The capital city seems to be as prosperous as before, but in fact, since Duan Jinrui disappeared on the return journey after enshrining Zen in Mount Tai, the calm waves and water patterns on the surface can no longer stop the turbulent waves below.
After the emperor learned that Duan Jinrui had been attacked and disappeared on his way back to Fengchan, Longyan was furious. All the ministers in the court were silent during this time, and even the Fendai who brought the harem did not dare to show a smile.
In the early morning, there were many ministers arguing with each other. Duan Muheng had no choice but to send his confidants to look for it.
For a while, the Imperial Guards in the capital were dispatched by Duan Muheng to investigate everywhere, not only to find the trace of Duan Jinrui, but also to see who was so bold as to touch the prince.
It was at this time that Zhuang Lijue returned to Beijing. After returning to Beijing, he went straight to the palace. Duan Muheng summoned him alone. Even Zhao Suo didn't know what was discussed between the two parties, but he knew that the emperor's mood was even worse.
"Your majesty, please have some refreshments, I see that you haven't had a good meal all day"
Zhao Suo stood at the bottom and tried hard to persuade that the emperor had been shutting himself in the bedroom all day, and only had a small amount of water.
Duan Muheng glanced at the food box opened in Zhao Suo's hand. Inside were some delicate side dishes and a bowl of round glutinous rice balls, all of them were crystal clear and lovely, floating and rolling in the white porcelain bowl, emitting heat and fragrance. It feels extraordinarily sweet.
Duan Muheng signaled Zhao Suo to take it over, pinched the spoon, and flipped the glutinous rice balls, with a look of nostalgia in his expression: "I remember that when Rui'er was young, she liked to eat such snacks the most. It was so hot that I swallowed it in one gulp, but I was reluctant to let go, and insisted on wriggling in my mouth for a long time, and when it was cold, it would protect the food like a little squirrel"
Duan Muheng swallowed a glutinous rice ball, warm | soft, just the right size and temperature: "At that time, I told myself that this is my most cherished son, and I will not allow anyone to hurt him!"
The hot glutinous rice balls will never appear in the palace again, and the cook who made the imperial meal was ordered to be executed by him, because a small part of Duan Jinrui's mouth was scalded, and it hurt for several days.
"It is natural that the emperor treats His Highness very well!"
Zhao Suo agreed with a smile, took out the other side dishes in the food box, and arranged them.
"It's a pity, the child who was so cute before has grown up!" Duan Muheng suddenly sighed, no one can tell how many complicated emotions are contained in it.
No, in fact, there is a clear distinction, Zhao Suo has served the emperor in front of him all his life, and he can roughly guess the emperor's mind. On the one hand, there is his beloved son, and on the other hand, the father and son. Down.
In this kind of matter, he didn't dare to show what he knew from the bottom of his heart. Doesn't Duan Muheng know who did it? No, he knows, even if there is no evidence, he also knows, because Nalan Mingxiu and Duan Jinrong are the most powerful weapons that the emperor indulged intentionally or unintentionally, and can restrain his beloved son.
A bowl of glutinous rice balls was quickly used up. Duan Muheng put down the spoon and wiped his hands. After wiping his hands, he said with a cold expression, "To draw up an order, Fu Mengzhi, the commander of the imperial guards, led five thousand people out of Beijing! Where Rui'er disappeared, he can be found there." Get up and search inch by inch, and anyone who dares to stop him will be shot to death!"
Duan Jinrui's life and death, it is not up to anyone but him to comment on it. It is the only treasure left to him by Huier, and he does not allow anyone to damage it!
Duan Muheng raised his head, through the dim lights, through the thick palace walls, as if he saw the woman who had been restless all this time.
On the second day, before dawn, the forbidden army in the capital was dispatched by Duan Muheng to investigate everywhere, not only to find the trace of Duan Jinrui, but also to warn some big-hearted people¡ª¡ª
Mu Wugui came out of the palace, glanced at the dark sky, took a deep breath, and a little haze appeared on his delicate face.
Duan Jinrong quietly returned to Beijing. Except for Mu Wugui, his confidant, and Nalan Mingxiu, who was always in the palace but paid close attention to him, no one had noticed that Duan Jinrong had ever left Beijing. But, did anyone else really know? ?
When Duan Jinrong came back, he looked extremely embarrassed. Even though he was clean and dressed in a green shirt, he was still so warm and moist as jade, making people approachable like a young man, but Mu Wugui would not be deceived. Those who understand people thoroughly can see that Duan Jinrong has been pushed to the limit, especially after Duan Muheng's manpower was dispatched, and there was the order to kill without mercy. In a few days, he ordered to deal with several people who seemed to Mu Wugui to be innocent.??The confidant or ally of the problem never considered whether other people around him were chilling, whether they were recalculating whether this person was worth following, or even found a new master, and were ready to bite Duan Jinrong back. Duan Jinrong's unreasonable suspicion Killing, in return, can only be the catalyst for failure to come again and again. He is about to betray his relatives, but it is only a matter of time.
Mu Wugui was thinking about whether he should try to dissuade his apparent master from biting people like a mad dog. Who knows, in the study today, Duan Jinrong actually asked him to help him plan a treacherous thing, forcing the palace !
If Mu Wugui didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to get out at all, but, suddenly, there was a feeling of destiny, he didn't agree to that person's request, nor refused, who would have thought that Duan Jinrong jumped into this pit by himself .
Reaching out to catch a fallen leaf from the sky, withered, yellow and silent, that is the elegy of life. Mu Wuzui knew clearly that if Duan Jinrong really did that, he would be looking for death, no matter if he was the master and slave for so many years or he What Mu Wuzui should do now is to stop Duan Jinrong's crazy ambition at the right time.
Gently grasped the palm of the hand, and gathered the dead leaf into it.
"Young master, the carriage is ready"
The dexterous boy walked over quickly.
Mu Wuzui didn't turn around, the clothes on his body were blown by the cold wind, and they were tightly attached to his body, making this handsome man even more frail and thin: "Is there anyone you care about?"
The man's voice was long and faint, with a hint of emptiness, but it also had a chilly autumn feel to it, which made people feel sad.
"Who do you care about?"
Suddenly being asked such a question, the boy was at a loss.
Mu Wuzui didn't urge him, and seemed to just ask casually. Those delicate eyes reflected the vastness and loneliness. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
