Chapter 465: Rumors
After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Cheng Kang Chongqing nodded in the imperial history, agreed with Bi Xinqing's idea, and ordered him to start preparing, remembering not to leave the handle behind.
In less than a day, all corners of the palace were like a tornado, and with a very astonishing speed, it was spread that Mu Yirong, who was a fetish for broken sleeves with the nineteen princes, was on a hunger strike in the prison department because he missed the missing nineteen princes, and he suffered from lovesickness, and he was about to die.
In the emperor's bedroom in the west hall of the Taiji Palace, Gonggong Bian, who knelt on the ground to beat Emperor Xuanyuan's legs, was painting and adding oil and vinegar to tell Emperor Xuanyuan about the rumors about the nineteenth prince and Mu Yirong in the palace.
Emperor Xuanyuan, who was feeling a pain in his head because of the disappearance of the Nineteenth Prince, heard this and immediately kicked Gonggong Bian to the ground. Bian Gonggong, who was sincerely frightened, immediately knelt down and got up, began to slap his mouth, and scolded himself: "The slave has a lot of mouth, and the slave should die."
At this time, Liang Chen, the chief eunuch, walked in, glanced at Gonggong Bian, who was kneeling on the ground and slapped himself, and stepped forward to bring a bowl of lotus seed soup to Emperor Xuanyuan to dissipate his anger.
Emperor Xuanyuan has been unable to sleep and eat every day because of the disappearance of the nineteenth prince in the past few days, and the fire has caused blisters on his mouth.
He grinned in pain, picked up the lotus seed soup and poured it down, then slammed the bowl in front of Bian Gonggong, pointing at him and scolding.
"I saw that you were a clever and sensible person, so I left you, a minion, to serve by my side. I didn't expect you, such a foul mouth, to dare to tarnish the name of the Nineteenth Prince in front of me, I see that you are really bold and don't want to live. ”
Father-in-law Bian, who kept kowtowing, repeatedly sued and begged for mercy, and Liang Chen, who was standing aside, glared at Father-in-law Bian, and smiled and asked Emperor Xuanyuan not to be angry with an ignorant minion.
He said that the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water, but a person with a fiery and kind temperament like the Nineteenth Prince likes to have unguarded friendships with others and treats everyone as a good friend.
Moreover, when the Nineteenth Prince met a talent like Mu Yirong who shared the worries of the court and could really handle the case well, he was naturally very happy for the saint, and it was normal to make friends with him.
As he spoke, he looked at Father-in-law Bian, and his tone sank suddenly. Dao is just some dirty people in their hearts, seeing that the Nineteenth Prince and Mu Shilang are both handsome, they have dirty thoughts in their hearts, and they make up some rumors that are completely unreliable. completely ignored the fact that the nineteenth prince had already married eighteen beautiful concubines, and the wooden waiter also had a female pavilion chief by his side, just to make a mouth happy, he talked nonsense and opened his mouth.
When Emperor Xuanyuan heard Liang Chen's words, he lost a lot of anger, and glared fiercely at Gonggong Bian, who was still kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head, and praised Liang Chen for being sophisticated and mature and understanding things.
Liang Chen, who was the most good at touching Emperor Xuanyuan's temper, hurriedly said that he was not smart, but it was true, he was just, telling the truth.
Moreover, even if he didn't say so, the saint knew that Mu Shirou was worried about his friend and Shengshang was worried about his brother in the same way.
And Dali Temple Mu Shilang is a person who values love and righteousness, and followed the temperament of Mrs. Mu, when the first queen died, Mrs. Mu was also seriously ill, and almost followed along.
As soon as he heard Liang Chen mention the first empress, Emperor Xuanyuan couldn't help but sigh and asked Liang Chen what kind of sin he had created, middle-aged widowhood, and loss of his most beloved person. Now that he is about to die, even his favorite younger brother doesn't know if he is missing or killed!
Liang Chen was busy saying that there is nothing wrong with the saints, people have good fortune and misfortune, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, these are their respective fates.
But then again, the corpse under the fire stage has not yet been confirmed to be the Nineteenth Prince.
