queen's captive gl

Chapter 2 Destiny Turning

At that time, in the summer of the 12th year of Xixi, the Imperial Palace Taisheng Hall.

"Idiot! At the beginning, it was said that the case would be solved within seven days, but the time limit has come and no clues have been found. Someone, drag these trash out and chop them up!"

Emperor Xixi Longyan was furious, and ordered the guards to drag the arresting officer down as a punishment.

Those who were also summoned to discuss matters were the prince with a different surname, Chun Yutai, and the highly respected prime minister, Si Wenjie. It is not surprising to see such a scene. This case is related to the lifeline of the royal family. No wonder the Holy One was furious and vented his anger a lot in the past few days. people.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Xixi flipped through a few memorials, all of which were reported jointly by relatives and relatives of the emperor, urging the case to be solved by the blood of the Feng family...

Throwing down the memorial impatiently, Emperor Xixi glanced at the two trusted ministers on the left and right, and said, "Do you two lovers have any new progress on this case?"

Si Wenjie was about to speak, but Chun Yutai snatched him a step forward. "Reporting to the emperor, I believe that there must be a large organization hidden behind the fact that you can make such a big move in the imperial city and dare to kill the children of the royal family. Half a year ago, my court promulgated the "Forbidden Martial Arts Order" and ordered the entire city to practice martial arts. The people pardoned and released outside the city, during which they were resisted by the villains and clashed, could it be that these villains harbored a grudge and waited for the opportunity to retaliate!"

Emperor Xixi pondered for a while, and said: "My lord's words are reasonable, but I underestimated this group of savage vulgar people. This case is not resolved, I will leave it to you, my lord. Once you find a martial arts practitioner, you will be detained and strictly guarded against it." , I will send another team of imperial guards at your disposal, and you must arrest the murderer for me as soon as possible."

Chunyu Taixing bowed his head with royal courtesy, and said: "I will definitely live up to the entrustment of the emperor, and do my best to investigate and deal with it."

At this time, Si Wenjie took a step forward: "Report to the emperor, according to the investigation of several cases in the past few days, I found that the time and place of committing crimes did not happen by accident, but regularly."

Emperor Xixi frowned slightly when he heard the words, his eyes sank, and he said, "Does Xiangye have evidence?"

Si Wenjie walked to the desk, opened a map of Kyoto, pointed to one of them and said, "Please look, Your Majesty, this is the place where the case first started - the residence of Prince Li in Beicheng. The masked man attacked; on the second day at the mansion of Prince Bao in the southwestern city, at the second quarter of the hour, the princes and close guards of the four counties were brutally castrated and their hamstrings were removed by the masked man; on the third day... the masked man attacked the royal children Together every day, there are different ways to hurt people or not."

Emperor Xixi's brows were furrowed in thought, he took a deep breath, picked up the sunspots in his pocket and dropped them on the picture one by one, wondering: "Isn't this going according to the Jiugong Formation?" He paused, then shook his head and said: " No, if this is based on the Jiugong Bagua, the pattern will be wrong!"

Si Wenjie smiled wryly and said: "I originally thought so too, but after Liangyou reminded me, the opponent just reversed the situation on the fifth day..." After finishing speaking, he picked up one of the chess pieces and continued: "On the fifth day, Shen Wei For a moment, the youngest son of King Ninggong fell into a deep well and became disabled, he didn't pay attention at the time, thinking it had nothing to do with it, but afterwards he found that it was far more than that simple!"

Chunyutai sneered and said, "Master Xiang, I heard that the youngest son of King Ning Gong made a mistake by himself, not by human will."

Si Wenjie said: "My lord doesn't know. According to the medical examination, the young master's limbs were disabled by beating with hard objects, and he was demented by drugs!"

Emperor Xixi slapped the table with his palm and said angrily: "Who is so bold and dares to challenge my majesty at the feet of the emperor? And who hates my royal descendants so cruelly? It's really outrageous!"

Si Wenjie shifted the chess pieces one by one, two and four are shoulders, six and eight are feet, three are left and seven are right, and nine are shoes.Re-executed one son, and said: "The eight palaces have been settled, no matter how the four Yang palaces and the four Yin palaces change, only the middle palace remains unchanged." The son falls in the middle, and that place is exactly on the central axis of the imperial city. , where the palace is located.

Emperor Xixi was terrified: "Could it be that... the murderer wants to harm me?"

