Chapter 452: The Burning Stage (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The disappearance of the nineteenth prince gradually developed in a strange direction, and Mu Yirong, who felt more and more that the situation was not quite right, took a step forward and saluted the eldest prince: "Xia Guan suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, and wanted to go to the stage to check it again." ”
The stunned and suspicious eldest prince nodded, saying that this matter is indeed a little strange, and he has to go back to the stage to find out the situation.
Mu Yirong retreated, and as soon as he turned around, someone hurriedly ran in outside the palace gate, it was the entourage of the eldest prince, who was sweating profusely and ran to the front of the eldest prince, bent down and saluted.
"Your Royal Highness, there was a sudden fire on the other side of the stage. ”
The stage suddenly caught fire, Mu Yirong no longer hesitated, and immediately rushed out of the Nineteenth Prince's Mansion, followed by Seocho.
Liu Qingyan, who silently withdrew her gaze from Mu Yirong's back, said with a solemn face: "Husband, the concubine thinks this matter is not very usual, should she also go with her?"
The Nineteenth Prince suddenly disappeared from the stage, and then someone pretended to be a member of the palace and lured them away from the stage, and then the stage was inexplicably on fire, if there was nothing strange in it, who would believe it.
Ma Anyuan, who was originally relieved, had to admit at this time that the sudden disappearance of the Nineteenth Prince should not be self-directed, but really something that they did not expect.
The timid Nachar's face was full of uneasiness, even his toes were nervously picking at the ground, and a pair of eyes kept wandering between his friend Da Pony and the Great Prince, and his thoughts were rushing and flipping.
Judging from the current situation, it is very bad, the Nineteenth Prince may not simply disappear, this is really a small life for him!
The Nineteenth Prince is the most beloved younger brother of the Holy Lord, and has intended to pass on the throne, if he disappears like this, these people present will definitely not have good fruit to eat.
The eldest prince and his wife are noble, and the eldest horse has the support of the eldest princess, he is just a small Tuntian Lang, without a solid background background, if the nineteenth prince really has a case, he will definitely be the first to be hung on the gallows.
Nachar is not a person from the camp of the big prince, but just borrowed the light of his friend Ma Anyuan, and followed him to watch a scene, and by the way, he made friends with the big guys, and the result was indeed a good big "play".
Lin Zhengyi, the guard of the eldest prince, said with an expressionless face that the stage was on fire, and there was a danger, so it was not recommended for the eldest prince to go.
The eldest prince with an anxious face said that the whereabouts of the nineteenth prince are now unknown, and the stands are inexplicably on fire, so he really can't rest assured, and he has to go and see it in person.
The eldest prince went resolutely, Liu Qingyan grabbed the eldest prince's hand, and said that no matter where he went, she would follow him without hesitation and never give up.
Ma An, who also looked anxious, had to go and see him from afar, otherwise he couldn't rest assured, and Char naturally had to go with him.
It's just that Nachar, who followed everyone like a tail, suddenly had a very dangerous idea just now.
He suspected that the disappearance of the Nineteenth Prince might be related to the eldest prince!
If the Nineteenth Prince is really missing, then there are not many people in the entire Shangjing City who dare to touch the prince.
Also, not long ago, the current saint expressed his desire to pass on the throne to the nineteenth prince, but the nineteenth prince disappeared inexplicably when he was watching the play with the eldest prince, isn't there anything related to this?
Although Nachar was timid, his brain was not stupid, and he thought a lot in his mind.
However, seeing that the eldest prince was anxious and worried about the disappearance of the nineteenth prince, and the appearance of running around regardless of his troubles, it really didn't seem to have anything to do with it.
Nachar, who sighed deeply in his heart, said in his heart what kind of bad luck he was, how could he encounter such a thing. I couldn't help but pray silently in my heart, hoping that the Nineteenth Prince would return safely.
In Yongle Fang, Mu Yirong and Seocho stood in front of the stage with a raging fire, wanting to get closer, but they were almost overwhelmed by the heat wave.
