"My subordinate is sure."
"Approximately when did you discover that His Majesty was missing? Let me tell you the specific details." Su Xiang couldn't calm down at this moment. His Majesty was only in his weak years after all. He had lived in the palace for a long time and basically never left the palace. Now that he is gone, it is no wonder that Su Xiang is so nervous. It is really the current situation that makes him unable to help but think too much.
His Majesty is powerless and has no ability to protect himself if he encounters any danger. Just thinking about His Majesty being in danger makes Su Xiang unable to sit still.
The guard then told Su Xiang the news from the palace.
When Su Xiang heard this, he frowned and gave several orders to the guards in succession.
"Remember, you must find the person, don't make any announcement, and report back to me as soon as you have any information."
"Yes, I understand."
After the guards went out, Su Xiang asked the people around him to ask the Minister of War, Mr. Yu.
…
Unlike Su Xiang, who was anxious and angry, Lu Qing and the two old ministers ate with their mouths full, stopped gossiping, and concentrated on cooking.
Originally, the two ministers were a little reluctant to eat in front of His Majesty, but this situation disappeared after seeing that His Majesty paid no attention to them.
So the whole box was filled with the sound of eating.
"Button button button"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Lu Qing, who was eating, had already used his mental power to detect the person outside the door. When he saw that it was the second brother from before, he shouted, "Come in."
The younger brother walked in with his head lowered and his eyes were calm and not darting around.
"Dear distinguished guests, someone is looking for you outside, saying they are some of your family members. The shopkeeper is afraid that there is something important, so he asked the younger one to come and inquire."
Hearing this, Lu Qing paused while chewing the chicken leg.
【family? That little fat man will definitely not look for me, he will look for these two old men in front of him. 】So, Lu Qing turned to look at the two old ministers who were enjoying their meal.
The two old ministers, who were working hard, were even more stunned when they heard this, and became even more confused when they saw His Majesty's eyes.
No, their family members won’t look for them. Who doesn’t know that they have been extremely busy recently, so they wouldn’t look for them unless something happens...
What else could happen?
After thinking about it, I didn't find anything so tense at home.
The two...no, they seemed to have overlooked something.
Thinking of something, both of their eyes suddenly fell on His Majesty, who was immersed in eating again.
Lu Qing felt the gaze and looked up at the two of them in confusion.
【What's wrong? Why are you looking at me. 】
Song Mao and Yu Lingyun couldn't help but look at each other, and they both suddenly guessed that the news that His Majesty was missing in the palace had been known by Su Xiang and several ministers of the court. Now he was probably looking for him, and he was afraid that he would come to them. It's also a matter of searching for someone.
Seeing that His Majesty didn't seem to have eaten well, Yu Lingyun had no choice but to say to the second brother, "Please ask the second brother to let someone wait for a while."
"yes."
Lu Qing: "No, what kind of riddle are you two playing?"
"Ahem, Your Majesty, I probably found out that you are no longer in the palace, and I am afraid that something will happen, so..."
When Lu Qing heard this, he still didn't know what the two of them had said.
"That's it. What do I think it's about? Let's continue eating and go back after eating. Anyway, I've almost finished shopping." After saying that, he continued to chew on the chicken legs in his hands. The chicken was delicious and fragrant in the mouth. , very much to her liking. No wonder the business of Piaoxiang Pavilion is so good. These dishes are really good. Although they are not as diverse and varied as the modern cuisines, the ancient cuisines have their own unique taste. .
Lu Qing's top priority now is to finish the delicious food in front of him first.
As for leaving the palace, she had no intention of hiding it, and there were only a few people who saw it at the time.
Seeing that His Majesty didn't take it seriously at all, the two of them sat down and continued eating calmly.
Such a big table is not cheap, and they are not full yet.
As for the ministers, let them be nervous first, since His Majesty is with them anyway, nothing will happen.
A quarter of an hour later, the three of them finally had enough wine and food, and leaned back in their chairs with satisfaction.
Lu Qing kept stroking her protruding round belly.
When the servants waiting outside saw their master finally coming out, they almost cried with joy on the spot and hurriedly got up to greet him.
Even if he was sitting in the store and waiting, it was still too cold. His nose was now red from the cold, and his fingers were frozen and no longer flexible.
He is none other than Afu, the servant of the Minister of War in the Lord's Mansion.
Su Xiang sent someone to the house to find the master, saying that he had something important to discuss and must find his master to come. After hearing this, the lady had no choice but to let herself and other servants in the house go to a place where adults would go to look for him.
Ah Fu is also smart. He thought that this was the time for dinner, so he went to restaurants and other places to look for someone. Sure enough, after looking for two restaurants, he went to Piaoxiang Pavilion to find his master.
"Sir, the servants of the Prime Minister's Palace are here to look for you."
Ah Fu was a smart man. When he saw that all the adults in his family were standing behind the young man and did not take the lead, he hurriedly bowed to the young man before explaining his intention.
When Yu Lingyun saw this, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he nodded and said, "Yes."
After saying this, Ah Fu stepped aside.
When Yu Lingyun was talking to the servants in the mansion, Song Mao also asked, "Master, can I send you home now?"
Hearing this, Lu Qing nodded and said, "Okay."
"Can you bring the carriage in the mansion?" Yu Lingyun thought of something and hurriedly asked Ah Fu.
"Back to my lord, while I was waiting for you just now, I had asked the waiter from Piaoxiang Pavilion to go back to the house to inform Madam. Two carriages have been arranged and are now waiting outside." Ah Fu had to boast about his Smart, I just asked the waiter too much. My lord was with a few adults. Hearing the three of them, he asked if they could bring a carriage or something like that when they came. The answer was no, so Ah Fu gave the waiter some advice. Yin Qian asked him to run an errand.
Now it seems that we did the right thing!
Hearing this, Yu Lingyun praised without hesitation, "Not bad."
This kid is capable, has eyes, and is capable of doing things. He is so thoughtful and knows how to adapt. How come I didn't notice it before.
So, a group of people got into the carriage.
Lu Qing was riding in a carriage alone, and the carriage was filled with her today's spoils.
Yu Lingyun and Song Mao were riding in the same carriage, while Ah Fu and another boy from the mansion drove the carriage.
…
Prime Minister's Mansion.
study.
Su Xiang snorted coldly when he saw Yu Lingyun.
He hadn't even had a meal with His Majesty alone, so these two old guys ate first.
Yu Lingyun knew he was in the wrong, so he could only sneer and say, "Didn't you forget? Your Majesty made a lot of noise. Mr. Song and I were vigilant the whole time and didn't dare to be careless, so we didn't think about it at all. But, Your Majesty's In my opinion, the average four or five strong men can't do anything to him. Didn't you see..."
