Chapter 90 Missing Gao Yang
In the early morning, the rain and dew in the royal garden are not dry, and the cool breeze is chirling in the morning. The hot summer morning is always the most comfortable and comfortable time of the day. The royal garden is full of all kinds of rare flowers, and the soil is full of fragrance and green grass. Anyone who comes here will be refreshed.
Qin Mubai took Li Zhi and Li Mingda to play Taijiquan in the open space between the flower plins. The imitation ability of the two little guys is very different. Although Li Mingda is young, she can raise the white book of Emperor Taizong, which shows that the nature is extraordinary. Even when playing Taijiquan, the immature push, one punch and one kick are quite attractive. In contrast, Li Zhi, who is ten years old, is more stupid and stunned. Qin Mubai has taught him many times and still poses some funny postures, like a monkey play, which makes Qin Mubai and Li Mingda laugh from time to time.
Those palace eunuchs watched Qin Mubai and others boxing, and they were curious and funny: What kind of martial arts is this? Slow and lazy, as slow as the 80-year-old lady and old man, can also strengthen the body and kill the enemy?
Just as Qin Mubai and others were having fun, and the atmosphere in the imperial garden was also relaxed and comfortable, Changsun suddenly rushed to run.
"General Changsun, what's the matter?" Qin Mubai stepped forward and said.
"General Qin, it's not good." Changsun looked warily at the palace eunuchs and others not far away, and whispered to Qin Mubai, "The last general went to the Xianju Hall and found that Princess Gaoyang was not in the hall!" I asked the palace people, but no one knew where the princess had gone. The last general had no choice but to alarm Concubine Yinde to ask her. Concubine Yinde said that the princess was ordered by her to leave the palace last night and go to the third prince Wu Wang Ke to take a local specialty specially given to Yin Defei from Anzhou.
Qin Mubai couldn't help frowning: Obviously, this is Yin Defei helping to lie! Changsun Feng naturally did not dare to cross-inquire Yin Defei, but he knew that the lost princess could not tell him, so he came to tell me that he dumped this hot mountain to me... Strangely, Princess Gaoyang didn't go back to the harem all night yesterday. Where would she go?
"General Qin, how about this?" Changsun Huang saw Qin Mubai's meditative look and asked.
"Your Majesty only asked us to look at the princess and didn't let us do anything else." Qin Mubai said lightly, "Since Yin Defei said that Princess Gaoyang went to the King of Wu, you can take a team of people to the King of Wu to invite the princess back."
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate, is it?" Changsun Xun gritted his teeth a little depressed, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The last general said something that should not have been said. Obviously, Concubine Yinde was helping Princess Gaoyang tell a lie. Princess Gaoyang probably didn't go to Wu's mansion!" So where did she go? ...If the last general really takes people to the Wu Palace to ask for people, then he will offend people! If the princess is there, the Yindefei and the princess must blame the last general for being trouble. They will say that even if the last general doesn't invite her, he will come back; if the princess is not there... Isn't it killing the lies of the Yindefei and making the king of Wu disgusted?
"Why do you spend so much time?" Qin Mubai said, "You also said it. This is something you shouldn't say. Since you shouldn't say it, you shouldn't think about it. You just need to remember that we Baiqi are on an errantor by the order of the emperor, and everything will be handled impartially. Whether it is the King of Wu, the Yinde Concubine and Princess Gaoyang, they will not blame us, because we are just ordered to act. Stop talking nonsense and take someone to Wuwang Mansion!"
"Okay... I will obey." Changsun Xun nodded helplessly and retreated.
Qin Mubai looked at his back and couldn't help narrowing the corners of his eyes: This eldest grandson is clever and exquisite. However, he is a little suspicious and indecisive. He is afraid of wolves and tigers and dare not be responsible, and it is not good to worry about doing things. In case one day a high-power man traps him, or I get into trouble, he must not hesitate to betray me or fall for me.
By the way, Princess Gaoyang left the palace all night. Where would she go? Did she really go to "clean up" the house? What kind of way will she come up with to clean up the house and love? ... Outside the palace, there are not many places for her to settle down. One is the Wu Palace, the other is the Prince's Palace and the Han Palace, and the other is... Lichenju!
By the way, she secretly left the palace and stayed up all night at this time. She certainly didn't want the royal family to know, so it was very likely that she went to Lichenju! - But why did she go to Lichenju? Yao'er is kind and compassionate. Gao Yanggong mainly asks her for help. She must be embarrassed to refuse... But to deal with Fang Yuai, what can Yao'er do to help her?
......
Qin Mubai was puzzled, and then he simply didn't think about it. Let's adapt to all kinds of changes. Anyway, I don't have anything involved. I just hope this little devil doesn't overtake things and not involve some innocent people to suffer.
It was not until noon that Changsun and the whole team did not come back. Qin Mubai muttered in his heart. While Li Zhi and Li Mingda were taking a nap, he returned to the barracks to ride on the fire cloud horse and rushed out of the palace and rushed straight to the Wu Palace.
In the king's mansion of Wu, Li Ke slept a comfortable nap on his high couch. The two maidservants were fanning next to him, and they were also a little drowsy, but they did not see Changsun and others.
Qin Mubai had to wake up Li Ke and Li Ke. Li Ke opened his eyes sleepily and saw that the visitor was Qin Mubai. He couldn't help laughing: "What day is it today? How can my quiet little king's mansion be so lively? Mu Bai, why did you come here?
