Chapter 48: 46th
Concubine Rou's anger was originally supposed to be a fuse. It stands to reason that it should arouse everyone's public anger, especially the emperor's. After all, what Meng Fuying did would bring shame to the royal family.
However, no one thought that the emperor would have such an attitude, and even advised Concubine Rou to calm down.
All the people looked at the emperor in astonishment, especially the crown prince, whose eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
Only Xuanyuan Ye remained indifferent, without any surprise.
"Your Majesty, can this concubine calm down? Ye'er is the only son of this concubine, and Meng Fuying escaped from marriage on the day of the wedding, making Ye'er suffer such humiliation. How can this concubine calm down at this moment?" the emperor said. The consolation seemed to make Concubine Rou more excited, her voice became a little higher, and the anger in her voice became more obvious.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything else. He never thought that Meng Fuying would run away from marriage. It was indeed embarrassing for Ye'er to run away on the day of the wedding, but that girl was able to live here. Under the careful arrangement, he was still able to escape, which really shocked him a little.
That girl is really capable. The face of the royal family is indeed important, but there is one thing that is more important than this face.
So, in a sense, he didn't realize how bad it was, or, that girl's escape from marriage could actually do him a big favor.
And if Ye'er really wants to marry her, she will become Ye'er's princess sooner or later. He believes in Ye'er's ability.
What's more, he knows that Meng Yuntian loves this daughter to the bone, not to mention Meng Yuntian's several life-saving graces to him, but Meng Yuntian's loyalty to the Xuanyuan Dynasty is enough for him to tolerate that girl .
Back then, Jing'er was a marriage between the two countries, and it was related to the relationship between the two countries. How could he not know the little tricks played by Jing'er, and he condoned such things.
Today's matter, after all, is only a matter within the Xuanyuan Dynasty. This kind of tolerance is not difficult for him. In fact, he knows that the shadow girl has been running around Jinger very frequently these days, so I'm afraid he has figured it out. He this.
That girl, as smart as a fox, will definitely be able to help Ye'er in the future. He wouldn't be surprised if Ye'er fell in love with her.
He was originally a temperamental person.
It’s just that his love, but…
"Yeah, that ugly **** is really too much. He even ran away from marriage. Seventh brother is willing to marry her. She should be thankful. He still escaped. That ugly **** is stupid again." Xuanyuanmo's mouth is always poisonous, It is the same at this moment.
Xuanyuan Fan's eyes flickered slightly, quickly revealing a bit of dissatisfaction, and even more worry.
"Hehe... She must not have become stupid. If she becomes stupid, can she escape?" Xuanyuan Chen's thoughts were relatively simple. After hearing Xuanyuan Mo's words, he refuted again and again. With a slight smile.
He is always playful, so this matter is not so complicated for him, only the excitement in his heart because of playfulness.
"Ye'er, what are you going to do after you find her?" Concubine Rou suddenly asked again. With Xuanyuan Ye's search method, she believed that she would be able to find Meng Fuying in a short time. She wanted to know now, Ye After finding Meng Fuying, what will he do?
In the usually gentle eyes, I don't know if it's because of being too angry, but there seems to be a hint of cruelty.
Actually, it is a little unwise for Concubine Rou to ask this question at this time, but everyone knows that she is innocent and understands her mood at the moment, so she didn't say anything.
The prince's eyes glanced at Concubine Rou lightly, something seemed to slip through the depths of the eyes, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Yes, I am also a little curious, the seventh brother brought that woman back, How to deal with it? Cut to pieces?"
The prince smiled lightly, but the words he said were extremely cruel, as if cutting them into pieces was as natural as drinking water and eating.
There was a slight pause in the words, and the corners of the lips curled slightly, "However, it seems that it is too cheap for her. She embarrasses the seventh brother so much, how could she be relieved by a thousand cuts? It's all gone, let's parade her through the streets, that will relieve hatred more than killing her, and as for the people who are waiting for the palace, they will naturally all be cut off, what is the suggestion of the seventh younger brother Jue Bengong?"
The prince still had a chuckle on his face, and stared straight at Xuanyuan Ye with a pair of eyes, showing sharpness and a little bit of inquiry. He wanted to know whether Xuanyuan Ye had gone through so much trouble because of that woman. Running away from marriage angered him, or because...
The emperor's brows were tightly frowned, and there was obvious dissatisfaction in his eyes. It's really thanks to him to say such words. How can this be said by a prince?
"As the prince of a country, you say such vulgar words, do you think that all people are as bad as you?" Xuanyuan Fan suddenly roared angrily. His roar really surpassed everyone. The people expected, and the words were too sharp and extreme, and they didn't show the prince any kindness at all.
Although Xuanyuanfan has always supported Xuanyuanye and opposed the prince, but it was only in private and not on the surface.
