The two sides exchanged a few simple greetings, and soon separated.
After the prince and his party entered Yufu Palace, Hua Manman and Mrs. He glanced at each other, then quickened their pace and ran towards the palace gate.
The little eunuch in charge of leading the way didn't know why, so he hurriedly chased after him and reminded him.
"Madam, please slow down, random running is not allowed in the palace."
He casually found a reason for himself.
"My stomach hurts and I want to go home quickly."
The little eunuch hurriedly said: "Madam is sick? Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?"
Hua Manman said quickly: "This is my wife's old problem, don't bother the doctor, the lady just needs to go home and take some medicine, and rest for a while."
He echoed, "Yes, I have to go back and take the medicine quickly."
The two walked like flying while talking, but they had already walked a long way in a moment.
The little eunuch wondered why he could walk so fast since his stomach was uncomfortable? Doesn't look sick at all.
But considering He's identity, the little eunuch didn't dare to say anything, and could only follow behind them silently.
At the same time, Prince Li Qiong has already seen Concubine Zhen.
Concubine Zhen first asked about the prince's recent situation, and then asked him why he came.
Li Qiong replied truthfully: "My son learned that Li Xun's cousin is not in a good mood recently, so he came to visit him specially."
Concubine Zhen was very pleased.
"It seems that you have listened to Ben Gong's words. You have to get along well with Xun'er and treat him as your own brother. Only in this way can you be worthy of your deceased aunt."
Li Qiong nodded and replied: "Son, remember."
Concubine Zhen: "Go and see him, you are about the same age, you should have a lot to talk about."
Under the guidance of the maid, Li Qiong came to the door of the bedroom where Li Xun lived.
He knocked on the door.
Got no response.
The little eunuch guarding the door explained.
"My son is in a bad mood today, no matter who knocks on the door, he won't answer."
Li Qiong raised her hand to push the door, but unexpectedly found that the door was bolted from the inside.
He couldn't push the door open, so he could only ask people to look at the window.
The window was not bolted, and it opened with a little effort.
The little eunuch stood by the window and called his son twice, but still did not get any response.
From his angle, all he could see was the raised quilt.
It seems that Xiao Shizi should still be huddled in bed and sulking.
The little eunuch reported everything he saw to the prince.
Li Qiong ordered: "You turn in through the window and help Gu open the door."
The little eunuch hesitated.
"Will the son be angry?"
Xiao Shizi's temper was not very good, if he broke into his room without his permission, he would definitely lose his temper.
Li Qiong: "All the consequences will be borne by Gu, you just do what Gu says."
Hearing this, the little eunuch seemed to have taken a reassurance, and immediately began to carry out His Royal Highness's orders.
The little eunuch entered the house through the window.
For fear of disturbing Xiao Shizi, he deliberately tiptoed when walking.
He tiptoed and moved cautiously to the door, pulled the wooden bolt, and opened the door.
Li Qiong stepped over the threshold and strode into the house.
He saw the bulging quilt on the bed, serious and authentic.
"Cousin, I'm here to visit you alone."
The quilt was motionless.
Li Qiong received no response.
He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
"Gu knows that you are unhappy, but the mother concubine also kept you in the palace to protect you.
For this reason, the mother and concubine also made the queen mother unhappy, can't you be a little bit more considerate of the mother's concubine's good intentions? "
Still no response.
Li Qiong said a lot more.
But no matter what he said, the quilt never moved.
The excessive silence made Li Qiong feel that something was wrong.
He stepped forward, put his hand on the quilt, and gently pushed it down.
As a result, the palm sank directly into it.
Li Qiong's heart skipped a beat, this feeling is wrong!
He grabbed the quilt and flung it open.
But there was no one under the quilt, only two piled pillows.
Seeing this, everyone else in the room couldn't help but exclaim.
"The prince is gone!"
Li Qiong immediately turned her head, stared at the little eunuch and asked.
"Didn't you keep guarding the door? Why didn't the prince disappear?"
The little eunuch was so frightened that he shivered, his legs softened and he knelt down on the ground, crying.
"The servant doesn't know either! The servant has been guarding the door, and has never seen anyone go in, let alone anyone coming out of the house."
"waste!"
Li Qiong turned around angrily and walked away.
He ran to Concubine Zhen and told her about it.
Concubine Zhen was very surprised: "Xun'er disappeared? How is this possible?"
When she rushed to Li Xun's bedroom and saw the empty bed with her own eyes, she had to accept the reality.
Li Qiong looked around the house and analyzed.
"There is no trace of being turned over in the house, so it should not be thieves."
Concubine Zhen looked at the two pillows on the bed and said slowly.
"He also knows how to use a pillow to pretend that he is still there, which means that he was not taken away by someone, but left willingly. But he is only a child, and he cannot leave Yufu Palace with his strength alone. , someone must be secretly helping him.”
Li Qiong: "Who might Concubine Mother have met today?"
Concubine Zhen immediately thought of He Shi.
He has always wanted to take Li Xun away, could it be that she did it
Thinking of this, Concubine Zhen ordered immediately.
"Get someone to stop Mrs. Zhong Amber, and don't let him leave the palace!"
"Here!"
…
Hua Manman and He Shi almost felt the wind under their feet, and ran all the way to the vicinity of the palace gate.
The little eunuch who was following behind them has been thrown some distance away.
Taking advantage of the little eunuch not catching up, Hua Manman squeezed her throat and began to meow like a cat.
Meow meow meow!
Not long after the sound came out, a chubby three-colored cat jumped out from the side.
Behind it followed a little maid in a skirt.
When one person and one cat ran close, He could see the face of the little maid clearly, and was immediately overjoyed.
"God, why are you dressed like this?"
Li Xun held up the hem of his skirt, his little face was flushed, as if he had applied rouge,
He said in shame and indignation: "Didn't you make me dress like this!"
He is a man, but he actually wears a skirt, what a shame!
If this matter gets out, he will be ashamed to see his younger brothers again in the future!
Hua Manman said while laughing.
"It's not easy to be recognized when you dress up like this."
She caught up with the little eunuch who was in charge of leading the way, and hurriedly said.
"Stop talking, hurry up!"
In front was the palace gate, and the three of them only needed to walk a few hundred steps to leave the palace.
However, at this moment, there was a loud shout from behind.
"Close the palace gate and don't let them go!"
Hua Manman was startled, turned her head to follow the prestige, and found a group of people hurriedly coming here.
It seems that the target is her and He Shi.
