Chapter 338 Will My Husband Be Angry?
Concubine Shu's actions were very rough, and the brown medicine flowed out from the corners of the emperor's mouth, spilling on his neck and pillow...
The emperor felt extremely humiliated. He forgot all his plans at this moment and looked at Concubine Shu with undisguised hatred in his eyes.
Bitch!
Bitch!
But soon, the emperor had no time to think about it... because the medicine given by Concubine Shu took effect and he fell asleep directly.
Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiao Ze, "Xiao Wu, don't listen to the dog emperor's nonsense."
"He doesn't know you, but mother does." Concubine Shu held Xiao Ze's hand and said, "Mother is sure that you are mother's Xiaowu."
Shufei didn't even understand why the emperor would say such inexplicable words.
If Xiaowu is not Xiaowu, who else could it be?
ill!
"Yes." Xiao Wu nodded and smiled at the concubine, "I know, mother."
Of course, he is my mother's little five.
He was just wondering, why would his father ask this for no reason?
Why do I feel that...he is not him?
If it wasn't him, who else could it be?
Xiao Wu thought of this and his eyes fell on the unconscious emperor...
…
After Xie Yao left the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, she felt somewhat complicated.
Although Li Zhong had already said that the place where "Mr. Wen" was picked up might not be where "Mr. Wen" really was, Xie Yao still decided to go and see for herself.
Because she always felt that... the location that Li Zhong reported seemed somewhat familiar.
But just as she was about to leave the palace, someone entered the palace first, "Crown Princess, Miss Xuan wants to see you."
Xuanyue?
"Please." Xie Yao said immediately.
Xuan Yue walked in quickly, his face full of anxiety. When he saw Xie Yao, he knelt down without saying a word.
Xie Yao was startled and hurried forward to help her, "Miss Xuan, if you have anything to say, please get up and say it. What happened?"
Could something have happened to the eldest princess?
Xuan Yue was helped up, her face pale, "Crown Princess, the eldest princess's condition has stabilized, and I am allowed to go home today."
"When I returned home, I found...Xuan Shu was missing!"
"I asked the servants at home and found out that she had left home quietly half a month ago. The meals sent to the mansion these days were quietly handled by her personal maid..."
Xuan Yue's face was full of self-blame.
She only realized such a big thing now. She was really not a competent eldest sister.
"I interrogated her personal maid, and she said...she said Xuanshu also went to the northern border." Xuan Yue said this with a guilty conscience, because it was too obvious...Xuanshu went there because of Zhenbei Marquis and Miss Zhao...
"I would like to ask the Crown Princess if you can send a letter to the Northern Frontier. If Xuan Shu's whereabouts are discovered... lock her up."
The Northern Territory was already in chaos, so Xuan Yue naturally couldn't just ask someone to take care of it.
I'm afraid Pei Chen and others don't have time to take care of this matter.
But she was really afraid that something might happen to Xuanshu, so she went to Xie Yao for help. She wanted to lock Xuanshu up directly to protect his safety.
"Okay." Xie Yao nodded, then looked at Xuan Yue and asked, "What do you think?"
Xuan Yue's expression seemed to say that she would not sit still and wait for death.
Xuan Yue was stunned for a moment, then said, "Crown Princess is wise. I was just about to ask the Princess for mercy and rush to the northern border myself..."
Xie Yao guessed it.
Even she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Xuan Yue had really done his best for his sister Xuan Shu.
"This journey is dangerous, you don't have to go in person." Xie Yao said: "The female generals under my aunt's command are the ones who escorted Sister Ying to the northern border this time."
"Go to your aunt and ask for a handwritten letter, and send it to the northern border together with this letter from the palace. If you can find Xuanshu, you will make sure she is safe."
Xie Yao doesn't have a good impression of Xuan Shu, but is willing to help for Xuan Yue's sake.
Xuan Yue was stunned for a moment, "But..."
"This will be faster." Xie Yao said, "By the time you personally arrive in the northern border, it will take at least half a month."
"Even if you want to teach your sister a lesson, you can wait until she returns to Beijing."
"Let's go find my aunt first. The sooner the news is delivered, the sooner we can ensure Miss Xuan's safety."
"Yes." Xuan Yue bit her lip, and finally agreed and turned to leave.
