Chapter 67
"Yes, Your Highness." Gong Xiangru received the kindness from his little nephew, performed the ceremony of a monarch and minister, stood aside, and waited quietly for Li Dongyu to go first.

The little prince left, Gong Xiangru walked over, greeted other ministers, and came to the gate of the palace.Li Shunde was guarding the door, and when he saw him, he looked like weeping with joy, and said: "Master Gong, you are here. Your Majesty is not in a good mood."

"What's the matter?" Gong Xiangru asked after hearing this, "Is the Holy Majesty unhappy with the dragon's body? Has the imperial physician come to see it?"

"Hey!" Li Shunde sighed deeply, seeing no one around, approached him in a low voice and explained, "It's gone."

gone?Gong Xiangru instantly understood that it was about Hua Xiyan's mother and son escaping from the palace.Unable to help, the corners of Sven's lips twitched.This mother and son are so wonderful that they managed to escape from the heavily guarded palace.How did you escape?When did you escape?
"Don't mention it." Li Shunde said, "My lord, you know. Our emperor is a cold-faced and kind-hearted person. He asked their mother and son to clean the Yuexi Pavilion last night. They starved their mother and son all night, just to show off." Huangwei, so as not to be unfair. Our prince was also punished by the emperor who was hungry. However, the emperor had already ordered the imperial dining room to make good pastries overnight. Knowing that Mr. Mumu has a big stomach, let the old servant I brought two big boxes of breakfast and went to feed their mother and son. As a result, the old slave brought breakfast and rushed to Yuexi Pavilion early in the morning to have a look, but there was no one to be found inside or outside."

Therefore, it's no wonder that Yun Chenjing, the brother-in-law, always likes to say that Li Zimo has done it to himself.

At this moment, Li Zimo was really angry. He didn't know whether to be angry with the mother and child or himself.

And no matter what, the Holy Majesty is in a bad mood, and those who are not working hard at the bottom must be able to escape.

Li Shunde wiped the corners of his eyes: "The gatekeeper, the guards who were let go, were all sent to clean the latrine. As for the man guarding the imperial chariot, he also couldn't escape the life of sweeping the latrine. As for the old slave, it was the same. I was almost sent to clean the toilet somewhere."

Gong Xiangru never dared to laugh at those cleaning the toilets, because Li Zimo must be in a bad mood, and the mother and son slipped away from his excellent palace guards. The mother and son's poisonous tongue will inevitably choke him with this matter in the future.

Inside, the secret guard who found the whereabouts of Hua Xiyan's mother and son in the capital was talking about the situation in front of Li Zimo.When the other party mentioned that Xiao Mumu was almost whipped, Li Zimo Yun raised his eyebrows: "Who?"

The hidden guard hesitated for a while, and then confessed the name of Miss Sun Jia's second.

"Why did I never know that under my nose, there is such a savage and ignorant young lady?" There was a trace of coldness in Li Zimo's faint voice.

The secret guard was jealous of someone, so he didn't dare to say it clearly, so he turned a corner and said: "I was ready to jump down to save people. But when I saw that the young master was safe, and General Sun was watching from the opposite side. The general later stopped Miss Sun Er, so the minister dared not show her face."

"You said that Sun Xuanxi saw it there."

"Yes, my lord."

Long Yan seemed to have drawn a trace of ink, and said: "Okay, you continue to follow them."

The shadow guard disappeared in the palace.

Going around the screen and seeing Gong Xiangru waiting inside, Li Zimo waved Li Shunde to close the door.

"My minister, see the saint."

"Is there any problem with Gongqing interrogating the two prisoners?"

"Report to Your Majesty." Gong Xiangru lowered his voice and carefully explained Hua Shu'er's confession.

Li Zimo was taken aback when he heard the origin of the ugly scar on her face.Family fighting in a wealthy family is definitely an indispensable thing, but the stepmother Liu of the Hua family has indeed gone too far.How important a woman's appearance is to a woman, it is almost related to her lifelong happiness.No wonder, the Hua family had long regarded the disfigured Hua Xiyan as an abandoned child.

She should have been in pain when she was burned, right?The sudden daze in front of his eyes reminded him of another woman who died.She vomited blood in front of him, and his mouth was full of blood, which made him unable to believe that she died of a sudden illness.

His fist was clenched for five minutes unconsciously.

Gong Xiangru saw that his long face was uncertain, and he frowned and dared not make a sound.

After a while, his face regained his calm, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he said to Gong Xiangru: "Tonight I will go out of the palace secretly, and Gong Qing will accompany you."

Gong Xiangru raised his eyes, and when he received the meaning in his eyes, he put his head down: "I obey the order."

"Gongqing is here to accompany me for lunch. By the way, Xiaoyu misses you. I asked the prince to come over." Li Zimo changed his tone when he said this, "Sect Master Yun has returned to the Yun clan."

"I have heard about it."

"He must have annoyed me. Back then, he said that he insisted on taking Xiaoyu to the Yun Clan to keep healthy, so as not to be abused by me here."

Knowing that he was speaking in anger, Gong Xiangru smiled and said nothing.

"Forget it, where is he going, can I control him?" Xu Chang sighed, a little helpless, "It's just that the queen mother arranged a blind date banquet for him, and he didn't say hello to anyone in advance when he left. .”

When Gong Xiangru heard this, he felt a little intimidated.

Glancing at him, Li Zimo sighed again: "I know you don't like it, so I will push the queen mother for you."

"I kneel down and thank the Holy Spirit."

Li Zimo watched him kneel down to thank him, a light flashed across his face.

In the afternoon, seeing that Lu Cui had improved a lot, Hua Xiyan decided to take everyone out of the capital in two nights.No cheap carriage was found, so we had to walk on foot.Go outside the city and think again.Taking advantage of the crowds in the evening, I got into the traffic and went out of the city gate.However, he was not in a hurry to rush to Baichang.Because the night road is difficult to walk, besides attracting attention, Lu Cui's injury has not healed, and after walking for a while, blood is mixed with sweat, stained with clothes and all over her back.

Seeing a ruined temple by the roadside, Hua Xiyan helped Lucui into the ruined temple, and asked her son to help him pile up some haystacks, let Lucui lie down, and changed her medicine once.Touching the forehead of the injured, it felt like it was burning again.

As night fell, Hua Xiyan shared some steamed stuffed buns with her son and little pig, and saved some for herself, and only ate one.Lu Cui couldn't eat anything, so she could only feed her some boiled water.Although it was a summer night, this place turned out to be hot during the day and cool at night.Fearing that Lu Cui would suffer from the wind and cold again, and his condition would get out of hand, he had to light a small bonfire to keep warm at the risk.

The two snacks, after a long journey, were full and sleepy, nestled in the haystack, hugged each other, and snored after a while.

Hua Xiyan gently covered her son with a coat, and wiped off the bun crumbs from the corners of her son's mouth with a handkerchief.For so long in ancient times, it was the first time that her son had suffered with her.I think back in the countryside, although the days were hard, but, unlike now, I was in a panic and hurried to run for my life.

Picking up a small wooden stick and carrying the wood in the campfire, I couldn't sleep.Thinking of the story told by the storyteller in the teahouse today, for a moment, I don't know how to describe the emperor who dotes on the queen.Thinking back to history, it was common for men to be respected by the Son of Heaven and the Three Seventh and Sixth Courts in ancient times. It is quite impressive that this man can dote on only one woman.
