Facing Hongli's rebuke, the two of them were speechless. They could only kneel down to plead guilty. Agui said bravely: "Please be at ease, Your Majesty. We will definitely find the Imperial Concubine and the others as soon as possible."
Hongli sneered and said: "You said the same thing two days ago, what's the result? Agui, tell me, what's the result?" After a pause, he said with a cold face: "I don't care what method you use, in short
We must find the Imperial Concubine and Prince He, even if... we turn Yangzhou City upside down, do you understand me?"
"Wei ministers obey the order." After Zhaohui and the others agreed, Hongli added: "Except for the necessary guards in the palace, everyone else is searching along the river. As for Yangzhou Magistrate Chou De..." His eyes turned cold.
, Chao Sixi said: "It is my will that Chou De, as a parent official of Yangzhou, has never treated the people well; this time he let the Tiandihui rebels sneak into the palace to assassinate, causing the imperial concubine and Prince He to disappear. The crime is unforgivable, and will be
He will be immediately dismissed from his post and investigated, and the post of magistrate will be temporarily replaced by his fellow magistrate."
After Sixi, Zhaohui and the others left, Hongli fell weakly into his chair, with lingering melancholy in his eyebrows...
Xianyue, where are you? You know that I am very worried about you. Are Hongzhou and Hongzhou safe?
In just a few days, to Hongli, it felt like several years had passed. Whether it was Xianyue or Hongzhi, they were all people he cared about. Something happened together now, so how could he not be worried?
.
Although the emperor has all the power in the world, he still has a sense of powerlessness in matters of life and death.
However, not everyone is as worried as Hongli or Princess Yu. Some people wish they would never find them, especially Xianyue.
"Ah, no!" Mingyu sneezed again, took the handkerchief handed by Ji You and wiped his red nose, complaining with a thick nasal voice: "This Dr. Zhou is really useless, he drank it for three days in a row.
Even though I have taken medicine, my condition has not improved and my head still hurts a lot."
Wei Jingxuan happened to come in with the medicine. Hearing her words, she smiled and said, "I think my master's condition has improved a lot. I think if I take it for a few more days, I'll be fine."
Mingyu frowned as soon as he smelled the medicine in her hand. After reluctantly drinking it, he quickly put a kumquat in his mouth. After the sweet and sour taste diluted the bitter taste in his mouth,
Just then she said: "I hope so, otherwise if I drink any more, I will only have a bitter taste in my mouth." After a pause, she said: "By the way, is there any news about that bitch?"
Wei Jingxuan said with a smile at the corner of her mouth: "Don't worry, Master. I have inquired and there is still no news about the Imperial Concubine. It has been three days. She must be in danger."
Mingyu sneered: "That bitch always sows dissension in front of the emperor. Now he finally got his comeuppance. It's really great!"
Ji You said from the side: "Without the imperial concubine causing trouble, I believe that the master and the emperor will soon reconcile and become even more affectionate than before."
Mingyu said with deep understanding: "Yes, I and the Emperor have reached this stage because of her. Without her, everything will return to its original position." When she said this, she frowned slightly.
, said: "But the emperor once said... that he would abolish the throne of this palace, I'm afraid..."
Wei Jingxuan comforted her: "I believe that it was just the emperor's angry words. Otherwise, how could it not be mentioned for so many days? After all, you are the emperor's wife, and the emperor is a person who cares about old relationships, so he will not be so heartless."
Heartless."
"My aunt is right. I also believe that the emperor will not do that, so the master can rest assured. No, the emperor just sent Eunuch Xi to inquire about the master's condition this morning. It can be seen that the emperor still cares about the master.
"
Their words made Mingyu feel relieved and said: "I hope it is as you said, otherwise..."
"No, please don't." Wei Jingxuan glanced outside and said, "Master, you have been staying in the house these days, and you must be a little depressed. I see that the weather is very good today, and it is not very hot. Why don't you help you go outside?"
Let’s go and get some fresh air.”
"That's fine." With that said, Mingyu helped Wei Jingxuan's hand and went outside. As Wei Jingxuan said, it was not hot outside, especially when the wind blew by, blowing away the remaining trace of heat.
Mingyu was in a good mood because her serious worries were gone. While strolling among the flowers and trees, she was talking to Wei Jingxuan. Unknowingly, she came to the palace near Xishun Gate. In addition to the main entrance, there were many rooms on the east and west sides of the palace.
There are side entrances, and Xishun Gate is one of them.
When the guard saw Mingyu coming, he quickly knelt down and saluted. Mingyu glanced at it casually and was about to leave. Wei Jingxuan suddenly said in her ear: "Master, look at that man, he is so strange. He keeps looking outside. Did you say yes?"
Could it be the same as that time, a rebellious member of the Heaven and Earth Society?"
When she said this, Mingyu also noticed the person lingering outside the door. His appearance and clothes were very ordinary, just like an ordinary Yangzhou people. But if he was really just an ordinary person, why was he lingering outside the palace?
He went there and looked around from time to time, his movements were suspicious.
Mingyu frowned slightly and said to the guard who had not yet stood up: "How long has that person been outside?"
The guard lowered his head and said, "It has been a while since I returned to the Queen." After a pause, he asked tentatively: "Do you want me to drive him away?" They had noticed that person for a long time, just because he had not been too close to the palace.
, so they were not driven away.
Mingyu nodded slightly and said: "It is not appropriate to have idle people hanging around the palace. Drive them away immediately."
The guard responded and strode outside. The middle-aged man who looked at the honest man was startled when he saw the guard coming out. He stood there at a loss, not knowing what to do. When he heard the guard telling him to leave,
After that, he refused to leave. The guard looked impatient, and he quickly said: "Brother, I was entrusted by someone to come here to see someone."
The guard looked him up and down and said in surprise: "Who do you want to see?"
"Meet..." The middle-aged man's lips moved several times, and finally he mustered up the courage to say: "I... I want to see the emperor."
His words startled the guard, who looked at him again, and then said with vigilance: "Who are you, and why do you want to see the emperor?"
The middle-aged man saw that his tone had increased, and his expression was even more nervous and flustered than before. He waved his hands repeatedly and said incoherently: "I don't want to see the emperor, but someone wants me to see the emperor. I am entrusted by others, and it is none of my business.
.He...he has a letter for the villain to submit to the emperor."
The guard frowned and said, "Please be more careful. Who asked you to come here? What's the matter with the letter? What's the purpose?"
