Killer Pretty Queen

Chapter 196 The Prince Is Missing

How could Emperor Ling Hui expect that such a big incident would happen to the envoy of the Jing Kingdom in just one night.

At this moment, Emperor Hui's heart skipped a beat when he heard someone explain the situation: "There is such a thing?" When he said this, the emperor's eyes couldn't help but flash across the hall. sweep.

General Xiao Chaogui immediately went out to testify: "Your Majesty, this veteran testifies that this envoy has been waiting at the gate of the palace for nearly half an hour."

Then, Prime Minister Yuwen and Lord Shangshu also came out to testify one after another.

The emperor glanced at everyone again, and finally nodded again: "I understand."

The most urgent task right now is naturally to send an imperial doctor to check on Lord Zhan's condition.

Just listen to the emperor at this time ordering the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital Qin to say: "Qin Aiqing, I want you to follow this messenger to the post house immediately, and be sure to find out what kind of disease Lord Zhan has. After you find out, please do your best Do your best to save him."

At the same time, the emperor immediately issued an order to draw [-] soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army from the palace to start a search in the whole city, making sure to find the missing Prince Kadar as soon as possible.

Seeing that the emperor attached so much importance to this matter, the envoy quickly knelt down to thank him, and with great gratitude, he went out of the palace and returned to the post house with Qin Taiyi.

After the group of them left, according to the usual practice, it was time to deal with the daily memorials handed in from the local government.

The chief deacon Chen Tingzhong followed the emperor's instructions and sang: "There is a decree from the Holy Spirit, if there is something to do, we will play it, and if there is nothing to do, we will leave the court!"

Afterwards, someone came out to present today's memorial as usual, the emperor patiently dealt with these trivial matters when he saw it, and then ordered the chief deacon Chen Tingzhong to announce his early departure from the court.

However, when everyone withdrew one by one, the head deacon quickly got down from the emperor and stopped several people one after another.

In a group of people, there are several princes, as well as the general, the prime minister, and the minister.

The chief deacon stopped everyone from opening their mouths and said: "Everyone, there is a decree from the Holy Spirit, and I invite you all to gather together in the meeting hall."

Everyone nodded yes.After that, he followed the emperor and the chief deacon to the meeting hall located in the side hall.

There was a long dark red table in the hall, and the chief deacon helped the emperor to the top of the table and sat down.

The ministers also sat down on both sides of the table one by one.

After the emperor sat down, he raised his eyes to sweep everyone away, but his brows were furrowed even more tightly.

After a long time, he just heard him say: "Where did Prince Wu and King Mingcheng go? Why didn't I see the two of them leaving the court this morning?"

The ministers also looked at each other when they heard the words.

In fact, the emperor didn't need to ask, everyone had already discovered it as early as above the Golden Luan Hall.It's fine if you explain King Cheng, after all, King Mingcheng is often not in Beijing because of the prince's affairs.

In contrast, Prince Wu has always been conscientious on weekdays, but today, for the first time, he did not appear in everyone's field of vision.This has to make everyone suspicious.

Seeing the envoy of Jingguo crying and making a statement, everyone couldn't help thinking of the angry appearance of Prince Wu and King Mingcheng yesterday.Therefore, as early as that time, some people had secretly doubted in their hearts, guessing whether this matter had anything to do with the two princes.

But it turned out that not only the ministers, but even the emperor seemed to think so.

"Chen Tingzhong!" But at this time, the emperor had already called the chief deacon, "You send someone to go, and order Prince Wu and King Mingcheng to come to the palace to see me!"

Not long after the people sent by Chen Tingzhong went out, there was a sudden commotion outside the palace gate.

The guards of the Yulin Army came to report: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the envoy of the Jing Kingdom outside the palace gate is leading a group of guards to make a fuss to break in."

The emperor was surprised when he heard the words, "What's going on?"

The guard replied: "My minister heard that when the imperial doctor Qin and the mirror envoy arrived at the posthouse, Lord Zhan had passed away."

