Chapter 328 Missing
But as soon as she came to the palace, Mei Ruotian felt something different.

The royal palace, which was peaceful and solemn in the past, looks chaotic today, and people are turned on their backs.There were palace maids and eunuchs running around everywhere, he thought to himself, at most, the Holy Majesty disappeared, not just died, is there any need for this?
When entering the palace hall, it was even more noisy and uneasy.

The princes and ministers were whispering to each other, talking and talking, sighing and sighing, stomping their feet, walking with their hands behind their backs...

Long Luofeng sat high on the dragon chair, frowned, and tightly clenched the fan in his hand, but he didn't notice Mei Ruotian's arrival at all.

Yes, that's right, you read that right.

Long Luofeng, also known as Prince Xiaoyao, is sitting on a dragon chair, a dragon chair that only emperors can sit on throughout the ages.

So why?No matter how powerful Long Luofeng is, he is only a prince after all, why can he just sit on the dragon chair that only the emperor can sit on?
In fact, it was because of the strange emperor Long Luochen.

He moved countless strange edicts, one of which said that, except for him, anyone who wanted to do anything on this dragon chair could sit on it and have fun, of course it was just sitting.Throughout the ages, since so many people have killed themselves and killed each other for this dragon chair, it’s better to let you sit if you want, and try the dragon chair. It’s so hard that your butt hurts, but it’s actually not as comfortable as the bed at home. Well, why bother to have a country on your shoulders when your wife and children are hot on the kang?

Of course, the imperial decree said so, but besides Prince Xiaoyao, who else has the guts to touch that dragon chair?

Uh, Mei Ruotian is one.

Seeing this scene, Mei Ruotian was sure that it was not fake news.

He walked to Xuan Nuo and Zheng Shisan, the chief guards at the side, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

Xuan Nuo sighed, and his face was full of self-blame: "It's all my fault for my ineffective protection, which caused the Holy One to be taken away!"

"Abducted by someone? How could/?" Mei Ruotian was surprised that the palace guarded such a heavily guarded place.

"The Holy Majesty wanted to go out to play in the palace last night, but Yunniang lost her temper with me the day before yesterday. I promised to go back to her mother's house with her last night, so I..." Xuan Nuo was speechless, but his On purpose, to smile for Mrs. Bo, men are not easy!

"It's caused by love again, and a strict wife..." Mr. Zheng Shisan added fuel to the scene.

"Don't run on me, you're the same!" Xuan Nuo glared at him.

"I don't have a wife! Even if I do, I won't be afraid of her, okay? Man, who is like you?" Mr. Zheng Shisan said timidly.

But a few years later, when this master married a beautiful wife, he completely broke the "cowhide" with his own hands. The degree of strictness of his wife's control was definitely beyond the reach of all the brothers, and was laughed at by Xuan Nuo for many years.

Mei Ruotian laughed sullenly, thinking that the two of them are still in the mood to joke at this time, it seems that they are not in a hurry.

He shook his head and asked, "Do you know who was kidnapped? Who is so courageous?"

"According to the guards who fought against them, those people's skills and weapons seem to be from Fanbang. Except for those people who have been eyeing them all the time, no one has the courage." Xuan Nuo gritted his teeth and said with a sneer.

"Oh? People from Fanbang?" After Mei Ruotian asked this question, she became thoughtful.

"Report!!!"

At this time, a guard shouted from outside the hall.

"pass!!!"

Long Luofeng in the hall came back to his senses and shouted.

The guard walked in quickly, knelt down and said, "There is a letter outside the palace gate to pass!"

"Present it!" Long Luofeng took the envelope and hurriedly opened it to read.

"No reason!"

After reading it, Long Luofeng was so angry that he slammed the letter on the dragon chair.

Everyone below took a deep breath and fell silent.

After coming here for a while, Long Luofeng regained his composure.

"Your Majesty has already heard the news. This king will solve it on his own, and all the ministers can retreat."

……

At the end of the morning court, Long Luofeng, Mei Ruotian, Xuan Nuo, the head of the imperial guard, and Master Zheng Shisan held a discussion meeting in the Hall of Precepts.

"How is Xiao Chenzi?" Mei Ruotian was the first to speak.

"How do I know what's going on with him!" Long Luofeng was a little annoyed, thinking that if you ask me, who should I ask.

"As a brother, can you be more reliable? I mean, what did the letter say?" Mei Ruotian rolled her eyes.

"Anyway, it's his younger brother, so let's leave if he doesn't say anything." Zheng Shisan said coolly, and got up to leave.

"That's right." Mei Ruotian replied, and got up too.

"Hey!"

Long Luofeng hurriedly called them to stop, and said angrily: "Long Luochen is such a wimp! I raised you white-eyed wolves!"

Master Zheng Shisan ignored him and sat down coolly again.

If there were outsiders around, they would be surprised to see their way of speaking, but this is how they get along in private. There is no distinction between monarchs and ministers, just brothers and friends.

"Who knows if that guy was really taken into captivity? Or is it just to make us happy?" Mei Ruotian took a sip of water.

"It's true this time, alas." Long Luofeng sighed unprecedentedly.

