Today's emperor was born in a prosperous age, and all he accepts are benevolent, filial, and respectful relatives. His greatest wish is harmony between brothers and peace in the world. The matter of King Jiangnan has already made his heart ache. Now that Prince Rui is added, I'm afraid...
What's more, everything is still unclear, Prince Rui and the emperor are about the same age, Prince Rui's mother and concubine died young, and they were raised under the empress dowager's paint, and they are the closest brothers to the emperor. If it were not for the current enthronement, Prince Rui would have to go far to the fiefdom, and their relationship would even be closer than the Ninth Prince.
This is also the reason why Prince Rui murdered and set fire to the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and even attacked him, but the Ninth Prince did not pursue it personally, but let the emperor watch over him to deal with it.
In the end, the Ninth Prince was repaying his kindness, repaying the emperor for taking extra care of him for so many years.
Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Ting and Zhao Hua looked at each other, and both let out a sigh of relief.
Meow, this is the first time she set fire, but it's a pity that she didn't participate in it, it was really cheap for those two brats.
No, next time you must do it yourself.
Here, they had just left Prince Rui's mansion when the people sent by the Ninth Prince came, Xiao Ting heard the commotion outside and someone talking, they quickly closed their eyes and pretended to be asleep.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Hong Shao walked in to take a look inside, and then asked, "Princess and princess, what's wrong?"
Immediately someone outside said it according to what Prince Rui said, and Hong Shao expressed his gratitude, then he lowered the curtain and let the coachman drive away.
Seeing the carriage go far away, Xiao Ting sat up and asked Hong Shao, "Why are you here? Have Xiao Shi and Xiao Yun gone back?"
Hong Shao looked at her displeasedly, "Princess, do you remember what I promised my servant? You drank and ran around after all. If something happens, what should I do, servant!"
Very wronged.
Xiao Ting was embarrassed by the words, and said with a laugh: "Well, I drank too much in the afternoon, this, this is the wrong door."
Zhaohua was amused by her, lay down beside her, and said, "Ting'er, your reason is very strong, haha... This is the first time this princess has seen a maid who dares to control the master, Hong Shao, you are amazing."
Only then did Hong Shao realize that there were outsiders here, and immediately lowered his head, he said, "The princess promised the servant that she will tell the servant no matter where she goes in the future."
Also, you walked too far by the wrong door, from one side of the imperial city to the other, so you can find a reliable person to lie!
"Well, how do you know that I'm in Prince Rui's Mansion?" At the time of discussion, there were only four of them.
But when I think of Ah San and Ah Si following along, I understand.
Sure enough, the red spoon said nonchalantly, with an unnatural expression on his face: "It was the prince who asked the servants to pick you up and the princess, and also asked the servants to bring you something."
"What?"
They were lying down just now and didn't pay attention to the things in Hong Shao's hands, but now they realized that she was carrying a black bundle, and after opening it, both of them were a little dumbfounded.
It turned out to be two jars of wine.
It is bigger than the jar in the afternoon.
Facing the suspicious gazes of his own concubine and Princess Zhaohua, Hong Shao bit the bullet and said: "The prince said, this is for you and the princess, drink it, and send you to the palace after drinking."
"Nani?"
"What?"
Xiao Ting and Zhaohua bounced in an instant, followed by two more 'ouch'!
But he forgot where he was and bumped his head.
Hong Shao nodded fiercely, and said: "When the servant came out, the prince sent someone into the palace to report."
"Uncle Nine Kings, I hate you." Zhaohua sat back with a look of lovelessness on his face. The emperor must know that she is dead.
Xiao Ting was similar, "Can I not go?"
"Impossible." An old man's voice came from outside, Xiao Ting lifted the curtain and saw that at some point, the driver had been replaced by Butler Mu.
"This concubine doesn't match up with the imperial palace!"
"This princess finally knows why Uncle Jiu Wang brought us wine."
Xiao Ting was puzzled, "If you're drunk, you don't have to deal with their interrogation, do you?"
"Hehe..." Zhaohua smiled forcedly at her, "Uncle Nine Kings must have blamed this princess for leading you into trouble and taught you to drink. Uncle Nine Kings, you are too cruel!"
"Hmph, just drink, who is afraid of whom?" After listening to Xiao Ting, she also knew that what she did did not escape the eyes of that cheap husband, so she also went all out at once, holding the jar with Zhaohua, shouting toast.
When they arrived at the palace, the Ninth Prince was already in the imperial study.
The emperor heard that Zhaohua was arrested by the thieves, and hurriedly called the Ninth Prince into the palace, and the Ninth Prince and Prince Rui entered the palace together.
Prince Rui reported the incident to the Emperor, and the Emperor heard that his most beloved daughter had returned to the palace, so he hurriedly asked someone to bring her in.
"Your majesty, princess, the princess is drunk, and the ministers dare not do anything." The people who reported back wanted to die, the princess was drunk and drunk, they dared not go over.
"Drink? Drunk? Where is she, I'll go and see."
The emperor was frightened, and looked at the Ninth Prince, who shook his head to express that he didn't know anything.
The moon was in the sky, and the stars were dotted with stars. On the roof outside the imperial study room, two girls danced against the wind, humming a little tune, and danced like elves under the moonlit night.
It was an extremely beautiful picture, but the voice humming a ditty suddenly became louder, and a burst of howling ghosts and wolves poured out, resounding throughout the palace.