When the emperor heard it, he was even more shocked: "What did you say? Then Prince Zhan, he has died?"

The guard replied: "That's right, that's what I heard from them. And I also heard that until this time, there is no trace of Prince Kadar, so they suspected that all this was deliberately set up by my court." scam."

"It's so unreasonable!" Hearing what the guard said, Prime Minister Yuwen finally couldn't bear it anymore, "In this way, those mirror envoys, don't they want to go against the sky?"

The guard said: "What the prime minister said is that at this moment, the guards of Kadar's mirror army are clamoring for the emperor to give them an explanation. They also threatened that if the emperor does not give them an explanation this time, they will It will definitely not let it go.”

"Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Yuwen stood up from his seat at this time, cupped his hands and said to the emperor: "Please rest assured that the emperor will leave this matter in the hands of Weichen. Weichen still doesn't believe it. The ability of the ministers is still not enough to deal with the Tartars of their vassal states."

The emperor also nodded to him quickly when he heard the words: "In this case, this matter should be handed over to you, Yuwen Aiqing first. I also hope that Aiqing will try to find a way to stabilize them when you go this time. .We will make other plans after we hear from Prince Wu and King Mingcheng."

"Old minister understands!" After Prime Minister Yuwen finished speaking, he turned around and called the guards to go out together.

Seeing that half an hour had passed, the emperor couldn't help but frowned more and more tightly, "Wu Prince Wu and Ming Cheng Wang haven't passed it on yet?"

But at this moment, a moon-white figure flashed in from outside the hall: "Father, my son is here!"

Emperor Hui took a look at King Mingcheng who had sneaked in, and his heart was only half relieved, but when he thought that Prince Wu hadn't shown up until now, his heart couldn't help but tugged again.

Turning his head, the emperor glanced at the chief deacon irritably, and asked, "Why, King Mingcheng has already come, and Prince Wu hasn't been found yet?"

But at this time, a guard had already stepped forward and whispered in the head deacon's ear.

Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help saying angrily: "You two, what are you biting your ears on? If you have something to say, don't you hurry up and report it?"

The chief deacon lowered his head and stepped forward, but couldn't help but muttered: "Reporting to the emperor, Lord Wu...has already left the city with Feng Nanmo Bei at dusk yesterday."

The emperor was shocked when he heard the words: "What did you say?"

The chief deacon repeated: "Prince Wu has already left the city yesterday, but he has not returned yet..."

"It's simply absurd!" This time, the emperor finally couldn't bear it and became furious.

Afterwards, the emperor suddenly turned his head and looked at the general, "Xiaoqing's family, who is currently stationed outside the city?"

Xiao Chaogui hurriedly got up and stepped forward, cupped his fists and said, "Since Envoy Jing went to court yesterday, the two generals, Lu Sen and Bai Qiliang, have probably returned to the camp."

Hearing what the general said, Emperor Hui's eyes could not help but close tightly suddenly.

As the saying goes, knowing a son is like a father.

This time, in the emperor's heart, he has already concluded that the disappearance of the mirror envoy must have a great relationship with Prince Wu.

Thinking about yesterday morning, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were unhappy because of the conditions proposed by Nakadar.This point, even Emperor Hui's own heart is no exception.

Fortunately, after retiring from the imperial court, everything was calm. Even after a whole day passed, the emperor did not hear any other rumors of anything different.

Originally, I thought that this matter would eventually find a solution, but I didn't expect that such a shocking and huge evil was brewing under the superficial calm.

As early as this morning, when the mirror emissary went to the palace crying bitterly, the emperor had already had a bad feeling in his heart.

Originally, he wanted to discuss with the ministers how to deal with this matter, but he didn't want to take a look. Everyone had already arrived, but only Prince Wu and King Mingcheng were missing.

It's good now, the news of Kadar's disappearance came early in the morning, and immediately after that, even Prince Na Zhan passed away.But at this moment, outside the palace gate, there is even a group of guards from Jingguo making trouble.