The Crown Princess is right. It is more important to deliver the message first.
Because of Xuan Yue's matter, Xie Yao was no longer in a hurry to leave the palace. She turned around and went into the Yangxin Palace, told Xiao Ji about the matter first, and then started writing the letter.
After writing a letter, Xie Yao put it away and said, "Your Highness, wait for the news from your aunt to arrive, and then send this letter to the northern border."
Xie Yao has said it twice.
Xiao Ji looked at Xie Yao with amusement and helplessness, "Yaoyao does care about Miss Xuan's affairs."
Xie Yao's eyebrows curved, and she leaned close to Xiao Ji and blinked, "Your Highness...are you jealous?"
Xiao Ji took advantage of the situation and put his arm around her waist, and hummed in a muffled voice, "Are you jealous? What should I do?"
Xie Yao stood on tiptoe and pressed a kiss on his lips, "Are you satisfied, Your Highness? I don't have any…"
Before Xie Yao could finish her words, Xiao Ji swallowed them all.
Xiao Ji bit Xie Yao's lips punitively, with helplessness in his eyes when he looked at her.
This little girl...what nonsense is she talking about?
After a long kiss, Xie Yao's lips were a little red and swollen, and her watery eyes flickered as she looked at Xiao Ji.
Xiao Ji's Adam's apple rolled and he turned his eyes away slightly.
At this moment, Xie Yao is...very tempting to him!
Xie Yao could naturally sense it, so she coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness still has a lot of government affairs to deal with, so just go ahead and do it."
"I have something to do and need to leave the palace."
She still wanted to go to the place Li Zhong mentioned in person.
"Okay." Xiao Ji nodded and reluctantly pulled Xie Yao's hand, "I know the Crown Princess is a busy person..."
Xie Yao glared at Xiao Ji, then pursed her lips and turned to walk out.
Xie Yao took a carriage and arrived at the place Li Zhong mentioned. She lifted the curtain and looked outside, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
She got off the carriage, turned around a few times, and a layer of frost covered her face.
No wonder she felt this place was familiar.
The house on the corner... belongs to Xiao Ning, and the secret passage leads to...
"Go to the Song family."
Xie Yao quickly got on the carriage and gave instructions to Zhu Qing and Lin Xia.
"Yes." Zhu Qing and Lin Xia agreed.
The carriage headed towards the Song family...
Zhu Qing looked at Xie Yao's ugly expression and asked tentatively, "Crown Princess, is this place related to the Song family?"
"Just go and take a look and you'll know." Xie Yao's voice was heavy.
At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind: No wonder he is called Mr. Wen.
There were always people guarding outside the Song family's house. When they saw the Crown Princess's carriage, they hurriedly saluted.
Zhu Qing asked: "How is the Song family doing these days?"
The guard immediately said, "To reply to the young lady, this place has always been very peaceful and tranquil."
"Open the door." Zhu Qing gave an order, and the guards immediately opened the tightly closed door of the Song family.
Xie Yao didn't go to look for him in person, but just sat in the yard.
The guards hurriedly searched the Song family house, a group of people running around...
The Song family's house is not big, with only two courtyards and not many rooms, so it should be searched quickly.
But the guards searched for a long time, their steps became more and more panicked, and their speed became faster and faster...
Finally, the leading guard's legs softened and he knelt directly in front of Xie Yao, "Please forgive me, Crown Princess. Please forgive me, Crown Princess!"
Song Wenbo is missing.
really.
A flash of understanding passed through Xie Yao's mind: Mr. Wen, that is Song Wenbo.
"Useless!" Zhu Qing said angrily, "You can't even keep an eye on one person!"
The guards begged for mercy again.
Song Wenbo had disappeared, but Song Li was still there. She was called out by the guards and started cursing in a sharp voice.
"Shut up." Xie Yao's voice was slightly cold, and she raised her eyes to glance at Song Li.
Her eyes were full of oppression, and Song Li was a little scared and shut her mouth awkwardly.
Xie Yao gave Zhu Qing a look and said, "Go and take a look."
What she was talking about was naturally the secret passage in the house.
Zhu Qing responded and immediately turned around to check the situation.