And the dancing posture became messy, like a lunatic.
This lunatic is naturally Xiao Ting, she got carried away and danced a modern dance.
"This, this..." The emperor also stammered, seeing his daughter like this for the first time, he was dumbfounded at first, and then angry.
"Your Majesty, when I see the princess, the princess is a little drunk." Prince Rui took the opportunity to step forward and said.
The implication is that the Ninth Prince condoned the princess and instigated the princess to drink.
The Ninth Prince stood there indifferently, his eyes were deep, and there was a brilliance flashing in his eyes.
"Ninth brother, do you know?"
"I don't know." Then he turned to look at Prince Rui, cupped his hands and said, "This time I have to thank Brother Rui, if you hadn't saved them, the consequences would have been disastrous."
Prince Rui had big eyebrows and big eyes, he seemed to be honest, but actually he was shrewd, he heard that it was his job.
The emperor ignored the politeness between them, watching the two women yelling and shouting on the rooftop, his worried heart slowly turned into anger.
Afterwards, they didn't let anyone take care of them, and turned around and entered the imperial study.
He asked Prince Rui and the Ninth Prince what they thought of this matter, and sent the imperial city garrison to patrol the city overnight, arresting any suspicious persons immediately.
Ever since, the three of them conducted a deep and heavy analysis of this farce started by Xiao Ting and led by the Ninth Prince.
Half an hour still did not discuss why.
As for the daring thieves who dared to kidnap the Ninth Concubine and Princess Zhaohua, they had no goals.
At this moment, Yuchi Xinhan walked in, with an angry look on his face, "My lord, something is wrong."
Seeing that Yuchi was disappointed, the emperor didn't even salute him, which shows the urgency of the matter.
"What happened?"
Yuchi felt chilled, as if he remembered where he was now, he hurriedly saluted the emperor, and then said, "Shizi Yun and the young master of Uncle Xiao's family are missing."
"Missing?" The Ninth Prince stood up first, with a serious face, and asked, "What's going on?"
Prince Rui watched the show from the sidelines, it seemed that the Ninth Prince had offended quite a few people, and let others do the work, he just watched from the sidelines.
Yuchi was heartbroken, and said: "It turns out that after the concubine and the princess were taken away, everyone was only looking for them, but they didn't find that Shizi Yun and the young master were not there. Just now, the housekeeper heard the report from the maid, saying that they haven't come back yet."
"After asking, I found out that the princess and the princess were playing around in the back garden with the two young masters."
"Have you ever looked for it in the mansion?" The Ninth Prince said, and walked out.
"I've searched all over, but I found out that something was wrong when I couldn't find it, so I reported it quickly."
Yuchi looked at the emperor with chills, and the emperor stopped the Ninth Prince, "Ninth Brother, don't panic."
He knew that the Ninth Prince was most concerned about Chu Yun, so he immediately tried to persuade him, "Don't worry, they are together, will they be thrown together? Did Prince Rui say just now that the Ninth Princess and Zhao Hua were found in your residence?"
Prince Rui was dumbfounded, then nodded, what does it matter to him
Yuchi slapped his head in dismay, and said: "By the way, why didn't I expect that I also asked the emperor to issue an order to allow me to bring people to Prince Rui's mansion to look for it."
"I'm sure, let's go!" Seeing that the eyes of the Ninth Prince became more and more condensed, the emperor couldn't delay.
Yuchi waved his fists and retreated in dismay, while the Ninth Prince walked out without looking back. Before he left, he glanced at the two drunken women on the rooftop.
In the imperial study room, before Prince Rui realized what the situation was, the fire burned to his house.
When he came back to his senses, he suddenly remembered that Cheng Yunyi was still in the mansion, his face changed drastically, and he quickly got up, "I'll go back and have a look, so I can help."
The emperor waved his hand, "Go! I really don't want to worry about this big night."
After Prince Rui left, the emperor didn't bother to read the booklets, he went out of the imperial study and saw Zhao Hua and Xiao Ting still screaming there.
Now I have a headache, this Zhaohua was quite normal before, although he was a bit naughty in the palace, but he is still a lady of the family after all, it seems that since he got mixed up with this Miss Xiao Liu, he has never done a reliable thing.
No, it was Miss Xiao Liu who never did anything reliable, not his daughter.
His daughter was spoiled by Xiao Ting.
But thinking of Chu Yun's disappearance, it's an eyesore to see these two guys again.
"Come on, go up and wake them up."
It's all these two drunkards, if they didn't drink, how could so many things happen.
I hope I didn't bring those two little ones to drink, otherwise I wouldn't spare them.
The palace people rushed to invite the imperial physician, and it took an hour to arrest them and give them hangover soup.
There was a scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping on the roof, plus howling wolves and ghosts, and the sound of magic, the whole palace was not peaceful.
All the masters of the palace came to check, and when they saw the emperor's ashen face, they didn't dare to go up to ask, and went back to the palace in despair.
Finally, it is said that after the Ninth Princess and Princess Zhaohua woke up, the emperor ordered them to face the direction of the imperial mausoleum, kneel on the roof, and plead guilty to their ancestors until sunrise.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Ting really woke up from the wine, but she couldn't turn her head around for a while.
After hearing a soft shout, "Kneel down!"
As soon as the two turned their heads, they saw that His Majesty the Emperor, who was busy with everything, was sitting on the side watching the moon.
