Chapter 357 Fire at the city gate, bringing disaster to Chiyu
The Duke of Guo on the side also got the letter, and without saying anything, he stood up and walked out.
Luo Yuanliang took a look and realized that the people in the palace were addicted to bullying his little sister. They summoned her at every turn and were secretly doing evil things.
Can't stand it, absolutely can't stand it.
Following his father, he also crossed the threshold.
When Xiao Mingxuan saw the Duke and his son leaving the house, he explained it and followed him out of the house.
Pei Tingsong sighed helplessly, and the officials of the three law departments were stunned.
This is great, but why did those three leave just as soon as they said they were leaving?
Outside Dali Temple, Duke Guo and Luo Yuanliang were about to get on their horses when they saw Xiao Mingxuan also walking out.
"Your Majesty."
Xiao Mingxuan looked at the father and son with an indifferent tone.
"Is the Duke returning home?"
The Duke wanted to speak, but Luo Yuanliang beat him to it.
"Go back to your lord, my father and I will go back to the house to see my little sister."
Xiao Mingxuan said:
"As ministers, you should know that the harem has not been summoned and no outsiders are allowed to enter."
"Even if I go back home now, I can only give a few instructions, but I can't do anything substantial."
Xiao Mingxuan said, looking at the Duke.
"My lord, the emperor has given us a time limit. We must find out the murderer of Hu Hongzhi within the time limit. We also ask our lord to put his mind into the investigation to prevent outsiders from making random arrangements."
"As for Li'er?"
Xiao Mingxuan watched Qin Yin drive the carriage over.
"My princess, it's not her turn to discipline her yet."
As he said that, he got on the carriage.
Duke Guo:......
Luo Yuanliang:......
"Father, the direction the prince is going seems to be our Duke's Mansion."
The Duke of Guo sniffed. Although he was very happy that the Nine Kings cared so much about his daughter, why did he feel such a sense of loss in his heart?
He looked back at his son, who seemed to be worry-free but was actually the least worried about emotions.
"After the new year, if you don't marry me a daughter-in-law, I will ask your mother to hold a blind date banquet in the house."
Ga!
Luo Yuanliang suddenly stood on the spot.
Watching my father turn around and enter Dali Temple, my feet were as heavy as dragging stones.
"The city gate is on fire and the fish in the pond are affected. Why should I go out with you?"
"Winter."
He looked behind him.
"Son."
Close guard Lin Dong stepped forward.
"Go to the academy to see when the second young master will come back. It's almost the twelfth lunar month. If he doesn't come back, will he wait to celebrate the New Year in the academy?"
Lin Dong touched his nose and cursed in his heart.
Will the return of the Second Young Master change your situation, Young Master? The eldest Young Master, the Youngest Young Master of the Duke's Mansion, and the future heir to the title.
Hooking your fingers, why would you hang yourself on a tree without a large group of noble ladies from the capital jumping up? The key is that the tree is not a precious flower species.
Luo Yuanliang saw Lin Dong with his head lowered, holding his sword and standing aside with a blank expression. He was quite capable of these two door gods.
"What are you thinking about? Did you hear me?"
Winter's body tensed up.
"I heard it."
"If you hear this, hurry up and go."
"yes."
Lingdong staggered and turned around and ran away.
Luo Yuanliang tidied up his appearance and entered Dali Temple.
At the same time, the Changchun Palace in the imperial city.
Wearing a white robe and cloak, with a sword on his waist, Chongyang Hou had a cold and somewhat arrogant face.
He led a medium-to-thin bodyguard into the gate of Changchun Palace in a swaggering manner.
After entering the Changchun Palace, Marquis Chongyang did not go to the dormitory, but walked around the long corridor to the back of the dormitory, and stopped outside the Buddhist hall where the Queen Mother worshiped the Buddha.
"You wait."
Marquis Chongyang did not look back, but his tone was obviously directed at the person behind him.
"yes."
Behind him, although the guard was dressed in men's clothing, his voice was soft and clear as a woman's.
Chongyang Hou took a step forward and entered the Buddhist hall.
At this time, the Queen Mother was in front of the Buddha statue, with her hands clasped together and her eyes closed, not knowing what wish she was making.
Marquis Chongyang looked at the green hairpin accompanying him.
Green Hairpin shook his head slightly, and Chongyang Hou stood aside and waited.
Not long after, the Queen Mother opened her eyes. Although she did not look back, she seemed to be aware that there were more people around her.
"You're here?"
"Queen Mother."
Marquis Chongyang stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help the Queen Mother.
"Where are the people?"
The Queen Mother looked unhappy, looked tired, and her eyes were bloodshot. It seemed that she had aged several years overnight.
"Go back to the Queen Mother and wait outside."
"Um."
The Queen Mother looked at the green hairpin calmly and nodded slightly.
Green Hairpin understood and turned around to open the side door of the Buddhist hall. The side door was connected to another room. As Green Hairpin twisted the blue and white porcelain vase in the room, a secret door appeared behind the wall.
"Bring her in."
——
At this time, at the gate of Fuquyuan, Luo Jiuli was persuading his mother with earnest words.
"Mother, according to the royal rules, courtiers are not allowed to enter the imperial city unless they are summoned. You...even if you arrive at the palace gate wearing a royal uniform, you will be stopped by the palace guard."
"Then, then I will kneel at the palace gate."
Her daughter was murdered by the royal family time and time again, and she was already in a state of disgrace.
Luo Jiuli was moved and helpless, and stepped forward to hug his mother.
The mother's love that I had never felt in my previous life was actually given back by God in this life. This feeling of being held in the palm of someone's hand is really damn good.
"Don't worry, mother, I have the ability to protect myself now. What's more, I have made an engagement with the Nine Princes. After the engagement, I have even chosen the date of the application period. In name, I am already the wife of the Nine Princes. The Queen Mother is here to see
In front of the Ninth Prince, you don’t dare to do anything to me.”
"But……"
"Li'er is right. She is already my wife. With me here, it is not anyone's turn to teach her."
Behind him, Xiao Mingxuan's tall and tall body came slowly in the white snow. His face, as calm and calm as a mountain, showed a kind of strength and indifference at all times, automatically cutting off everyone's approach, but only in front of him.
When he saw Luo Jiuli, he let go of his fierce and murderous spirit.
When the Duke's wife saw the Nine Kings coming, she quickly let go of her daughter's hand and was about to salute.
"No gift, madam."
Xiao Mingxuan raised his hand lightly.
Luo Jiuli looked over and asked:
"My lord, why are you here? You are not at Dali Temple--"
"The imperial brother summoned me. I happened to hear that you were also going to the palace, so I came to pick you up and go with you."
When Luo Jiuli heard this, he raised his lips and smiled.
This excuse was a timely reassurance for my mother.
"That's just right."
He said and looked at his mother.
"Mother, with the prince here, mother can rest assured."
"Don't worry, don't worry."
The Duke's wife nodded, looking embarrassed.
Although having the prince follow him is more reassuring than having her follow him.
But this time the Queen Mother's call was different from the past.
Xiao Mingxuan looked relieved at the Duke's wife, but his face did not relax for a moment.
"Madam, don't worry, I and Li'er will go together and come back together."
