Chapter 369 Twenty Imperial Concubines

Princess Jianning was dizzy all the way in the sedan chair, so she didn't know that she had arrived at the imperial palace. When the sedan chair stopped, Hong Tianxiao opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and casually unlocked Princess Jianning's acupoints, and said, "Princess, please get off the sedan chair."

As soon as Princess Jianning was able to move her body, anger welled up in her heart. As soon as she lifted her foot, she stepped out of the sedan door, and was about to get angry at Hong Tianxiao when she heard a familiar voice from her side: "Huanggu, you are back. I've been worrying so much these days, it's good to be back, it's good to be back."

During the more than a month of Princess Jianning's disappearance, Kangxi also sent a large number of people to conduct a rigorous search in the entire Shanxi Province and several surrounding provinces, but they did not find the whereabouts of Feng Xifan and Princess Jianning at all.Ten days ago, someone finally found Feng Xifan in Hebei Province, but Princess Jianning did not follow him again. After encircling and suppressing him many times and losing a lot of manpower, Feng Xifan was still not captured.After learning the news, Kangxi was furious, but he was helpless. After all, he also knew that relying on those officers and soldiers to catch Feng Xifan was nothing. Fortunately, Princess Jianning was not in Feng Xifan's hands, so Kangxi pinned all his hopes on it. On Hong Tianxiao's body, I hope that Princess Jianning has been rescued by him, and she is on the way to the capital at the moment, but he guesses that she is about the same if she doesn't want to.

It is not false that Kangxi was worried about Princess Jianning. After all, they are aunts and nephews. When Kangxi was young, Princess Jianning still loved him very much.However, what Kangxi was most concerned about was how to explain to Wu Sangui and his son if Princess Jianning really couldn't come back. That's why he said "just come back".

When Princess Jianning heard Kangxi's voice, she thought that she had no hope of going out after returning to the palace. She could only wait a month before being sent to Yunnan to marry Wu Yingxiong.Before leaving Beijing last time, "Liu Feiying" taught him how to deal with Wu Yingxiong, but he didn't think of it at all, but he thought that he and Hong Tianxiao could only be destined for each other in this life, and he was afraid that they would never see each other again. Shen, suddenly passed out.

Hong Tianxiao was also taken aback. Seeing Kangxi's suspicious eyes towards him, he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the princess has suffered a lot outside for more than a month, and her body is extremely weak. When she came back, she saw her for the first time. Your majesty, you fainted because you were excited, it is not a serious problem. After the princess wakes up, the emperor can order the imperial dining room to stew some tonic for the princess, and the dose should not be too heavy."

Kangxi knew that Hong Tianxiao was proficient in medical skills, and what he said was very reasonable, so his suspicions disappeared immediately, he nodded and said: "General Manager Liu will write a prescription later, and I will order the imperial dining room to give the princess tonic according to the prescription written by General Manager Liu. You guys help the princess back." The latter sentence was addressed to the court ladies serving Kangxi.

After everyone left, Kangxi whispered to Hong Tianxiao: "Director Liu, Princess Jianning's body hasn't changed much in the past month, right?"

"Change?" Hong Tianxiao was taken aback when he heard the words. Didn't he just explain that Princess Jianning's body was too weak? Suddenly seeing the erratic look in Kangxi's eyes, he suddenly understood, and hurriedly replied: "Report to the emperor, then After Feng Xifan hijacked the princess, seeing her beauty, he really wanted to offend her, but fortunately his subordinates arrived in time, so Feng Xifan did not succeed, please rest assured, the princess is still a virgin."

When Kangxi heard the words, he was really relieved. If it was just someone who was rescued and his virginity was gone, Kangxi still couldn't explain to Wu Sangui, and if it was spread, it would greatly embarrass the royal family. It would be better not to be rescued , Let him die outside, this is the ancient royal family, face is more important than everything else.

Kangxi, who was in a good mood, suddenly realized that Hong Tianxiao was also tired all the way, so he said: "Director Liu first made great contributions to rescuing him from Qingliang Temple, and then rescued Princess Jianning from the hands of the traitor Feng Xifan. How can I reward you."

Hong Tianxiao hurriedly said: "Sharing the emperor's worries is naturally the duty of a slave, how can I ask for any reward."

Kangxi nodded, with a look of admiration on his face, sighed and said: "I am very happy that you have such a heart, but my policy of employing people is to reward those who have meritorious deeds and punish those who have done wrong. Although I know your Loyalty, but you have to be rewarded, otherwise, you will be put down by the officials in the future."

Hong Tianxiao thought for a while and said: "Since this is the case, the servant will not make things difficult for the emperor. I beg the emperor to let the servant go to Aobai's mansion to ransack the house after he begged the emperor."

Last time, Hong Tianxiao and Suo'etu raided the Sukesaha Mansion and embezzled 150 million taels of silver and some jewelry and antiques. Naturally, Kangxi didn't know, because Suo'etu sealed everyone's mouths with money.However, Kangxi knew about the fact that Hong Tianxiao got a dagger cut like clay, a precious garment, Su Ruhong, the most beautiful woman in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and some servants from Su's mansion.Now hearing Hong Tianxiao begging for this job, he thought he wanted to get some more benefits from Aobai's mansion, so he smiled and said: "I promise you that, besides that, not long ago, Pingxi King Wu Sangui offered a few Persian Beauty, I will give it to Director Liu as a reward."

