Chapter 1305 [169] Xuanyin training the prince

Xuan Yin left the palace to look for Huangfu Che, leaving Ning Yue to continue searching in the palace. In fact, the two of them knew that it was impossible for Huangfu Che to hide here, but Xuan Yin was worried that Ning Yue would be in danger walking outside, so Find an excuse for her to stay.

But how could Ning Yue sit still?

After walking back and forth in Jiaofangdian, he changed into casual clothes for traveling.

Dongmei was startled: "Your Majesty, are you leaving the palace? Didn't the Emperor tell you to wait for news here?"

"How can I wait? You haven't given birth to a child, so you don't understand how flustered I am!" Ning Yue left Zhen'er to look after the little princess, and she put on her token and left the palace. Fearing that something might happen to her, Dongmei quietly explained to the palace staff and informed the emperor.

After leaving the palace, Ning Yue searched all over the street, and searched as much as possible in the places she had been to before, but she found nothing.

Ning Yue was so anxious that tears almost came out.

Such a young child, who has been missing for so long, where will he go?

There are people coming and going on the street, has he met any bad guys?

In the past, I always heard that some desperate human traffickers would squat at the entrance of the downtown area, specializing in abducting and selling children separated from their parents. Her Che'er has been walking on the street alone for so long, has anyone caught her eye?

Ning Yue covered her heart, leaned on the wall, barely supported her body, and even had difficulty breathing.

Seeing her pale face, Dongmei wiped the sweat from her forehead distressedly: "Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace first. Let's search aimlessly like this. In fact, the effect...is like finding a needle in a haystack. The emperor has sent The entire Shengjing was surrounded by the hidden guards and the Imperial Forest Army. As long as His Royal Highness is still in Shengjing, he will be found. The slaves believe that His Royal Highness just slipped out for a while, and when he had enough fun, he would come back I came back by myself!"

Ning Yue's mood hasn't improved at all. When you're really worried about someone, all comfort can't be effective.

Dongmei said again: "My servant knows that you are worried about the safety of His Royal Highness, but think about it, does His Highness seem to be someone who is prone to accidents? He is so precocious that even the masters feel inferior. According to this servant, unless he I am willing to go with others, otherwise, no one can take him away!"

"Don't you know that there is something called a drug in the world? It's a little powder, which can make people lose consciousness! He is a son again, in case of those people, in case of those people..." Ning Yue said, His complexion became paler. It is not uncommon for little boys to be kidnapped and sold to be used as sons. Of course, this is a more comforting ending. I am afraid that those frenzied charlatans will buy their children and torture them in every possible way. Thinking of this, her heart felt like a knife was being cut!

Dongmei opened her mouth, unable to say any more comforting words. She originally wanted Ning Yue to feel better, but instead it aroused Ning Yue's deeper panic. If she continued, Ning Yue would probably blame her for standing still. Talking doesn't hurt your back, and you don't care about His Royal Highness.

"Then... slave girl will accompany you to continue searching."

…

Under the vast starry sky, the ship is silent, and there is the sound of waves bubbling not far away, mixed with a few lutes and songs of actors, and the night is gentle.

Huangfu Che was lying on his side with his back against Geng Xiaoxi, curled up slightly. This was an insecure posture. Geng Xiaoxi didn't understand, but Geng Xiaoxi listened for a long time, but he didn't hear Huangfu Che talk to her again. Thinking, Huangfu Che must She was asleep, and she gave the servant girl a wink, and the servant girl gently brought a light but warm fire fox overcoat.

Geng Xiaoxi took the cloak and gently put it on Huangfu Che's body. Huangfu Che suddenly turned around and looked at her warily.

She smiled slightly: "I thought His Highness was asleep, and I was afraid that His Highness would catch a cold, so I covered His Highness with something, did I disturb His Highness?"

Huangfu Che pushed away his cloak and sat up: "Sleeping alone for a long time?"

