Shao Lecheng stayed too long and searched too many rooms. Before he found any clues, he was discovered by the guards of Tai Mansion. After someone exclaimed that there was an assassin, many people were awakened.
Afterwards, the Tai Mansion, which was originally dimly visible, gradually became brightly lit.
Shao Lecheng was quite familiar with the terrain of the capital, so he ran for a while and finally got rid of the man.
Although Tai Mansion is not very big, it is too risky and time-consuming for him to search every room by himself. He should give up this stupid method.
The guards of Tai Mansion lost track of Shao Lecheng, so they went back to report, strengthened the security in the mansion, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
But they didn't know that when the sky was about to brighten, a scream was heard: "Miss, Miss has been kidnapped!"
Hearing the maid's cries, the guards and the people in the mansion rushed to Tai Banxue's room.
Tai Banxue's bed was a little messy, and she was no longer in the room, having been abducted by the window.
Tai Banxue's family members spoke anxiously, "There was an assassin causing trouble in the first half of the night, and not long after, Banxue disappeared. Was this a deliberate attempt to draw the troops away so they could attack Banxue?"
"Who could this person be? Banxue never leaves the house and has never offended anyone..."
After Tai Banxue was knocked unconscious, he was carried away from the Tai Mansion. Then the black shadow flew into the Prince's Mansion, threw the person to the ground, and poured a cup of tea on him.
Tai Banxue, who was in a coma, woke up suddenly. Seeing that it was a masked man, she was obviously frightened.
"Ah——" she screamed, got up and wanted to run out the door.
Shao Lecheng's voice rang out behind her: "If you want your legs broken, just take another step forward."
Sure enough, Tai Banxue paused and turned to look at Shao Lecheng. Shao Lecheng sat on a chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
And all around, the houses are elegantly decorated, and nothing looks cheap. Where is this?
"Sir, I have never done anything that would harm the world. I wonder why you kidnapped me?"
She was wearing a plain inner garment, and her expression was slightly uneasy. She clenched her fists and looked at Shao Lecheng nervously.
She quietly stepped back, thinking of stealing the pruning shears from the flowerpot behind her.
Although Shao Lecheng didn't look at her, he had already seen through her motives. He chuckled with a hint of disdain.
"Don't worry, I have no interest in you."
Tai Banxue was stunned by his self-proclaimed identity, and then saw Shao Lecheng pulling off the black veil. Tai Banxue looked at him in surprise.
Shao Lecheng curled his lips and stood up: "You will be my concubine, but my wife is missing. I suspect that it is a trick of your Tai family to make you powerful!"
Tai Banxue's face turned pale instantly, and she quickly knelt on the ground: "Unjust!"
Shao Lecheng looked at her with disdain: "This prince hasn't even married you yet, and you've already made my wife disappear. If my princess doesn't show up, you, Tai Banxue, will be a missing person forever!"
Tai Banxue opened her mouth to say something, but Shao Lecheng had already walked out.
Halfway through the walk, he warned again: "Stay still, don't try to do anything, or you'll die a miserable death!"
Afterwards, Shao Lecheng changed into court robes and hurried to court.
Jing Yuchen stood in the main hall and suggested to Miao Qinghua, "The plague has been completely eradicated, and the city has regained its prosperity. It's all thanks to God's blessing. Queen Mother, since God is blessing us, why don't we choose an auspicious day and establish a festival to commemorate the God of Plague Exorcism?"
"Compose that plague prescription into a song and spread it widely. From now on, every citizen of Xianchang will remember the grace of heaven. No matter how many plagues there are, they will not be able to shake the foundation of Xianchang!"
It was really surprising that Jing Yuchen made such a request. Naturally, some people agreed and some opposed.
Miao Qinghua finally had no choice but to respond, "This is a serious matter, and I can't make a decision directly. I need to ask the Imperial Observatory to carefully calculate it to see whether it is favorable or unfavorable."
As she spoke, she stood up, and immediately a eunuch spoke in a treacherous voice: "Dismiss the court—"
After the court was dismissed, Shao Lecheng took the initiative to ask to see Miao Qinghua.
Inside the palace, Shao Lecheng knelt on the ground. Miao Qinghua quickly said, "Prince, please get up quickly."
Shao Lecheng knelt on the ground, unwilling to stand up. He spoke in a somewhat tangled and depressed tone, "Empress Dowager, your humble servant has heard a lot of rumors among the people."
Miao Qinghua became interested. Logically, Shao Lecheng should have been anxious to leave the palace to find Duan Gouqiong, but he came here instead. She knew something must have happened.
"Tell me, what's the rumor?"
"I haven't even married the daughter of the Tai family yet, but Gou Qiong has disappeared. I think there's a conflict between the daughter of the Tai family and Gou Qiong. Queen Mother, please ask the Imperial Observatory to carefully calculate whether it's really difficult for them to get along. If so, this marriage..."
Miao Qinghua chuckled and understood: "Okay, I agree."
Shao Lecheng left the palace, and soon the Imperial Observatory also arrived at the prince's mansion.
Shao Lecheng took the initiative to come out to greet him. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory looked quite immortal, with white beard, eyebrows, and hair. He just held a whisk in his hand and shook it, looking very Taoist.
"Please come into the mansion and take a look at the Feng Shui inside, and measure other things. What do you think?"
"Prince, I am the director of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, but I only observe the celestial phenomena and calculate the solar terms to formulate the calendar of our dynasty. I am not like those fortune-tellers in the market. However, according to the celestial phenomena, the prince's taking a concubine will not affect the fate of the country!"