The reason why Hong Tianxiao asked Kangxi to let him search Oboi's mansion was naturally because he wanted to find out what the relationship between Oboi and the leader of the Demon Cult was. Those who know the Mysterious God's Palm must have a strong connection with the Devil's Cult.The incident between Su Ruhong and Luo Qihong last time gave Liu Feiying a lustful reputation. Even Princess Jianning heard about it. How could Kangxi not know about it, so he misunderstood Hong Tianxiao's meaning, and not only agreed to the matter, Also rewarded a few Persian beauties.

Whenever the emperor discovers the shortcomings of a minister, he will be considered easy to control by the emperor, so Hong Tianxiao didn't bother to explain this reputation.What's more, in this way, not only can Kangxi lower his guard against him, but he can also get a few Persian beauties, which kills two birds with one stone, so why not do it.

It was almost noon when he came out of the palace, Hong Tianxiao didn't dare to go back to the Hong Mansion, so he had to go back to the Liu Mansion (in order to distinguish the two mansions, the later one was called the Hong Mansion).

In comparison, although Liu's Mansion is bigger, it does not have as many people as Hong's Mansion. Only Li Jiaoniang, Luo Qihong, Dumb Lion, Lu Gaoxuan, Fat and Thin Toutuo and others live in Liu's Mansion. There are more people, but it doesn't seem deserted in the mansion. Since there are fewer people to serve, the people below have fewer things to do.

After Mao Dongzhu's reminder, and the last time Princess Jianning came to look for it, it was inconvenient to pass messages between the two houses. Since the apostasy of Wulongmen on Shenlong Island was over, Hong Tianxiao ordered Lu Gaoxuan and Fat and Thin Toutuo to bring fifty The well-known and strong disciples of Shenlong Island let them dig a secret passage from the Hong Mansion directly to the Liu Mansion, connecting the two mansions. Once Liu Feiying's whereabouts are revealed in the future, the people in the Liu Mansion can retreat calmly.Fortunately, the two mansions were not far from each other. Ten days before Hong Tianxiao returned to the capital, this secret passage had already been dug and repaired, and the fifty Shenlong Island disciples also secretly withdrew from the Hong Mansion.

After returning to Liu's Mansion, Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Shou Toutuo greeted him naturally, but Li Jiaoniang and Luo Qihong disappeared. Hong Tianxiao couldn't help but wondered, secretly thought, if the news of his return spread to the mansion Afterwards, it was reasonable for Luo Qihong not to come out to greet him, but it was impossible for Jiao Niang not to come out to greet him happily. Could it be that Jiao Niang already had a sweetheart during the time he was not in the capital?

Came to the inner mansion with wild thoughts, the dumb lion was sleeping in the monitoring room of the inner mansion (two huts were built at the gate of the inner mansion, similar to the security room in modern society), when he heard Hong Tianxiao's footsteps, the dumb lion He was awakened immediately, and when he opened the door, he saw Hong Tianxiao, and immediately greeted him happily.

However, the mute lion soon noticed that Hong Tianxiao's face was a little unhappy, and even understood the reason for Hong Tianxiao's displeasure.After gesturing for a while, Hong Tianxiao, who was full of doubts, followed the mute lion to the inner mansion. As explained earlier, in the inner mansion of the Liu Mansion, apart from Hong Tianxiao, only the dumb lion could enter.

The dumb lion led Hong Tianxiao to a side room, closed the door mysteriously, and then turned a handle on the wall three times to the left and three times to the right, a crack was suddenly opened on the floor, and more and more Big, when it is fully opened, it is a secret door. On the south side of the secret door is a step, leading directly to the ground.

It was only then that Hong Tianxiao remembered that he had asked Lu Gaoxuan to dig a tunnel connecting the Liu Mansion and the Hong Mansion, but he did not expect that it would be completed so soon.Hong Tianxiao remembered that when Lu Gaoxuan greeted him just now, he didn't mention this matter. It seems that someone must have arranged it in advance. There are not many people with such courage. Except for the nine princesses, there is only that big goblin Mao Dongzhu. What's more, Princess Nine would not do such a thing.

The mute lion also lit a torch and handed it to Hong Tianxiao, looking at him with a smile on his face.Hong Tianxiao understood what the mute lion meant, and also knew that Mao Dongzhu had arranged for him to do so, so he didn't speak, took the torch from him, turned around and walked along the steps to the secret path.

After going down the steps, Hong Tianxiao heard a loud noise from above, presumably it was the mute lion that closed the hidden door of the secret passage.The height and width of the secret passage were both one zhang, and the lights on both sides were actually on, so the torch in Hong Tianxiao's hand was useless, so he immediately extinguished it and put it aside, and walked forward along the secret passage.

When walking to the center of the secret passage, a row of rooms suddenly appeared on the left, and the door of the first room was ajar, and a woman's voice could be heard faintly from inside.Could it be that his own women were waiting here, Hong Tianxiao was curious, so he went over to take a look, there were indeed many women inside, and there were as many as 20 of them.

It's just that, although these women are beautiful, they all have faces. What attracts Hong Tianxiao's attention is that these twenty or so women are all wearing palace attire. Empress came out.

Hong Tianxiao pushed the door lightly and went in, the voice inside suddenly disappeared without a trace, these beauties in palace costumes all stood up, almost all of them had terrified expressions on their faces.
