The guards who searched finally entered Concubine Rong's bedroom. Every room, every corner, every box, and even the mezzanine of every clothes were carefully searched.
Behind a big tree outside the wall, King Yin came out without a trace. Along the way, avoiding the patrolling guards, he came to the gate of the palace.
The situation was much worse than he had imagined. Everyone who left the palace, regardless of their status or position, had to be searched by the guards, even the carriage.
Under such a rigorous search, the wedding dress on King Yin's body obviously couldn't be hidden.
King Yin frowned solemnly, and was thinking about how to sneak out of the palace, when the guards guarding the gate found him.
"My lord!" A guard bowed his hands.
The rest of the people also looked over and saluted respectfully.
King Yin is not favored among the princes, but he is still the emperor's son if he is not favored. Now that he has joined the Ministry of War, he has become one of the few princes who control the real power. Naturally, they are not the guards who can afford to offend him.
After everyone saluted, the headed guard trotted over: "My lord, are you going to leave the palace?"
King Yin said without changing his expression: "No, this king heard that Father's things were stolen, and he is helping Father to find them. Do you have any hairstyles here?"
The guards were stunned, apparently stunned by King Yin's words, they hadn't heard that the emperor had sent others to look for them, but King Yin didn't need to lie, presumably the emperor ordered Yin Wang after they left, right
The guard clasped his hands and said, "If you go back to the prince, not yet."
King Yin coughed lightly, and said sternly: "Then I will go to other places to look for it, you all keep an eye on it, and don't let the assassin escape."
The guard looked serious: "Yes! This subordinate takes orders!"
King Yin left the place expressionlessly.
After walking to a rockery not far away, he quietly looked at the situation here, and saw that the search became more and more stringent. Those officials who left the palace even lost their boots and full clothes to the guards. As for the maids and their relatives, There are also special nuns who set up a small shed for body searches.
Not to mention a wedding dress, I'm afraid I won't be able to take out even a single thread.
If people find out that Concubine Rong is hiding her old wedding dress, Concubine Rong will inevitably be accused of adultery, which is not what he wants to see.
On the other side, another patrolling guard came over, and that group of people ran into a few old censors along the way, blocked the old censors halfway and started searching.
Seeing that the situation was not good, King Yin turned around and walked into the side path, walking along the palace wall all the way to the sparsely populated inner lake.
Just halfway through, I heard a low exclamation: "Ouch!"
This sound... faintly familiar.
"Help... help—help—"
King Yin didn't want to make troubles, he paused for a short while, and left in big strides.
"Help... help-help-"
King Yin's eyes moved, he hesitated for a while, then turned and walked towards a dry well not far away, the voice came from here.
He stood by the well, looked down at the person at the bottom of the well, and said in a low tone, "No wonder it sounds so familiar. It turned out to be the queen. Why did the queen fall to the bottom of the well?"
Queen Yeluo sat on the ground, supported a painful leg, and said aggrievedly: "I don't know how I fell, I just... I was walking on the road... I suddenly passed out, when I wake up Come right here...my leg seems to be broken...it hurts..."
Could it be that he met an assassin
Something flashed across King Yin's face. Hearing her cry of pain, King Yin was a little upset, collected himself, and said, "I can save the queen, as long as the queen agrees to do me a favor."
Prince Yin originally thought she would ask what she was doing, but she nodded without saying a word.
King Yin said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that what I asked you to do is not a good thing?"
Queen Yeluo raised her head and smiled sweetly: "I will help you with bad things!"
Prince Yin's temples twitched.
"Hurry up and save me up, it's too cold down there." Queen Ye Luo said.
King Yin found a bundle of ropes from a nearby flower house, and pulled Queen Yeluo up.
As soon as Queen Yeluo stood on the ground, she gasped in pain: "My leg..."
King Yin frowned: "Offended."
After finishing speaking, he bent down and squeezed her right leg, "The queen's leg is fine, it should only be a skin trauma."
Queen Yeluo: "Oh."
King Yin took out the wedding dress from his wide sleeves, turned around, handed it to Queen Ye Luo with his backhand and said: "Please wear this dress under the coat."
Queen Yeluo looked at the bright red cloth in her hand and said in amazement: "This is your wedding dress from the Central Plains, right? It's so beautiful! Why do you have a wedding dress? Who did you give it to?"
"No comment." Prince Yin said coldly.
Queen Yeluo: "Oh."
King Yin turned his back and waited for a long time, but there was no movement behind him. He realized something, turned around suddenly, and saw Queen Yeluo focusing on buttoning the last button.