Right now, the Nineteenth Prince is only missing, and he can still be found, please Emperor Xuanyuan don't worry too much.
couldn't help but let out a long sigh again Emperor Xuanyuan, there were a few more strands of frost hair on his beard, and if the Nineteenth Prince traveled far away, he knew that he would be worried, and he would inevitably enter the palace in advance to inform him. If you run away in trouble, there will be a precursor, and there is no reason to disappear so silently and rashly.
And that charred corpse will not appear in the place where the Nineteenth Prince disappeared for no reason. And the corpse was still wearing the moon-white hot silver lotus-patterned robe that the Nineteenth Prince wore when he watched the play that day, how should this be explained?
Liang Chen was silent for a moment before he said, the most important thing at the moment is to find the Nineteenth Prince first and confirm his safety.
And he felt that it was probably not the best choice to do things in the way of the Imperial Historical Tower.
Usually, Dali Temple is responsible for searching for evidence, arresting the murderer, and submitting it to the Criminal Department for interrogation and verification.
And only when a courtier commits a crime, or a major case, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department will ask for a joint investigation with the Yushitai.
In normal times, the Imperial Historical Observatory does not conduct front-line visits and investigations to arrest murderers.
Liang Chen said that Yushitai is not incapable, but there is a saying that "county officials are not as good as being in charge", such as this kind of investigation and search for people, or Dali Temple is the best at it.
Liang Chen's words are very reasonable, but the Mu Shilang and the pavilion chief of Dali Temple are involved in this case, so it is not good for them to come out to investigate.
In case, the two are related to the disappearance of the Nineteenth Prince, wouldn't they be a tiger returning to the mountain?
Liang Chen said in a soft tone that if he wanted the tiger to do things for him, he had to put the reins on his body like driving cows, horses and livestock.
Everyone knows that Ruicao and Mu Yirong, the female pavilion chief of Dali Temple, have a great relationship, as long as one of them is let out and the other is locked up, they will become the reins of the other party.
And Dali Temple is only a collaborative investigation, and the dominant power is still in the hands of Yushitai, in case Dali Temple plays any tricks, several adults in Yushitai will not sit idly by.
Emperor Xuanyuan, who had a temper just now, now became a little sluggish, and after listening to it for a long time, Mu Mu nodded and agreed with Liang Chen's statement, and asked him to inform the Yushitai, release Mu Yirong, and find the disappeared nineteen princes.
When the Nineteenth Prince comes back, he will definitely kick the Nineteenth Prince's ass to see if he dares to make him worry about nonsense like this again!
Liang Chen hurriedly bowed down, waiting for Emperor Xuanyuan to lie down on the dragon couch to rest.
Emperor Xuanyuan, who was lying sideways inward, was in a daze, as if he had returned to the past. He stood side by side with the former Empress on a stone bridge and watched the young Prince Nineteen flying kites not far away.
At that time, it was really beautiful and nostalgic!
Liang Chen, who was waiting for Emperor Xuanyuan to lie down, turned around and saw that Gonggong Bian, whose cheeks were red and swollen, was still kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to get up, so he sighed, turned around again, and asked Emperor Xuanyuan: "Your Majesty, Gonggong Bian is still kneeling ......."
Emperor Xuanyuan, who waved his hand outward at will, motioned for everyone to go out, and Gonggong Bian stood up from the ground, rubbed his aching knees, bowed to Emperor Xuanyuan and thanked him, and then walked out with Liang Chen.
It's just that Gonggong Bian, who went out, completely ignored Liang Chen's kindness, and reminded Liang Chen not to get too close to the eldest prince, this time the disappearance of the nineteenth prince must be inseparable from the eldest prince.
"Our family knows that you are the lady of the lady. Just now, you mentioned in front of the Holy Lord those words that ruined the reputation of the Great Prince and Mu Shilang, but it happened to lead our family to the topic. Thinking about it soon, Mu Shilang will find the Nineteenth Prince and help the eldest prince clear his suspicion. ”
After Liang Chen said this, he shook off the dust and walked away with a smile.