Geng Xiaoxi smiled and said: "Soon, just for a while, will Your Highness sleep for a while?"

Huangfu Che shook his head: "No, at what time, Gu should go."

Geng Xiaoxi held his arm and said: "It's still early, do you want to set off fireworks? This is the busiest time in the market, let's go buy fireworks!"

Huangfu Che hesitated, but he was not particularly opposed, and was dragged away by Geng Xiaoxi.

The market was indeed lively, but it was also more chaotic than usual. Huangfu Che stared and said, "I remember that the streets were not like this before."

Geng Xiaoxi chose a few firecrackers: "Wrap these up for me." Looking back at Huangfu Che, he said, "The street has always been like this, lively, crowded, and full of traffic."

"It's not so chaotic." The pedestrians didn't know how to avoid it, and the hawkers quarreled wantonly over a stall, and the prices went up and down, watching people order dishes.

Geng Xiaoxi said: "That may be because they know that you are going to go on private tours in micro-services, so they have made preparations in advance! My grandfather Chang said that this is how officials are. Whatever the master wants to see, they can show the master what the master wants you to have." Money, even if you have no money, you have to borrow it; the master makes you poor, even if you have gold and silver, you have to bury it alive."

"Is it all...fake?" Huangfu Che murmured.

Geng Xiaoxi took his arm: "I've chosen! What else do you need?"

Huangfu Che said: "You just choose."

Geng Xiaoxi picked out some of the best-selling fireworks at the moment and asked his servants to hold them. He and Huangfu Che came to the bank of the river. There were many people setting off fireworks and playing with lanterns gathered on the river bank. Geng Xiaoxi ordered his servants to arrange the fireworks and lifted them Mou, seeing Huangfu Che staring at Manhe lanterns in a daze, rolled his eyes, stepped forward and said, "Does Your Highness like lanterns too? Shall we buy one?"

Before Huangfu Che could answer, Geng Xiaoxi had already bought two very delicate and gorgeous lanterns, a flying dragon lantern and a phoenix lantern: "I heard that you can still make a wish. Do you want to make one, Your Highness? Make one, give it."

Geng Xiaoxi handed the brush and paper to Huangfu Che.

Huangfu Che hesitantly made a payment, and soon crumpled the paper again: "It's all a lie!"

Geng Xiaoxi was startled: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

"It doesn't work at all! What it promises, what it doesn't allow, it's all a lie, a lie!" Huangfu Che threw the pen and lantern into the river.

Geng Xiaoxi didn't dare to answer any more, and cast a questioning look at the wet nurse, who shook her head slightly.

Pedestrians passing by were a little curious by Huangfu Che's gaffe, but seeing that he was a child, they had the right to think that he was naughty and didn't take it to heart.

Geng Xiaoxi stepped forward, gently pulled his sleeve and said, "Your Highness, do you still want to set off fireworks? Shall I set them off for you? It's very beautiful. Every time I'm unhappy, my dad will set off fireworks for me." , After reading it, I don’t have any troubles anymore.”

Huangfu Che nodded mechanically.

Fireworks were set off one after another. The beams of light were like a rainbow, blooming gorgeously in the night sky, capturing the starlight all over the sky, and the world was full of brilliance.

Geng Xiaoxi smiled and held Huangfu Che's hand. Under the light, her face was delicate and radiant: "Your Highness will always remember Xiao Xi, right? I remember that Xiao Xi accompanied His Highness to set off fireworks by the river bank. From now on, every time I see Fireworks, I think of Xiaoxi, okay?"

Huangfu Che looked at her steadfastly, and Geng Xiaoxi smiled again: "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, Xiaoxi will always remember His Highness."

"Che'er!"

A familiar voice came from not far away, and Huangfu Che's body shook.

"Cheer! Is that you, Cheer?"

Huangfu Che tensed his body and stood up abruptly.

"Che'er!"

The sound was approaching, accompanied by rapid breathing and footsteps, as if he was about to be caught in the next second.