A long line of waterwheels was already fighting the fire, but the fire was so terrible that it showed no signs of being extinguished. A small bookstore
The boiling heat wave seemed to turn into a tangible palm, constantly slapping on the person's face, and after a while, the cheeks felt hot, as if they were dry and cracked.
Billowing black smoke rose into the sky, making it difficult to move an inch, and Seocho watched for a while, then retreated to the vicinity of the stands and walked to the east.
Seocho, who had not walked a few steps, was grabbed by Mu Yirong, who hurried to her approach.
"What are you going to do alone?"
The tongue of fire in front of him was running around, and there were people shouting and running to put out the fire everywhere, and from time to time someone was knocked down and fell on the muddy ground, the scene was very chaotic, Mu Yirong was worried that Seocho would ignore his own safety, rush into the sea of fire to check, and hurriedly stopped her.
"Before the stage caught fire, I used to see the fire faintly in the courtyard wall near the east side of the stage. It's just that the light of the fire is a little strange, it seems to be green. ”
In the Fang market near the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, Changle Fang, Daning Fang, and Xingning Fang used to be inhabited by prominent imperial relatives and important ministers in the court.
Later, for the pastime of these dignitaries and nobles, Changle Fang began to change from private houses to shops, and many people started to buy and sell.
Gradually, many places in Changle Fang have been transformed into places for people to consume and have fun, but they are only limited to the aristocracy, and the ordinary people are mixed in the east and west cities, and will not go to Changle Fang for consumption.
There are geisha in Changle Fang, which is different from brothels like Huanxianglou, who do not accompany customers to drink, but only perform singing, dancing and musical instruments for people to enjoy.
But if you have enough face and enough money, those geisha will also have a drink or two with you, and that's it.
The abandoned house next to the stage was originally the residence of Prince Xiao, that is, the emperor's twenty-third brother, and it was the son of Emperor Taishang after Emperor Xuanyuan became the crown prince.
This filial prince is very blessed, Emperor Xuanyuan died not long after he ascended the throne, but it is the word "filial piety" posthumously, and he is nicknamed.
Prince Xiao died early before he got married, and there was no one to inherit the huge mansion.
Emperor Xuanyuan is the eldest son and eldest grandson, and he inherited the throne naturally, and the younger brothers below are also very obedient, except for some who voluntarily moved out of the capital, the rest live near the Sixteen Princes' Mansion.
When Prince Xiao died, Emperor Xuanyuan said that he had such a younger brother, and none of them were missing.
I hope to keep the house they lived in during their lifetime, as a thought, and when he comes down from the throne, the abandoned house will be used for other purposes.
Perhaps it is because Emperor Xuanyuan cherishes brotherhood very much, so his younger brothers love him very much, although there are many people in Beijing, but I have never heard of anyone who has any disobedience.
Unlike now, there are only three princes, but for the position under his father's ass, he almost fought for the position under his father's buttocks.
In the past, these old princes would enter the palace to accompany them, but since the death of the first queen, Emperor Xuanyuan's temper has become more and more eccentric and picky, and he began to superstitious about cultivating immortals and enlightenment, and almost cut off contact with all the princes.
When Emperor Xuanyuan's body was still tough, he was not sloppy in managing the government, and the people below did not dare to be lazy and slippery. In the empty palace of Prince Xiao, every seven days, someone will go into the house to sprinkle and sweep.
But I don't know when the palace of Prince Xiao gradually neglected management, and the barren grass was everywhere, inhabited by insects, ants and rats, and wild cats and frogs.
At night, the whole house looks very ghostly and terrifying.
I don't remember what day it started, when someone passed by Prince Xiao's mansion at night, he suddenly heard a desolate woman's cry from inside, and he was so frightened that he sat on the ground and peed his pants.
There are even people who are so frightened that they almost go crazy when they see the green ghost fire bouncing high in the courtyard wall in the dark night.
After that, the house was completely deserted, and the grass grew all over the yard, even more than a man tall.
