Chapter 274 Threat
After Murong Jie returned to the mansion, he saw Su Qing running around in the main hall like ants on a hot pot.
Seeing him coming in, he rushed forward and said in a low voice: "Not only Zian is missing, but Xiao Tuo is also missing. Xiao Tuo's servant said that before he disappeared, Zian went to look for him."
Murong Jie asked: "You mean, they disappeared together?"
"I guess so." Su Qing said worriedly: "I have ordered people to search the entire capital, and no two people are missing, and I have also circled outside the city. Now the eldest princess has gone to the epidemic area , she analyzed that Taifu Liang should find someone to inspect the epidemic area, so she should carry it there first."
Murong Jie couldn't help worrying, "Where are they going? Did you ask the small courtyard? What did they say?"
"I asked Ni Rong and Dao Boss, and said that Xia Zi'an came back once, only gave Wang Yu the injection alone, and then left. At that time, everyone thought she had returned to the epidemic area, so they didn't ask. It has been two full days now I'm afraid that someone will speculate that she escaped, after all, she has issued a military order, and there are still six days before the half month agreed."
Murong Jie knew that Zi'an would not leave without a reason, let alone run away.
He has analyzed with her that the military order does not restrict her in any way, even if it is really time to come to the moment of questioning before the imperial court, she does not have to be afraid.
But where did she go? And she left after looking for Xiao Tuo, could it be that she asked Xiao Tuo to accompany her to find the prescription?
She has a clue?
But why not come and tell him?
Murong Jie didn't continue to think deeply, he was a man of action, and ordered to go down to prepare the horse, and asked Su Qing to gather the guards and go out to find Zi'an.
But before going out, Ah Fu came, "My lord, please go over there."
Since the death of Aunt Si Zhu, the two have never met each other. Murong Jie did not go to pay her respects, and she would not let someone pass on Murong Jie. Although the mother and son lived under the same roof, they only treated each other as if they did not exist .
At this juncture, Murong Jie couldn't help but pay attention when she wanted to see him.
"What happened?" he asked coldly.
"No, the noble concubine only said that she would let the servants pass on the lordship, but she didn't say anything." Ah Fu said.
Su Qing stepped forward and said: "My lord, go for a while, maybe the noble concubine will know where Xia Zian has gone."
Murong Jie's eyes suddenly turned cold, remembering that she had attacked Zi'an before, and it is not ruled out that she will attack her again this time.
When Murong Jie came to Qingning Pavilion, Aunt Sizhu's white lanterns for the funeral had not been taken down yet, and the yard was filled with whiteness. The huge paper crane that once rose high was still hanging on the top of the tree. It says to drive the crane west.
A familiar tingling sensation welled up in his heart, and his eyes were almost filled with hatred.
After staying for a while, he strode in, and his expression returned to normal.
The Concubine Gui is in the dormitory, Ah Fu led him outside, opened the curtain, Fu said, "Concubine Gui, the prince is here."
A tired voice came from inside, "Come in."
Ah Fu came out, bowed and said, "My lord, please."
Murong Jie lifted the bead curtain and walked in slowly.
She was half lying on the bed, her face was pale, her hanging hair was somewhat dyed with hoarfrost, and her face without makeup was much older.
Seeing him come in, she asked the maid to help her sit up, and then raised her hand to let the maid back out.
Murong Jie stood there without even raising his eyebrows, but asked indifferently: "Is there something wrong with your concubine inviting me here?"
The noble concubine smiled sadly, "You hate mother concubine, don't you? You don't even want to call mother concubine."
Murong Jie recalled that Zi'an called Prime Minister Xia, but she never called her father or father. It seems that sometimes you don't even want to put on a show to some people.
"I have something to talk about." Murong Jie's stern face was a little impatient.
"You can be so indifferent to those who gave birth to you, how good will you be to Xia Zi'an?" The noble concubine put aside her sadness just now, and said coldly.
"It obviously has nothing to do with you."
The noble concubine sat up again, her eyes were broken and cold, "It's okay, don't worry, Aijia didn't ask you to come and see Aijia, and I never expected Aijia to lie on this hospital bed, you will visit. The reason why I called you here today is because you are still the regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Your younger brother needs your permission to return to the capital. Now that Ai’s family is sick, there must be no one to take care of him. Ai’s family wants you to issue an order to allow your younger brother to return to Beijing. Patient."
Murong Jie smiled faintly, "There is no shortage of attendants around the Grand Concubine."
"Is that the same? Ai's family needs their own son by their side. Among the servant girls in the house, which one has the same heart as Ai's family?" The noble concubine said sharply.
"The imperial concubine is full of energy, it can be seen that the illness is not serious, not to the point where King Nanhuai should return to Beijing to serve the illness."
The imperial concubine was so angry that she coughed several times in a row, panting after coughing, she stood up on the edge of the bed, and walked in front of Murong Jie with the help of the maid.
She tried her best to straighten her back and raised her head. Even though she was ill, she still had a domineering aura, "Aijia just asks you, will you make this decree or not?"
Murong Jie didn't even think about it, "Impossible!"
Concubine Gui took a step back and stared at him with vicious eyes, "Okay, since that's the case, Xia Zian won't be able to come back either."
Murong Jie raised his sinister eyes, "You ordered someone to take her away?"
The Concubine Gui sneered, "A woman of unknown origin and shameless, you regard her more important than your own mother. It can be seen that the filial piety that your ancestors emphasized has not been inherited from you."
Murong Jie's face was cold, and his tone was even colder, "Did you take her away?"
The noble concubine raised her hand and let the maid help her to sit on the chair. She straightened her waist hard, raised her chin slightly, and her eyes were sharp. To bring your brother back."
Murong Jie's voice was filled with storms, "This king said it was impossible."
"Then Xia Zi'an must die." The imperial concubine said bitterly.
Murong Jie took a step closer, with a dangerous and bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes, "What happens to Xia Zian, King Nanhuai will take care of her!"
"Do you dare?" The Concubine Gui shouted sharply, and she jumped up against the table, the sickness just now dissipated, her face was livid.
Murong Jie smiled coldly, still staring at her, "Try!"
The noble concubine slapped him with all her strength, and said tremblingly: "That's your own brother, rebellious son, why did the Ai family give birth to such a rebellious son like you? It would be better if the Ai family was born after you I strangled you to death."
Murong Jie's eyes turned cold, and his lips curled up in a sarcasm, "You won't, the year this king was born, you were conferred the title of imperial concubine, you are reluctant."
"Get out!" The Grand Concubine acted like crazy, picked up the cup on the coffee table and threw it at it.
Murong Jie took it with one hand, stretched out his hand, loosened it suddenly, and the cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. He said word by word: "I assure you, what's the matter with Zian, King Nanhuai's head is just like this cup." Same!"
After speaking, he smiled coldly, turned around and left in a huff.
