Chapter 493 The Prince arrives
The night was drooping, and in the spacious study, Zhu Xiaoyan squinted his eyes under the candlelight and listened to An Weixue's narrative. He frowned from time to time, and his face was thoughtful.
"Your Majesty, in his opinion, it doesn't seem like what Song Nan sent someone to do. The subordinate deliberately tested that the prince was going to catch big fish on a long line and let the thief leave the palace, but Song Nan was not nervous. You think that if Song Nan ordered someone to do it, once the thief who entered the house got out of trouble, he would definitely return to the Guanxue Building as soon as possible. Wouldn't it be revealed that it was Song Nan's instructions? After the lower official left, he deliberately stopped near Zuo to see if Song Nan would make any changes to prevent the people who entered the house from returning to Guanxue Tower, but there was no difference. It can be seen that Song Nan is not worried about this.
Zhu Yu straightened up slightly and said, "If it weren't for him, who else would it be?" Who is so bold in Ningxia Town?
An Weixue said, "Maybe... Maybe it's really a poor and crazy thief. There are many people who have taken risks these days, and the governor's government has also been thieves..."
"joke." Zhu Yu shouted, "That's your incompetence. Even if the thief dares to steal the palace, he dares not enter my Qingwang Mansion. This matter must have something to do with Song Nan. He pretended to be calm. Maybe he knew that we had not caught the thief, and it was impossible to find him at all. I don't understand. Does this thief have wings? Thousands of guards searched for more than ten hours, but they couldn't find anything. Either the thief had escaped, or there was an insider in the palace who should hide his whereabouts for him, otherwise why couldn't he be found?
Zhu Yuqi bumped up angrily and patted the armrest and shouted, "Baoyi and Baoren, you two go to pass on my words and call all the guards in the house. I want to ask them how they searched, a group of rice buckets."
Two of the ten personal guards standing behind Zhu Yuqi's seat answered. The two people's faces were slightly different from those of the Han people, with a strange accent. If Song Nan was here, he would definitely recognize the identities of the two people at a glance. The two guards were the two fake books that had a relationship between Xiangshan and Song Nan that day. The Uygu guards around the born King Anhua; both of them are surnamed Ye and given Han names by the King Anhua. One is Ye Baoyi and the other is Ye Baoren.
After a while, the three guard commanders and nine guard deputy commanders in the royal palace all panicked and followed Ye Baoren and Ye Baoyi to the courtyard where Zhu Xiaoqi was located and stood tremblingly under the porch.
Zhu Huanqi got up and came to the door, looked at the guards who had been busy all night and did not dare to breathe for a long time. He snorted coldly, "A bunch of rice buckets, what do you want? The royal palace is so big that neither of them can find it. Tell me, how should I punish you?
More than a dozen deputy commanders knelt down on the ground one after another. The prince said that they would be punished, or at least they would have to take off their skin. How can everyone not panic?
"Zhou He, tell me, how did you search?" Zhu Wei said coldly.
Wu He, the commander of the Southern Guards Camp, trembled and said, "My humble position is incompetent, but my lord, we have almost turned over the area under our jurisdiction, and we have turned over a plant, tree and dirt. I really haven't seen a thief. Maybe... The thief has really escaped."
"Rope? Where to get out? Can they get out? What you said is light. Baoxin pulled him out and slapped him for 30 years. He had a good way to shirk responsibility, but he was not good at doing things. Zhu Wei scolded angrily.
A big man came out of the ten guards. He picked up the Zhou He and dragged him to the porch. Zhou He didn't even dare to beg for mercy. He was pulled his mouth horizontally by the guard named Baoxin. After the crackling sound, he fainted in the snow and lost more than a dozen teeth in his mouth.
Everyone was as quiet as a cicada, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out. Zhu Yan toured the leaders coldly and suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the crowd, "Wang Xingren, what's wrong with you? What are you doing with your head and face?
