"Courtiers see the emperor."

The candlelight flickered in the study, casting figures in the corners.

The emperor sat at the back of the imperial case, his eyes full of anger: "I have received the news, can the secret guards of the Hou Mansion find out Pei Huan's whereabouts?" ”

Song Shuwan lowered her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes: "If you go back to the emperor, you haven't yet." ”

"Bang!"

The emperor slapped the imperial case heavily: "How could such a big person, still in a wheelchair, disappear for no reason?" ”

Song Shuwan didn't speak, she also received the news later, and she didn't know as much as the emperor.

Time passed, and the emperor pinched his eyebrows, which were a little painful: "The city gate has not been opened, Pei Huan must still be in the capital, but he will ...... tomorrow morning."

Song Shuwan raised her head, even though she was still afraid of the emperor in her heart, but at this time, she looked directly at the emperor.

"Why didn't the emperor make a holy decree and directly close the city gate?"

The emperor lowered his eyes slightly, and asked in a majestic tone: "Do you know how much impact this holy decree will have on the capital?" ”

Song Shuwan said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The courtiers don't know how much impact it will have, but the courtiers know that if they can't find the son, the emperor's heart will definitely not be stable. Closing the city gate is actually the easiest way to save effort, isn't it? ”

The emperor didn't say anything, just looked at Song Shuwan fixedly.

The atmosphere in the imperial study gradually froze, and a silent sense of oppression fell on Song Shuwan, but she didn't seem to notice it, and she still looked at the emperor.

"Hmph, haven't you thought about it? I don't know why the people behind it want to arrest Pei Huan, but now that the person has disappeared, the only thing I can do is to search, closing the city gate is indeed a simple and labor-saving method, but have you ever thought about the possibility of a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry? ”

Even a worm will turn!

Song Shuwan's pupils shrank, she thought about this possibility, but ......

"Once the prince is taken out of the capital, the fate he faces will not be better than closing the city gate, the emperor, ask the emperor to save the son's life!"

Song Shuwan kowtowed heavily and lay motionless on the ground.

The emperor was speechless, and after some time, he sighed: "I know that you are eager to save people, but I have more to think about than you think, so you should step down, I am tired." ”

"......"

Song Shuwan still wanted to speak, but she paused as soon as she said a word, she might be able to get her wish if she chased after her, but it was not the right time to chase after her, it would only make people bored.

The king of a country is not a man who can shake his mind with a few words of pleading.

"The courtiers brought the people captured by the prince into the prince, I don't know if the emperor wants to see her?"

The emperor was silent, shook his head after a long time, waved his hand and said, "She will stay in the Hou Mansion for the time being, and when the time comes, she will be sent to the palace." ”

Sent to the palace?

Song Shuwan felt that these four words were a little strange, so she couldn't help but glance at the emperor, and bowed a few moments later.

I don't know when the rain outside stopped, Song Shuwan looked at the stars that came out, and thought of Pei Huan, who was now in an unknown situation, and felt a little irritable in her heart.

One or two have a purpose, but she is in it and doesn't know anything, and this feeling is extremely aggrieved.

Out of the palace, the dark one came head-on: "The princess, the emperor is ...... over there"

Song Shuwan raised her hand and motioned for him to silence first: "Let's talk about it when I go home." ”

Dark One reacted, quickly looked left and right, lowered his head and retreated to the side.

Back at the Hou Mansion, Song Shuwan repeated the emperor's words, and her face darkened suddenly.

"How can the emperor do this? Ming Shizi is for ......"

"Be careful."

Song Shuwan interrupted him and unconsciously leaned back in the chair: "I know that you are anxious, but now is not the time to be anxious, if the emperor has no hope, we have to rely on ourselves to find people, I think, the people under the prince are not worse than the emperor's people, right?" ”

The room fell silent, and he raised his head darkly: "The people of the prince of the world will naturally not be worse than the emperor, please rest assured that the princess of the world will definitely find the people." ”

Not long after the darkness opened, the sky was bright, Song Shuwan rubbed her eyebrows that were a little swollen and painful, and was about to sleep for a while, but who knew that the porter came to report, saying that there was a small servant from outside, and someone claiming to be from Yongwang's Mansion came to deliver the post.

"This is the post from that little guy."

After the concierge finished talking about the situation, he respectfully handed over the post.

Song Shuwan took it, looked at it casually, frowned slightly, and the post was blank, is this really a post sent by Yongwangfu?

"Flying kite, you go and ask, see if this post is really sent by King Yong's Mansion?"

The flying kite stepped forward and left with the post.

On the other side, the dark one has already sent people to guard the four gates of the capital, but there is no gain at the end of the day.

In the evening, Song Shuwan got the reward, and she wondered in her heart, the city gates everywhere are the way to leave the capital, Pei Huan fell into the hands of others, and if the group of people wanted to take him away, they must go through the city gate, but there was no abnormality......

Just as he was thinking about it, an inquiry voice came from the courtyard: "Is the princess here?" ”

Song Shuwan came back to her senses and gave Baicao a look, and the latter would go out and turn around, with a little more solemnity in her eyebrows.

"The princess, it was handed over by the Hou Ye, saying that I hadn't had dinner with the prince and the princess for a long time, and I missed it tightly, so I ......"

She didn't finish her words, but Song Shuwan heard it clearly, and couldn't help sneering: "This is an abnormality, so I deliberately tried to tell the messenger that the prince and I were going to go out of the city to burn incense today, and we were not free." ”

Baicao passed the word.

Half an hour later, Song Shuwan left the Hou Mansion with more than a dozen people.

In the Qingzhu Courtyard, Master Hou and Mrs. Hou listened to the process, and both of them were very strange in their hearts.

Mrs. Hou frowned and said, "Could it be that the news is wrong?" So Pei Huan didn't actually have an accident? ”

Hou Ye didn't make a sound, took out an envelope from his arms, last night he suddenly received a letter, the letter said that Pei Huan was taken away, and now his whereabouts are unknown, if Hou Ye has any arrangements, he will hurry up, he has doubts in his heart, so he wants to test it in the daytime, but he didn't expect Song Shuwan to come to such a hand.

Do you want to burn incense when you leave Beijing?

Hou Ye's eyes darkened: "You prepare, this Hou arranges for you to enter the palace, you remember, you must coax the Queen Mother to be happy, so that the Queen Mother can speak, and the stepchild can have the opportunity to inherit the position of Dingyuan Marquis." ”

Mrs. Hou bowed: "Don't worry, Master Hou, there will be no problem." ”

Here, Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou were busy entering the palace to curry favor with the Queen Mother.

On the other side, Song Shuwan left the capital with people, they did not go far, and after leaving about six miles, they quickly turned around and went to Beizhuang, where the Queen Mother had stayed before.

However, as soon as Song Shuwan got off the carriage, an arrow suddenly flew towards her, and when a thousand troops were fired, the flying kite shot down the arrow.

At the same time, everyone saw the note tied to the arrow.

The flying kite stepped forward and picked it up: "The princess, the note says that the princess is in their hands, and they want the princess to go to the ruined temple twenty miles outside the city alone...... Substitution. ”
