Chapter 83
Although Mei Guiren was annoyed, she was afraid that contradicting the emperor would cause trouble, so she had to hold back.Remembering that the emperor had been missing for half the morning, he couldn't help asking: "Where did the emperor go this morning? The concubine is really worried."

"Where is I going? Do I still have to explain to you?!" The emperor Lei Ting was furious, and shouted: "Get out!"

Mei Guiren was overwhelmed with embarrassment, bit her lip, and finally retreated due to the imperial power.

As soon as she returned to the palace, she was so angry that she smashed things all over the floor!
My heart, which was so cold that there was only a trace of warmth left, became cold again, and now there is no warmth at all. It seems that I have really fallen out of favor.Even if the members of the Mei family were sacrificed, the emperor's heart would not be restored. If the king of Yan was defeated, he would also be defeated. He would not be able to become the adoptive mother of the next emperor. What awaited him would be to be buried!

No!Don't die yourself.

In the afternoon, another gossip came.

"Yesterday, the empress rewarded the princesses of the four counties with some South Sea pearls. When the emperor heard about it, he remembered that there was no reward for a piece of pearl that was presented as a tribute last year, so he ordered the rewards to be given to the princesses of the four counties."

"Bang Dang!" Mei Guiren threw the mirror in his hand and smashed it to the ground!
What is Shao Xianhui? !It's just a county princess, and the emperor rewarded her alone?She is not a harem concubine, why?So, can it be explained that the emperor has already regarded Gao Chen as the candidate for the crown prince and Shao Xianhui as the future crown prince?I really have no way out.

Mei Guiren remembered the agreement with King Yan, his eyes sank, and finally decided to fight to the death!
The next day was the day when all the vassal kings had an audience.

Although Gao Chen has an injury on his waist, he can't be absent because of this, even if he only has his last breath left, he has to go to the Golden Luan Hall to meet the emperor before dying, otherwise it will be a crime of disrespect.Fortunately, the emperor was tolerant, and specially ordered Gao Chen to be carried in on a stretcher, and then gave him a seat.

This kind of situation inevitably makes the vassal kings speculate endlessly.

——It’s just that no one dared to speak.

On the other side, Xianhui and Mrs. Zhen Guo went to Fengyi Palace together.

Gao Chen is not in the palace, so he is worried about her. Mrs. Zhen Guo and Queen Wu want to cultivate a relationship with her, so they must get together.Let's talk about homework, and then reward some gold and silver jewelry, as well as precious spices, silk, and medicinal materials for Gao Chen. In short, they are extremely affectionate.

Then it is necessary to stay for lunch before sending him out of the palace.

Before leaving, Xian Hui thanked her again and again, "I have spent so much money on the empress, and I have bothered you for so long, and I have nothing to repay. If you have time, let's make something for the empress."

Empress Wu smiled and said: "That is of course very good. I heard that you are very good at sewing."

Xian Hui humbled herself, "Don't dare, that's all because of my stepmother's love for me."

Mrs. Zhen Guo smiled and said: "I'm telling the truth." She took off a sachet from her waist and handed it to the queen, "Empress, take a look, isn't this sewing very good? It's one in a million."

Even if Xian Hui's needlework is not good, Empress Wu will definitely have to praise her a few words, not to mention that she is very good, so naturally she should praise her even more, "That's right, I'll make one for Ben Gong just like this later."

——This is the best compliment.

Xianhui responded with a smile, "Yes, I will embroider a more detailed one for the Empress."

Empress Wu warned in a low voice, "It's good for you to stay still like this now, don't be impetuous. Recently, Mrs. Meigui has been so quiet. I'm afraid there will be storms. Let's wait and see what happens to deal with it."

Xianhui nodded, "Yes, I will tell the king of the four counties." He said again: "When the king of the four counties recovers from his injuries, I will go to the palace to visit the empress when I am free." It means, look for it later Opportunity to discuss.

Empress Wu saw that she was a sensible person, so she stopped talking and said with a smile, "It's good to go back."

"Retire first." Xian Hui and Mrs. Zhen Guo bowed together and left.

Empress Wu was a little tired after being with her for a long time, but she was in a happy mood.

It seems that Gao Chen and Xianhui are very good at pleasing the emperor. It can even be said that the emperor has already favored Gao Chen as the crown prince and Xianhui as the crown prince.This result is naturally satisfactory and cannot be more satisfactory.

It's a pity that I didn't be happy for a long time. Just as I was about to rest, someone from the palace came to report in a panic, "I want to report to the empress! The princesses of the four counties and Mrs. Zhenguo just arrived at Xianghe Street when they encountered a fire in a restaurant, and the people on the street were rioting. As a result, Dispersed the carriage team..."