After saying that, Li Ke waved his hand and motioned to retreat left and right.
"Come on, it's very hot. You can sit down and have a cup of cold white fungus lotus seed soup to relieve the summer heat." Li Ke is not in a hurry.
Qin Mubai sat down and said, "Your Highness, did Changsun and others come to your house in the morning?"
"Come on, isn't it still resting at the royal palace barracks? Yin Yang and others are drinking with them." Li Ke said with a strange smile.
Qin Mubai frowned slightly: "Princess Gaoyang didn't come to you yesterday, did she?"
Li Ke was silent for a moment and smiled strangely: "I know it's useless to lie to you. You guessed right. Even I don't know where she is now."
"Sure enough..." Qin Mubai gritted his teeth, "So you left Changsun and others. What excuse did you find to say that the princess went out? When she came back, let her go back to the palace with Changsun and others?"
"Not bad. Other than that, what else can I do? Do you want me to tell them that Gao Yang didn't come to me yesterday? Li Ke shook his head in embarrassment, "This troublesome girl, I don't know where the wild has gone now. I secretly sent people to many places to look for it, but I couldn't find it.
"Including the world's first wine and dust house?"
"Of course."
Qin Mubai was confused for a moment - where can she go?
"Actually... I've been wondering if it's possible for Gao Yang to go to Lao Si's place?"
"Wei Wangtai?" Qin Mubai frowned, "Why do you say that?"
"It's very simple." Li Ke said, "Gao Yang must have escaped from the palace to find a way because he opposed the marriage with Fang Yuai. She was powerless to fight against her father and did not dare to fight against Xuanling, so she had to take Fang Yuai to have an operation. However, Fang Yuai has always been the best friend of the fourth brother, and the fourth brother is currently very favored by his father. Therefore, no matter what method Gao Yang plans to use to deal with Fang's love, she has to go to Lao Si to find out first. First, it may be to inquire about Fang Yuai, and second, it may be to test whether Lao Si will help her or support Fang Yuai.
"So that's it! It's really possible to say so. Princess Gaoyang is not familiar with Fang's love. If she wants to love the whole house, she must know him first. The best way to understand him is to ask from the acquaintances around him that the king of Wei is her brother, which is undoubtedly the best candidate. If Princess Gaoyang can get the help of the King of Wei to clean up the house, there is no doubt that the chances of winning will be greatly increased. Qin Mubai thought for a while, and suddenly his heart moved. He asked in surprise, "Your Highness, how did you know about Princess Gaoyang's marriage?"
Li Ke was slightly stunned, gently picked the corners of his mouth and was silent for a moment, and said, "I knew it a few days ago."
"What?"
"Yes." Li Ke said lightly, "A few days ago, one evening, my father suddenly called me into the palace and announced that I would go to the imperial study room of Wude Hall to discuss the matter. At that time, Fang Xuanling was present, and the marriage of Fang Yuai and Princess Gaoyang was discussed. The father said that when the samurai was married, there was a royal patriarch and princess. Fang Xuanling, the meritorious minister of the Tang Dynasty, accepted his daughter-in-law, so he could not lose his dignity. Maybe the emperor thought that the eldest brother of the prince was a little unhdeed and had a bad reputation at present, and he sent Lao Si to come forward and was a little too flamboyant, which made people say that he was heartless, so he asked me to be the matchmaker and the main marriage.
"Then, the emperor will let you take advantage of this momentum and return again?" Qin Mubai said.
"It should be." Li Ke said indifferently, "After I show up like this, my father will look at everyone's reaction, and then decide whether to reinstate me as an official, or let me do something at my discretion."
Since he has known it for a long time, why didn't he talk about it a few days ago? ... No wonder he asked me repeatedly that day if I was "interested" in Princess Gaoyang. It turned out that he had known about the marriage for a long time. At that time, my answer was very positive, saying that I only regarded Princess Gaoyang as a friend and playmate, and as a child who was not sensible. At that time, he was probably rejuven and didn't mention it in order not to spoil everyone's interest.
Thinking of this, Qin Mubai sighed secretly in his heart: These people in the royal family have been soaked in political bitterness since childhood. They are really resourceful and can hide things. Well, I don't have to ask about the past, so as not to cause embarrassment and unhappiness.
"Since Princess Gaoyang may have gone to the Wei Palace, why hasn't she heard from her yet?" Qin Mubai asked tentatively, "Did the king of Wei really agree to help her clean up the house? This plan is currently being implemented?"
"How is that possible?" Li Ke smiled indifferently with a slight taste of contempt, "How could Lao Si take such a big risk for a half-sister? As expected, he will not help Gao Yang, but also sell Gao Yang as quickly as possible and stab the matter directly to his father. Of course, he will definitely use the most high-sounding excuse.
Qin Mubai was speechless for a long time after listening: "If that's the case... Then now, Princess Gaoyang is likely to be scolded in the emperor's imperial study?"
"Since you know it, it's time to go to Wei Wangfu to find someone now. Let's say that I told you that Gao Yang came out of me and may go to Wei Wangfu to play, and then pretend to go back to his father without knowing anything. In this way, you can get rid of the suspicion of dereliction of duty. Li Ke smiled indifferently, "I'll only tell you about these. The eldest grandson? He doesn't want to hear a few words from me.
