Normally, the xiaolongbao would be the first to pop out every time it’s time to eat, but today it’s been half a day and the xiaolongbao hasn’t come out yet.
After searching around several places she usually visited, Mu Xuanyi was also very anxious.
At this time, a girl came over and told her hesitantly about Xiao Long Bao's outing today.
"I was anxious to go to class at that time, so I didn't tell you."
"Miss, punish me, it's my fault."
The girl lowered her head, her face full of guilt.
Mu Xuanyi opened her mouth, but still couldn't say any words of blame.
"You can't be blamed for this. She wanted to go out on her own."
But Xiao Long Bao has always been sensible and would never do such worrying things. She is more inclined to believe that Xiao Long Bao has an accident outside.
The group of people hurriedly ran out, asking about the whereabouts of Xiao Long Bao along the way.
When I mention this, many people's faces light up and they talk vividly.
Xiao Longbao had not gone far outside when he was taken into the palace, where he must have gone to enjoy the blessings.
"Imperial Palace? Are you sure?"
Mu Xuanyi listened to the other party's description with confusion on his face.
She had a lot of dealings with the palace, but the people in the palace shouldn't be able to kidnap the little dragon bag, right?
"Of course! The sedan is embroidered with a golden dragon! Who else but Your Majesty can use dragons as the pattern on the sedan?"
The passer-by swore that it was indeed the palace as he pointed in one direction.
Mu Xuanyi was shocked and confused, but after asking several passers-by, they all said the same thing, and even told them what Xiao Longbao was wearing when he went out today.
If one person says it might be a coincidence, and if three or five people say the same thing, then it's probably the truth.
Full of doubts, Mu Xuanyi took the initiative to find Feng Yunxian and wanted to ask him if he knew about this matter.
But the door of Feng Mansion was closed tightly, and Feng Yunxian didn't come back for two or three days.
In order to prepare for sacrifices, he had to do many things by himself, and rarely went home.
With no help here, Mu Xuanyi had no choice but to go to the palace alone.
There is only one person in the palace who can let her patrol freely, and that is the good concubine.
When Mu Xuanyi passed by, Liang Fei had already rested, but knowing her visit, Liang Fei put on her clothes again and came out and welcomed her in affectionately.
"Why did you come here so late at night?"
Although she has nothing to do with Bailiyuan now, Concubine Liang still values her very much and welcomes her to visit at any time.
"I came here this time because I have something to ask of your concubine." Mu Xuanyi lowered her head and told Concubine Liang about what happened today.
"You said that child was sent to the palace?" Concubine Liang was also a little confused. It was rare for someone to be brought into the palace, let alone a little girl of several years old.
If it is a young girl, then it is very possible.
"Those who saw it said that the sedan that took her away was embroidered with golden dragon patterns. Apart from Your Majesty, no one in the world should be able to use golden dragons as decorations, right?" Mu Xuanyi didn't believe that it was the emperor who did it.
, but now she has no choice.
"That's true. You said that the sedan chair embroidered with the golden dragon is His Majesty's seat. Only Your Majesty can ride it on weekdays."
Liang Fei nodded, still feeling incredible.
How could a sedan that could only be made for the emperor pick up a little girl?
"I hope that Concubine Liang can send someone to inquire about the news and find out where my daughter is now..." Mu Xuanyi looked at Concubine Liang nervously.
If Concubine Liang didn't agree, she would have no choice but to go to Bailiyuan.
"Okay, Xiaocui, you go out now. Xuanyi, come in with me and wait. It's too cold outside."
Liang Fei nodded, asked her personal maid to help investigate, and invited Mu Xuanyi into the room.
Bailiyuan has been gaining momentum in the court recently, and Liangfei, as his biological mother, naturally received preferential treatment.
There was a warmth in the room, and the maids served her wholeheartedly.
"If it is really His Majesty's sedan, then there is a high probability that nothing will happen to the child."
There are many ways to pick up people in the palace, but only a few people can ride in sedan chairs.
"Your Majesty has seen xiaolongbao before, and he will never forget it. I... don't know why your majesty took the xiaolongbao away this time." Mu Xuanyi held hot tea in her hand, but she felt uneasy in her heart. After all, she was the only one who knew
The life experience of Xiao Long Bao.
"Perhaps there is something wrong? Do you know? The Imperial Master has been out of retirement recently." In order to divert Mu Xuanyi's attention, Liang Fei deliberately found other gossip.
Mu Xuanyi has long heard about the Imperial Preceptor. It can be said that Liang Fei’s current prosperity and wealth are all due to the Imperial Preceptor.
If it hadn't been for the words of the Imperial Master, Concubine Liang probably wouldn't have known where she was now, where she would have been treated kindly by His Majesty for so many years.
Even if there was something wrong with Bailiyuan's IQ, Liang Fei had never been treated harshly.
"The Imperial Master is still alive?" Mu Xuanyi's brain almost turned into a pile of mush, and he regained some sense.
In her opinion, the Imperial Master should be of the same generation as the good concubine. After asking His Majesty to seal the crown prince, he has not come forward for more than ten years, and many people have spread the news that he is dead.
"Of course the Imperial Master is not dead. He has been in seclusion in Xingchen Pavilion. He just came out of seclusion in the past few days and was summoned by His Majesty."
Liang Fei nodded. Naturally, no one told her these things. She only knew that His Majesty was very fond of the Imperial Master and had been staying with him these past few days.
"I just hope that your majesty will not believe in any immortality or recruit any Taoist priests into the palace to refine elixirs. It will be fine as it is now."
The good concubine had often heard stories about belief in immortality, which led to the destruction of lives and the displacement of mountains and rivers. She only hoped that the emperor could sit down and abdicate in peace without causing any trouble.
"Everyone longs for immortality, but if that were the case, life might be meaningless."
Watching the people you know grow old and leave one by one before you, as long as they are people with a little more friendship, you will definitely not feel good.
If they really have no desires or pursuits, immortality will not be of much interest to them.
Liang Fei nodded: "Yes, it's just what His Majesty has in mind. We can't speculate."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
While the two were talking, Xiao Cui's shout suddenly sounded, and then the door was opened. Xiao Cui gasped and saluted the two of them.
"Have you found any trace of Xiao Long Bao?" Liang Fei looked at Xiao Cui, not quite approving of her babbling behavior.
"Many people in the palace are concerned about this matter today. The Imperial Master picked up a little girl from outside the palace and sent it directly into the Star Pavilion, saying that it was auspicious from heaven and that this little girl is related to the prosperity of our country.
"
"If it's correct, then the little girl is the Xiao Longbao the county is looking for."
