Chapter 238 I am missing a concubine who knows martial arts
The caravan from the Western Regions must be in disguise, and the person coming must be a warrior or counselor from the Western Regions. The leader of the caravan climbing Wolong Mountain seen in the past two days may be a scribe.
The leader of the caravan that hijacked Judy's prison car should be a samurai.
One is civil and one is military, and the division of labor is clear.
Premeditated!
Zhu Youde told his guess, and Wang Zhonghou and the other three nodded and thought it made sense, especially since the eunuch from the Dongchang Order was bribed to verify it.
Li Renjie stepped forward to ask for orders: "Your Majesty, please give the order. I will arrest them all secretly and catch them by surprise."
Zhu Youde originally had such a plan, but he couldn't figure out why people from the Western Regions wanted to visit Lu Shengzhi again and again.
Mr. Qilin's reputation in Daliang Capital is not well known. The little eunuch of Dongchang could leak the news about his coming to Jinling City, and his address in seclusion could be leaked, but he would never collude with the Western Regions.
This puzzled Zhu Youde and he shook his head to reject Li Renjie's idea of sending troops.
"Send people to monitor in secret, and don't take action for the time being. The martial law under General Wang Po's expedition has not ended yet, and they will not dare to leave for a while."
"Don't alert the enemy. It will be too late to take action after I find out the truth."
After Zhu Youde gave the instructions, he went to Kunning Palace. These were the good days when the Queen was pregnant with her son, so she could not delay her hard work.
Outside Kunning Palace, the sound of the piano was lingering, and laughter could be heard from time to time.
The little emperor raised his eyebrows lightly. It seems that the beauties are all here, so tonight he can be twice as happy or even triple happy...
Pushing the door open, Luo Xian took the first seat, the Liu family twins, Qing Yu, and Qian'er were all there, and there was also a white figure.
Liu Xuan'er is also here?
"I have met Your Majesty."
"Wei Chen has met your Majesty."
Zhu Youde waved his hand and his eyes fell on Liu Xuan'er: "Ai Qing's habit of staying in the palace?"
Liu Xuan'er was a little embarrassed by the sudden arrival of the little emperor. She was forcibly dragged to Kunning Palace by the Liu family twins, under the pretext of saying hello to the queen.
I am not the emperor's concubine, why should I pay my respects to the queen?
But the Liu family twins dragged her here unreasonably.
Facing the little emperor's questions, she felt a different kind of emotion in her heart. There were all the emperor's concubines in the palace, but she...
"Your Majesty, everything is fine." She had no choice but to reply: "I am accompanied by the Liu family sisters in the palace. I spend most of my time admiring flowers and grass in the Tinghua Palace, and I often go to the Qinglian Palace to listen to the Qingyu Empress playing the piano...
"
Liu Xuaner recounted her daily life with several concubines in the harem, and her face immediately turned red. What is the difference between this kind of life and that of a canary raised in the harem?
But Zhu Youde didn't realize that something was wrong, and instead happily asked her to move around more.
"The beauties in my harem each have their own characteristics. The queen is dignified and virtuous, Qingyu is good at music, Qian'er is happy to listen and write, and the Liu sisters are unparalleled in raising flowers and grass... What I need is a concubine who is good at martial arts!"
The first half of the sentence was normal, but the next sentence made everyone's expressions change slightly.
Your Majesty, are you no longer pretending? Are you speaking your mind?
Even though they were actively promoting this goal, the twins of the Liu family also looked at each other, frowning slightly and looking at His Majesty in surprise - isn't this too abrupt?
It wasn't like this when you took down our two sisters...
Even the queen stared at Zhu Youde in astonishment, the embarrassment written on her face. You openly teased a beauty in front of me, don't expect to feel comfortable tonight!
The most astonished person was Liu Xuan'er, whose pretty blushing face was full of shock. Although she already knew His Majesty's thoughts, it was so direct that it was hard for anyone to do anything...
Comply or decline?