"My lord, is it true that the Holy One was taken away?" Xuan Nuo felt that his guess must be correct.

Mei Ruotian and Zheng Shisan also looked at Long Luofeng at the same time.

"Yes, the people who were imprisoned." Long Luofeng nodded.

"Why? Although Fanbang has been eyeing us for so many years, they have never acted deviantly. Why are they so bold this time?" Mei Ruotian expressed her doubts.

"They said in their letter that they want us to cede fifteen cities and marry a princess, otherwise we will kill Luochen." Thinking of what the letter said, Prince Xiaoyao was also a little annoyed, "These people are simply crazy ?!"

"How unreasonable! We are a big country, how can we agree to such unreasonable demands of a small foreign country!" Mei Ruotian is still a big man in his bones.

"That's right, it's impossible! They are mad dogs biting people in a hurry! They are the only reason why we pay tribute every year, and now they want fifteen cities?" Xuan Nuo was also very angry.

"Damn it, you actually used such a despicable method to confront each other head-on, and fight it upright! I led an army and wiped out their little country!" Zheng Shisan was even more furious. The urge to draw a knife!
"Oh, but the two countries are at war, and the people suffer!" Mei Ruotian calmed down and sighed.

"Then what should we do now?" Zheng Shisan had nothing to say and could only change the subject angrily.

As soon as the question came out, several people were silent at the same time.

Isn't this question the key?

Now how to do?
"Anyway, it is absolutely impossible to agree to the conditions they set!" Xiaoyao Wang said.

Although he doesn't care about government affairs, this is still his Long family's country, and he can't let it go, let alone agree to such a condition of losing power and humiliating the country!

"It must be impossible to agree, but you can't leave Xiaochenzi's life alone, right? Or, if you want to just make a mistake and let Xiaochenzi fend for itself, you can just be a saint? This is also a good idea, um, it's doable! "

"Mei Ruotian!!!" Long Luofeng roared angrily!
This kid is really hurt, he can still say such sarcastic remarks at this time!
"Okay, I was wrong!"

Mei Yingchen apologized with a playful smile, as if they were not talking about a very serious, important, and life-threatening matter. In fact, he did this to ease everyone's tense and depressed mood. Even better than Long Luofeng, how could he not worry about his life?

However, if Long Luochen, the emperor of the Jinlong Kingdom who was imprisoned in the woodshed by the Fanbang thousands of miles away, heard their conversation at this moment, he would definitely be so angry that his seven orifices would smoke and bleed to death...

"If you want me to say, let me lead a team of Jinlin Guards to rescue the Holy Majesty!" Xuan Nuo clenched the sword in his hand, ready to move.

"Nonsense, if you know where they are, why worry about it?" Zheng Shisan gave him a blank look.

"Well, I think they will definitely send someone to deliver a message again. On the one hand, let Xuan Nuo secretly monitor every move of everyone at the gate of the palace. On the other hand, Ruotian and Thirteen, you two should pay more attention to dressing strangely outside the palace. Strange person. We will decide what to do next according to the situation!" Long Luofeng calmed down and began to think of countermeasures.

"Well, I am a dignified jade doctor. I was originally used to hang a pot to help the world, but now I am going to become an imperial guard. My life is hard."

"You don't have to do it, the big deal is to let Xiaoxizi live and die on its own! He was not close to women in his life, and he might find you to be his ghost bride after death. Anyway, once you become a ghost, it is estimated that there will be no distinction. What a man and woman!"

"You... count yourself as ruthless!" Mei Ruotian choked.

Joking aside, the next few of them got serious and began to discuss various possible situations, how to deal with them, and how to deploy them. They talked for two hours before ending.

When he was about to leave the palace, Mei Ruotian suddenly remembered that he was going to enter the palace today to ask for the imperial decree, but after thinking about it, forget it, the sage is gone, and he gave him a fart marriage!
However, he didn't have the time to go home after leaving the palace. Together with Zheng Shisan and some Jinlin Guards, he began to set up defenses in the royal city.

The news of Dangchao's disappearance was quickly blocked, and it was forbidden to flow to the people.

So Sima Qing in Mei's mansion didn't know about this matter, and because she felt that she was too busy during this time, she ignored Mei Ruotian, so she chose to put down everything today, and planned to spend time with him. And he got up early and made him a delicious breakfast.

Unexpectedly, Mei Ruotian woke up earlier than her, and when she went to his room with breakfast, he was already gone.When I asked the old housekeeper, I found out that he hurried into the palace early in the morning, but the old housekeeper didn't know what was the reason.

Sima Qing had no choice but to solve the breakfast by herself. Originally thinking that he would not go for a long time, she waited in the room, but no one came back until noon, so she had to give up. At this time, Chun Xi and Hua Chen Come to her and say that there will be a lantern show and fireworks show tonight, and ask her to take them to play together.

Seeing how excited they were, and thinking that it had been a long time since they had a good time, Sima Qing agreed.

After lunch, I took Chunxi, Huachen, Xi'er and a few maids from the mansion to go shopping together. The Mid-Autumn Festival was coming, and there were many things to buy.