Huangfu Che clenched his fist and ran away.

Geng Xiaoxi opened his mouth wide: "Eh? Your Highness! Your Highness, wait for me!" and ran after her.

Ning Yue walked for more than an hour, almost breaking her legs. She finally ran into a child whose back looked like her son. She called out a few times tentatively. Instead of looking back, the other party ran away quickly. She was sure, This is the son, and the son is deliberately avoiding her!

"Che'er!" She anxiously chased after her.

"Miss, please slow down!" Dongmei also chased Ning Yue, Dongmei is still a servant, moving a lot in the past, she is not as good as Ning Yue, "Slow down...don't...don't fall .”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Yue's legs gave way and she fell to the ground.

Huangfu Che stopped in his tracks, and turned his head slightly to look at her with difficulty, but he didn't dare to expose his entire face to her eyes. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of her embarrassed and uncomfortable appearance, and his eyes felt hot.

"Your Highness." Geng Xiaoxi tugged at his arm, "That seems to be the empress, do you want to see her?"

"Che'er..." Ning Yue looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Huangfu Che turned his head and stopped looking at Ning Yue. He breathed heavily and trembled all over. Finally, he ran into the night without mercy.

…

The door of Geng's Mansion was knocked.

The servant opened a crack impatiently, complaining "who is knocking on the door at such a late hour", opened the door, and caught a glimpse of the group of solemn and murderous royal guards, and the tall man sitting behind the steps. The cold emperor on the bed was so frightened that he knelt on the ground trembling.

Xuanyin didn't even bother to look at him, and said to Xiao Dezi: "Call out Dingguo's mansion."

"yes."

Xiao Dezi walked into the Geng's house with small steps, and after a while, Duke Ding Geng Qingyun hurried to the gate, and bowed down: "I don't know the emperor is coming, but I am far away to meet you, and I hope the emperor will forgive me. "

Xuanyin said coldly: "I don't want to talk nonsense with you, tell me quickly, where did you hide the little prince?"

Geng Qingyun's face showed a trace of confusion: "The emperor...why did you say that? I haven't seen His Highness the Crown Prince these days... Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince disappeared? When? Where did he disappear?"

Xuanyin pressed the cold armrest: "Don't play tricks on me, Ding Guogong, you are not in the palace, but your claws are long enough, do you think I really can't find out?"

Geng Qingyun hurriedly lowered his body: "The emperor has really wronged this humble minister. The humble minister has never had a dissenting heart against the royal family, let alone interfered with the emperor's general affairs."

Xuanyin said in a cold voice: "Outside the dog hole in the washing room, it happens to be the driveway of the few of you. An Guohou (Rong Lin) has long been gone in southern Xinjiang, and Chen Taifu has always parked his carriage at the third-rank official. Beside, you are the only one using it now, dare you say that you don't know what the prince has done?"

Geng Qingyun said: "I don't know."

"Presumptuous!"

Xuanyin yelled violently, and Geng Qingyun shuddered and knelt down.

Xuanyin said to Xuanjiang: "Search for me!"

"Yes!" Xuanjiang led dozens of imperial guards into the Geng Mansion, and searched inside and out. Today's Geng Mansion is not the former big house, but another site of the former dignitaries. It is luxurious and exquisite, but The area is not big, Xuanjiang quickly finished the search, and replied: "Your Majesty, the prince was not found."

Geng Qingyun's expression relaxed, and soon Xuanyin asked again: "Where's Geng Qiaoshan?"

Xuanjiang replied: "Not here."

Geng Qingyun's complexion changed.

Xuan Yin's eyes glanced around his face: "Where's Geng Xiaoxi?"

Xuanjia said: "Not here either."

Sweat dripped from Geng Qingyun's forehead.

Xuan Yin looked at him coldly, and suddenly showed a bright smile: "Mr. Ding, you said that if I go to find your son and granddaughter now, will I find anything new?"

