Chapter 368 The Groom Who Disappeared Inexplicably
Hearing the conversation between the two women, Ye Shihan walked out of the room, and Xiao Yuanyuan rushed to greet him.
"My lord, did you see Biaozi yesterday? Why didn't he come back all night?"
Ye Shihan frowned. He left early yesterday afternoon and didn't know what happened after he left, so he didn't know why Biaozi didn't come home at night. However, it was really strange that the groom didn't come home on the wedding night.
"I'll go to the palace to have a look. You guys can go look elsewhere. Have you gone to the government office?"
Xiao Yuanyuan shook her head, "No, I thought he would have to go directly to the bridal chamber to work as an errand, so I didn't go."
Ye Shihan turned to Su Muer and said:
"Madam, you accompany Yuanyuan to the government office to see if he, the head catcher, has gone on an errand. I will enter the palace now and we will meet up at the government office later."
Su Muer nodded without thinking, "Okay, let's go now."
The groom's official position was lost, and looking at the anxious Xiao Yuanyuan, Su Muer, who was sitting in the carriage, kept comforting her.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to him. Maybe he was delayed by something."
Xiao Yuanyuan's eyes were red. She must have stayed up all night. No wonder, it was supposed to be a beautiful wedding night, but this rough guy disappeared. How could this make people not anxious?
Xiao Yuanyuan sobbed and said aggrievedly:
"He is a fool. When I found him, I had to give him a good deal. Before we got married, he surrounded me and took care of me meticulously. Now that we are married, he disappeared before we even entered the bridal chamber. What did he want?
How is it?"
As she spoke, she stamped her feet and cried loudly.
Su Muer naturally understood her mood. Any bride would be very annoyed when encountering such a thing.
But her words of comfort were of no use at this moment. She couldn't see Biaozi's people, and unless she figured out what was going on, the fire in her heart might not go away.
Their carriage quickly arrived at the Shuntian Government Office in the capital. This place used to be Bai Chen's world. Now that Bai Chen was promoted to general, there was a new governor here.
After receiving the notification from the official, the new government official Mr. Bai trotted to the gate to greet him.
As soon as the person approached, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said:
"Princess, the princess's visit really makes Bai's Shuntian Mansion shine."
Su Muer didn't want to chat with him, but said directly:
"Where's Wang Biao? Has he come on an errand?"
Master Bai frowned and thought for a moment, then said doubtfully:
"Biaozi just got married to the princess yesterday, how can he come as an errand? I gave him three days' leave. What does the princess mean by this?"
not coming?
Su Muer frowned, and Xiao Yuanyuan's face became even paler.
"Take me to where he works."
Master Bai rubbed his hands in confusion and muttered in embarrassment,
"He works in the government office. Sometimes he patrols the streets, and sometimes he goes to investigate cases, so I can't take you two to find him."
"Then where do they rest? Are there sleeping quarters? Is there a temporary resting place?"
"Yes, yes, there is a courtyard in the backyard of the government office specifically for them to rest. These people like to gather there and play cards when they have nothing to do, but Biaozi cannot be there."
Su Muer didn't want to hear his explanation anymore, but said directly:
"Take us to see it."
Hearing this, Mr. Bai didn't dare to be careless. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Please come in. I will take you two with me right now."
Xiao Yuanyuan hesitated, "What are you going to do there?"
"Let's see, now we have to search all the places he might go."
Even so, Su Mu'er didn't have much confidence in her heart. She was really worried about something happening to Biaozi. How could Xiao Yuanyuan accept it?
As they walked and thought, they soon came to the backyard of the government office where the officials rested. As soon as they entered the courtyard door, they heard the shouts of the people inside.
"Lost, you lose."
"Come again, come again."
"If you lose, treat me to Tianxiang Tower."
"Yes, it's best to go to Yuhongyuan again, then..."
"Oh, okay, okay, treat me."
"Come on, let's play..."
This... was clearly Wang Biao's voice. An angry Xiao Yuanyuan suddenly stepped forward and pushed open the ajar door.
Snapped!
The door was opened, and the people inside looked at the door. They suddenly stopped for a few seconds, and then everyone was stunned.
