Chapter 448 I am here
Chapter 448 I am here
Three steps, two steps, one step.
The black figure slowly stopped in front of her.
"He Jingheng."
"I'm here."
His voice was slightly hoarse, and Shang Ruoyi's heart was moved when she heard it.
"He Jingheng."
"I'm here."
Shang Ruoyi's lips curled up slightly, her eyes full of joy.
She put her arms around his neck and buried her head in his arms. She had a lot to say, but at this moment she felt that nothing mattered anymore. She just wanted time to stay at this moment.
A look of surprise flashed across He Jingheng's eyes. He stretched out his hands and held her in his arms. Smelling the familiar fragrance, even if he had thousands of words to ask, he could only forget them all.
"Why are you here?" Shang Ruoyi asked in a muffled voice, "Did you come to look for me on purpose?"
He Jingheng tightened his arms around her slightly, as if to punish her on purpose: "If I don't come again, I'm afraid the threshold of the City Prince's Mansion will be blocked by marriage proposals."
He really heard it.
Shang Ruoyi didn't look up and continued, "That was what Concubine Xiao said, not me."
"What you said is even more excessive than this." He Jingheng sighed, but what she said was no longer important. At this moment, she was still in his arms, and this was the most important thing.
"Does the Emperor know that you left Tianshun?"
He Jingheng gritted his teeth when he heard this: "In my arms, you are still thinking about other men?" He lifted Shang Ruoyi's head from his chest. He wanted to tease her again, but when he saw her tears, what teasing? What marriage proposal? What other man? What emperor? None of them mattered. He could only put this woman in his eyes.
"Why are you crying?"
Shang Ruoyi shook her head and bit her lips tightly: "Nothing."
"But what happened?" As soon as he finished speaking, the person in front of him began to cry even harder. He Jingheng, who had remained calm even when faced with a catastrophe, panicked for the first time. He reached out to wipe the tears from her face, but soon tears burst out again.
"Little ancestor, please stop crying, okay?" He Jingheng said anxiously, "I was wrong, is it okay if I was wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
Shang Ruoyi wrinkled her nose. He Jingheng didn't expect her to ask this, but he reacted very quickly and said, "I'm sorry that I came late and made you suffer here."
"anything else?"
besides?
He looked at Shang Ruoyi's slightly red face, knowing that she was trying to save face, and said with a smile: "Whatever the Crown Prince's wife said I was wrong about, then I am wrong about that too."
"You're just being so talkative." Shang Ruoyi pulled her hand back and looked around again: "Did you come here with Yunqi and the others?"
"They left before me, but arrived at about the same time."
"Yunqi helped me track down Jun Luoyun and the force behind her. I think there will be results in the next two days." She deliberately let Jun Luoyun and that senior brother leave that day. Yunqi was the first one to arrive in the Suzaku team. He Jingheng said that he arrived earlier: "Then where have you been these days?"
He Jingheng looked around and whispered, "This is not the place to talk."
"I think the emperor might allow me to leave the palace today. Then you can go to the palace to look for me. With the skills of the prince, I think no one will find you."
He Jingheng scratched her little nose: "You did it on purpose."
Shang Ruoyi curled her lips slightly: "Brother is injured, I guess there is no way I can fight you."
"What? Do you feel it's a pity?" He Jingheng sighed. He was tied up tightly by this woman in this life. Just a few tears made him lose his composure.
"You leave the palace first. It won't be long before the Western Region Emperor knows that you have lost something. By then, the palace will be under martial law, and it will be difficult for you to leave."
He Jingheng took her hand and said, "I'll go with you."
"My father will definitely come to take me back to the palace today. I think the Western Region Emperor should not be thinking about sending troops anymore. I will still be thinking about you in the palace. You might as well wait for me outside the palace."
He Jingheng knew this truth, but they finally met, and he just wanted to stay by her side.
In the end, He Jingheng couldn't persuade her and left the palace first.
She fixed her makeup and walked quickly towards Ningshou Palace.
As soon as she arrived at Ningshou Palace, she heard the palace maids talking about something.
"I was so scared, I thought I wouldn't be able to come out alive!" A palace maid patted her chest and said with lingering fear: "Amitabha, God bless you."
"Tell us in detail," the surrounding maids and eunuchs urged, "Why are you still worshipping Buddha at this time? Tell us quickly!"
"I don't know what happened. The Empress Dowager ordered me to bring some ginseng soup to the Emperor. Just as I was about to hand it over, a little eunuch whispered something in the Emperor's ear. The Emperor immediately stood up, and I knocked over the bowl of soup. Fortunately, it didn't splash onto the Emperor's body. The Emperor saw that I was a maid in Ningshou Palace and someone close to the Empress Dowager, so he let me go." She stroked her chest: "Otherwise, I'm afraid my head would have to move."
After hearing this, everyone continued to ask, "What did the eunuch say to the emperor that could make him lose his composure like this?"
"How should I know?" the maid said hurriedly, "I'm almost scared to death, how can I have the mood to eavesdrop?"
When Shang Ruoyi heard these words, her heart became as clear as a mirror.
It must be that the private treasury was stolen, or the national treasury was stolen and discovered.
She guessed correctly, that was exactly it.
Today, the Minister of Revenue checked the treasury silver as usual, and found that all the boxes in the treasury were empty. There were only empty boxes and empty shelves upstairs and downstairs, and not a single tael of silver was left.
When he first entered, he thought he was dreaming or had walked into the wrong warehouse.
He rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not seeing things, then sat down on the ground.
"Where's Kuyin?" He stumbled to the door and grabbed a Kuding: "Where's Kuyin? Where's Kuyin?"
Ku Ding was startled by his appearance and said quickly, "Sir, the silver must be in the treasury! We have never been careless for a day!"
"Nonsense!" He grabbed Kuding by the collar, and with strength from nowhere, he brought him to the door of the treasury, pointed at the empty room inside, and said angrily: "Where! Where did it go? Tell me, where did all the silver and treasures in the treasury go?"
Seeing this, Ku Ding fell to the ground and muttered, "Impossible! Impossible!" He knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, when I put the banknotes in the warehouse last night, everything inside was still there!"
Hearing what he said, the Shangshu frowned: "Last night? Silver bills? What silver bills?"
Ku Ding then told him everything that happened last night.
"Confused! Confused!"
