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, her expression was focused, and she turned 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's expression paused, and he frowned and said:
"If your princess is really found, how can I explain this to the civil and military officials and the common people if I don't depose her?"
"Your Highness believes in you, Princess."
Xiao Changheng clenched something in his palm and closed his eyes:
"If she is truly inside, I will voluntarily surrender my military command and be confined to the imperial gardens outside the capital with the princess. I will not leave without an imperial decree!"
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, strands of golden light spread out along the formation patterns on the ground, and the entire formation gradually lit up.
downstairs.
Xiao Changheng's words made everyone present, from the emperor to the ministers, gasp.
No one understood what the Regent meant by handing over the military order.
The military command 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 Beijing and not leave without the emperor's order!
This is almost equivalent to completely withdrawing from the court.
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 unwavering expression, and suddenly a surge of anger surged in his heart.
It was obvious that handing over the military command and being under house arrest would be of great benefit 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 followed suit and said:
"Your Majesty, your brother's idea is reasonable. Since he 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, my royal brother, 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 gravely 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 bewilderment also appeared in the eyes of the ministers and others. Everyone looked up at the sign outside the gate...
Huh? Why are the words on that sign blurry? Hey, hey? Why did the words disappear and become blank?
What on earth is this attic?
wrong……
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, three large characters slowly appeared on the signboard.
Destiny Pavilion!
From the emperor to the ministers to the 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, there was not even a piece of empty space 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 just as the attic disappeared, the space of the entire street froze for a moment.
When the stagnation was lifted, 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.
Uncle Chen was only thinking about revenge. Seeing that the emperor was hesitant to ask Commander Yan to search the building, he said anxiously:
"Your Majesty, please order a search and I will see to it that justice is served!"
The emperor frowned and said coldly:
"I just felt something was wrong. You keep 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 and pointed to the side. "Isn't that..."
He couldn't continue his sentence and stared at the restaurant, completely confused.
"This... there's clearly..."
What? What am I talking about? I've walked this street thousands of times, isn't it always 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 Princess Regent had entered a brothel, but we haven't noticed for all this time that there is no brothel here at all."
"Yes, and Chen Meng, you swore that the princess had entered the brothel, so tell me, where is the princess?"
"We all trust Chen Jieshizhong's character, so we came with you to the emperor to impeach the princess. You need to give us an explanation for this!"
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 the uncle's servant who said it, and there are so many people on the street who witnessed it. If you don't believe me, just ask these people!"
The people who had been held at the periphery by the imperial guards suddenly burst into laughter:
"We haven't seen any Regent Princess. It's always been the uncle who sent people there to beat the gongs and shout that the princess has entered the brothel!"
"That's right, we're waiting here just because of what these people are saying, hoping to catch a glimpse of the princess from afar, but we still haven't seen her!"
"That's strange. There's only one brothel on this street, Wanhualou, at the corner. If you say that to your princess, why don't you go 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 place?
Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea and said to the emperor:
"Yes, I made a mistake in the location. The Princess Regent...she must be at 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?
At most, he would have to apologize to the Regent and receive a minor punishment.
As for revenge... there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so they get away with it this time, humph!
While he was calculating quickly, he exchanged glances with the Queen, who immediately understood and said:
"Your Majesty, it seems we have mistaken 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.
"Huh? What happened? Why are even the Imperial Guards dispatched?"
Uncle Chen turned his head and took a deep breath:
"Regent Princess???"
How did she get out from here!
