Chapter 409: The Stunning Flower Demon in the Palace Fighting Novel (22)
There were not many people in the side hall, and Su Yu felt that this was a good time to escape.
"I want to be alone for a while." Su Yu pretended to be frightened and needed to rest and sent the two palace maids away.
The chaos in the front hall has basically subsided.
After a brief interrogation, most people were allowed to leave the palace. The wife of the Minister of Personnel patted her chest and said with fear: "I was really scared today."
The Minister of Personnel did not expect such a thing to happen, and he was also frightened. The court would probably be lively in the next few days.
The carriage passed through the streets and drove all the way into the mansion.
The maid helped the wife of the Minister of Personnel get off the carriage. Suddenly she saw something and exclaimed, "Madam, why is there a petal on your hair?"
The petals happened to be hanging on the hairpin, forming a seamless whole. If you didn't look closely from a close distance, you wouldn't be able to see them.
The maid raised her hand to pick off the petals on the head of the wife of the Minister of Personnel.
The wife of the Minister of Personnel was stunned: "I didn't notice it, maybe it was blown by the wind, throw it away."
The maid didn't think much about it and threw the petals into the grass.
A gust of wind blew by, and the surroundings became quiet. No one saw that the petals that had been thrown away were lifted up by the wind and floated outside the backyard wall.
The old servant who was guarding the gate dozed off with his eyes closed. The back door was remote and no one called him to get up, so he just dozed off until the sun went down.
He opened his eyes hazily and vaguely saw a woman in red. When he rubbed his eyes and came to his senses, he saw nothing.
"It seems that he was confused after sleeping."
The old servant stretched lazily as he went to eat, and naturally missed the opportunity to discover Su Yu.
Su Yu heaved a sigh of relief after finally escaping from the palace.
She sent the palace maids away, turned into a petal and lay on the head of an official's family member, and asked the system to cover her before leaving the palace.
The system meowed and followed Su Yu's feet in a cat-like manner: [Host, where are we going next? ]
Su Yu thought for a moment and said, "I definitely can't go back to that mountain."
When she was with Xiao Yan, she accidentally revealed the address of the mountain. There was no guarantee that he would not remember it and find her hiding place.
After completing so many tasks, Su Yu has become smarter.
"You can't stay in the capital either. The capital is the hero's territory. The farther away, the better."
I don’t know if Xiao Yan noticed that she was missing.
Xiao Yan...hasn't been discovered yet.
Arresting people, interrogating them, collecting evidence, and convicting people, we were busy until the evening before we had any free time.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xue has woken up." A eunuch came over to report.
Xiao Yan spent some time to pay attention to Xue Chuyue: "What's the situation?"
The eunuch replied, "The imperial physician has examined Madam Xue. Her wound is only deep and looks scary, but it is not a serious injury. She will recover after a period of rest."
Xiao Yan nodded and walked towards the side hall of Hanyuan Palace.
"Your Majesty." The eunuch called him, "Empress Xue begs to see Your Majesty."
Xiao Yan paused for a moment, but did not refuse: "I'll be there in a moment."
After sending the eunuch away, Xiao Yan walked to the side hall, where there were several separate small rooms for changing clothes and washing, to prevent things like alcohol staining clothes.
Su Yu's maid was standing guard outside one of the rooms. When she saw Xiao Yan, she immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty."
"Get up." Xiao Yan asked, "Where's the queen?"
The maid said, "The queen was frightened and is resting inside. She specifically ordered the servants to guard outside and not allow anyone to enter. She must have fallen asleep."
Xiao Yan nodded: "I'll go in and take a look."
The palace maids naturally did not dare to stop him and pushed the door open for him. Perhaps because he was sleeping too deeply or something, the sound of the door opening did not wake up the person on the bed.
Xiao Yan just stood at the door and took a look. The gauze bed curtains were hanging low and the quilt was pulled back. He could vaguely see that there was indeed a person lying there.
"She was indeed frightened today. Send a few more people to guard the door. When she wakes up, let the imperial physician come and take a look."
The maid bowed her head: "Yes."
