Chapter 159 Search and Rescue
But this female Rakshasa is really good at charming! He almost got himself caught.
The scene of Chen Wenjing hooking her neck just now appeared in her mind unconsciously, especially her charming expression and slim figure, which made Meng Ruolang's heart feel hot again.
"Pah!" Meng Ruolang slapped her face hard twice and couldn't think about it anymore! That's my eldest brother's woman! Thief Yiyoudao, how could he have such thoughts about his eldest brother's woman!
Shaking his head to throw away those unrealistic thoughts, he picked up Xiaolan and headed towards the imperial concubine's room.
"Dang Dang Dang!" Meng Ruolang carried Xiaolan to the imperial concubine's room, knocked on the door, and whispered, "Concubine, please open the door, something happened to Xiaolan!"
The imperial concubine was lying on the bed worriedly and taking a nap, waiting for the news Xiaolan brought back. When she heard Meng Ruolang's voice, she immediately got up, put on her shoes and socks and opened the door for Meng Ruolang.
"How did this happen? What happened?" Looking at Xiaolan lying unconscious on the bed, she asked Meng Ruolang with an anxious expression on her face.
"Xiaolan arrived at the hot springs and was attacked by a man in black."
"Have you seen Tao'er and Miss Xue?" The imperial concubine understood clearly and asked Meng Ruolang what she really cared about. At the same time, she also had doubts in her heart, "Why did Mr. Meng appear in the hot spring place?" ?”
"Cough cough cough!" Seeing the imperial concubine ask about this matter, Meng Ruolang coughed twice to relieve his embarrassment.
"My Lady, this is not the time to talk about this. You should quickly send people to the back mountain to look for traces of Big Brother and Miss Snow. They are not at the hot springs. I am afraid they have encountered something unexpected!"
"Is everything you said true?" When the imperial concubine heard this, she immediately became anxious. She grabbed Meng Ruolang's arm with both hands and asked anxiously.
"My dear concubine, please be patient!" Meng Ruolang helped the imperial concubine sit down and poured her a cup of hot tea. "I was just worried, so I followed him to the back mountain. I thought there was something else there. There is a river, which is a good place for a tryst, so I went over to take a look, and I saw signs of fighting beside the river!"
"There is no news about the two of them anywhere. I'm afraid they were attacked by the assassin. But when I rescued Lan Yatou, I found that the assassin also suffered some injuries. It seems that the elder brother and the others escaped."
"They didn't have any lights in their hands, so they probably ran into the depths of the back mountain in a panic when they fled!"
"So now the noble concubine should go to see the emperor, explain the matter to the emperor, and quickly ask the emperor to send people to search. If they are seriously injured, it is not too late to rescue them!"
"Then Mr. Meng also asked to see the emperor with me! You know the news better than me, so you can explain it to the emperor." After hearing Meng Ruolang's news, the imperial concubine could no longer calm down, and pulled Meng Ruolang to ask for help. Let's go together to see the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please don't be impatient! Calm down!" Meng Ruolang filled the teacup for her, "I can't go with you, Your Majesty!"
"You and I are inherently different between men and women. Now in the dead of night, if you and I go together to see the emperor alone, I am afraid that the emperor will have a grudge. Even if there is nothing wrong with you and me, we will still make the emperor angry. I feel bad in my heart. It is inevitable that I will blame you and alienate you, and I may also slack off in finding Big Brother and Miss Snow!"
Following Meng Ruolang's explanation, the imperial concubine's anxious heart calmed down, and she suddenly felt frightened. Fortunately, Meng Ruolang stopped her, otherwise she and Meng Ruolang might not only be unable to request the emperor to find Bi Yuntao and the others, but also Being punished, Meng Ruolang may even be punished with a cane.
"Thank you, Mr. Meng, for calling me to stay! Otherwise, something would have really gone wrong." The imperial concubine quickly thanked Meng Ruolang, "You made Mr. Meng look like a joke!"
"Haha! It's human nature!" Meng Ruolang sipped her tea and said with a smile, "After all, it was the eldest brother who had an incident with Miss Xue. If something happened to this person, the imperial concubine would definitely not be as anxious and lose her sense of proportion as she is now. !”
"Then I won't keep Mr. Meng anymore. I'm going to see the emperor now." The imperial concubine took the fox fur and put it on her body and issued an order to expel him.
"Boy, I'm leaving now!" Meng Ruolang stood up and said goodbye knowingly, "Your Majesty, please stay!"
