C109 – Palace
The next morning, when the procession was ready to leave, a eunuch tumbled and crawled to the front of the emperor’s carriage and was nearly shot like a hedgehog by the guards.
“Who are you?” The eunuchs were surrounded in the middle by spears.
“Your Majesty …” Your Majesty, Third Prince, he … “He’s gone missing …” Young Eunuch’s eyes were red and swollen, obviously he was extremely frightened.
The emperor frowned. “Why is the Third Prince missing?”
“This servant doesn’t know, but when I woke up this morning, I found that the Third Prince was gone, and the Seventh Young Master Huo was also gone.”
“Where are the people on duty? They all died? Go and call him to come and ask! ” The emperor looked at Lai Jiquan.
The latter accepted the order and left. Not long later, he brought a few trembling servants over to kneel on the ground.
“Where’s the Third Prince?” the Emperor asked sadly.
If this had happened before last night, the emperor might have been slightly nervous, but after the fight between the two last night, he was already certain that Teng Yu had run away from being angered.
“Return… In reply to your majesty, Third Prince had the servants leave last night after he went to sleep. There was no one left in Your Highness’s room, the servants stand guard outside the courtyard and did not see Third Prince leave. “
“Heh, do you mean to say that these two big living beings have disappeared without anyone noticing?”
The few guards sprawled on the ground, shivering.
It was a good thing that the emperor knew what was going on and did not make things difficult for them, he only said, “Since the person disappeared under your noses, I will give you a chance to atone for your sins. After today, find the Third Prince and bring the person back to the palace.
“…” “Yes.”
The emperor left behind another group of imperial guards to search for the person before leaving with a large group of imperial guards.
Huo Zhengquan knew that Huang Hongda had stayed behind with a hundred Huo Family Army after this matter, and the feelings he had towards this Seventh Son whom he had lost and lost were even more complicated.
No matter how he argued, in the eyes of outsiders, Huo Tian must have been labeled as a Third Prince, which was not a good thing for Huo Family.
The guards only dared to get up after the last shadow of the group disappeared from their line of sight. They looked at each other and felt a sense of joy after surviving a disaster.
Although the Third Prince said that they would definitely be fine, they could not help but feel fear in their hearts.
Fortunately, they did not see Third Prince leave his room last night, and what they said was the truth.
But how did Third Prince get out? Could it be that he could fly in the sky and escape into the ground? The guards were puzzled.
“General Huang, Commander Lee, what are your plans?”
Huang Hongda said: “This Lu Shan’s palace is heavily guarded, it’s impossible for Third Prince and Seventh Young Master to come out without being discovered. From what I see, the two of you are probably still in the palace, how about we search it first?”
Commander Li made his position the same as Yin Xu, and as the Commander of the Palace, he was already dissatisfied that there was an additional competitor for no reason.
Thus, he smiled coldly, “I will listen to General Huang’s orders.”
The Huo Family Army s were renowned throughout the world, and the palace guards were both respectful and jealous of them. The Huo Family Army s, on the other hand, looked down on these palace guards who were in the capital eating and waiting for their deaths, so the two groups of people did not get along well.
Huang Hongda simply divided the troops, each of them searching for their own. As long as he could find one of them, the other would definitely be gone.
Yin Xu and Teng Yu still did not know that there was a group of people searching for them at the bottom of the mountain. After entering the mountain, they did not travel throughout the night, but went to rest in the cave at the halfway point of the mountain for four hours.
Teng Yu gave the initiative to Yin Xu, and wherever he pointed, he would go without any hesitation.
Yin Xu felt that bringing such an obedient dog out the door, with him knowing the way to go, cooking, warming up his bed and other functions, couldn’t be better.
In the capital, the doors to the palace were wide open. Concubine Yang led her wives and concubines to kneel down in greeting.
To them, this was one of the few times in the year where they could see the emperor. How could they miss it?
Among the women in this harem, some of them would never be able to see the emperor more than a few times in their entire lives. Some of them were still lecherous girls even when they were old.
“Your Majesty …” Concubine Yang was wearing a red palace dress, she looked over gently and gently. She wasn’t considered beautiful, and her color wasn’t outstanding in the imperial harem, but she grew up with the Emperor. The two of them knew each other well, and their relationship wasn’t ordinary.
“It’s been hard on you.” The emperor helped her up and said in a gratified voice, “With you helping me take care of the harem, Imperial Consort Yun will be slightly more at ease.”
“This is what chenqie should do.” Concubine Yang replied obediently, then she walked in front of Imperial Consort Yun and bowed.
The Imperial Consort Yun wore a sincere big smile on her face as she helped him up. She said the exact same words as the Emperor, and every word she said came from the bottom of her heart.
Since he had returned to the palace, the Emperor was naturally the first to go see the pregnant Consort Rong. Imperial Consort Yun followed closely behind him, saying that she should also go congratulate him.
Even after reaching the Bedroom Hall where the Consort Rong was, the emperor’s footsteps still slowed down. He rarely came to this palace, and the moment she entered it there was no sign of life.
