Try to rebel today

The palace banquet to welcome King Heng, the envoy of Great Zhou, ended in a hurry because of the sudden disturbance of the third prince, Yue Mingxiao.

Who has face, who loses face, who wants to see jokes, who regrets that there are not enough jokes...

Zhou Yao didn't bother to pay attention, anyway, he felt very happy.

Heng Wang was unhappy, and he was even happier.

At this time, he was walking in the harem, following in the footsteps of the second head of the Ling Tian Gang, the third prince Yue Mingxiao, towards the Mingyue Hall where Concubine Xiao lived.

It was about the biological mother, Yue Mingxiao looked very serious.

Feng Jiang also just took advantage of the opportunity of "serving" Zhou Zhizi, helped Zhou Yao pinch two small hands, and encouraged him with his eyes, "You did a great job just now", so he stopped messing around, returned his attention, and focused on what was in front of him. thing.

Interesting, two people are more interesting in private.

Now, something to do.

Noticing that there was no one around, Feng Jiang asked Yue Mingxiao: "What did the empress dowager Cai Shu mean just now?"

Zhou Yao was also about to ask this.

Concubine Shu's subsequent words directly put doubts on King Min's head, saying that Concubine Xiao's family had an enmity with King Min in the early years, and the feud was quite serious, and King Min swore not to step into the Yue Kingdom. If it is unavoidable and he must come, then when he comes, it will be the time when the sisters in Concubine Xiao's family will die.

Listen to this, isn't it an enmity with the Xiao family, or a grudge against the Xiao family sisters?

Yue Mingxiao sighed.

"My mother is the direct branch of the family... My maternal grandfather is the eldest son of the Xiao family. He has outstanding ability. Excellent, he has never been a child in his life, even if his grandmother gave birth to three daughters and had nothing else to do, he did not dislike her until his death."

"My mother is the second, the eldest sister is the empress who has passed away, you all know, the third sister... now there is no news."

The words were very calm and not long, but from Yue Mingxiao's expression and tone, Zhou Yao smelled something unusual.

Xiao's family is powerful, Yue Ming Xiao's grandfather is the eldest son, he should inherit the family business, but he has no son, so it is a flaw.

In his early years, he might be able to cover the sky with his own ability and take good care of his wife and daughter. Of course, he was still young and had the possibility of having a son. The clan did not put too much pressure on him.Later, he might not be able to do it. He couldn't handle all kinds of problems in the upper and lower courts, inside and outside the clan.

After the eldest daughter married Emperor Yue, the second daughter also entered the palace, and there was no news about the third daughter...

After he died, the clansmen elected another patriarch to find another way out.

Empress Xiao is dead, has no descendants, and is worthless. The third sister has been missing for a long time and is useless, let alone looking for it. Concubine Xiao herself, although she has a son of the third prince, but the third prince cannot support the wall. If you don't want to, or if you can't compete with Concubine Shu, how can the members of the Xiao clan dare to get close?

Naturally, he stayed far away, for fear of bringing disaster to himself because of his sensitive identity, so he avoided it.

So Concubine Xiao didn't have the slightest help outside the palace, so Yue Mingxiao couldn't get along in the palace, so he could only run away to avoid disaster, go to an unfamiliar place, and join the Lingtian Gang.

It's not that Ling Tian's gang is not good, Yue Mingxiao is like a fish in water, very happy, but Yue Guo, his relatives brought him only a lot of disappointment.

Zhou Yao thought about King Min's age, and boldly guessed: "The enmity between King Min and the Xiao sisters is related to marriage?"

Yue Mingxiao nodded: "My missing third aunt was once engaged to King Min."

Zhou Yao's eyes flickered slightly, which made sense...

"If the marriage is not settled, it becomes enmity. When mentioning enmity, you only talk about the Xiao sisters, not the Xiao family. At that time, your mother and the three of you handled it by yourself?"

Zhou Yao's words were on point.

Yue Mingxiao sighed again.

This is not a good thing, and it has been a long time in the past, there is no need to shout it out to let everyone know, but now...

Yue Ming Xiao said deeply: "The marriage between the two parties, why and how they were settled, and whether there are any twists and turns in the middle, I don't know, I only know that King Min was not King Min at that time, but the five sons of the old King Min. The youngest one among them, he doesn't have much influence, but his temper is not small."

"My third aunt and King Min didn't seem to have any disagreements at first, but they ran into each other on the street, and for some reason, they suddenly quarreled. After returning, my third aunt refused to marry anything, and King Min didn't want to marry anything—things It got worse and worse. My third aunt found a Wenxiu scholar, who seemed to be from the tent of some bandit, and said she wanted to marry. The King of Min felt ashamed, so he dug around and found a top brothel with a very bad background. to marry—"

Feng Jiang felt very fresh: "The two sides are on the same line?"