"Okay!" Queen Ye Luo clapped her hands, raised her eyebrows and smiled at King Yin, caught a glimpse of the expression on his face that he didn't have time to take back, Queen Ye Luo's face darkened, "Why? Are you afraid that I will run away? "
King Yin denied it flatly: "No, let's go."
After walking a few steps, he found that Diu Fang hadn't followed, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Queen Yeluo glanced at him and said weakly, "I can't walk."
King Yin's mouth twitched: "What does the queen do in the palace?"
Queen Yeluo said: "I went to the palace to pick up Qiaoling, but suddenly passed out."
King Yin looked at more and more guards, and said solemnly: "Don't pick up today, otherwise things will change later, hurry out of the palace."
Queen Yeluo twisted her fingers: "But I can't walk."
King Yin handed his hand to Queen Ye Luo.
Queen Yeluo looked at the hand he offered, her eyes lit up, she walked over lamely, and jumped onto his back!
King Yin: "..."
Can't you walk
You can jump!
Queen Yeluo hugged King Yin's neck happily, turned her head and looked at him with crooked eyes: "Have I seen you before?"
Prince Yin said coldly: "Of course I have."
Queen Yeluo: "Where is it?"
King Yin said: "At the royal banquet."
Queen Yeluo was disappointed: "You are talking about Zhaoming."
"Aren't you Zhaoming?" King Yin asked strangely.
Queen Ye Luo didn't speak anymore, she hugged his neck and lay on his shoulder listlessly.
Such a posture is a bit too intimate, and King Yin is not used to it: "Queen...princess, are you like this..."
"What?" King Yeluo asked in a low voice, with a hint of repressed grievance in his voice.
King Yin hesitated to speak, took a breath and said, "It's nothing."
Queen Ye Luo hugged him even tighter.
King Yin: "..."
After walking for a while, King Yin stopped behind a rockery near the palace gate. The woman on his back was almost weightless, but when he thought that she was Ye Luo's queen and Ji Mingxiu's biological mother, he felt a surge of pain in his heart. Unspeakable displeasure: "It's here, and it should be seen by others."
Reluctantly, Queen Yeluo jumped off his back, and walked towards the palace gate step by step.
"Queen." King Yin stopped her.
Queen Ye Luo turned around in surprise: "What's the matter?"
King Yin said calmly: "You are not allowed to be searched."
"oh."
Queen Yeluo curled her lips in disappointment, and silently walked towards the guards who were searching.
All the guards knew her "double" identity, and saluted very respectfully: "Queen!"
Queen Yeluo waved her hand and said bluntly: "Get out of the way, I want to leave the palace."
The leading guard said: "Report to the queen, the emperor's belongings have been stolen. If you want to leave the palace, you must conduct a body search first."
A nanny with good eyesight came over with a smile on her face: "Your maidservant greets the queen, and the queen please come here with your servant."
"What are you here for?" Queen Ye Luo asked lightly.
Mammy smiled and said, "Search, Queen."
Queen Yeluo's eyes flashed, and she took out the posture of a queen and said, "Do you suspect that this palace stole the emperor's things?"
Mammy was so startled, she looked at the guard beside her anxiously, and the guard hurriedly said, "The slaves didn't mean that, it's just that the emperor issued an order that everyone must be interrogated, and the emperor's own bedroom was also searched." Woolen cloth!"
Queen Yeluo said coldly: "I don't like people touching me! Don't hold me with your dirty hands!"
"This..." Mammy and the leading guard looked at each other.
Queen Yeluo walked to another row of guards who were waiting in full formation, picked one at random, and said, "You, yes, it's you! Go tell the emperor, and say that those two people want to search me! Bengong is very angry, Bengong I want to chop off their heads!"
The leading guards and nuns fell to their knees on the ground with two thumps in fright.
They don't know whether the emperor will insist on searching Princess Zhaoming's body, but in order to please the princess, their head is definitely not safe.
Who made the emperor really hurt this princess to the bone!
The two kowtowed their heads on the ground: "The little one knows his mistake! The little one knows his mistake! Please forgive me, princess!"
Even the name has changed, it can be seen that I am really scared.
"Still searching?" Queen Yeluo asked word by word.
The two hurriedly shook their heads!
Queen Yeluo said: "Hurry up and get out of the way!"
The two of them walked away in a hurry!
Queen Yeluo swaggered out of the palace gate, but just as she stepped out, Qiao Wei came here with a maid.
