Empress Dowager: Husband, please lie down

Chapter 360 Angry!bloodbath the capital

Although the queen mother felt cold for a while, she was worried that something would happen to Xiahouqing, so she ordered Xiahouzhu to order the entire capital to be sealed off, and the Imperial Forest Army searched Xiahouqing's whereabouts from house to house.

However, just after Xiahou Zhu gave the order, and the Imperial Forest Army just started to search, rumors started to spread in the capital for some reason.

It is said that Ruan Eryue and Xia Houqing killed Xia Houxin with their joint efforts. Now that the matter has been revealed, the two escaped in panic.At this moment, the emperor ordered to search the whereabouts of these two people, and they are going to be arrested and executed on the spot!
I don't know where this rumor came from, before it reached the palace, it has already been heard of Prince Jing's Mansion, Marquis Ding'an Mansion, General Mansion, etc., almost the entire capital city.

Mrs. Ruan sat on the bed clutching her tightly wrapped scarf, looked at Aunt Liu and sighed, "Hey, tell me, why have accidents happened one after another during this time?"

"Originally, I hoped that Si Yatou would make a better future, so we followed suit. It has only been a few days since I became king, and Si Yatou has not been a princess for a few days, and she hasn't done anything for us. How did she become the one who killed the seventh princess? The murderer?!"

"Although the status of the seventh princess is not as noble as that of the eleventh princess, it would not be a big deal if the fourth girl and the eleventh princess killed the seventh princess in the past. But what is the status of the seventh princess now? She is about to become Mengnan. Queen! Just like that, she was killed by the fourth girl and the eleventh princess... I don't know what kind of grievances there are between them, but they did this murderously."

After saying that, Mrs. Ruan shook her head again, and sighed, "I hope our general's mansion will not be involved in this matter! Now that Hongwei is not in the capital, what happened, I don't know what to do Well, after all, people are getting old..."

"Aunt Liu, tell me, do you want to send someone to tell Hongwei about this?"

Seeing that Aunt Liu kept her head down and didn't make a sound or answer, Mrs. Ruan was displeased. She felt that she had been playing the piano to the cow for a long time, so she asked in a deep voice.

If it weren't for the fact that there was really no one in the manor who could discuss with her and make up her mind, why would she suddenly call Aunt Liu over to talk with her?
Only then did Aunt Liu raise her head, frowned, and replied softly, "Princess Jing is now a member of Prince Jing's residence. Even if she committed a crime, the emperor should not be implicated in our residence. So, I think, It's better not to tell the master about this matter, so as not to worry the master."

Only then did Mrs. Ruan nod her head, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, I hope things really develop as you said."

Then, as if thinking of something, he hurriedly ordered, "Hurry up and order, the servants in our mansion should not go out of the mansion at will during this period, so as not to attract people's comments. In addition, if Si Yatou is found to come back, we will She is pushed far away, don't harm our Ruan Mansion!"

Mrs. Ruan gave the order with a sullen face, without any politeness.

Aunt Liu lowered her head slightly, disapproving of Mrs. Ruan's cold-bloodedness, but she still bowed her head and went out.

First, she didn't believe that Ruan Eryue and Xia Houqing did this. They had no reason to kill Xia Houxin.Even if he had a reason, he wouldn't do it so blatantly and run away afterwards;

Second, according to Xia Houyin's connivance and deep love for Ruan Eryue, no matter who Ruan Eryue wants to kill, I am afraid Xia Houyin will help her solve it without blinking his eyes;

Thirdly, she had also heard just now that Prince Jing's Mansion and Marquis of Ding'an's Mansion were secretly looking for Ruan Eryue. If Ruan Eryue really escaped, how could Yin, Shun and Madam Xiahou not know her whereabouts?

Taking a step back, Aunt Liu intuitively believed that Xia Houxin was not killed by Ruan Eryue and Xia Houqing.

Mrs. Ruan is a person who always only cares about her own interests. I don't blame her for protecting herself right now, but I'm afraid that even if she knows Ruan Eryue's whereabouts, she will betray Ruan because she wants more glory and wealth. February!
Now I don't know exactly what's going on, it's useless for Aunt Liu to guess, so she hastened to gather the servants of the mansion, and asked them to wear them in the mansion during this period of time, and don't go out to cause trouble, so as not to harm the Ruan mansion.

I still have to show it to Mrs. Ruan, otherwise I will trouble her with another matter.

Besides, Mrs. Shunhe Tai, when Xia Houyin immediately sent someone to inform her that Ruan Eryue was missing, instead of killing Xia Houxin and fleeing, Mrs. Shunhe Tai almost fainted.

Ruan Eryue is now six months pregnant, no matter how strong she is, it is inconvenient to do anything with a big belly.

If the person who held her hostage hated her to the bone, not to mention that the fetus in the womb was in danger, even Ruan Eryue's life might be in jeopardy...

So, Shun and Mrs. Tai, who had almost never been really angry for so many years, were really angry this time.

All the guards who had been disbanded many years ago to secretly protect her were gathered together, and they searched for Ruan Eryue's whereabouts in the entire capital, as well as within a hundred miles of the capital.

Anyone with a slight relationship with Ruan Eryue's disappearance was imprisoned by Mrs. Shun and Mrs. Tai with their hands chopped off. In less than an hour, dozens of people had their hands chopped off and imprisoned. The capital has been bloodbathed.

In addition, Mrs. Shun and the Empress Dowager had a noble status, even if someone felt dissatisfied with her for turning the whole capital upside down, since the Empress Dowager and Xiahou Zhu would not intervene to stop them, they could only suppress their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

There was already a pile of memorials on Xiahou Zhu's table impeaching Shun and Mrs. Tai for disturbing the public order in the capital, but he had no time to deal with them.

The reason why he sent people to search the capital was just to show off in front of the queen mother, he was reluctant to let the lives of his imperial guards be wasted on searching for the whereabouts of Ruan Eryue and Xia Houqing.

Therefore, Shun and Mrs. Tai's move really turned the capital upside down.

As for Xiahou Yin, he mobilized all the secret guards in Prince Jing's mansion to search for Ruan Eryue's whereabouts with all his strength.Even Ruan Ke, who had been in the misty forest for more than half a year, knew about this, and left the misty forest regardless of the danger of exposing himself, leading people to search for Ruan Eryue's whereabouts.

Not to mention, Su Yu threw Tuobajiao to the back of his mind and joined the team looking for Ruan Eryue himself, worried.

On the other hand, among the people in the palace, Xia Houqing's disappearance, except for the palace people in Weiyang Palace who were crying heartbroken, only the Queen Mother wiped her tears but couldn't do anything, and almost everyone else didn't care about it.

Even Xiahou Zhu focused his energy on more important matters.

That is, how to get rid of Xiahou Yin, a hidden danger that could threaten his life and the throne anytime and anywhere.