Yue Mingxiao nodded with difficulty: "Yes."

Zhou Yaoruo realized something: "Your family intervened and failed to solve the problem. Both sides insisted on each other, and neither of them would take a step back. Afterwards, your mother and sisters will bear the consequences by themselves and take this matter over, saying that no matter what the result is, we will be together." The family has nothing to do with—”

Yue Mingxiao closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "But they couldn't solve it."

So there is hatred.

Feng Jiang thought of another thing, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.

Regent Li Mi turned around and pulled King Min to the direction of Tianjilou...

Is there any connection between these two?

The Tianji Building is the most unneglectable and extraordinary existence in the world.

But right now is not the time to discuss the Tianji Building, because the Mingyue Palace has arrived.

Yue Mingxiao was the first to push the door and go in. Zhou Yao and Feng Jiang followed behind him, observing the surrounding environment.

The little emperor was still young, and he didn't marry or accept concubines. The first emperor didn't have many concubines, and those who nodded a little were trampled to death by the concubine Shu, so the harem was very spacious.Concubine Shutai showed her magnanimity, and she did not treat Concubine Xiao badly in this regard. Although the Mingyue Palace is a little bit out of the way, but the place is big enough, and even has a small garden.

The palace was cleaned every day. After many days, there were basically no valuable things in the corridors and flower paths.

Zhou Yao and Feng Jiang went around outside, but found nothing.

Turning to the hall, it is also clean and fresh, without any clutter, without any dirt, and there are no traces of it.

The palace people were waved back by the third prince, and the surroundings were silent.

Zhou Yao thought for a while and asked Yue Mingxiao: "Is your mother a very organized and clean person?"

"Yes, everything around her likes to be organized clearly." Yue Mingxiao stared at the things in front of the case, and frowned: "But it's not right..."

"My mother likes to write and draw. The brush washer and inkstone are placed on the right hand side, but it is not so straight on the right hand side. It should be moved up five inches." I didn't draw many plum branches. "My mother likes to draw plums. Every time she starts to paint, she must first draw the trunk, and never draw the flower branches and petals first."

Taking a closer look, Yue Mingxiao found more things wrong: "This bead curtain is two points lower, my mother likes to be refreshing, and doesn't like the feeling of the bead curtain drooping when walking through the door; and this screen, my mother hates it the most." What I like is this rich peony. It's not that it's bad, but that it's too red, and it's shining golden. Her eyesight has been bad for the past two years, and she doesn't like things that are too bright and too dazzling..."

Thinking carefully, Yue Mingxiao looked at Zhou Yao with bright eyes: "You are right, we should come to the palace immediately, there is a clue here!"

Zhou Yao thought to himself, in fact, he didn't remind, and when Yue Mingxiao came over by himself, these things would be found out.

But Yue Mingxiao is emotionally unstable now——

He smiled reassuringly: "So I said, don't be anxious, if you are anxious, you won't be able to see what you should see."

Yue Mingxiao nodded, and looked down at the things in the hall again, his long eyes were shrewd: "I'll go to other places to see!"

In the end, I ran around and came back, frowning even tighter. Except for these things, there is no abnormality in other places, which is very normal...

Feng Jiang flipped through the small garden outside, but gained a little: "It has been turned over, and it has also been restored."

The order is obvious, it is turned first and then restored.

Yue Mingxiao clenched his fists, his slender eyebrows were full of anger: "This is because I didn't want me to know too much, so I deliberately restored the scene!"

Besides that Concubine Shu, who else!

Zhou Yao noticed a little detail.

He looked at the bead curtains and peony screens shining in the sun, and raised his long eyebrows slightly: "Xiao Ming, have you noticed that the few abnormalities you just mentioned are because others don't pay much attention to them, only your mother, A habit that you, or your closest confidantes only know about?"

Yue Ming Xiao was startled: "...Yes."

"Since others have the intention to restore it, then what should be restored should be what they saw at that time—"

That is to say, before searching for things, this is how the inkstone washer, easel, bead curtain and screen were placed.

After rummaging, in order not to leave any clues, someone restored the things one by one, and there was nothing wrong with them.

This shows what?

Feng Jiang narrowed his eyes: "It means that the disappearance of Concubine Xiao happened very quietly, there was no fight, no kidnapping, and no life-threatening."

"Also—" Zhou Yao smiled, "These arrangements may have been deliberately made by Concubine Xiao to remind her son."

Yue Mingxiao suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Remind me?"

