Chapter 932 Oh no!
Mei Guangtao went to the palace to ask to see the emperor, but was told that the emperor was not in the palace.
He could only return empty-handed.
After returning to the Jingzhao Prefecture government office, he informed the imperial concubine of the matter.
After Xiao Xixi heard this, her expression changed immediately: "Oh no!"
Mei Guangtao was puzzled: "Why?"
"There's no time to explain, we have to go find the emperor immediately!" Xiao Xixi threw back the quilt and tried to get out of bed, but because her hands and feet were weak, she fell to the ground!
Fortunately, Wen Jiucheng had been taking care of her by her side. Seeing this, he reached out and supported her in time, thus preventing her from having a close contact with the ground.
Wen Jiucheng picked her up and put her back on the bed.
Seeing that she was about to get up, Wen Jiucheng pushed her back with a gentle yet strong force and said in a deep voice.
"Don't move."
Xiao Xixi said anxiously: "The emperor may be in danger, we have to find him as soon as possible!"
Mei Guangtao became more confused when he heard this and asked hurriedly.
"How could the Emperor be in danger?"
Xiao Xixi spoke at the fastest speed.
"The Emperor's visit to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to visit the Grand Empress Dowager was actually a plot set up by someone.
Someone had already set a trap in the Imperial Ancestral Temple in an attempt to target the Emperor.
But the emperor already knew about this and had made preparations in advance, so those rebels would surely not succeed.
I happened to be kidnapped at this time, near the Taimiao. The time and place were too coincidental.
This shows that the group of rebels had already made a second-hand preparation.
If they can't ambush the Emperor, they'll attack me.
However, even this second-hand preparation failed because someone rescued me along the way.
But the emperor doesn't know about this yet.
He only knew that I was kidnapped.
If the traitor tells the emperor at this time that I am in their hands, I will make a deal with the emperor.
Do you think the Emperor will agree?"
Mei Guangtao was shocked.
Considering how much the emperor cares about the imperial concubine, even if he would not agree to the conditions outright, he would at least go and see in person whether the imperial concubine is safe and sound?
The emperor happened to leave the palace at this time, which most likely means that he went to meet the group of rebels who kidnapped the imperial concubine.
If it were any other time, given the emperor's cautious nature, he would definitely make all the necessary preparations before going to the appointment.
However, now that the life of the imperial concubine is at stake, the emperor is worried and confused. He may rush to meet the traitor without taking any time to prepare because he is afraid that the imperial concubine will be harmed by the traitor.
He was just delivering food to the enemy's doorstep and jumping into a trap set by the enemy.
Xiao Xixi was extremely anxious. She grabbed Wen Jiucheng's sleeve and pleaded urgently.
"That group of traitors will surely be lying in ambush in advance, waiting for the emperor to show up and then attack him. We must rescue him, and we must do it quickly!"
Wen Jiucheng comforted him, "Calm down, just leave the rescue to us."
Mei Guangtao knew that this matter concerned the safety of the emperor and was of great importance, so he could not stay out of it.
But now there is a big problem in front of us -
He said with a bitter face: "We don't know where the emperor has gone. We can't find the place to save him even if we want to."
Xiao Xixi: "I have a way."
Wen Jiucheng immediately knew what she was thinking and frowned to dissuade her: "You are injured internally and are already in a weak state. You can't tell fortunes anymore!"
There was a hint of severity in his tone.
The emperor's safety concerns the entire Dasheng Dynasty and is of vital importance to court officials and the people.
However, to him personally, his junior sister's health was far more important than the emperor.
Xiao Xixi wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Wen Jiucheng.
"I know you care about the emperor's safety. Don't worry, we will do our best to save him. The only thing you need to do now is to rest and recuperate, and don't take risks with your body again."
Wen Jiucheng usually looks gentle, but once his bottom line is touched, he will become extremely stubborn.
In fact, it's not just him, everyone in the Xuanmen is like this.
They can play and fight on weekdays, and make jokes about Xuanmen and the master at will. It seems that they don’t care about Xuanmen at all, but in fact, they value each other very much.
Wen Jiucheng looked into Xixi's eyes and spoke word by word.
"If you don't want to delay the rescue, don't think about it anymore."
Xiao Xixi could only shut up and nod obediently to show that she would be obedient.
Wen Jiucheng then relaxed his expression and touched her head.
"Give me the emperor's date of birth."
Xiao Xixi didn't hesitate and immediately told him Luo Qinghan's birth date and took off the kitten seal from around her neck.
This is a kitten seal carved from the finest white jade. It is only the size of a thumb and very exquisite.
She handed over the seal: "This is carved by the emperor himself. Take it. Maybe it can be useful to you."
Wen Jiucheng took the seal and took a look at it. He could tell from the carving that a lot of effort had been put into it. It seemed that the emperor was quite nice to his junior sister.
"Well, we will find the emperor as soon as possible, you can rest assured."
Wen Jiucheng and Mei Guangtao walked out together.
Mei Guangtao went to dispatch personnel, while Wen Jiucheng called Pei Qianhuo and Chu Jian, and the three brothers gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
They decided to figure out the emperor's whereabouts first.
Xuanjizi treats every disciple equally. As long as he knows something, he will teach it to his disciples. However, how much they can learn depends entirely on their personal aptitude.
Among the five disciples, Xiao Xixi is undoubtedly the one with the best qualifications.
Because she was born with the third eye, she can see other people's fortune at a glance.
This talent can also play a bonus role in making talisman paper, changing feng shui, fortune-telling, etc.
The qualifications of the other four disciples were naturally not bad either, and were considered superior among ordinary people.
At this time they got together and began to calculate using the emperor's birth date and the seal carved by the emperor himself.
Unlike Xiao Xixi, who can calculate the result in her mind.
They must strictly follow the divination procedures taught by their master. Not only do they have to burn incense and bathe, but they also have to prepare an eight-diagram compass and three copper coins, as well as various small tools to assist in divination.
The divination results came out very quickly.
The needle on the compass points to Xun, which represents the southeast direction.
The southeast is the main dragon position.
It was obvious that the emperor went to the southeast.
After getting the direction, use three coins to cast a hexagram through the six-line method to calculate the specific distance.
The final hexagram showed that it was three miles away.
Pei Qianhuo put away the copper coin and said, "Southeast, about three miles away, we can set off now."
Mei Guangtao was already fully prepared, and he had summoned almost all the soldiers in Jingzhao Prefecture.
Pei Qianhuo and Wen Jiucheng followed them, and Chu Jian was left alone.
Although Chu Jian was very unwilling to be abandoned, he also knew that his senior sister had suffered serious internal injuries and was unable to protect herself. Someone must be by her side at all times to prevent those bad guys from harming her again.
Even though they are now in Jingzhao Prefecture, it does not mean that it is safe here.
It is best to be careful in everything.
