Chapter 144 Concubine Hui's Great Joy and Great Sorrow
The disappearance of Shangguan Nanxing caused an uproar throughout Dongyou. Some were happy, while others were sad.
The news that the Emperor did not attend the morning court due to the disappearance of the Third Prince had already reached Concubine Hui.
Shangguan Nanfeng was also there at this time. When he came back from Shangguan Nanxing, he was severely scolded by his father, and Concubine Hui was also accused of not educating her children well.
As a prince of a country, he is so petty that he is jealous of his own brothers!
These are the exact words my father said. Shangguan Nanfeng, I still remember them to this day.
"Hahaha, mother, I'm really happy that Shangguan Nanxing is missing. I almost hope he's been killed."
Shangguan Nanfeng looked at Concubine Hui who was lying on the couch, his tone full of excitement that could not be concealed.
After hearing Shangguan Nanfeng's words, Concubine Hui suddenly opened her half-closed beautiful eyes and stared at Shangguan Nanfeng with a warning.
"Feng'er, there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Don't speak nonsense. What you should do now is not to talk nonsense to me, but to take the guards in your mansion and go find your third brother."
After Concubine Hui finished speaking, she sighed softly. Her son showed his joy too much on his face, which was really a headache for her.
The disappearance of Shangguan Nanxing was naturally a happy event for them, but if they pretended, they had to pretend to be a little sad.
"I didn't ask anyone to kill him, that's good enough. Mother, why did you ask me to bring someone to find him? I wish I could..."
Shangguan Nanfeng grumbled a few words, and it was obvious that he was dissatisfied with his mother asking him to find someone.
"Shut up, what did mother teach you? Have you forgotten again?"
When Concubine Hui saw that he was about to speak nonsense again, she quickly spoke out to stop him.
"I won't say anything." Shangguan Nanfeng saw that his mother's face was slightly angry, so he shut up tactfully.
However, instead of asking him to go find Shangguan Nanxing, it would be better for him to take advantage of Shangguan Nanxing's disappearance to deal with Su Yue himself.
After all, Shangguan Nanxing and Su Yue were too close some time ago.
If he didn't interfere, Shangguan Nanfeng felt that Su Yue was about to forget about him. After all, she was his mother and had to wait until the three-month deadline before allowing him to take action.
Concubine Hui looked at Shangguan Nanfeng. No one knows a son better than his mother. Looking at Shangguan Nanfeng's expression, she could guess most of what he was thinking, even if she couldn't.
"Feng'er, when I asked you to find the Third Prince, I didn't mean to do it for real. You have to do it for your father to see. Do you understand?
As a mother, my greatest hope is that one day I will not be able to see through what you are thinking. When that day comes, the throne will not be far away from you. ”
After Concubine Hui finished speaking, she sighed heavily and rubbed her forehead.
"I'm beside my mother, so I don't need to pretend."
Shangguan Nanfeng saw Concubine Hui's actions, and hurried to her side, gently pressing Concubine Hui's solar plexus.
"You..." When Concubine Hui saw her son's actions, she stopped blaming him.
In fact, Shangguan Nanxing’s disappearance was great news for both mother and son.
Last time, after the emperor scolded them and their son, he ordered that they were not allowed to go to the Third Prince’s Mansion again.
What a pity! Even if they didn’t take action, wouldn’t the third prince, whom the emperor had tried his best to protect, have been abducted?
Concubine Hui took the tea handed to her by the palace maid standing beside her and took a few sips with satisfaction. Now, she was just waiting for them to find Shangguan Nanxing's body.
"Feng'er, listen, go quickly, and pretend to be well behaved. Also, you may not show this kind of smile outside. You have to act more anxious than anyone else, understand?"
Concubine Hui put the tea aside, took Shangguan Nanfeng's hand, patted the back of his hand gently a few times, and gave him patient instructions.
"The emperor understands~" Shangguan Nanfeng said, then he took a few steps back, bowed, and walked out.
"Drizzle~Continuous~" Concubine Hui lay on the couch again, looking into the distance through the half-open window, humming a little tune.
Come to think of it, Shangguan Nanxing’s disappearance was really great news for her.
