Chunguang Brocade

Chapter 91 Leaving and Missing (6000 chapters in one, [-] words)
Ji Chong stood on the side of the dragon chair in the court hall, with his hands behind his back, condescending like a king looking down on the world, Gao's party is not good, no matter whether the little emperor is in court, Ji Chong is the same, did the old grand master miscalculate?
Today’s few papers were unanimously unanimous, and Ji Chong decided dictatorially, “Then follow my instructions and decree, Dongdong Road will pull out 10 taels of silver to repair the embankment; Sunan Road’s summer grain tax will be reduced by one bucket per person; Riverside defense..."

His Royal Highness was silent, only Ji Chong's majestic and solemn decision-making sound could be heard by the courtiers, and no one dared to take the lead in rejecting the second proposal.

Seeing that no one in the hall dared to refute the regent's second proposal, the maid sent by Empress Dowager Gao quickly left the pillar where she was hiding and ran to the Empress Dowager Yangyi Palace to report.

The Empress Dowager Gao was about forty years old, and she was bright and dignified. Since the former emperor Xingzheng and the first emperor Tongjia passed away one after another, she has been dressed in plain colors for many years, and she looks lifeless.

Hearing the maid's reply, she frowned and murmured softly, "The old grand master shouldn't be angry!" He was angry, but the opponent was happy. Let him show off his might in the palace, the gain outweighs the loss!
The maid reminded: "Your Highness does not seem to enter the Yanqing Palace." The Yanqing Palace is where the little emperor works and lives.

Gao frowned even tighter, "Where is Shaoqing?"

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Gao Shaoqing asked someone to bring me a message, and I will not enter the palace for the time being due to business these few days."

Is there something going on outside the palace?Confused, Gao stretched out her hand, and the nanny hurried over to help her, "Empress Dowager, you are..."

"If they don't come one by one, I can only go and see how Lian'er is doing in person."

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty is under the care of the Empress Dowager, so you should worry less."

"Can you not worry about it?" The summer is hot, and Gao's body is weak, but his father and younger brother are not in the palace, so she has to supervise her personally. If one is not careful, Ji Chong might be in power.

Thinking of this, Gao Shi panicked for no reason.

"The empress dowager?" The nanny and the palace maid supported Gao Shi who was about to faint.

"It's okay...it's okay..." She suddenly looked somewhere, "How is Qingdao Temple?"

The palace maid was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood who the Empress Dowager wanted to ask, "I know now." She turned around and went out.

In May, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The development of the small commercial area by the moat is basically finalized, and the rest is infrastructure. That is the business of Boss Yu, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Brother Shen, you're being polite." Boss Yu is full of energy all day now, wishing that one person could be used by two people, "I want to recruit your uncle and uncle, look..."

Thinking of Uncle Daguo, who watched the tiger for a long time, Shen Chuxia actually didn't want them to come out, it was too dangerous, but they were adults, it was impossible to stay at home all day with nothing to do, if it kept going like this, people would be decadent.

Very contradictory, Shen Chuxia still nodded, "Okay." There are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, and there are no ones who can guard against thieves for a thousand days, so what should they do?

"Will that be me to inform or you..."

"Employed by you, or Boss Yu, you should notify me."

"Okay." Boss Yu happily asked Shen and Yuan to come and do something.

Shen Chuxia looked around the construction site again, and felt that there was nothing wrong, so she hired a carriage to go back, but was stopped, "Miss Shen..." She turned her head and saw that it was Tang Tai, Fat Brother's master.

"Master Tang looking for Fat Brother?"

Fat Brother was beside her, and he was very happy to see Master Tang, "Master——"

Tang Tai's face was a little unnatural, "Miss Shen, is it convenient, please have a cup of tea."

It seems that there is something to do, Shen Chuxia guessed, vaguely sensed what he wanted to do, nodded, "There is a small tea room in front, Master Tang, please—"

After a while, the two sat in the tea room and each had a cup of tea.

Shen Chuxia didn't speak.

Tang Tai didn't wait any longer: "Miss Shen, I'm going to the south to take escorts recently, and I want to take Fat Brother with me. You should find another guard."

