Chapter 396

Although he knew it was unlikely, the emperor went to Bishui Hutong, not only to inquire about the whereabouts of Empress Dowager Zhuang, but also to remind Gu Jiao and Xiao LIULANG of their safety.

If empress dowager Zhuang is the dead enemy of Princess Jing, Gu Jiao and Xiao LIULANG, who repeatedly destroy her good deeds, are undoubtedly the thorn in her eye and flesh.

Xiao LIULANG just came back from the Imperial Academy. He never expected such a thing to happen.

Gu Jiao is drying herbs in the front yard, and her three children are playing in the back yard. The house is peaceful and peaceful.

He looked back and said to the emperor, "my aunt hasn't been here... We'll be careful."

The emperor nodded: "you must not have another accident."

Xiao LIULANG took a deep look at him: "Your Majesty, what are your plans?"

"I will find my mother," he said

This is the second time that empress dowager Zhuang has disappeared. The first time is because of him. He sent her to leprosy mountain. He lost her.

This time, he will find her himself.

He murmured and turned, his steps sinking into the night.

"What's the matter?" Gu Jiao came over.

It's very important. Xiao LIULANG didn't hide it from her: "my aunt and Princess Jing are missing. Your majesty suspects that Princess Jing has taken my aunt away."

"You just said... Who was taken?"

The sound of the old wine suddenly rang behind them.

They turned their heads and looked at him. The old sacrificial wine was carrying a bowl of brown sugar Ciba, which was newly baked with white sesame seeds.

His hands began to shake slightly, and the hot sugar spilled out.

Gu Jiao went over and held out her hand to him: "grandfather, give it to me."

"Ah?" His voice also took a shiver, "you, you haven't said who was captured?"

"It's my aunt." Gu Jiao said.

The old wine man was in a flash.

Gu Jiao holds him in one hand and catches the bowl in the other.

The bowl was very hot. Xiao LIULANG quickly took it and put it on the stone table beside him. He said to the old man, "Princess Jing won't do anything to her aunt for the time being. If she wants to kill her, she will do it in the palace. She will bring her out for some other purpose."

Gu Jiao looked at Xiao LIULANG and said, "I'll go to find my aunt. Xianggong, you and your grandfather are waiting for news at home."

Xiao LIULANG hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"I, I'll go and look for it," the old man said in a trembling voice

Xiao LIULANG didn't object. Looking at his unsteady steps, his eyes flickered slightly and said, "I'll go with the teacher."

The old man nodded in dismay: "good... Good."

Later, they also went out of the blue water Hutong.

The imperial city is sealed off. The four gates are only allowed to enter but not to leave.

On the winding path, there are two carriages, one in front of the other in the back. There are four bodyguards in front of and behind the carriages, escorting them along the way.

As the sky darkened, the last rays of the setting sun faded away, and the sky was gray and blue.

The carriage walked slowly, and the people in it seemed calm and calm.

"Hong'er must not have thought that we were out of town."

If the emperor was here, he would know that the owner of this voice was the princess Jing he was looking for.

Princess Jing changed into a folk woman's dress, wore a single bun, and wore a humble silver hairpin.

At her age, she no longer pursues beauty, but it has to be said that the people who come out of the palace are very different from the folk women.

The Empress Dowager in front of her also took off her black gilded Phoenix robe and wore poor peasant women's clothes.

But if you look closely, the beauty between her eyebrows and eyes can't be compared with that of Princess Jing.

Empress Dowager Zhuang closed her eyes and didn't respond to her.

Static too imperial concubine smile: "don't pretend to sleep, I know you didn't sleep, how can you sleep?"

"You're noisy." Empress Dowager Zhuang closed her eyes.

Static too imperial concubine definitely ground looks at her, the corner of the lip starts to put on to smile like to mock like to sneer: "Zhuang Jin se, are you really not afraid to die?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang still closed her eyes and obviously didn't want to pay attention to the noisy woman.

Princess Jing was not angry. She dropped her eyes and picked up a piece of broken silver hair on her dress. She said with a smile, "we are old now. Life is really fast. It seems that we haven't been in the palace for long. Elder sister, do you remember the first time I met you? In the Royal Garden, my elder sister was wearing the Queen's Phoenix robe and chatting with all the sisters in the pavilion. I'm not like my sister who can be a queen when she enters the palace. I'm just a little six noble person. I don't even have the qualification to greet my sister. I can only kowtow to my sister from a distance under the guidance of the palace people. My sister didn't even look at me. She just asked the palace people to reward me with a jade bracelet, which is the jade bracelet. "

She said, stretching out her left wrist and pulling up her sleeve, revealing a fine jade bracelet.

