Hongde Longqiu no longer dared to think about it. He clutched the armrest of the dragon chair tightly, and the pain in his heart continued to expand. He weakly raised his head and looked at the two kneeling people, "Xiao Zhao, bring this person back."
"Yes, I obey your order."
The Nine Emperor Gods looked at Xiao Zhao who was leaving, and then at the Emperor, "Your Majesty's nephew, what do you want me to do?"
Hongde Longqiu rubbed his temples without opening his eyes, "What can I ask of your uncle?"
"The Emperor's nephew!"
Hongde Longqiu suddenly stood up and left the dragon chair, "Uncle Emperor, let's go play seriously!"
"Your Majesty! I know this crime is too serious. Uncle..."
"Uncle Emperor, I just want to pray that Xinzhu is safe and sound, nothing else matters."
Hongde Longqiu did not go to Zhuyuan. He just told everyone that because the new gadgets designed by Concubine Zhu were too complicated and it would be difficult for Uncle Nine Emperors to make them, she was allowed to leave the palace and live temporarily in Prince Kang's Mansion. No one in the palace was there.
They were interested in caring about a concubine who was once again ignored by the emperor, but they were also very curious about what happened, which actually alarmed the Flame Clan.
Hongde Longqiu sat on Yuekang Mountain, where Meng Xinzhu gave him a seductive kiss. For three months, he had been looking forward to the day when the confinement period was over, when he could sleep with that soft hair on his head, and
Seeing her helpless expression when she saw him staying overnight, and...
But now, he could only sit like this alone. He couldn't help but think of what Meng Xinzhu said yesterday after being drunk about expectations and disappointments. He looked up at the sky. The color of the sky tonight was the same as his mood. The clouds were thick and gray.
Yes, there is no shadow of the moon or stars. "Xinzhu, where are you?"
The people of Yuedu were a little panicked. They heard that important things were lost in the palace, and the whole city was full of soldiers who were searching carefully.
Standing on the city gate and looking at the searching soldiers, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but think of the time when he was looking for the Bamboo Concubine in the palace. The Bamboo Concubine was a master of hiding, and she could hide safely in the palace for several months, not to mention it was bigger than the palace.
It was several times the size of the moon. If she really wanted to hide it, it might be difficult to find her. Thinking of the emperor's eyes that had lost their sparkle, he frowned.
For seven consecutive days, the entire city of Yuedu was searched for seven consecutive days. The scope of the search had also been expanded to the outside of the city. The Flame Clan led soldiers to search every corner, but still found nothing.
The Nine Emperors, the Sixth Prince, and the Tenth Prince all sat tiredly in Prince Jing's Mansion, while Xiao Zhao was still directing them outside.
"Daughter Xinzhu, where have you gone?" Uncle Nine Emperors shook his head and sighed. Ever since he knew what happened, Princess Nine would not spare him lightly. On the one hand, she helped the emperor and pretended that Princess Zhu was in Prince Kang's Mansion.
In order to cover up the public's eyes and ears, on the other hand, she threatened her old man that if he could not find his daughter, he would not be allowed to return home, so he could only stay in the home of the tenth emperor's nephew.
Hongde Longhao also felt uncomfortable. Yu'er wanted to go to Prince Kang's Mansion to see the emperor's sister-in-law, but he always stopped him. Looking at Yu'er's suspicious eyes, he didn't know how long he could hide it. He admired the emperor's brother very much.
I went to court on time every day, reviewed all the memorials every day, and didn't seem to be distracted by this matter.
How do they know how Hongde Longqiu has been spending these days?
He promised Meng Xinzhu that he would become an outstanding emperor, and he also wanted to conceal the disappearance of Concubine Zhu, so he had to be diligent as usual and suppress all the sadness and pain to deal with the government affairs.
Although he knew that Xiao Zhao and the others were searching all over the capital, Hongde Longqiu would leave the palace to search on his own once the state affairs were settled, but most of them would return without success. He knew that the longer the time dragged on, the less hope that Zhu Fei would come back.
The younger he gets. In the past, because of Meng Xinzhu, he felt that he didn't understand the palace. Now it was also because of this woman that he realized that he didn't understand his own country either. How could he hide someone so well that he could never see anyone alive or dead?
corpse!
Hongde Longhao stood in the imperial study room, looking at his imperial brother who was reviewing the memorial. He now had to admire his father's vision. Although he loved himself the most, he handed over the throne to his third brother. His father could see that he
He doesn’t have the determination and control of his third brother.
I didn't realize it when I didn't see him, but when I saw the third brother today, I realized how anxious he was and how worried he was about the safety of the emperor's wife. However, he did not forget that he was an emperor, nor did he forget his responsibilities as an emperor.
"Still no news?"
"yes."
"She has left the city?"
"It's very possible, but it's also surprising. Xiao Zhao has already sent a signal to close the city gate at the first time. There is a long distance between the place where the emperor's wife disappeared and the city gate. No matter how good the Qinggong is, it is impossible for someone to close the city gate in such a short time.
Leave the city within the time.”
Hongde Longqiu sighed softly. Hongde Longhao looked at him. The emperor's brother had looked a lot haggard these days, "Brother Huang, good people have God's blessing. I believe that the emperor's sister-in-law will be fine. Don't
Too worried."
"How can we not be worried? Her skills are good, but her martial arts is average. She can deal with ordinary people without any problem. If she has some internal skills, she is no match. What's more, the martial arts of the person who took her away is not inferior to Xiao Zhao.
"
"Brother Huang, don't you think it's someone she knows?"
Hongde Longqiu shook his head, "I don't know, Long Hao. In fact, she has always wanted to leave the palace. She doesn't want to stay with me. Maybe she will take this opportunity to leave. If this is the case, I may be more sad, but
You can worry less."
"Brother Royal!"
"I regret it now. If I had let her go, maybe everyone would have been more relaxed, and we wouldn't have had to make her suffer so much, and I wouldn't have fallen so deep."
"Did the Emperor really decide to let her go?"
Hongde Longqiu stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the starry sky, "That was back then, but now I can't let go. No matter how hard it is, I will go with her to the end." He turned around and looked at the tenth emperor brother,
"Long Hao, I have decided to take a risky move. From tomorrow onwards, I will stop searching the city and open the city gate. I will say that the things in the palace have been found, but I still need to find the person who stole the things. I will ask everyone who goes in and out of the city gate.
A strict investigation will be carried out. Three days later, the imperial notice will be issued, announcing that the person who stole the things has been found, and I will execute one eunuch and two palace maids."
Meng Xinzhu lay in shock. She used her remaining will to open her eyes slightly. It was dark. There was darkness all around. Could it be that she was going back to modern times again? But this time she didn't feel that way.
It felt like the air was squeezing, and although she couldn't see anything, she felt as if she was on a moving object, and there were sounds coming from all around. They were footsteps, very dull footsteps, with echoes.
