Chapter 310 Messengers from the Four Kingdoms, come to Beijing without an audience
Late that night, two corpses, an old man and a young man, were found in the palace. They were only wrapped in straw mats and transported out of the palace.
With a snap, one of the corpse's arms slipped out of the trailer. When the corpse carrier lowered his head, he saw that the muscles and bones of the wrist were exposed, bloody and bloody, and it was horrible to look at. He didn't know how it was worn like that.
I had no choice but to stuff it into the straw mat again. Apart from disgust and couldn't bear to look at me, I had no more sympathy.
Others don't know, how could those who do this kind of corpse transporting work not know that the corpses that can be transported out of the palace dungeon are all serious criminals who intend to usurp the throne or assassinate the royal family.
The corpse transporter finally pushed the truck to the mass grave, lifted the handle of the trailer with all his strength. The two corpses slid down, and wild dogs and wolves would smell the smell and come to clean up the mess.
The corpse carrier patted the stains on his hands and called it a day!
In the palace, the candlelight in the emperor's chamber was flickering, and the emperor was still practicing calligraphy.
Eunuch Fu could naturally sense that the emperor was in a gloomy mood. But it was too late, so he had to step forward to remind him.
"Your Majesty, it's already midnight. It's time for you to rest."
The emperor didn't respond. Eunuch Fu lowered his eyes and saw that what the emperor was practicing was actually the character "xiao".
The Xiao family was completely defeated and took away the emperor's fifth prince.
"Your Majesty, you still have so many filial princes and princesses. You must take care of your dragon body."
The emperor sighed. The royal family has always been ruthless since ancient times. It was not until this moment that he deeply realized the pain of losing a son. It was definitely not something he thought he could offset by being calm and self-possessed.
After all, it was his bloodline. No matter how bad things were, I had a fight with his father and son.
However, the emperor also knew that he had to let Jun Lingyun avenge his mother's murder and completely let go. Otherwise, it would be a more serious matter for a country's crown prince to harbor resentment.
If the underground Jun Hongyan knew better, he would probably laugh wildly again. What a father-son fight. If he hadn't had a fight with the emperor and his son, he wouldn't have lived his whole life as someone else's pawn, and ended up being thrown into the wilderness with no bones left.
’s tragic ending.
The emperor had no sleep all night, standing outside the palace gate, watching the sky turn white again, as if a long reincarnation had passed.
The emperor closed his eyes and felt the morning sun, which was not yet hot. It seemed that everything last night had passed away with the rise of the new sun.
No one can shake the passage of time, and no one can shake his determination to strengthen Yunxiao Kingdom, not even his son.
The emperor returned to the palace, raised his hand, and signaled Eunuch Fu to wait for him to change clothes. He was going to the morning court!
The emperor originally thought that the envoys from the four countries would go to court to see him today after receiving the customs clearance documents. Unexpectedly, not only was there no news of the envoys at the court, but Jun Lingyun did not even go to court.
The emperor thought for a moment and realized that Jun Lingyun must have gone to investigate the matter of the envoys from the four countries coming to Beijing.
"Come, please invite the envoys from the four countries into the palace."
He had to meet the envoys before he could find out what the four countries were thinking.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The little eunuch trotted to summon him.
The courtiers began to whisper among themselves.
"Envoys from the four countries? When did they come? Why didn't we hear the news?"
"Yes, are you here to congratulate His Royal Highness on his wedding?"
"Do you think the current situation is suitable for the five countries to gather together?"
"Indeed it's not, then why?"
The emperor sat on the dragon throne and did not stop him because he also wanted to know why.
Just when the courtiers' legs were feeling a little sore from standing, the little eunuch finally came back. However, his face was really not very pretty.
"Your Majesty, my servant, my servant failed to invite me here. I beg your Majesty to punish me."
The emperor's brows furrowed, and the young eunuch quickly explained.
"Your Majesty, the envoys from the four countries all said that they were tired of traveling and traveling, and that they were not acclimatized to the climate. Today, they will report to the Emperor and make some repairs. Tomorrow, they will attend the wedding of His Highness the Crown Prince."
The main hall, which was originally noisy, fell silent immediately. The envoys from the four countries were slapping the emperor in the face and promoting the prince.
Isn’t this, isn’t this trying to sow discord, and his intentions are worthy of death? Are you really here to congratulate His Royal Highness on his wedding, aren’t you looking for trouble?
The ministers all understood the truth, but the emperor did not. His face was gloomy, but after all, he was the envoy of the four countries, and it was not easy for him to kidnap people and question them.
I had to suppress my anger.
"In that case, let the imperial doctor take the pulse of the envoys and treat him well. See you tomorrow, the same thing."
The emperor's tone was tepid, and he didn't seem to be angry. But some courtiers secretly raised their eyes to look at the emperor's face, which could only be described as livid.
"If you have something to report, please leave the court if there is nothing to do."
…
In the East Palace, Bai Xiao, who had been running around all night, was reporting to Jun Lingyun.
"Master, according to the observations of my subordinates, they did bring gifts, and they did not secretly bring more people. Each person only brought two or three expert guards. It doesn't seem to have any other actions."
Not here to cause trouble? Jun Lingyun felt that something was fishy, and he couldn't figure out what conspiracy was hidden behind it?
Bai Xiao continued his analysis:
"The strange thing is that after they entered the capital, they just found an inn and settled down safely. Even when summoned by the emperor, they did not go to the court to pay homage. It seems that they are not here to curry favor with the Yunxiao Kingdom, but rather they are here for their master.
.”
Acting like this is really puzzling. Jun Lingyun frowned and thought deeply, what was the reason for bringing the envoys from the four countries to the capital of Yunxiao Kingdom at the same time?
He is not so conceited as to think that his wedding can attract congratulations from the five countries.
Tomorrow is the day of his wedding to Xi'er. Since he doesn't have time to investigate in detail, he can only make complete preparations and say hello to General Chu.
Jun Lingyun came out of the East Palace. Along the way, there were palace servants busy hanging red silk and placing flowers. He couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed and went to General Chu's Mansion.
Chu Yunxi came back from Mrs. Chu's place, holding a small bundle tightly in her arms, as if she was afraid that others would see the items inside.
When she returned to her boudoir, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hexiang, Xiaolian, I want to eat the pastries from Chunhui Tower. Go and get some for me."
"Miss, I can go by myself. Let Sister Hexiang stay with you."
Xiaolian took the initiative to ask for help.
"Just go together if I ask you to go together. It's so chaotic outside now, so go together so we can take care of you."
The two of them were pulled out by Chu Yunxi. They looked at each other and were both a little confused. When was the chaos outside? Why didn't they know?
But since the young lady has spoken, they should go back quickly. Chunhui Tower is not far away anyway.
When Chu Yunxi saw the two of them leaving the yard, she carefully closed the door and gently opened the package she got back from Mrs. Chu.
There is a picture album of little people lying quietly inside.
Chu Yunxi sat at the table, gently opened the first page, and couldn't help but open her eyes wider.
She had never seen anything like this in her two lifetimes. She closed the picture album with a snap. Her face was already red. But she remembered her mother's words again.
"If your daughter's family doesn't know how to cooperate, she will be easily hurt for the first time. Watch it behind closed doors for yourself. Don't be shy. Women have to go through this. You must watch it."
