Meng Xinzhu looked at Xiao Zhao who was a little dazed, smiled strangely, and waved her hand in front of his eyes, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
"Sir," Xiao Zhao came to his senses, clasped his fists and lowered his head, "It would be rude to leave without saying hello to the old prince. Why don't you go find the prince, say goodbye to him, and then come back."
Meng Xinzhu shrugged, "Oh, it's tiring to be so polite when everyone is so familiar with each other. Let's go!"
Wow, this scene is really spectacular. Those who were about to catch the hydrangeas and those who were watching the fun gathered around in three circles. I don’t know whose young lady was standing on the top of the three-story attic wearing a veil, looking down.
with the crowd.
Meng Xinzhu and Xiao Zhao were standing outside, with the crowd in front of them being so dark that they could not see where the old prince was. Seeing this scene, Meng Xinzhu couldn't help but think of the scene in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" where the little swallow disrupted the hydrangea throwing to attract a bride.
She looked at the people who were eager to try, wondering if there would be a "little swallow" coming to cause trouble.
The young lady on the attic looked at it for a while and then said a few words to the little girl next to her. The little girl nodded, picked up the hydrangea and threw it towards the girl's favorite person.
Meng Xinzhu was weighing her feet, looking for her godfather. She didn't even notice that something was flying towards her. The hydrangea had already flown in front of her eyes and was about to hit Meng Xinzhu. She didn't realize it until she realized it, but it was already inevitable.
That’s it. What’s that lady’s look like? How could you fall in love with her? She’s obviously a woman disguised as a man!
Xiao Zhao suddenly stepped forward and blocked Meng Xinzhu behind him. He waved his palm lightly and knocked the embroidered ball away. The crowd roared and followed the embroidered ball in the other direction.
Xiao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. Just now he was looking for the old prince and almost made the emperor's concubine become someone else's son-in-law. He shook his head, turned around, and couldn't help being surprised. Concubine Zhu, who was clearly blocked by him just now, was already there.
No trace.
He looked around. Everyone seemed to be paying attention to Hydrangea, and there was no one suspicious. He couldn't help but frown. Judging from his experience with Zhu Fei, it was impossible for her to pass by him without making a sound.
Disappeared without a trace, unless a martial arts master took her away.
Xiao Zhao took a few steps away from the crowd and threw a small ball into the air. The ball rose rapidly and then made a loud cannon sound. The ball turned into seven red fireballs. Zhu Fei was taken away without saying a word.
That person was someone she knew, maybe a partner, and he could just follow the clues and find out the identity of Concubine Zhu.
But what he is more worried about is another possibility, that is, Zhu Fei has lost the ability to resist and was taken away. Someone who can take people away from him silently has martial arts skills that are not inferior to him. Zhu Fei is in this kind of situation.
It must be very dangerous on human hands.
Hongde Longqiu, who was sitting in the royal study, also heard the sound of the cannon, which was a signal cannon exclusive to the Yan clan.
Once the signal cannon is fired, all city gates will be closed for the entire month, and all the Flame Clan will be on standby.
He stood outside the royal study. What happened? It was so urgent that the city gates needed to be closed and the Flame Clan summoned? His heart couldn't help but panic, and his uneasy mood made him frown.
Before the flames of the ball disappeared, ten people in white clothes had already gathered around Xiao Zhao. They surrounded Xiao Zhao, listened to his instructions, and then all jumped away after a while.
The group of people who were snatching the hydrangeas were frightened by the sound of the cannons, and they were all stunned.
The Nine Emperor Gods squeezed out from the crowd, ran in front of Xiao Zhao, and asked softly: "What's wrong? What happened that requires calling the Flame Clan!"
Xiao Zhao ignored him and turned around to leave.
"Hey, brat, what did I ask you, my lord? Don't think that my lord, who is usually so carefree, won't be angry. If you don't reply, my lord, I will lose my temper!"
Xiao Zhao still ignored him and continued walking, paying attention to the surrounding situation. Seeing the flame ball just now, the guards at each city gate must have closed the city gates. He sent his men to notify the Sixth Prince and the Tenth Prince.
Prince.
"Boy!" The Nine Emperor Gods were really angry. He jumped in front of Xiao Zhao and stopped him, "Speak quickly!"
"My lord," Xiao Zhao said softly, "you didn't realize that Concubine Zhu is missing!"
"Ah?" The Nine Emperor Gods were shocked, only to realize that his goddaughter was not around all the time. He and Xiao Zhao were the only ones walking along the road just now, "What's going on?"
"This matter will be discussed later. My lord, please send your men to assist in the search in the city. Once the flame ball is released, the city gate will be closed, so it is impossible for them to leave the city silently in such a short time."
"Okay!" Uncle Nine Emperors also knew the seriousness of the matter.
After receiving the report from the Flame Tribe's messenger, Hongde Longhao was stunned. The Bamboo Concubine and the Emperor's Wife had actually disappeared, and she disappeared next to the first-class guard Xiao Zhao. Bamboo Concubine and the Emperor's Wife, did he really want to see the Bamboo Concubine and the Emperor's Wife?
I'm wrong. Did you really come to the palace with a purpose? Are you leaving now because your purpose has been achieved? He didn't waste much time and left the palace with his members of the Flame Clan.
At night, Uncle Nine Emperors and Xiao Zhao both knelt in the imperial study room. They searched the city for a long time but could not find the Bamboo Concubine, not even a trace. It was getting late, and I believe the emperor had already seen the flame ball.
They were waiting to report what happened. They didn't dare to delay any longer, made arrangements to continue the search, and went back to the palace to apologize. After all, losing the princess was a big deal.
Hongde Longqiu was sitting on the dragon chair. He was completely shocked by the news Xiao Zhao brought back. How could this be possible? A person who was fine in the morning suddenly disappeared, and even after searching for him for the whole month, there was no sign of him.
The Nine Emperor Gods slightly raised his head and looked at Hongde Longqiu. The emperor seemed to have not accepted this fact yet. He couldn't help but lowered his head. He really regretted why he went to join in the fun and watch the hydrangea throwing. In the morning, he promised the emperor that he would take care of him.
His daughter was returned unscathed, but everyone was lost. He was not afraid that the emperor would punish him, but he was worried that something would happen to his goddaughter.
Xiao Zhao was also cursing himself secretly. If he had not taken into account the false etiquette and accompanied Concubine Zhu back to the palace from the beginning, such a thing would not have happened. He knew Concubine Zhu's status in the emperor's heart, but he still didn't know what the emperor would do.
What do you think?
Who would take her away? Hongde Longqiu asked himself. After spending so long with her, she didn't seem to know anyone outside the palace except those literati. He knew Xiao Zhao's martial arts very well.
, to be able to take someone away from this first-class guard, you still don’t realize that that person’s martial arts must not be weak. Could it be the dark shadow that appeared in the palace? Is he someone who wants to help Concubine Zhu or someone who wants to harm her?
Where is the person? Is she enjoying herself now or...
