Empress please be more ruthless

Chapter 46 Exchange
However, when he was about to walk to the imperial study room, Shui Jing rushed over, and Song Qingtong's smile froze. Since he knew him, he had never seen him so flustered, "Tongtong, I searched the palace, but I didn't find it. Ah Guan, Prime Minister Chu has ordered Jin Yiwei to look for it."

Song Qingtong finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and ordered someone to call the eunuch who sent the message in the morning. The eunuch was only seventeen or eighteen years old, knelt on the ground, and said with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, my master went out at noon yesterday. I didn’t return. At night, my servant thought that he was resting in Yuzhang Palace again, so I didn’t take it seriously. This morning, I went to Wen Guijun’s place. The palace people said that Wenguijun was sleeping last night and didn’t sleep in Yuzhang Palace. That's urgent." Said and started to cry.

Shui Jingxiu frowned, although Cheng Guan was mischievous, he was by no means a person without measure, he took two steps forward and asked the eunuch, "What did Cheng Guan say when he went out yesterday?"

The eunuch shook his head, their master usually treats them very well, but he thinks they are submissive, so he seldom pays attention to them.

Shui Jing asked again: "Who has Cheng Guan been in contact with recently?" He was busy making alchemy during the day and wanted that at night, so he didn't pay attention to Cheng Guan for a while.

The eunuch's eyes lit up, and he said, "My master often talks to Mr. Huagui about Buddhism."

Song Qingtong's eyes moved, she could tell that day that Cheng Guan admired Yun Jin very much, maybe Cheng Guan slept in Yun Jin Palace, "Where did Mr. Hua Gui go to see?"

The eunuch shook his head blankly.

Changxin Palace is not far from here, she should go there herself, then turned to Shui Jing and said, "Shui Jing, you are waiting for me in the bedroom, I will go back as soon as I go."

He also ordered the palace servants: "Send to Changxin Palace!"

Riding on the dragon chariot, after a while, a splendid and majestic palace appeared in front of him. This was the Changxin Palace. Song Qingtong walked into the bedroom. Yun Jin was dressed in spotless white clothes and was sitting at the table reading a book.

Seeing Song Qingtong's arrival, Yun Jin was slightly taken aback, and immediately got up to salute. Song Qingtong raised her hand to support her: "Manqing, you don't need to be polite, I have something to ask here."

Yun Jin stared at Song Qingtong with long eyes, and said softly but forcefully, "I know everything."

Song Qingtong said: "I ask you, did you see Cheng Guan yesterday?"

Yun Jin respectfully replied: "Yesterday Cheng Guan came to see me. I had an appointment to discuss Buddhism together. Unexpectedly, after sitting for a while, Cheng Guan said that I would go to His Highness King Jing to drink tea. I didn't meet Prince Jing, so I didn't follow Cheng Guan. Watch and go."

Song Qingtong was quite speechless when he heard that, Cheng Guan was lively enough to get along with a quiet person like King Jing, she really underestimated him.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with Chengguan?" Yun Jin's eyes flickered, but his face was still calm.

Song Qingtong sighed softly and said, "Early this morning, the eunuch in Chengguan Palace came to report that Chengguan hadn't returned all night."

Yun Jin thought for a while and said, "Maybe the emperor can go to Liuyu Palace and ask."

Song Qingtong nodded, she had exactly this intention, Feng Lingxue only lived in the side hall for two days, because the Yuzhang Palace where Shui Jing lived was a distance from her bedroom, so she offered to move to the side of Yuzhang Palace Liuyu Palace stayed.

Liuyu Palace.

Feng Lingxue was dressed in a white brocade robe, sitting cross-legged on the Luohan couch, holding a chess piece in her right hand, staring at the chessboard with her long and narrow phoenix eyes, her expression was extremely focused, as if she didn't notice Song Qingtong's arrival.

It wasn't until Song Qingtong approached that he seemed to wake up suddenly. He was startled for a moment, and his face regained his composure. After passing the seat, he smiled like a spring breeze: "Your Majesty's presence will make Liuyu Palace flourish."

Song Qingtong looked at Feng Lingxue and smiled slightly, sitting on the other side of the chess table, "Is the injury on your highness's arm better?"

Feng Lingxue raised her right hand to support her left arm, and said with a smile: "It's much better, Mr. Wen Gui comes to change Xiao Wang's medicine every day, and in three to five days, this arm will regain consciousness."

"That's how I feel at ease."

After the politeness, Song Qingtong got to the point: "I have something to ask here, Your Highness, did Cheng Guan come to Liuyu Palace yesterday?"

Feng Lingxue raised the corners of her lips and smiled seductively: "Cheng Guan came here yesterday and drank five pots of good tea, but it's a pity that he devoured the drink. It hurts so much."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at Song Qingtong, and saw that although she was smiling, there was a look of anxiety in her expression, so she stopped her smile and asked seriously: "Why, what's the matter with Chengguan? The Taoist priest Shuijing changed it early in the morning. I also asked about it when I was taking medicine."

Song Qingtong sighed softly, told Feng Lingxue about Cheng Guan's disappearance, and asked, "When will Cheng Guan leave Liuyu Palace?"

Feng Lingxue thought for a while, and replied, "Probably at the end of Shen Shi."

Song Qingtong rolled his eyes, and finally converted it. Shen Shimo converted into Beijing time was about five o'clock in the afternoon.

After leaving Liuyu Palace, he summoned Yuchang in a secluded place, and Yuchang confirmed that Chengguan did leave yesterday at the end of Shen Shi.

Song Qingtong asked again: "Where did Cheng Guan go after leaving?"

Yu Chang shook his head, the master only ordered him to keep an eye on Feng Lingxue, he didn't pay attention to the rest.

Song Qingtong frowned, could it be that the people from the palace started to move?Simply stop sitting in the dragon chariot, and walk to the palace on foot.

Chi Xiao suddenly landed in front of his eyes, with a piece of paper sticking out of the dagger in his hand, "Your Majesty, the guards found it when they were patrolling."

Song Qingtong took the paper and looked at it, and his face changed suddenly. There were a few words written on the paper: Change in the dense forest in the east of the city at the moment of Haishi!
Look, Song Qingtong tightly held the paper in his hands!Originally wanted to lure Li Palace to the dungeon to rob people, but I didn't expect the people from Li Palace to not be fooled, but to use a more ingenious method... Substitution!
However, her goal of bringing Li Gong to appear has been achieved, the only regret is that Cheng Guan fell into their hands, but how did they bring Cheng Guan out of the palace?Could it be that Li Gong dug a secret passage under the palace?If so, it would be terrible.

As the sky gradually darkened, Song Qingtong walked back to the bedroom unknowingly, and Yu'er reported at the door: "The emperor, Mr. Wengui, Mr. Huagui, and Mr. Chu are waiting in the front hall."

Song Qingtong was not surprised. A large living person evaporated out of thin air from the palace. Such a strange thing would naturally attract attention. He put the letter paper in his sleeve, straightened his clothes, and walked into the front hall of the bedroom. The spacious hall The lights were bright inside, Shui Jing, Yun Jin, Chu Tianmo saw Song Qingtong walking in, they all got up and saluted.

"You don't need to be polite, please sit down." Song Qingtong said, and sat down on the empty seat beside Shui Jing.