"Bold! Dare to scare the emperor with no proof, but you know it's a crime of deceiving the emperor?" Chunyu Tai sternly scolded.

Si Wenjie resolutely said: "I have no deceitful words, let alone any intention to offend."

Emperor Xixi waved his hand, with a heavy expression, and said: "Master Xiang, but it's all right, I forgive you for your innocence."

Si Wenjie bowed and said: "I believe that the ultimate goal of the other party is not the emperor. It is because all the victims are under the age of sixteen, and they are younger brothers of the royal family. They intend to cut off the continuation of my royal blood. The goal of the palace... is the former emperor's descendant—Princess Hanyue."

As soon as this remark came out, Chun Yutai, who had always been confrontational with him, did not refute, because the importance of this little princess could not be ignored for him and even the court.The little princess is not only the only blood of the late emperor, but also one of the few pure blood of the Feng family.

For Emperor Xixi, Princess Hanyue is his niece, and his throne was inherited from her father. How to treat the only flesh and blood of the late emperor has become the standard for the court and even the whole country to flaunt his benevolence. Emperor Xixi is extremely scrupulous. !

Emperor Xixi looked solemn and said, "Does Xiangye have any countermeasures?"

Si Wenjie replied: "I heard that the masked man has high martial arts skills, and his lightness kung fu is even better. It must be no problem for him to break into the palace. The only way now is to transfer the princess to another place to avoid the trouble!"

"Oh? Is there any place in the world that is as safe as the heavily guarded palace?" Emperor Xixi couldn't believe it.

"Princess Hanyue was assassinated by an assassin in the palace. Although the danger was saved in the end, the vastness of the palace and the large population can be described as complicated, and it is really difficult to control." Si Wenjie sighed.

Emperor Xixi nodded and said: "What Xiangye said is very true, but the time is running out now, where is the best place to place the little princess?"

"Mu Mansion!" Si Wenjie expressed his thoughts.

This is a word that has been neglected for a long time.Ever since Mu Yueru entered the palace and gave birth to the little princess until her death, the Mu family had little contact with the imperial court.Since the three generations of the Mu family, there have been no males, and the descendants have died in battle one after another. Since Mu Xingyi, the general who protects the country, the title of general has never appeared again!

"I think my palace is better, and Princess Hanyue is my future daughter-in-law, so I have the responsibility to protect the princess!" Chunyutai said.

"The Mu Mansion is located on a high hill, easy to defend and difficult to attack. All the guards in the mansion have served in the military. They are strictly disciplined and loyal. They are highly skilled in martial arts and can fight ten against ten. Presumably that villain would not have thought of coming here."

Chunyu Tai wanted to speak, Emperor Xixi waved his hand to stop him, thought for a moment and said: "Just do as the Xiangye said. In addition, all activities in the palace will continue as usual, so as not to startle the snake. You must catch the assassin for me, and you must meet people. To die is to see a corpse!"

Si Wenjie lowered his head and said: "The minister leads the decree!" After bowing, he said: "The Queen Mother..."

The Empress Dowager loved Princess Hanyue very much, and she was afraid of falling when she held it in her hand, and she was afraid of melting if she held it in her mouth.The little princess lost her parents since she was a child, and the empress dowager has always taken care of her by her side, covering everything from daily life to poetry, books and etiquette.

Emperor Xixi also considered this point, and said: "I will report to the Queen Mother personally, and the Prime Minister will just do it!" This matter is related to the safety of the little princess, and the Queen Mother will definitely not stop it.

"Yes, I will take my leave first." Si Wenjie bowed and then retreated.

Chunyutai saw that it was a foregone conclusion, so he stopped talking and withdrew.Only Liu Xixi looked at the picture of the Nine Palaces in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

Luanfeng Palace.

Wu Shi, a female official in her early thirties, led four court ladies into the cabinet at a fast pace.

"I won't leave, if the emperor wants me to leave, let him tell me..." In the main hall, two maids aged fifteen or sixteen, one on the left and the other on the right, were persuading their young master to turn their backs.

Wu Shi came in and saw this scene, and said: "Why don't you wait for His Highness to change?" After speaking, he glanced at the left and right maids, his expression slightly angry.

The two maids bowed their heads in silence.

