"The emperor did not study in the imperial study yesterday. He said he was not feeling well, so he arrived............"

The little palace eunuch kneeling on the ground said this, and carefully glanced at the Empress Dowager Zhezhe, who was sitting beside Bumubutai, and then continued: "I went to the Empress Dowager of the Central Palace to recite the Buddhist scriptures for a while..."

Bumubutai turned his head and looked at Zhezhe.

Zhezhe looked extremely anxious and concerned, and nodded and said, "That's right."

Bumubutai asked the little palace eunuch again, "What's the matter?"

"The emperor still felt uncomfortable after he came back, so he didn't let him hire an imperial physician. He took a break early and said that the servants were staying in the room and made him very bored, so he drove the servants out... The servant was worried, so he went in early to pay his respects today. He lifted the quilt and found out... The emperor... the emperor was not on the couch..."

Xiaogonge stumbled and said this, he kowtowed heavily on the ground, and his head was so bloody.

Bumubutai passed on another slave in, and he tried several times in a row, but the answers he received were similar.

Thinking that her half-old son might have disappeared overnight, she was worried and pale, but she still stood straight and looked thoughtful.

The Empress Dowager Zhezhe was more anxious than Bumubutai. He looked restless and murmured "Amitabha" in his mouth, and kept asking her: "What should I do? What should I do?"

"Don't be anxious first."

Bumubutai was so anxious that he was about to bleed in his heart, but he still spoke first to comfort Zhezhe: "Maybe he just went to play, so don't worry too much before the matter was found out."

On the other side, Su Moer counted the number of small palace eagles who had been tried and suddenly said to Bumubutai: "Empress, there is one less. The emperor has seven slaves around him, and there are only six here."

Bumu Butai's eyes turned cold, and there was murderous intention in his eyes.

"Su Moer, go check where the missing slave has gone."

"yes."

"These slaves are taken down for trial, and no punishment is imposed. I must listen to the truth."

With a command, Bumubutai's tone was already murderous.

"Grandma, please spare me..."

Zhezhe was a little reluctant and hurriedly said, "Can Fulin go where to play? This child seemed a little... unhappy after becoming the emperor, and these servants also..."

The same sentence "I went to play", but the two empress dowagers themselves didn't believe it.

Bumubutai did not answer, and ordered himself: "Search for the palace! Do not disturb the kings in advance."

"yes……"

After a while, Su Mo'er hurried back and whispered to report: "That slave left the palace in front of the palace yesterday, and never came back... His name was Guifu, who entered the palace at the age of four and transferred to Yongfu Palace at the age of seven. He had been staying for ten years and had no relatives outside the palace. After the emperor ascended the throne, he was assigned to serve in front of the imperial court. In the past, he had to be good with anyone. Everyone in Yongfu Palace could say a few words to him..."

"How many people left the palace?"

"The guard said that Guifu pushed a small cart."

"What's going on?!"

"He refused to say at first that the servant used the punishment, saying that he was... reselling imperial meals."

"There are people in this business for a long time. Many slaves and guards have participated. They have shared a lot of money and secretly let them go out every night... This is the first time Guifu has participated, saying that the slave in the original imperial kitchen is sick."

The method of making money by reselling imperial meals was naturally also passed down from the Chu Dynasty. It happened decades ago. Emperor Yanguang of the Chu Dynasty withdrew imperial meals in recent years, and this bad habit gradually grew in the Qing Palace.

Huang Taiji ignored such trivial matters. Zhezhe, who used to take charge of the harem, was a soft-hearted person and could not help but turn a blind eye.

Bumu Butai's face was covered with frost. She didn't care about the little leftovers that allowed the palace servants to make some money, but she didn't allow anyone to dare to abduct the emperor.

"Everything is taken down to investigate!"

"yes……"

As soon as Su Mo'er went out, a palace servant came in and reported: "Empress, Prince Rui wants to see the emperor."

"What's up?"

"It was said that he had found a sir for the emperor."

The cold light in Bumubutai's eyes was even more intense.

——Dorgon refused to let the emperor find a gentleman before, but today he came?

Bumubutai was about to see him, but after thinking about it, he said to Zhezhe: "The Empress Dowager, go and meet King Rui."

Zhezhe was shocked and shocked.

Although she was in the central palace, she was not confident without giving birth to a son, and she was indeed quite afraid of Dorgon, who looked gloomy.

