The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 221

Chang Xi watched the waterwheel walking outwards, leaving two deep ruts on the ground. Several guards were about to close the heavy red wooden door. He let out a long breath and prayed secretly: May Xiao My sister is living a happy life outside the palace.

Just as he turned around to leave, he heard a shout from behind: "Stop!"

Chang Xi was taken aback. It seemed that she was discovered hiding behind a tree. What should I do? !I can't justify strolling to the east gate early in the morning because of emotion and reason, so I have to.I had no choice but to shirk that I couldn't sleep and wandered around, so I came here inadvertently.

Turning around and looking, I felt cold sweat dripping down my face.

It turned out that it wasn't her who was scolded, but the servant who had already left the east gate!The waiter trembled for a while, but he didn't dare to move rashly, so he had to stand where he was, trying to see why he was stopped.

Xiao Meiren was thinking about the happy life of the two after leaving the palace, but was frightened by the guard's yell, half of her soul and seven souls scattered, she shrank in the innermost part of the waterwheel, trembling secretly.

The guard who checked at the door just now walked over and frowned and said, "What's in it?" The little servant said calmly, "There's nothing, it's an empty cart after delivering water!"

"Nonsense!" the guard sneered.

Chang Xi wondered, how could he know that the water tanker was not empty!You must know that the water truck will come and go every morning, and the general guards know about it and will not stop it!
The guard pointed at the two ruts made by the waterwheel, and snorted coldly: "It snowed heavily last night, and we haven't had time to clean it. If the waterwheel was empty, the ruts would never be so deep."

Looking at the little waiter who had been left with two black marks by the waterwheel, his legs were shaking like chaff, and he had nothing to say.

Chang Xi at the side was so frightened that his heart was splitting!If this is found out, I'm afraid.I'm afraid, she shivered, and her heart was burning with anxiety.

"What are you doing!" A man in armor in the distance, holding a long sword in his hand, strode towards this side.

The guard cupped his fists and said, "See General Hengyue!"

Heng Yue hummed, "If you don't guard the palace gate, what are you doing here!" There was anger in the words.

The guard said: "The general dare not chat here, it's just that this servant wanted to smuggle things out of the palace, and the general caught him!"

"Smuggling things? This is obviously a water truck from the Shangshi Bureau. What's wrong? Let it go quickly!" Heng Yue's hand holding the sword was obviously sweating slightly.

"General, there is really something inside! If you don't believe me, look at the ruts on the ground! The things in the waterwheel are clearly heavy!" the guard said stubbornly.

Heng Yue broke into a cold sweat secretly, he really ignored the matter of the rut, under the watchful eyes of everyone, this guard insisted that this servant smuggled property from the palace, how could he force him to let go!Isn't this a huge flaw!Once the news of Xiao Er's disappearance spreads in a few days, this place will bear the brunt of the investigation!For the current plan, only by opening the water tanker on site for inspection can we convince the public, but open it. .

Xiao Meiren heard clearly in the waterwheel, two lines of tears rolled down, it seemed that she could not escape such a cruel fate.

The guard said: "I heard that things were often lost in the inner palace in the past few days. It is very likely that this servant did it. Please allow the general to investigate!" Reciprocate politely.

Heng Yue had no choice but to say: "Okay, let's check over there!" He took a step back and stood by the side of the road, the sword in his hand was shaking slightly.

The guard stepped forward to check, and the little servant was so frightened that he ran forward and said, "There is really nothing in here!"

"Go away! I'll find something in a while, and I'll give you something to eat!" The guard frowned and pushed the servant aside, and fell to the ground. The servant was so frightened that he sat on the ground and began to cry.

The guard opened the cork on the wooden barrel of the waterwheel, and was about to peek inside. Beauty Xiao subconsciously huddled in front of the waterwheel, hoping that this person would not see her.

"Ouch!" The guard was about to take a closer look into the dark waterwheel when he heard a woman calling for help.

"Hey! Come, come!" The guard was stunned, then looked back, and saw a woman sitting under a tree, as if her ankle was sprained, and she was calling for help with her handkerchief raised.All the guards looked there, and Heng Yue recognized Chang Xi with his sharp eyes, and hurriedly took this opportunity to shout loudly: "It's Wu Zhaoyi! The lady Zhaoyi is probably injured, come with me!" As he said, he strode toward the tree run down.

When the guard heard that Chang Xi was injured, this was much more important than the waterwheel in front of him!In case something happened to Wu Zhaoyi in the place under his jurisdiction, His Majesty would have to kill him. In a panic, he put down the cork and ran towards Chang Xi.

"What's wrong with Wu Zhaoyi!" A group of people gathered around and helped Chang Xi up.

Chang Xi intentionally acted like a sprained ankle, and moaned: "I want to go out for a walk, but I don't know that the snow is slippery here, I sprained my ankle, and I can't go, please General Hengyue find someone to take me back to Jiaofangdian!"

"Zhaoyi don't worry!" Heng Yue glanced at Chang Xi gratefully, if she hadn't followed her kindly, if she hadn't had an idea, Xiao Meiren might have been caught by now.

"You, you! Send Empress Zhaoyi back to the palace!" Heng Yue pointed to the guard just now, then pointed to another person, and ordered loudly.

