Chapter 94 Tianxiang Pavilion disappeared!
Yun Qingqing finished the last stroke.
Looking at the large formation on the ground, she nodded with satisfaction. The sword in her hand suddenly shrank and turned into a hairpin, which she inserted back into her bun.
She took out a jade bottle from the space, opened it, made a seal with one hand and silently recited the magic formula.
A drop of crimson blood slowly rose from the jade bottle and floated towards the center of the formation.
There was a faint golden glow on her fingertips, and her expression was focused, turning a deaf ear to the voices outside the window.
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Xiao Changheng's expression froze, and he immediately said loudly:
"Brother Emperor, I will never abandon the princess!"
The emperor paused, frowned and said:
"If your princess is really found, how can I explain to the civil and military officials and the common people if I don't depose her?"
"I believe in you, Princess."
Xiao Changheng clenched something in his palm and closed his eyes:
"If she is really inside, I will voluntarily hand over my military token and be confined to the imperial garden outside the capital with the princess. I will not leave without the emperor's order!"
Upstairs, Yun Qingqing paused for a moment, looked towards the window, and frowned slightly.
Then she withdrew her gaze and her expression returned to calm.
Concentrate your mind, make a hand gesture, and press down hard with your fingertips.
The drop of blood fell into the center of the formation.
In an instant, wisps of golden light spread out along the formation patterns on the ground, and the entire formation lit up little by little.
downstairs.
Xiao Changheng's words made everyone present, from the emperor to the ministers, gasp.
Everyone understood what the Regent meant by handing over the military orders.
The military token in his hand can mobilize an army of 500,000, which is 70% of Daliang's military strength!
Not only that, he would rather stay in the suburbs of the capital and not leave without the emperor's order!
This is almost equivalent to completely withdrawing from the court.
And if the emperor agreed to his condition, even if the princess was found, she would only be confined to the suburbs of the capital with him, and there would be no reason to depose her.
They couldn't believe that the powerful regent would go to such lengths to protect Yun Qingqing!
But these words did come out of his mouth.
Xiao Zirui looked at the man with a sullen face and an unmoved expression, and suddenly a surge of annoyance surged in his heart.
It was obvious that handing over the military command and being under house arrest would be very beneficial to him.
Why do I feel so uncomfortable...
However, for the Queen, the Regent's willingness to hand over the military command was a pleasant surprise.
She immediately went with the flow and said:
"Your Majesty, your brother's idea is reasonable. Since your brother has made up his mind, just agree to it."
Xiao Changheng glanced at her calmly and added in a deep voice:
"But if the princess cannot be found after the search, please severely punish all those who impeached the princess today!"
The emperor wanted to say something, but seeing how determined he was, he finally didn't say it.
He looked at Xiao Changheng solemnly for a moment, then waved his hand:
"Okay, I'll grant you that!"
"Commander Yan!"
"Your humble servant is here!" The commander of the imperial guards, Yan Ning, immediately responded and stepped forward.
"Search immediately..."
Before the emperor could utter the words "Tianxiang Pavilion", he suddenly stopped and opened his mouth but said nothing.
A strange sense of disharmony lingered in his heart, and the emperor blinked blankly.
Where did you want to search?
The same confusion also appeared in the eyes of the ministers and others. Everyone looked up at the sign outside the gate...
Hmm? Why are the words on the sign blurry? Hey, why are the words gone and turned into a blank?
Where on earth is this attic?
wrong……
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, three large characters slowly appeared on the sign.
Destiny Pavilion!
From the emperor to the ministers to the common people watching the excitement from the outside, everyone looked at each other in confusion, and no one could understand what was going on.
However, the sign of Tianming Pavilion only appeared in front of everyone for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, the attic suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace!
Not only that, after the attic disappeared, not even a piece of vacant space was left!
The restaurant on the left side of the attic and the dim sum shop on the right side were completely merged into one, as if the space of the attic had disappeared out of thin air.
And at the same time as the attic disappeared, the space of the entire street froze for a moment.
When the stagnation was resolved, everyone came back to their senses and showed a hint of confusion on their faces.
The emperor looked at the sign of "Zuixianlou" on the restaurant, then looked at the dim sum shop next to it with the sign of "Wufangzhai", and fell silent.
Chen Guojiu was only thinking about revenge. Seeing that the emperor was reluctant to ask Commander Yan to search the building, he said anxiously:
"Your Majesty, please order a search and I will do justice for you!"
The emperor frowned and said coldly:
"I just felt something was wrong. You kept saying that the Regent Princess went in and out of the brothel, but where is the brothel? What do you want me to search for?"
"Ah?" Uncle Chen was stunned, pointing to the side and said, "Isn't that..."
He couldn't continue his sentence halfway through and stared at the restaurant, completely confused.
"This... there is clearly..."
What? What am I talking about? I've walked this street thousands of times, and it's always been like this...
Chen Guojiu began to doubt his life.
The censors looked at each other, all confused:
"It was Uncle Chen who was spreading the news that the Regent Princess had entered a brothel, but we didn't notice that there was no brothel here after all this talk."
"Yes, and Chen Meng, you swore that the princess had entered the brothel, so why don't you tell me where the princess is?"
"We all believe in Chen Jishizhong's character, so we followed you to the emperor to impeach the princess. You have to give an explanation for this matter!"
Chen Meng was already dumbfounded. When he was questioned like this, his expression changed again and again. He said anxiously:
"I really didn't make this up. It was said by the uncle's servant. And there are so many people on the street who witnessed it. If you don't believe me, just ask these people!"
The common people who had been blocked by the imperial guards suddenly burst into laughter:
"We didn't see any regent princess. It was always the uncle who sent people to beat the gongs and shout that the princess had entered the brothel!"
"That's right. We are waiting here just because of what these people are saying. We want to see the princess from afar, but we haven't seen her yet!"
"That's strange. There is only one brothel on this street, Wanhualou. If you say that to your princess, why don't you go and block the entrance to Wanhualou? What are you doing blocking the entrance to a restaurant?"
Chen Guojiu was so anxious that his face turned pale, and he had no idea what the problem was.
How come I was so confused that I got the wrong location?
Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea and said to the emperor:
"Yes, I got the wrong location. The Regent Princess...she must be in the Wanhua Tower at the corner of the street! Your Majesty, please order a search of the Wanhua Tower immediately!"
He had already thought it through. Since the front and back doors of Wanhua Tower were not sealed, even if the princess could not be found later, he could say that she saw the situation was not good and quietly escaped.
Anyway, we have witnesses on our side. Even if we can't find the person, the truth is still unclear. Then the Queen Mother can mediate and make it a mess. Wouldn't it be easy to make it a mess?
The most he could do was apologize to the Regent and accept a minor punishment.
As for revenge... there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so they get the upper hand this time, humph!
While he was calculating quickly, he exchanged glances with the Queen, who immediately understood and said:
"Your Majesty, it seems that we have made a mistake in the location. We should order a search of Wanhua Tower."
However, before the emperor could nod, two people suddenly walked out of the nearby snack shop Wufangzhai, and their clear voices attracted everyone's attention.
"Eh? What happened? Why are even the imperial guards dispatched?"
Uncle Chen turned his head and took a breath:
"Regent Princess???"
How did she get out from here?
