Chapter 342 The Emperor Summons
Several people took orders, changed into court clothes, and went straight to the palace without stopping.
Above the court hall, civil and military officials stood under His Highness one after another, only Long Muchen sat on a mahogany chair carved with the pattern of double dragons playing with pearls, sitting under the side of the throne.
The emperor looked radiant, and the prosperity of the country and the people made him smile every day.
After discussing some trivial gossip with the ministers, they turned to Long Muchen.
"Fourteenth brother, I see that you have been frowning since you entered the palace, and you looked lost. Is there something on your mind, or you are not feeling well?"
"..."
"Fourteenth brother? Prince Chen?"
The emperor yelled twice in a row before taking back Long Muchen's erratic soul.
Long Muchen immediately stood up, showing respect: "Brother Huang, it's my younger brother who lost his manners... My younger brother is all well and there is no serious problem."
The emperor had wisps of mustache and a pretentious look: "You are fine...but I have something to do. I really heard that something happened in the capital recently. Even King Chen's army was alarmed, and people going from house to house seemed to be Looking for something, those ordinary people who don't know why are all trembling, I want to know, what is it that requires such labor?"
Long Yutian didn't expect that this incident would alarm his father, he took a step ahead before Fourteenth Uncle could speak, and answered truthfully: "Report to my father, the reason why there is such a large-scale search in the capital is because It's because the third concubine disappeared two days ago, and I didn't want this to alarm my father, so I first asked Uncle Fourteen for help, and asked him to send some soldiers to help me find the whereabouts of the third concubine."
Long Yutian's words are not revealing.
Privately mobilizing the army is no child's play.
Especially inside and outside the capital, one pull can affect the whole body.
What's more, with all the civil and military officials present, they were quite critical of the relationship between Prince Chen and Qian Duoduo.
Now if they knew that Fourteenth Uncle was going to fight so much for a woman, although they dared not say anything, they would think about the attitude of Prince Chen towards Qian Duoduo in their hearts.
Long Yutian would rather take the charge of privately dispatching troops alone than let Long Muchen show his unusual concern for his concubine in front of everyone.
"What? Stop kidnapping the third princess? How many days? Did you find it?" The emperor stood up suddenly, with an unbelievable shock on his face.
Long Yutian replied in a low voice: "It's been two days since I returned to my father."
"Then what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and send someone to look for it. If you can't find it in the capital, expand the scope of your search. And I will find a painter right now and post the portrait of the third concubine in the capital. Anyone who knows, or can Those who provide clues will be rewarded with one thousand taels of silver."
Long Yutian was really flattered by the emperor's worried attitude.
I feel even more anxious than losing my princess.
But as an emperor, he naturally has his own considerations.
Not to mention that I still like this eclectic and eccentric Qian Duoduo.
The most important point is that this woman is not only his son's concubine, but also involves the crown prince of Rongguang Kingdom, and even the fourteenth brother loves her very much and treats her differently.
The fact that the emperor didn't say anything didn't mean he was old and dim-sighted.
One day, this woman might be able to do something big for herself.
But now, if something goes wrong under her nose, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