Xie Yao's eyes fell on Song Li, "When did Song Wenbo run away?"
"What?" Song Li was stunned, looking at Xie Yao in shock and disbelief, "Wenbo ran away? Where did he run to? No, it's impossible..."
When she spoke the last part, Song Li's face was already full of panic and anxiety.
She even hurriedly turned around to look for someone inside the house, but was stopped by Lin Xia.
"The Crown Princess is asking you a question. When did Song Wenbo run away?"
The long sword in Lin Xia's hand shone with a cold light, and Song Li was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
Her eyes were dull and her expression was ugly. "He ran away? Really ran away? How could he run away? He...he he he why didn't he take me with him? I'm his mother!"
Mrs. Song gnashed her teeth and slapped her thighs in anger, "I raised him to this age, and he treats me like this... What a bastard, what a bastard! What a bastard!"
Seeing that Mrs. Song was about to curse again, Lin Xia said coldly, "That's enough."
"The Crown Princess is asking you a question."
Lin Shuang's sword was against Song Li's neck. The cold touch made Song Li mute instantly. Fear was all over her face. She trembled and said, "I, I don't know..."
But the next second, Song Li felt a pain in her neck.
It seemed that the sword had cut her flesh, and Song Li even felt blood flowing from her neck.
"I, I really don't know..." Song Li burst into tears. She still felt extremely wronged. "I saw him yesterday, yesterday..."
"Yesterday, last night." Mrs. Song Li thought of something and said repeatedly, "I didn't see him this morning. He must have run away last night. Wuwuwu... this bastard with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs..."
He had the chance to escape, but he didn't take her with him and ran away quietly...
Zhu Qing came out of the room where Song Wenbo lived and whispered, "Crown Princess, the passage that was sealed before is still sealed, but there is another passage next to it."
"It seems that Song Wenbo escaped from that passage."
"What? What passage? How come I don't know it?" Song Li said, and wanted to run towards Song Wenbo's house.
But he was stopped as soon as he made a move.
Xie Yao looked at the guards who were still kneeling on the ground to plead guilty, "Such a loud noise, didn't you hear anything at all?"
The Song family's house is so small, and they are guarding outside the house. Logically, they should be able to hear some noise...
The guards looked bitter and said, "Princess, please understand. Song Li always stands in the yard and curses people every morning and evening. I think the passage must have been opened when Song Li was cursing..."
Zhu Qing said: "Crown Princess, I'm afraid that passage cannot be opened by one person."
Xie Yao pursed her lips slightly, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.
Song Wenbo couldn't contact the emperor before he could leave the Song family, which meant...
Someone helped Song Wenbo leave the Song family, and only then was Song Wenbo able to contact the emperor.
Who is this person in the dark?
Xie Yao looked at Lin Xia and said, "Take your men to personally walk through the secret passage and see if there are any traces left behind."
"Be careful and be safe."
"Yes, Princess." Lin Xia responded with a fist salute and walked into the house with the guards.
Xie Yao glanced at Song Li, who had a dull expression, and said directly, "Lock him up somewhere else."
Song Li was taken away directly.
The courtyard became quiet.
Xie Yao stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go over there and wait for Lin Xia."
In the carriage.
Zhu Qing saw that Xie Yao looked unhappy, thought for a moment and said comfortingly: "Crown Princess, why do you still want to lock up Song Li?"
"Are you doubting... that Song Wenbo will come back to save her?"
After all, Song Wenbo was also raised by this widowed mother.
Xie Yao said: "I'm not sure, but we can't let her go." What if?
The carriage swayed to the place where Li Zhong had picked up "Mr. Wen". Xie Yao didn't have to wait for a while before she saw the dusty Lin Xia.
Xie Yao's eyes fell on Lin Xia's shoes, which were stained with mud.
It can be seen that Li Zhong did not lie to her about the details, and she became more certain that Mr. Wen was Song Wenbo.
"Go to the Prince's Mansion." Xie Yao ordered again.
When she arrived at the Prince's Mansion, she went straight to the courtyard where Shanshan lived to look for her, but she didn't find her.
"Where is Shanshan?" Xie Yao asked.
Shanshan rarely goes out. Every day she either deals with the poisonous insects or puts on new clothes of various styles to accompany her in the main courtyard.
