Most of the people who serve as sword-carrying guards and walk in front of the emperor have good family backgrounds. This young guard also comes from a wealthy Manchu family and was well-educated since childhood, so he can also understand simple Mongolian. After listening to the words of Queen Mother Qiqige, he
He buried his head even lower, held the saber at his waist tightly with his blood-stained hands, and whispered in an embarrassed voice:
"Returning to the Queen Mother, the Imperial Concubine and Prince Yu have already searched Jingshan twice with their servants. At the moment, they only found these two little things and the assassin's body that fell on the ground. The Emperor has not been found yet.
, the figures of His Highness and Eldest Brother.”
"The Imperial Concubine asked me to come back and report the situation first. We are currently searching the mountain for the third time."
Everyone's heart couldn't help but feel cold when they heard his words.
Jingshan is so big, and I have searched twice without seeing anyone, which proves that the emperor, father and son are really missing. It would be better if they were hiding in a hidden place in the mountains, but if they were caught by the rebels who rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty,
If you live there, you can imagine the consequences...
"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead!"
The Empress Dowager, who had been tough all her life, couldn't help but have red eyes. She held the Empress Dowager's arm tightly and supported her. Several clear veins broke out on the back of her withered old hands with age spots. She shouted in a trembling tone:
"The Ai family believes that the grandson of the Ai family will never die so easily. If you send more people, even if Jingshan is turned upside down, you still need to help the Ai family determine whether the emperor is trapped in any corner due to injury.
I can’t get out of my place!”
Seeing the Queen Mother losing her composure, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but feel a little sore in her nose.
Perhaps it was due to the deep love between father and son or the deep understanding between brothers. At this time, Xiaosi felt that his chest was getting more and more stuffy, and tears came out of his eyes. Just as his little face turned red with anxiety,
He didn’t know what to do, and a picture of Yinha happily pulling a cart on the loess road popped up in his mind, with his pink tongue sticking out, and he suddenly had an idea and shouted:
"Haha! Look for haha!"
"Mom Ukuma, please quickly send someone to look for Haha at the Imperial Mansion on the outskirts of Beijing. Haha is a wolf dog, and with its sharp nose, it will surely find the person faster if it can sniff the clothes of Khan Ama and his brothers."
Xiao Si stretched out his hands and grabbed the hem of the Queen Mother's flag uniform, raised her little head and cried:
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Aunt Ukuma, hurry up and ask them to take Haha to Jingshan Mountain. If it's too late, it'll be too late!"
Although the Empress Dowager did not recognize "Haha", when Xiaosi said it was a wolf dog, and thinking of the sharpness of the dog's nose, she hurriedly said:
"Listen to Fourth Brother, go to the Imperial Mansion and bring the wolf dogs to Jingshan Mountain to find people. Take as many as you want, go quickly!"
"Yes! I obey, my slave!"
The young guard seemed to have seen new hope. He immediately nodded and stood up from the ground. He leaned over to leave and ran out quickly.
"Suma, hurry up and go to Qianqing Palace and Nansan Institute to find some of the emperor and Baocheng. Baoqing's unwashed clothes and things they usually like to play with should be packed up and sent to the Ai family in Jingshan.
Go up."
The Empress Dowager turned her head and shouted to Aunt Sumala who was standing behind her.
"Yes, master, slave and slave will go right away."
Aunt Sumala also hurriedly ran out with a few fast-footed young eunuchs.
At this time, Hui Bi quickly raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears on her face, and climbed up from the ground with Xi Lian's help. Her Bao Qing could even survive smallpox when she was three years old, but she did not want to believe that her
The son disappeared so easily, chasing the figure of Aunt Sumala, he crossed the threshold in flowerpot-soled shoes and hurried out.
Concubine Hui's departure seemed to have opened a gap. The Empress Dowager looked around at the warblers, waved her hands feebly and said:
"You have just heard the latest news, so don't stay here at the Ai family. Go back to your palace to pray for the emperor and the others."
"Yes, I will retire."
All the concubines also wisely stood up from their chairs and bent down to salute.
Wait until Concubine Wen and Concubine Tong leave the hall one after another.
When Concubine An saw Xiaosi, who was standing next to the Empress Dowager's legs with her back straight and her brows furrowed, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh and then took her palace maid back to Changchun Palace.
Zhongcui Palace and Jingyang Palace were only separated by a wall. Concubine Rong Ma Jia held a child in each hand and left with her own pair of children and concubine Wang Jia, who was holding the third princess Yilmu, back to the East Sixth Palace.