Looking at the situation in front of him, the emperor's heart couldn't help but secretly heavy.

Of course he remembered that in the court yesterday, although everyone was unhappy, but his two sons had a strong reaction.

But even so, how could the two of them commit the matter of hijacking the envoy and killing someone?

However, Emperor Hui was not an ordinary person after all, and he was still able to hold his breath under such an extraordinary situation.Just to be able to wait for a while, even if it is to buy a moment for the two princes, it is good.

Fortunately, just when everyone was burning with anxiety, King Mingcheng hurried over.When the emperor saw him coming, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and he didn't ask him any more questions.

Originally, he wanted to wait for Lord Wu, but he waited and waited, but he never appeared.In the end, even the imperial bodyguard sent by the head deacon to look for him returned.Only then did the emperor decide in his heart that this matter must be related to Lord Wu.

However, the words came back again, even though the mirror envoy came down on the surface, but in the court hall where everyone was watching, he asked the emperor to give him Xiaoli by name as a sign of peace.Not only that, when his condition was opposed by everyone, Nakadar's tough attitude made people hate him even more.

In his capacity as an envoy of a defeated general, he dared to threaten to use the army to suppress the country again.As everyone knows, just his way of doing this is simply unreasonable.

The prince of the Jing Kingdom, a man who looks like a fairy, is a bit too arrogant and conceited.With his appearance, he was obviously mocking Da Lingchao for being unmanned.

However, even in this state, Huangfu Haobo, as the Prince of Wu, is known to everyone in the world as the second in line prince of the Daling Dynasty, so what he did today was a little too impulsive.

There is a saying that impulse is the devil.

Although that Kadar's attitude was really unbearable, at that time in the court, let alone someone else, in fact, even the emperor himself wished to give an order to take that person down and put him in prison thoughts among.

However, even though the emperor really thought so at that time, the emperor still tried his best to suppress the trace of anger in his heart when he thought of the etiquette that the Daling Dynasty had been famous for since ancient times.

After all, since ancient times, the Da Ling Dynasty has had the rules of treating envoys preferentially, at least on the bright side, they want to give the world such a recognition.

However, Prince Wu Huangfu Haobo is fine, even if his heart is very unhappy, even if even the emperor knows that his feelings for Xiao Li are irresistible, but his way of doing this is too much Some.

The disappearance of Prince Jing Country, the tragic death of Prince Jing.This was originally an unimaginable thing.

But how could Prince Wu, Huangfu, know so much about him so easily and dare to offend him?

However, at this time, what worried the emperor even more was that, as the Prince of Wu, Huangfu Haobo naturally held in his hands the personal life amulet that the emperor personally bestowed on him, which could mobilize 10 troops in an emergency.

There is a saying that the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be accepted.What's more, according to the emperor's understanding, those rough people in the army now absolutely love Xiaoli, the general who protects the country, and their respect for her has reached an unprecedented level of enthusiasm.

If this is the case, if Prince Wu used the envoy's insult to Xiao Li to incite the morale of the army, there would definitely not be a few people who would come forward to respond.

What's more, Lu Sen and Bai Qiliang are both in the army at the same time, and they are Xiao Li's sincere supporters, and they are important generals who can independently mobilize the army.

Thinking of this, even the emperor's heart suddenly became dark.

"King Mingcheng" turned his head, and the emperor took a look at Huangfu Haotian.

Huangfu Haotian hurried forward when he heard the words: "Father, my son is here."

He only listened to the emperor's strict order: "I order you to leave the city quickly this time to stop Prince Wu and his party."

As he said that, the emperor's eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of worry again: "Zhen, I don't want him to make this matter worse. Little Aiqing Xiaoli is my minister of humerus, so I naturally don't want her to I will suffer such a shame. However, there are many ways to solve this matter, and I only hope that Lord Wu will make such an extreme choice."