Wang Xingren almost peed his trousers, crawled forward, took off his mask, and said, "Your Majesty, the little one is injured. His face was unsightly and he was afraid of staining the prince's eyes, so he wrapped his face.
Zhu Wei frowned and said, "How did you get hurt? Your face seems to have been beaten. Do you dare to fight with the guards in the camp?
Wang Xingren hurriedly said, "The prince calmed his anger. This injury was that the thief arrived at the West Tower last night and was beaten by the maidservant in the princess's house. The villain only cared about the thief and did not care about the rules of the house and offended the princess. This is the villain's fault."
"Oh? Was it the princess's maidservant? Zhu Wei frowned and said, "What the hell is going on?"
Wang Xingren hurriedly told what happened last night and didn't dare to miss it. Zhu Yu listened carefully and said with a gloomy face, "Wang Xingren, I'm afraid you don't want to live. It's a death crime for you to break into the bedroom of the princess of Ping'an."
Wang Xingren kowtowed like garlic and said, "The villain is just to investigate the thief, but there is no other idea. The prince gave the order to die. How dare the villain not do his best? That's why I would rather be humiliated by slapping myself, but also to find out the dead corner to prevent the thief from hiding.
Zhu Wei snorted, "Let's talk about this later. Do you mean that you entered the courtyard of the West Building last night with the figure of the thief?"
"There is no doubt that my brothers were killed when they were facing the thief in Dongshou. Everyone saw the thief flee to the west building. The villain chased them, but there was no trace of the thief. They also searched upstairs and downstairs, and the yard was also turned over. The villain had no choice but to offend the princess and went into the princess's house to check. However, there is no trace of thieves.
Zhu Qianyu was silent for a while, turned his head and asked, "How many maidservant girls are there in the princess's West Building?" What's their names?"
An old monkey-brimmed old man appeared from the porch and said, "Go back to the prince, nine women and seven maidservants, only three maidservants in the princess's room and the outer room on the third floor; only Qingluan can enter the room to serve."
"Who is this spring flower? Wang Xingren was slapped like this by her a few times, and the spring flower was also in the princess's room at the time of the incident. Why is that? Zhu Yu asked.
The old monkey frowned and said, "Spring flowers... Spring flowers, there doesn't seem to be this person."
Zhu Huanqi's eyes were sharp and gritted his teeth and said, "Well, it turned out that it was difficult to prevent thieves. Why can't I find them, but it turned out to be very strange. Go to the West Tower immediately to see who this maid named Chunhua is, and ask my good niece to introduce me.
......
Princess Ping'an seemed to be touched by Song Nan's words. She had been thinking about it from the afternoon to after dinner, and seemed to be struggling in her heart.
Song Nan fully understands her mood. On the one hand, there is a blood relationship between King Qing and King Anhua. The deceased old prince and King Anhua belong to half-brothers. They are all family. It will be emotionally entangled to deal with King Anhua with the help of outsiders.
But on the other hand, King Anhua occupied the Qing Palace, as if he was already the owner here. Whether it was the little prince, King Qingding or Princess Ping'an, the living condition was very bad. This palace is no longer the place where they can give orders, and this will definitely cause the dissatisfaction of Princess Ping'an, but he is young and wise. The little prince and Princess Ping'an, a weak woman, are really powerless to fight. Because of this, Song Nan's words have great ** power for Princess Ping'an.
After dinner, Song Nan did not disturb the princess sitting at the table. She asked Qingluan for help. With the cover of the night, Li Laba, who was tied like Zongzi, slowly fell down from the back window with a long rope, and then climbed down and Qingluan took him to the broken flower room in the corner of the yard and let him eat something. After drinking some water, Song Nan continued to gag his mouth and tied his hands to hide him behind a pile of damaged tables, chairs and benches.