On the surface, it would still be more or less perfunctory, but at this moment, Xuanyuan Fan...
"Oh, why is the eighth brother so excited? Could he be involved in this matter? Could it be that you helped the woman escape, or else, how could she have such abilities by herself?" The prince's lips cornered The sneer slowly spread away, and when he looked at Xuanyuan Fan with his eyes, it was a bit ruthless.
"Don't sow discord here, the relationship between us and Seventh Brother is not something you can just say a few words." Xuanyuan Fan retorted angrily as the anger in his eyes kept rising.
"Hehe, do you still need me to sow discord? Your tense attitude is really too suspicious." The prince chuckled disapprovingly, but turned his eyes to Xuanyuan Ye again, and asked with deep meaning, "Seventh brother, what do you think?"
The corners of Xuanyuanye's lips twitched slightly, and there was nothing strange on his cold face. He looked at the prince, and said slowly, "You just want to know. , how will you deal with it, this king can tell you that this king really disdains your bloody, violent and vulgar methods, and this king has always done things only for himself. The mistakes she made, this king is not ignorant Transferring anger to Prince Hou's mansion, Lord Hou's loyalty to the Xuanyuan Dynasty is well known to everyone. Did the crown prince want to cause chaos when he cut down the manor of Prince Hou's mansion? Compared with the Xuanyuan Dynasty, this king's embarrassment today is more familiar than that of the Xuanyuan Dynasty. This king It's still clear."
Everything Xuanyuan Ye said is reasonable, and there is no chance for people to refute.
Meng Yuntian's loyalty is well known in the world, and every time there is an incident over the years, it is Meng Yuntian who goes to quell the chaos. If because of this, the people in the Hou Wang's mansion are chopped off, it will definitely chill the hearts of the people in the world. , It will make all the people of the Xuanyuan Dynasty feel chilled and flustered.
At that time, it will definitely cause chaos.
Naturally he wouldn't do that, and his father would definitely not do that, but when he said this, there was a bit of hatred in his heart, that woman, I'm afraid she must have recognized this point, so she dared to do this arrogance.
"Hehe..." The crown prince smiled coldly, "Seventh brother really understands righteousness and only targets himself, so I want to see how seventh brother will deal with that woman after he catches her back?"
"That is the king's own business. Since the father made a decree to grant the marriage, then she is the king's woman. Since she is the king's woman, it is the king's family affairs. It's not the crown prince's turn to interfere." Xuanyuan Ye smiled coldly and retorted unhurriedly.
In one sentence, Meng Fuying's escape from marriage today is classified as a family matter, which means that all matters are his own affairs, and have nothing to do with the royal family, and have nothing to do with everyone in the world.
As for the embarrassment and embarrassment, he didn't feel anything, because he never cared about other people's opinions.
What he was angry with was that woman's escape, and what he hated was that she was so heartless.
So, no matter what, he will bring her back, even if he dares to run away on the wedding day, he will let her know the consequences of doing so.
The emperor was slightly stunned for a moment, and his eyes flashed a bit of approval. Ye'er always did things according to his wishes, so he didn't have to make things difficult for him.
The smile on the prince's face froze suddenly. He didn't expect Xuanyuan Ye to answer like this. He thought Xuanyuan Ye would cover up more or less, but he didn't expect that he would be so direct.
Concubine Rou's complexion also changed slightly, and the anger in her eyes still persisted. It was obvious that she hated Meng Fuying to the extreme, so she was not very satisfied with Xuanyuanye's words.
But Xuanyuanye didn't say that he would not punish Meng Fuying, so she couldn't say anything at the moment, so she could only endure her dissatisfaction.
"I've made my concubine angry, please go back to the palace to rest first." When Xuanyuan Ye turned to Concubine Rou, the coldness on his face faded a little, his tone softened a lot, and his voice was full of respect.
However, when his long eyelashes were slightly retracted, his eyes seemed to flicker quickly.
Concubine Rou was slightly startled, seeing Xuanyuan Ye's filial piety, a satisfied chuckle spread across her lips, the anger in her eyes also slowly faded away, and her usual gentleness was restored again, her red lips parted lightly, the softness could make her drunk The dead man's voice sounded again, "Okay, then mother and concubine will go back first, and you can handle this matter by yourself."
Just now Xuanyuan Ye has made it very clear that it is his own business, so she won't take any further action. You can't control it any more.
With a loving face and a gentle face, the eyes looking at Xuanyuan Ye are full of distress.
At this moment, she seems to have forgotten the unhappiness Meng Fuying brought her, and there is only pure love and pure emotion in her eyes.
That beautiful face and those pure eyes are like a fairy who does not eat fireworks.
