Have to keep an inch.
No matter how angry Zhong Jinyan was at the moment, the officials did not dare to back down. Zhong Jinyan also knew that they were loyal, but both Guan Tian and Zhong Heng went to look for Zhuo Yu, and he could only sit here and wait for the result... Zhong Jinyan's heart was extremely tormented. He even thought for a moment that it was fine for Guan Tian to ignore etiquette like this.
This wait is half a day.
It was already midnight, and the group returned to the mansion with a sullen face. Everyone knows that this means that Empress Dowager Zhuo could not be found. Clouds soon covered the entire mansion.
Zhong Jinyan was even more annoyed.
It was just an assassination, but it led to such serious consequences. Now everyone is a soldier, and when there is trouble, they are extremely nervous.
What is the royal face
How has the royal family ever been so useless
Zhong Heng is not much better at this time. He does not have much power in his hands. Although he used to operate his own business, it is still not enough to watch at this time. His growth time is still too short.
In comparison, Guan Tian has more power at his disposal. The people under him are all elites. Even in the middle of the night, after Guan Tian took a short rest, he immediately took them out to look for them again. Originally, the officials were still angrily scolding Guan Tian for being absurd. But at this time nothing could be said.
Can you say that it is wrong to save the queen mother? Of course not.
At this time, you have to praise people for their loyalty!
…
The horse has run back and forth three times down this street.
The entourage whispered: "My lord, I really didn't find anything."
Guan Tian frowned, his expression cold and stern: "This person is fast enough, quick enough to react, and a veteran of stealing chickens and dogs. Even the aftermath has been done so flawlessly."
The entourage whispered: "Then what shall we do?"
"Keep looking." Guan Tian said.
The entourage is slightly stunned, haven't all clues been erased? Since the prince knows that they can't find it, why should they continue to look for it
Guan Tian frowned and drove his horse forward. Seeing that his master looked like this, none of his subordinates dared to say rest, not even a word of complaint.
That night, the whole city did not rest well. They walked sleeplessly listening to the sound of the hooves, and it seemed that some people had been knocked out for questioning.
On the second day, someone knew that he had lost a person, and he was still an amazing person! - It is the sweetheart of the King Xiao!
Does King Xiao know? The living King of Hell who has overcome thorns and thorns on the battlefield!
His sweetheart is lost! That's great! No one dared to harbor that suspect!
In this small town, there was a lot of excitement.
These people listened to it as an after-dinner chat, but Zhong Jinyan couldn't do it, nor could the officials of the Great Lan Dynasty do the same.
"King Xiao, how can you publicize that it's your sweetheart who lost it?" A civil official said angrily.
Guan Tian's face was dark and dark, with a little bloodshot under his eyes, and he looked a little terrifying. However, these officials were used to quarreling with Guan Tian, so they were not too afraid to see him like this.
Guan Tian said coldly: "If you don't say so, do you want to say that the queen mother is lost? Isn't it a joke? Even the queen mother can be lost, and I'm afraid that the emperor will be lost someday."
The civil servant blushed with anger: "That shouldn't be said..."
"It's impossible to hide such a high-profile search. Why don't we just find a reasonable excuse. Don't underestimate those people. We can't find much, and maybe some of them can give useful clues." Guan Tianlan Said: "Adult has to embarrass me like this, don't you want the queen mother to be found?"
"You...you are talking nonsense..."
Zhong Jinyan looked at the eloquent civil servant, his throat was blocked by the weather, and he almost suffocated himself to death. Zhong Jinyan raised his head and rubbed his forehead. He also wanted to strangle Guan Tian, especially when the attendant had just told him that it was rumored that King Xiao's sweetheart had been lost, a burst of anger went straight to his forehead, making Zhong Jinyan want to slaughter Guan Tian immediately.
He took another step slower.
If it was faster, it was made up as his sweetheart, wouldn't it be the same!
Guan Tian patted his butt and got up, not entangled with them at all: "I will continue to find the queen mother."
Hang Qing, who they couldn't find anywhere, had just woken up at this time. He was pretending to be dizzy, but after closing his eyes for a long time, he became really sleepy without realizing it. Hang Qing fell asleep extremely simply.
When he smelled a faint aroma in his nose, Hang Qing's consciousness gradually became clear.
The aroma is very familiar, it's the smell of a flower, but Hang Qing really doesn't know the type of flower, so he can't tell what kind of flower it is. He propped up the bed and sat up, just as he could see a tall figure sitting in front of the Eight Immortals table with his back to him. A small cauldron was placed beside the table. The man was throwing petals into the small cauldron. It was obviously a bit of a mother-in-law's action, but it was up to him. Do it, but just right.
The man heard the voice and clapped his palms.
The door was opened, and a middle-aged man walked in. The middle-aged man carefully placed the water and face towel in front of Hang Qing.
This is the next person.
However, when Hang Qing looked at the man, he always felt a little familiar, but after thinking about where the familiarity came from, he couldn't figure it out.