After returning upstairs, Song Nan immediately got into the quilt in the corner and slept. He wanted to have a good sleep. Tomorrow is the first day. Whether he can get out of the royal palace smoothly will be tomorrow. Anyway, let's refresh his spirit first. Song Nan put her head in the quilt so that Princess Ping'an would not feel embarrassed when she was sleeping. Due to mental fatigue, she soon fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Song Nan felt that someone was shaking her body. She opened her eyes in surprise. The room was dark, and a dark shadow whispered in her ear, "Lord Song, wake up, wake up quickly."
Song Nan quickly sat up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qingluan's voice whispered and anxiously in his ear, "It's reported that the prince is coming. Your excellency, get up quickly. You can't sleep here. Maybe the prince will come into the room."
Song Nan was shocked and said, "What about the princess?"
The voice of Princess Ping An in the dark came from **: "I'm here."
Song Nan quickly got up. Qingluan quickly rolled up the bedding and stuffed it into the cabinet and whispered, "Princess, the prince may have entered the building with his people. Where should Lord Song hide? The maidservant is worried that the prince will definitely come into the room."
Princess Ping'an was silent for a while and said, "The old way, Lord Song came to bed. After a while, when Uncle Wang wanted to see me, he said that I had a headache and it was inconvenient to get up."
Song Nan hurriedly said, "Don't... I'd better go out of the window and hide in the porch."
Princess Ping An whispered, "Do you want to kill us? Uncle Wang's entourage hugged back and forth. As soon as he came to this room, there would be guards in the front and back corridors. Where can you hide?
Song Nan was speechless and listened to the sound of the stairs. A maid's soft voice came from outside: "Sister Qingluan, Sister Qingluan wake up."
Qingluan pretended to have just woken up and said, "Xiao Zaoer, what's the matter? It's noisy in the middle of the night."
"Prince Anhua is here and is sitting downstairs. He wants the princess to go down to see him. My sister should wake up the princess and go down to meet people."
"Oh, I see." Qingluan answered.
The footsteps outside left, and Song Nan's heart tightened. Now it should be almost three times. At this time, Anhua Wang's sudden visit must not be a good thing. Has his whereabouts been exposed?
"Qingluan, go downstairs and say that I have a headache and it's inconvenient to get up to greet me. Please forgive my rudeness." Princess Ping'an whispered.
Qingluan agreed in a low voice, came to the door, opened a crack and looked outside, and turned out of the door and went downstairs.
"Come up quickly." In the dark, Princess Ping An urged in a low voice.
Song Nan knew that there was no other way. As soon as the king of Anhua arrived, there must be guards around the west building, and it was absolutely impossible to cover up his whereabouts. The princess's ** is still the safest place. The princess is very smart and does not leave the house pretending to be sick. The prince's guards can't come in and search when the princess leaves the room. This is the only thing that can be confused. The way to go.
Song Nan no longer thought much. In addition to his shoes in his arms, he reached out to touch the curtain by the bed and lifted it. He bowed his body and touched it up. There was a soft and warm feeling from his tentacles, and the warm wind blew on the palm of his hand. He quickly shrank his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I can't see clearly."
"Come on... come on." The princess's breathing was a little short and her face was burning.
Song Nan hurriedly climbed into the bed, climbed over the princess's body and went inside, lifted the quilt and got in. When she crawled, her hands and feet touched many high and low temperature places, and the two of them gasped nervously.
After entering the quilt, Song Nan deliberately kept a distance from Princess Ping'an and did not dare to touch her body. The warm smell of his nose made him almost breathless.
"You are so far away from me, won't you be seen by someone else when the light is on?" Princess Ping's low way.
"But..."
"If you want to be found, you can twist it here. I'm not afraid. What are you afraid of?" Princess Ping's words are sarcastic.
Song Nan's face turned red. Yes, it's not the first time. I slept in this bed last night. I was still pretending to be serious here. I was worried that the princess would be disgusted to do something like a gentleman. Since the princess has said so, what else can she pretend?
"I'm offended!"