After giving the instructions, Xiao Yan went to another place.
Different from the quietness at Su Yu's place, it was noisy here. Two basins of blood were brought out one after another. Fu'an felt sorry for Xue Chuyue when he saw it.
Xiao Yan walked in and raised his hand to stop everyone from bowing: "No need to be so polite."
Xue Chuyue's lips were pale, and the wound on her shoulder was bandaged by a female doctor, but the sword had stabbed too deep, almost piercing her shoulder. It was fine when she was still, but the pain made her gasp when she moved.
But even so, she still managed to get out of bed and kneel in front of Xiao Yan: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Fuan hurried over to help her up: "Madam Xue, please get up quickly. You are injured. You should not move around."
Xue Chuyue avoided the support, her lips pale: "I want to ask your majesty for something."
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes: "What's the matter?"
"I beg Your Majesty to save my sister."
Xue Chuyue kowtowed on her knees, ignoring the wound on her shoulder. Her voice trembled with pain as the wound burst open. "My stepmother wants to give my sister to the second son of Duke Shen as a concubine. I cannot bear to see my sister become a concubine. I beg Your Majesty to make the decision and give my sister a favor, allowing her to choose her own husband."
Xiao Yan thought it was nothing and said, "I agree."
Considering her contribution in saving the emperor, Xiao Yan granted her another favor: "Second Miss Xue's dowry will be paid by the royal family."
Xue Chuyue cried with joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
After seeing Xue Chuyue, Xiao Yan went back to Su Yu and gave her two instructions. First, Xue Chuyue should be promoted to Concubine Xue for her contribution in saving the emperor. Second, Su Yu should be promoted to Concubine.
"Title..." Many titles flashed through Xiao Yan's mind, but each one seemed to be missing something. Suddenly, he remembered the beautiful poppy in the Purple Palace, "Let's name her Concubine Yu."
The palace maid was still guarding outside the door.
Xiao Yan frowned, feeling something was wrong: "Not awake yet?"
The maid also felt strange, but she didn't dare to go in and disturb Su Yu. She was just wondering when she saw Xiao Yan coming back. She lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, the queen hasn't woken up yet."
Xiao Yan frowned more tightly, pushed the door open, and walked to the bed. The person on the bed didn't move at all, and didn't even turn over.
The house was unusually quiet.
So quiet... only the sound of my own breathing.
Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly. He suddenly opened the bed curtain and took a closer look. There was no one lying on the bed, only a quilt.
Xiao Yan lifted the quilt with a sullen face. The pillows were deliberately arranged in the shape of a human. He covered the pillow with the quilt and lowered the bed curtain. If he hadn't checked it himself, he would not have found anything unusual.
My heart sank.
The maid knelt on the ground in panic: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. We have been guarding outside the whole time and definitely did not see the Majesty leave."
The window was also locked from the inside, ruling out the possibility of escaping through the window.
Xiao Yan's voice was icy: "Are you going to tell me that people can disappear out of thin air?"
The two palace maids were dragged away for interrogation.
Fuan was also confused. How could a healthy person just disappear?
Xiao Yan's face was gloomy, his voice was shrouded in frost, and he slowly uttered a word: "Looking for it."
However, Fu'an and his men searched for the entire night. The palace guards and even Xiao Yan's secret guards were sent to look for her. In the huge palace, even the bird nests on the trees were checked, but Su Yu was not found.
After hearing the report, Xiao Yan's breath became even colder.
The poppy in front of the window opened its petals to greet the first ray of sunshine, but the person who gave it to her was nowhere to be found.
Xiao Yan could only order: "Keep looking."
If the palace maid yesterday did not lie, the windows in the house were indeed locked from the inside, the roof was intact, and the ground had not been dug, then where would Su Yu be?
Xiao Yan never thought that a living person would disappear out of thin air like this.
Are there really gods and monsters in this world?
Xiao Yan did not believe in ghosts and gods.
After a while, he called Fu'an and said, "Go to the Imperial Observatory and ask when the Imperial Master will return to Beijing. Ask them to hurry up. I want to see the Imperial Master within seven days at the latest."
