Vol 5 Chapter 24: The emperor is "missing"

Dayi, the palace.
The sky is dark and the night is all four.
The lights are bright and bright, like a room full of gold, spilling out from the vermilion window lattice clusters, illuminating the nine-layer corridor and the carved beams and paintings are as bright as day.
"Mischief—"
An angry roar rushed out of the windows of the Qinming Hall, and the crisp sound was shocking in the quiet cold night, which was even more obvious.
In the middle of the main hall, Princess Xiao opened a pair of thick eyes, and uttered an imposing majesty at the squatting young eunuch. The luxurious and beautiful palace outfits all over her body were shining brightly under the bright lights.
The turbid eyes burned with anger were quenched with hatred, looked at the dragon robe that the was wearing, and then slipped silently over the disguised mask on the embroidered blanket.
The woman clenched her fists, her figure trembling, and the golden tassels on her head with pure gold dots and green pearls and phoenix hairpin swayed incessantly, making a lingering sound.
Concubine Hui Shi Yuanqing stood beside Princess Xiao, picking the Xuan Zi Luo Pa on her fingertips and dipping her eyes from time to time. Her nose was wet and red, and she seemed to be full of sadness and grievance.
At this time, Princess Xiao narrowed her sullen eyes, bent her lower body slightly, and continued to question the harshly:
"The Ai's family is the emperor's biological mother. The emperor is not in the palace. The Ai's family only asks for you, the servants who are close to you. Well, since you don't know, what use does the Ai's want? All the families are pulled down and chopped off!"
The angry and crazy woman waved her sleeves, and immediately a group of forbidden troops rushed into the hall.
In the past month, the emperor Hua Nanxin has been busy with political affairs. He spent days and nights in the Palace of the Ming Dynasty. The courtesy room was empty for several days, and the harem was not favored.
Concubine Hui was used to being favored, but she was suddenly left out and didn't feel anything at first.
She only said that the emperor was diligent and caring for the people.
After that, she often cooked soup tonic by herself and delivered it to the emperor.
After a lot of cold questions, she always felt that the emperor did not say anything to her, and his behavior was a bit strange.
In a blink of an eye, time flies, and the days are nearly thirty months old.
In January, the emperor actually stepped into the harem.
Concubine Hui couldn't help feeling anxious, worried that the emperor's dragon body would be unsafe, so she took the opportunity to ask for peace in the Ci Ning Palace and explained the matter to Princess Xiao.
Knowing the son is no better than the mother, Princess Xiao realized something and immediately led her daughter-in-law into the Palace of Qinming.
Only then did they know that the "emperor" who had been going up and down this month and reviewing memorials to handle government affairs was actually a disguise of a certain eunuch.
The real Huananxin left the palace secretly as early as January.
"The Toffee is forgiving, the ancestors are forgiving—"
Seeing a dozen or so Xuanfu imperial soldiers in armor approaching, the with the dragon robes and the seven or eight servants in the hall, Gong E immediately wailed, kowtow and prayed for as strong as garlic.
"Oh, just say it, where did the emperor go!"
Concubine Hui shook her teary veil and asked the anxiously.
The eunuch's face clings to the embroidered blanket, and the hot sweat and tears on his face wet a large spot on the blanket.
He replied tremblingly:
"Back... back to our ancestors, Long live Lord... Long live Lord came out of Beijing secretly in Dongchang Yuedugong's casual clothes."
"what--"
Mrs. Xiao panicked instantly, her hand covering her heart.
"Quickly, what does the emperor do when he goes out of Beijing in casual clothes?!"
At this moment, Mrs. Xiao couldn't care about the rules of the palace anymore. She squatted down and grabbed the eunuch's jacket hurriedly. When she asked, two bloodstained eyes flashed with panic.
In fact, there is no need for the to answer in person, the woman already has the answer in her heart.
The tucked his neck into the dragon robe and choked and said:
"Going back and going back to the ancestors, Long Live Lord was escorted to Xiyi by Lord Yue himself, and said yes... said he was picking up Yungui men back to the palace."
"what?"
No longer let Xiao Miaoying speak first this time, Hui Guifei Shi Yuanqing was obviously fidgeting.
Ropa covered her mouth, and she stared at the painful expression of the eunuch, her stagnant expression turned into extreme shock.
Princess Xiao slowly let go, her breath hurriedly and she stood up quietly, her eyes staring blankly.
After a while, she raised her hand and ordered the several imperial soldiers:
"Go, drag down the minions in the corner, and beat them to death with sticks! A new group of new people come and wait on them."
"Toffee forgive her--"
"My ancestors are forgiving..."
The imperial army looked insensitive and rushed forward, dragging the impervious palace people out of the hall.
Princess Xiao turned her face, her bright red lips slanted, and a vicious smile evoked.
The voice is as soft as the wind, floating slowly all the way up:
"You are the only one left at the moment, what should I do, you know?"