But she has been too busy these past few days. She was not at the Prince's residence yesterday. She returned home early this morning and hurried into the palace...
The maid in Shanshan's courtyard immediately said, "To answer the Crown Princess, Miss Shanshan is out today."
Xie Yao frowned, feeling a little strange.
Shanshan is not a person who likes to go out very much. As long as there is something she likes, she can stay in the house all the time.
"When did she leave? Where did she go? I have something to ask her, send someone to look for her immediately." Xie Yao gave a few instructions, and the maid turned around and made arrangements immediately, "Yes, Crown Princess."
What Xie Yao wanted to ask Shan Shan was naturally about the poisonous insect.
After all, there was Shanshan's poisonous insect in Song Wenbo's body, whether Xie Yujiao took it away from Shanshan or Shanshan prepared it for Song Wenbo later.
Under such circumstances, how did Song Wenbo make those plans?
Xie Yao didn't doubt Shanshan, she just wanted to get some clues from Shanshan...
Xie Yao had not been waiting in the house for long when the steward of the Crown Prince's Mansion hurried in. "Crown Princess, something bad has happened. Miss Shanshan is missing!"
Xie Yao's expression changed drastically, and she stood up suddenly, "What's going on?"
The steward of the Crown Prince's Mansion hurriedly said, "Ms. Shanshan said today that she wanted to go out of the mansion to prepare some gifts for the Crown Princess. I prepared a carriage and arranged for the maids and servants to go out of the mansion with Miss Shanshan."
"The maid said that Miss Shanshan came to the cloth shop and saw some clothes that she liked, so she wanted to try them on. The maid waited outside the compartment... but after waiting for a long time, Miss Shanshan did not come out."
"Just when I was wondering what was going on, someone from the mansion arrived. The maid immediately went to call for them, but no one responded."
"When the door of the compartment was opened...the clothes that Miss Shanshan had chosen were scattered on the floor, and there was no one in the compartment."
"Now I have surrounded the cloth shop. Please give me your instructions, Princess."
The steward explained the matter clearly in a few words, but Xie Yao's expression was still very ugly.
She was just about to look for Shanshan when Shanshan disappeared...
She doesn't believe in coincidences, and thinks someone must have planned this long ago!
Xie Yao looked at Zhu Qing and said, "Ask the maids in Shanshan Courtyard one by one to see if Shanshan has done anything unusual recently. Ask them to recall it carefully and not to miss any details."
"Yes." Zhu Qing knew the seriousness of the matter and prepared to deal with it personally.
Xie Yao looked at Lin Xia again, "Lin Xia, you are more careful. Go to the cloth shop with Zhu Xin and see if you can find anything."
“Don’t miss any clues.”
Lin Xia and Zhu Xin agreed and turned to leave.
Xie Yao's eyes fell on Yuyan again, "Yuyan, go to the Dali Temple and inform them of this matter, and ask them to help find the person."
Everyone followed Xie Yao's instructions one by one.
Xie Yao was sitting in the main hall with a very serious look on her face.
Based on the time she spent with Shanshan, she could feel Shanshan's passion and sincerity, and she didn't believe that Shanshan would leave without saying goodbye for no reason.
Something must have happened...
The person who saved Song Wenbo.
Xie Yao quickly locked onto the suspect in her mind. Since this person was able to break Shanshan's poisonous insect, perhaps he also knew Shanshan's weakness...
Therefore, there is a hidden force in Beijing that controls everything in secret.
Xie Yao raised her hand and rubbed her temples.
Now she just hopes that nothing happens to Shanshan.
Shanshan doesn’t like crowds very much, so there aren’t many maids serving her. After Zhuqing asked in person, she quickly returned to Xie Yao.
"Princess, I have asked them one by one, and the two maids said that Miss Shanshan has indeed changed a little in the past few days."
"Ms. Shanshan used to always smile, but these past few days she has been sighing a lot... and..." Zhu Qing paused before saying, "Ms. Shanshan came to look for you several times these past few days, but you were not at home."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yao's expression immediately became somewhat complicated.
Shanshan came to see her... maybe it was because of her troubles, but she was not in the mansion...
Zhu Qing added: "I and the two maids personally checked Miss Shanshan's room, but found no clues."
