Chapter 283 Missing
When he arrived at the palace, he did not dare to walk side by side with King Ling and the Princess, but followed behind them at a distance of one step.
The three of them took their seats, with King Ling sitting in the middle, and the princess and concubine sitting on either side of him.
King Ling deliberately moved his stool closer to the princess, put his arm around her waist, and took care of her by serving her tea and water.
He didn't even look at the concubine.
This was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the concubine in public.
But since she was just a concubine, no one would pay attention to whether she was wronged or not.
The banquet began, and unmarried women from each family went on stage to perform, hoping to win a good marriage.
In order to attract King Ling's attention, the concubine also went up to perform a dance.
As a result, King Ling didn't even raise his head and was only focused on feeding the princess.
This completely broke the concubine's heart.
After the dance, she didn't have the heart to sit down and continue eating dog food, so she said hello and prepared to go to the lake to get some fresh air.
She happened to meet two of her old friends from before she got married, and they sat together and talked to each other, venting their dissatisfaction in life.
"What? You've been married for half a year, and you haven't slept with the Spirit King yet?"
"Hmm... I don't know what kind of pillow talk the princess gave to the prince?
After I came back from the palace after learning etiquette, King Ling's attitude towards me changed completely.
Not to mention sharing a room, he doesn't even bother to see me."
"Hey, I'm talking to you.
She is a princess from outside, what are you afraid of?
Just do it directly..."
The concubine sighed bitterly, "Do you think I don't want to?
Although her parents' family is not here, His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress are extremely protective of her.
The Spirit King also arranged secret guards around her, so there was no way to get close to her."
“Right here?
Although I can't send you to the Spirit King's bed, I can teach her a lesson and let her lie in bed for ten days or half a month. There is absolutely no problem."
The concubine excitedly grabbed her best friend's hand and asked:
"Yueyue, do you have any good ideas?"
Yueyue waved in the direction of her maid and whispered a few words into her ear.
The maid turned and walked towards the banquet hall.
The concubines and others walked towards the toilet.
"Even if she has a secret guard by her side, so what? The secret guard can't follow her into the toilet and watch her poop, right?"
“That’s it, don’t worry!
I'll help you teach her a lesson later."
A few people prepared their things and hid not far from the toilet and waited.
After waiting for about half an hour, the maid who Yueyue had arranged to go to the venue came running over and whispered something in her ear.
Several people immediately got up and hid in the toilet, added something into the incense burner, and then ran and hid behind the toilet.
After a while, the princess was seen walking towards the toilet alone.
The princess entered the toilet, took off her coat, and was about to reach out to unbuckle her belt when she suddenly felt dizzy.
She shook her head and said, "I was careless and fell into the trap of the villain..."
Just as he was about to call for help, he fell to the ground with a thump.
The three people squatting behind the toilet heard the noise inside and quickly opened the window and climbed in.
Yueyue walked up and kicked the princess twice, "You are a bitch from outside, and you dare to bully my girl from Daman Country."
Then he turned around and said to the concubine and another best friend:
"What are you waiting for? Fight..."
Just as he was about to rush forward, he was stopped by the concubine and said, "Don't fight here, go outside and find a quiet place to fight.
There are many people using the toilet here, and it would be bad if we were discovered."
The three men took great effort to climb through the window and drag the princess to a deserted place.
He didn't save any strength at all and beat me to death for more than ten minutes.
When he saw that it was almost time, he threw the person into the泔水桶 and hid him.
Then, the three of them returned to the banquet as if nothing had happened.
There was no one who was an eyesore nearby, so the concubine sat next to King Ling and happily picked up the wine jug to pour wine for him.
But King Ling didn't give her that face at all. He just picked up the wine glass and turned it upside down on the table.
The concubine held the wine pot and pursed her lips, "My Lord, I am also your concubine, you can't do this to me..."
King Ling said with amusement: "Concubine?
It seems that you learned etiquette in vain for that month in the palace.
Do I still need you to teach me how to treat a concubine?
In the palace, I provided you with food and clothes. Did I treat you unfairly?
As a concubine, do you think you can be on equal footing with the princess?
If you haven't learned etiquette well, then I'll let Aunt Tian teach you for another month?"
The concubine shook her head in horror, "My Lord, I don't want to be on an equal footing with the princess, and I dare not compete with her for favor.
I just thought you could..."
"Your Highness, this is bad..." The secret guard leaned close to King Ling's ear and whispered.
Although the concubine was far away, she could vaguely hear that the princess was missing.
Her heart suddenly rose to her throat.
After listening to the report from the secret guard, King Ling stood up from his seat.
"What? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on it?"
"But the princess is going to the toilet, and it is not convenient for me to go in."