Although most of these people did not know Xiao Yuanyuan, they all took a deep breath secretly when they saw her staring at Wang Biao with murderous eyes, and they all looked at Biaozi, looking at him with sympathetic and pitiful eyes.
Wang Biao lowered his head the moment he saw her. Xiao Yuanyuan gasped and pointed at him and asked,
"Wang Biao, what do you want? If you don't want to marry me and we make peace, why are you avoiding me? Who do you think I am, Xiao Yuanyuan? Do you treat me like a monkey?"
She cursed angrily and trembled, looking like she was in danger of falling down at any time. Seeing this, the girl beside her hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
Su Muer brought her skirt up and came into the house. Looking at the officials who were stunned in place, she uttered one word:
"roll……"
When these people heard this word, they all left quietly like mice. Only Biaozi lowered his head into his crotch, and he remained silent.
Seeing everyone walking away, Su Muer suddenly glanced at the table in front of Biaozi. She took two steps forward, overturned it with all her strength, and said bitterly:
"Wang Biao, Wang Biao, how can you be such a bear? You abandoned your bride on the wedding night, causing her to look for you all over the world, but you came here so cool, are you still a human being? You are really in vain
Everyone’s love for you is in vain. Fei Yuanyuan’s love for you.”
No matter what she said, Wang Biao kept his head lowered and refused to make a sound. When Xiao Yuanyuan saw this, her lips turned white with anger. She pointed her finger at him and roared,
"Wang Biao, let's make peace. Let's make peace now. Whoever comes, bring me a pen and ink."
Seeing that Xiao Yuanyuan was about to get angry, Su Muer hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade her.
"Don't get excited. Don't be like this before things are clear."
"What else is unclear? What he did is here. He is a bastard. It is in vain that I am sincere to him. It is in vain that I think he can bring me happiness. I want to divorce him."
"Yuanyuan, you are married by the Emperor. You cannot divorce casually. Besides, we have only been married for a day. It would not be a joke if we divorced. You should calm down first. There are many people here talking. Let's talk about everything after we get back."
Xiao Yuanyuan waved her hands angrily,
"There is nothing to say. He can ignore me on the wedding night. Such a man is not worthy of my trust for the rest of my life."
Xiao Yuanyuan was so angry, but Biaozi still lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to see anyone.
The more he behaved like this, the angrier Xiao Yuanyuan became. She suddenly raised her finger and pointed at him and roared:
"Master Bai, send someone to take him to the princess's residence."
After leaving these words, she looked at Su Muer, bit her lip and said:
"It made the princess laugh."
Su Mu'er also shook her head helplessly. This was the first time she had encountered such a thing, and she really didn't know how to deal with it.
Xiao Yuanyuan left angrily, and Biaozi was led by two officials to follow her.
He walked with his head down like an eggplant beaten by frost. Although he didn't know why he did this, Su Muer still broke into a cold sweat for him.
But after all, this was a family matter, and she had no reason to interfere too much, so she said hello to Mr. Bai and left.
As soon as her carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, she saw Da Zhou standing at the gate with two pheasants on his shoulders, looking around. She hurriedly asked Liu Ye to help her out of the car.
"Dazhou..."
Hearing her call, Dazhou turned around in a hurry. When he saw her, he immediately grinned.
"It turns out you are really not in the house. I thought they were lying to me."
"Well, I went out for a while to do something. Why did you bring two chickens here? Just keep them for the children and Uncle Hongshan. I have no shortage of food."
"I know your palace has everything, but Xiaojuan asked me to bring it with me. She said it was our wish. Originally, she wanted to come with me, but you also know that there are seniors and juniors in the family.
, I really can’t get away.”
"Understood, you go sit in the mansion for a while, I'll change some clothes, and then I'll accompany you to the medicinal herbs shop in the city."
After saying this, she took him into the palace. The gatekeepers at the door bowed and saluted hurriedly. They were secretly thankful. Fortunately, the man carrying two chickens did not hold grudges. Otherwise, if he complained to the princess, they gatekeepers would definitely
I couldn’t eat and walked around.
Dazhou was brought into the main hall. Su Muer went directly to the bedroom at the back to change clothes. Xiao Yuanyuan came in a hurry in the morning. She didn't have time to change clothes, comb her hair carefully, and even the makeup on her face was all gone.