The guard was very happy to see this job, Wu Zhaoyi is His Majesty's new favorite, escorting the master back to the palace like this is considered a great achievement, immediately helped Chang Xi up with one hand, respectfully said: "I will offend you!" A guard gently lifted Chang Xi up and helped him back to Jiaofang Hall.

Seeing the backs of them gone, Heng Yue breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said: "The inspection has been completed, let them go! You all return to your original positions, so you can stand guard!"

"No!" All the guards clasped their fists in agreement.

The little servant sitting on the ground saw that the danger had been saved, he couldn't help laughing through his tears, got up from the ground, wiped the snow on his buttocks indiscriminately, raised his whip and yelled and jumped into the car.

Heng Yue looked at him with anger in his heart. Who was Si Shan looking for this week? He was so timid and fearful that he almost showed his feet. Wu Zhaoyi had to be astute, otherwise the consequences of this matter would be disastrous.

Chang Xi was supported by them, walked a few steps, secretly relieved, this morning was really dangerous, if he was caught, wouldn't his idea hurt them!Everything went well, but my foot injury needs to be discussed with the imperial physician, and how to see Miss Xiao tomorrow, how to keep it a secret, and how to make others not doubt me when Miss Xiao disappears, I have to think about it step by step Otherwise, Concubine Li will definitely catch her and put her to death!
What if Li Longji knew that he secretly helped others transport his woman out of the palace!what will happen to himThinking of this, Chang Xi, who lowered his head, shivered subconsciously.

Just as she was thinking about it, the two guards suddenly stopped for some reason, causing Chang Xi to stagger forward, and a pair of exquisite boots came into her eyes.

"See Your Majesty!" The two servants shouted in unison, almost knocking out of Chang Xi's soul, slowly raised his head, and saw Li Longji standing there with an angry face.

"Where are you going! It's snowing so much!" Li Longji held his hands behind his back, his eyes lingering on Chang Xi, "Do you know that I have been looking for you all night!"

"One night?" Chang Xi was a little confused, hadn't he been in Caoye Naji's room all the time!How did you find yourself all night?Chang Xi's face was the same color as Bai Xue's, and even his hands were trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Li Longji grabbed her arm and pulled it back into his arms. Regardless of whether there were guards present or not, she would be ashamed, so he shouted loudly: "When you go out at night, I don't know how to bring more people and wear more clothes." Some clothes! It will make a mess, let me worry about it!"

"No. No, not next time! Your Majesty calm down!" Chang Xi's teeth chattered lightly, not because of the cold, but because of fear!She clearly saw that damn waterwheel stopped outside the east gate again, and she didn't know why it hadn't left yet!

The guard hurriedly said: "Miss Zhaoyi sprained her ankle while walking, and the general is about to send her back to Jiaofang Hall!"

"Still sprained your foot?!" Li Longji's anger immediately increased a little, "You are getting more and more capable!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please go back and scold the concubine! The concubine is really cold!" Chang Xi curled up in his arms, trembling all over, looking at him with pleading eyes, feeling very upset, if The guard mentioned what happened just now with a mean mouth, which made Li Longji suspect that he, Heng Yue and Xiao Meiren were dead without a place to die!
Li Longji snorted coldly, and hugged her tightly, "I'm going to settle accounts with you when I go back!"

Chang Xi let out a long breath in her heart.

"Your Majesty!" Looking at Li Longji who was about to leave, the guard thought for a while, and finally wanted to claim credit, "Just now at the east gate, the general found a suspicious servant who wanted to smuggle things out of the palace!"

Hearing what he said, Chang Xi felt thunderous, and stood in Li Longji's arms blankly, her lips trembling, but she couldn't make a sound.

"Oh?" Li Longji turned around again, "I hate these people the most! Where are they?"

"That!" Seeing that Li Longji was so angry, the guard happily pointed at the waterwheel at the east gate that was lying on its side due to the wheels falling off!
It's really stuffy for people to drink cold water on their backs!How could a good car break down!Chang Xi repeatedly scolded the water tanker and the little servant ten thousand times in his heart.

Li Longji frowned, and took Chang Xi to take a look.Standing at the east gate, Heng Yue, who was helping the servant to repair the car, looked at this side with a dead face.

Chang Xi squeezed Li Longji's arm, "Your Majesty, this concubine is really uncomfortable! Let's accompany this concubine back to the Jiaofang Palace first, and leave this trivial matter to General Hengyue!"

Li Longji looked at the weak woman in his arms, frowned, and just about to agree, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. He couldn't explain what it was, but he always felt that something was wrong today.

People who compete in the political vortex all year round are very sensitive and trust their intuition very much. He pondered for a moment, and then ordered Gao Lishi behind him: "Send Wu Zhaoyi back to Jiaofang Palace, and I will deal with this matter. Hurry back!" He said that he was going to hand Chang Xi in his arms to Gao Lishi, and Gao Lishi was about to make a promise, only to hear Chang Xi timidly say in the wind: "The concubine wants to go back with your majesty. !"

"Alright!" Chang Xi thought that Li Longji would take her hand back to the Jiaofang Hall, but he took her to the east gate.

Chang Xi felt a chill in his heart, and there was a slight bitterness in his mouth. It seemed that he couldn't hide it, no matter what, he couldn't hide it. Thinking of this, he put his heart on the line and let him do what he wants!