Song Nan moved her body and pressed her back tightly to the princess's back. Her hand also naturally put her arms around Princess Ping's waist and tightly put the two bodies together. Princess Ping's heart pounded and said to herself, "As long as you are closer, I won't let you hold it so tightly. This... This man is very dishonest."
Song Nan's heart also pounded. Princess Ping's body was only wearing a thin nightgown. Although she was wearing clothes, she could still feel the touch brought by her plump and soft body, especially between the palms on the princess's lower abdomen. The flat and soft lower abdomen made people couldn't help touching it gently.
Neither of them dared to talk for a moment. The room could hear each other's heartbeat and breathing silently, and the close bodies slowly warmed up, and the stiff skin gradually relaxed and became soft. Song Nan felt that he was going to do something strange in some places, which was right on the princess's buttocks, this time more direct than last night. At least the princess was still wearing clothes last night, but now there is only a thin layer of pajamas.
Song Nan took a deep breath, forced herself to transfer the discomfort caused by the beauty in her arms, and asked in a low voice, "Princess, how do you know that King Anhua is coming here?"
Princess Ping An tried her best to ignore the discomfort caused by the hard objects against * and gasped, "Qingluan... Well... Qingluan arranged manpower at the entrance of the yard, which is her best sister Yun'er; what she was afraid of was a sudden search. Yun'er saw the prince's figure and came up to tell him. Qingluan, otherwise how could you know?
Song Nan sighed and whispered, "It seems that the princess has been on guard for a long time."
Princess Ping'an said an andly, "How can I take it lightly if you are hiding in my room as a thief?" Uncle Wang is not an ordinary person. If you underestimate Uncle Wang, it will be a big mistake. If you are not careful, you will definitely see the flaws for him. Always be ready for everything.
Song Nan whispered, "Thank you very much. If you defend me like this, I will definitely repay you in the future."
Princess Ping'an was silent for a long time, turned her head and whispered, "My hair is scattered and covered your face, otherwise you can't even show your head."
Song Nan slowly stretched out his hand and pulled the thick green silk under the pillow. He spread it on his head like a fan. He only felt the soft silk format and his nose was full of elegant fragrance. He felt as if he had returned to the arms of his wives and concubines at home, and couldn't help but breathe a long breath of relief.
The footsteps outside the door were mixed, and it seemed that many people came upstairs. Song Nan and Princess Ping'an suddenly became nervous. Song Nan didn't need to say hello at all. Her arms passed through Princess Ping's chest and abdomen, tightly hugged the two together, narrowing the area occupied the quilt, and one foot also put on Princess Ping An's thigh.
Princess Ping An wanted to leave, but after a slight sigh, her body moved to make the posture between the two more comfortable.
"Your Majesty, when the maidservant came into the house to hold the lamp, the princess had a fever and was irritable. She was afraid that the light would be dazzling, so she didn't light up just now." Qingluan Road.
"Hmm." The majestic voice of King Anhua came.
The door opened, and the light outside the house was dazzling. A large group of people gathered around King Anhua and stood at the door. Qingluan's little figure penetrated into the room and said gently, "Princess, the prince is here, can you still hold on?"
"I can hold on. Uncle Wang, please come in." The princess said calmly.
Qingluan lit the red candle on the candlestick, came to the door and bowed his head and said, "Princes, please come in. Your Majesty, the princess is sick, and it seems inappropriate for others to come into the room. Look..."
"You stand at the door, and I will just go in alone." King Anhua turned his head and ordered.
"Your Majesty, be careful, in case the thief is really in the room..." A guard whispered.
"Baoren Baoyi, you two came in with me. This is the princess's boudoir. If you look around, I will dig your eyes." King Anhua said coldly.
"I dare not." Bao Ren and Bao Yi bowed with an iron folding fan in their hands.
The door opened, and King Anhua stepped in. The tall figure was reflected by the lantern at the door, shaking and projected in the room, and the red candle in the room suddenly became dim.