Brought it yesterday.
Thinking of her own embarrassment, she smiled helplessly.
Liuye and several girls were busy washing and dressing her up and changing her clothes.
After preparing these, she remembered that she hadn't eaten breakfast yet and ordered someone to pass on breakfast. She wouldn't have the strength to go out without a full stomach.
Dazhou and others were sitting uneasily in the main hall. This was his first time visiting a wealthy family like Wangfu. The place was solemn and solemn, which made people feel oppressive.
After a while, sweat began to form on his forehead. Seeing that no one was around, he hurriedly raised his sleeve to wipe it.
At this moment, Su Muer walked in, accompanied by Liu Ye and several girls. At this time, she put on a bright purple dress with fine brocade, and her hair was pulled up in a style according to the style of a married woman.
A woman has a bun, and the two golden hairpins on her head were given by the emperor, so wearing it makes her look extremely noble.
Seeing her come in, Dazhou stood up hurriedly,
"Princess, shall we go?"
"There's no rush. Let's go after dinner. I left early today because I had something to do, so I didn't have time to have breakfast."
"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you."
"You can eat too."
"No, I've eaten."
Even if he had never eaten before, Dazhou did not dare to eat in the palace. How could a rough man like him adapt to the life in the palace?
After a while, a servant will come to report,
"Princess, breakfast is ready, please have a meal."
She said hello to Dazhou and went to eat. Before they could reach the place, Ye Shihan came back in a hurry.
"Madam, have you found Biaozi?"
Seeing him sweating profusely with anxiety, she smiled helplessly,
"found it."
"found it?"
Ye Shihan looked at her in surprise, "Where is he? Why was there no bridal chamber last night?"
"He was in the backyard of the government office. When we found him, he was playing cards with some officials. I don't know why there was no wedding room. In short, Xiao Yuanyuan was very angry and even wanted to make peace with him."
Hearing this, Ye Shihan suddenly frowned and muttered:
"It's broken, something is going to happen."
"What's wrong?"
"I went to the palace to find Wang Biao and the emperor found out about it. The emperor was furious. He was the one who gave me this marriage. Now Wang Biao dared to hang out with the eldest princess all night. If I talk about it, he risks deceiving the emperor."
Su Mu'er couldn't help but take a breath of cold air,
"What should I do? Why didn't I think of it?"
"Come on, let's go to the princess's mansion and try to calm down Xiao Yuanyuan's anger. Let her go to see the emperor in person and intercede for Wang Biao, otherwise it will be difficult to handle the matter when it comes to the emperor."
"Okay, Liuye, go tell Dazhou and ask him to go back first. I will notify him when I'm done."
After hastily explaining to Liu Ye, she was pulled out of the door by Ye Shihan.
Since time was tight, Ye Shihan directly pulled her onto his horse, held her whole body against his chest, and galloped through the streets of the capital to the princess's mansion.
The Princess Mansion was given by the emperor, so it was very impressive both in terms of layout and appearance. When the two of them arrived at the door, the gatekeeper came over to salute.
"Good luck to the prince, good luck to the princess."
There was no time to say more, Ye Shihan said directly:
"Hurry up and send the message, we want to see the princess."
The gatekeeper looked at him with some embarrassment,
"Princess...the princess said she won't see anyone."
"Tell the princess that the king and the princess are here, and she will meet them."
The servant looked embarrassed again and replied:
"The princess said that she was in a bad mood, and even the King of Heaven didn't see me when I came."
this……
They were simply speechless.
So Su Muer asked:
"Where is the prince-in-law? Let him come out. We have something to do with him."
"The consort was picked up by people from the palace."
What?
Ye Shihan and Su Muer were both surprised when they heard this. It seemed that they were a step too late.
Ye Shihan said hurriedly:
"We are entering the palace now."
He turned to the doorkeeper again and said:
"Go and tell the eldest princess later that the consort may be in danger and ask her to enter the palace quickly."
The stupid gatekeeper shook his head again,
"The princess said that it has nothing to do with her even if the prince-in-law dies."