After staying in the palace for more than 20 years, but still able to maintain such purity, or is there really a miracle in this world?
She is simple, but she can grasp the advance and retreat just right!
"Well, my child understands." Xuanyuan Ye lowered his eyes slightly, and responded in a low voice, his voice was still as respectful as before.
"Let's go, I'm going back too, let Ye'er handle this matter by herself." The emperor said softly, took Concubine Rou with one hand, turned slightly, and walked out.
Holding Concubine Rou's hand was very gentle, without using any force, as if she was afraid of hurting her, but in that softness, it seemed that there was just a little bit of the passion in the true love between men and women, or old couples, it's like this . After all, time has passed and people are getting old...
"Respectfully send off the father and concubine Rou." Several princes saluted one after another, sending the emperor and Concubine Rou off.
"Brother Seven, that ugly monster you said, will she really be in King Yi's Mansion?" Seeing the emperor leave, Xuanyuan Mo became less apprehensive. He still didn't quite believe that that woman would enter King Yi's Mansion.
"That's not sure. Since it's all here, let's help to find it. Maybe, I really found it." The prince narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with deep meaning.
He knows Xuanyuan Ye's ability too well. Since Xuanyuan Ye doubts, he must have his reasons. He is really looking forward to Xuanyuan Ye finding that woman soon. Because, he really wanted to know how Xuanyuan Ye would deal with that woman, which was too important to him.
"Okay, I'll go find her too. If I let her find her, I will never spare her." Xuanyuan Mo snorted coldly, and said angrily. Ever since Meng Fuying stung him with a bee, he I have always held a grudge.
"Okay, let's go find them all." Xuanyuan Chen no longer concealed the excitement in his eyes, and echoed Xuanyuan Mo's words again and again.
Only Xuanyuan Fan's face was a little heavy, and his eyes were a little more worried.
Xuanyuan Ye frowned slightly, and there seemed to be some dissatisfaction hidden in his eyes. Seeing Xuanyuan Mo who was about to take a step, he said coldly, "Stop."
Xuanyuan Mo stopped in his tracks, and looked at him in confusion, "Seventh brother, what's wrong?"
"Since father and king have already left, everyone should leave too. I will handle this king's affairs by myself."
He has always disliked other people interfering in his affairs, let alone this one.
Of course, he doesn't want the prince to stay here.
"Come here, send the crown prince and the lords away." Before Xuanyuan Mo could refute, Xuanyuan Ye had already issued an order coldly.
The prince's eyes suddenly sank, and the hands hidden under his clothes seemed to tighten slightly. Hmph, are you in such a hurry to drive him away?
"Yes." The guards who were searching nearby hurried over, responded respectfully, then turned to the prince and several princes, and said in a low voice, "Prince please, princes please."
"Seventh brother, you are going too far, we just want to help you find it, you..." Xuanyuan Mo protested dissatisfied, and Xuanyuan Chen was also dissatisfied, but he didn't express his dissatisfaction.
"Let's go. Is it possible that you still want to disobey Seventh Brother's order." Xuanyuan Fan slightly pulled Xuanyuan Mo and walked out, but the worry in his eyes was a little less. He knew that the most important thing for Seventh Brother to do this was to let the prince leave.
The prince glanced at him coldly, and a sneer with ulterior motives appeared on the corners of his lips. His lips moved slightly, and he said coldly, "Well, since the seventh brother doesn't welcome me so much, then I won't stay with you. It's no fun here."
After all, he still doesn't have the ability to dare to confront Xuanyuan Ye directly, so it is impossible for him to provoke Xuanyuan Ye at this time.
When everyone left, Xuanyuan Ye's eyes swept across the courtyard slightly, and the anger in the eyes no longer concealed.
He didn't even know how long he hadn't been angry, but today, she really angered him.
He didn't believe that the woman could escape...
All the guards were looking for them carefully, and they didn't miss any place. They also searched the rooms that hadn't been lived in for a long time.
Searching one by one, Xuanyuan Ye was also walking slowly in King Yi's mansion, but his eyes slowly scanned every corner he went.
Finally, walked into the backyard.
"Your Highness, this subordinate led people to search the East Courtyard, but found nothing." After a leading guard came out of the East Courtyard, he reported in a low voice.
"Your Highness, I have led people to search the West Courtyard, but nothing has been found." Another group of guards also came to report.
"Your Highness, the South Court has not found anything."
"Your Highness, the main courtyard has not been found..."
One by one report, but all the results of failure.
Only the backyard was left, and a few guards were still looking for it. Xuanyuan Ye's eyes sank slightly.
"Your Highness, there is no one in this backyard."
No one has lived in this entire backyard.
"Have you searched all the places?" Xuanyuan Ye frowned slightly, and asked again in a cold voice. Could it be that he made a wrong judgment?
