Chapter 769

When the officers and soldiers rushed into the Xixiang Pavilion, the two nursing homes had already run away without a trace, and only Jing Feng was still lying on the ground and screaming.

Bu Shengyan gave the two nursing homes a piece of silver, which was their hard work.

"Go back to the Hou's Mansion, and don't go out recently, so as not to be seen."

The two nursing homes accepted the money and smiled: "We know, thank you for the reward, Miss."

Bu Shengyan returned to the palace in a carriage, passing by General Zhongwu's residence on the way.

She saw a white lantern hanging from the door of the General's Mansion.

The entire General Chungmu Mansion was gloomy and gloomy.

Xiao Lingfeng was instructed to escort the winter supplies to Fengyang County. He encountered robbers on the way. Not only the supplies were robbed, but even the escorts were killed and injured. Xiao Lingfeng's whereabouts are unknown, and there is no news so far. Many people say that he was killed by robbers, and his body was taken away by wild wolves, so the body cannot be found.

Xue's grief was full of grief, and she couldn't get sick directly.

Xiao Zhilan endured her grief and served at her mother's bed.

Xiao Qiming didn't want to believe the news of his father's death, and regardless of the obstruction of others, he personally rode a horse and led a team of guards to track down his father's whereabouts.

As a result, he returned empty-handed and found nothing.

Xiao Qiming returned home in despair.

The housekeeper began to make preparations for General Xiao's funeral, and a white lantern was hung at the entrance of the general's mansion.

The spy hiding in the dark caught this scene, turned his head and told King Jing of these things.

General Zhongwu's mansion has already started to prepare for the funeral, presumably Xiao Lingfeng is really dead.

Xiao Qiming knelt in front of his mother's bed, slammed his forehead on the ground, choked and begged.

"I beg mother to take care of your health. Although there is no father at home, there is still a son and Xiaolan. You can't leave us!"

Xue's whole body was so haggard, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she was almost blind.

She stretched out her hand tremblingly: "Qiming, Xiaolan, mother will be only you from now on."

Xiao Qiming and Xiao Zhilan walked over on their knees, holding Xue's hand tightly.

The three mother and son cried together.

On the third day.

The emperor still did not return to the palace, and the rumors have not stopped.

Both the people and the courtiers need a reasonable explanation from the emperor.

But the emperor never showed up, and the courtiers were anxious because they couldn't see anyone. Some of them begged to King Jing's mansion to ask King Jing to enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother, and then the Queen Mother would call the emperor back to the palace.

This proposal has been supported by many people.

King Jing Luo Yanzhi was just pushed out.

He complied with everyone's wishes and entered the palace to ask to see the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager has been obsessed with Buddhism recently, and is not very concerned about external affairs.

After listening to Luo Yanzhi's explanation, she realized that so many things had happened outside in just a few days.

The empress dowager called the emperor back to the palace because of her ill health.

The edict was sent to Moon Shadow Villa and handed over to the emperor.

Luo Qinghan just glanced at it, then threw it aside and ignored it.

He had someone put on a chessboard and asked Xixi to play chess with him.

Xiao Xixi asked while placing pieces on the chessboard.

"How long are you going to stay here?"

Luo Qinghan asked back, "Don't you like it here?"

Xiao Xixi: "I like it very much. Not only is there food and drink here, but it's also very quiet. There aren't so many messy things. It's very comfortable to stay here."

Luo Qinghan: "Since you're comfortable, then stay longer."

Seeing his calm and calm look, Xiao Xixi didn't ask any more questions, as if everything had already been calculated.

She plays chess as fast as ever. She can put the pieces wherever she wants, without any need to think about it at all, she just relies on intuition from start to finish.

Luo Qinghan knew that he couldn't think too much about playing chess with her, so he did what he wanted.

But even so, he can't guarantee that he will win every game, and the winning rate of the two is basically equal to half.

Luo Qinghan looked at the expectation in front of him and suddenly smiled.

"I prefer to be the one who plays chess rather than being a pawn."

When he was still the prince, he could only be a chess piece in the hands of others, being held in the palm of his hand by others, his fate was completely involuntarily in his hands.

But it's different now.

He is no longer the pawn at the mercy of others.

...

The Empress Dowager issued three edicts in a row and summoned the emperor back to the palace, but never got a response.

This made the Empress Dowager very angry.

She called Princess Hua'an and commanded with a sullen face.

"The emperor lives in the Moon Shadow Villa outside the city. You should go there instead of Ai's family. No matter what, you must find the emperor back. He is the king of a country. No matter how big things happen, he can't leave like this Of!"

Princess Hua'an obeyed obediently: "Here."

The next day, the eldest princess' carriage stopped at the entrance of Yueying Villa.

Knowing that Princess Hua'an was coming, the emperor didn't react much and said in a low voice.

"Bring her in."

Eunuch Chang personally came forward and led Princess Hua An into the warm pavilion.

Princess Hua'an is thirty-one this year. Although she is already the mother of two children, she is still in full bloom and graceful.

She greeted the emperor.

Luo Qinghan glanced at her lightly: "Are you here to be a lobbyist for the imperial grandmother?"

Princess Hua'an smiled bitterly: "Can your majesty listen to me?"

Luo Qinghan was silent.

Princess Hua An glanced at Eunuch Chang.

"I would like to have a few words with Your Majesty alone."

Eunuch Chang saw that the emperor had no objection, so he led the others out of the warm pavilion.

Only the emperor and Princess Hua'an were left in the cabinet.

I don't know what the two of them said at the end. When the door of the warm pavilion opened and Princess Hua An came out, her expression was very ugly.

She ignored Eunuch Chang who saluted her, and left Moon Shadow Villa without looking back.

Princess Hua'an took a carriage back to the city, entered the palace and saw the Empress Dowager, and cried.

"Erchen said everything that could be said, but the emperor didn't listen at all, and even rudely said that Erchen was mocking. Mother, although he was the emperor, but Erchen was his aunt after all, how could he So, Erchen? Woohoo!"

The matter of Princess Hua'an's final return from the meeting with the emperor quickly spread out of the palace and into the ears of the courtiers.

The courtiers increasingly felt that the emperor's confusion and self-willedness was outrageous, and it was really not the act of the Mingjun.

I don't know when rumors spread in Beijing that the current emperor was not the biological son of Emperor Sheng Yong. It was also said that Emperor Sheng Yong once thought of abolishing the prince. Some people even said that the death of Emperor Sheng Yong might have something to do with the current emperor.

All in all, it is a sentence, the current emperor's throne is not justified by the name.

The dark tide is surging in Shengjing City.

Recently, more and more people have entered and exited the Jingwang Mansion.

These were all watched by the guards who were hiding near the Jingwang Mansion.

A list was quietly sent to Moon Shadow Villa and handed over to the emperor.

Luo Qinghan looked at the name on the list, sneered, and threw it into the brazier to burn.

He looked at Zhao Xian who was kneeling on the ground and asked in a deep voice.

"Is there still no response from Fengyang County?"

Zhao Xian: "Not yet."

Luo Qinghan: "Keep watching, and notify me as soon as there is news."

"Here!"

…………

Good morning everyone~

The fierce girl wept, just to ask for a monthly pass!
