Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 254
Having said that, Gu Qi tried his best to escape to a ruined temple outside the city.

Feeling that his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred, Gu Qi shook his head vigorously, took out a cylinder from his arms, and fired a signal.

Then, with the last ounce of strength, he walked to the corner, picked up the hay next to him and covered himself, tilted his head, and completely lost consciousness.

Cunran has been waiting outside Gu Qi's study, so as to block when someone comes.

When he saw the signal that only he knew, Cun Ran frowned tightly, not daring to delay for a moment, came out from the backyard, and drove a carriage straight to the place where the signal was raised.

When Cunran rushed to this ruined temple, he looked around for a week, but found no trace of anyone.

After opening the Huozhe, Cunran inspected the temple carefully again, but still did not find any trace of Gu Qi, and cried out in his heart: Someone should take the prince away first, right?

Just when Cunran was about to leave the temple and wanted to look around to see if there were any traces, he heard a groan from the corner. Cunran stopped quickly, looked suspiciously at the haystack in the corner, and walked quickly. go forward.

Pulling the haystack away, Cunran saw Gu Qi lying unconscious on the bottom, immediately blew out the fire note, threw it aside, and lifted Gu Qi from the ground.

Cunran didn't know what happened tonight, so he didn't dare to send Gu Qi back to the mansion easily, so he drove the carriage to a mountain not far from here.

This mountain forest is the place where Gu Qitu came to practice kung fu when he was quiet, and there was a bamboo house.

After placing Gu Qi on the bed, Cunran took out the small porcelain bottle from a shelf next to it, poured out a pill, fed it to him, then covered him with the quilt, and sat by the bed to watch. with him.

"Breeze."

Gu Lingqing came to the study, saw that the sky had turned pale, and his face was very ugly, "Order people to search for traces of Gu Qi."

After Qingfeng left, Gu Lingqing saw that it was getting late, so she went to the inner room and changed her clothes. There was always hot water in the wooden bucket. After taking a bath, Gu Lingqing felt that the exhaustion and dirt of this life had been washed away. .

While putting on his coat, he heard the housekeeper say outside the door: "My lord, Mr. Xiao is here to visit."

Gu Lingqing tidied up her clothes quickly: "Please come in."

"I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to come so early, I'm afraid he didn't sleep."

Xiao Yichen also just went back to the mansion to change his clothes, tidied his hair, watched the sky getting brighter, and didn't care about going to sleep, so he hurried to Prince Ling's mansion. After all, he had to sort out the events of last night before entering the palace. .

"Isn't King Ling still up?" Xiao Yichen smiled faintly, walked directly to him and sat down.

At this moment, the two were sitting in the same room calmly, as if there was no fight last night.

Looking at the tea that the servant just brought, Xiao Yichen picked up a cup, took a sip, and then slowly said: "Last night... was escaped by him... the scene in the carriage..."

Gu Lingqing listened well at first, but when he heard the scene in the carriage, he raised his right hand to signal him not to say any more: "I trust my princess, Mr. Xiao doesn't need to explain."

Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows, didn't talk about it again, but changed the subject instead.

"On weekdays, His Royal Highness King Qi has been favored by His Majesty. Although this matter involves the face of the royal family and the world is in an uproar, I don't know how he will deal with it?"

Gu Lingqing squinted her eyes, with murderous intent in her eyes: "So many eyes staring at the emperor, this is not a small crime, and he cannot be partial!"

Xiao Yichen looked at Gu Lingqing, thoughtful in his heart, he had long heard that this silly prince was no different from ordinary people after being treated by the imperial physician Shang, but seeing the ruthless expression on his face at this moment, Xiao Yichen was very surprised. There are many unknown inside stories in this.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat."

Following Eunuch Li's sharp voice, Xiao Yanfeng walked into the hall, bent slightly, and bowed his hands: "Report to the emperor, I have something to say."

"Oh?" The emperor was expressionless, making it hard to see what was going on in his heart, "But what happened to what I told you?"

"Reporting to the emperor, it is precisely this matter." Xiao Yanfeng straightened his body, "This matter has been investigated by Xiao Yichen on his behalf, and a breakthrough was made yesterday. Please allow him to explain the case carefully."

"Sure." The emperor waved his hand, and looked at Xiao Yichen who was standing behind.

After Xiao Yichen heard the emperor's approved order, he walked into the hall and slowly told him what he knew.

"Reporting to the emperor, I took over this matter from my father, and I refused to slack off for a moment. I searched day and night, and finally found Princess Ling last night, and she has been properly placed in Ling Palace."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the individuals in the hall were different. Gu Zixing held his left hand behind his back, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't show much difference about this matter.

Before going to court today, although Qing Si and Bai Si dragged their injured bodies, they didn't dare to delay for a moment. They went directly to the Prince's Mansion and reported to the Prince what happened last night.

Gu Zixing didn't expect that Gu Qi would be so disregarding the overall situation and do such a stupid thing for a woman. He would like to see how his father, who usually loves him the most, will deal with it after hearing the news in the court today.

"Concubine Ling has been found?" The emperor looked at Gu Lingqing who had been standing there to ask for confirmation, he was a little surprised in his words, after all, only half of the ten days had passed.

Gu Lingqing walked to Xiao Yichen's side: "Report to the emperor, this is indeed the case, the princess has been placed in the Ling Palace."

"Is Princess Ling injured?" The emperor showed a very concerned look.

"Although there are minor injuries, there is no danger of life." Gu Lingqing answered every question.

The emperor nodded lightly: "It's good if you find it." Then his expression turned pale, and he stared straight at Xiao Yichen, "I don't know who is so daring to do such a rebellious thing under my nose! "

Xiao Yichen and Gu Lingqing glanced at each other, Xiao Yichen took a step forward: "I hope Your Majesty will not be too surprised, and pay attention to your body."

The emperor frowned, and was very puzzled by Xiao Yichen's words: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"It's King Qi." Xiao Yichen didn't beat around the bush, but went straight to the point, raised his head and looked at the emperor with fixed eyes, and said who kidnapped Zhao Min.

As soon as this remark came out, the whole court was in an uproar, and the ministers of the court and China standing on both sides talked a lot.

The emperor's face was very ugly, especially when he searched around and found that Gu Qi was not going to court today.