“Why is it so desolate? What about the palace maids and eunuchs that served him? ” The Emperor frowned and asked the Imperial Consort Yun.
“Your majesty, the Consort Rong said she likes peace and quiet, so she only left four palace maids and four eunuchs by his side. However, that was in the past, and now she isn’t alone anymore. Imperial Consort Yun secretly cursed: You slut, wasn’t putting on an act just to make the Emperor’s heart ache for her?
The emperor nodded in satisfaction, not seeing the sinister look in the Imperial Consort Yun’s eyes.
“Little sister, did you not know that the emperor returned early?” The Imperial Consort Yun turned to ask the Concubine Yang. Logically speaking, since the Emperor had already arrived here, the person inside should also come out to welcome him.
If Concubine Yang missed out on the notice, that would be even better, which meant that this woman couldn’t manage this huge harem at all.
The emperor raised his eyebrows and gave Lai Jiquan a meaningful glance.
Lai Jiquan understood tacitly, and shouted loudly: “The emperor is here!”
A few palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly ran out, all of them looking tired. “Servant, servant greets the emperor, long live the emperor.”
“Where are the Consort Rong people?” Imperial Consort Yun looked behind them and asked.
One of the palaces nervously replied, “Reporting to Your Majesty, Imperial Consort’s Empress, Consort Rong’s body is unwell and unable to get up.”
“What’s going on?” When the Emperor heard that someone was sick, he rushed in with great concern.
Imperial Consort Yun and the rest of the concubines curled their lips. How could they not know that this woman used this chance to play tricks in front of the Emperor?
Imperial Consort Yun glanced at Concubine Yang and saw her standing quietly at the side. She raised her eyebrows, who knows if Concubine Yang found out about that.
Due to her early return and the hasty arrangement by the palace, perhaps she was still too slow to notice it.
Walking into the palace, he heard whispers of conversation and crying. It was a scene of the reunion after a long separation.
“Your majesty, chenqie didn’t come to the palace to welcome you. She deserves to die a thousand times for her crimes!”
“Hey, what’s the point of such a small thing like this?” If it’s inconvenient for you, you can dispense with these formalities. “
The Emperor looked at the pale-faced woman lying on the bed and sighed in his heart: If only she wasn’t the Liu Queen’s cousin.
“Has Imperial Physician Xuan come to visit?”
Consort Rong struggled to sit up, her pale face blushing a little pink as she replied shyly, “I’ve come to see her. The imperial physician said that there’s nothing wrong with chenqie, but she’s a little weak.
“That’s good.” The emperor stood by the bed, glanced at the Consort Rong’s stomach, spoke a few more words of consolation before leaving.
He and the Consort Rong did not have any feelings for each other. It was because of her stomach that he was able to come personally.
The Imperial Consort Yun made a long list in front of the Emperor, asking for people to send over all kinds of tonics and treasures, making it so that there was not a drop of water left.
After exiting the Consort Rong’s palace, the Concubine Yang looked to be in hesitation, her mouth opened wide several times but no words came out.
When the consort saw this, she asked loudly, “Big sister Yang, what’s wrong?”
When the emperor turned around, his gaze landed on Concubine Yang’s face, coincidentally seeing her indecisive expression.
“What’s wrong? Speak if you have something to say. “
“Your Majesty …” “chenqie indeed has something to report, but this matter …” Concubine Yang clenched her hands, her eyes revealing a trace of grief.
The emperor waved his hand and dismissed the other concubines, leaving Concubine Yang and Imperial Consort Yun behind and brought the two to Lanxin Hall in Imperial Consort Yun.
“Why is my sister hesitating? “If you have anything to say, say it in front of the emperor. But someone has been disobedient in the past few days?”
No …” The Concubine Yang suddenly kneeled down and cried, “Your Majesty, chenqie … “Chenqie discovered something important. Chenqie doesn’t dare to say it, wuu …
The emperor who had just had a cup of tea slapped the table heavily as he heard this and shouted, “What is it that you do not dare to say? What else is there in the palace that needs to be kept a secret. “
“Yes, yes …” The Concubine Yang seemed to be quite frightened as she stuttered, “Chenqie accidentally heard about something related to little sister Imperial Consort …”
She paused for a moment, then carefully glanced at Imperial Consort Yun with a scared look.
The person he was afraid of was obviously not the emperor.
Imperial Consort Yun sneered, and spoke with righteousness: “Big sister Yang, don’t beat around the bush, if you have anything, just say it out in front of the Emperor.
Concubine Yang took a deep breath. “Your Majesty, I heard that Lanxin Palace has a Voodoo Gu hidden inside.”
“Pah!” The fine porcelain cup fell to the ground. The Emperor stared at her with an ugly expression. “What do you mean?”
Imperial Consort Yun seemed to be scared silly. She stood there blankly and knelt down crying after a long while: “Your majesty, you have to help chenqie ah, which bold servant spread this rumor? “Chenqie is wronged …”
