Chapter 54 King An and Princess Pingyao are missing
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way quickly." The patrolling officer finally discovered something unusual here.
The vendors quickly made a way for them, and several officials squeezed in, poking the two lying men with their sword hilts: "Get up! Who are you?" The two of them didn't react at all.
"Did you faint?" an official asked.
Jun Hongyan's heart was full of fragrance: You're so confused, I've been tapped on acupuncture points, you idiot, you can't even see the acupuncture points, if you dare to poke me, I'll chop off your heads when I get back home.
Princess Pingyao had never experienced such humiliation in her life, and she was so ashamed that she almost died on the spot.
"Let's go back to the government office first. They are all scattered!" Several officials carried Princess Jun Hongyan and Heping Yao like a dead pig, all the way back to the government prison, and threw them into a rancid cell.
"Who are you carrying back? Why does it look like he's dead?" a thin official asked curiously.
"You're still alive. We don't know who he is, but he's just lying on the street with this kind of virtue."
The few officials who carried it back gasped, "It's as heavy as a dead pig."
The eldest princess of Pingyao now hopes to give her a piece of white silk and hang her to death.
If the officers had looked carefully, they could have seen the blushing faces of the two men. Unfortunately, due to the hustle and bustle on the road and the darkness of the prison, no one could see their expressions, and even if they did, no one would care.
"Let's ask when you wake up. It will save space." The thin official said and kicked him twice, but there was no response. He tried harder, but there was still no response. He frowned and said, "Bring some cold water."
He didn't believe it. Two living people could not be awakened.
"Wow!" Two buckets of cool water were poured all over his body.
I don’t know whether it was the time for acupuncture or because I was really awakened by the water. Jun Hongyan and Princess Hepingyao shivered a few times, but they were actually able to move. They were very happy.
"My king, this king is..." Before Jun Hongyan could lick his tongue, he was kicked in the heart by an officer again. The pain made him curl up into a ball and became speechless.
"You are so brave. You dare to call yourself the king. I am the king who can only be called the prince and grandson. And yet you caught a madman here."
"Bah, bad luck!" The officer locked the cell door and went to have breakfast in turn.
The eldest princess of Pingyao originally wanted to reveal her identity, but when she saw how the officials treated Jun Hongyan, she wisely kept her mouth shut.
A good girl doesn't suffer immediate losses. Who knows if these official servants will not only beat people, but also take advantage of her frantically. Anyway, when daybreak, the people in the house can't find them, and sooner or later they will come looking for them.
It's just her current image, alas! No one knows her here, which makes her feel more at ease. When she returns home, she will be even more embarrassed to see people.
General Chu was already wearing his official uniform and was waiting outside the palace gate. Watching the palace door open little by little, he straightened his official hat, straightened his chest and raised his head and entered the palace.
"Your Majesty! I beg you to make the decision for me. I only have two daughters, and both of them have been harmed by Prince An and Princess Pingyao! Since I attended Princess Pingyao's flower viewing party yesterday, my youngest daughter is now ill.
Bed, the eldest daughter is still unconscious. Thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince’s rescue, we were able to save her life!”
General Chu knelt on the ground:
"I have worked hard for Your Majesty in the south and north, and I have worked hard even without any credit. I beg Your Majesty to be considerate of me!"
The emperor was very angry when he heard this. Pingyao always knew how to behave, so why did he get involved in these things? But then again, when did General Chu also learn this skill of making people cry and wipe the earth?
"Get up quickly, what a great general who protects the country." The emperor was angry.
"Your Majesty, I am not a general now, I am just the father of two daughters. If Your Majesty does not make the decision for me, I will not get up."
General Chu was acting rogue, and His Highness the Crown Prince said that as long as he could arouse the sympathy of the Emperor, half the battle would be won. Xi'er had been bullied, and as a father, he couldn't even kill his enemies with his own hands, so what kind of face could he need?
"Your Majesty~" General Chu shouted in a long tone.
"Okay, okay, stop shouting. Someone, come and find Prince An and Princess Yao to confront you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" General Chu got up from the ground. His resolute face was full of grievance, which made the emperor close his eyes. It was so painful.
Those two bastards couldn't really join forces to harm Chu Yunxi and Chu Xueer.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong, Prince An and Princess Hepingyao are missing!" The little eunuch came back to tell him.
"What did you say?"
The emperor took action, and in the majestic city, the prince and princess disappeared for no reason? Could it be that these two people knew they had made a mistake and hid?
"Seal the imperial city and send people to find it!" the emperor shouted angrily.
General Chu had long heard Chu Wenzhong tell the story of last night in an emotional voice, which was very satisfying, but at this time, he still pretended to be surprised:
"Your Majesty! Prince An and Princess Hepingyao, could it be that they were afraid of your punishment, so they came up with such a plan?"
The emperor gave General Chu a dissatisfied look. After all, it was his child. He could guess that, but General Chu said this, and he was not very satisfied.
General Chu lowered his head and continued to add fuel to the fire:
"Your Majesty, it is related to the reputation of my two daughters. I beg you to issue a silence order. If Prince An and Princess Pingyao talk nonsense outside, how can our Chu family have the dignity to survive in the capital?"
The emperor rubbed his brows and couldn't help but wonder. Who makes people feel right now? He is the parent of the person who made the mistake.
"It is my decree that yesterday's flower viewing banquet shall not be spread to outsiders. Anyone who violates this will be killed without mercy."
"Yes!" The little eunuch took the order to deliver the order. General Chu finally calmed down for a while.
Not long after, Concubine Xiao got the news and hurriedly came to see the emperor.
"Your Majesty, my concubine's two children have disappeared for nothing. How can I survive? Your Highness must have kidnapped them somewhere. I beg your Majesty to save Pingyao and Yan'er!"
Concubine Xiao was crying and crying, so pitiful.
"How did Concubine Xiao know that it was the prince who did this?" General Chu asked with his nostrils glaring. It was not that he had done something wrong.
Concubine Xiao cried as soon as she entered the door, and then she found General Chu standing next to her, so she calmed down her emotions.
"Your Majesty, I heard that there was some misunderstanding between the prince and Yan'er yesterday. Your Majesty, please ask the prince to ask where they were hidden. If something happens to Yan'er and Pingyao, I will not be alive.
!”
General Chu frowned and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, your daughter cannot be bullied in vain because of Concubine Xiao's misunderstanding."
Concubine Xiao was not to be outdone: "General Chu, what do you mean? Don't talk nonsense!"
The emperor patted the table irritably: "Shut up, everyone. I have already sent someone to look for him. We will talk about it after we find him."
The emperor was in a commotion here, and Prince An's Mansion and Princess Pingyao's Mansion were in chaos. The house was turned upside down, and the master was not found, so he had to search all over the city. The guards took the papers of Prince An and Princess Pingyao.
The portrait asked around.
It was big news that the prince and princess were missing. However, when they were discovered, Prince An and the eldest princess were both in a miserable state with disheveled hair. They were so different from the noble appearance in the portrait that no one recognized them.