Sure enough, it was exactly what she thought. She looked at the fat man who didn't understand anything. Ever since she became her bodyguard, except for sleeping, she was almost inseparable. Shen Chuxia was very reluctant to leave all of a sudden, but she also knew that everything in the world would never leave. banquet.

Nodded, "I hope Master Tang treats him better."

This was what Tang Tai said to the little lady before. Unexpectedly, things have changed. This time it was her turn to say to him, "I will." After finishing speaking, she drank her tea in one breath and got up, "Then Tang will take his leave first. .”

She pursed her lips and stood up.

Fat Brother didn't know what happened, he looked at his master, and then at Shen Chuxia.

The silly apprentice didn't move, and Master Tang gently pulled him, "Son, go back with Master to see your grandma."

"Grandma...Grandma..." The fat brother was suddenly in a daze, and he didn't even notice that he was being pulled away by Master Tang.

Shen Chuxia bowed her head, it would be dangerous to follow her, so it's fine to leave like this, but tears still flowed down.

"Little lady..." The coachman reminded her that it was getting late.

The hibiscus was lost, and the fat brother left again.For a moment, Shen Chuxia was very sad. The little rabbit saw it in the distance and ran over, "Do you want me to take you home?"

Shen Chuxia wiped away her tears and looked around, Huang Dali's people were scattered among them, "It's okay, you and Brother Xiaobao help Boss Yu, be careful that someone will cause damage."

The little rabbit still felt that something was wrong, "I'll take you home and I'll come back."

It was quite hot at noon, but Shen Chuxia still shook her head, "It's okay." After speaking, she got on the carriage.

When Huang Dali saw the little lady riding in a carriage, he quickly raised his hand, and the guards followed.

Once a person's emotions fall into a certain point, it will really blur everything around him. Shen Chuxia leaned his head against the wall of the carriage, looking sluggish, but the fat brother didn't say goodbye to her.

Isn't a year of getting along enough for him to remember her?Shen Chuxia was really sad, sad for not being remembered, or sad for Fat Brother's heartlessness, I couldn't tell the feeling.

The carriage was bumpy and the sun was hot. Shen Chuxia was drowsy. Before falling asleep, she thought, could it be that she has been too busy recently?Are you so depressed?
For several days in a row, it was not as dangerous as Miss Shen and Old Han Tuo said. Huang Dali felt very relaxed with the guards, even easier than patrolling the streets.

He was thinking about where he would take his brothers to eat after escorting the little lady home.

In the crowd, someone rushed over, "Deputy Commander Huang, the carriage is gone."

Huang Dali was startled, "Who are you?"

The little skinny man rolled his eyes, "I'm from Uncle Tuo."

"Why is the carriage gone?" Huang Dali didn't believe it.

The little skinny man shouted, "If I knew, I wouldn't call you, hurry up and look for it together."

Huang Dali was puzzled and asked the master to look for him. He didn't care at first, but he found it in the dark at noon, and then found the dawn in the dark. The carriage disappeared without a trace, as if it had disappeared out of thin air.

He panicked, "How could this be?"

The hidden guard who was secretly inserted among Huang Dali's guards returned to the Prince Regent's Mansion and reported to the head Xiao Wu, "It disappeared like smoke."

As a hidden guard, there is nothing I haven't seen before, but I really haven't seen what Xiao Liu said, "Where is Xiao Qi?"

His Highness was worried about Huang Dali, and secretly sent two top secret guards - Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi. You can tell from their rankings, except for the head Xiao Wu, just count them two, and the rest of Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu went all the way to ... This is a secret and cannot be said.

Xiao Liu shook his head, "I didn't find him."

"Could it be that he lost it with him?" Xiao Wu secretly speculated.

This matter was no small matter, Mu Tong was hesitant to tell his master the news of Miss Shen's disappearance, Su Juesong came over early in the morning to deliver the official documents, "Turn around, what's the matter?"

Mu Tong nodded, then shook his head again.

"Is there?" Su Juesong felt amused, "Do you want me to bring it in for you?"

The wooden channel: "Then thank you, Mr. Su, please tell Your Highness that the carriage that Miss Shen was riding in yesterday is missing, and Huang Dali and Xiao Liu have been searching all night but failed to find it."

Su Juesong's expression changed suddenly, "One night?"

"Add another afternoon." Mu Tong shrunk his head, "Please help bring it in, sir."

"Why didn't you report it earlier?"