Geng Qingyun's throat slipped, and he knelt down in the tunnel and said: "They went out to play, if they are lucky enough to meet His Royal Highness..."

Xuanyin interrupted him unceremoniously: "It was a fluke? Was it a fluke or was it done on purpose? I will find out the truth! But the words of Duke Ding confirmed my guess, they are indeed together!"

Geng Qingyun's heart skipped a beat. Thanks to his scheming for many years, he was exposed just now as soon as the little emperor threatened them. He was afraid that the little emperor would find them and he would not be able to explain it. He lied and said it was a fluke, but in fact, they arranged it very well. Well, how could the little emperor find it? I am so stupid, I have exposed my secrets! Now, I can only pray that the little emperor can't find them.

Xuanyin flicked his sleeves, and stopped looking at Geng Qingyun: "Go to Geng Qiaoshan and Geng Xiaoxi!"

Xuanjiang clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate takes orders!"

…

"Your Highness, this way!" Geng Xiaoxi took Huangfu Che's hand, and hid in a black-covered boat together.

"Che'er! Che'er—" Ning Yue chased after her anxiously and mournfully like a mother beast whose cubs had been snatched from her. Far away.

As for Dongmei, she had already been thrown out of sight.

This area is desolate and quiet, only the sound of turbulent waves crashing on the shore can be heard. Ning Yue stood on the shore, looking at the swaying black-covered boat, panting heavily, and said, "Che'er, come out quickly...let's have a talk." ..."

Huangfu Che sat in the black-covered boat, his fingers trembling, he stuffed his fingers into his mouth, biting his nails bit by bit.

"Che'er! Did the queen mother do something wrong that made you angry? You tell the queen mother!"

"The queen mother is very worried about you and misses you very much. Don't ignore the queen mother..."

Ning Yue choked up and said.

Huangfu Che bit his nails with a hesitant expression.

Geng Xiaoxi gently held his other hand.

Ning Yue moved a few more steps toward the water: "The queen mother is afraid of water, can you come out by yourself?"

There was a cry in her words, and the tears dried on her face, and soon new ones flowed down.

Huangfu Che's eyes were slightly red.

Geng Xiaoxi asked softly: "Do you want me to say a few words to your empress? I'll tell her to let her go, okay?"

Huangfu Che did not speak, tears filled his eyes, and his vision gradually became blurred.

Geng Xiaoxi opened the curtain and went outside the cabin, looked at Ning Yue and saluted, and said, "Madam, His Royal Highness does not want to see you, please come back."

Ning Yue got angry for no reason, and said with red eyes: "I teach my son, when is your turn to speak? Get out of here!"

Geng Xiaoxi didn't expect that the weak and pitiful queen turned out to be a different person in a blink of an eye, killing her! What to do next?

Where is Daddy? Come out and say something!

Geng Qiaoshan, who was hidden in the woods, looked at the hourglass in his hand. It was almost five hours since the little prince came out. The queen has come here, and the emperor should be here soon. There is no longer any delay. He took out the mirror and reflected a few times. Dao Baiguang came to Geng Xiaoxi's face.

This is the secret signal to shoot, and Geng Xiaoxi understood.

Geng Xiaoxi entered the cabin, held the prince's hand and said, "There is a small villa in front, let's hide there for the night, the empress has slow legs, we can't catch up."

These words are full of loopholes, no matter how slow the queen's legs are, she can always see where you are hiding, and it will be a matter of time before you find them. Because Geng Xiaoxi's purpose was not to stay with the little prince for one night, naturally he has no fear of being found.

Geng Xiaoxi took Huangfu Che's hand and wanted to jump off from the other side of the cabin.

Geng Qiaoshan smiled, her daughter is worthy of being born with a phoenix, she managed to coax the little prince into such a submissive one night, and after a while, another scene of a beauty saving a hero will be staged, and the little prince's heart will be completely captured .