Seeing that this servant had a thick head, Ye Shihan stepped forward quickly, grabbed his neck tightly, and said through gritted teeth:
"Go and report as you are told. Where does this nonsense come from? I have an urgent matter today, otherwise I will have to twist your head off."
The gatekeeper finally understood, he nodded hurriedly,
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away, I'll go right away."
As he spoke, he quickly ran into the house. Su Muer asked anxiously:
"Should we meet her?"
"It's too late. Let's go to the palace first. The emperor is already full of gratitude to Xiao Yuanyuan. He is afraid that others will hurt her. Now that Wang Biao has done such a treasonous thing on the day of the wedding, it is strange that the emperor is not angry."
"Okay, without further ado, let's get on our way. I'm sure Xiao Yuanyuan will enter the palace as soon as possible after hearing what you say."
After saying this, the two of them rode away.
Xiao Yuanyuan, who was sulking, turned pale. She never understood why Biaozi, who had always obeyed her words and loved her so much, suddenly changed. Their marriage was something he would be happy to do in his dreams. How could he do it?
How about escaping the wedding night with her?
Could it be?
Isn't he capable of doing what men and women do? Isn't he capable of it?
This isn't right either. How could he know if they haven't tried it yet? This reason doesn't make sense.
What's the reason? He suddenly realized that he doesn't like himself? This isn't right. When we got married yesterday, we clearly saw him grinning from ear to ear. If he didn't like her, how could he smile so brightly?
But why is this?
When she was frowning, the somewhat dull doorkeeper came to deliver a message, and the girl Xueer came in to announce,
"Princess, Liu Fu said that the prince and princess came to see you just now?"
oh?
She said hurriedly:
"Invite them in quickly."
Xueer said with some embarrassment:
"They have left, but Liu Fu was asked to bring a message to the princess."
gone?
She looked at her in surprise and waved her hand, "Let Liu Fu come in?"
Liu Fujin came forward and knelt down to salute.
"Meet the eldest princess."
Xiao Yuanyuan asked impatiently:
"What words did the prince and princess leave?"
Liu Fu hurriedly replied:
"They asked the eldest princess to enter the palace immediately, saying that the consort would be in danger."
Is Wang Biao in danger? How is it possible? People from the palace came to invite him. Why would the emperor embarrass her consort?
She frowned and waved her hands, "Are they anxious? Why didn't they come into the house?"
Liu Fu raised his hand confidently,
"They wanted to come in, but I didn't let them in. The eldest princess said that even if the king of heaven comes, he will not be seen, let alone the prince and princess of the human world."
this……
Xiao Yuanyuan felt like she couldn't laugh or cry. She really wanted to open his head with a hammer to see if there was water in his brain?
She waved her hands angrily, "Get out quickly, get out quickly, don't let me see you again."
The gatekeeper looked at Xue'er without knowing why. Xue'er glared at him and shouted:
"Can't you hear the eldest princess asking you to go out?"
"But...but what the prince said..."
"go out."
Xueer scolded loudly again, and the gatekeeper finally did not dare to make any more noise and retreated dejectedly.
Xiao Yuanyuan looked at Xueer angrily, pointed at Liu Fu who had walked away and asked:
"Who found this man? Does he have a pig's head?"
Xue'er hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Princess, please calm down. Liu Fu is my distant cousin. Because his family was in trouble and he had nowhere to go, I begged the housekeeper to accept him. If he doesn't do well,
This slave will send him away now."
"No need."
Xiao Yuanyuan waved her hands helplessly, "Since he is your cousin, let him continue to do it. But in the future, you can tell him to grow some brains and don't just stand there like a piece of wood. What should he say to him?"
I just memorize it by rote, and I don’t know how to do it at all. Others can stop me, but I can not see it. Then the prince and princess come in person, how can I not see it? "
Xue'er nodded hurriedly, "I know, I will tell him later."
"Well, what did he just say?"
She was so busy being angry with this stupid guy that she even forgot what Ye Shihan told her.
Xueer frowned and thought for a while, then timidly said:
"He said...he said that the prince asked the princess to enter the palace immediately, saying...that the consort was in danger."
"Hmph! It's better to be in danger. It's easier to die outside."
