Gongshang Confidante

Seeing that the big wedding day is approaching, Zhou Chiyu has a headache. Apart from court affairs, it is the trivial matters of red tape.

"The Bureau of Shangyi sent the newly made wedding clothes and jewelry today, please take a look at them," the eunuch said outside the door. Seeing Zhou Chiyu glanced at him, the report said, "There are golden dragon-patterned Chinese clothes, tired pearls and red rosy silk Skirt and Holy Lord Dongzhu Golden Dragon Crown",

"I will send some in two or three days. Didn't I say that everything about the big wedding should be kept simple?" Zhou Chiyu frowned and said, "It was specially ordered by the empress Dowager Xian, saying that the emperor's big wedding should not be hasty." The eunuch panicked to report,

Zhou Chiyu got up, and didn't look at him again, just said, "I will pass on my will, the late emperor collapsed, the country will be peaceful, the people will rest and live, and things in the palace should not be extravagant", "Yes", the eunuch accepted the order in disgrace, and wanted to beg Yes, I made a fuss and said goodbye,

"The servant is waiting outside, and waits for the emperor to try to see if it fits, so that the servant can repay the empress dowager Xian",

However, due to the kindness of Concubine Xian, Zhou Chiyu had no choice but to order Xia Ling to wait for her to change her clothes. She was dressed in a bright red luxurious wedding dress, which made Zhou Chiyu's skin match snow. The waist looks graceful.

Xia Ling combed Zhou Chiyu's hair again, put on heavy makeup, dark clouds and beautiful hair, snow-white skin, red lips painted with red dandelion, full of bright red, eyebrows as leisurely as green hills, without losing majesty, slightly sideways, skirts like layers of skirts The sea of ​​flowers spread, and in the overwhelming sea of ​​bright red flowers, it was difficult to hide the demeanor between her brows and eyes.

"It turns out that the emperor is so dainty and eye-catching when he wears red." Xia Ling has never seen Zhou Chiyu wearing red, and at this moment, it is hard to move one's eyes away. The color is bright, the eyebrows and eyes are proud and look down on the world.

Zhou Chiyu's eyes slanted slightly, he looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "How? Is it pretty?" "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, it's hard for anyone in the world to look as good-looking as your majesty in red," Xia Ling replied sincerely road.

"Yellow", Zhou Chiyu said with a light smile, "You have never seen my Aunt Ning wearing red, that is the most beautiful in the world",

"The majesty of the Ninth Five-Year Saint, his majesty is very comparable to others", Xia Ling and other court ladies all praised. You must know that this Ningzi Mu Rongguang is peerless, but in terms of momentum, at this moment, Zhou Chiyu, who is the most respected son of heaven, looks at the world with contempt, turning Hands are clouds, covering hands is rain, but as Xia Ling said, there is no one in comparison.

Zhou Chiyu narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and turned his head slightly to look at himself in the mirror. She seldom wore red clothes, and she also had a glamorous demeanor. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she said, "Come here, let me show you",

"Ah? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, where are you going?" Xia Ling was startled, and asked, "Where else can I go, to the female official's house?" Zhou Chiyu said enthusiastically, "Your Majesty, this, this, is a little strange It's all right," Xia Ling discouraged, how could she run around wearing happy clothes before the big wedding day.

"Hmm..." Zhou Chiyu paused, and said, "Then let Master Su enter the palace." "Yes", Xia Ling passed on the decree. Zhou Chiyu fiddled with the jade pendant around his waist, wondering how Su Muxue would feel when he saw it. appearance, thinking about it, he laughed again, looked up and looked out,

After waiting for a cup of tea, Zhou Chiyu stood up, "Your Majesty, Xiao Zhuozi has reported to someone, saying that Mr. Su is not in Huashufang, and I think he is going back to the official residence." Xia Ling replied,

"Look at you, how confused you are, don't you know how to send more people to invite you?" Zhou Chiyu reprimanded, "Yes", Xia Ling ordered to go down, "Master Su is resting here today, Xia Ling, please go down, Prepare meals and boil some hot water," Zhou Chiyu said, she touched her ears, she felt a little hot, even her face was burning hot, Mu Xue, Mu Xue, you will be happy.

Some images flashed in his mind, Zhou Chiyu couldn't sit still, dragging his long skirt, the peach blossoms outside the window were in full bloom, Nandi's charming face was like peaches and plums, and his eyes were shining brightly.

It took a lot of time to wait for this, the servants in the hall were all kneeling on the ground, silent like cicadas, watching the Holy Majesty's expression change from anticipation to overjoyed, then expressionless, and then gradually darkened.

The people outside the hall were all crazy, looking for Su Muxue everywhere, Zhou Chiyu raised his finger, whistled, and saw a black shadow slipping down from the eaves, kneeling in front of her silently, "Where is Master Su?",

"Master Su didn't go back to the official residence after he came to court, His Majesty only asked his ministers to protect Master Su near the residence...I don't know..." Hei Ying said,

"Where are the other hidden guards? What use do I need you bastards?! It's better to chop off your heads and hang them on the city wall!" Zhou Chiyu scolded,

"It's my fault! I didn't find any trace of Mr. Su!", Hei Ying knelt down and kowtowed, his forehead was bleeding, and flowed down his forehead, "Drag it down and chop it up! Don't pollute this place!", Zhou Chiyu He frowned and scolded,

Two guards stepped forward and dragged the black shadow down. Zhou Chiyu's fingers trembled slightly. She took off the heavy headdress on her head, which was filled with oriental gemstones. It was so heavy that she could hardly lift her head.