The servant turned around and walked out, and when he reached the door, he turned around and closed the door. Hang Qing found something familiar about him in an instant.
He looked like a brother, and like a brother who had been served in the palace. The servants in the palace and the servants serving people outside are too different in behavior. Hang Qing is surrounded by servants and has never been in contact with any servants, so he didn't react for a while.
Could it be that the one who kidnapped him was really King Zhong
Only those around the prince could use people from the palace.
The man turned around, and he still wore the human skin mask on his face. Seeing this face early in the morning, Hang Qing felt that his appetite was a little damaged. Hang Qing turned his face and hesitated whether to lie down and sleep for a while.
Hang Qing doesn't like being taken the initiative by others, so he won't ask who the man is, and he won't let the man take the lead.
There must be a purpose for the man to tie him here, so wait for the man to expose himself.
When the man saw Hang Qing lowered his eyebrows, his expression was light, as if he was thinking about something. No matter what he was thinking about, at least the other party's actions at the moment showed that he had never looked at himself. This makes the man somewhat unpleasant. At this time, someone came knocking on the door.
The man let the people outside come in.
Hang Qing looked up and found that it was the assassin who had been let go before.
The assassin's eyes widened when he saw Hang Qing. He probably didn't expect to see Hang Qing again at his master's place so quickly.
The man gave the assassin a cold look and ordered the assassin to be taken down. The assassin struggled suddenly and shouted loudly: "This subordinate has something to say! Why did the subordinate miss it, it's all because he met the Empress Dowager Zhuo!" As the assassin said, he looked in Hang Qing's direction.
Hang Qing was slightly surprised.
It turned out that the assassin reported this to the man. Then, when the man kidnapped him, he didn't know that the assassin had escaped. The man was eyeing him early in the morning, so he took him so quickly.
The man suddenly looked at Hang Qing, and then he waved away the others, leaving only the assassin.
The assassin swallowed hard, and then, through the desire for life in his heart, he told all his experiences at once.
After the man heard this, his expression did not change.
The assassin was apprehensive, gritted his teeth and said, "This subordinate still has something to report."
"Say."
"My subordinates found out that King Xiao Guantian actually had a crush on Empress Dowager Zhuo. It's unforgivable!"
Hang Qing: …
He is not the property of this man, and Guan Tian loves him, how can it be unforgivable
Hang Qing couldn't help but look at the man.
The man's expression was cold, and his facial features were even more ugly and weird. The man was really angry. Hang Qing has no doubts about this, the aura on a man cannot be ignored, and there is a man's anger mixed in it. But what is he so angry about
The man asked in a deep voice at this time: "What else?"
"Also... and the King of Yue who appeared inexplicably, seems to also treat the Empress Dowager..." Halfway through, the assassin dared not say more, probably because he also thought it was a bit ridiculous. Empress Dowager Zhuo's sons have become emperors, how can there still be inexplicable people who adore Empress Dowager Zhuo
Just one, there are two more.
The master wouldn't think he was lying, would he
"What else?" the man asked.
The assassin shook his head: "No, no more."
The aura on the man was terrifying, and he was obviously extremely dissatisfied with it.
This is a very possessive and domineering man. The power status of this person should not be low. It is very likely that it is King Zhong... If you take a closer look at the figure, it is also somewhat similar.
The man turned his head suddenly and looked at Hang Qing with a complicated expression: "it's more and more like a treasure."
The assassin sighed in his heart. Bet right.
Isn't this Empress Dowager Zhuo like a treasure in the heart of the master
The man asked again: "Among them, do you like any of them?"
Hang Qing already knew that the man had a close relationship with him, and there was probably a peach scandal in it. How could he still show who he has a crush on in front of men
Hang Qing said indifferently: "what if there is? What if there is no?"
The man sighed: "You weren't like this before."
Hang Qing's heart was tight, what did this man see
Judging from the man's tone, they should have known each other very early.
The man suddenly gave a low laugh again, with the charm of a mature man: "But now it's more pleasing."
Hang Qing looked at him coldly.
The man raised his hand, took off the mask on his face, and said in a low voice, "You never looked at me like this before. At that time, your eyes were all pitiful. It was like a bird would faint at any time. the little white rabbit."
Hang Qing thought about it, he and the little white rabbit are indeed a little too far away.
The human skin mask on the man's face was completely torn off, revealing the face underneath.
It was a handsome face.
Domineering sword eyebrows, straight nose bridge, thin lips and star eyes, the whole person is like an ancient sword unsheathed, with a heavy but sharp edge.
The corners of his eyes were covered with a few fine lines, which revealed his age. This man is not young anymore, but his perfect facial features and aura make up for it all. This is a rather charming mature male. His face looked familiar. Hang Qing reluctantly pulled out a face from Zhuo Yu's memory, which matched the face in front of him...
this person…
Hang Qing couldn't help frowning, it was impossible.
"Surprise?" the man asked. "I'm a little surprised that you didn't recognize me."
A memory belonging to Zhuo Yu popped into Hang Qing's mind, and the title in that memory also blurted out: "Your Majesty."
