Modern Couples' Life in Women's Society

Chapter 172 The Disappearance of Empress Su Prince (Part [-])
Xiao Heng also saw it by accident, and started to investigate after being suspicious. After investigation, he found some abnormalities, and gradually got some clues. These clues all pointed to Li Guijun's father and daughter and Li Guijun's mother, General Li Shiyu.General Li Shiyu was originally the general guarding the city of Wuyuan Prefecture, and he only returned to Yandu at the end of the year to report on his duties. However, just the day before, Xiao Heng got definite news that someone saw General Li Shiyu leaving Yandu in a hurry on the second day of June.

After hearing the whole story, Xiao Tong thought for a moment and took a deep breath. Wuyuan Prefecture is the state closest to Yin Guo. She used to be most worried that Qi State and Yin Guohui would unite to deal with Yan State, but now she has more Serious information, not only to worry about the two countries joining forces, but also to worry about the betrayal of the Yan people, colluding with Qi or Yin.

It's not that she hadn't thought about it before, but she knew that in this era, there were no tactics used in war, and everyone around her was very patriotic and had a strong sense of belonging to Yan, so she gradually let go of these worries.

At this moment, thinking of this, I immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Xiao Tong quickly said to Xiao Heng, "Daughter, in this way, it can be concluded that the Holy Majesty and the prince were sent to Wuyuan, and Wuyuan is very dangerous. This General Li Shiyu may have colluded with the outside world. Yin is possible, but Qi is more likely. The first day of June is the day when Qi sends troops to attack Maoling again, so according to my guess, it should be Qi."

"Li Guijun, the Third Empress Xiao Yong and those close to them in this palace must be guarded immediately to prevent them from spreading news or doing anything bad. This is the first thing that needs to be done urgently. "

"Okay, although there is no evidence yet, but just in case, this is the only way to do it." Xiao Heng was shocked by what Xiao Tong said, his face was constantly changing, and he let out a sigh of relief after a while, and immediately acted. decided.

"Sister Tong, you just said the first thing to do. Is there a second thing to do? How should we deal with the situation you just said." Xiao Heng continued, and what Xiao Tong said happened completely. As smart and wise as she was, she was a little bit confused for a moment, not knowing what to do, but fortunately there was Xiao Tong beside her, so she asked directly.

"The second thing is to quickly send people to Wuyuan to secretly check the local situation, and send people to garrison, collect information from time to time, observe the dynamics of all Wuyuan, so as to grasp the situation and judge the specific situation. If Wuyuan Prefecture If Li Shiyu, a traitor, has really appeared, then other places are also possible. Therefore, every place needs this, including Citong and Maoling. I always feel that there must be problems in the three places of Wuyuan, Citong and Maoling. .”

"Looking at Maoling's attack a few years ago, we can see that they are very familiar with Maoling's situation by looking at the behavior of Qi State. Everything can be explained. My speculation is not alarmist talk, but a real existence. I also ask the princess to consider and deal with it just now. said things."

As soon as Xiao Tong's words fell, Xiao Heng looked at Xiao Tong unconsciously with a look of scrutiny in his eyes, Xiao Tong smiled helplessly, and then looked back calmly, maybe she did something today, it is normal to arouse her suspicion, But she had to do this. When her mother didn't know whether she was alive or dead, she didn't have the heart to guide her one by one.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Heng smiled apologetically and looked away, "Okay, I will order people to do the two things you mentioned immediately." What Xiao Tong said made her suspicious.

"Okay." Xiao Tong breathed a sigh of relief, "Ma'am, since I have deduced that the Holy Majesty and the prince are in Wuyuan, and the prince is in Yandu, I will set off for Wuyuan immediately. The longer it takes, the more dangerous they will be."

"Don't worry, you just arrived at Yandu today. You need to rest for one night before setting off anyway. We need to work together to find the emperor and aunt. If you don't have a good rest, it's not good to fall down first. Besides, the emperor Grandpa is not doing well these few days, and he always talks about you, so you should go see him first." Xiao Heng hurriedly stopped him.

"Okay, then I'll go tomorrow, and now I'll go to see Grandpa Huang." Xiao Tong thought about it and did the same, but he didn't insist.

It was decided, Xiao Tong bid farewell to the Crown Princess Xiao Heng for the time being, went to Shou'an Palace, and met the Empress Dowager in Shou'an Palace.

Compared with Xiao Heng's growth, the emperor's dowager aged rapidly in a short period of time. He was full of energy last time, but now his face is full of exhaustion.He is strong and sits in front of the police station, making the police follow the usual routine, and no mistakes are allowed. The majestic him makes the public not dare to act casually.It's just that he, who lost news of his two daughters at the same time, quickly aged.He is still noble, rational and calm in front of others, but behind others, he is like an ordinary father, an ordinary old man, showing deep worries.

Seeing Xiao Tong appearing in front of his eyes, the tears in his eyes fell like broken rain, he hugged Xiao Tong tightly and choked up, "My Ah Tong, your mother and your emperor My aunt disappeared in the palace, as if she had evaporated, but my father didn't know until the second day after they disappeared..." He chattered, expressing his worries and self-blame.

Xiao Tong didn't intervene, and let him talk, she knew that the Emperor Taifu was strong, but he needed some venting, he needed to express the anguish in his heart, and he would become strong again after speaking.He, in this process, does not need comfort, does not need unnecessary words, just needs a person who listens to him patiently.

In the past, Xiao Tong and the Crown Prince had a very good relationship. Xiao Tong was not very good in front of outsiders, but in front of the Emperor and Prince Su, he was a really good boy, a quiet good boy.

It is also because of this that this scene happened.

Xiao Tong gently hugged the emperor's wife, listened to his words, saw Qi You standing aside, saw him smiling slightly, with comfort and encouragement in his eyes, Xiao Tong cheered up and smiled back.

As Xiao Tong said, after crying and venting, after washing her face and putting on makeup again, everything returned to normal. She pulled Xiao Tong to look and look, nagging her to make up for her, and then pulled her to stop. Let go, the attitude is closer than the last time we met.

It's just that Xiao Tong feels that he is often absent-minded, and when he looks at her, it seems that he always looks at other people through him. Xiao Tong thinks it should be Prince Su, and he understands.He followed his wishes all the time, and when the empress Xiao Heng came after finishing the matter, the tired emperor had already rested.

Leaving Qiyou to look after the empress dowager, Xiao Heng and Xiao Tong went out of the Shouan Palace together. After having dinner, the two went to the imperial study. , although the crown daughter is still the identity of the crown daughter, she is exercising the power of the empress.

They discussed all the problems in the imperial study for a long time, and when it was near midnight, the two left the imperial study and went to rest separately.

After a night's rest, the next day, before dawn, Xiao Tong left the palace and Yandu in the quiet morning, and went to Wuyuan with Qiyou to find clues about the Queen and Prince Su. The accompanying people remained the same. , and there are more people who want to be with the empress dowager.

On Xiao Tong's way to Wuyuan, the Queen and Prince Su were besieged in Wuyuan as Xiao Tong expected, but the situation was worse than Xiao Tong expected, because Wuyuan was not only dangerous, but also completely captured. The second princess, Qi Huaying, led the troops to completely capture and control Wuyuan without the people of Wuyuan knowing it.

And the origin of all this has to be talked about from the beginning, from decades ago.
