Chapter 6 He was almost broken, but he put it together again
Kunning Palace.

At this moment, martial law has been imposed here.

The emperor suddenly disappeared in broad daylight, and it happened in front of the empress herself. If it were any other emperor or any other concubine, the remaining person would definitely be suspected of everything along with his entire family.

But it was Zhu Yuanzhang who was missing, and it was Empress Ma who discovered he was missing.

Anyone in the world could do something bad to Zhu Yuanzhang, except Empress Ma and Zhu Biao.

Then the question comes-

Your Majesty, how did he disappear?

"Empress, could you please tell me more specifically what happened and how His Majesty disappeared?"

The imperial guards surrounded the entrance of Kunning Palace, the phoenix couch was covered by a gauze curtain, and outside the tent stood a middle-aged man in a Feiyu suit, holding a pen and a booklet, recording something.

His name is Mao Xiang, and he is currently serving as the commander of the Imperial Court. He has followed Zhu Yuanzhang since the rebel period and is now a close confidant of the Emperor. His other secret identity is the head of a secret spy.

Such a big thing happened in the palace, and there was no one else present except the emperor and the empress. Logically, Mao Xiang should investigate the matter first, and only hand it over to the officials for handling if it is not feasible. The emperor's disappearance is a huge matter, and once it is not kept secret and rumors spread, the people will be greatly disturbed!
In the tent, Queen Ma's voice was extremely weak. She coughed several times before saying:
"It's not that I don't want to talk about it in detail. It's just that at that time... the situation was too absurd. Even though I was holding onto the edge of His Majesty's clothes, I didn't see clearly how he disappeared."

"After the palace servants left, he chatted with me for a while, then suddenly shouted that something was wrong and frightened me. He just told me not to move, and then, in the blink of an eye, he disappeared out of thin air. It really was just the blink of an eye!"

"Ahem... Maoxiong, please look carefully for it, please look carefully!"

She had been in poor health to begin with and had been recuperating in Kunning Palace. When a major change happened at this time, Crown Prince Zhu Biao should have been in charge of all matters, but for a while, even the Crown Prince could not be found. No one was seen in the Wenhua Hall where she worked or in the East Palace. So Mao Xiang had no choice but to disturb the empress who was bedridden after being frightened.

Seeing that the Queen was so excited that she coughed so hard that her lungs were about to burst, Mao Xiang did not dare to ask any more questions, for fear that she would suffer further health problems.

Then Mao Xiang bowed to the phoenix couch, bowed his head and said:
"Don't worry, Madam. If I cannot find your Majesty, I will bring his head back to you!"

As he spoke, he put away the paper and pen, stood up and walked outside, and by the way, he brought a group of guards standing in the hall to the door to guard it so that the queen could rest for a while.

But after walking out of the door, Mao Xiang's face, which had just been full of confidence, finally revealed an unconcealable look of distress.

Who would be willing to risk their life as a military order unless there is really no other way?
The problem is, no matter whether the military order is issued or not, as the emperor's close attendant, the emperor would never see him alive or dead, so Mao Xiang would not be able to save his life no matter what.

Rather than being chopped off later, it is better to leave a military order now, at least to save the nine clans.

"come here."

After the gate of Kunning Palace was closed and no outsiders were allowed to enter or leave, Mao Xiang raised his hand and called over a subordinate.

This subordinate just ran in from outside in a hurry, and no one knew what he was going to say. However, Mao Xiang was worried that the Queen would hear the news and get angry and something bad might happen, so he asked this subordinate named Jiang Huan to wait for him to come out before making any further remarks.

Mao Xiang asked calmly:

"What was it that you wanted to report just now?"

Even the emperor's disappearance had happened, and he felt that there should be nothing in the world that could shock him so much again.

Jiang Li was silent for a moment and whispered:

"Reporting to the Commander, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also been confirmed missing."

"I have led people to search carefully in Wenhua Hall and Chunhe Palace, but no one knows where His Highness is. The last person who saw him was a palace maid. She said His Highness was reviewing memorials in Wenhua Hall half an hour ago. She went to serve him tea, and His Highness had not left the house during that time. But we have never found him again."

The indifferent expression on Mao Xiang's face began to crack bit by bit.

He felt like he was about to break. The Ming Dynasty had only been established for ten years, and all of a sudden, the emperor and the crown prince disappeared inexplicably, and the queen fell ill in bed...

Isn't this country going to be destroyed?!

…………

In Kunning Palace.

A group of people from the Imperial Hospital came over to take the Empress' pulse, and their advice was that she should drink some calming soup and rest quietly, and not have any major emotional fluctuations, otherwise it would only make the situation worse. So now in the bedroom, besides Empress Ma who was resting in bed, there were only two most experienced palace maids serving by the bed, and all the other outsiders were guarding outside the palace.

Lying on the couch, Queen Ma drank the medicine and closed her eyes, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

She tossed and turned countless times, but finally couldn't help it, so she pulled open the curtain and asked:

"How is the situation at the Yiluansi? Your Majesty, is there still no news?"

Due to her weak health, Empress Ma took two breaths after uttering this short sentence, and her strength was very insufficient.

The palace maid waiting outside the tent quickly replied:
"Your Highness, Commander Mao has only been gone for less than a minute, and there is still no news. Please relax and lie down to rest. We will wait a little longer."

Queen Ma shook her head and sighed:
"How can I feel relieved... I was just complaining about his faults, and then he disappeared. If something really happened, I wouldn't be able to live like this."

Thinking back to the time when she almost grabbed her husband's ears and nagged him, Queen Ma regretted her decision.

If I had known this would happen, I would never have argued with him again!

But right now.

The two palace maids who were concerned about the Queen suddenly felt something was wrong. They turned their heads to look at the same time and exclaimed at the same time.

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is back!"

The person standing behind them, with his hands behind his back, peeking at the Empress behind the curtain, was none other than Zhu Yuanzhang!

When Empress Ma heard the palace maids' exclamations, she did not care that she was still weak. She sat up without even having time to put on her shoes and rushed to her husband wearing only her socks. She pulled his arm and checked him back and forth, front and back, left and right, fearing that he was injured.

While checking, she asked anxiously:

"Where did you go just now? I was scared to death!"

"You're missing, and I don't know where Biao'er went. I have to deal with so many things by myself. The guards outside almost surrounded the entire Kunning Palace, do you know?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and scratched his head:

"It's hard to explain at the moment, but it's not a bad thing. Biao'er is fine. I was with him. Come on, go back and lie down to rest. I'll be there for you."

He helped his wife onto the bed, said a few words to comfort her, and gave instructions to the two palace maids before opening the door and walking out of Kunning Palace.

Just as Empress Ma said, the area outside Kunning Palace was surrounded like an iron barrel, and not even a mosquito could get in or out.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked behind the crowd, found the target person, and said loudly:
"Mao Xiang, come here, I have something to tell you!"

Mao Xiang, who had just heard that the emperor and the prince were missing at the same time, and suddenly found out that the emperor had returned: !!!
The nine clans were saved!
It's not broken anymore! It's been put together!
