Chapter 217 The beauty hidden in the golden house
Seeing that Meng Shaoqing was unwilling to help, Nangong Luoxia stood up and was about to leave...
The person in the pavilion didn't even raise his eyebrows, but just poured himself another cup of tea, clearly ignoring her intention.
The Meng family ordered their servants to arrange accommodation for Nangong Luoxia.
Immediately, Nangong Luoxia transferred almost all the secret guards around her to search for A Zi near the place where she fell into the water.
He only left one personal bodyguard to follow him in the Meng Mansion.
In the evening, Nangong Luoxia was the princess of the emperor, so the Meng family naturally had to host a banquet. The table was filled with delicious food, but Meng Shaoqing was the only one missing.
Nangong Luoxia pretended to be sad and said, "But Brother Shaoqing is not happy that I am here, otherwise why would he not come to dine with us?"
Meng Lin glanced at Meng Youli awkwardly. Seeing his mother's understanding, Meng Youli stood up and bowed slightly to her. "Your Highness, please forgive me. My brother was not feeling well today, and I was afraid that my illness would spread to Your Highness, so I didn't come to dinner."
Before Nangong Luoxia could say anything, she saw Meng Shuran curl his lips, looking like he knew something.
Nangong Luoxia retracted her gaze and said, "If that's the case, then it's alright. Let's eat."
Everyone started to eat, and because the princess was present, everyone was a little restrained.
After finishing the meal, while Meng Youli and Meng Lin were out, Nangong Luoxia wiped her hands and said, "Shu Ran, why don't you take me to Shao Qing? I'm really worried and want to go see him."
Meng Shuran nodded blankly, "Oh... Your Highness, please follow Shuran."
My brother has been in the backyard these past few days. There are special guards there, and I have never been in there. I don’t know if I can go in there with His Highness Luoxia...
Nangong Luoxia glanced at Meng Shuran and saw that she was thoughtful, so she asked, "What's wrong, what are you thinking about?"
Meng Shuran lowered his head quickly, "No, I'm not thinking about anything."
The more she acted like this, the more suspicious Nangong Luoxia became.
Before anyone reached the backyard, the news had already reached Meng Shaoqing.
At this time, Meng Shaoqing had just finished bathing in the hot spring pool. After hearing the report from his subordinates, he stood up and put on some clothes casually. "Pass my order, no one is allowed to enter, and there is no need to report to me."
The guards said, "Yes."
When we arrived at the backyard, we found that it was heavily guarded and no one was allowed to enter.
Meng Shuran felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and with his hands on his hips, he said in a slightly louder voice, "This is His Highness Nangong Luoxia! How dare you stop me!"
The guard ignored him and stood at the door as if he hadn't heard anything.
In Feng Zhaoyun's bedroom, dinner had just been placed. Jiuyi helped her up and walked to the table.
As Jiu was setting out the dishes, he said, "Nangong Luoxia is here. According to the Dark Guard, she came for you."
Feng Zhaoyun ate the dishes and said, "That's perfect. I want to enter her too. Let her come in."
Jiuyi, "But Master Meng has issued an order not to let her in."
Feng Zhaoyun said, "Let her in, I'll handle the rest."
Jiuyi, "Yes."
Arriving at the door, Nangong Luoxia was about to leave when Jiuyi said, "Your Highness Luoxia, please come in."
When the guard at the door saw that it was Jiuyi, he knew that this man was a martial arts expert and thought that it was Master Meng's intention, so he did not stop him.
When she saw Jiuyi, Nangong Luoxia was obviously stunned. This was someone close to A Zi, and was said to be the princess's confidant. A Zi was missing, but she didn't go to look for him, but was here.
Meng Shuran was excited because he could finally go in and see what the backyard looked like.
As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, Jiuyi stopped him and said, "Your Highness Luoxia, please come in."
Meng Shuran, "You!"
After a few people entered, Meng Shuran had no choice but to give up. After all, she was the eldest daughter of the family, and she had no status at all. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so she turned away.
As soon as Nangong Luoxia entered, she saw a pair of eyes staring at her.
When he arrived at Feng Zhaoyun's bedroom, before he entered, he met Meng Shaoqing in the corridor.
