Chapter 173: Being a Perfect Man in My Fair Princess (8)
The emperor thought that this would completely solve the problem, but he never expected that Li Yu would come back in a panic: "Your Majesty, it's bad, the Empress and Concubine Ling fainted in the Imperial Garden, and Princess An is missing!"
"What? Why did He An disappear? How are the Queen and Concubine Ling?" the Emperor asked repeatedly, then calmed down.
"He An is a skilled martial artist, so she must not have been abducted by thieves. She must have knocked out Concubine Ling and the Queen and sneaked out of the palace." The emperor sorted out his thoughts and felt a surge of nameless anger.
"Would I harm her? She has to go against me. She is not as obedient and sensible as Xiaoyanzi at all."
"Your Majesty, this is terrible. Princess Heshu is missing, and the Fifth Prince is also missing." The emperor was suddenly speechless at the little eunuch's words.
When they arrived at the Yikun Palace, they saw the unconscious Queen and Concubine Ling. Xia Yuhe, who was standing beside them, looked worried. The Emperor was very angry, but he couldn't vent it on Xia Yuhe.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Sister He An is missing?" Shi Yi hurried over.
"You didn't know about this in advance?" The emperor looked at Shiyi with suspicion.
"Father, I was not aware of this." Shi Yi looked innocent but felt a little uneasy in his heart.
This matter was indeed planned by Shiyi. As early as the moment Ziwei had this idea, Shiyi helped Ziwei plan the whole thing, from the channel to leave the palace, and even arranged a new identity for Ziwei.
But Shiyi overlooked one thing, that is, Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi also left with Ziwei. Now he just hoped that the three of them would be smarter and not be discovered too early.
The emperor looked at Shiyi's expression and thought that he really didn't know, so he gave Shiyi a task: "Go and find them. If you can't find them, you don't have to come back."
When Xia Yuhe heard this, her face changed: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed!"
"I know you have a good relationship, and I'm sure you don't want them to get hurt, right?"
"Your son obeys the order." Shi Yi lowered his head, and the emperor couldn't see that his face was smiling like a chrysanthemum.
After all this, the emperor felt much better. Xia Yuhe felt worried. She didn't know how wild the two children would become.
"How are the Queen and Concubine Ling?" The Emperor only remembered to ask about the two of them when he felt better.
"Your Majesty, the Empress and Concubine Ling have inhaled a small amount of incense and are fine. They will not wake up until tomorrow." There was a hint of joy on the imperial physician's face as he replied.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Concubine Ling is pregnant." After the two imperial physicians jointly felt Concubine Ling's pulse, both of them had happy expressions on their faces.
"Really?" The emperor lost all his anger. "Will the drug harm Concubine Ling's fetus?"
"No, this medicine is harmless and can even be considered an excellent tranquilizer. I don't know where it came from?" The imperial physician became a little excited as he spoke, and it was obvious that he was a medicine fanatic.
The emperor was in a good mood and didn't care about the imperial physician's offense. He ordered his men to keep a good watch over the empress and Concubine Ling. He glared at Shiyi again before leaving Yikun Palace. He wanted to go back to equip Shiyi with people for the trip, to prevent Shiyi from joining forces with the other three to fool him.
The emperor believed that these four children were capable of such a thing, so he happily packed up his things, intending to do something big this time.
Now we are at war with Huijiang. If Ziwei can make meritorious service, she will be able to persuade the emperor to make her a female general. Then she will have more room for manipulation.
With the specially selected personnel of the emperor, Shiyi came to the border. At this time, Ziwei had already entered the army under a pseudonym, spent some money to become a captain of a thousand men. (I don't know the military system of the Qing Dynasty, I'm just making this up)
At this time, three months had passed since Ziwei left Beijing. Shiyi took his time along the way, giving the three of them enough time. When Shiyi arrived at the border, he saw Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi who looked very miserable.
"Fifth brother, why are you like this?" Shiyi's face was full of disbelief.
"Brother!" Xiaoyanzi almost cried when she saw Shiyi for the first time. She ran over and threw herself into Xiao Jian's arms.
"Sixth brother, it's a long story now," Yongqi said with shame on his face.
It turned out that the two had informed Ziwei in advance about leaving Beijing, but there was one thing: Ziwei had no plan to take them with her at all. When the two came out, Ziwei was long gone.
But now that the matter had come to a head, Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi made up their minds and headed straight for the border. However, they tacitly overlooked one thing: they did not bring enough silver.
"So you ran out of money halfway through the journey? You relied on performing to get here?" Shiyi was also impressed. It was not easy for a prince to be so shameless.
"We originally thought that we could find Ziwei when we came to the border, but we didn't expect that we didn't see her for several days. Moreover, it is bitterly cold in the border and no one is willing to spend money to watch the acrobatics." Xiaoyanzi was very depressed.
"It's my fault. I didn't think so much and made Xiaoyanzi and I suffer." Yongqi blamed himself very much. The young couple were so affectionate to each other, which made him feel jealous.
"Sixth Prince, since Fifth Prince and Princess Heshu have come to find you, I should follow your orders and take you back." The guard specially sent by the emperor had a cold expression on his face.
"No hurry. The Emperor originally ordered that He'an and Prince Shu Wu be brought back safely. But we haven't seen Princess He'an yet. Why are you in such a hurry?" Shi Yiyi's words made the man speechless.
"Yes, Yongjue, you are so smart. Let's go find Ziwei!" Xiaoyanzi was very excited, but her stomach started to growl, which made Yongqi's stomach growl as well.
"Let's finish our meal and take a rest first. I believe in my sister's ability." After all, Shiyi was a prince, and the guards could not refute him. They had to keep this matter in their heart and planned to tell the emperor when they wrote a letter later.
On the second day, Xiaoyanzi, who had dressed neatly, took Yongqi to Shiyi to discuss the search for Ziwei: "Then how are we going to find Ziwei? The border is so big."
"I have an idea. My sister came to the border to join the army, so we can also join the army. Isn't this just waiting for something to happen?" Shi Yi smiled evilly, and Yong Qi had a bad feeling.
Soon, Yongqi's premonition came true. The three of them came to the recruiting place and signed up to join the army. Several guards were packed up and sent to the local county magistrate. The reason given by Shiyi was to avoid alerting the enemy.
Xiaoyanzi used some silver to bribe the three of them and shared the money, but unexpectedly, Shiyi spent more money and became a captain of a thousand men.
This is a bet between Shiyi and Ziwei. Both of them start from the same point, so they want to see who is more powerful. While poor Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi are suffering as rookies, Shiyi and Ziwei are already studying how to lead their men to perform meritorious deeds.