"Yes, I have already searched for them." Several guards replied in unison, how dare they neglect His Highness's order. as long as you can find it,
They searched for them one by one, even if they saw a mouse hole, they dug it.
Xuanyuanye is very aware of the ability of his subordinates to handle affairs. With such a search, there was no way that woman would be able to hide.
Could it be that she didn't enter Prince Yi's mansion?
Besides, Meng Fuying, after entering the room, the more she thought about it, the more dangerous she became. Xuanyuan Ye could tell at a glance where she escaped from.
Since he guessed that she got off the sedan chair on this side of the bridge, if he can't find her outside later, he will definitely search the mansion.
Thinking of this, Meng Fuying picked up the dry food hidden under the bed earlier, and jumped out from the window.
Fortunately, she didn't beat the dust in the room, nor did she tear up the spiders in the room.
And the floor of this room is that kind of soil floor, so it is impossible to see her footprints without staring carefully.
Therefore, in the whole room, there was not much abnormality at all, and after the guards searched, it was even less likely that they would find the traces left by her.
And not far behind this room, there is just a small bridge, a small wooden bridge.
His eyes flickered slightly, Meng Fuying quickly walked to the side of the bridge, carefully inspected the situation under the bridge, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, this bridge is a good hiding place.
Under the bridge, there happens to be a horizontal wooden beam that supports the bridge body, and this bridge is also slightly arched.
Meng Fuying got under the bridge, and then climbed on the wooden beam. Slightly arched body, sticking to the bridge deck.
No matter from which direction, it is difficult to find her, unless she jumps into the river.
As soon as he hid, he heard messy footsteps, and a guard shouted loudly, "Search, search carefully, and don't miss any corner."
Meng Fuying, who was hiding under the bridge, took a deep breath. Xuanyuan Ye had indeed become a genius. She never thought that people would come to search the palace so soon. Fortunately, she was already prepared.
If she is still in that room at this moment, she must be caught.
Knowing Xuanyuan Ye's danger earlier, Meng Fuying is still a little scared at this moment.
Those guards never thought that she was hiding under the bridge, or, at all, they never thought that people could hide under this bridge, so naturally it was impossible to find her.
While she was secretly rejoicing, she heard Xuanyuan Ye's voice, she was startled suddenly, her hands trembled slightly, why did Xuanyuan Ye come to this backyard?
At this moment, all the rooms in the backyard are opened, and the tables and beds in the room have been moved, which shows how carefully the guards searched.
Xuanyuan Ye's eyes swept across those rooms one by one. With this kind of search, let alone a person, even an ant can be found.
His pupils darkened slightly. do not have it?
I don't know if it was because he was unwilling, but instead of leaving, he continued to walk towards the backyard.
The backyard was supposed to be the place where the prince's wife lived, but for so many years, his backyard has been empty. However, the scenery in this backyard is particularly beautiful, with mountains and rivers embracing each other, flowers embracing each other, and the woods becoming shade.
When the guard saw the prince walking in, he was stunned for a moment, and then reported respectfully again, "Your Highness, all the subordinates behind have already looked for it."
Xuanyuan Ye did not stop, and continued to walk forward, bypassing the several rooms in front, looking in the direction of the bridge with his eyes, and narrowing his eyes slightly.
Although the guard was a little puzzled, he didn't dare to say anything.
Meng Fuying, who was hiding under the bridge, suddenly felt her heart suspend. Her ears were now pressed against the bridge surface, so she could hear the footsteps very clearly.
She could hear that Xuanyuan Ye was slowly walking towards this side.
Could it be that he discovered it?
Meng Fuying's hand holding the wooden beam subconsciously tightened, tightened.
In my heart, I was a little nervous, but I tried my best to hold my breath, for fear that Xuanyuan Ye would notice any sound I made.
Xuanyuan Ye continued to walk forward, but his eyes flickered slightly.
His steps were very slow, only a few steps away, but he walked for a long, long time.
Meng Fuying, who was hiding under the bridge, could only feel her heart, which was about to jump out. This man is too good at torturing people.
Xuanyuan Ye finally reached the bridge, and then stopped. Meng Fuying felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to be frozen, and he stopped!
He actually stopped on the bridge, so does it mean that he really found her?
Heaven, Xuanyuan Ye, whether you are human or not, he can find out like this.
However, he just stopped on the bridge and didn't make any further movements. Therefore, Meng Fuying still climbed on the wooden beam without moving, and secretly said to himself that he didn't find her, didn't find her.
However, the sudden words from the bridge completely shattered all her fantasies.
"How long are you going to hide?" Xuanyuan Ye's lips pulled slightly, and the deep words slowly spread word by word. At this moment, the coldness was less, but there was more obvious anger.