Zhu Qing had just finished his report when Lin Xia and Zhu Xin came back.
"Princess, I have checked everything in the compartment. Everything is normal. There are no remaining drugs or signs of violence."
"But on the small window of the compartment, I found the silk thread left by the clothes that Miss Shanshan was wearing today."
"Besides the door, there is only a small window in that compartment. Even my subordinates cannot pass through that small window. Only a petite girl like Miss Shanshan can pass through..."
Xie Yao concluded, "So Shanshan took the initiative to climb out of that window."
Lin Xia did not deny it.
Xie Yao combined Zhu Qing's question and said, "So, Shanshan may have encountered something suddenly and decided to leave quietly."
Otherwise, at least he would leave a few words, whether to remind her or to lie to her.
"Lin Xia, take the same route that Shanshan took when she left the house today." After Xie Yao gave the order, she was about to go into the palace to tell Xiao Ji about this matter.
At this point, she must discuss this with Xiao Ji and must not act arbitrarily!
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
When Xie Yao arrived, the letter on the table had disappeared.
Xiao Ji noticed her look and took the initiative to say, "Princess, please know that the letter has been sent to the northern border as you ordered."
After Xiao Ji finished speaking, he noticed that Xie Yao's expression was a little solemn, so he hurried forward, held her slightly cold hand, and pulled her to sit down, "Yaoyao, what happened?"
Xie Yao was obviously busy these two days. Although Xiao Ji didn't know what she was busy with, he knew it must be important business.
But he respected Xie Yao's choice, so he didn't ask rashly.
Yaoyao would tell him naturally when she wanted to... like now. Judging from his expression at the moment... I'm afraid it's not optimistic.
Xie Yao did not keep the audience in suspense and directly told the whole story of the past two days from beginning to end.
Xiao Ji understood these ideas very quickly.
"So Yaoyao, what do you think His Majesty heard from Song Wenbo... and finally set his sights on you?"
"I..." Xie Yao was also a little uncertain, but Xiao Ji was already angry, "He is so brave!"
"I will immediately instruct the Five Cities Military Command and the Dali Temple on this matter. The capital is under martial law these days, so it will be difficult to leave the capital."
"No matter what they are planning, I am here and I won't let them succeed!"
Xiao Ji's palm was warm, and the words he spoke gave Xie Yao strength.
Xie Yao felt her heart warm. She raised her eyes and smiled at Xiao Ji, "Well, with Your Highness here, I'm not afraid of anything."
Xiao Ji bent down and kissed Xie Yao's forehead. Without wasting any more time, he directly summoned Si Nan in and gave him a series of instructions.
Although Si Nan was puzzled, seeing that His Highness's expression was so serious, he did not dare to ask more questions and immediately turned around to make arrangements.
Xiao Ji then looked at Xie Yao and said, "Yaoyao, next time something like this happens...can you allow me to know in advance?"
"You must have not had any rest since last night, right?"
Xiao Ji was not blaming Xie Yao. On the contrary, his words were full of self-blame and heartache!
While his daughter Yaoyao was worried about these things, he had no idea...
He is an unworthy husband.
Xiao Ji's meaning was so clear that Xie Yao naturally understood it. Her heart was warmed, and she reached out to hug Xiao Ji, saying in a muffled voice: "Your Highness, it's all my fault."
"nonsense."
Xiao Ji retorted to Xie Yao and hugged her tightly in his arms, "Yaoyao is the best Yaoyao in the world."
Xiao Ji’s words made Xie Yao stunned for a moment.
In the past, His Highness would not have said such straightforward but pleasant words. Perhaps it was because His Highness's health had recovered and his emotions were much more straightforward than before.
But... Xie Yao also likes such a prince.
She put her arms around Xiao Ji's waist and looked up at him, "...Your Highness, if there is something...I didn't tell you, would you be angry?"
"Say it again." Xiao Ji looked at her and said.
Xie Yao bit her lower lip lightly, not understanding what Xiao Ji meant for a moment.
Seeing this, Xiao Ji lowered his head and bit her lips lightly before reminding her, "Call me husband."
Xie Yao: "...Husband, if there is something...I didn't tell you, would you be angry?"
