Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

The sun was about to set, and the sunset glow burned half the sky red.The wet clothes were also dry, and the two dressed neatly, packed their things, and set off on their way home by bicycle.Xiao Ran was so happy in his heart that he couldn't help but sing loudly: "The sunset is red and the mountains are flying, the soldiers shoot the target and return to the camp..."

♂ Volume 8 in the harem ♀

→Chapter 105 - Ning Wei is gone←

After entering the city, Xiao Ran and Yan Lin felt that the atmosphere in the city today was not right.The punctuality is two or three times more than that, and the gun is loaded with live ammunition, and it looks like an enemy.It's okay to go in from the outside, but people in the city are not allowed to go out if they want to, no matter men, women or children, they are all stopped.The people who were in a hurry to get out of the city naturally complained, and a few who came forward to argue were all shot back by the guards with guns.

Xiao Ran was taken aback, and thought that it was only a day's absence, something must have happened!Ye Helaner wants to seize power?Yi has been watching closely, so there shouldn't be any fuss for a while!Confused in her heart, Yan Lin pulled his sleeve, her pretty face turned white with nervousness, and said in a low voice: "It's over, did I sneak out of the palace and someone found out?"

She was really scared at this moment, and her arms trembled slightly.Xiao Ran held her hand and comforted her: "No. The Empress Dowager Ci'an knew about your departure from the palace, and she is not afraid even if someone finds out."

Having said that, I still don't feel confident.He stopped his bicycle, bowed his hands to a guard, and said: "This military lord, if you dare to ask if Lord Shi of the city gate is here, please introduce him."

According to the rules, the person in charge of guarding the city gate is the history of the city gate of the seventh rank, or the Dian Yi of the seventh rank.This position is not considered high, so Xiao Ran didn't show his badge.Normally, those guards would not dare to neglect him when they saw his expensive clothes and good appearance, but today they met a master who ate uncooked rice, raised his hand and pushed Li Ran back, cursing and shouting: "Go to hell! I didn't see that you are busy. No matter how much you do, be careful that I will throw you into the prison."

Although Yan Lin had a good temper, when she saw that Xiao Ran was pushed and nearly fell, she was furious, without thinking, she slapped her.The guard had seen her.Seeing this flowery and jade-like appearance, he took a second look, but no matter what, he didn't expect this delicate beauty, so he turned around to speak with a big mouth.Caught off guard, he was slapped with a golden light, and was stunned for a moment.The other guards immediately clamored, yelling and drawing out their waist knives, and frantically wielding their new-style rifles.Hula pulled the bolt of the gun, and a swarm of bees surrounded him.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Ran hurriedly showed his waist card and shouted: "The deputy chief executive is here, who dares to come here?"

There is only one such young chief executive in the entire palace, and everyone in the capital knows that he is the red-capped eunuch in front of the empress dowager, who dare not be afraid?All the guards were stunned, and a bold one walked over tremblingly, only glanced at the badge.Then he felt his legs go weak, and he fell to his knees with a thump.The guard who pushed the person earlier yelled, fell to the ground, and couldn't even stand up.Xiao Ran ignored him, and said angrily, "I told you to be in charge!"

Someone flew in to report a long time ago, not for a while.A seventh-rank official with a plain golden crown lifted his robe, ran over quickly, bowed on the head, and said: "Damn the lowly position, the discipline is not strict, let these bastards attack the father-in-law! I hope the father-in-law A lot of..."

Xiao Ran didn't have time to chat with him, so he said with a sullen face: "Stop talking nonsense, let me ask you. What happened in the city today?"

"Ah, Eunuch doesn't know?" The gatekeeper asked in amazement, suddenly looked left and right, leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Don't dare to lie to Eunuch: the princess is gone. The superior ordered that the humble officer strictly investigate. Now The pro-army has been dispatched, and they are searching all over the city..."

"What did you say?!" Xiao Ran changed color suddenly, and lifted the collar of the city gate history, "You, tell me again, which princess is missing?"

"It's the eighth princess..."

"what!"

Xiao Ran only felt that something had hit his chest heavily, and he staggered back three or four steps, his face completely pale.Yan Lin was also stunned, and it took a while to recover, and she said anxiously: "Nonsense! You are so brave!"

The history of the city gate didn't recognize her, he only said that she was a court lady, spread her hands, and said with a bitter face: "How many brains does the lower official have, dare to joke about such things? If you don't believe me, you can find out when you enter the city. Guess Right now, the Imperial Forest Army is searching from house to house."

