Chapter 74 The Emperor is Missing
Because they will move camp and return to the capital tomorrow, and because they have been hunting for several days, everyone is tired and completely relaxed, and they all sleep more deeply than before.
In the middle of the night, everyone was suddenly awakened by a loud noise!
Xu Muhua was half asleep and was frightened and jumped up instinctively. She didn't even open her eyes and asked, "Is there an earthquake? Is there an earthquake?"
Shi Liu and Wu Er rushed in immediately.
"Miss, are you okay?"
"What's going on? I seemed to hear a loud noise just now..."
It doesn't look like an earthquake. Could it be a landslide nearby?
Thinking of this possibility, Xu Muhua became alert!
If there is a real landslide, it's no joke!
"Go and see how the Madam and the young master are doing."
Xu Jinyu didn't want to live in the same tent with Xu Muhua, so she stayed with Xu's mother. Xu Nan was the son, so naturally he lived in a tent by himself.
Soon everyone came out of the tent, and they didn't even have time to tidy themselves up. They all looked a little shaggy, and their faces were still a little frightened. The servants of each family were also asking each other what had happened.
Xu Muhua didn't think about that incident at first. After all, the news she got was just that someone wanted to make trouble during the hunt, and was going to release some beasts when everyone was hunting, such as bears and tigers.
But nothing like this happened, so Xu Muhua thought that the fifth prince had successfully checked it out. It was not
until she saw the people around Concubine Zhang secretly winking at her in the dark that she understood and a strange expression appeared on her face.
Did the Fifth Prince mess up?
No way, he is the male protagonist, how could he mess up? Shouldn't he solve this problem perfectly?
She left Shi Liu and Wu Er aside while Xu's mother was not paying attention.
This person is Concubine Zhang's most trusted personal maid. She served Concubine Zhang when she was still in the Zhang family. Later, when she followed Concubine Zhang into the palace, she has always been her most trusted and most relied-on maid.
"Miss Xu, our queen asked me to ask you if there was anything wrong with what you said to her that day, this..."
The maid lowered her voice as she spoke, "I don't know why the emperor suddenly got interested and said he wanted to go out hunting some rare animal in the middle of the night. He went out with several guards regardless of the dissuasion."
Xu Muhua's eyes widened, "You don't mean that the emperor hasn't come back yet?"
The maid nodded with a bitter face.
It's over, it's over, if something happens to the emperor, we're all done for!
But when she thought of the plot in the book, Xu Muhua calmed down again.
The fifth prince hasn't become the crown prince yet. In the book, if he becomes the crown prince, it will take several years for him to succeed to the throne. This means that the emperor will not die so soon!
Even if the plot of the book has changed because of her as a book traveler, she believes that it will not be too much, at least it will not affect the main storyline development. After all, she is just a female supporting role who died early.
The emperor is not a passerby character, so the emperor will be fine!
"Go back and tell the queen first to let her stay calm. I know what's going on with this matter. What she needs to do now is to stay calm. She and I are in the same boat."
So Concubine Zhang can rest assured.
She said so, and the maid could only listen and reply like this when she went back.
When Xu Muhua returned to Xu's mother, she found that she was missing and wanted to go look for her!
But before she could say anything, Xu Muhua spoke first, and said seriously: "Mother, someone came to Concubine Zhang's place just now, saying that she was frightened by the loud noise and wanted me to go over and keep her company."
The words that Xu's mother wanted to scold were stuck in her throat. Her mouth opened and closed, "Ah, this..."
Concubine Zhang was frightened, why did she call Muhua? Is there no one to serve her? Muhua is still a child!
"Mother, I'm going over now. You, Jinyu, and Anan should stay in the tent first and don't walk around. We don't know what happened yet. It will be safe for me to go to Concubine Zhang's place. Mother, don't worry about me. Just take care of yourself and your younger brothers and sisters."
Xu Muhua didn't give Xu's mother too much time. After speaking, he left in a hurry.
"Hey, Muhua...this kid, why didn't he even bring a maid!"
Shi Liu and Wu Er looked at each other and then looked away at the same time.
Although they didn't know what the young lady was going to do, they knew what a qualified maid should do.
Xu Muhua finally found a secluded place to hide herself first, and then called Daban and Xiaoban in a low voice.
These two little guys, together with the eldest master, have been having fun and are completely enjoying themselves! Sometimes they are nowhere to be seen for the whole day. If she was not sure that they were very smart and nothing would happen to them, she would suspect that they were taken as prey and taken back.
"Where is the emperor, have you seen the emperor?"
Xu Muhua asked.
The first thing is to confirm the safety of the big boss!
"The emperor is trapped in the mountains. Someone blew up the mountain, causing a corner of it to collapse, trapping the emperor in a cave. If he were not the emperor, he would have been crushed into a meat pie before he died."
"Where's the master?"
Just as Xu Muhua asked, the master jumped out from somewhere and said before Xu Muhua could open his mouth, "This plan to blow up the mountain is their backup plan. I wanted to inform you in time, but..."
Xu Muhua had a blank expression on his face, "But you are trapped by the wild cat and can't get away, right?"
The master didn't say anything.
Xu Muhua thought for a while and said, "Well, this matter cannot be blamed on you. We can only blame those people for being too cunning. They are so brave that they dare to blow up the mountain, and they are not afraid of killing themselves. And where did they get the explosives?"
"Hehe, they started secretly sending the explosives to the mountain more than half a year ago, and they transported a little bit each time, and accumulated over time. That's why no one found out."
More than half a year ago!
That's a lot of patience!
"Now I have to think of a way to lead others to save the emperor..."
Trapped in a cave, with the backward technology of ancient times and without excavators, the emperor would have died in the cave accidentally.
"You help me keep an eye on those bad guys, I'll think of a way to rescue the emperor first."
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
The eldest master responded quickly.
Xu Muhua looked at it suspiciously.
The eldest master felt humiliated and turned around and ran away without saying a word. If it hadn't done something, she wouldn't know how powerful it was!
