”Grandson pays respects to Royal Grandmother.” Although the King Xing was in a hurry, he didn't think much of it. This grandson of the King Xing's, because he was not the emperor in the heart of the Empress Dowager Zhou, the Empress Dowager Zhou had spoiled this grandson a little too much.
As a result, many of the Empress Dowager Zhou s were quite unrestrained towards Zhu Youyuan. In any case, they were all princes who came to Fan Xian's residence, and as long as they could wholeheartedly support the Emperor and work for Da Ming, then for the Empress Dowager Zhou s, they should be a little more arrogant.
No matter what Zhu Youyuan said, he was much better than his father, Zhu Jianshen.
”Why is the prince so reckless?” According to convention, the former Shao Chen Fei had already moved out of the rear palace and moved into the Tzu Ning Palace. The Shao Chen Fei should be called Grand Concubine now.
”Alright, isn't Third Bro being very well-behaved? Wailing Home likes Third Bro's lively and quick-witted look. Alright, stop talking. ” Since the old ancestor of the empress dowager had spoken, the Shao Chen Fei could only shut up.
”Today, I entered the palace to talk with Royal Grandmother. His Majesty had gone to the Huangzhuang, why didn't he send a message now? Earlier, I went to find my royal brother to drag some things back from Huangzhuang for me. ”In the end, there's still no news of him.”
”I was wondering why you would come to Wailing Home today. So it's because you're looking for the Emperor.” ”You monkey.”
Empress Dowager Zhou was still scolding her grandson with laughter. He didn't know that the grandson of the emperor he was most proud of was missing right now.
”Where's the eunuch from Wei Shen? Why haven't you come to see me yet? ” The matter that was being talked about was with regards to Constitutional Zong's imperial concubine, Mrs Liu. As a third stage Liu Fei's concubine, he was not considered a favoured person in the harem with such a large number of imperial concubines.
After the first time he accepted the favor, he was only trusted by the Emperor after ten days of isolation. From then on, the identity of the Liu Fei could only be that of a Liu Fei, and it felt extremely awkward for him. Seeing someone like the Shao family, Mrs Liu had to lower her head.
He was young and vigorous, and he was talking about a woman like Lady Liu. Relying on the fact that she had obtained the favor of the Emperor of the Crown, Lady Liu felt that if she could grab onto the emperor's heart, the throne of the Empress would probably belong to her.
He had earned the respect of others and was insatiable in his greed. But Mrs Liu had forgotten that the palace had its own rules of survival. Some things were not to be easily provoked by others. There was a saying, 'Miss's body is ordered by a maid.'
After offending the Shao Family, there would be someone who would punish the Liu Fei on behalf of the Shao Family without needing the Chen Fei to personally act. This time, the trick she used had caused Liu Fei to wake up from her absurd dream. Liu Fei knew that even if she wanted to become a master, she had to first have the ability to protect herself.
As a result, when Wei Shen was still a half-baked slave who was not particularly valued by Constitutional Zong, Liu Fei saw the chance to form an alliance with him.
As the Wei Shen climbed up bit by bit, the money in his hands became the best thing to help the Wei Shen. It was at this time that Wei Shen finally reached the pinnacle of his life. The owner of the East Factory held the power to kill.
From then on, the Wei Shen became extremely powerful, killing people and taking their official's money, to the Wei Shen, this kind of thing was extremely convenient.
Finally, the Liu Fei also reaped some rewards, and the two of them colluded against each other. In a place unknown to the Emperor of the Crown, they were planning a little bit of how they could get more wealth. However, before the two could succeed in their plan, the Emperor of the Crown died just like that.
After that was the ascension of the new emperor. Due to the Wei Shen's success, although he wasn't captured and buried alive, his life still wasn't good.
The emperor was very strict with the imperial concubines. Wei Shen had to be careful if he wanted to see Liu Fei, the crime of bringing chaos and harem was not something that a mere eunuch like Wei Shen could bear.
”Empress, Eunuch Wei said that this is an extraordinary period, so please take care of it.” The East Factory is in a state of turmoil right now, so Eunuch Wei told the Empress that if she doesn't want to get into any trouble, it's best for her to avoid doing anything and speak less. ”
Grand Concubine Liu hadn't thought that she would be bitten by her own dog. One bite was enough. Even if Grand Concubine Liu didn't really care, she was still very unhappy. He was just a lackey, what right did he have to be disrespectful to his master?
However, she also knew that what the Wei Shen said was reasonable, so she didn't say anything else despite harboring a grudge in her heart.
Wei Shen had already sent people to search the forest for three days, inch by inch, but other than some vague bloodstains, they could not find anything else. Furthermore, the north, south, east and west of Huangzhuang were all in dense forest, and the East Factory did not receive much attention from the Emperor. If he were to suddenly appear here, it would definitely cause a reaction from the officials of the court.
If the civil and military officials were to find out that the Emperor had gone missing and that he had sent a large number of the East Factory, but was unable to find the Emperor, then just the words of the literati would be sufficient to drown him. The Wei Shen could only move everything to the shadows.
And inside the imperial guards, Gu Jianzhi found a few skilled martial arts experts to follow the people of the East Factory. If these people could find the Emperor, they could naturally find the Emperor with the imperial guards. Gu Jianzhi was skilled in the art of mantis stalking cicada and yellow sparrow.
And inside the Taiyuan Hospital, Luo Chun was not feeling well at all. The emperor had gone missing. Luo Chun didn't know whether he was dead or alive, but the moment he received the news, he immediately thought of looking for someone. But he was refuted by Gu Jianzhi.
”You are a weak scholar yourself. How can you go to His Majesty when you are powerless? Moreover, protecting you will require a lot of people, so you better stay in the Imperial City and guard the information that the Taiyuan Hospital is waiting for us. ”
Gu Jianzhi's words were very reasonable, and for a moment, Luo Chun was speechless.
”Right now, there are some people in the royal palace who are in a state of chaos. There are Imperial Guards guarding the Imperial City's entrance from all directions. I'm afraid the Imperial City has changed.”
”I know. This morning, King Xing entered the palace to see the empress dowager. I know about all of this. Is there anything else? ”
”Reportedly, it is because Herba Euphorbiae went missing in the Huangzhuang.”
In the capital, for those who had some ability, regardless of whether they were civil or military, they all had their own channels. The capital had always been a mobile army, but there was no news of the emperor. Many ministers knew that the emperor had disappeared along with the Huangzhuang and the empress.