The was trembling, his arms tightened, and he kept shaking on his sides:
"Return to Toffee... Minion, Minion knows..."
"Ok."
Mrs. Xiao snorted lazily, her eyebrows and her eyes faded to normal, and she looked at the in a gentle voice:
"Okay, pretend to be like it. When the emperor comes back, the Ai family will reward you. If there is a slight gap, the Ai family will punish your nine races."
The was shocked and stammered again:
"Minion, minion...thank you!"
...
Shi Yuanqing followed Princess Xiao's guard of honor to the Ming Palace.
I secretly speculate:
Yun Gui, is that woman named "Yun Xi"...
Is she the woman that the emperor will never forget?
Want to come to the Queen’s Palace with three thousand beauties, what kind of peerless beauties, such as beautiful flowers, have never seen or spoiled them?
Now, for her, Yujia personally chases to a foreign country?
Although Shi Yuanqing’s time in the palace was not long, she had heard some rumours that it was the little masters who were chosen by the emperor to keep their cards. It seems that there is always one Women are connected...
If the hadn't said it personally, I'm afraid Shi Yuanqing hasn't got a clue yet.
The originally calm heart instantly stirred up stormy waves, and thousands of layers of pressure hit her head, instantly disintegrating all her self-esteem and pride, and throwing her into the bottomless icy abyss. There is a day of turning over.
She is just a fragile woman with no power to restrain the chicken. She has been educated by "Female Precepts" and "Female Training" since childhood.
After entering the palace, she was even more cautious in her words and deeds, trying to please the concubine and serving the emperor with all her heart.
She has fallen in love with Hua Nanxin and believes that he is her husband in this life and the heaven she depends on.
Moreover, because of being so favored by Long, she once felt at ease that she was relying on her own cultivation and charm to hold the emperor's heart firmly, and success made him inseparable from herself.
Until that day, all her fantasies, gorgeous, colorful, beautiful, and happy, were all shattered by the woman named "Yun Xi".
Only at this moment, Shi Yuanqing felt that her originally colorful world had fallen into darkness and fell into chaos.
No matter how she fumbled and worked hard, she couldn't see the light and couldn't find a way out.
There was a bitter cold wind on the face, and a biting pain on his face.
Recalling the love of the past, the young woman couldn't help feeling sad, nodding "嘤嘤" sobbing.
Princess Xiao walked in front, already upset, her face sank immediately after hearing the whimper behind her.
As soon as the pace changed, the woman stood in front of Shi Yuanqing and scolded:
"Crying, crying, you know crying!"
Shi Yuanqing's shoulders shrugged violently, and then she stopped her mourning. Two dry lips pressed tightly, trying to prevent the next mournful cry from bursting out.
Princess Xiao's eyes were contemptuous and cold, and she smashed her head and face with cruel words:
"You, you, you are the daughter of the prime minister, and you have a prominent background. You can't be born with such an appearance. You are so stupid and can't hold your own man's heart!"
"Woo...Mother concubine, the concubine knows wrong..."
I didn't read the almanac when I went out today, so I was in time for the decay of everything.
It was the rootless who told the true purpose of the emperor’s secret trip to Beijing in the presence of Princess Xiao and the people in the palace. Here again, she was in front of the people in the palace and was taken by the emperor’s mother. Reprimand in person.
Shi Yuanqing was sweating on her back, heartbroken, and there was nowhere to vent her grievances.
With her knees soft, the young woman fell softly to the ground, crying but did not dare to cry loudly, so she choked and said,
"Mother concubine, it is the fault of the concubine, it is the ignorance of the concubine, please forgive me..."
Princess Xiao's eyes were dim, resentful and distressed. After sighing up to the sky, he raised a golden silk peony embroidered with East Pearl and Phoenix Head Embroidered Shoes, and stomped twice on the cold stone brick:
"Get up for the Aijia! Hey, when you want to come, you are also a decisive and stubborn character. How can you give birth to such a useless daughter? Humph, you really let the Aijia down and waste the Aijia's treatment of you. Cultivation!"
Shi Yuanqing's ears became hotter for a while, and she felt more and more uncomfortable, just hiding her face and losing her voice.
Princess Xiao sighed softly, looked up at the cold moonlight on the cold sky, and said to herself:
"A broken flower and a lost willow can easily hook the emperor's heart. You, the noble concubine who dominates the sixth house, may not be able to maintain his status in the future..."
Shi Yuanqing was shocked and her face paled, and she pulled on the hem of the toffee's skirt, her exquisite makeup had long been washed away by Lianlian's tears:
"I beg the mother and concubine to love her daughter-in-law, but also to show the way for her daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law can't live without the emperor, nor can he lose her honorable pet"
Princess Xiao pouted and sneered, squinting her eyes and exhaling leisurely:
"What can the Aijia think? The emperor is your man. If you really care about him and your honor, you will always have a way!"
Resolutely, the woman went away with honor.
Shi Yuanqing sat under the lonely moonlight, dumbfounded. :,,
