With Emperor Liang's permission, Song Liang was ecstatic and immediately ran back to the palace with Xue Hai.
However, when he was familiar with the road and put his hand under the bed to fumble for a while, he was stunned for a moment.
There was supposed to be a wooden box containing secret messages under the bed, but now it was empty, nothing!
Song Liang suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
That’s not right!
Every morning when he got up, Song Liang would reach out and touch the wooden box.
Only when he saw that the wooden box was still there could he feel relieved.
When I got up and went to court this morning, the wooden box was clearly still there.
Why is it that when I touch it now, it turns out to be empty?
That thing disappeared out of thin air? !
Song Liang subconsciously looked at Xue Hai standing behind him.
"Eunuch Xue, when you came to touch it just now, was it empty down there?"
"There's nothing, too?"
Xue Hai nodded lightly: "Your Highness, the servant was found according to the location you described."
"There really is nothing!"
"Did you remember the wrong location?"
Misremembered the location?
Absolutely impossible!
This is important evidence used to bring down Song Huan. How could he remember it wrong?
Song Liangliang was so anxious that he rummaged around in other places in the dormitory.
However, after searching for a long time, I still found nothing, nothing!
Song Liang was completely dumbfounded.
"impossible……"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"It was obviously there when I went out this morning, why is it gone now?"
"I have clearly told the servants around me that no one is allowed to enter or exit the palace while I am away!"
Song Liang's eyes were blank, he fell to the ground and muttered to himself, as if he didn't believe what was happening at this moment.
Xue Hai reminded in a low voice from the side: "Your Highness, the Holy One is still waiting for you in the Yangxin Hall."
"It's getting late, why don't you go back to the Holy One first..."
"Shut up!" Song Liang yelled at Xue Hai angrily, "Don't you see that I am thinking about something?"
"It's your eunuch's turn to intervene in the matter between my father and this king!"
However, as soon as these words came out, Song Liang instantly regretted it.
Xue Hai is a popular figure in front of his father, the chief eunuch!
What to do to provoke him?
Realizing this, Song Liang apologized to Xue Hai repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Eunuch Xue, I was so impatient that I offended you."
"Please don't take it to heart, Mr. Xue!"
Xue Hai had no expression on his face, lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Highness is going to break this slave."
"Your Highness is right. This is a matter between you and His Majesty. I should not talk too much."
"It's a slave who has overstepped his bounds!"
Although Xue Hai's tone was understatement, his eyes had become a little cold.
He served Emperor Liang for thirty years. Although he was a slave, no matter whether the courtiers or the princes met him, they had to be polite.
Even when beating a dog, it depends on the owner. Even if he is as crazy as Song De, he will not fail to give Xue Hai face!
Song Liang was extremely impatient and did not realize the change in Xue Hai's mood.
But what Xue Hai said is indeed correct. The longer the delay, the more unhappy the father will be!
Helpless, Song Liang could only follow Xue Hai back to the Heart Cultivation Hall with a worried heart.
"Enlightenment..."
"Report to my father..."
"My son...my son accidentally lost the secret letter..."
It was already late at night, and Emperor Liang waited for Song Liang here for a long time, holding on to his sleepiness.
Unexpectedly, Song Liang found nothing, and Emperor Liang became furious instantly!
"lost?"
"Tell me you lost such an important thing?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Song Liang frowned: "I don't know why this thing was lost!"
"Obviously, that thing was still there when I went to court this morning!"
"But now it's as if it had wings and flew away!"
"My son is also puzzled!"
Emperor Liang had lost all patience: "Tell me honestly, is this thing lost, or does it not exist at all?"
"Did you make the nonsense to fool me in order to frame the fourth child?"
When Song Liang heard this, he immediately swore: "I would like to swear to my ancestors that everything I said about this matter is not a lie!"
"But I really don't know how the evidence that has been preserved for many days could be lost so easily..."
Emperor Liang suddenly became displeased: "You kept it for many days, why didn't you present it to me as soon as possible?"
Song Liang was speechless for a moment: "My son..."
"My son is thinking..."
Emperor Liang was already irritable and waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, please step back."
"After tomorrow's interrogation by the Internal Affairs Bureau, if you let me know that these informants were indeed set up by you, I will never let you off lightly!"
Song Liang was so frightened that he couldn't even speak: "Father, please calm down!"
"Father, please trust me!"
"This matter is really not what I did!"
"My son is willing to swear..."
When he heard that Song Liang was about to swear again, Emperor Liang was so angry that he had a headache.
"Swear, swear, swear again!"
"Besides swearing, what else can you say to me?"
"I don't want these meaningless oaths, I want to see the evidence!"
"I only believe in evidence!"
"Get out of here!"
Song Liang was pissed and left the Heart Cultivation Hall as if he was running away.
Fortunately, he had a backup plan. No matter how the Ministry of Internal Affairs investigated, this matter could not be found on his head.
It's just that Song Liang is really puzzled. How come the secret message that has been kept intact for so many days has disappeared when it is needed today?
Except for Xue Hai, no one else has entered his dormitory!
Even except for Sun Shutong, no third person knew the existence of this thing!
Who could it be...
who is it!
…
The moon and stars are few and far between, and magpies are flying south.
A crescent moon hung high in the sky without any dark clouds, illuminating the stone road particularly brightly.
Prince Rong's Mansion, at the back entrance.
The woman Zhou, the sisters Qiu Rong and Qiu Ya, all wearing cloaks and each carrying some personal belongings, boarded a small carriage one after another.
"Mrs. Zhou, this is what my prince has given you to use as a means of transportation on the road."
"It's not convenient for the prince to come forward, so let's give it to you for him."
Xiao Lingzi handed a bag of silver to Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou touched through the bag and found a stack of thick silver notes.
Mrs. Zhou immediately beamed: "Father-in-law, you are so polite!"
"Your Majesty is so generous and his kindness is so great that we will never forget it!"
Qiu Rong also echoed: "I also ask my father-in-law to tell the prince that after I return, I will pray to the Bodhisattva day and night for the prince's health!"
However, unlike Zhou and Qiu Rong, Qiu Ya stretched her neck while sitting in the carriage and kept looking outside the carriage.
Qiu Rong said in surprise: "Qiu Ya, what are you looking at, so serious?"
Qiu Ya's face was full of urgency: "The agreed time has come, why hasn't the big guard come forward yet?"
Seeing Qiu Ya's eager look, Qiu Rong seemed to realize something and laughed softly.
"Girl, you have really grown up!"
"Let me see if you asked that guard to take you away. It's true. You want to see him a few more times."
