Chapter 20: The Second Prince is gone
Yang Su didn't dare to declare rebellion for a day, so Queen Xiao was the nominal master in this palace.
Sometimes, you can take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack when others can't react.
"Who?"
A eunuch shouted, and a eunuch and two palace maids stood out from behind the arch, looking at the queen mother and Xiao Guogong in surprise.
They are Yang Shufei's people, and they are responsible for protecting and serving the second prince, but they can't understand why the queen mother and Xiao Guogong appeared here at this time?
And not accompanied by Yang Shufei?
"Oh oh oh, are you Wang Quan who takes care of the second prince? At the beginning, my sister led you to my palace and kowtowed, how is the second prince now? ”
Empress Xiao is careful, she still knows the big eunuch who takes care of the second prince in this palace, and she calls out people's names as soon as she looks at her, which makes Wang Quan, who was originally puzzled, hesitate slightly, and quickly kowtow to her according to the rules.
This kneeling, Xiao Guogong and Queen Xiao on the side breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Yang Shufei and the second prince really didn't know that they and Xiao Guogong had escaped, or that the palace gate was too big, and Wang Quan didn't know what was going on in the palace at this time?
"Back to the queen's mother, the second prince has just had lunch at this time, and he has already fallen asleep, and the slave immediately asked people to go to the concubine to welcome the ......queen's mother."
Although Wang Quan was very respectful, he must be on guard in his heart, and at this time, under the pretext that the second prince had already fallen asleep, he wanted to pass on Concubine Yang Shu.
Because the queen mother was just dressed simply at this time, and there were not many people with her, it was even more coincidental that she was with Xiao Guogong, anyway, it was strange.
In this case, he remembered that yesterday Concubine Yang Shu repeatedly told him to pay attention to the safety of the second prince, and sent many people to guard the palace gate, although he didn't know what was going on.
But he didn't dare to be careless, in this case, it was what he should do to ask Yang Shufei.
But before he finished his words, he felt that his eyes were dark, and he was slapped on the back and neck by Xiao Guogong, although Xiao Guogong was old.
But once there was a good martial arts, and he quietly stunned a Zhang Quan, which was naturally not a problem.
And as soon as he made a move, the people who were standing beside the queen seemed to be instructed to do it immediately, the reason why these people were trusted by the queen's mother.
That's because many of them are members of the Xiao family, and the martial arts of the Xiao family are not low, and dealing with a few defenseless eunuchs and palace maids is naturally hand-to-hand and does not disturb others.
"I've arrived at the residence of the second prince, I'll deal with those eunuchs and palace maids head-on first, father, you take someone to bypass from behind......"
The second prince's bedroom is also big, and it is unknown whether the child is resting, but it is best for the two to act separately.
Xiao Guogong stayed in the two or three palace maids for Empress Xiao, and immediately left with a few people.
Empress Xiao's sudden arrival made the minions who were serving the second prince panic, at this time, the big eunuch Wang was not there, and some of the people under him knelt down to greet the queen's mother, and those who had a spirit immediately went to tell Concubine Yang Shu.
"I'm just distracted, and occasionally I walk here, remembering that I haven't seen the second prince for some days, so I came over to take a look......"
Empress Xiao was just taking a few palace maids with her at this time, dressed casually, although her words were relaxed, but those minions looked at each other, but they didn't know what to do.
"Get up for me, look at you useless minions, none of them are smart, I will see Sister Yang in a while, I have to teach me well, she is too kind to you......"
As soon as Empress Xiao said this, the eunuchs who had originally arranged to inform Concubine Yang slowed down.
This really invited Concubine Yang early, and after being reprimanded by Queen Xiao in the end, they were the unlucky, but when Queen Xiao came, it was also a big crime not to communicate with Concubine Yang, so when to go to Concubine Yang, how to think about delaying time, so that the queen mother would talk less about them as minions.
That's all that matters.
So there were a few eunuchs and palace maids laughing, while inviting Empress Xiao inside, while delaying the time, some asked to hug the second prince, some went to Concubine Yang, and some knelt in the small hall to reply to Empress Xiao's words.
For a while, the second emperor's palace was full of chickens and dogs, and almost everyone was busy, and many eunuchs and palace maids were called to the front hall, but there were fewer people around the second prince.
"Oh no, no, the queen ......"
A frightened cry came, but someone found the bodies of Wang Quan and several palace maids, and at this time, the eunuchs and palace maids who were already chaotic were panicked.
At this time, Concubine Yang Shu has not come over, Queen Xiao is the largest in the palace, although Queen Xiao and Concubine Yang Shufei have always been at odds with each other, but they are the masters of these six palaces.
Even when Concubine Yang Shu saw the queen's mother, she had to kneel down and call her sister, so the eunuchs and palace maids after the panic were all arranged by Queen Xiao.
"Look at you useless minions, it's not me coming today, I don't know that the management in your palace is so chaotic, quickly, send the second prince here, there are many people here, just wait here for Concubine Yang's sister to come......"
Empress Xiao's words were full of affection for Concubine Yang, and these people from Concubine Yang naturally felt that the queen did not need to be guarded against at this time.
Then, it was soon discovered that the second prince was gone, and everyone was dumbfounded, and now those minions all kowtowed to Queen Xiao.
"Queen Mother, please ask Queen Mother for help, Second Prince, I don't know why it's gone......"
These people are all serving the second prince, this master is gone, the big eunuch has been killed, just thinking about it makes people feel cold.
They are not effective in protecting the master, if Concubine Yang comes, they will have to kill them one by one, and at this time, the only one who can protect them is the queen mother!
So there was a cry in the hall, and when Concubine Yang came in, she saw this scene, and the whole person was dumbfounded, and when he heard that the second prince was missing, his face turned white.
The whole person was shaky, and she almost fainted on the ground, and the palace maids who served beside her were extremely flustered, some were busy asking for the imperial doctor, and some were busy serving Concubine Yang, all in chaos.
Empress Xiao was still calm, and quickly commanded these people to do whatever they wanted, and when the situation temporarily stabilized, Xiao Guogong came over covered in blood.
In his hand, he was still holding a frightened and pale second prince.
Now the second prince is not three or four years old, if he wants to cry, he can secretly look at Xiao Guogong, he doesn't dare to cry at all, he just looks at the trembling minions in the room, and Queen Xiao who is standing there calmly, he is also frightened.
"Let the queen mother hug you, Xiao Guogong, what's going on?"
Empress Xiao took the second prince, and when she glanced at Xiao Guogong, she asked knowingly.