The girl turned around, but she was only eleven or twelve years old, with a slender figure, tall and graceful, with skin that was more snowy than snow, and her eyes were like a pool of clear water.The long and shiny black curly hair was tied up in a bun with a headband, and a few strands of hair hung down from the side of the forehead. The deep lines outlined the delicate facial features. It was like a poem and a painting. It was really more beautiful than the ones in the paintings. How could there be such an inclination People who are all over the country!

"Nurse!" Feng Wuyang went up to meet her and said angrily, "I don't want to leave the palace."

Wushi sighed softly, looked at this beautiful and noble child dotingly, and said: "My princess, the situation is urgent, and the Lord Xiang will bring the emperor's order, there is no delay!"

Feng Wuyang frowned and sneered: "What about the imperial decree? How can this palace be called around by a yellow text!"

Princess Wu Zhizhi is stubborn, she may not be able to persuade her for a while, she is really anxious.In the past few days, there were rumors that the royal children were murdered. She often listened to the court ladies and eunuchs gossip behind their backs. Just now, the Prime Minister asked her to take care of the princess and she had an ominous premonition in her heart!

Feng Wuyang pursed her lips and remained silent, staring at the door with her beautiful eyes.

Wushi persuaded again: "It's only a few days, when the rebels are caught, I will take the princess back to the palace immediately, okay?"

Feng Wuyang's thick eyelashes curled down, and said: "I want to see Grandma Huang."

She grew up in the palace and never stepped out of the palace. Her portrayal of the folk is limited to the folk tales told by the maids and nurses. She yearns for the outside world even more than the concubines who have lived in the deep palace for a long time.In the past, she must have been extremely happy, but now, she was very disturbed.

Wushi sighed, and said: "Master Xiang is highly respected, he is a parent official who pleads for the people, and a loyal retainer. The princess will go with Master Xiang, so don't worry, nanny!"

Feng Wuyang withdrew her gaze, looked at Wushi with clear and bright eyes, and said: "Nurse, you have something to hide from me, right?" As smart as her, how could she not see doubts.

"Nurse only hopes that the princess will be safe and sound." There was warmth in Wu Shi's eyes. Although she was divided into master and servant, she watched and grew up the little princess as if she were her own son.

At this time, the thin voice of the little eunuch came from outside—"Aunt Su is here!"

Feng Wuyang was overjoyed, and thought: "Auntie is here!"

Aunt Su is the empress dowager's personal nanny. In this deep palace, you don't need to know which concubine or concubine, but you must know who this aunt is.It is said that the ancestor emperor fell in love with the queen's maid, Su Shi, and issued an imperial decree to call her a concubine, but she declined.For decades, she worked hard by the Empress Dowager's side, and she was also the enlightenment tutor of the late emperor and all the old princes. Her talent is beyond words, and even the current emperor respects her very much.

"See Aunt Su." Wushi led a group of court ladies to kneel down and salute.In the palace, "aunt" has become a special title, and there is no one.

Although Aunt Su is nearly half a hundred years old, she has smooth skin, black hair, a slender figure and a good face.She was dressed in emerald green clothes without too many fancy decorations, which was cold and suitable. The left sleeve was hanging down weakly, swinging with the steps, but it did not affect the sharp and awe-inspiring aura at all.

With a smile on her lips, Aunt Su bowed to Feng Wuyang and said, "The Empress Dowager specially ordered servants to come and see Princess Hanyue off!"

Feng Wuyang's innocent smile condensed on his face, and his bright eyes suddenly dimmed, obviously this time it was unexpected.He lowered his eyebrows for a while, raised his eyes and said, "Aunt Su, can Grandma Huang explain anything?"

Aunt Su showed appreciation in her eyes, she nodded and said: "The Empress Dowager asked the servant to give the princess a kit, and said that the princess would know to open it when the time is right!" She said and handed over a small golden kit.

Feng Wuyang took it and took a look, then put it away carefully.Said: "Aunt Su", hesitated to speak, wanted to ask myself to take good care of Grandma Huang after leaving, but thought that Aunt Su had been serving Grandma Huang all her life, so she didn't need to say too much.

Aunt Su smiled knowingly, and said: "The queen mother has aunt here, princess, please rest assured."

Feng Wuyang smiled slightly, and said to the nurse: "Nurse, you should take good care of your body!"

Wushi kept smiling without saying a word, with tears in his eyes.

This day was an important turning point in Feng Wuyang's life. She left the palace for the first time and left the place where she had lived at home for 12 years.Many years later, Feng Wuyang recalled this day. If she hadn't left the palace, what would her life be like?