"Master Huang wants to find..."

"..." Su Juesong was suddenly speechless, "He is not suitable for this." He hurried into the study.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Ji Chong has been working for half an hour.

"The money from the household department must be transferred out today." He didn't lift his head, and kept the ink brush in his hand.

"Your Highness... Your Highness..." Su Juesong could see how special the 28-year-old Highness was to Miss Shen, and he was a little afraid to report it.

As his No. [-] long history, in Ji Chong's mind, he has never heard Mr. Su stammer, and raised his eyes curiously, "Afraid that Gaodinglu will not let the Ministry of Households pay money?"

"Your Highness, it's not this."

"What's that about?" Ji Dian didn't like his subordinates playing tricks, and his eyes were narrowed.

Of course Su Juesong found that the master was getting impatient, so he said bravely, "The carriage that Miss Shen is riding in is gone."

"Just give her a special one." He didn't take it seriously for what it was. He lowered his head and continued to approve the official documents. Just as he wrote, he suddenly realized, "You mean, she disappeared with the carriage?"

"Exactly, Your Highness." Anyway, His Highness understood, Su Juesong replied very simply.

The pen in Ji Chong's hand fell to the edge of the table with a slap, and fell from the edge of the table to the ground with a snap, a high-quality brush broke instantly.

"Mutong, Xiaowu—"

The two swirled in like a gust of wind, "Your Highness..." the voice trembled.

"what happened?"

Xiao Wu couldn't hide, "Your Highness, Miss Shen was about to go home at noon yesterday, but on the way she met Tang Tai, the abbot of the martial arts sect, who wanted to return to her apprentices, so Miss Shen got into the carriage and went home alone.

The carriage is surrounded by Huang Dali's people, as well as Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, logically speaking, it is impossible for the carriage to escape their sight..."

"But now she has disappeared before your eyes." Ji Chong's voice was not high, but it made people's teeth squeak.

Xiao Wu didn't dare to say a word.

Su Juesong braced himself, "Your Highness, it's better to find someone right now."

Old Han Tuo led his men to search almost all the dark corners of the capital city, "Nothing."

The little thin man said: "Master, it would be great if we had a way to enter Uncle Daguo's territory. We must be taken away by him."

Yuan Shao'an got to know a few small officials under the introduction of the old Han Tuo, and found a small errand job under them. He was working hard under his name, but he didn't know that his eldest cousin was missing.

Shen Dezhi was recently arranged to be in the library to learn business from the shopkeeper of the Zhang family, and at the same time to attend the gathering of the Humanities Hall when he was free, to pay attention to the news brought by students from all over the country to the capital, and to sort it out for Shen Chuxia when she needed it.

Old Han Tuo asked the little skinny man to find Shen Dezhi, and told him that Shen Chuxia was missing, and it might be related to Uncle Da Guo, "Uncle Da Guo often comes to Zhang Ji Restaurant recently, if possible, please ask Miss Zhang to find out his tone, Xiao Has the lady been stroked away by him?"

Yuan Shao'an and Shen Dezhi will tell Yuan Shao'an and Shen Dezhi the general idea of ​​what Shen Chuxia is doing and what he will do in the future. They are actually the people who know the most about many things.

Shen Dezhi was not as active as Yuan Shaoan in doing things, but he didn't immediately carry out what the little skinny man said, and just said lightly, "I see."

"He's your cousin, are you not in a hurry?"

He was more anxious than anyone else, but Shen Dezhi knew his shortcomings, the more anxious he was, the more he had to hold his breath, "Tell me, where is Shao'an?" He wanted to discuss it with him.

The little skinny man looked at him, "Are you sure you want to find him?"

"..." Shen Dezhi pursed his lips.

"Once he is found, he may be discovered by others, which is not conducive to what he wants to do."

Shen Dezhi stood motionless for a long time.

Except for Shao'an and Shen Dezhi, Shen Yuan's family didn't know that Shen Chuxia was missing, even Boss Yu didn't know, Shen Yuan's family thought Shen Chuxia was at the construction site, and Boss Yu thought Shen Chuxia had gone home.

If Ji Chong hadn't found someone to protect her, Shen Chuxia's disappearance would have been unknown.