At this moment, Xiao Ran's ears were buzzing, he couldn't hear anything, he turned around a few times in a daze, and murmured: "Wei'er, Wei'er..." Princess Ning Wei's name is only used in the palace. Yelling, the guards didn't know who he was talking about.Yan Lin was so frightened that her soul flew away, she hurriedly pulled him aside, and said in a low voice: "This is not a place to talk, go back to the palace and ask for clarification!"

"Go back to the palace... ah, yes, go back to the palace!" Xiao Ran woke up suddenly, and hurriedly pushed the bicycle, not guarding against a mistake, and fell down.The robe sneered and scratched, and couldn't care less, picked up the bicycle, and Yan Lin and the two rode towards the palace like flying.

The city was really noisy, teams of officers and soldiers were going back and forth to search, and the shops and houses were not spared.

Flying dog jumps.Seeing that Yanlin was young and beautiful, she shouted and wanted to go forward to search, Chi, held up her waist card and shouted all the way: "Whoever dares to stop, I will kill his whole family!"

The shout alarmed a group of officers and soldiers, and the leader galloped over on a fast horse, shouting, "Ah, it's you, my lord!" It turned out that it happened that this person was Cheng Tong.Immediately lead the team personally, clear the way all the way, and escort Xiao Ran and the two back to the Forbidden City.

As soon as you enter the Shenwu Gate, you will see a lot of officials milling around there.Seeing Xiao Ran, they shouted in unison: "Okay, Eunuch Xiao is back!" A person hurried over, grabbed Xiao Ran and said: "My brother, help me, the Queen Mother is going to chop off my head, at least give me a hand!"

After such a quick run, Xiao Ran became sober up a lot, and he took a closer look, he was tall and tall, with a shaggy beard, but he was Mei Liangfu, the first-class guard in front of the imperial court.Guessing that this fellow was quite frightened, his eyeballs were red with anxiety.The remaining few were Jing Shou, Rong Lu, Prince Su Huafeng, Prince Chunjun Yilan, etc. They hurriedly surrounded them. First they saw Xiao Ran, and then they saw Yan Lin. They were all surprised and glanced at each other. , Hesitantly knelt down and said: "I have seen Concubine Li Tai."

"No, you're all flat!" Yan Lin waved her hand and said, "Jing Shou, tell me what's going on? The princess has golden branches and jade leaves, and the Forbidden City is heavily guarded. How can I get out? Could it be that she ran to some palace?" Didn't find it there?"

Jing Shou is now leading the errand of the Rifle Battalion. Although the affairs in the palace are under his name, he shouldn't be in charge of them, but he is born with a stupid mouth, so he can't speak.Yi Yan had a good relationship with him, and hurriedly explained from the side: "Returning to the words of Concubine Li: the princess was reported missing in the morning, and we searched all over the palace long ago, but we couldn't even find a shadow. The Empress Dowager asked for the edict and searched the whole city. Concubine Li, don't worry, judging by the time, the princess is probably still in the city right now."

Xiao Ran said: "The palace is heavily guarded, how did the princess get out? Are those guards blind? Who is on duty today?"

He tried his best to suppress the anger in his stomach, but his face was still ashen.Yi Yan and the others had never seen him like this, the veins on his forehead protruded one by one, as if he was about to eat people, his originally handsome face was distorted, but it was indescribably scary.Everyone knew that this Eunuch Xiao couldn't afford to offend, so who would dare to talk anymore at this moment.Seeing that everyone was silent, Xiao Ran swept his knife-like eyes one by one, and finally fell on Rong Lu's face, and said word by word: "Master Rong, don't you know?"

Rong Lu is the commander of the pro-army guards, and he was promoted to the Minister of Internal Affairs by Ci Xi at the end of last month. It is hard to escape the blame.So when I heard this, my heart skipped a beat.At any rate, Cixi was there to back her up, and she bravely said, "I really don't know about this. The guards on duty have already been arrested, and I interrogated Jing Shou and Lao Mei personally, but there was no result. We are all wondering too, why did the princess disappear all of a sudden in the Forbidden Palace?"

This guy has always been cunning, and with a few words, he has completely shoved his responsibility away.Xiao Ran was already full of anger, hearing what he said, how could he hold back?He punched Rong Lu right in the eye socket, and there were gold stars in his eyes. With an ouch, he fell to the ground covering his face.Jing Shou and the others were taken aback, and quickly hugged Xiao Ran, Rong Lu yelled: "Reverse, rebellious! How dare you beat the imperial court official..."

"Fuck you!" Xiao Ran kicked him somersault.Jing Shou's face turned pale with fright, and he stammered: "Brother! Give brother a thin noodle, this is Shenwumen, if you start a fight, you will be killed!"