"This...how can I hide it from King Rui?"

"Hidden it? I'm afraid he already knows this. This is here to find out our truth..."

Bumubutai said, walking out in a hurry.

She walked through the Phoenix Tower and returned to Yongfu Palace. Along the way, the palace servants searched everywhere, and were busy everywhere, making her feel more and more anxious...

Bumubutai was a little hesitant when he stepped into Yongheyuan.

She felt that her son might have been scared of somewhere for a night, or even had been killed, but she still came to see Wang Xiao, which made her feel endless guilt, but she needed to ask Wang Xiao.

The breath of last night remained in the house, making Bumubutai's heart tangled...

Wang Xiao was awake and leaning against the wall, as if thinking about something.

Bumubutai walked into the house, his face turned cold, and asked, "Did you do it?"

Wang Xiao was slightly stunned.

Then, he smiled bitterly, raised his foot, and the iron chains on his feet jingled.

Tears immediately flowed down Bumubutai's eyes.

"Fu Lin...Fu Lin is gone."

"I know, I heard it when you went out." Wang Xiao asked, "Are you still in the palace?"

"I'm afraid I'm gone."

Wang Xiao frowned and whispered: "That would be very troublesome."

Bumubutai was originally speculating that this was done by Wang Xiao.

But seeing this at this moment, she understood that Wang Xiao could not do it, so it would be very troublesome to find Fulin again.

She could hold on in front of Zhezhe, but at this moment she felt dizzy and her body shook.

Wang Xiao sighed, spread his hands and said, "Come here."

...

Wang Xiao hugged Bumubutai, patted her back gently, and said, "Calm down, first, sort out the matter."

After a while, Bumubutai raised his head and had a firm look in his eyes.

She got close to Wang Xiao, stared at him tightly, and asked again: "Isn't you really doing it?"

Wang Xiao sighed lightly.

"Can you not mention it? To be honest, I will never hope that Fulin will disappear at this time. If he is not here, Qiuwei will not be able to move forward, and I will not be able to escape."

Bumubutai was slightly stunned and said, "You really plan to escape while Qiuwei. Now you tell me about this... do you think... Fulin can't come back?"

"No matter what, the most important thing is to find the person back now." Wang Xiao asked seriously: "When did the person lose it? Before or after night?"

“Before night.”

"Outside or inside the palace?"

"It should be outside the palace."

"Take it out?"

"At present, I suspect it was taken out by a slave named Guifu."

"Whose person?"

"I don't know yet." Bumubutai said: "Dorgon is here, I'll let Zhezhe go to see him first."

"There is something strange about this matter. Stealing Fulin is not like Dorgon's method." Wang Xiao said slowly: "But if this matter continues, he will still benefit the most..."

At this point, Wang Xiao suddenly stopped talking, just patted Bumubutai on the back and comforted her...

Bumubutai came here this time to test him.

At this time, she realized that Fulin was not something that Wang laughed at, but she was even more confused and worried.

But unexpectedly, Wang Xiao would be very comforting. When she left Yongheyuan, she felt much more calm...

~~

On this day, the palace servants searched through the palace but couldn't find Fulin.

More and more slaves were tortured and resold imperial meals were found to be found, but nothing else was found. Only people said that Gui Fu looked a little worried yesterday.

Dorgon entered the palace twice, swearing to the sky that he would not have kidnapped the emperor, and promised to search every corner of Shengjing.

But Bumubutai secretly received news that what Dorgon did after leaving the palace was not to search Shengjing, but to start summoning his confidant secret discussions again, and the two white flag soldiers were mobilized again...

That night, Bumubutai finally did not go to Yongheyuan again. She sat in the main hall of Yongfu Palace, and her confidant palace servants were shuttled back and forth, conveying various messages.

Fulin cannot be found.

Guifu can't be found either.

Until the early morning, Bumubutai supported her forehead and felt dizzy again.

"Empress, let's take a rest first."

Su Moer stepped forward and helped Bumubutai lie down in the bedroom.

Bumubutai hugged the cold fur, and felt endless emptiness in her heart. She was extremely tired, but she could not sleep.

After lying open her eyes for an hour, she got up again at dawn, and the news she received was smashed like a bolt from the blue.

——Last night, Dai Shan went to Prince Rui’s Mansion...
