The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1221 The Prince is Missing
There was an accident at the border yesterday, and a deputy commander who was collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country was captured.The prince was furious, so he ordered Gu Chengyu to go to the border to assist Yin Kun in investigating the case as the inspector censor.

Just going to the border temporarily, Gu Chengyu naturally wouldn't object, and he couldn't object either.

What's more, he is worried about Yin Kun's safety, so it's better to go to the border.However, today is the day when the crown prince ascends the throne. Although everything is kept simple in accordance with the etiquette for the time being, it is still a major event to be announced to the world.

He is not here, not because he feels regretful that he cannot be successful, but because he is afraid of something unexpected.

Prince Gong and Prince Jing haven't changed much these two days, which is really strange.Don't these two people plan to do something this time?Can you really bear it?

After the crown prince ascended the throne, it would be even more difficult for the two of them to deal with the prince.

Gu Chengyu was not too worried about King Jing.After all, without full confidence, it is impossible for Prince Jing to make a move, let alone reveal his ambition early.

But for Prince Gong, Gu Chengyu didn't have much contact with him, so he was a little uncertain.

This person is different from Prince Jing. It is not easy for Prince Jing to accumulate power, and now he is afraid that he is still a little short of success.

And Prince Gong's influence in the court these years is actually not weak, not to mention that the Jingyuan Mansion is still relatively rich, and the money must have been earned.If you want to usurp the throne, you need money, weapons, and power.

Gu Chengyu shook his head, forget it, with so many people guarding the prince, there shouldn't be any mistakes.However, the border issue needs to be resolved urgently.

If we don't rectify the border, it is impossible to say that Daxing's iron cavalry will step into Dayan's territory.

The queen looked at the graceful and luxurious woman in the mirror, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.Even though she was dressed in plain onyx, it couldn't hide the aura of her mother's all-embracing world.

Today is the day when her emperor ascends the throne, as long as today is over, when the emperor promulgates the imperial edict to become the empress dowager, besides the emperor, she will be the most honorable person in the world.

Looking past a red coral carved Double Happiness swing in front of the dressing table, the Queen's face suddenly darkened.

Her eyes were dull, as if caught in some memories.I still remember that on the second day of the wedding, the man inserted Bu Yao into her ink-like hair.The two looked at each other with a shy smile on their faces.

Her eyes suddenly blurred, and suddenly, she covered the dowry with a snap, "Let's go! It's getting late."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's not good." Pang Chu scrambled into the Guangning Palace, and when he saw the Queen, he had no time to tidy up his appearance, so he cried and cried.

"Why are you making so much noise, you trespassed into Guangning Palace without notification, what crime should you have?"

The queen looked at Pang Chu in such a state of embarrassment, and for some reason, she had a bad premonition in her heart.But she is the queen of the mother's world, and she will be an incomparably noble empress dowager in the future, so naturally she can't lose her manners.

"Mother, the prince is gone! The servant can't find the prince." Pang Chu didn't care about the rules at the moment, the sky was about to fall.

"What? What do you mean you can't find the prince?" The queen was a little dazed, her mind blank.

"The servant finished dressing up for His Highness the Crown Prince just now, then left the hall and ordered the other servants to go to the imperial dining room to pass on the food. Unexpectedly, after leaving for such a short while, His Highness the Crown Prince disappeared. Your Majesty, please send someone to find His Highness the Crown Prince. !"

Pang Chu cried with snot and tears.If something goes wrong with the prince, the queen empress will definitely have his cramps skinned and make him suffer a terrible death.

"Absurd, in the palace, how could His Highness the Crown Prince disappear? Maybe he went to other places for something, so why be so flustered?"

The Queen flicked her robe sleeves, and although she was a little flustered, she still felt that it was unlikely that the Prince would disappear.

"Your Majesty, it's absolutely true! This servant has ordered people to search for half an hour in the palace. When this servant returned, he found it strange that there was no servant guarding the door. Later, he found out that His Highness the Crown Prince had disappeared. This servant hurriedly sent someone to I searched, but only found the missing servant, who was dead."

The queen panicked, she just felt a little dizzy.

"Your Majesty!" Aunt Lan beside her supported the Queen, her face was also full of anxiety.

The queen shook off Aunt Lan's hand, "How long have you been away?"

Pang Chu cried and wiped away his tears, "I only left for a quarter of an hour."

In just a quarter of an hour, the empress's phoenix eyes were full of sternness, and the emperor's son must still be in the palace.

"Come here, let Commander Zhou come to see me!"

Pang Chu wiped the tears from his face, and reacted when he heard the words, "Madam, isn't Commander Zhou still locked up in Dali Temple?"

"Yes! So who is in charge of the commander now?" The queen forced herself to calm down, and in a moment of urgency, she forgot that Zhou Yuan had conspired against him and was imprisoned in Dali Temple.

"I heard it's Commander Yang Chang, Master Yang!" Although Pang Chu was also panicked, he knew that he had to pull himself together at this moment.

The most urgent task is to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first.

"See the empress dowager for a lowly position!" A guard knelt outside the palace, this was the imperial guards in the palace.

"You take the handbook from the palace and ask Yang Tongzhi, the commander, to lead people to guard the palace. No one is allowed to enter the gate of the palace. Anyone who violates it will be punished without mercy!"

The queen's face was as heavy as water, this person could take the emperor away without anyone noticing, and it was easy to kill the emperor on the spot.

No matter what the other party's purpose is, these days the palace is strictly restricted, it is not easy for this person to get out of the palace.It's just that the palace is so big, if you hide someone in any corner, it will be even more difficult to find someone.

What's more, all the concubines live in the harem, so it is really difficult to search.

"In addition, I will check all the people who leave the palace within half an hour. No matter who they are, they must be investigated! Keep the gates of all the cities and prevent thieves from leaving the city."

The queen thought about it, and this matter would make a big fuss.If the common people know that the crown prince has been hijacked, it will definitely damage the majesty of the royal family.

"This matter is done in secret, don't spread it!"

De'an was poking around outside Guangning Palace, he had just come from Chengqian Palace.Just now, Pang Chu was in a hurry, lost his sense of proportion, and yelled that many people in the palace knew that the prince was missing.

De'an narrowed his eyes, he didn't know who did it, but he was one step faster than them!He had already sent the news to his master about this matter, so he was staying outside Guangning Palace at the moment to inquire about the news.

"Mr. Chen, who is this?" Hui Yun was another maid who was close to the empress. She just went to the imperial dining room to prepare the empress's meal, and she did not know about the disappearance of the prince.

De'an pulled Guo Huiyun to hide aside, "Don't you know? The prince is missing, and our family is going in to stand by!"

"What an idiot, with so many guards, they can't even protect His Highness the Crown Prince. Where are the hidden guards? Where are those guards? Are they all dead?"

The queen was furious, and after arranging everything in a mess, she could no longer control the anger in her heart, and swept away the jewelry on the dressing table.
