Chapter Nineteen: Cold
"His Royal Highness Li's suggestion, Emperor Ming will keep it in mind." Chu Ming smiled and lowered his head.
She chose the wrong person... The bloody lessons had washed her eyes clean. In this life, she would never choose the wrong person again.
"You were targeted today."
When the two left and sat down, Chu Mohan stood beside her at some point, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.
Xiao Li and Chu Yan appeared at the same time, both of them came for Marquis Zhenbei.
Chu Wanxiang was born as her niece, so she naturally had no choice but to run away.
"Your Highness," Chu Wanxiang called softly.
Her voice was so gentle, Chu Mohan's heart couldn't help but throb at this call.
"And my sister Minghuang." Xiaoyun poked her head out from behind the fourth brother and looked at her with a smile.
"Your Highness." Xiaoyun smiled with satisfaction. He was extremely grateful to this princess now.
"Princess Minghuang's demeanor is particularly dazzling today. I will be very happy to see the Marquis of Zhenbei in the future."
In his words, he had told Chu Wanxiang that the Marquis of Zhenbei was safe and sound.
"Your Highnesses, hurry up and take your seats. The Emperor will be here soon." Sun Xiurong reminded the two of them.
"That's what Teacher Xiurong said." Xiaozhan and Xiaoyun both respect Sun Xiurong.
Because Sun Taiwei served Beiling wholeheartedly, he has been working hard for Beiling's border defense and military affairs for so many years, and he is still working for Beiling now.
The two of them would naturally treat such a loyal daughter of a famous general with special attentiveness.
"The emperor has arrived."
As soon as the two of them sat down, Beiling Huang entered the venue accompanied by the queen and concubines.
"Meet Your Majesty."
Beiling Huang looked majestic and raised his hands in the air, beckoning everyone to sit down.
His eyes swept across a group of princes and royal highnesses, stopped for a moment at Chu Wanxiang's place, and then walked away.
"Today is an auspicious day for the return of Marquis Zhenbei. After another stick of incense, it's time for him to enter the palace. I haven't seen you for three years. I miss Hou Zhenbei very much. When I see him in the future, I will never be with him.
Drunk."
Beilinghuang spoke as if he really missed Zhenbeihou.
"Your Majesty is right. The Marquis of Zhenbei has been guarding the border and has been extremely stable for several years. It is true that he has achieved great achievements through hard work and has lived up to your Majesty's trust."
The queen smiled and filled Beilinghuang's glass of wine and expressed her agreement.
"I also think Mr. Hou is a rare general in Beiling. I hope Mr. Hou will enter the palace on time, and I also want to give him a few glasses of wine."
Xiao Li also looked at Beilinghuang with a smile, but there was a hint of weirdness hidden in his smile.
"Fourth brother, do you think there is something in what second brother said?"
Chu Yan heard a clue, turned sideways, and asked Chu Mohan softly.
Chu Wanxiang and Chu Mohan bumped into each other out of the corner of their eyes, and they got to know each other.
Hehe, both of them understand what Xiao Li means.
No one has entered the venue yet, except for the Marquis of Zhenbei, who is waiting for everyone, and An Guohou, who has appeared in the name of welcoming him.
Sure enough, Xiao Li asked An Guohou to ambush him just like in his previous life.
But, this time, can he really get what he wants?
Chu Wanxiang picked up the wine glass in front of him, covered his face with his wide sleeves and drank it with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
Zhou Lang said that his uncle had adopted her suggestion and made new arrangements. He also sent the details of Jiang Qiyun's torture to Anhou's barracks.
Presumably, it must be extremely difficult for An Guohou now.
My daughter is in a lot of pain. Not only can I not be able to help, but I also have to do something that is embarrassing.
No one can be at peace.
On the battlefield, the most taboo thing is instability. Tsk tsk, An Guohou, you will definitely be defeated this time.
"Report. Your Majesty, Marquis Zhen has entered the palace."
Not too early or too late, just after the time of burning incense, the news came that Marquis Zhenbei had entered the palace.
While all the officials jumped for joy, Xiao Li's expression froze.
Not only him, but the queen's face was not much better either.
"Chen, Gu Changfeng, meet your Majesty."
The Marquis of Zhenbei led two guards, strode forward, knelt in front of the hall, and greeted him loudly.
When Beilinghuang saw him, he immediately gave up his courtesy.
"The Marquis of Zhenbei has traveled a long distance. It's really hard. Get up quickly and give me your seat."
Xiao Li stared blankly at the safe and sound Marquis Zhenbei in front of him, and then quickly looked towards the palace gate, but did not see An Guohou and Chen Ping.
What happened? Didn't Chen Ping set up an ambush? Why did Hou Zhenbei return to Beijing on time?
He had discussed it with his mother. As long as there was a slight delay in Zhenbei Hou's entry into the palace, he could use this as an excuse to persuade his father to seize military power from him.
Now Zhenbei Hou entered the palace on time, but Chen Ping didn't know where he died.
The original plan was messed up, and Xiao Li was very annoyed. He just wanted to cut Chen Ping into pieces.
At this time, Chu Wanxiang saw Zhen Beihou, her heart was surging, and she was so excited that she couldn't bear it.
It feels so good to have my uncle alive right in front of me.
This eager gaze made Zhenbei Hou turn his head and saw his beloved niece, with a hint of tenderness on her resolute face.
If the niece hadn't sent a letter from thousands of miles away asking him to take a detour to counterattack, I'm afraid he would have been ambushed by Chen Ping.
"Master Hou, did you bring back one less person?"
Chu Yan leaned forward on the table, looked left and right to see if he saw Gu Lingyi, the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and smiled evilly.
It seems that my own people have succeeded. This Gu Lingyi should be in his mansion now.
Chu Mingyi raised her eyes and looked at him.
She knew very well what this man was thinking, and she sneered secretly in her heart, "Your Highness, I'm afraid things will not go as you wish."
He looked at the little guard on the right of Zhenbei Hou.
The guard took off his helmet in public, and three thousand black hair fell behind him like a waterfall, revealing a beautiful and gentle face.
Isn’t that what weird people are like?
Chu Yan's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
One's own loss.
"His Royal Highness Prince Duan is looking for a little girl."
Marquis Zhenbei stared at Chu Yan coldly.
Wan Xiang once said in his letter that in addition to Xiao Li, Xiao Yan would also take advantage of the opportunity this time.
His purpose is to kidnap Ling Yi and use her to restrain himself.
So he dressed up as a guard with his spiritual clothes and arranged for an empty carriage to accompany him.
Sure enough, when they killed An Guohou, the carriage behind them was towed away in chaos.
If Lingyi was really up there, the consequences...he didn't dare to think about it.
Marquis Zhenbei knows better than anyone what kind of person Chu Yan is.
If the spiritual clothes fall into his hands, he will definitely suffer inhuman treatment.
"This Gu Qing, what's going on?"
