"Kidnapped?" Jiang Ling propped up her body and poked her head out, feeling incredible, that was the emperor, no matter how low-key he was on the way to the other palace, there would still be someone escorting him, how could he be robbed so easily?
Xiao Chengyun patted his head: "Go and see alone."
The robbery of the emperor was a major event, and the ministers who got the news came to the East Palace one after another to discuss the follow-up matters.
"Your Majesty is seriously ill and cannot stand the bumps. We must rescue him as soon as possible."
This view is unanimously endorsed.
"However, we still don't know who did this, and what is their purpose of robbing His Majesty. If they send troops rashly, they may cause dissatisfaction among the thieves, which will be detrimental to His Majesty."
Emperor Chongming is in the hands of those people, and this alone is enough to make the imperial court cast a taboo.
"Go find someone first," Xiao Shengyun knocked on the table, "If those people arrest Father, they have a purpose, and they will always negotiate with us."
"Your Highness, could this matter be caused by the Ukiyo Sect?" the Minister of the Ministry of War asked.
The Floating World Sect has made a comeback, and all the ministers who have access to the power center of Daqi know, and even more know, the feud between Emperor Chongming and the Floating World Sect.
"The matter of the post house has the figure of the Ukiyo Sect, which shows that they still do not give up. If it is the work of the Ukiyo Sect, this matter will be troublesome."
Anyone who has dealt with the Floating World Sect knows that the people inside are a group of lunatics, they act without scruples, and they can reason with normal people, how can they talk to a group of lunatics?
The ministers discussed the method. The robbery of the king of a country was a big scandal for Daqi, especially if the envoys of other countries were still in the capital, the rumors would not have a good influence.
As such, the event was not advertised to much fanfare.
Emperor Chongming disappeared outside the capital city. That place is not far from the capital city, and usually there are few people there. Xiao Shengyun took people around, found clues, and chased after them.
While searching anxiously, news suddenly came that Emperor Chongming had safely arrived at the other palace under the escort of King Cheng.
A few old officials were worried, and they wrote to go to the other palace to take a look, Xiao Shengyun agreed.
Emperor Chongming woke up from a coma, looking at the strange top of the bed, his head was throbbing with pain.
"Come on."
Eunuch Qian trotted in: "Your Majesty, you are awake."
Emperor Chongming covered his forehead: "What happened? Where is I now?"
He only remembered that on the way to Biegong, a group of men in black suddenly rushed out and rushed straight at him without saying a word, and then what?
Emperor Chongming hammered his forehead and felt his head hurt even more.
Then it seemed as if someone was approaching him from behind and he lost consciousness.
"This is another palace. On the road, a group of thieves wanted to rob His Majesty. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Cheng appeared in time and prevented the thieves from succeeding." Eunuch Qian explained the problem of Emperor Chongming clearly.
Except for the part where King Cheng rescued him, everything else can be matched with Emperor Chongming's memory. Emperor Chongming squinted his eyes and sat up with Eunuch Qian's support: "Where are those people?"
"It has been beheaded by King Cheng."
"No one left alive?"
Eunuch Qian shook his head.
"I'm thirsty, bring me a glass of water."
Eunuch Qian went to the outside room and brought in a cup of warm water. Emperor Chongming felt better after drinking it.
"Prince Cheng is still in the other palace?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing the news that Emperor Chongming had woken up, King Cheng hurried over. Behind him were several ministers from the capital. Both ministers and Emperor Chongming breathed a sigh of relief when they met.
"In this matter, King Cheng has made a great contribution and should be rewarded."
"It's good that the father is fine, and I don't dare to take credit for it." Cheng Wang bowed his head respectfully.
Emperor Chongming sized him up for a while, then waved his hand: "If you hadn't happened to show up, that gang of thieves wouldn't have been executed in such a short time."
Emperor Chongming's suspicion will not decrease because of his illness, but will only increase. After talking, he ran out of excuses and asked everyone to retreat.
After everyone left, Emperor Chongming lay down for a while and asked Eunuch Qian to summon the two old ministers.
"What do you two lovers think about what happened this time?"
"I feel that this matter is strange. How did His Majesty's route to the palace be leaked? Where did the thieves who tried to harm His Majesty come from? Why did His Royal Highness Cheng appear so coincidentally? It's all open to discussion." A minister said.