In fact, since she came to this world, the number of times she went to the market to go shopping in the market can be counted on the fingers, and those few times were all forced by Nan Rumeng.But today, she was in a good mood for no reason, so she thought it was very interesting to go shopping. She chatted and laughed with them, and went to two streets and two markets in a row. It's already twilight.

The night market in Wangcheng is also a great sight.

The night market is actually a place that sells food and supper. Usually, it will be lively until the middle of the night. Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, more people come out to play, making it even more lively. There are all kinds of snacks, many of which are set up in small stalls and made on site, so there is a hot aroma everywhere.

This is foodie heaven.

The group of foodies went to and from various small stalls and restaurants. After shopping all afternoon, they were already hungry, so they turned on their horsepower and swept the night market!
Sima Qing was recognized several times in the middle, there is no way, Dr. Ah Qing is now a well-known celebrity in Wangcheng.

With a full stomach, they moved to the temple fair again.

Due to the relationship between the lantern show and the fireworks show, the temple fair tonight is also very lively.

There are sheds made of colored silk on both sides of the road. Many colorful ribbons are painted with various fairy stories. It really looks a bit fairy-like against the lights of each house. There are all kinds of businesses in the sheds, but most of them sell lanterns. , all kinds of delicate or rough lanterns.There are also those who don't do business in the shed, such as divination, selling medicine, selling old clothes, paper-cut flowers and so on.

There were a lot of people. The seven of them were originally together, but they were crowded and separated before they knew it.

When Sima Qing found out, she was alone, and tried to call Chunxi and Huachen's names, but they were all drowned in the noise.Helpless, she had to walk around alone.

Walking around, I saw a large open field, which was divided into small circles by the crowded crowd, and bursts of cheers came out.She squeezed in curiously. It turned out that he was a charlatan, swallowing iron swords, crushing boulders in his chest, medicine puppets, and topping vats and bowls. , took out the broken silver to give people a compliment.

From the bustle of the temple fair and night market, we can see the prosperity of this country.

Don't look at Long Luofeng who usually looks like a fool, but he is really a wise emperor, and he is dedicated to the country and the people.

Although his people are still singing and dancing at the moment, they don't know at all that their lovely and great sage is being imprisoned in a firewood room, and the food they eat is rotten...

"Oh, it's so lively!" Sima Qing shouted in the crowd. She felt it was strange that she didn't feel much tired after playing for so long today, but she still found a quiet place to sit down and prepare Waiting for the next fireworks.

Little did she realize that danger was approaching her.

"Little girl!"

Suddenly a pair of hands put on Sima Qing's shoulder.

She was not prepared to turn her head at all, and then she was stunned all of a sudden.

……

It was already midnight when Mei Ruotian returned to Mei Mansion from the palace.

The old housekeeper reported to him that Sima Qing came to him with breakfast this morning, saying that she had been waiting for him until noon.

Mei Ruotian had no choice but to be helpless, the girl was not free for so many days, it was a coincidence that she thought of herself today.But today happened to encounter such a thing, thinking of searching for Long Luochen's whereabouts outside today, his brows were filled with sadness.

Hearing that Sima Qing went out to play with Chunxi and the others after lunch, Mei Ruotian didn't care, just ate some food and lay down to rest.

Not long after lying down, he heard a noise outside. He listened with his ears, and it seemed to be the girl Chunxi's voice.

Thinking of Chunxi's return, Sima Qing should also be back, so he got up, opened the door and walked out.

In the end, I saw Chunxi and Xi'er were about to cry.

Mei Ruotian's eyebrows twitched, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.

"What happen to you guys?"

"Master, it's not good, something happened! Miss, she's gone!"

"What do you mean missing?"

"It's gone...it's gone!" Chunxi was so anxious that she couldn't speak coherently. After a period of study and precipitation, she was much more stable than before, but when she encountered Sima Qing's matter, she would get confused.

"Don't worry, talk slowly." Although Mei Ruotian was also anxious, she knew that it was useless for him to be anxious at this time, so she could only gently enlighten them, "Didn't you go out to play together? What happened?"

Xi'er was calmer than her, so she spoke for her and said, "It's like this, we..."

She briefly talked about how they went shopping today. She said that at the temple fair not long ago, they all got separated because there were too many people. I heard, I heard that someone saw several people and took her away..."

"What?!" Mei Ruotian was startled, and couldn't hold back her face, and asked eagerly, "How many people took her away? Who saw it? Did they see it clearly?"

Xi'er frowned, and said timidly with some hesitation: "I heard it...but, but that person didn't seem to be so sure, there are too many people."

Mei Ruotian's tension calmed down a little, and she showed a faint smile, in order to comfort the two little girls: "Don't be nervous, the matter is not that bad, maybe she just got lost. Well, let's go find her together now. Find it."

He was originally handsome and unparalleled, even in the night, this gentle smile was as dazzling as a shining jade, and it also warmed the hearts of the two little maids.

Their flustered and fearful moods soon calmed down miraculously.

Aww, what a big warm guy~~!

 Happy Mooncake Festival everyone~~~! (*^__^*)