Yes, Your Majesty.
The man in front of him was Emperor Ningde who should have died early.
No wonder the man regarded him as his property, and when he heard that someone dared to do something to him, his anger rose immediately. A once majestic founding emperor, naturally, could not tolerate such a provocation. No normal man can put a green hat on his head.
"It turns out that Azhuo has not forgotten me." The man smiled, but his expression was not very pleasant.
Of course he wasn't happy.
Although he should be a dead man, he still feels furious when he thinks of so many people coveting him.
If he hadn't already known what kind of person Zhuo Yu was, he would have wondered whether Zhuo Yu and Jiang Rong took the same path.
Hang Qing is not afraid of Emperor Ningde, no matter how powerful he is.
After all, Emperor Ningde is only a human no matter how powerful he is, and he has faced the most powerful Alpha, and he has also dealt with Specter. What does Emperor Ningde count? Hang Qing was so calm in front of him that he wasn't even afraid of Emperor Ningde's suspicion that he had resurrected from a corpse. After all, the target of his strategy is not Emperor Ningde, Emperor Ningde can do whatever he likes.
But at this moment, Hang Qing finally completely confirmed that all the plots in this world have collapsed. As the system says, the characters and plots in these worlds gradually have their own consciousness, they begin to get rid of the author's brushstrokes, and they even gradually have their own logic, and the whole world is enriched little by little.
It's useless to rely on the original plot.
Hang Qing was slightly lost in thought.
Emperor Ningde didn't expect that Zhuo Yu would dare to distract himself in front of him, and he felt annoyed at the same time, but a little funny at the same time. Such magnanimity is indeed Zhuo Yu's temperament. Zhuo Yu was timid, but he never flinched. Otherwise, he would not have let Zhuo Yu be the queen.
"Azhuo." Emperor Ningde shouted.
Only then did Hang Qing raise his head and give Emperor Ningde a look.
Emperor Ningde felt a little unspeakable loss, he whispered: "Aren't you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?" Hang Qing asked rhetorically. He has nothing to fear.
But these words fell in the ears of Emperor Ningde, but they were automatically interpreted by Emperor Ningde. This is Hang Qing's trust in him. Because trusting him will not hurt him, he is not afraid. The taste in Emperor Ningde's heart was slightly complicated.
He whispered: "Azhuo, you don't have to go back to the palace for the time being."
Hang Qing frowned, and then he was in the mood to ask, "what are you going to do?"
Emperor Ningde said lightly: "Azhuo, Jinyan is not my son, and he cannot sit on the throne."
There was a huge wave of horror in Hang Qing's heart. Does Emperor Ningde know? Did he already know? But it's not surprising when you think about it. Who is Emperor Ningde? Who is Zhuo Yu? No matter how careful Zhuo Yu is, the entire palace is in the hands of Emperor Ningde after all, and Emperor Ningde didn't say it doesn't mean he doesn't know.
Emperor Ningde looked at Hang Qing with interest at this time and said, "I know that you have a good heart and raised children for Jiang Rong. I will not hold you accountable for this matter."
Hang Qing: …
Emperor Ningde whispered: "I can also look at you and save Zhong Jinyan's life."
Hang Qing couldn't help interrupting him: "do you want to revive the corpse?"
Wouldn't it be nice to be quiet and be dead
Why do people who are dead in the original plot still show up to make people worry
Emperor Ningde didn't care about Hang Qing's rude and straightforward questioning. After all, no one knows Zhuo Yu's origin better than him. It's not surprising that Zhuo Yu always speaks like this.
"This is natural. Without my bloodline inheriting the great lineage, I will have to go back again. Azhuo is very young, and it will not be difficult for me to have a blood-connected child in the future..."
Hang Qing interrupted him blankly: "I can't give birth to a child."
Emperor Ning De was startled: "Huh?"
"Literally. I can't give birth." Hang Qing lifted his eyelids, "Also, you have a biological blood."
"Who?"
"Zhongzi."
"he… "
"Jiang Rong has never betrayed you." Hang Qing cut off his words coldly: "Okay, I'm done." Hang Qing thought about it and decided that it would be better to lie down and sleep. So Hang Qing slept again neatly.
Emperor Ningde, who had a closed door, was dumbfounded for a while.
"... Years have passed, and my temper has grown." Emperor Ningde whispered: "But it's more interesting."
Emperor Ningde stepped forward and lifted Hang Qing's quilt. Hang Qing was really startled and frowned and looked over. Emperor Ningde took out the dagger from his sleeve: "I gave it to you back then, but you still keep it. Azhuo is a long-term lover."
Hang Qing wanted to tell him.
You think too much.
Zhuo Yu was just too lazy to change, and he just happened to be too lazy to change.
Emperor Ningde was holding the dagger, and the expression on his face gradually softened.
Hang Qing: …
The door was knocked suddenly again.
Emperor Ningde's good memories were interrupted, and his face sank immediately.
"Guan Tian came here." The person outside the door said hoarsely.
