It's early spring in a blink of an eye. The tender green grass emerges from the ground and the leaf buds on the trees stretch out inadvertently, telling people that spring is coming.
The East Palace within the walls of the Yangli Palace seems to be still in the harsh winter.
The entire East Palace exudes a strange atmosphere, and the air is filled with a depressing feeling, making people feel suffocated.
Outside the door of Prince Qi Qinsheng's bedroom, in addition to the guards, the eunuchs and maids were all trembling, listening to the crisp sounds coming from inside.
In the hall, Qi Qinsheng looked gloomily at the three maids kneeling side by side not far away. They were dancing their hands in a uniform manner. They were not dancing, but slapping themselves from left to right.
His cheeks were swollen, and scarlet bloodshot streaks were flowing from the corners of his mouth.
But there was no fear or tears on their faces, and their eyes were dull, as if they were not being beaten.
"Boring, get out." Seeing this, Qi Qinsheng's irritable heart did not calm down at all, and he yelled irritably.
However, the three maids seemed not to hear and continued to repeat their actions.
When the eunuch on the side saw it, he quickly motioned to his companions to come forward and drag the maid out.
There was no sound of slapping in the hall, and it became even quieter. The chill radiating from Qi Qinsheng's body became stronger and stronger. Just looking at him made people feel like they were frozen.
Qi Qisheng really didn't expect that the daughter of the Wei family would not care about her parents' life or death.
Is she sure that he won't really kill her parents?
Or does she really not care about her parents' life or death?
If she was really such a woman, she would be really powerful. He suddenly became curious about her and wanted to see her.
He had met this woman Wei when he was young, and his feeling at the time was that although she was considered a beauty, she was just like that.
As the crown prince of the Yangli Kingdom, the most important thing he lacks is beauties. Even the maids around him have been screened through layers of screenings, and all of them are as beautiful as flowers.
When he was a child, every palace banquet, the ministers’ female relatives would bring their own girls with them when they entered the palace. His mother-in-law told him to tell her whichever one he liked, and he could stay in the palace at that time, and let his nanny teach him carefully before sending him away.
Come to him.
Therefore, he was used to seeing beauties, and he had no special feelings for the eldest lady of the Wei family, which was just a medicine that could detoxify him and make him breathless.
In fact, according to his wishes, there was no need to give her a title, but her father said that was inappropriate, and there was no shortage of her sleeping quarters in the palace.
Unexpectedly, she ran away when it was time for her to enter the palace!
He thought that a little girl who was pampered and raised in a boudoir could run as far and as far as she wanted. He had thought of dozens of ways to punish her, but it was useless. The eldest daughter of the Wei family, who grew up in a boudoir,
It actually disappeared without a trace.
I thought that the most likely possibility was that I would be caught by someone else and sold to Goulan. However, the Wei family and his people had inspected all the places doing that kind of business in the entire Yangli Kingdom over the years.
did not find.
We even checked the maids and concubines purchased by wealthy families.
Think about how much manpower was allocated to investigate this little girl from the Wei family in those years! Not to mention how much it cost, the key point is that in the end, no one was even found, and it was all in vain.
Some people have also asked whether the person may have died somewhere in an accident.
Thinking of the pain caused by the poison, he reluctantly continued to arrange for people to find her.
Now that he knew her whereabouts, he had nothing to do with her, not even threatening her parents. This feeling was really hard for him to accept, and he was very unhappy, even more unhappy than when he first heard the news that she had run away.
Qi Wensheng suddenly stood up and walked out, and the waiter quickly followed him.
Because of the incident involving Wei's daughter, the prince has been in a bad mood in recent days, so he has not gone to court.
His Majesty ordered someone to tell him to pay attention to the prince's movements, especially regarding the Wei family.
Now that the prince was walking in the direction of the imperial study, the tense heart of the chamberlain relaxed a little. He was a slave of the Lord of the East Palace, but the East Palace was part of the palace, and the one on the dragon throne in the palace
The position is the highest ruler.
When people outside the royal study saw the prince, they hurried forward to greet him. They carefully made the prince's favorite tea and placed his favorite snacks on it.
About half an hour later, the emperor came over.
Because the idea given last time had no effect at all. The emperor was actually more angry than the prince.
"My son, I have met my father." Qi Qisheng stood up to greet his father.
Qi Yan hummed as he walked to his dragon bed.
After sitting down, he glanced at the father-in-law who was close to him. The father-in-law immediately understood and walked out with the others.
"Tell me, what are your plans?" Qi Yan asked in a deep voice.
"Back to my father, I plan to take someone to go there in person." Qi Qinsheng responded. After listening to his father's questions, he had a rough idea.
When he heard that his son wanted to go in person, Qi Yan frowned: "You have a special status, and the journey is long and does not take only three or two days. What kind of dangers and variables will there be in it? Do you want to go in person?"
"Father, I have thought very clearly that in the past two years, the intervals between poisonous attacks in my body have become shorter and shorter, so I must go on this trip no matter what.
Erchen has already thought about it. It would be best if he can bring her back. If he can't bring her back, it's fine if he can get her blood.
Although he was not sure if the blood would be effective when taken during the poisonous period, Erchen still wanted to give it a try. Furthermore, Erchen was worried that if the woman could not be dealt with this time, the Wei family might have another woman with such blood in the future.
, What if she also imitates the same?" Qi Qinsheng said.
When Qi Yan heard this, he felt that what his son said was reasonable.
"Okay, then it will be safer if you bring more people." Qi Yan was silent for a moment and then responded.
"I will leave early tomorrow morning. Please leave." Qi Qinsheng didn't say anything else, turned around and left.
Seeing his son disappear outside the door, Qi Yan sighed and leaned back.
It's not that he believes in his son's abilities, or that he's reassured, but that he understands his son's temperament too well.
Even if he didn't agree with him taking this trip, it was useless. His son was not reckless and he knew what he wanted.
The reason why he took the risk and took this trip was just because he wanted to live, because only by living can he have everything.
After Qi Qisheng left the Imperial Study Room, he did not return to his East Palace. Instead, he left the palace and went to the Wei family.
"What? Your Highness wants to take us two to Mingli Kingdom?" Upon hearing the prince's intention, Wei Qingshu blurted out in disbelief.
When Qi Wensheng saw Wei Qingshu's reaction, a look of sarcasm immediately appeared on his face. How could such a timid man give birth to such a bold daughter...