Nothing seems right!
Everyone in the hall had different thoughts. Zhu Youde was the first to break the calm: "Ahem, I am not..."
Before she could finish her words, Liu Xuan'er leaned forward and interrupted: "Your Majesty, I am sick, please leave first."
She also ignored etiquette and left Kunning Palace directly.
No matter which outcome, she was not prepared...
"Your Majesty! How dare you do this!" Liu Xiyun's stern words brought Zhu Youde's gaze back.
Immediately, there was an explosion in the palace. Several concubines were talking about when Liu Xuan'er would join the harem group. Among them, the twins of the Liu family were the most lively.
"I'll just tell you. His Majesty will definitely say it himself..."
As soon as he said this, Zhu Youde realized something was wrong. He froze on the spot for a moment and suddenly realized it. He rushed to the Liu sisters and took out the dragon gripper.
"How dare you two girls tease me?!"
No wonder Liu Xuan'er will be in Kunning Palace tonight. It turns out that the twins of the Liu family did this deliberately.
Liu Xiyue and Liu Xiyun protected their chests and did not let Zhu Youde succeed. Instead, they raised their eyebrows and said, "I am also thinking about your majesty."
Zhu Youde took a deep breath and walked towards Longtai with the two girls in his arms. The other concubines saw this and stepped back. Luo Xian was grabbed by the wrist just as she was about to leave.
"Concubine Yun and Concubine Yue have committed a crime. The queen has improper supervision. I will enforce the family law tonight and make you complain again and again!"
The beauty wanted to struggle, but it stimulated Zhu Youde's desire to conquer.
Not long after, Kunning Palace kept chirping, sometimes rising in the sky and sometimes trough, like a joyful sports song.
At this time, Liu Xuan'er returned to the side hall, touching her hot cheek and lost in thought...
…………………………………………
The next morning, Zhu Youde was very depressed when he looked at the broken documents. He forgot that the documents in Kunning Palace had not been replaced, and the quality was not as strong as that in Yangxin Palace...
Luo Xian's pretty face turned red with embarrassment when she saw the messy inner room. His Majesty's fighting power became stronger and stronger. He fought with one enemy three times and did not lose. On the contrary, she and the Liu sisters were defeated first and shared the nourishing food.
"Your Majesty, don't you want to rest for a while?"
Zhu Youde, who had put on his clothes, looked at the three beauties on the dragon cave and shook his head slightly: "I am going to Wolong Mountain. I will let you rest first and then fight again tonight!"
…………………………
At the foot of Wolong Mountain, Zhu Youde and Li Renjie climbed up again. They thought they had arrived early enough, but they never thought that someone was ahead of them.
It was the businessman from the Western Regions I met two days ago.
Zhu Youde, who had discovered the other party's identity, nodded politely and passed Li Renjie, but he never expected to be stopped by the leading middle-aged man.
"You two may take a rest for a while. I have questions and would like to ask for advice?" The man's tone was respectful, his posture was humble, and he was very polite. Although several young people behind him followed the salute, they still had arrogance in their eyes.
In just a few seconds, Zhu Youde could roughly identify the identities of these people.
The man in the lead may be a prestigious scribe from the Western Regions, and the young man behind him may be a prince or aristocrat, following him through training.
He stopped, nodded and said in return: "Sir, it doesn't matter if you say so."
"I have seen that you have climbed Wolong Mountain many times, but why are you here to see Mr. Qilin?"
Zhu Youde nodded calmly on the surface, but his heart was already stirred up. This group of people really wanted something from Lu Shengzhi.
"May I ask what is it that keeps you coming here so many times without getting bored?"
Zhu Youde glanced at Li Renjie, wanting to see if he had understood the meaning in the past few days.
After receiving the instruction, Li Renjie nodded and chuckled: "If you are sincere, things will come true. Aren't you guys also asking to see Mr. Qilin?"
After the words fell, the faces of several people changed slightly and their expressions were unnatural...