King Ling flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
"Your Highness, where are you going? The palace banquet is about to end..."
The concubine quickly stood up and tried to stop King Ling from leaving.
Unexpectedly, King Ling ignored him and walked away.
The concubine looked at King Ling's leaving back and sat on the stool with a dejected look on her face.
It was obvious that they were the ones who knew each other first, and I had liked him for ten years, but he didn't even look at me.
How am I inferior to that woman?
Appearance, figure, talent, family background, everything is good.
Why is it that the woman has only been here for half a year, but she has already bewitched the Spiritual King to such an extent?
If King Ling wasn't interested in women, she would have let it go.
But King Ling was attracted to women, except her own woman. How could she be willing to accept this?
She clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, with a resentful look in her eyes, staring at the wine glass that was turned upside down on the table by the Spirit King.
Bitch, it would be best if you died. Only when the bitch died, there would be no third person to interfere, and she and the Spirit King could love each other.
Only then can the position of Princess Ling be hers.
King Ling hurried to the toilet.
"Your Majesty, it seems that drugs have been burned in the incense burner.
The princess's gauze dress was still hanging on the hanger.
It looks like someone deliberately targeted the princess and knocked her out and took her away."
King Ling went into the toilet, opened the incense burner, and took a look at the burnt white powder inside.
He narrowed his eyes and asked coldly:
"Are there any other clues?"
"An Er is already searching for clues nearby."
The Spiritual King turned and walked out of the toilet, just as An Er came over with a lantern.
He handed the two pieces of rags in his hand to the Spirit King.
"Your Majesty, according to my investigation of the surrounding area, I found these two pieces of cloth on the thorn cage behind the toilet.
The fabric looks like a girl's clothing.
They must have knocked the princess unconscious and then dragged her out through the back window.
According to the terrain of the palace, the princess should still be inside the palace."
King Ling said coldly: "Bring someone to find it for me...
Go and find out which cloth shop this fabric comes from. Even if we have to dig deep into the ground, we will find the person responsible and execute him.
Could it be that my temper has become too good in the past six months since I got married?
What misunderstanding did it cause to those people?
How dare you bully me?
We will wait and see..."
The palace banquet ended early because Princess Ling suddenly disappeared.
The palace sent out a large number of royal guards to conduct a carpet search, but found nothing.
The concubine and her two best friends suddenly felt uneasy when they saw this scene.
Afraid of finding it on myself.
It was early in the morning and the palace was still in chaos. At this time, an old couple pushed a pile of swill buckets out of the palace.
The guards at the palace gate randomly checked a bucket, and when they saw that there was no problem, they let it pass.
The next morning at court, two pieces of cloth were placed on the emperor's dragon table.
“My dear ministers, you may have heard that Princess Ling disappeared last night.
The Imperial Guards searched for the entire night but couldn't find anyone.
But the two pieces of cloth were found on the thorn cage behind the toilet.
The white piece belongs to Princess Ling.
The light blue piece belongs to the thief who kidnapped Princess Ling.
Everyone, please pass it around and see if anyone knows which cloth shop this cloth comes from."
The eunuch Wang Gonggong took the blue cloth from the emperor's hand and took it away to show to the ministers.
When it was passed to Lord Zhang, he looked left and right, and always felt that the fabric and color looked a little familiar.
But I just can’t remember where I’ve seen it.
Then he shook his head and put the cloth back into the tray.
After King Ling left the court, no ministers came forward to comfort him.
He went straight out of the palace. He had to hurry to find someone.
At this time, in a small mud courtyard in the suburbs, a girl covered in wounds was lying in a room.
An elderly couple was guarding the bed.
"Old man, do you think this girl is a good person or a bad person?
If we just rescue the person, will it bring trouble to ourselves?"
The old woman asked with a worried look on her face.
"Hey... No matter whether she is a good person or a bad person, can we just watch her die without helping her?"
The old man sighed.
"When she wakes up, ask her where she lives and we'll send her back."
The old woman nodded and prayed in her heart that the girl in the bed would wake up soon.
Maybe God heard her prayers.
The girl on the bed slowly opened her eyes.
"Old man, the girl is awake..."
“Oh, that’s great!
Girl, you finally woke up.
It almost scared us two old people to death.”
The old couple said excitedly.
"This……"
"Do you want to ask where this is?" Seeing that she didn't even have the strength to speak, the old man quickly continued.
The girl nodded.
“This is the northern suburbs, my home.
Last night, when we were pushing the swill out of the palace in the suburbs, we dumped you out.
We saw that you were still breathing, so we dragged you back home."
"Thank you, old man. I will repay you."
"No no no...
Girl, we don't need your reward.
When you feel better, we will take you back.
Or you can tell me where your home is and we can notify your family to pick you up."