"My sister is the daughter of the dealer and the empress of Zhao state. The things she uses are excellent. Even if she pulls out a bracelet at random, it's priceless. Does my sister know what I was thinking? I wonder, how can there be such a lucky person in the world? He has a distinguished family background, a high status, a beautiful face, and an unparalleled beauty? I'm not even qualified to envy my sister. "

"But who would have expected that a person as humble as I am in the dust just came into my sister's eyes?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang said, "who was young before he was blind?"

Princess Jing chuckled: "my sister is really funny. In fact, I am grateful to my sister, and also want to be a good sister with my sister all my life, but who let my sister so scheming? On the surface, you lift me up, but on the back, you just take me as a stepping stone to climb up! "

Empress Dowager Zhuang finally slowly opened her eyes, looking a little impatient: "Princess Jing, are you blind or sad family blind?"

When did she use her as a stepping stone?

With her?

Princess Jing sneered: "my sister knows that what the emperor wants is you, but she always pushes me to serve the emperor. What I don't know is how much light I have got from my sister. But I understand that my sister is playing hard to get. The reason why Xiandi went to me was that he wanted to hear something about his sister from me. My sister is really calculating. I can't catch up with you in this way. "

Empress Dowager Zhuang is too lazy to make trouble with her. She likes to think what she wants. Some people just like to be good even if they get cheap.

Princess Jing doesn't care whether the Empress Dowager will respond to her. She laughs sarcastically: "there are countless concubines in the harem. The first emperor went to anyone, but she didn't go to her elder sister alone. How could her elder sister understand that the first Emperor didn't have a heart to go anywhere? The first emperor left his heart in her elder sister's Kunning palace."

"Oh." Empress Dowager Zhuang sneered.

Imperial concubine Jing looked at empress dowager Zhuang in confusion: "what? Am I right? "

Empress Dowager Zhuang gave her a look of pity: "Princess Jing, you are so pitiful."

Princess Jing's look split for a moment, but soon she regained her perfect smile: "sister, this princess Jing reminds me more and more of that year."

Empress Dowager Zhuang said faintly, "don't talk about the past one by one. If you want to talk about the past, go to the carriage behind to find mother CAI. I'm sorry for my family and want to be quiet."

Static too imperial concubine droops Mou to throw that broken hair in hand on the ground: "elder sister doesn't wonder why I want to divorce elder sister and Hong son's relation?"

Don't say, Empress Dowager Zhuang is really not curious: "is it necessary for a person to commit many evils? You have to taste the bitterness of life. You are forced. You have to. Do you want to move your family or yourself? "

The smile of quiet too imperial concubine faded down: "elder sister talks or so ruthless."

Empress Dowager Zhuang closed her eyes again. This time she made up her mind to ignore Princess Jing.

Princess Jing was bored and didn't continue this topic. She opened the curtain and looked out. She suddenly said sadly, "I want to go to the frontier fortress to see Ning'an. My sister will accompany me. Ning'an will be very happy to see her mother."

Empress Dowager Zhuang's eyebrows moved, but she didn't open her eyes.

I just want to take her to the frontier fortress to see Ning'an. Who believes this reason?

"We all go to see Ning'an for the last time," murmured Princess Jing

That's strange.

Empress Dowager Zhuang suspected that Princess Jing's spirit had been a little out of order.

Princess Jing put down the curtain and looked at empress dowager Zhuang with a smile: "after all, we are too old to make a second trip."

Seems to be explaining the last sentence.

But the next second, she said with a smile: "or, after seeing Ning'an, I will kill my sister."

Night fell.

There was no progress in the search for the capital.

The emperor stood under the towering gate and watched the guards search the people who entered the city one by one. He looked solemn to the extreme.

Looking at the emperor's cracked lips, Duke Wei said painfully, "Your Majesty, you've been running all day. Go and have a rest. Duke he will watch you."

The emperor's eyes were covered with a layer of bitter frost: "the queen mother is still in the hands of that woman... I'm not tired. If I can't find her back, I won't rest."

This time, he won't lose his mother again.