Ronglu is going smoothly these days, how many times have he suffered such a big loss, he is ashamed and anxious, covering his face and shouting: "Where is the guard? Where is the guard?" Mei Liangfu also pointed to hold Xiao Ran's dog Thick legs, how could he care about him, hurriedly hid aside.There were quite a few guards of Lan Ling standing under the door, thinking that a grand concubine and two princes would not dare to take care of them there, and you still call the guards, don't you let us go to trouble and seek death?Those who were standing inside the door all rushed out of the door.Rong Lu couldn't bear this uselessness, he stamped his feet and beat his chest, and cried out in a crying voice: "There is no law! There is no law!"

Hua Feng waved to Rong Lu angrily, and said, "Stay still, wait for the sedan chair?" Rong Lu then got up, covered his face with one hand, and jumped on his feet: "Xiao Ran, everyone is watching this matter today. Don't run away with the seeds, I will never end with you!"

"How dare you fucking say that!" Xiao Ran pumped up two fists and was about to step forward again, and everyone hugged tightly.Rong Lu staggered away, but Hua Feng was old enough, and said: "Brother Xiao, now is not the time to make trouble, how do you find the princess, that's what matters."

No one could explain exactly why Princess Wei disappeared.Yanlin: "Don't worry, haven't you already searched the whole city? The city of Beijing is so big, and there are always tens of thousands of imperial guards. They will definitely find them."

After hearing this, Xiao Ran's heart became heavier.If you count the time in Chengde, Princess Ning Wei has disappeared twice.But that time because of Huiluan's incident, the atmosphere in the palace was tense and people were panicking, so they didn't dare to make such a big move like this time.In fact, the so-called city-wide search was really a bad idea as a last resort.After all, in this way, things will be aroused.What Xiao Ran was worried about was not that the imperial court would lose face, but that he was afraid that people with ulterior motives would pay attention to him, and Ning Wei's situation would be even more dangerous.But if you don't do this, you really can't think of any other way.

Another point is that Princess Ning Wei's current mental state is getting worse day by day.According to Yanlin, now she not only has a bad memory, but also understands for a while and is confused for a while.Sometimes I am so stupid that I don't even recognize the people around me.However, she has that alluring appearance. It is conceivable what kind of accidents will happen to such a young, beautiful and confused girl who goes outside alone.

Whether she is still in Beijing now can only be guessed by everyone.Hua Feng patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder, and said: "I'll call you brother, and don't dislike what you say when you rely on the old to sell the old. Things have reached this point, not only you are anxious, but everyone is also angry. But what's the use of getting angry? There is a saying that people are not as good as heaven. All I can do is ask God to bless us and let us find the princess as soon as possible, so that everyone will live in peace."

Prince Su Huafeng is the heir to Taizong's eldest son Haoge, and he is in charge of Youzong, which is very important in terms of status.Besides, what he said was indeed true, Xiao Ran could only nod silently.Hua Feng said again: "At noon, the empress dowagers of the two palaces were already furious because of the princess. The guards guarding the gate and many people from the House of Internal Affairs were arrested. We people gathered here just to discuss this matter. Brother Xiao, I don’t need to say more about your weight in front of the queen mother, and now you are the only one who speaks the truth. At least I advise the masters to calm down, and the people below Talents can feel at ease to do business, right?"

Mei Liangfu said with a mournful face: "Prince Su is right. You see, my brother, the queen mother has just issued an order. If I don't see the eighth princess tonight, I will chop off my brother's head! Good brother, read the emperor Daxing For the sake of this, I beg you to be accommodating no matter what!"

Xiao Ran didn't have a bad impression of Mei Liangfu.Sighing, he said: "Xiao Ran is nothing more than a slave, and the lord has caught his eye. Alright. I will try my best to persuade the queen mother, but I have to trouble the adults to pay more attention to the matter of the princess."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Mei Liangfu was even more overjoyed. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry. It's on Lao Mei. Even if the city of Beijing is dug three feet, the princess will definitely be found!"

Hua Feng took Yi Yan, Mei Liangfu and others to leave, but Jing Shou was a little worried, and secretly pulled Xiao Ran aside, saying: "That guy Rong Lu is a stinky guy, and he has the master backing him , I probably want to hold grudges against you. But you don’t have to be afraid of him, as far as the top is concerned. Brother, I am on the same level as him now. If he makes trouble for you later, tell me, I will take the fucking rifle battalion to level up killed him!"

Rong Lu relied on Cixi as his big backer, and recently he has been acting a little domineering.I guess this guy doesn't know yet.Now even Cixi herself has to pretend to be that delicate Lan'er in front of Xiao Ran, let alone a mere Minister of Internal Affairs?Xiao Ran sneered, and said, "Okay, trouble me, I'm really looking forward to it!"