"I don't know anything else, but in this imperial palace, under the persecution of Empress Dowager Shu, who has no power, power, or favour, and is under heavy pressure, I will take good care of you to grow up, send you out of the palace, and still protect myself—" —”

Zhou Yao smiled: "Your mother must be very smart."

And smart people will not let themselves encounter crises casually.Ordinary small things can be resolved by finding a way. If they cannot be resolved, they must be sudden and extremely dangerous.And there are omens for this kind of thing to happen, and it is impossible for a smart person to not notice it at all, and foolishly wait for the big knife to come.

"I guess she probably encountered some sudden accident and wanted to tell you, but there was no time, she only had time to—"

Zhou Yao took a look inside the palace, and Feng Jiang added: "I only came here to do a little trick to remind you, I don't even have time to go to the nearby palace."

Yue Mingxiao was quickly explained, because apart from this place, there was nothing strange to him.

Mother and son are connected, these are probably done by the mother and concubine, and want to remind him.

"There are no traces of fighting or struggling anywhere, which means that your mother was not injured when she left and is safe..."

Zhou Yao said a few more points, and the more he said, the more he felt that his thinking was in the right direction: "But you still need to ask the person who sent you the letter to see if your mother didn't do anything special before she left, so as to be sure."

Yue Mingxiao was stunned, as if he remembered something, with tears in his eyes: "There's no need to ask. I should have guessed it a long time ago..."

When he calmed down, Zhou Yao and Feng Jiang knew what was going on.

In order to protect the security of the insiders, Yue Mingxiao and this person don't have much contact with each other, and usually report to each other that they are safe.But in the secret letter received last month, the insider said that Concubine Xiao was very concerned about the third prince, and would often look at the clothes worn by the third prince, or the things she bought, and sometimes sigh softly, saying, "You have to take good care of yourself." Take care of yourself', seems to be very attached to imagination.

In the past, she would only be like this when Yue Mingxiao quietly went back to see her and then left.

Zhou Yao raised his eyes slightly, and the bottom of his eyes showed wisdom: "So, this is it."

Concubine Xiao should have sensed the crisis long ago and made preparations to deal with it.

It's just that there was an accident in the middle, and the accident happened too fast, she had no choice but to leave in a hurry, and only had time to do these before leaving, leaving a little reminder of the direction.

Yue Mingxiao covered his face with his big hands: "I thought it was because my concubine missed me so much. Even if I didn't receive the secret letter of her disappearance, I decided to come back and take a look..."

Zhou Yao patted Yue Mingxiao on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, your mother has great wisdom, and she may not be able to handle herself in a little accident, but this disappearance should be just a disappearance, and her life will not be in danger."

Yue Mingxiao nodded and understood one thing: "So what happened to my mother this time... shouldn't have anything to do with Concubine Shu, did she do it?"

Zhou Yao shook his head.

Feng Jiang patted Yue Mingxiao on the head: "I thought you were smart before, why are you getting more and more stupid now? Your mother was not tied up by Concubine Shuhuang, it's true, but the matter may not have nothing to do with her."

Thinking about it, I know that Concubine Xiao lives in the palace and doesn't go out. When she encounters her back and forth, she only hears about the affairs of the palace. What other major events can she have anything to do with it?The most influential ones are still relevant.

Maybe it's what happened to Concubine Shu, or what the Prince Regent did, and she accidentally found out about it.

Some things can not be said, can not know, know is wrong.

So she was out of luck.

As for the King of Fujian and the Tianji Building, it is very likely that Concubine Shu Huang and Dowager took the blame.

or--

Concubine Shu and the Prince Regent planned and deliberately pulled them over to take the blame.

Zhou Yao nodded, thinking the same as Feng Jiang.

Yue Mingxiao thought for a while, and said: "Today, I'll check here first to see if there are any new clues. If there is no progress, we will go and find King Min and Tianji Building."

"As it should be."

But in the palace, it is not convenient for Zhou Yao and Feng Jiang.

Zhou Yao asked him, "Can you do it yourself?"

The corners of Yue Mingxiao's lips rose, and he smiled domineeringly and sharply: "Yaoyao, this is in the Yue Palace."

His territory since he was a child!

Zhou Yao stopped talking and gave an encouraging smile: "Then you go on."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Feng Jiang and turned to leave.

Feng Jiang almost couldn't hold back his anger, and beat Yue Mingxiao fatly.

How to speak!

Yaoyao is your name!

Smooth out your tongue before speaking!

Don't think that your baby is unlucky now. If your mother is gone, I will spoil you and dare not beat you!

Yue Mingxiao...

I don't know if the second master saw Feng Jiang's expression, he turned around with a serious face and didn't enter the hall, and he didn't know where he went.
