Donggong Zhangjiao

Chapter 238 Once Found, Kill It Immediately!
After Li Mu's downfall, only Lu Chuan remained among the original left and right prime ministers.

Now it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the leader among the courtiers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is under one man and above ten thousand.

In addition, Lu Chuan's sentences are reasonable at the moment, and they are even more persuasive, so Emperor Chengjing had no choice but to agree even if he was unwilling in his heart.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister Lu. I will definitely send people to search and rescue the prince with all my strength. If there is anything wrong with the prince, I will have no face to face the late emperor and ancestors."

"The emperor is wise!" Lu Chuan immediately bowed his hands in a respectful gesture, and followed closely, "The Commander of the Kyoto Guard knows Hu Daixu, and he is cautious. I think it is very appropriate to send him to lead people to search and rescue the Crown Prince."

Hearing this, Empress Li immediately winked at King Ming.

The latter understood, and hurriedly said to Emperor Chengjing.

"Father, my son is also willing to take people to search and rescue. The crown prince is my elder brother, so my son is also very worried."

After he finished speaking, the princess stepped forward and spoke softly.

"Prince Ming has good intentions, but now that His Highness is not sure about his safety, the emperor and empress are already so worried, how can His Highness be put in danger again? Mr. Hu is loyal and reliable, and it is enough for him to go. Besides, why did this horse suddenly go crazy? It’s not yet known, and investigation is still needed.”

The horses suddenly started to go crazy on the bridge, knocking over the carriage next to it, and crashing the bridge. First, the carriages of Pei Yao, Fang Yun, and Hu Liangdi rushed down through the gap, and then a few more overturned.

That is to say, the guards reacted quickly and jumped down to save people in time, otherwise there would be many casualties.

The maid named Xiao Rong next to Hu Liangdi has not been picked up, and the others have not been counted yet.

It is impossible not to investigate such a big change.

As for how to investigate, Empress Li, the third princess, King Ming, and even Emperor Chengjing are all objects of suspicion.

So when the princess mentioned the investigation, everyone's mood still changed.

Empress Li looked at the Crown Princess, and after a while, glanced at King Ming again, and whispered to Emperor Chengjing.

"Your Majesty, what the Crown Princess said is justified. The people in Jingduwei will definitely not be bad. You just need to deploy more people. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let King Ming escort you back to the palace first."

Emperor Chengjing is also suffering from a headache at the moment, wishing to escape immediately, he can't see and feel at peace.

After all, the relationship between him and Pei Yao is special. It’s good that Pei Yao made a mistake and was abolished. Emperor Cheng Jing always felt that the world would put the hat of murdering the prince directly on his head, and even dirty water could not wash it off. .

So when he saw Lu Chuan, he felt a little guilty.

So she nodded, "Okay, just follow what the queen said."

"It is indeed better for the emperor to return to the palace earlier. The on-site search and rescue of His Royal Highness should be left to the minister. If the princess is injured, the minister can also accompany her." Lu Chuan suggested.

Emperor Chengjing frowned, he didn't quite know how to make a decision at this time.

He was confused.

He wanted to take this opportunity to really wipe out Pei Yao completely, but he also thought about his good reputation and didn't want to lose it later.

Under such a contradiction, he turned his head to look at Queen Li, but Rui Concubine who was standing on the other side of him immediately said in a charming voice.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lu is an important minister in the court, and he handles things safely. He is also the father-in-law of His Highness the Crown Prince. If you entrust this matter to him, you must do your best to save others from meddling and causing criticism. Your Majesty, you should return to the palace quickly. If something like this happened to the crown prince, you must be well, this concubine is really terrified in her heart!"

When she said this, Ruipin looked uneasy, just like a frightened little white rabbit.

Rao has already given birth to a child, and her softness as a woman from the Jiangnan Water Village has not diminished at all.

Emperor Chengjing felt distressed seeing it, he was already at a loss, and he didn't bother to think about it, so he agreed with a big wave of his hand.

"Okay, leave this matter to Prime Minister Lu. I will go back to the palace first."

Empress Li frowned, but she still didn't open her mouth after all.

But after Emperor Chengjing got into the carriage, he turned around and said to Ruipin coldly.

"The harem is not allowed to meddle in politics, Concubine Rui, don't break the rules."

"Xie Niangniang for reminding, when the concubine saw the empress intervening, he thought that this rule was gone."

Rui Pin hooked the corners of her lips, answered casually, turned around and got into her own carriage.

The third princess stood beside Empress Li, gritted her teeth and said, "This coquettish fox is so bold!"

"Your father dotes on her, there is something she dare not do." Empress Li snorted coldly, then lowered her voice, "The prince's business is more important now, go and ask your brother to come to the palace carriage to discuss important matters. "

The third princess nodded and left quickly.

Not long after, King Ming got into the queen's carriage.

"Empress Mother, the servants have already sent people to hunt down and kill the prince, but no one has come back yet, so I don't know what the situation is." King Ming came up and said.

Empress Li nodded, "This is God helping me. I just wanted to overturn the carriage and make the Fang family suffer. I didn't expect the crown prince to get into Fang's carriage. Hmph, this is a self-inflicted trap."

Originally, Empress Li and the third princess were outraged and wanted to teach Fang Yun a lesson, so they planned the frightened and maddened horse this time.

But I didn't expect that the control of the matter was not as good as expected, and it was so serious that it crashed the stone bridge railing, causing the carriage to fall into the water.

But there is also a surprise, that is, Pei Yao, who was able to escape the catastrophe by staying in his own carriage, went to Fang Yun's carriage.

This is a great opportunity to keep silent and get rid of Pei Yao.

Now no one cares about Fang Yun's life and death, Pei Yao, a big fish, has become their new focus.

Just because she found that Pei Yao was also in the car and fell into the water with Fang Yun, when the other guards jumped into the river to save them, Empress Li quickly secretly ordered King Ming to send his men to leave secretly in order to intercept and kill him. .

After all, no matter what, the guards have to go ashore first to save the Master, and they can do it when they pretend to respond.

That's why Pei Yao became vigilant immediately when he saw the four guards coming.

Because he had seen one or two of these faces beside King Ming.

Pei Yao is worried about King Ming's people.

But at this moment, the mother and son didn't know that the four guards were dead, so they were still plotting.

"But Queen Mother, Prime Minister Lu wanted to investigate the shocking horse, so he sent Hu Daixu to search and rescue the Crown Prince. Hu Daixu's younger sister is Prince Xinna's Liangdi, so he must be facing the Crown Prince." Ming Wang frowned.

"So you have to be ahead of him, find the prince first, and kill him!"

Empress Li's eyes were cold and murderous.

"This is a unique and good opportunity. We must seize it. Hu Daixu has already returned to the city to serve as an errand. It will take time for him to arrive. The people who are currently searching for the prince are still accompanied by our guards under the command of Lu Chuan. , you should still have more than an hour."

After King Ming heard this, he immediately nodded heavily, and when he was about to get up, Empress Li tightly pinched his wrist.

Turning around, I saw Empress Li looking at him solemnly, saying every word.

"Remember, find Pei Yao and kill him immediately. Don't hesitate to be soft-hearted. Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. Reputation and face are secondary. When you sit on the throne, the future history and calligraphy are all up to you. Indecisive like your father!"

"My son, remember, don't worry, the queen mother!"

The ambition in King Ming's eyes jumped vigorously, he immediately jumped off the carriage and called his confidant attendants.

And at this moment, following behind, King Dun's carriage frame and a corner of the curtain of that carriage were also quietly put down after King Ming left Empress Li's carriage.
