2497 She's Gone
The girl herself was sentenced to kneel for a day, and she didn't tell the truth, which proved that the girl didn't want the queen mother to know the truth. But it was only two days and two nights, and she could still endure it.
Seeing her insistence, Gu Xiaowan looked worried, as if she was asking if Ah Zuo could live with it?
A Zuo nodded at her, and Gu Xiaowan saw this. If that's the case, then he should kneel with her for two days and two nights!
When the queen mother saw that Gu Xiaowan accepted it, she shouted at the people beside her: "Don't let the emperor know about this matter, especially the emperor. No one is allowed to let the emperor know. Anping, just kneel inside."
Gu Xiaowan hurriedly responded, dragged A Zuo and followed the mama next to the queen mother.
When I came here, I actually encountered such a thing. Where did the empress dowager still have the heart to find Buddhist scriptures, she took people and left again.
Gu Xiaowan knelt in a side hall outside the Book Collection Pavilion, and the mother beside the queen mother watched from the side.
When the Empress Dowager returned to the bedroom, Shu Min excused that she had something to do and slipped away. Aunt Jin sighed and said, "The Empress Dowager, it seems... The Princess of Mingdu knew that Princess Anping was inside."
Otherwise, she would not have rushed to look for the Queen Mother, and said that she would go to the library to read Buddhist scriptures. Aunt Jin still thought it was strange at the time. Isn't this Mingdu County Master who doesn't like to read books on weekdays? Why do you want to take the queen mother to the library today?
Moreover, Princess Anping is such a meticulous person, how could there be a voice inside at that time? Someone must have done it on purpose. The Mingdu County Master said that the voice came from the Treasure Pavilion. Anyway, Anping could find someone in the Treasure Pavilion.
The queen mother also sighed a little: "Yes, Aijia thinks Princess Anping is such a calm person, how could she secretly enter the treasure pavilion? If the emperor knows about this..."
Aunt Jin thought of something for a while, and hurriedly asked: "The Empress Dowager, Princess Anping has always been steady, this matter... Could it be that the emperor already knew about it, and the emperor agreed?"
"Impossible, if that's the case, why didn't she explain it today?" The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "You help Aijia press down on her head, it starts to hurt again!"
Aunt Jin hurriedly pressed the queen mother's temples, but today I don't know why, I always felt that the temples were bulging, and it was useless to press!
No one dared to say or know the news of Gu Xiaowan's kneeling punishment, but it was when Eunuch Qi arrived in the evening and was going to pick up Gu Xiaowan to come out, only to find out that Princess Anping was gone.
The guards at the door have already changed a wave of people. If you ask them, you must not know. For a while, Eunuch Qi is in a hurry.
It's not easy to publicize this matter, this treasure pavilion was originally the emperor never allowed to be entered, and now Princess Anping is gone, if this is spread out, it will not be good for anyone!
Therefore, Eunuch Qi didn't say anything, picked a book in the treasure pavilion, and went to the imperial study.
Gu Xiaowan was looking for books in the Treasure Pavilion, and only said that she had brought dry food and cakes, and she didn't need to be in charge of Eunuch Qi. Eunuch Qi didn't say anything when she saw her insistence, only told her to pay attention to rest.
How do you know that this time, people have disappeared!
Eunuch Qi panicked in his heart, and sent someone to go to the Princess Palace immediately to check carefully if the Princess had returned.
When the person who reported the letter came back and said that he hadn't seen Princess Anping for a day today, Eunuch Qi panicked.
Could it be that someone discovered that Princess Anping was in the Treasure Pavilion? But who has the courage to break into the Treasure Pavilion?
Thinking of this, Eunuch Qi was nervous. After returning to the imperial study, he told Shu Tianci truthfully that Princess Anping was missing.
When Shu Tianci heard that Gu Xiaowan was gone, the whole person became nervous!
He stood up abruptly and asked the shivering Eunuch Qi, "Are you sure, she's gone?"
The monstrous anger that radiated from his body rushed towards his face like ice, and the frightened Eunuch Qi fell to his knees with a plop: "Damn this servant, this servant went to answer Princess Anping just now, but I really didn't see Princess Anping, servant I also sent people to the Princess Palace to see, but the Princess has never gone back! Minions... Minions... I'm worried, did someone find that Princess Anping was in the Treasure Pavilion..."
"Impossible, in the Treasure Pavilion, apart from me, no one has passed my will, and no one can enter. The matter of her entry is so hidden, who would know about it except you and me!" Shu Tianci said angrily.
Eunuch Qi was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound.
Shu Tianci was anxious, Gu Xiaowan was such a cautious person, she didn't go back to the palace, she was afraid...
Something really happened!
"Go find it, be careful and see where the princess is. If she has any mistakes, you don't have to come back!"
Shu Tianci roared, when Eunuch Qi went out of the imperial study, a gust of late autumn wind was blowing, and he realized that his back was covered with fine sweat.
Seeing Eunuch Qi's pale face, Xiao Dezi hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Eunuch Qi, what's the matter? Why is your face so ugly?"
Eunuch Qi glanced at Xiao Dezi and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
After he finished speaking, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, swiped the dust and left.
When Xiao Dezi watched him leave, he kept his eyebrows low and pleasing to the eye, bowing to his knees. When he saw that he was walking away, Xiao Dezi raised his head with a surly expression on his face.
Gu Xiaowan is gone, where does Shu Tianci still have the heart to review the memorials, he is so anxious that he can't wait to turn the entire imperial city over to see where Gu Xiaowan is.
The waiting time was unusually long and difficult. Shu Tianci looked outside many times and listened to the movement outside, but it was silent and there was no sound of footsteps.
I don't know how long it took, Eunuch Qi came back from outside, sweating on his face, and after entering the imperial study, he immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, Princess Anping... She really... really disappeared!"
With a "boom", Shu Tianci only felt that the head of his head was struck by a lightning bolt: "Gone? What does it mean to disappear?"
Eunuch Qi went to the guard place at the gate of the palace to ask. The guard said that Princess Anping did not leave the imperial city today, which meant that Princess Anping was still in the palace.
However, there is no one in the palace!