The other minister's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak.
Both of them are courtiers trusted by Emperor Chongming, Emperor Chongming nodded: "Go and investigate secretly."
After the two left, Emperor Chongming lay back on the bed. Before summoning the two, he tried to contact Xiaowei who was with him, but failed, guessing that he was gone.
Most of the guards he brought died in the battle against the bandits, and most of the guards in the other palace were brought by King Cheng. Emperor Chongming was suspicious and dared not reveal it.
This other palace is located in a secluded place with a quiet environment, which is very suitable for recuperation, and it is warmer than the imperial palace. After comprehensive consideration, Emperor Chongming chose this place for recuperation.
Under the tall tree, King Cheng stood with his hands folded against the tree, and standing in front of him was one of the ministers who had just been summoned by Emperor Chongming.
The minister truthfully told Prince Cheng what Emperor Chongming said: "Your Majesty must have become suspicious of the prince."
"Even if he becomes suspicious, he can't find anything," Cheng Wang said with a smile, "This other palace is now under the control of this king. Whatever the father wants to do, he has to rely on this king."
He waited and waited for this opportunity, and he would not miss it no matter what.
After visiting Emperor Chongming, the ministers returned to the capital and brought back Emperor Chongming's oral order. Since he is fine, there is no need to say anything about it.
Chaozhong returned to calm.
The death of the Ukrainian envoy was finally found to be not the work of the eldest prince of the Qiang Kingdom. Although the Ukrainian Kingdom was dissatisfied with the result, it was not easy to express it clearly in Daqi's territory.
"The person who killed the envoys of the Ukrainian Kingdom was a member of the Floating World Sect?" In the study, Jiang Ling flipped through the notes on the desk, "Didn't the Floating World Sect members in the capital be dealt with before?"
Xiao Shengyun: "These people were brought into the capital from other places by the eldest prince of the Qiang Kingdom. They mingled with the Qiang Kingdom's guards and escaped the investigation of the capital's garrison."
Jiang Ling: "Why did they do this? Could it be that Wu Guo also has enmity with the Floating World Sect?"
Xiao Shengyun: "Wu Kingdom has no entanglement with the Ukiyo Sect. The people of the Ukiyo Sect are purely trying to stir up chaos in the capital and provoke confrontation between several countries. The more chaotic the situation, the better for them."
Jiang Ling: "Did Your Highness catch them?"
Xiao Shengyun: "This time they destroyed one of their strongholds in Chi County."
Because of Emperor Chongming's attitude, Daqi hit the Ukiyo Sect very hard. Although the leader of the Ukiyo Sect was not caught, the power of the Ukiyo Sect has been eradicated in sevens and eighties.
"This time the emperor was taken away, has nothing to do with them?"
"This time it really wasn't the work of the Floating World Sect. They had this plan, but before they did it, someone did it first."
Moreover, those people were silenced by King Cheng, and all clues were cut off. If you want to find the person behind the scenes, you can only start from other places.
For example, Prince Cheng, who seemed to know in advance that Emperor Chongming would be kidnapped.
Time passed day by day, and soon it was the end of the year.
Jiang Ling will celebrate her first New Year in this world.
It snowed at night, Jiang Ling came back after watching Xiao Gungun, looked at the plain white, and said, "Your Highness, let's make a snowman."
The hills where Jiang Ling practiced before rarely snowed, and even if it snowed, it was only light snow. Unlike here, there was a thick layer of snow on the ground, branches, and roofs.
Ever since Jiang Ling saw the snow outside, she was ready to move.
"not afraid cold?"
Jiang Ling stuffed the hand stove in Xiao Chengyun's arms, and picked up the snow on the branch: "Let me feel it."
The snow is very cool.
Suddenly leaving the source of warmth and touching the cold snow, Jiang Ling shivered.
He rolled the snow in his hand into a round ball, and his hands were red from the cold.
Xiao Shengyun held his red fingertips.
"Your Highness, I want to build a snowman." Jiang Ling looked up at the man eagerly, "I want to build two big snowmen, one for His Highness and one for me, and put them together."
"There are two small ones to be piled up and placed on the window sill of our bedroom, where we can see them every day."