The tips of his hair were still wet and it was obvious that he had come in a hurry.
Seeing Nangong Luoxia, the visitor was obviously displeased, "How did you get in?"
Meng Shaoqing is just a merchant, but he treats the princess without courtesy or honorifics, so... arrogant.
Nangong Luoxia forced a smile and said, "Of course it was this person who invited me here."
Nine nodded.
Meng Shaoqing glanced inside the room, smiled devilishly, and whispered to Nangong Luoxia, "There's a beauty I'm hiding in there. Do you know her?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Nangong Luoxia looked at Jiuyi. Beauty?
That's true, the master is indeed a beauty.
Nangong Luoxia, "Since you have invited me, I will definitely see you."
After saying that, he headed towards the house.
Jiuyi pushed open the door and saw Feng Zhaoyun wearing a robe and drinking tea at the table.
When the door opened, Nangong Luoxia was stunned when she saw her. She didn't know how to describe it for a moment. The person in front of her was really beautiful. She thought Bai Xiyue was already a beauty, but after seeing this, she knew what it meant to be a stunning beauty and she was completely captivated by her.
The person at the table had fair skin and hair that was darker and shinier than that of an ordinary person. On her palm-sized face, she had a pair of charming eyes, a delicate nose, and cherry lips. At this moment, with her hair loose and wearing a robe, she looked like a fairy who had just descended into the mortal world. She was truly stunning.
Well, where did Meng Shaoqing find such a woman? No wonder he stays in this farm every day and doesn’t go back to the imperial city.
Meng Shaoqing walked over and saw the stunned Nangong Luoxia. He smiled and said, "Well, did I lie to you? People have seen it too. Let's go back."
He really didn't know this woman and had nothing to say, so Nangong Luoxia turned around and left.
Feng Zhaoyun was stunned. He...left?
Feng Zhaoyun, "Your Highness Luoxia!"
Just as she stood up to chase after him, she felt a sharp pain in her shoulder and quickly held onto the table. Meng Shaoqing took a few steps forward and supported her.
Feng Zhaoyun threw him away and said, "Mr. Meng, please be aware of the differences between men and women. What did you say to Her Highness Luoxia that made her ignore me?"
Meng Shaoqing smiled. Okay, she really didn't know yet. "How would I know? I just said, 'Sister A Zi is really beautiful,' and she left."
Feng Zhaoyun said, "Jiuyi, help me back to bed to rest."
Jiuyi stepped forward and said, "Yes."
Meng Shaoqing looked at her lying on the bed with a smile on his face, "You have a good rest, I'll come back later."
After saying that, he turned and left.
After Meng Shaoqing left, Jiuyi was puzzled, "Master, you have clearly restored your true appearance, why is he still calling you Sister A Zi?"
Feng Zhaoyun was startled and quickly touched the mechanism on his face. It was over... it was gone.
She finally understood why Nangong Luoxia left.
This Meng Shaoqing, it turns out, had known her true appearance for a long time, yet he pretended not to know, not asking her, and not being surprised...

royal palace,
Nangong Liuying was dining in her own bedroom. She picked up a bowl of soup and listened as the eunuch, kneeling below her, reported, "Your Majesty, the divine doctor A Zi was assassinated on her way back to the imperial city and has disappeared."
After hearing this, Nangong Liuying raised her eyebrows and threw the soup in her hand to the ground. The eunuchs in the hall knelt on the ground.
Nangong Liuying's lips were rosy red, and her face was ferocious. "If she dies, who will punish me? Send someone to look for her. If you can't find her, you will all die."
The hall was completely silent, and no one dared to speak.
...…...
Chaohua Palace,
After the news of the main hall came out, it spread quickly.
Xiao Qingyue was standing barefoot in the courtyard with a cushion on the ground. He rolled up his sleeves and trimmed the branches and leaves of the potted plants with scissors. He was still the same, even though he was in the palace, he was still dressed in plain clothes and not in fancy clothes.
Zhu Qing entered the courtyard and dismissed the servants. "Zheng Jun, news has come from the main hall that the genius doctor A Zi was assassinated last night and has disappeared. Her life or death is unknown."
With a "snap", a cluster of the carefully pruned Podocarpus was abruptly cut off.