After the remaining concubines Duan and Xi also left, Yi concubine was ready to turn around and leave. When she reached the wooden threshold, she turned her head and glanced at the soft couch again.
Seeing that Xiao Wu, who had been fed by the nanny and put back on the soft couch, wearing red clothes, was lying on the soft couch obediently without crying or fussing, with his two chubby little legs raised high.
, the little head with sparse fetal hair was lifted up hard, and the little hands holding the little fat feet were trying to break them down. It can be seen that he really wanted to put his feet into his mouth and taste them, even if the nanny
Even without teasing him with a rattle, the little baby can play happily alone.
At this time, ignorance can be regarded as a kind of happiness. She turned around sadly and raised her soft white right hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes and walked towards Cining Gate without stopping.
After a while, only the two empress dowagers and four children were left in the originally packed hall.
"Hey, Qiqige, please take Fulana and Xiao Wu back to Shoukang Palace."
The Empress Dowager patted the Empress Dowager's hand and said.
"No, Queen Mother, I will stay here to accompany you tonight." Qiqige shook her head and said.
"Si Si is also accompanying Nanny Wukuma." Yin Xiaozhen also grabbed the Queen Mother's right hand hanging by her leg and said.
"Flana will accompany me too!" The eldest princess, who was sitting on the soft couch, also hugged her fourth sister tightly into her arms. After walking down the steps, she trotted all the way to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and said.
"Yaya, you're not leaving either." Xiao Kejing also shook her head like a rattle and said with a loud voice.
Seeing the familiar eldest sister Fulana suddenly leaving, Xiao Wu didn't care about kicking himself. A pair of peach blossom eyes that looked similar to Yi Bin chased after the two sisters, and he lifted himself up like a white girl.
The little arm like a lotus root shook up and down and shouted "Ah~ah~", and the bell on the silver bracelet on her wrist also made a crisp ringing sound.
The dim palace lanterns in the Forbidden City were all lit up one by one, and at the same time, bright torches were burning everywhere in Jingshan Mountain to the north.
Nearly six hours have passed since the emperor was assassinated. At the beginning of the day, the third search of the mountain still found nothing.
Qingyan was wearing a green riding outfit with messy hair and sitting on a horse. Her clothes were soaked with sweat and blown dry by the night wind. Her face and neck were also scratched by branches, and there were a few shallow blood marks on her throat.
Became hoarse.
"Xu~"
She tugged on the reins in her hands to make the horse stop, then took out the golden whip wrapped around her waist and whipped it twice at the peach and apricot trees beside her, followed closely by the pink peaches and yellow apricots.
It fell down like rain.
The horse, whose limbs were weak from running and had begun to pant heavily, hurried forward and lowered its head to eat the peaches and apricots that fell on the grass.
Qingyan also opened the cowhide water bag, raised her neck and drank a few large sips of water to moisten her dry throat that was about to smoke.
After drinking the water, she put the water bag back while looking at the Forbidden City with candlelight at the foot of the mountain. She felt extremely anxious and couldn't guess where Kangxi was now.
"Ouch, ow, ow, ow~"
At this moment, a burst of howling sounds suddenly came from behind.
"Mother, mother, there are so many wolves and dogs here."
Liang Jiugong, who was also riding behind him, shouted loudly to Concubine Jing in front.
The guards who didn't know the husky were initially frightened and thought they had run into a pack of wolves. Only when they heard the word "dog" did they put back their unsheathed sabers.
After hearing the noise, Qingyan hurriedly pulled the reins to turn the horse around. At this time, Yinha, who smelled the smell of the big man, dragged the young guard behind him who was holding the dog leash and spread his four paws towards the imperial concubine happily.
The queen ran away.
"Oow, woof, woof, woof~"
"Ha ha?"
Qingyan lowered her head and saw the half-grown husky jumping up and down in front of her horse, screaming with joy.
"Awwww!" "Mother, I will go back to the Cining Palace to report to the Empress Dowager the method proposed by the Fourth Brother to let the wolf dogs look for people."
As soon as the young guard, who was holding the dog leash in his hand to control the wolfhound from running around, finished speaking, a dozen more imperial guards holding huskies ran out from behind him.
"Oh, how could I have forgotten this?"
Qingyan felt that she was really stupid. She reached out her hand and slapped her forehead in annoyance, then turned over and dismounted neatly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the palace has sent someone to give the Emperor their clothes."
