When we came out of the hunting palace, it was already dark.
Prince Dingguo glanced at the bonfire lit outside the hunting palace with squinting eyes. The corners of his lips curled up slightly and he said, "It's getting late, let's go home!"
Wang Tao and Gao Bin have been imprisoned, and the rest of their accomplices have also been arrested by General Yulinwei and Xia Yu. The hunting palace has come to an end, but the chaos in the capital and Jingzhou is still waiting for them.
They go and solve it.
It was better to say that Emperor Zhengxuan was better, but at this critical moment, he fainted again.
Lu Shen nodded and was about to speak when he saw three ministers walking towards them in a hurry.
"Dad!" As soon as he saw the official official, Shi Qi immediately ran towards him.
God knows what he just went through!
The commander of the Jin Yiwei was tied up and imprisoned. In order to prevent him from resisting, Prince Dingguo even removed his arm. Also, the young man from the Xu Mansion who once threw off his jade pendant turned out to be the one who tampered with His Majesty's saddle.
Human, and he just wanted to kill the king...
Thinking of this, Shi Qi felt like he was trembling all over.
He is just an ignorant and dandy brother. He really doesn’t want to know about these murders and treasons!
"Xiao Qi, are you okay?" Seeing the panic in Shi Qi's eyes, Shi Bin felt distressed in his heart.
Shi Qi hurriedly shook his head. He pulled Shi Bin's sleeve and said hurriedly, "Dad, I want to go home. Let's go home quickly!"
Shi Bin frowned. Although he felt sorry for his son, in this situation, he could still prioritize things clearly. "Xiao Qi, how about you go back first? Dad still has things to deal with."
"Dad..."
"Shi Qi, how about I take you back?" At this time, Xiao Mubei stood up and said with a smile on his face.
Looking at Xiao Mubei's face with a smirk, Shi Qi's face darkened. He glared at Xiao Mubei and said, "No need, I will leave by myself!" After saying that, he glared at Xiao Mubei fiercely.
, and then left quickly.
Seeing Shi Qi leaving on his own, Shi Bin breathed a long sigh of relief. He hurriedly walked to Prince Dingguo and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Commander Wang was arrested by His Majesty's order?"
Hearing Shi Bin ask about this and seeing the two ministers looking at him, Prince Dingguo couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Finally, he nodded solemnly, "It's a long story! How come?
Sir, have you discussed the matter in Jingzhou?"
Seeing that Prince Dingguo's words were as good as those he had not said, several ministers became a little anxious.
Liao Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was the first to stand up. He said, "Your Majesty, how about this, let's find a place to have a good talk! In this situation, we have to come up with a charter!"
Whether it is Beijing or Jingzhou, the sooner they make a decision, the better for them, otherwise, if it is delayed...
He was afraid that not only Jingzhou would not be able to be saved, but even the capital city would be...
"Dad, why don't you and the adults go talk first, and I'll go back with A-Zhan and Prince Xiao first." Seeing that several ministers were worried, Lu Shen said in time.
"That's fine, then you should be careful on the way back." Prince Dingguo said with some worry.
"Son, I know." Lu Shen smiled and agreed. Finally, he saluted the prince Dingguo, and then he, Lu Zhan, Xiao Mubei, and several other ministers saluted, and then the three of them saluted.
Only then walked out of the hunting palace.
"It's only a few steps from here to the camp of Duke Dingguo. The prince must have been overly worried!" Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment said with a smile.
After hearing Zhang Shangshu's words, Prince Dingguo sighed softly and said, "Although the road is not far, who knows who is hiding in the darkness! Zhang Shangshu, Jin Yiwei has made such a big noise, how can you
Don't tell me you don't know!"
Zhang Shangshu's face froze slightly.
He had come in a hurry with two other ministers just to find out the truth of the matter.
But in the blink of an eye, how could Commander Wang of the Jin Yiwei be imprisoned and investigated? And General Ying An of the Yulin Guard personally led a team with Jin Yiwei Xia Qianhu to capture Wang Tao's accomplices.
"Master Zhang, this is not the place to talk. Let's go to my place together! I'll ask someone to make tea and we'll discuss it again! What do you think?" Shi Bin said at the right time.
Like Zhang Shangshu, he was eager to know what happened in the hunting palace this afternoon.
"Okay! Let's go then!" Prince Dingguo waved his hand and immediately agreed readily.
As soon as Lu Zhan and his party left the hunting palace, Lu Zhan immediately stopped and said, "You go back first."
Xiao Mubei's eyebrows twisted at first, and then the corners of his lips immediately raised into a smirk, "Why, you want to see your wife so late?"
Before Lu Zhan could speak, Lu Shen couldn't help but frowned and called him, "Abei, be careful what you say."
Although His Majesty has granted marriage to A Zhan and Xie Wu, the two have not yet gotten married. If Prince Xiao calls him this, it will be detrimental to Xie Wu's reputation.
If Lu Zhan said this, Xiao Mubei would definitely refute it, but if it were Lu Shen...
Xiao Mubei touched the tip of his nose, feeling guilty and silent.
"Okay, Brother Shu is still waiting for me, I'm going back first." Lu Shen gave Lu Zhan a gentle look, then turned around and left.
Looking at Lu Shen's slender back, Xiao Mubei tilted his head and leaned towards Lu Zhan. He said, "Lu Er, tell me, what did your brother mean by what he just said?"