When Shen Chuxia woke up, there was the sound of water dripping in her ears, one... two... like water dripping from the eaves after it rained. She shook her head vigorously, trying to clear her mind.

Finally, her head was not so dizzy, she opened her eyes vigorously, she subconsciously closed them again when a beam of light pierced her, at this moment all senses came to life, she was startled suddenly, her hands were hung, as if locked in a cave .

No way!
She opened her eyes in a flash, and sure enough, she was arrested and locked up in a cave. Is there such a place in the capital?Uncle Daguo's private garden?She looked around, the cave was not big, and there was nothing else in it except a whip and a bloody knife.

She seemed to have eyes to know that she was awake and that someone had come in.

One in the front and two in the back, the master in the front and the servant in the back, all three of them covered their faces, and they were all men in appearance.

Shen Chuxia looked at them without moving.

The masked man in front approached her, "Tell me, where is that big square veil?"

Handkerchief?In an instant, all the memories flooded back, Shen Chuxia still held his breath, "I don't know what you are talking about?"

The masked man grinned, picked up the whip and waved it in front of her, "Deyun Restaurant, you were hit by someone, and that person stuffed a veil into your arms, where is the veil?"

"I threw away the handkerchief used by the man, but now I can't find it and lost it." She said, "I believe you have already searched my house, haven't you?"

The masked man paused.

Shen Chuxia understood. Mu Jin once said that someone had turned over her house. At that time, she didn't take it seriously. It seemed to be true. However, what she doubted was that a piece of veil, what was on it, was worth their expense. Twists and turns.

Suddenly, the plot of the film and television drama flashed in her mind, could it be a treasure map?Shen Chuxia's eyes moved.

The masked man was alert, "Do you know what that is?"

Shen Chuxia laughed, "It's all like this, I don't know what is the difference between being a fool."

"In that case, if you don't reveal the treasure map, you won't be able to get out alive."

Shen Chuxia satirized: "But I really don't know where it went. If I knew how hard I was building a commercial street in the capital, it would be so cool to just take the treasure map and dig for money."

The masked man was unmoved, picked up the whip, and hit her facelessly a few times, "This is a warning, remember it quickly, or you will be beaten until you die."

Born in a peaceful era, how had she ever received this kind of 'treatment'? The skin on Shen Chuxia's body was bloody in an instant, and she gritted her teeth in pain, "Kill me, I don't know where it went?"

The little girl gritted her teeth, she was quite patient, and the masked man waved her hand, "Take care of her, and beat her up every hour until she tells where the veil is."

"Yes, boss."

The masked man looked at her again, "It's better to think of something to avoid the pain of flesh and blood."

Shen Chuxia was beaten into a mess, and stared at him fiercely, "I said before, if I knew the treasure map, I would have gone to dig it long ago, and I'm waiting for you to catch it?"

The masked man stared at her complicatedly for a moment, then turned and left the cave.

Who is it?Uncle Daguo?The king of Chu who fled?Or the unknown oriole?

With her hands hanging and her head drooping, Shen Chuxia was sore and hungry, she had no strength at all, but her brain was extremely clear, she threw the generous handkerchief in the room, Mu Jin thought it was a gift from Ji Chong, baby's Very, well hidden all the time.

Who stole it?She thought about Shen Yuan's family, no one seemed to do such a boring thing, Mu Jin said that someone entered the house and turned it over, she didn't care at the time, but now that she thinks about it, it's very likely that it was these masked people, but they didn't turn it over, Could it be that how many people have come to turn it over?Which one took it away?
The masked man turned into another hidden cave, and stood beside the man in black, "Master, the little lady surnamed Shen really doesn't know where Pazi is."

The man in black had been staring at the murals in the cave, and when he heard this, he turned around, "If you can't ask within three days, kill him."

"Yes, Master."

The masked man in black lifted his pocket cover and wrapped it tightly, "Did the lady who went in find out anything?"

"Return to the master, there is no news yet."

"Let her hold on tight."

"Yes."

The masked man in black came out of the cave and disappeared into the mountains in an instant.

Shen Yuan's family actually moved into the place where Shen Jinlin used to live, the door was quiet, it was no longer like Nancheng, the alley was full of children, she could see Xi'er anytime and anywhere, Hong Luan stood at the door in a daze for a long time didn't move.

