Three steps, two steps, one step.
The black figure slowly stopped in front of her.
"He Jingheng."
"I am here."
His voice was slightly hoarse, and Shang Ruoyi's heart was moved when she heard it.
"He Jingheng."
"I am here."
Shang Ruoyi's lips curled up slightly, her eyes full of joy.
She put her arms around his neck and buried her head in his arms. She originally had a lot to say, but at this moment she felt that nothing was important and she just wanted time to stay at this moment.
A look of surprise flashed across He Jingheng's eyes. He stretched out his hands and held her in his arms. Smelling the familiar fragrance, even if he had thousands of words to ask, he could only forget them all.
"Why are you here?" Shang Ruoyi asked in a muffled voice: "Did you come to look for me on purpose?"
He Jingheng tightened his arms around her slightly, as if to punish her on purpose: "If I come again, I'm afraid that even the threshold of the City Prince's Mansion will be blocked by marriage proposals."
He really listened.
Shang Ruoyi didn't raise her head and continued, "That was Concubine Xiao who said 놅, 놊 is me who said 놅."
"What you said is even more excessive than this." He Jingheng sighed, but whatever she said was not important. At this moment, she was still in his arms, which was the most important thing.
"Does the Emperor know that you left Tianshun?"
He Jingheng gritted his teeth when he heard this: "You are still thinking about other men in my arms?" He buried Shang Ruoyi in his chest and raised her head. He originally wanted to tease her again, but when he saw her tears, what teasing? What marriage proposal? What other men? What emperor? Nothing is more important, and he can only let this woman go in his eyes.
"Why are you crying?"
Shang Ruoyi shook her head and bit her lips tightly: "Nothing."
"But what happened?" As soon as he finished speaking, the person in front of him cried even harder. He Jingheng, who had been frightened at the sight of a catastrophe, panicked for the first time and reached out to wipe the tears from her face, but soon tears welled up in his eyes again.
"Little ancestor, please stop crying, okay?" He Jingheng said anxiously, "I'm wrong, it's okay if I'm wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
Shang Ruoyi wrinkled her nose. He Jingheng didn't expect her to ask this, but he reacted very quickly and said quickly: "It's my fault for coming late and letting you suffer here."
"What else?"
besides?
He looked at Shang Ruoyi's slightly red face, knowing that she was trying to save face for him, and said with a smile: "Whatever the princess said I was wrong about, I was wrong about that too."
"You're so talkative." Shang Ruoyi pulled her hand back and looked around: "Are you here with Yunqi and the others?"
"They left before me, but arrived at the same time."
"Yunqi, help me track down Jun Luoyun and the force behind her. I think there will be results in the next two days." So she deliberately let Jun Luoyun and that senior brother leave. Yunqi was the first one to arrive in the Suzaku team. He Jingheng said that he arrived earlier: "Then where have you been all this time?"
He Jingheng looked around and whispered, "This is the place to talk."
"I think today the emperor said that he would definitely allow me to leave the palace. When you go to the palace to look for me, I think the prince's skills will be discovered."
He Jingheng scratched her nose: "You did it on purpose."
Shang Ruoyi curled her lips slightly: "Brother is injured, I guess there is no way I can fight you."
"Why? Do you feel it's a pity?" He Jingheng sighed. He was tied tightly to this woman in his life. Just a few tears made him confused.
"You leave the palace first. It will probably take a while for the Western Region Emperor to know that you have lost something. By then, the palace will be under martial law, and it will be difficult for you to leave."
He Jingheng took her hand and said, "I'll go with you."
"My father will definitely come to take me back to the palace today. I think the Emperor of the Western Regions should not be thinking about sending troops anymore. I still miss you in the palace. You might as well go to the palace and wait for me."
How could He Jingheng understand this truth clearly? But it was so hard for them to meet, and he just wanted to stay by her side.
In the end, He Jingheng defeated her and left the palace first.
She fixed her makeup and walked quickly towards Ningshou Palace.
As soon as she arrived at Ningshou Palace, she heard the palace maids talking about it.
"I was so scared, but I was still proud that I could come out alive!" A palace maid patted her chest and said with lingering fear: "Amitabha, God bless you."
"Tell us in detail." The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs urged, "Why are you still worshipping Buddha at this time? Tell us quickly!"
"I also know what happened. The Empress Dowager ordered me to bring some ginseng soup to the emperor. When I was about to hand it over, a little eunuch whispered something in the emperor's ear. The emperor immediately stood up, and I knocked over the bowl of soup. Fortunately, it didn't splash on the emperor's body. The emperor saw that I was a maid in Ningshou Palace and someone close to the Empress Dowager, so he let me go." She stroked her chest: "If that were the case, I'm afraid my head would have to move."
After hearing this, everyone continued to ask, "What did the eunuch say to the emperor that could make him lose his composure like this?"
"How should I know?" the maid said hurriedly, "I'm almost scared to death, how can I have the mood to eavesdrop?"
When Shang Ruoyi heard these words, her heart became as clear as a mirror.
It must be that the private treasury was stolen, or the national treasury was stolen and the matter was discovered.
She was right, that was exactly it.
Today, the Minister of Revenue checked the treasury silver according to routine, and found that all the boxes in the treasury were empty. There were only empty boxes and empty shelves upstairs and downstairs, and not a tael of silver was left.
When he first entered, he thought he was dreaming or had walked into the wrong warehouse.
He rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not seeing things, then sat down on the ground.
"Where's the treasury?" He stumbled toward the door and grabbed a treasury worker. "Where's the treasury? Where's the treasury?"
The treasurer was frightened by his appearance and hurriedly said, "Hey, the silver must be in the warehouse! The boys have never let their guard down!"
"Nonsense!" He grabbed Kuo's collar and took him to the door of the treasury with all the strength he could muster. He pointed at the empty room and said angrily, "Where! Where are you going? Tell me, where are all the silver and treasures in the treasury going?"
Seeing this, Kuo fell to the ground and murmured, "Maybe! Maybe!" He knelt on the ground and said, "My friend, when I put the banknotes in the warehouse last night, everything in it was still there!"
Hearing what he said, Shangshu frowned: "Last night? Silver bills? What silver bills?"
Ku told him everything that happened last night.
"Confused! Confused!"
