A layer of cold sweat broke out on Si Nan's forehead. He had not had time to report to Xiao Yanjun about Su Qianle's disappearance.
That incident happened on the way to the court in the morning. After leaving the court, Xiao Yanjun went to the Jade Palace, and then left the palace with a calm and gloomy face. How dare he speak at that time.
Originally, he thought of waiting until he returned home before reporting the matter, but at that moment, Kong Changhui blocked him here and asked for someone.
Xiao Yanjun turned to look at Si Nan with a suspicious look on his face. He thought that Si Nan was worried that Su Qianle would retaliate and deliberately did not want to make friends with him. He found this excuse and looked at him to indicate that he did not have to worry too much. If Kong Changhui asked, he would give the person to him. He is.
Si Nan's heart sank, and he bowed to him and reported: "Your Majesty, Miss Su was kidnapped when she was ugly. My subordinates only learned the news early in the morning, and were about to send someone to report to Dali Temple. But Dali Temple came early to ask for someone."
Kong Changhui put away his smile and waved his sleeves: "What do the guards mean by this? Could it be that our Dali Temple officials went to your house and kidnapped people? Are the thieves shouting "catch the thief?"
Si Nan cursed in his heart. Even if he wasn't caught by an official from Dali Temple, Kong Changhui must have known about it. Otherwise, why did Dali Temple come so promptly? But he still had to say against his will: "Master Kong, you are overthinking it."
Xiao Yanjun listened to their words that contained guns and sticks, and then he realized that Su Qianle was really lost.
It's one thing that he's not afraid of Su Qianle's retort, but it's another thing if she loses it.
Although Xiao Yanjun was very dissatisfied with Si Nan's dereliction of duty, he still scolded Kong Changhui with a cold face at this moment: "Master Kong, Su Qianle lost you and instead of catching the thief, you came to the king to ask for someone. What does it mean? Could it be that this king’s Prince Yu’s Mansion hid her?”
"Prince Yu, you are overthinking it." Although Kong Changhui said this, his face looked like it was not something you were hiding.
Xiao Yanjun gritted his teeth, endured it for a while, turned around and left with a puff of sleeves.
Unexpectedly, Xie Jiming called out again: "Prince Yu, please stay."
Xiao Yanjun couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and walked angrily to Xie Jiming, pointed at him and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
When the palace maids and eunuchs passing by saw this scene, they all looked panicked, lowered their heads and whispered, and stepped up their pace for fear of being angered by Wu Gu.
"Wei Chen would like to congratulate Prince Yu on his upcoming wedding in three days. These are all the regulations of the Ministry of Rites for that day. I hope Prince Yu will review them." Xie Jiming took out the seal from his arms and handed it to him.
"Do I still need to worry about such a trivial matter? What do you, the Ministry of Etiquette, do for food?" Xiao Yanjun cursed angrily and left again.
"It's related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. It's not a trivial matter." Xie Jiming said as he followed with Kong Changhui.
Xiao Yanjun heard him chattering behind him, and then turned around to see the two of them following him ghostly. He cursed angrily: "Are you two done?"
Xie Jiming and Kong Changhui looked at each other and said innocently: "Prince Yu, we are leaving the palace, won't you let us go?"
Xiao Yanjun was speechless for a moment as he was teased. His sleeves and robes flew up again, and he flicked them away before leaving.
In order to get away from the two people behind him, he tightened his steps, but Kong Changhui and Ji Ming followed him all the way with a distance of two feet behind him, as if on purpose.
Until he left the palace gate, he saw the crowd of people gathered there again. Xie Jiming and Kong Changhui strolled out and sarcastically said to him: "Prince Yu is indeed deeply loved by the people..."
In the crowd, as if to match Xie Ji Ming's words, someone cursed at Xiao Yanjun: "You are seeking fame and reputation to frame Zhongliang."
Then there were echoes one after another, and overwhelming insults were directed towards Xiao Yanjun.
Kong Changhui took a few steps in the direction of Xiao Yanjun and blocked the way. Xiao Yanjun was wondering why he had changed his temper when he heard him suppressing the voices of the people, coughing and saying: "I testified at Dali Temple before. I believe everyone still has an impression of Su Qianle. Now she has disappeared mysteriously in the residence of the Imperial Guard. I hope everyone will pay more attention to her. Dali Temple will interrogate her again."
The common people were stunned when they heard this, and someone suddenly said: "They must have hidden it themselves, hand it over!"
Then came endless echoes: "Hand it over!"
Xiao Yanjun and Si Nan looked at Kong Changhui resentfully at the same time, but they were forced back by the people.
Finally, the guard battalion was dispatched to forcibly stop the crowd. Xiao Yanjun was able to get on the carriage, but the people continued to chase after him to condemn him.
Xiao Yanjun's journey back home was very embarrassing...
Kong Changhui and Ji Ming looked at Xiao Yanjun who was running away. They looked at each other and smiled, saluted each other, and then parted ways.
Kong Changhui felt sleepy all the way back to Dali Temple in the carriage. He stayed there until midnight last night. When Xiao Mubai came back and chatted with him again, Yincai left the stone room to wash up and hurried there. Go to court.
He also didn't sleep all night. After getting off the carriage and returning to the temple, he was about to go to the small courtyard to catch up on his sleep, but the Yamen official sent word that someone was visiting.
Kong Changhui went out to take a look, and then he realized that there was an elegant young master standing in the snow.
I saw Xu Wenlan wearing a warm orange brocade robe and a black cloak. Under the morning sun, just standing there quietly, he was also very graceful and noble.
He stepped forward to greet you and bowed: "You must have been drinking until late last night. Why did you come here so early?"
Xu Wenlan laughed out loud: "Who else could it be because of?"
Kong Changhui understood in his heart, but there was a hint of embarrassment on his face: "His Royal Highness King Mo slept very late last night, and I'm afraid he hasn't gotten up yet."
Xu Wenlan waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, you just need to lead the way and I will go in by myself."
Kong Changhui saw his insistent expression and knew that he still remembered Lan Yuying, so he sighed and bowed to him.
Seeing the tired look on his face, Xu Wenlan followed him and joked: "You didn't come back to drink last night, why didn't you get a good rest?"
Kong Changhui shook his head helplessly and smiled at him: "Who else could it be because of?"
Xu Wenlan looked startled, then laughed out loud.
"That's the stone room in front of you. I'll tell the jailer to come out on your own after chatting. I have to catch up on my sleep so I won't send you off." Kong Changhui said goodbye to him.
Xu Wenlan took a look and saw that there was a big lock hanging on the door of the stone room, so she quickly grabbed him and said, "Go and order the door to be opened."
Kong Changhui clicked his tongue and whispered in his ear: "His Royal Highness King Mo has the key..."
Xu Wenlan's face was startled. Kong Changhui had already pulled away. He shouted at Kong Changhui's back: "Hey, don't leave. If he doesn't open it for me..."
The pace of Kong Changhui's feet was a little faster, and he waved his hand behind his back: "That means he doesn't want to see you, and I can't help it..."