Lu Zhan's eyebrows twisted slightly, and his narrow black eyes looked at Xiao Mubei with some displeasure.
Xiao Mubei withdrew his hand from Lu Zhan's shoulder and said, "I don't mean anything else, I just think, your brother seems to care about your wife!" After saying that, he also
Before Lu Zhan could smile back, he jumped up and ran away while laughing.
Looking at Xiao Mubei's cheerful back, Lu Zhan fell into a rare silence.
I don’t mean anything else, I just think, your brother seems to care about your wife...
He is more than caring about him?
He still remembers the look in his eyes when he came to pay homage to Ah Wu after her death, full of pity and regret...
He will always remember what he said to him at that time. He said, A Zhan, it would have been better if I had agreed to this marriage earlier.
It was precisely because of these that he stopped early in this life and told him early that the girl he admired was her.
The sky is getting darker and darker, the half-waning moon pokes its head out from the clouds, the stars in the sky gradually open their eyes, the lights of thousands of houses gradually light up, and in the distance, the smell of food floats along the night wind.
Lu Zhan chuckled lightly, and then walked towards a bright tent in the distance with determined steps.
When Lu Zhan came in, Xie Wu was sitting under the lamp sewing with needle and thread.
Xie Xu scratched his clothes while helping Grandma Luo carry firewood at noon, so Xie Wu was helping him mend them with needle and thread.
The warm candlelight shone on her face as bright as a crescent moon, making her whole body exude warmth. Lu Zhan only took one look and immediately fell to the ground in a daze.
In his memory, he seemed to have never seen Xie Wu holding a needle and thread.
"Sister." In the end, it was Xie Xu's voice that broke the peace of the room.
Hearing the sound, Xie Wu raised her head with a smile and saw that Lu Zhan was also there. The smile on her lips froze slightly, but after only a moment, Xie Xu had already jumped up to Xie Wu and said, "Sister, my clothes
Is it sewn?"
"Okay, there are still the last few stitches." Xie Wu responded with a smile, then lowered her head and quickly finished it. At the end, she used scissors to twist the thread, "Okay, take a look."
Xie Xu happily took the clothes and put them on. Looking at the torn hem, Xie Wu used green thread to embroider a green bamboo. He couldn't help but curved his lips and smiled and said, "Sister, your embroidery is so beautiful! It's better than Niang's embroidery."
It’s pretty good looking!”
Xie Wu curled her lips and smiled, "As long as you like it."
"I like it! I like it!" Xie Xu nodded repeatedly. At the end, he suddenly thought of Lu Zhan who came in with him, so he hurriedly smiled and said to Xie Wu, "Sister, my brother-in-law is here to see you, so I won't
Sorry to bother you!" After saying that, he laughed, turned around and walked out of the tent. When he passed by Mi Yue, he didn't forget to pull her out with him.
Lu Zhan smiled lightly. He raised his feet and calmly walked to sit next to Xie Wu. Finally, he looked at Xie Wu with a smile and said, "Wu, it turns out that you can also sew and thread!"
"Otherwise?" Xie Wu asked with the corners of her lips raised.
Looking at Xie Wu's cold eyebrows, Lu Zhan smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, you have always known how to do it. Back then, you even gave me a purse!"
But after that, he never received anything from her again, and she never touched needlework again.
Xie Wu frowned and looked at Lu Zhan strangely.
So good, why did Lu Zhan bring up the past again?
Lu Zhan seemed not to notice Xie Wu's frown. He looked at Xie Wu and suddenly said, "Ah Wu, please embroider another purse for me!"
Xie Wu was stunned for a moment.
"Ah Wu, embroider another purse for me!" Seeing that Xie Wu didn't respond, Lu Zhan couldn't help but repeat what he just said.
Seeing the pleading in Lu Zhan's eyes, Xie Wu couldn't help but frown slightly again, "Lu Zhan, what are you doing? What happened?"
Lu Zhan didn't know what was happening to him.
Maybe it was because Xiao Mubei's words just reminded him of the past, or maybe it was because he saw Xie Wu picking up needlework again to sew clothes for Xie Xu. He only knew that he desperately wanted Xie Wu to embroider a purse for him...
It was as if, as if she had embroidered this purse, they could start over.
"Ah Wu..."
"Suiyu just said that Wang Tao has been arrested by the Yulin Guards?" Xie Wu looked at Lu Zhan and said softly.
Seeing Xie Wu stop talking, Lu Zhan lowered his eyes and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
How could he still deceive her into looking at him the way she did in the beginning? Even their marriage was planned by him. Ah Wu, Ah Wu, she just didn't refuse...
Or maybe, it's just that I don't refuse now.
Although Lu Zhan felt bitter at the moment, when faced with Xie Wu's question, he had to nod his head, "Yes, I have revealed to His Majesty the secret contact between him and Xu Shoufu."
"Then what are you going to do next?" Xie Wu continued to ask.
The reason why Lu Zhan's strategy was successful was because the prince and Xu Shoufu did not know about the attack on Emperor Zhengxuan for the time being, and they were convicted before they could react. However, two days had passed since the incident.
I believe that the capital will receive the news soon! When the time comes, the crown prince and Xu Shoufu will definitely respond!
And Jingzhou!
With Jingzhou in such chaos, we must come up with regulations quickly. Otherwise, once the plague spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable!