It's just that the queen has to be lured away first. First, he doesn't want to hurt the queen by mistake. Second, those knives and arrows are all fake. The child can't see the difference, but the queen is so smart, can she be deceived?

But seeing how the queen is limping, she thinks she will be thrown away after a few steps, so just be patient and wait.

He gestured to the five men in black robes behind him.

The man in the black robe remained motionless.

He frowned and said in a low voice, "What are you doing? Didn't you hear me when I said keep up?"

The men in black robes all showed their bows and arrows.

Geng Qiaoshan said with a smile: "Hey, brother, are you deaf or dumb? I said, follow me, and listen to me to give orders when you get there. I didn't ask you to do it now."

The man in black puts on the arrow, draws the bow and arrow, and aims at the awning boat.

Geng Qiaoshan seemed to realize something, and his face changed: "Hey, hey, what are you doing? You can't do anything now! You will be seen through! You..."

Before he finished speaking, the man in black shot the arrow in his hand, the arrow flashed like a faint light, and made a piercing sound in the air, awe-inspiring, sharp, and unstoppable.

Huangfu Che moved his ears, instinctively caught a hint of danger, and dragged Geng Xiaoxi into the cabin.

The arrows were nailed to the boat!

"Oh my god! It's a real arrow!" Geng Qiaoshan jumped up in fright.

Ning Yue was also taken aback by the sudden arrows. Not long ago, she was still lamenting that Shengjing was governed by Xuan Yin in an orderly manner, and she would never encounter assassination after coming out so many times. Today, she encountered up!

She fell into the water involuntarily, forgetting even her fear, and climbed straight onto the black-covered boat.

Another round of arrows was shot, this time the arrows were lit with kerosene, and the black-covered boat slid and burned.

Ning Yue hugged Huangfu Che into her arms: "Che'er, don't be afraid, mother is coming."

There are more and more arrows, and the fire is getting bigger and bigger. Ning Yue looked at Geng Xiaoxi, who was coughing non-stop, and then at her son who was tense all over. She threw herself into the water holding her son.

…

When Xuanyin arrived here, the awning boat had already been burned.

Looking at the ashes, arrows and sporadic flames floating on the lake, he went berserk!

"Find it for me! Dig three feet into the ground and dig out that group of chaotic parties!"

Xuanjiang took the lead and led a team of people to search for the past along the clues.

Xuanyin himself looked at the icy cold lake, and jumped into it without hesitation.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty—"

Xiao Dezi's call was scattered in the wind.

…

Geng Qiaoshan returned to the mansion angrily. The first thing he did was to find his father. As usual, his father was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea and admiring the flowers.

Geng Qingyun smelled the tea slowly: "Are you back?"

Geng Qiaoshan angrily walked around to his father, gritted his teeth and said, "Father, did you do it on purpose?"

"What intentional?" Geng Qingyun asked casually.

Geng Qiaoshan pointed to the door, and said with difficulty hiding his anger: "Those people... are not the ones we agreed in advance! There is no assassination in the plan! It's just a play! But just now, if I didn't act fast, Xiaoxi would have been killed Those people were shot to death! No, they were burned to death! Father, what do you think? How can you hurt Xiaoxi, how can you disregard human life?"

"If I really hurt her, can I still allow you to save her?" Geng Qingyun glanced at him.

Geng Qiaoshan was trembling with anger: "But that's also very dangerous! I was almost shot to death by those lunatics, you know?"

Geng Qingyun said coldly: "If you don't even have this ability, you might as well be shot to death."

"Father!"

"Okay, stop talking, you step back, I want to be alone."

"Father, we agreed that to make Xiaoxi the queen, Xiaoxi must marry the prince, but today...you sent someone to kill the prince! And the queen! You...you killed them all! How could you be so cruel? ?!" Geng Qiaoshan held back, his shoulders were trembling.