"Show it! Swing it! Go to the official residence!" Zhou Chiyu said, lifted the hem of his skirt, and walked out, "Your Majesty..." Xia Ling was about to remind her that this was inappropriate, but was startled by the cruelty in Zhou Chiyu's eyes , I didn't dare to make a sound for a while.

This palace is not big, but it is not small. It is full of the emperor's eyeliner. How can a person disappear out of thin air?

There were already people kneeling on the ground outside the official residence, and the guards did not dare to go in to search. It was the maid who went in to see that there was no one there. Sliding past, like bloodstains dragged out, shocking.

The room is tidy, everything that should be there is there, even the sword that Su Muxue never leaves is hanging on the wall, it is the sword that Zhou Chiyu pardoned her for walking in the palace, Zhou Chiyu raised his eyebrows slightly, just asked , "Have you seen any suspicious people?",

No one dared to answer, only a court lady hesitated, and said after a while, "I don't know if I heard it wrong, but it seems that last night, I seemed to hear voices in Mrs. Su's room", "Bold!", Zhou Chiyu He shouted, causing the maid to fall to the ground in fright, stood up and kowtowed, "Maidservant may have heard wrong, wrongly heard."

Zhou Chiyu walked to Su Muxue's dressing table, and there were many accessories. She flipped Su Muxue's dressing box casually, and said, "Someone dares to take people away in my palace! I will definitely...", she suddenly closed With a loud tremor, the hand trembled violently, and knocked the dressing box to the ground. There were many accessories in the dressing box, and there was even an extra bracelet, the Canaan incense rosary!

This was the reward she won in the riding and archery ceremony that year when she and Su Muxue first met, and she personally presented it to Su Muxue.

This rosary, Su Muxue never left her body, only at this time, it was kept in the dressing box.

A piece of letter paper floated lightly on the ground, with eight words, concise and clear, one separate and two places, each safe.

Zhou Chiyu's face turned pale in an instant, she held the paper hand, trembling uncontrollably, her knuckles were protruding and turned white from the force, you dare to go, you dare to go!

The vases and pen holders in front of me were smashed to the ground one after another, and the fragments splashed everywhere. The frightened palace people trembled, and some even cried in a low voice, "Su Muxue! You are so brave!" Zhou Chiyu gritted his teeth and laughed, she trembled. With his hands, he tore off the bright red wedding gown, and threw it on the ground angrily, like a torn red cloth.

"Chuan, pass, Imperial Forest Army!" Zhou Chiyu's chest heaved violently, and she shouted loudly, "Preach my will! Seal the city! No one is allowed to enter or leave! Send the army to search, and Su Muxue must be taken back to the palace!!",

The general in armor entered the hall, knelt down on one knee, and was about to take orders, "Stop!" Zhou Chiyu was only wearing a white jacket, his bun was messed up long ago, and he was holding a string of rosary beads tightly in his hand. Slender and lonely.

"I don't know what else is the Holy One's will?" The general didn't dare to raise his head, and asked with cupped hands. After a long, long time, the back seemed to freeze. Everyone lowered their eyes and didn't dare to raise their heads. If you dare to say one more word or take one more look, His Majesty will probably not tolerate it.

"I want to live! Don't do it, I'll hurt her!", as the words came out, the back seemed even more bleak, "I obey the order!" The general replied, not daring to get up, just waiting for the order,

"If she loses a hair, you will all be buried with her." The calm words, with their coldness and power, made people shudder. "Yes, I will do my best to bring Master Su back to the palace!" The general replied.

Su Muxue, how dare you, how dare you, Zhou Chiyu looked at the mess all over the floor, his eyes full of anger gradually turned into a deep sinking pool, dark and unclear.

"Green Dragon, White Tiger", following Zhou Chiyu's words, two black shadows fell from the eaves, "You two hurry to Huachi Mountain, find Huayi and Huayu, and bring them back to me!" Zhou Chiyu decreed, "Yes", the two replied.

"Suzaku, Xuanwu, go to Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, check for Gu Qingsheng's traces, don't disturb her",

"Mo Li, send someone to block the city gate to Mobei, conduct a strict investigation, no one is allowed to let go without documents",

"Commander Ye, even if we search the capital, I will find him."

Except for Ying Shi, no one dared to say a word, because everyone could feel that the person in front of him was in a rage.

Su Muxue, when I find you again, I will tie you up in the palace and not allow you to leave.

The thread of the bracelet was torn, and there was a bright red mark in the white palm, blood seeped out, and the blood-stained rosary beads slipped from the hand one by one, fell to the ground, and rolled.

After that, no one dared to mention what happened that night, because everyone who mentioned it lost their heads.