Empress Wu slapped the table and said angrily, "Stop talking so much nonsense, pick up the important ones!"

The palace servant was so frightened that he trembled all over, and stammered: "Fourth...the concubine of the four counties, no, she's gone."

Today's vassal king had an audience, Gao Chen was injured, King Yan was sent to the clan mansion, the atmosphere was a bit weird.

The emperor was not in a hurry to deal with King Yan because of the meeting with the vassal king, otherwise it would only be more ugly if the trouble broke out.But even so, everyone was whispering non-stop, looking very disturbing.So after the cutscene was over, I barely had lunch with the feudal lords, and then they dispersed.

As usual, a royal hunt will be arranged in a few days to enhance the relationship between the royal family and the feudal lord.

However, Gao Chen can't participate in this matter for the time being.After the other vassals left, they reported to the emperor alone, "In a few days, the minister will not participate in the royal hunting." Then he said a few pleasant words, "First of all, I wish the emperor a victory in flying the banner and take the lead, and I will reward you later." Just a piece of fox fur will do."

The emperor laughed and said, "You kid, just be lazy and ask me for something." But after all, looking at the young, handsome and savvy Gao Chen, thinking of his good performance all the time, he is still satisfied , "Don't worry, you will definitely need a fox fur when you turn back, just go back."

Gao Chen saluted and left on the stretcher.

The first thing is to go to Fengyi Palace to sit and talk with the queen, and pick up Xianhui by the way.

However, when we arrived at Fengyi Palace, we found that Empress Wu's expression was a bit dignified, and what was even more strange was that Xianhui was not by her side, so she couldn't help but wonder, "Your Majesty, where is Xianhui?"

Empress Wu didn't know what to say.

Originally, Xianhui was supposed to wait for Gao Chen in Fengyi Palace.But because of the selfishness of himself and the Wu family, he told her to go to the Zhenguo mansion first, then inform Gao Chen, and then go to the Zhenguo mansion to pick up her.At that time, the young couple happened to be sitting in Zhen Guogong's mansion, and had dinner on the way back.

This was originally a good intention, but... good intentions did something bad!Wrong thing!

Not to mention Xianhui's bond between the Wu family and Prince Qing's mansion, nor Gao Chen's concern for Xianhui, just to say that Xianhui is missing now, whether he is alive or dead, and his innocence is hard to guarantee. What big basket?That alone is enough to cause a splitting headache.

"Empress Empress..." Gao Chen frowned, the other party kept silent, and he was not easy to blame, so he could only ask tactfully, "Did Xianhui make you angry? Or did Xianhui go wandering?" Suddenly thinking of Mrs. Zhen Guo He was not there either, "Oh, did Xian Hui and Mrs. Zhen Guo leave first?"

"The king of the four counties, you and I told the palace." Empress Wu really couldn't say it, but she couldn't delay the matter, she gritted her teeth and said, "Just now Xianhui and Mrs. Zhen Guo went out of the palace together, and they originally said to go to the Duke's mansion... ..." He spoke quickly, telling Xianhui and Mrs. Zhen Guo that when they left the palace, they encountered a fire on the road, the carriage broke up, and people disappeared.

Xianhui is missing!
Gao Chen suddenly felt as if someone had poured a basin of ice water on his head. It was cold and cold, soaking into every pore. With his usual quick response, he was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and said angrily: "Xianhui is fine!" How could such a living person disappear?"

How could Empress Wu fail to understand the anger in his eyes?Although being glared at by a little county king made her, the queen, very uncomfortable, she was at a loss and had to make up hastily: "Don't worry, fourth child, the moment I got the news, people have already secretly searched for it. gone."

"Where's that person?" Gao Chen stood up angrily, dragging the wound on his body, sat back in pain, and then said coldly: "When I went out this morning, I originally escorted Xian Hui with the troops from Prince Qing's mansion. Mrs. Zhen Guo came to pick him up, and she kept saying that the Zhen Guo Mansion is responsible for security matters, and that’s how it is now?!" He stood up again, not wanting to say anything, and planned to go out on his own.

"Fourth!" Empress Wu became anxious when she heard the words, and stepped forward to stop him, "I am afraid that you will get angry in such a hurry. Listen to me, the disappearance of Xianhui must not be a disturbance." Quickly persuaded: "If there is a quarrel, what will happen to her innocence and reputation? Isn't it all ruined? Therefore, this matter can be investigated secretly."

Gao Chen paused.