Geng Qingyun sneered: "I'm cruel? Why? Are you complaining for that family? Don't forget how your grandfather managed to get Geng Yan's post. This road has always been climbed by stepping on bones! You are soft-hearted, okay! Don’t dream of your country’s head!”

Geng Qiaoshan's face was livid due to choking, and after a while, he turned around: "Then there is no need to kill the queen and the prince, it's enough to drive a wedge between them. Do you have to kill them? If the crown prince is dead, whose queen can Xiaoxi be?"

"Could it be that the emperor won't have other children? The prince and Ma Ningyue are dead, so the emperor has no reason to close the court."

"You...you..." Geng Qiaoshan couldn't agree with his father's approach, but he didn't dare to point at his father's nose and scold. He took a few deep breaths, shook his sleeves and left the place.

…

Ning Yue woke up in the darkness, and she was dizzy for a while before she remembered what happened. A fire broke out in the cabin, which was about to burn Che'er, so she jumped into the water holding Che'er.

The river was so cold, she felt her body sinking slowly, and she tried to hold her breath, hoping to float up. In the back, it seemed that it really floated to the surface of the water, and was hit by the waves, and I didn't know where it hit—it was just now when I woke up again.

Where's Che'er?

Could it be that he lost him in the water after he was unconscious?

Ning Yue was frightened into a cold sweat by her conjecture, but suddenly, she heard footsteps in the corridor, and then, the door opened, and Dongmei came in with a lamp, and met her suddenly wide-open eyes, Dongmei Startled: "Your Majesty, are you awake?"

Ning to the dim light, Ning Yue looked at the room she was in. It was very simple, not like being in a palace: "Where is this? How did you find me?"

Dongmei put the lamp on the table, went to the bed and put a thin coat on Ning Yue, and said: "It wasn't the servants who found you, but the emperor. You have been floating in the water for a long time, and you have already floated out of Shengjing. Your majesty It took me a long time to catch up with you. This is a villager's tea shed shop. The emperor sent a signal to Xuanjiang, and Xuanjiang came with his slaves. How do you feel?"

"It's a bit cold." Ning Yue hugged her arms tightly.

Dongmei said distressedly: "You have a cold, some high fever, you will feel cold, but there is no silver charcoal here, and the black charcoal is too smoky. This servant will bring you two more clothes."

Ning Yue let Dongmei put on a small floral waistcoat and a plain white apricot-colored embroidered begonia narrow-fitting velvet jacket, and she finally felt warmer: "Where is the prince?"

Dongmei's expression froze, she lowered her head and said, "Kneeling outside."

The cold wind is bleak.

Huangfu Che knelt on the icy mud, his ears were red from the cold, his hands and feet were all stiff, and his teeth were chattering.

In front of him, stood Xuanyin in a black overcoat, standing alone.

Xuan Yin looked coldly at the son who almost killed Ning Yue, wishing he would never see him again!

"Huangfu Che, what's wrong with you? Did you learn to skip classes? Did you learn to run away from home? Is this what I usually teach you? Or did the Taifu teach you? , Such a rebellious thing! Huangfuche, I can depose you!"

Huangfu Che stubbornly knelt on the ground, while listening to Xuan Yin's growl that was deliberately lowered in volume, while enduring the cold wind that cracked his bones, he didn't say a word.

Xuan Yin smiled coldly: "Don't talk, right? You are right if you don't talk? Don't act like a victim to me! I don't feel bad! I don't feel bad when you die!"

Tears welled up in Huangfu Che's eyes.

Xuanyin paced back and forth beside him: "I tell you, no matter what slander you believe, you have no reason to vent your anger on your mother! Your mother has never done anything sorry for you! She is for you...for your sister... She broke her heart! You'd better pray that your mother wakes up safely, if something happens to her... I will warn you, Huangfu Che, and I will let you be buried with her!"

It’s a little bit of a text, let’s add so much first, I’ll take care of the plot later, there is no guarantee that there will be a second update today