A woman who was shopping for vegetables came into the house, saw the young daughter-in-law standing still, and asked curiously, "Little lady, who are you looking for?"

Hongluan raised her eyes, "You are..."

"I'm the vegetable shopping woman of the Shen family. My surname is Li. Everyone calls me Mrs. Li."

"So it's Mama Li, I'm here to see Xi'er."

Mrs. Li has been in Shen Yuan's family for half a month, and she knows what's going on, "Then you come in."

Hongluan shook her head, "Please call Xi'er, I'll just have a few words with him."

Granny Li stared at her, "Okay, I'll call for you." After speaking, she entered the courtyard.

After a while, Shen Mingxi came out, "Why did it take you so long to see me?" The little cute baby seemed dissatisfied.

Hongluan smiled wryly, but didn't say anything, she put down her burden, took out two sets of clothes from inside, "Come here, let mother see if it fits."

Shen Mingxi leaned into her arms and let her gesture whether the clothes fit well, "How does that man treat you?"

Hongluan was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect her son to ask this, "You...are you blaming your mother?"

Shen Mingxi snorted, "Is there anything strange? It's not normal for a woman to find another man without a man to support her."

Hongluan smiled wryly, "The clothes fit you well." She rewrapped them and handed them to him, "Be good, Mother will come to see you later."

Shen Mingxi didn't take the bag, just wanted to take something out of his sleeve pocket, when he saw a face behind the door from the corner of the eye, his face sank, and he retracted his hands calmly,

"You help me to the place where I live." After finishing speaking, he turned and entered the house.

Hongluan had no choice but to enter the yard with her luggage, and met Shen Yuan and his family along the way, and greeted each other awkwardly.

Shen Yuanshi saw her, "To see Mingxi?"

"Yeah..." she replied uncomfortably.

Shen Yuanshi had already looked away, "It's already noon, let's go after dinner."

Hongluan shook her head, "I found a sewing job recently, and I'm going to work there later."

"Oh..." Shen Yuanshi said nothing more.

She nodded and quickly followed her son.

He actually still lives in Dongsanjian, "The Shen family treats you well."

Shen Mingxi pouted, "It's just Shen Chuxia who always fights against me."

Hongluan smiled, but didn't agree with him, put down the burden, tidied up her son's room casually, saw that he was doing well, and became softer, "Do you know how to be obedient?"

"Understood, I say this every time, it's so annoying." Shen Mingxi sat down on the couch, and took out a hairpin from his sleeve to play with.

When Hongluan saw it, it was actually made by the emperor, "Where did it come from?"

"The man gave it to Chu Xia, and I took it over."

Could it be the same with the handkerchief from last time, but that is not an imperial thing, Hongluan knows about the affair between Shen Chuxia and the regent, "You should put it back as a gift between a man and a woman."

"The door is wrong, the household is wrong, that man will definitely not marry Chu Xia, why keep his gift, it will only increase troubles."

Hongluan laughed, "A concubine or a concubine..."

"Shut up, I won't let Shen Chuxia be a concubine and a concubine." Shen Mingxi roared angrily.

Hongluan was surprised, "But don't you find her annoying?"

"That can only annoy me."

It turns out that this kid likes his sister, Hongluan smiled, "Then I won't bother you, I'll go back first." She reached out and patted his head, a little reluctant, but had to leave again.

Shen Mingxi looked at the hairpin in a daze.

Shen Xiaoqiu came in, "Hey, isn't this my eldest sister's hairpin? I said why it disappeared."

"I... I found it in the corridor outside." Shen Mingxi threw the hairpin and ran outside.

"Hey... your mother has been away for a long time, and you don't want to give it away..." Shen Xiaoqiu picked up her sister's hairpin with a pout, "It's so beautiful." After speaking, she took the hairpin back to her sister's room.

Old Han Tuo searched the dark corners of the capital city wells, and Ji Chong searched all the official corners of the capital.Meet Uncle Daguo at the gate of the imperial city.

The two looked at each other.

Uncle Daguo laughed cynically.

Ji Chong's eyes were stern and cold, "Don't let me know that you did it."

"What did I do?" Uncle Daguo had an innocent face, spread his hands, and was dressed in a scarlet brocade robe, "I didn't do anything."

Ji Chong's unbelieving eyes.