Empress Wu knew that he was concerned about it, so she was very angry, and said quickly: "You have to remember, if Xianhui's reputation is ruined, your reputation will also be ruined."

A cold light flashed in Gao Chen's eyes.

What the other party meant was that the innocence of Xianhui, the princess of the four counties, could not be destroyed, otherwise her own reputation would be damaged, which would affect the matter of the adoptive crown prince.In their eyes, Xianhui is a pawn that can be used. When it comes to danger, they don't even bother to cover up the veil.

Empress Wu was really anxious, and said again: "Fortunately, Xianhui went out with Mrs. Zhenguo. Now the Zhenguo Mansion has picked up the carriage, and it is only said that Mrs. Zhenguo and Xianhui were frightened and stayed in the mansion for the time being. Rehabilitation. Let's inquire about it without revealing the truth, so as to prevent rumors from spreading."

"Empress, you don't need to persuade me, I know it in my heart." Gao Chen refused to give in, "In your eyes, Xianhui is actually nothing." Even training himself is just a puppet they chose, "But for For me, Gao Chen, Xianhui is my wife, the one who will accompany me through the wind and rain all my life!"

Even if she didn't have the sworn love, she was not wrong, she was the first wife that she was marrying!
"I know, I know." Empress Wu didn't dare to offend him at this time, she softened her tone, and she really had to say, "Fourth, don't be impulsive. Xianhui's disappearance is very strange, and someone is probably scheming , I am afraid that the person who will be targeted in the end will be you."

"So what?!" Gao Chen asked angrily.

"Don't you understand?" Empress Wu sighed and said, "Even if Xianhui is alive, if she is disturbed by someone with a heart, then she will be out of morals." She gritted her teeth, "At this time, we must not give up because of distress. She sacrificed the overall situation..."

"Enough!" Gao Chen has never felt angry at this moment in his heart, like a raging flame, burning his calmness, "So what you mean, Xian Hui can only look for it secretly, if you find it, you can find it, if you can't find it, Let’s just say she’s dead, right? At that time, even if someone pushes Xian Hui out, as long as I don’t recognize her and say she was someone else pretending to be, it’s over.”

At that time, even if Xianhui didn't die, she would have to be forced to death.

If so, is he still a man as a husband?Still a human?What an asshole!
Empress Wu might as well be so sharp, she couldn't help muttering, "It's good that you know."

I have no idea! "Gao Chen couldn't contain his anger, and he didn't have time to grind his mouth here, he didn't let anyone carry the stretcher, he reluctantly went out the door, and walked out of the hall in a big stride.

Gao Chen came back to Prince Qing's Mansion as quickly as possible, his face darkened.

This time the vassal lord had an audience, and Prince Qing's mansion sent several capable staff members to accompany him.Of course, this was just a preparation for a rainy day, and no one hoped that something would happen, but unexpectedly, two shocking events happened in succession!First, Gao Chen was humiliated and assassinated, and then the princesses of the four counties disappeared.

After hearing the news, the staff quickly gathered and rushed over.

"What do you think about this matter?" Gao Chen asked solemnly.

What can the staff think?We can only get together to analyze, who is going to attack the princess of the four counties?What will you do with the princesses of the four counties?Why is Mrs. Zhen Guo injured and still there, but the princesses of the four counties just disappeared?After all, it was nothing more than the people from the Mei family who did it.

After all, the princesses of the four counties have no other enemies in the capital.

Gao Chen's face was as cold as ice, and he said: "The empress means that this matter should not be publicized, lest it spread and cause a storm in the city, which is not good. Moreover, I am afraid that the other party will be forced to jump over the wall in a hurry. Unfavorable, so I can only check it in private."

Although she was annoyed at Empress Wu's behavior of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but for the sake of Xianhui's reputation, she really couldn't say anything.

Several staff members were all trembling, afraid of being burned by the wrath of the four county kings, they said repeatedly: "Yes, we will go down and arrange people." This kind of thing is not just a matter of making suggestions.

Fortunately, Gao Chen didn't take his anger out on others, closed his eyes, as if he was extremely tired, "You guys go down."

The staff immediately left in a hurry as if they had received an amnesty.

But there was a young staff member who went out and turned back.This person had just entered Prince Qing's Mansion as an aide not long ago, and because he was young and unorganized, he basically had no chance to speak.This time when he went to Beijing, Gao Chen was still optimistic about him, so he was able to go with him by calling his name out of the ordinary, which caused dissatisfaction among the old staff.

"Ning Yuxi." Gao Chen looked at the other party, "Do you have anything else to do?"