Xiao Qingyue stood there in a daze, not turning back. "The news... is it true?"
Zhu Qing was puzzled. What is the master doing?
Zhu Qing, "I heard from Shangguo that he was shot by an arrow and fell into the river. None of the people around the princess have returned. They must be looking for him, but they haven't found him yet."
The scissors fell to the ground, and the man who had always been elegant and dignified ran towards Chaohua Palace in panic.
Zhu Qing seemed to have not expected his master to do this. After a second of silence, he chased after him. The palace servants passing by had never seen Huang Zhengjun running barefoot without regard for etiquette. They all knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.
Xiao Qingyue ran all the way out of Chaohua Palace and headed towards the main hall.
Zhu Qing caught up with him, "Where are you going, Lord Zheng? We're in the Imperial Palace. If you do this, I'm afraid... it will displease His Majesty."
Seeing his master acting like a madman, he ran towards the main hall regardless of anything and ignored him.
Zhu Qing gritted his teeth and boldly grabbed Xiao Qingyue.
Only then did he stop.
Zhu Qing, "Zheng Jun, let's go back first. The main hall of His Majesty is just ahead. There are too many people here. If it gets out, it will be a big problem. You... haven't put on your shoes yet."
Xiao Qingyue's hair was hanging down on both sides, which added a touch of beauty. He leaned against the red palace wall and said, "I... want to leave the palace!"
Zhu Qing quickly looked around and whispered, "Zheng Jun, let's go back first. If it's because of Ah Zi, let's go back and discuss it later. It's really not appropriate to say too much here."
He didn't know why his master was like this. He was just a small miracle doctor, and his master used to dislike him very much. Why was he so nervous now?
Shouldn't the master be thinking about the princess in his heart? Why has it changed?
Zhu Qing helped Xiao Qingyue back to Chaohua Palace. Xiao Qingyue sat on the couch in the courtyard, a dazed look in her eyes. "Go...report to His Majesty, I want to go to Huguo Temple to pray for a few days."
Zhu Qing looked embarrassed, "Master, is it worth it for a little miracle doctor?"
Thinking of that person, Xiao Qingyue smiled gently, "I would rather be the one shot by an arrow and fall into the river than her... I can die for her, regardless of whether it's worth it or not."
Zhu Qing was slightly stunned and lowered his head. "Yes, I will report it right away."
Xiao Qingyue, "Yeah."
Thinking that Nangong Liuying had just finished her anger, Zhu Qing did not go there immediately, but went there at dinner time.
Nangong Liuying's bedroom was littered with broken items. The imperial physician knelt on the ground, his shoulders trembling, not daring to look up.
Ah Zi treated her yesterday. Because she didn't have the acupuncture treatment scheduled today, she had some bleeding from her lower body. Although it wasn't much, she was still afraid.
Ever since Ah Zi gave herself acupuncture, she now suffers from splitting headaches and drowsiness whenever she is not given acupuncture.
Nangong Liuying staggered a few steps, held her head, and pointed at the imperial physician, "What use is it for me to keep you! All of you, die! Come! Drag everyone out of this room and execute them all."
When the servants and imperial doctors heard this, they trembled with fear.
The guards at the door came in and pulled the people out, and cries for mercy were heard instantly.
More than twenty people were killed at one time, which was truly brutal.
Zhu Qing happened to come here and saw such a tragic scene. He didn't know whether he should go in.
But then the empress's personal eunuch came out, and Zhu Qing hurried forward, "Eunuch, what's going on, Your Majesty?"
The young eunuch pulled him aside and said timidly, "It's because the Divine Doctor A Zi is missing, and His Majesty is furious in there!"
Zhu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Eunuch, my son wants to leave the palace and go to Huguo Temple to pray for His Majesty. Please find a chance to report this to His Majesty."
The young eunuch said, "Your Majesty is your favorite, so your Majesty will definitely grant your permission. But now your Majesty is angry, so I dare not go in."
Zhu Qing nodded, and seeing there was no chance, he turned and left.
After reporting the situation to Xiao Qingyue, Xiao Qingyue said, "Go and tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs that I will leave the palace early tomorrow morning to pray for His Majesty."
