Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 256 Banning King Qi's Mansion

Speaking of which, when Gu Lingqing and Xiao Yichen came out of the palace, they happened to meet Gu Zixing's carriage.

Because Gu Zixing is the crown prince, he has the privilege to ride a carriage in the palace. Others can only take a carriage after walking to the gate of the palace.

From a distance, Gu Zixing's carriage was parked at the gate of the palace, and he was standing in front of the carriage looking at the two, obviously waiting for them.

The three of them walked together, Xiao Yichen stopped in his tracks: "Father, you go back home first, I still have some things to discuss with His Highness King Ling."

After Xiao Yanfeng heard this, he just nodded his head and didn't say much, he went forward and got on the carriage and left the gate of the palace.

Gu Lingqing and Xiao Yichen walked up to Gu Zixing and bowed to him.

"His Royal Highness, you are waiting here on purpose, but do you have something to say?" Gu Lingqing stared at him, unable to see the emotion in his heart.

There was a faint smile on the corner of Gu Zixing's mouth, but she looked at Xiao Yichen: "I don't know how Young Master Xiao plans to deal with this matter?"

Xiao Yichen frowned slightly: "I don't know what His Highness the Crown Prince's intention is? Your Majesty has already given his orders, so we will act according to His Majesty's will."

Gu Zixing laughed loudly: "Young Master Xiao is a smart person, it's not that he can't understand the meaning of the father's words, what should we do about this matter? I'm afraid it will not be a simple matter to what extent. "

Xiao Yichen stared at Gu Zixing's face, and just said lightly: "Don't bother Your Highness the Crown Prince to worry about me, I have my own plan in mind."

Gu Zixing smiled indifferently: "That's because I'm being sentimental. If Mr. Xiao needs any help from my palace, just ask."

"Thank you for your kindness, His Royal Highness, no need." Xiao Yichen didn't give Gu Zixing any face at all, he didn't even want to say anything about the situation, and directly rejected him.

Gu Zixing's smile froze on her face, she snorted coldly, turned to look at Gu Lingqing who was at the side, and said sarcastically, "I don't know if Princess Ling has disappeared for so many days, has she returned to Zhao?"

Gu Lingqing's face was very ugly, and she stepped forward and grabbed Gu Zixing's collar: "Please keep your mouth shut, Your Highness the Crown Prince, don't talk nonsense."

Gu Zixing pulled Gu Lingqing's hand away, flicked his collar lightly, snorted coldly, then turned and got into the carriage.

Xiao Yichen followed Gu Lingqing to Prince Ling's Mansion.

"Is the concubine awake?" As soon as she entered the palace, Gu Lingqing asked about Zhao Min's movements, and when she learned that she was still asleep, she nodded reassuringly, and led Xiao Yichen to her study.

The two came to the study and discussed what to do about it.

"The emperor's intention today is very obvious. He didn't drive Gu Qi to death, and now his whereabouts are unknown. This job is really not a good one." Gu Lingqing analyzed the current situation with concern.

Xiao Yichen nodded in agreement: "The most important thing right now is to find King Qi's whereabouts before we can proceed to the next step."

"It's better to send more people and let the criminal department assist to find Gu Qi's whereabouts." Gu Lingqing advised Xiao Yichen, but he didn't reveal his background to him. He had already ordered people to find Gu Qi's whereabouts this morning.

Xiao Yichen nodded, and suppressed the surprise in his heart, Gu Lingqing's control of the situation in court was much clearer than himself.

"That's right, this matter is the most important thing, and I will pay special attention to it." Thinking of Gu Qi, Xiao Yichen's heart was also extremely heavy.

In the study, the two discussed how to find Gu Qi's whereabouts, and the discussion was in full swing.

Since his downfall, Zheng Lixin has rushed to Prince Qi's mansion non-stop. Unexpectedly, he was a step too late. When he arrived, Prince Qi's mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers. He couldn't get in at all, and he didn't know that his daughter Zheng Yihui What's the situation inside?

Zheng Lixin returned without success, thinking that finding a good husband for his daughter would also strengthen his career in the court, but he didn't expect Gu Qi to be so unstable.

Now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid the prince's faction will be proud for a long time.

"Princess, you can eat a little."

Listening to the servant girl's advice, Zheng Yihui looked at the table full of snacks and meals, without the slightest appetite: "Take them all away."

When the servant girl was about to persuade Zheng Yihui again, she heard a loud noise coming from outside the door.

Zheng Yihui frowned: "Go and see what happened?"

Before the servant could go out, the door was pushed open by the officers and soldiers from the outside.

"According to the emperor's order, Prince Qi's mansion is confined, and no one is allowed to go out."

After the officer and soldier came in and said these words, he turned and left without dragging his feet.

Zheng Yihui looked at the clothes worn by the officers and soldiers, and recognized the clothes worn by the Imperial City Guards. She was shocked, and immediately got up, and when she went out the door, she saw many people wearing such clothes, shuttling back and forth. Standing guard at the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Yihui turned around and returned to the room, took out a bag of money, went to an officer and soldier standing at the gate of her courtyard, and handed the money to him: "My lord, please let me know what happened. What's the matter, things like the claustrophobic Prince Qi's mansion are not easy to joke about."

The officer and soldier took the money bag, weighed it, and put it in his arms with satisfaction. Seeing that Zheng Yihui in front of him was well dressed, he spoke a little more politely.

"Prince Qi kidnapped Princess Ling, Mr. Xiao has found out the truth, the emperor Longyan is furious, and he is looking for King Qi all over the city!"

Zheng Yihui was taken aback by what the officer and soldier said.

She also heard about Zhao Min's disappearance on her wedding night, but she didn't expect that it was Gu Qi who did it.

"My lord, can you..."

When Zheng Yihui wanted to ask more questions, the officer waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, I've told you enough, go away quickly, don't delay my official duties. "

The slaves behind Zheng Yihui couldn't stand it anymore, and reprimanded: "How dare you treat the princess with such an attitude, how bold!"

After the officer and soldier heard that the person in front of him was Princess Qi, instead of showing any fear, he sneered, with disdain in his eyes: "Prince Qi has fallen, who cares about Princess Qi!"

Zheng Yihui was knocked down by the disdainful smile on the officer's face, she swayed a little, and took two steps back. Fortunately, the servant supported her and prevented her from falling to the ground.

But after Zheng Yihui stood firm, she also felt a little dizzy with the support of the servant girl, and immediately passed out.

"Princess! Princess!"

What Zheng Yihui saw before she closed her eyes was the anxious face of the servant girl. She was very bitter in her heart. She obeyed her father's order to marry into Prince Qi's mansion, but she didn't expect to chase and chase, but ended up like this in the end.