"Empress Hui! No...something's wrong!" Before Concubine Hui could say a few words, she heard a servant who looked like a eunuch hurriedly reporting.
"What's the big deal? Can it be bigger than the disappearance of the third prince? Eunuch Wen, please be more steady, understand?"
When Concubine Hui saw Eunuch Wen's hurried look, she frowned, with a hint of reproach in her eyes.
"Empress~" Eunuch Wen knelt on the ground, looked up at the palace maid next to Concubine Hui with an embarrassed look.
"It's okay, go ahead." Concubine Hui naturally understood what Eunuch Wen meant, so she picked up the teacup again and spoke in a gentle tone.
"My queen, it's bad. There was a bomb outside our city... After the bombing, a group of masked men rushed in. There are heavy casualties there!"
After Eunuch Wen finished speaking, he kept his head down, almost hitting the ground, and he didn't dare to raise it. He had been responsible for keeping an eye on the movements over there, and now that such a big thing had happened, he naturally could not escape the blame.
There was a "pop" sound, the sound of a teacup breaking, followed by silence, deathly silence. Eunuch Wen was so scared that sweat broke out on his forehead, and the sweat gathered together and dripped onto the ground.
One drop, two drops, three drops later.
"Tell me what kind of heavy casualties there were. Explain it clearly."
Concubine Hui lowered her voice, and it was obvious that Eunuch Wen could also hear it. Concubine Hui's suppressed anger was like a bomb ready to explode at any time, just waiting for him to start the fire.
He didn't want to light the fire, but he had to.
"I heard that last night, when everyone was at their most relaxed, there were suddenly sounds of gunpowder exploding everywhere, over there... over there in the house.
Everything collapsed, many people were crushed to death, and those who were lucky enough to survive were killed... killed... by the men in black who suddenly appeared... "
Eunuch Wen could no longer speak at this point because the pressure from above was making him feel increasingly suffocated.
"Just tell me how many of the thousand are still alive."
Concubine Hui's face was extremely ugly now, but she still had some hope. What if, what if, there were only a few hundred people left alive...
"The report from the other side is that there are less than fifty people..." Eunuch Wen gritted his teeth, thinking that a short pain is worse than a long one, and then he closed his eyes and left everything to fate.
"Asshole! Good-for-nothing! Wasn't he an elite? Wasn't he one person equal to ten ordinary soldiers? The equivalent of an army of 10,000, and he was wiped out so easily?!"
"Crash, bang," Concubine Hui stood up and threw everything around her to the ground. She was usually best at hiding her emotions, and this was the first time she looked so broken down.
Eunuch Wen didn't dare to move. One of the vases thrown by Concubine Hui hit his head. The vase didn't break, but his head was bleeding. Even in such excruciating pain, he didn't dare to move.
Although that group of elites was worth ten people at most, the geographical location there was very secluded and no accidents had occurred in all these years.
Everyone's minds had long been relaxed. Every night, there were only a few people patrolling, and even if there were, they were half-hearted.
The attackers chose the middle of the night and buried gunpowder everywhere. If it weren't for the gunpowder, those people would have no chance of defeating them.
But Eunuch Wen didn't dare to say these words. If he said them, it was guaranteed that he would lose his life.
"Last night! Last night again!" When Concubine Hui calmed down, the ground was covered with debris, dirt, broken flowers and fallen leaves.
"That place must have been exposed, so it was attacked. Pass on my order to destroy everything that belongs to me over there.
Even if it was buried due to the explosion, make sure it is burned completely!
If something comes out over there in the future and threatens me, you can forget about retiring home with your life. ”
After Concubine Hui finished speaking, she waved her hand and asked Eunuch Wen to leave and go back to work.
Since it's gone, it's not complete. She won't allow any evidence of her secret training of elite troops to come out and threaten her in the future.
Today, Concubine Hui has experienced great joy and great sorrow.
As for Su Yue, when he heard that Shangguan Nanxing was missing early in the morning, the first thing he thought of was Shura Sect.
Perhaps only the Shura Clan has the ability to take people away without anyone noticing, with so many guards around.