Jing Shou comforted him a few words and left.Yan Lin blamed herself and said, "It's all my fault. If I didn't go to Naoshizi's birthday and stay with Ningwei Palace, these things wouldn't happen. Little Sanzi, don't you think anything will happen to her Bar?"

When she said this, Xiao Ran felt even more uncomfortable.All that dangled in front of my eyes were Ning Wei's exquisitely beautiful appearance, and her blank and desperate eyes.For a moment, my heart felt like a knife was being twisted, and my mind was in chaos, and I just looked forward in a daze.Yanlin said, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Ran said blankly: "I...I don't know."

Yanlin had already seen that the relationship between him and Ning Wei was unusual. Seeing his distraught appearance, she couldn't bear it even more, and said: "The Queen Mother is probably in a hurry at the moment, you should go to her place and have a look. I'll go to Shoukang Gong, see if I can help you."

"Shoukang Palace!" Xiao Ran suddenly woke up, and hurriedly said: "Quick, I'll go with you! Ning Wei's personal maid is called Xiangmeidi, hurry up and ask her!"

The two dared to go to Shoukang Palace quickly, and the sky was gradually getting dark.Shoukang Palace, which had always been quiet in the past, now faintly heard bursts of crying, and it seemed that someone was still yelling.Xiao Ran took two quick steps, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a savage girl crying and cursing inside: "My sister is lost, what are you still doing here? Useless things, don't hesitate to find them! Find them for me as well." Once again, give me a careful search in each palace. If you can't find my sister, you

Don't even think about living!Woooo..."

Needless to say, this little girl is Ning Xin.It turned out that Ning Wei was missing, and Baolu got the news, so he hurriedly went to Yuqian'er Alley to look for Xiao Ran, but was bumped into by Ning Xin.After all, she and Ning Wei are sisters, ordinary golden branches and jade leaves, even if Baolu had the courage to hide this kind of thing from her, he had to tell the truth.

Emperor Daoguang had ten daughters in total, except for Ning Wei and Ning Xin, all of them were short-lived.Five of them died before reaching adulthood, and among the other three, the longest-lived one was Daoguang's fourth daughter, Princess Shou'an Gulun, who died in March of the tenth year of Xianfeng at the age of 35.Therefore, there are ten sisters, and now there are only eight sisters and nine sisters left.Although Ning Xin was a child with a heartless temper, she had a strong affection for her only sister. When she heard that her sister was missing, she fainted from crying.After being rescued anyway, and crying all the way back to the palace, the maids and eunuchs of the Shoukang Palace suffered disaster, and almost turned the world upside down for this girl.He was jumping and making trouble there, but when he turned around, he saw Xiao Ran, and it was like adding fuel to the fire, and Fei Ye seemed to pounce on him, kicking and beating, crying, "Dead eunuch, stinking eunuch! Give me back!" Sister, return my sister!..."←

Xiao Ran didn't try to fight, he just stood there dumbfounded, letting her fists rain down on her body.Yan Lin rushed forward, holding Ning Xin tightly in her arms, not daring to let go, while drinking all the servants away.Ning Xin was also tired from the fuss, threw herself into Yan Lin's arms, and cried loudly: "My sister is lost, my sister is lost!"

Its voice is so sad that I can't bear to listen to it.Yanlin couldn't help crying, and touched her hair and said, "Good Xiner, don't cry. Your sister is such a big person, how can you lose it? You will definitely find it. Don't blame the third son anymore. It hurts him a lot when something like this happens.”

It's okay to say anything else, as soon as Ning Xin heard the words "Little Sanzi", Ning Xin couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, she raised two small fists and started to fight again, while shouting: "It's all him, it's all this dead man!" Killed by the eunuch! Hooligan, pervert, my sister doesn’t like you, so you torture her in every possible way! Do you want to force her to death before you’re willing? I’ll fight with you!…”

A few words pierced Xiao Ran's heart like a sharp arrow, and he burst into tears in a daze.Yan Lin was stunned, and it took her a while to recover, and hurriedly covered Ning Xin's mouth.In this palace, if these few words are heard by good people, even the Heavenly King and I will not be able to keep Xiao Ran's head.I hurriedly looked around, but fortunately the servants all retreated, but whether anyone heard it or not, that is also a matter of uncertainty.

Ning Xin still refused to give up, screaming, struggling desperately, picked up a bench and was about to throw it over.Yan Lin was not as strong as hers, and seeing that she couldn't stop her, she was furious and shouted: "Enough!" She waved her hand and slapped Ning Xin hard on the face, and with a slap, Ning Xin fell to the ground.