Xiao Shengyun had no interest in making snowmen at first, but after Jiang Ling's description, he thought it was a very interesting thing.
However, he was worried that Jiang Ling's hands would be frozen.
"Are your hands cold?"
The man's hand was very warm, and the warmth came continuously from the skin-to-skin contact. Jiang Ling curled her fingers: "It's bearable."
After being carefully raised in the East Palace for a year, Jiang Ling's body is much better than when she first came here, and she no longer suffers from the cold in winter.
Jiang Ling was in high spirits, Xiao Shengyun handed the stove in his hand to Eunuch Fan, and he piled it with Jiang Ling.
There is a thick layer of snow in the yard, which is just right for making a snowman.
"Your Highness, do you know how to pile?" Jiang Ling was a novice, he thought, if Xiao Shengyun knew how, it would be much easier for the two of them to pile up.
Xiao Shengyun shook his head.
"His Highness hasn't piled up before?" Jiang Ling couldn't rely on anyone else but herself, Jiang Ling began to snowball, "It's okay, I don't know how, I will learn with His Highness."
Jiang Ling pushed the half-rolled snowball to Xiao Chengyun's legs: "Your Highness, you roll this one, and I will roll another one."
It was the first time for Xiao Shengyun to make a snowman, and although it was also the first time for Jiang Ling, he was the one who proposed to build a snowman. He felt that he should take care of Xiao Shengyun more, so that he could feel more fun from it.
Xiao Shengyun did not refuse.
Jiang Ling lowered her head and concentrated on rolling the snowball. He thought, if Xiao Shengyun's last snowball was not good, he would give him his own and roll another one.
Finally rolling a big snowball, Jiang Ling excitedly said: "Your Highness, look, I rolled such a big one!"
Jiang Ling searched around and found Xiao Shengyun's figure under a tree. He patted the snow on his hands and ran over: "Your Highness, where is your snowball?"
Xiao Chengyun moved his body away, Jiang Ling saw Xueqiu behind him, and opened his mouth in shock: "Didn't you say you can't?"
This snowball was bigger and rounder than the one Jiang Ling rolled out. Jiang Ling widened her eyes and complained: "Your Highness, you lied to me."
"Gu didn't lie to you, Gu learned it from Ling'er."
Jiang Ling was skeptical, but he didn't have much time to dwell on this, and took Xiao Shengyun's hand: "Let's roll two more, and we can pile up a you and a me."
After two more big snowballs rolled out, Jiang Ling directed Xiao Shengyun to put the snowballs in one place, and then put the smaller snowballs on top of the big snowballs to form two snowmen.
Jiang Ling clapped her hands in fear, and pointed at the Snowman: "This is Your Highness."
Pointing to the smaller one: "This is me."
The two snowmen cuddled together, and Jiang Ling stuck to Xiao Shengyun's side, posing in the same pose as the snowman: "Isn't it very similar?"
The excitement of building a snowman passed, and Jiang Ling realized that his hands were cold. He rolled his eyes and quickly stretched out his hand.
There was a bone-piercing coolness from the neck, Xiao Shengyun lowered his eyes, and met Jiang Ling's sly eyes.
"Your Highness, your wife's hands are very cold now. As a husband, shouldn't you warm him up?"
Xiao Chengyun patted his head: "Go and see alone."
The robbery of the emperor was a major event, and the ministers who got the news came to the East Palace one after another to discuss the follow-up matters.
"Your Majesty is seriously ill and cannot stand the bumps. We must rescue him as soon as possible."
This view is unanimously endorsed.
"However, we still don't know who did this, and what is their purpose of robbing His Majesty. If they send troops rashly, they may cause dissatisfaction among the thieves, which will be detrimental to His Majesty."

Emperor Chongming disappeared outside the capital city. That place is not far from the capital city, and usually there are few people there. Xiao Shengyun took people around, found clues, and chased after them.
While searching anxiously, news suddenly came that Emperor Chongming had safely arrived at the other palace under the escort of King Cheng.
A few old officials were worried, and they wrote to go to the other palace to take a look, Xiao Shengyun agreed.
Emperor Chongming woke up from a coma, looking at the strange top of the bed, his head was throbbing with pain.