At this time, He Zhuer, whose eyes were red and swollen like walnuts, also hurried over holding a bright yellow bundle.
"Hurry up and take out the clothes inside and let Haha smell it."
After Qingyan shouted at He Zhuer, she immediately stepped forward to take the dog leash from the young guard's hand, squatted down and rubbed Haha's furry dog head, looking longingly at its round almond-like eyes and said:
"Haha, smell these three smells carefully. We are looking for people with these smells, please!"
As if he understood, Yinha stretched out his white right front paw and patted the big man's arm. Then he put his wet black nose close to He Zhuer, held up the clothes in front of him, and rubbed the bright yellow clothes one by one.
I sniffed the dragon robe, the apricot yellow robe and the royal blue round collar robe carefully for a while.
He Zhuer held three robes with trembling hands and looked at Yin Ha intently, not even daring to take a breath.
Prince Yu Fuquan, who rushed over after hearing the sound, saw this and quickly dismounted from his horse. He imitated Qingyan's movements and called to Cao Yin and Nalan Rongruo to quickly pick up the other items in the bag and let the other wolf dogs one by one.
They sniff.
"Ouch~"
After a while, Yinha turned his head to the side and howled.
Qingyan felt energetic for a while, she couldn't help but clenched her fists and whispered to Yinha:
"Haha, do you remember the smell up here?"
"Ouch, ouch!"
Yinha flicked his tail, turned his head to the east, and used his hind paws to claw at the loess soil.
Qingyan saw that it was about to run away, so she quickly stood up and pulled the dog leash, following Yinha's strength and running eastward.
Before anyone else could react, the other wolf-dogs followed Yinha and ran forward.
"The guards holding the wolf dogs in their hands should hurry up and follow the steps of the imperial concubine. Everyone else should mount their horses and follow me quickly."
Fu Quan hurriedly pressed the saddle, stepped on the stirrups and mounted, raised his arms and shouted loudly.
Cao Yin and Nalan Rongruo looked at each other and quickened their pace, each holding a big wolf dog in their hands and chasing closely behind Qingyan and Hahaha.
About half an hour later, when a group of people followed a group of wolf dogs and ran to the foot of the east mountain, they stopped.
"Mother, we have searched here three times, but we haven't found anyone."
Cao Yin couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said with some disappointment when he saw that the wolf dogs actually led the group of people back to the starting point.
Qingyan also didn't expect that Yinha would bring them here.
She thought she had searched the mountain three times and still couldn't find anyone, so she might as well take a gamble now. She knelt down again and looked at Yinha with a hoarse voice and said:
"Haha, are you sure the smell disappears here? Can you smell it carefully to see where there is more residual smell?"
Yinha lowered his head and put his nose close to the grass roots, dragging Qingyan all the way to the east to smell it. When he reached a thick patch of grass on the side of the road, he broke away from the leash and jumped in with a "ouch" and stretched out his two legs.
The front paws began to pull hard on the ground.
In an instant, loess, weeds, and wild flowers were flying everywhere. Qingyan, Fuquan and their guards stepped forward and looked at Yinha's movements in surprise.
"Mother, the board, that seems to be a big board!"
When Nalan Rongruo raised the torch in his hand and saw a small piece of log color emerging from the loess with Haha's movement, he shouted out.
"Haha, come back! You guys should be more careful and come forward to see what's going on?"
With a thump in her heart, Qingyan called Yinha back and then frowned and gave instructions to the guards around her.
"yes!"
Nalan Rongruo and Cao Yin led four more guards, holding the sabers at their waists tightly and stepping gently on the grass to the place where the wolf dog originally lay.
After a few people looked at each other, they bent down to find the edge of the board, and then they all worked hard to lift up a rectangular board about one meter wide and one and a half meters long, and then a large square opening was revealed.
"My dear, this is a real place!"
After Cao Yin picked up a piece of gravel from the grass and threw it in, he found that the imagined danger did not appear, so he jumped boldly, and then the people present heard his voice.
After Liang Jiugong and He Zhuer heard this, they rushed forward in a few steps. When they saw the dark tunnel, they immediately cried: "My Lady, does this mean that Your Majesty and the others have fallen into the hands of those traitors!"
Qingyan was so shocked that she didn't know what to say. Jingshan could be said to be the royal back garden, but someone had dug a tunnel silently. She thought that they led people to search the mountain stupidly over and over again.
Shan, didn't the traitors who fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty secretly kidnapped the father and son under their noses? He ordered with an eyebrow.
"yes!"
