When the officers and soldiers rushed into the attack incense hall, the two guards had long run out of sight, leaving only Jing Feng lying on the ground.

Bu Shengyan gave the two guards a ingot of silver, which was their hard work.

"Go back to Hou's house. Don't go out recently so that you won't be seen."

The two guards accepted the silver and smiled, "we know. Thank you for your reward."

Bu Shengyan returned to the palace in a carriage and passed the loyal military general's house on the way.

She saw white lanterns hanging at the door of the general's house.

The whole loyal military general's house is gloomy.

Xiao Lingfeng was ordered to escort the winter supplies to Fengyang County. On the way, he encountered robbers. Not only the supplies were robbed, but also the people and horses escorting the supplies were killed and injured. Xiao Lingfeng's whereabouts are unknown. So far, there is no news. Many people say that he was killed by robbers and his body was taken away by wolves, so he can't find the body.

Xue's grief was compounded, and he fell ill directly.

Xiao Zhilan endured sadness to serve her mother in front of her bed.

Xiao Qiming didn't want to believe the news that his father was dead. Despite the obstruction of others, he rode his horse and took a team of guards to track down his father's whereabouts.

He returned empty handed and found nothing.

Xiao Qiming came home dejected.

The housekeeper began to let people prepare for General Xiao's funeral. White lanterns were hung at the door of the general's house.

The spy, who was watching in the dark, took this scene into his eyes and turned around to tell King Jing about these things.

The loyal military general's house has begun to prepare for the future. It must be that Xiao Lingfeng is really dead.

Xiao Qiming knelt in front of his mother's bed, banging his forehead on the ground, sobbing and pleading.

"Please take care of your mother. Although there is no father at home, there are still sons and Xiaolan. You can't stop us!"

Xue was so haggard that his eyes were red and swollen with crying that he was almost blind.

She trembled and held out her hand: "Qiming, Xiaolan, there will be only you in the future."

Xiao Qiming and Xiao Zhilan walked on their knees and held Xue's hand tightly.

The mother and son held their heads and wept bitterly.

On the third day.

The emperor still didn't return to the palace, and the rumor still didn't stop.

The people and courtiers need the emperor to give a reasonable explanation.

But the emperor never showed up, and the courtiers couldn't see anyone. They were worried. Some of them asked King Jing to go to the palace to meet the empress dowager, and then the Empress Dowager called the emperor back to the palace.

This proposal has won the support of many people.

So King Luo Yanzhi was pushed out.

He obeyed everyone's wishes and went into the palace to see the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager is obsessed with Buddhism recently and doesn't care much about things outside.

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

The Empress Dowager summoned the emperor back to the palace because of her illness.

The imperial edict was sent to Yueying villa and handed over to the emperor.

Luo QingHan just glanced at it and threw it aside.

He asked someone to put it on the chessboard and let Xi Xi play chess with him.

Xiao Xixi asked as he put pieces on the chessboard.

"How long are you going to stay here?"

Luo QingHan asked, "don't you like it here?"

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

Luo QingHan: "since it's comfortable, stay longer."

Xiao Xi saw that he was calm and calm, as if everything had been planned, so he stopped asking.

She plays chess as fast as ever. She puts her pieces wherever she wants. She doesn't need to think about it at all. She relies on intuition from beginning to end.

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

But even so, he can't guarantee to win every game. Their winning rate is basically half and half.

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

"I prefer being the chess player to being a chess player."

When he was the crown prince, he could only become a chess piece in the hands of others. He was pinched in the palm of others. His fate was completely beyond his control.

But it's different now.

He is no longer the chess piece at the mercy of others.

……

The Empress Dowager issued three successive edicts calling the emperor back to the palace, but there was no response.

This made the Empress Dowager very angry.

She called the princess to come to China and ordered with a calm face.

"The emperor lives in the moon shadow villa outside the city. Go instead of AI's family and find the emperor anyway. He is the king of a country. No matter what happens, he can't leave like this!"

Princess Hua'an answered respectfully, "here."

The next day, Princess Chang's car and horse stopped at the gate of Yueying villa.

The Emperor didn't respond much when he learned that Princess Hua'an was coming.

"Bring her in."

Duke Chang personally came forward and led Princess Hua'an into the warm Pavilion.

Princess Hua'an is 31 this year. Although she is already the mother of two children, she is still in full bloom and graceful.

She saluted the emperor.

Luo QingHan glanced at her faintly: "are you a lobbyist for the emperor's grandmother?"

Princess Hua'an smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, can you listen to me?"

Luo QingHan was silent.

Princess Hua'an looked at father-in-law Chang.

"The palace wants to say a few words to your majesty alone."

Seeing that the emperor had no objection, Duke Chang led others out of the warm Pavilion.

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

I don't know what they said at last. When the door of the warm pavilion was opened and Princess Hua'an came out, her expression was very ugly.

She ignored her father-in-law Chang, who saluted her, and left Yueying villa without looking back.

Princess Hua'an returned to the city in a carriage. When she saw the Empress Dowager in the palace, she cried.

"The son minister said everything he could say, but the Emperor didn't listen at all. He also spoke impolitely and mocked the son minister. Empress mother, although he is the emperor, the son minister is his aunt after all. How can he say that about the son Minister? Sobbing!"

When Princess Hua'an saw the emperor's final defeat, it soon spread to the palace and to the courtiers.

The courtiers felt more and more that the emperor was confused and capricious, which was not the work of the Ming emperor.

I don't know when there was a rumor in Beijing that the current emperor was not Shengyong's own son. It was also said that Shengyong had the idea of abolishing the crown prince. Some even said that Shengyong's death might have something to do with the current emperor.

In a word, the throne of today's emperor is not well-known.

The dark tide surged in Shengjing city.

Recently, more and more people have come in and out of King Jing's residence.

These were seen by the guards hiding near King Jing's residence.

A list was quietly sent to Yueying villa and handed over to the emperor.

Luo QingHan looked at the name on the list, sneered and threw it into the brazier.

He looked at Zhao Xian kneeling on one knee and asked in a deep voice.

"Is there still no reply from Fengyang County?"

Zhao Xian: "not yet."

Luo QingHan: "keep staring and inform me as soon as you have news."

"Here!"
