Chapter 134 The Regent Has a Beautiful Girl in His Golden House (41)

As soon as the words fell, a flurry of footsteps interrupted their thoughts, "Prime Minister, Prime Minister..."

"Why are you so flustered?" Xiao Chengyu frowned.

"Prince Rong'an and a few others broke in, and I was unable to stop them." The subordinate raised his hand and pointed to the door.

"I thought he would come to see me tomorrow morning. It seems that Tang Cuo holds a different position in his heart." Xiao Chengyu waved his hand, "You go down first. Ben Xiang will handle it."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hearing his words, the man immediately disappeared from their sight.

"Yuzhu, you too..."

"Yuzhu is by your side, Lord Xiang, guarding you."

"Forget it, that's fine." Seeing his serious look, Xiao Chengyu did not dissuade him anymore.

A moment later, Mu Hanqing stepped into his bedroom. Rong Cuo, who was standing beside him, put the dagger in his sleeve and casually pushed the man guarding the door to the side.

"It's such a beautiful wedding night, but Prince Rong'an didn't accompany your princess. Why did he bring people to my house?" Xiao Chengyu chuckled. "If you don't know, you would think I stole your princess."

"Yes, Your Highness Prince Rong'an, breaking into the Left Prime Minister's residence at night, even if you hold a high position, you are too disregarding the laws of the country, aren't you?" Yu Zhu's eyes were cold.

"Xiao Chengyu, I don't want to beat around the bush with you. Where is Tang Cuo? Where did you take him?" Mu Hanqing asked in a cold tone, his eyes fixed on the person in front of him.

"Tangcuo? Who is that? How come I don't remember this person? Your Majesty, please don't pin this unfounded accusation on me."

"Xiao Chengyu, do you think I dare not touch you just because you are in your Prime Minister's Mansion?" Mu Hanqing clenched his fingers, and a fierce aura emanated from his body.

"Your Majesty, there must be evidence for everything. I cannot bear the thought of such a hat being put on my head."

Suddenly, a dark figure quietly walked up to Mu Hanqing from behind and whispered, "Your Highness, I have checked and found that Young Master Tang was not found in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Do you want me to check again?"

"Your Highness, aren't you a bit too presumptuous? Not only did you break into the Prime Minister's Residence, but you also sent people to search it without my consent?" Xiao Chengyu's face darkened.

"Oh, if you think I'm outrageous, just go and complain to His Majesty. Xiao Chengyu, don't let me find out that Tang Cuo's disappearance has anything to do with you, otherwise I will never let you go." After he finished speaking, Mu Hanqing took a few people and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Prime Minister, doesn't he take the emperor's authority too lightly?" Yu Zhu said with a hint of anger in her tone.

“If he follows the rules, Mu Hanqing won’t be Mu Hanqing anymore. Fortunately, Tang Cuo has been sent out. If he had really found her in the mansion, he wouldn’t have left so easily…” Xiao Chengyu chuckled as he watched them disappear.

"Give the order, everything should be done as usual, and those people who worked with you should all be dealt with, don't leave anything out."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Yu Zhu nodded, then turned and left.

Outside the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, Mu Hanqing looked at the moon in the sky, his eyes becoming increasingly gloomy.

"What did you find?"

“Your Highness, the man next to the left prime minister had mud on his feet, and it was obvious that he had just returned from outside. There was half a willow leaf on the side of his right shoulder.

As far as I know, there are only two willow trees like this at the corner of West Street, and there is also a willow forest like this at the ruined temple about ten miles outside the city. "

"Send people to these two places to investigate carefully. Don't miss any clues. Also, find out who has had close contact with Xiao Chengyu recently and expand his network of relationships." Mu Hanqing's eyes were gloomy.

"Yes."

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Mu Hanqing came to Tang Cuo's bedroom, drove away the subordinates beside him, and sat on his couch alone.

He took off his red wedding dress, and clenched his fingers tightly around the blanket that still smelled of Tangcuo. A crazy and paranoid feeling rose in his heart, "Acuo, you are really disobedient. I told you again and again not to run away from me. I told you that if you dare to leave me, I will break your legs and push you around every day..."

At the same time, the bumps in the carriage made Tang Cuo a little drowsy. Murong Yuan stretched out his arm and let him lean on his shoulder. "Drive more steadily. Your Highness has fallen asleep."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

[System detection, the attacker's crazy criticism index has risen to 88%.]

Murong Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at the sleeping Tang Cuo, as if he was looking at a rare treasure, with a pious gaze: His Highness's eyelashes are still as long and fluttering as they were back then, and his ears are still the same as before.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his finger and touched Tang Cuo's ear. An itchy feeling enveloped him, and Tang Cuo unconsciously rubbed Murong Yuan's shoulder a few times.

"Your Highness is as lovely as ever."

The sun rose and the moon set, and the sky turned pale. After a night's journey, the carriage slowly stopped outside the Beichao Palace. Murong Yuan raised his hand to take off his cloak and carefully covered Tangcuo with it.

Then he bent down, picked him up, and walked towards the inner courtyard of the imperial city. The guards patrolling on the side saw him and wanted to pay their respects to him.

He stopped them all in time. Murong Yuan held Tang Cuo in his arms and walked quickly towards his bedroom.

He walked briskly, but his movements were very steady while holding Tang Cuo, as if he was afraid of waking Tang Cuo up.

In the Jing'an Palace, Murong Yuan carefully placed Tang Cuo on the dragon couch and raised his hand to cover him tightly with the quilt beside him.

Then she stared at his face for a long time before walking away.

"You guys, tell the imperial kitchen to prepare breakfast, and serve it to the person inside after he wakes up. Remember to serve him carefully. If he is not satisfied with anything, watch out for your heads." Murong Yuan's words were indifferent, and his original gentleness disappeared in an instant.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we servants will carefully serve the master in the palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Yuan left the bedroom and said, "Yue Xu, go to the Imperial Hospital and find a few doctors. When His Highness wakes up, feel his pulse and diagnose if there is anything in his body that is harmful to his health."

"Yes, I accept your order."

Mu Hanqing sat on Tang Cuo's couch, like a statue, sitting quietly all night, looking at the two clay figures on the table that had just been baked, his eyes becoming more and more cold.

"Your Highness..." Rong Cuo hurried in. "I found two sets of servants' clothes at the corner of the palace, and there is an abandoned carriage in the low woods ten miles outside the city."

"Also, I am still investigating the people that Zuo Xiang had contact with recently..."

"Rongcuo, find a few skilled people to keep an eye on the news from the Northern Dynasty's capital."

"Your Highness, do you suspect that Young Master Tang was sent to Libei Dynasty?"

"His uncle is in Li Beichao, so it is very likely." Mu Hanqing's eyes darkened slightly, then he stood up and left the side courtyard.