"I've done a simple check on Lan Yatou's injuries. She's just injured and unconscious. She'll just wake up on her own!"
After saying that, Meng Ruolang stepped back and closed the door, heading towards Meng Ruoxi's room.
As Meng Ruolang's figure disappeared, the imperial concubine also wore a fox fur and walked eagerly towards the emperor's residence.
"My Lady, please stay!" As soon as he reached the emperor's door, before he could say anything, Eunuch Gui shouted to the Emperor, "Your Majesty has rested, please stay!"
"Eunuch Gui, please let me know. I have something important to ask you to see your Majesty!" The imperial concubine quickly took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into Eunuch Gui's hand. "Please, Eunuch Gui, please be accommodating! It's about the life of King Qi!"
Eunuch Gui quietly accepted the money, and just as he was thinking about how to refuse, he heard the imperial concubine explain her purpose of coming, and it turned out to be something related to King Qi! And it's still related to King Qi's life.
This shocked Eunuch Gui, and he quickly put the money in his sleeve back into the hands of the imperial concubine.
"Eunuch Gui, what does this mean?" the imperial concubine asked puzzledly.
"Your Majesty, my servant is going to report it right away. Please wait a moment!" Eunuch Gui did not explain why he did this.
"Then I have to thank Eunuch Gui!" Seeing Eunuch Gui being so happy, the imperial concubine was not stingy and put the ingot of silver into Eunuch Gui's hand.
"Your Highness, you must not do this! You can't do this!" The money in front of him was like a hot potato. Eunuch Gui had never felt that the white money made him so disgusted as he did today.
"This..." The imperial concubine did not expect that Eunuch Gui, who had always been greedy for money, would one day turn away the money he got.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment, I will report to the Emperor right now!" Seeing the Emperor's hesitation, Gui Eunuch quickly took a few steps back and excused himself to the Emperor.
Just when the imperial concubine was getting impatient, Eunuch Gui walked out.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty invites you!"
The imperial concubine stopped being polite and walked straight into the house.
"Meet the Emperor!"
"My dear concubine, please forgive me!" The emperor kindly helped the imperial concubine up, took her hand and hugged her and sat on the bed. "I wonder why my beloved concubine came here late at night? Could it be that Anna can't help but feel lonely and wants to Have I treated you well?"
"Your Majesty! Wuwuwu~" As soon as she sat on the emperor's lap, the imperial concubine's eyes instantly became wet, and she sobbed to the emperor, "Your Majesty! Something happened to Tao'er! Life or death is uncertain!"
"What did you say?" Hearing the imperial concubine's voice, the emperor lost all interest. "What happened to Tao'er? How could he be in danger of life or death?"
"Your Majesty!" The imperial concubine sobbed and knelt on the ground, explaining the situation to the emperor.
"Today, the Queen Mother proposed marriage to Yun Xiao on behalf of Miss Xue. After Yun Xiao refused, Miss Xue ran out of the dining hall in grief and anger. She happened to be bumped into by Tao'er who came out of the abbot's room, and then the two of them went to the back mountain."
"I just wanted to see Tao'er for something. I found that he was not in the room, so I sent people to search. As a result, I found signs of a fight and a lot of blood beside the river in the back mountain."
"After I learned about this, I panicked and came here late at night to ask for an audience with the emperor! If I have offended you, please forgive me!"
"My dear concubine, don't cry!" After listening to the imperial concubine's words, the emperor lovingly helped the imperial concubine up and held her in his arms, wiping the tears from her eyes distressedly. "I will send people to the back mountain to search for Tao right away. News about Er and Miss Snow!"
"Come here!" Seeing that the imperial concubine's tear attack had finally subsided, the emperor shouted sharply toward the door.
"The slave is here!" Hearing the emperor's angry voice, Eunuch Gui, who was waiting outside the door, couldn't help but trembled and responded quickly.
"Call Xiang Guangtai, the commander of the Suwei Envoy, and Peng Xun, the deputy commander of the Suwei Envoy, to me!"
"yes!"
Xiang Guangtai, the commander of the Suwei envoy, and Peng Xun, the deputy commander of the Suwei envoy, were called up by the emperor overnight. Knowing that something serious had happened, they quickly put on their clothes and hurried over crawling on the ground.
"Xiang Guangtai, the commander of the Suwei Envoy, and Peng Xun, the deputy commander of the Suwei Envoy, kowtow to the emperor!" As soon as they saw the emperor, they kowtowed quickly to say hello.
