Following Xiao An's order, Bai Han immediately turned around and went out. Without much effort, he brought Fang Zheng in. After Fang Zheng came in, he respectfully lifted his clothes, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed to Xiao An.
"Old minister Fang Zheng, I have seen my emperor, long live, long live, long live."
Xiao An waved his hand, "Aiqin, please get up. Why did you come to see me?"
He was originally full of confidence, but when the emperor actually asked, Fang Zheng still hesitated. He remembered what Liu Kai said to him again. Liu Xiangnan hoped that he would stop interceding for him and instead persuade the emperor to find out the source of this rumor.
.
When he thought of this, Fang Zheng clasped his fists and said, "To report to the Emperor, I think the matter concerning Lord Liu Hou is really strange. It seems like overnight, rumors have spread all over the city for ten thousand years."
"I boldly ask the emperor to order a thorough investigation into this matter to find out who is spreading the rumors."
After hearing what Fang Zheng said, Xiao An was stunned.
Obviously, these words were beyond his expectation. He originally thought that Fang Zheng was here to plead for Liu Xiangnan.
Xiao An slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, turned around from behind the desk, and came to Fang Zheng, "Aiqing, you mean that someone is framing him."
Fang Zheng couldn't tell what Xiao An's attitude was, but he still looked solemn and said solemnly, "Yes, Your Majesty, think about it why all kinds of rumors came out as soon as the Great Earth Kingdom and Dalin Kingdom withdrew their troops."
Xiao An snorted disdainfully, "There's no smoke without fire. Why don't people spread the news that your Fang Zheng intends to recruit troops? I think it's probably because you gave others a clue. I'll wait until I find out."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng felt a chill in his heart. Although he didn't say it too directly, it was obvious that the emperor rejected his suggestion. In other words, the emperor's focus was on Liu Xiangnan's plot to rebel. It was not someone who spread the word.
rumor.
In this case, what's the point of staying here by yourself any longer?
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng could only clasp his fists again, "Your Majesty, please think twice. Lord Liu is dedicated to serving the country..."
"Liu Xiangnan, the second son of Marquis Liu died in battle, and his daughter is still with the prince, fighting bravely against the enemy. This is a family full of loyalties..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao An leaned down and slapped the table.
"Enough is enough."
"The whole family is loyal, and you want to plead for him. I think Liu Rumei seems to be the spy arranged around the prince."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng was speechless for a while, but he was speechless and there was nothing he could do. After all, he was the emperor.
After leaving the palace, Fang Zheng was in a very low mood. He did not expect that in just a few days, the emperor would become like this.
Liu Rumei was also unhappy this morning. Liu Rumei was dumbfounded when she received the news from Liu Kai again.
Why didn't even the prince's letter work? Thinking of this, she hurriedly came to see the prince again and said, "Please take a look at this later."
Xiao Jingyun took the letter handed over by Liu Rumei and was stunned after reading it.
"How is this possible? I told my father..."
Halfway through his words, Jamel Xiao stopped.
He looked at Liu Rumei and said, "In this way, let's hurry up and drive forward as quickly as possible. We can enter Wannian City in three days at most."
After hearing Xiao Jingyun's words, Liu Rumei couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. In fact, he was still a little bit disappointed. Originally, he hoped that Prince Xiao Jingyun would work day and night to rush back to Wannian City to rescue his father, but Xiao Jingyun just said to move on.
I was on my way. I had no intention of walking at night.
At this moment, Liu Rumei could only express her eagerness. She cupped her fists and said, "Your Highness, please allow me to rush back in advance to make arrangements. You are welcome to return to the court."
After listening to Liu Rumei's words, Xiao Jingyun certainly understood that Liu Rumei went back in a hurry to rush himself.
Thinking of this, he changed his mind and said, "No, you come with me, we will travel day and night, and we will go back as soon as possible."
Seeing that the prince understood what she was thinking, Liu Rumei had no choice but to take a step back and said, "Ru Mei obeys the order."
Seeing Liu Rumei agreeing, Xiao Jingyun began to comfort him, "Rumei, don't be anxious when something happens, we will go back soon."
After listening to the prince's words, Liu Rumei nodded. At this time, there was no other way but to agree. The matter was already like this.
At the same time, in Hetou Village.
Feng Xiaoyue came to say goodbye to Chen Xiaobei and Cui Hongyu. Finally, at Chen Xiaobei's insistence, Cui Hongyu also gave up her plan to enter Wannian City with Chen Xiaobei and handed over this important task to Yang Zhi.
If Yang Zhi wants to return to the Great Earth Kingdom, he must pass through Wannian City, and with their skills, it will be many times safer than accompanying Chen Xiaobei.
Cui Hongyu handed the baggage in her hand to Feng Xiaoyue and said with an affectionate expression, "Sister Xiaoyue, come back early after you finish your work. We all miss you!"
Feng Xiaoyue nodded vigorously, "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely come back!"
Yang Zhi and Yang Chun also came forward to say goodbye to Chen Xiaobei.
Seeing the two brothers in high spirits, Chen Xiaobei was actually very happy. After all, they were far away from home in Hetou Village. Being able to return to the Great Earth Country was considered a return home for wanderers.
Going home is a happy thing after all.
Chen Xiaobei told Yang Zhi patiently, "Brother Yang Zhi, you must send Miss Xiaoyue to the old Prime Minister's Mansion."
Yang Zhi nodded, "Don't worry, I will naturally handle your future affairs smoothly."
At this time, someone helped Raldo, who was recovering from a serious injury, come over. After passing by, Raldo gave Chen Xiaobei a respectful salute, "Thank you, brother Xiaobei. If it hadn't been for your help, I would have confessed."
It’s on Qingniu Mountain.”
Chen Xiaobei hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "You are so polite, Gang Leader. If you come to Dacang Country again in the future, you must remember to come and sit here with me."
Raldo nodded, took off a ring from his thumb, and put it on Chen Xiaobei's finger.
"Our Suzaku Gang still has some property in Wannian City. If brother Xiaobei can go to Wannian City in the future, he can go to Ma Market to meet my brother Lamu for a drink."
Of course Chen Xiaobei understood what Lardo meant, that if he encountered any situation in Wannian City, he could go to his brother Lamu for help.
After saying goodbye, Raldo greeted everyone and started to leave.
At the entrance of Hetou Village, Liu Ce, Liu Tie and others also brought people to see him off. After all, they had spent time together day and night, and their relationship was quite harmonious.
Yang Zhi came to Liu Ce and bowed, "Steward Liu, we will see you later."
Liu Ce raised his hand and patted Yang Zhi on the shoulder, "Good brother, take care along the way. See you soon."
Then he looked at Yang Chun and said, "If anything happens, remember to send us a message."
Laldo, Xiaoyue and others came forward to say goodbye one by one. The atmosphere at the scene seemed a little sad.
Watching them walk away, Cui Hongyu sighed slightly and looked at Chen Xiaobei with a hint of regret.
"Brother Xiaobei, are you really not planning to go to the capital?"