"Bang!" Seeing the two of them, the emperor slammed the table, "You guys are really ignorant! I brought a group of ministers to Hanfeng Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, but assassins appeared one after another! Now all of them are here The king has also been implicated, and his life and death are still uncertain. Do you two know your guilt?"
Sure enough, something big happened! Why don't you keep your black gauze hat?
This thought came up in their minds at the same time, and they quickly kowtowed tremblingly in confession.
"Your Majesty, forgive me! It was my servant (slave) who did not do his job well! Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
"Punishment?!" The emperor stood up and kicked down the commander of the guards, Xiang Guangtai, "You still have the nerve to talk about punishment?"
"You bitch! You've always known how to eat and drink! Now that something like this has happened, you still have the nerve to punish me?"
"Since you are willing to be punished! Then I will do it for you!"
"Come here! Drag Xiang Guangtai out and chop him!"
"Your Majesty! Have mercy on me!" When Xiang Guangtai heard that the Emperor was going to kill him, he was so frightened that he peed and cried. He kowtowed and begged crazily with a sad face, "Your Majesty! Spare your life! I have no merit but hard work!"
"Why are you still waiting?! Why don't you hurry up and drag us down!" The emperor turned around in disgust and saw the two guards who came in, stunned on the spot at a loss, and yelled at them.
"Your Majesty! Spare my life! Your Majesty..." Xiang Guangtai wailed and begged for mercy, but the emperor had already made up his mind and showed no intention of going back on his begging for mercy.
As Xiang Guangtai's wailing sound became farther and farther away, until he could no longer hear it, the emperor turned around and stared at Peng Xun, who was shivering and sweating coldly, with cold eyes.
Huge pressure weighed on Peng Xun's heart, especially when the smell of feces and urine next to him kept entering his nose, which made Peng Xun even more frightened.
"Your Majesty! I can't bear the sin! But the most urgent task is to find His Highness King Qi." Peng Xun, under great pressure, pretended to be calm and invited the Emperor. "Now is the time when Your Majesty is employing people. I also ask Your Majesty to give this slave a meritorious service." If you have the opportunity, I will definitely find King Qi, and when this matter is over, I will surrender to the emperor's punishment."
"Hmph!" The emperor sneered, "You have a good idea!"
"But there is some truth in what you said!" The emperor changed the topic, "Peng Xunzhen temporarily appoints you as the commander of the Suwei Envoy and finds King Qi!"
"If you find King Qi, you will not only avoid the death penalty but also become the commander of the Suwei Envoy. But if you can't find him, then stay with Xiang Guangtai!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me!" Peng Xun kowtowed and thanked him, "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust! I will definitely try my best to find the whereabouts of King Qi."
"Let the servants clean up these disgusting things and then go down!" The emperor waved his hand, dismissed Peng Xun, and asked him to go and do things quickly.
"Are your concubine satisfied this time?" Seeing the servants cleaning up carefully, the emperor took a few steps and walked behind the screen. Before the imperial concubine could react, he hugged the concubine who was hiding behind the screen and eavesdropping. Imperial concubine.
"Your Majesty!" the imperial concubine said angrily, slapping away his claws that were about to reach into his belly pocket, "Taoer's life and death are still uncertain now, so this is not the time to do these things!"
"When you find Tao'er and return to the palace, I will be taking good care of the emperor!"
"Then everything depends on my beloved concubine!" The emperor rubbed the back of his aching hand and replied with a disappointed look on his face, "When I came to Hanfeng Temple, my beloved concubine avoided me everywhere. When I return to the palace, my beloved concubine can You have to be comfortable serving me!"
"This is natural!" The imperial concubine pecked the emperor's lips like a dragonfly and smiled slyly at him, "This is a small reward from my concubine to the emperor!"
"Concubine, can we take a rest now?" The emperor asked with his arms around his concubine contentedly.
"Your Majesty, let's wait until there is news about Tao'er!" The imperial concubine shook her head and refused, "Without news about Tao'er, I am really uneasy now."
"Okay, okay!" the palace agreed dotingly, "Let's wait for the news together!"
After successfully quelling the emperor's thoughts, the imperial concubine stood up and got a cup of tea for the emperor, but she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
snort! Women are very vindictive! I haven’t forgotten how you ignored me before. Now you still want to touch me these days? Beautiful thought! Let me wait until my anger subsides!
