Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 1256 Enlightenment

Three days later, Lu Baichuan took his parents and the Yu family back to the capital. Before that, he did not send a message to the capital, but those who followed his whereabouts were still aware of it.

Concubine Hui's mother's family name is Duan, and Duan Shijie, Concubine Hui's brother, is now the head of the family.

The concubine Duan Feng found out was Duan Shijie's son.

Although it was done by a concubine, it is impossible for Duan Shijie, as a leader, not to know about any rumors. Without his permission, how could Duan Feng, a little concubine, have the ability and ability to do this?
Lu Baichuan was too lazy to argue with a bastard who was scapegoated. From the beginning of his departure, he asked his people to explore what was going on in the capital. This time he would not cause trouble in the capital when he returned. His surname was not Lu.

On the other side, various forces in the capital have indeed received the news that Lu Baichuan is coming back. On the surface, Lu Baichuan is sending his parents back, but everyone knows that something will happen to him when he goes back.

As for what happened, only the person involved knows.

In the Yong'an Hou Mansion of Concubine Hui's mother's house, Duan Feng was walking outside Duan Shijie's study. He came to see his father several times, but his father was always busy and did not want to see him, so he could only wait outside.

After a long time, the door of the study room was finally opened, and Duan Shijie came out. Duan Feng hurriedly followed his pace.

"Father, my son just received the news that Lu Baichuan is returning to the capital. He must have found us. If he really returns to the capital, he will definitely not give up. What should we do now?"

Duan Shijie was really disgusted by his panic, but thinking that he was still his son after all, and he would need to take care of this matter later, he still said patiently: "Calm down, look at you like this, how can others still do it?" Without any doubt, you exposed yourself first!"

"You said you won't do anything until he comes back, so let's not let him come back. Do you still need me to teach you?"

Duan Feng was stunned. His father asked him to send a killer on the road to solve this hidden danger.

But it’s not like this killer has never been sent before, and he never succeeded even once.

Even the masters his father had trained for many years, Qian Da and the four of them, all disappeared, so they must be gone. Who else could be sent?

"But his skills are extraordinary..."

Duan Shijie glanced at him, hating that iron cannot be made into steel: "Two fists are hard to beat with four hands, wouldn't it be good to send a few more people? He brought a bunch of oil bottles on this trip, and the woman Jiang Jiu Niang didn't follow, so it was easier to deal with than before. It’s a lot, do you still need me to teach you?”

These words inspired Duan Feng, and he said excitedly: "Dad, what do you mean, do you want to attack those two immortals from the Lu family?"

Duan Shijie glanced at him and said nothing, acquiescing.

"My son understands, I will never let dad down this time!"

Duan Feng left excitedly, and the person next to Duan Shijie asked in a low voice: "Master, how many people do you want to arrange for the Fourth Young Master?"

Duan Shijie had a cold face after Duan Feng left. Now when he heard the staff ask this, he immediately said: "There is no need to be meddlesome. You should always pay attention to the situation. If anything happens, just abandon him."

The staff immediately understood that he had no intention of protecting his son from the beginning, and sighed inwardly at his cruelty, secretly sweating.

But with a calm expression on his face, he replied: "Yes." Duan Feng didn't know that he had become his father's abandoned son. He was full of joy and found someone to assassinate him. He did everything personally and worked extremely hard.

At this time, the palace also knew about Lu Baichuan's return, and the emperor was extremely worried.

He was the most well-informed. He had received news from Lu Baichuan a long time ago. Knowing what Yong'an Houfu was doing, he immediately sent someone to investigate, and the feedback he got was the same as what Lu Baichuan gave.

He has been trying to rectify the Duan family recently, but Concubine Hui is her father's concubine, and she always has to save face for her father. So up to now, he has only asked people to secretly collect evidence, and has not yet stabbed his father and Concubine Hui. before.

But the Duan family actually attacked Gou'er. When Lu Baichuan came back this time, he must seek justice for Gou'er. He knew the seriousness of this matter, but the relationships behind the Yong'an Marquis Mansion were complicated and could not be eradicated in a day or two. Yes, it would have a huge impact. As an emperor, he couldn't ignore everything.

Puzzled, he went to find the queen.

When the queen heard what he said, she immediately laughed.

"The Emperor is really becoming more and more confused. Who is more important between the Lu family and the Duan family? Naturally, I don't need to say more, right? The Yong'an Marquis Mansion's secret investigation of ancient jade has already touched the hearts of the royal family, and its ambitions have been fully revealed. , and even kept attacking the Zhongliang Lu family, which one is more serious, the emperor should have a balance in his mind."

When the queen said this, she was holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand and pruning them. She recently fell in love with flower arrangement. With just two cuts, she could organize the originally messy flowers into something artistic and beautiful, which gave her a sense of accomplishment.

Even when doing these things, some impetuous emotions before will calm down.

She is a queen, so she can't go out and play as she pleases like Jiang Jiuniang. She can only find something to do for herself, but she won't be so bored.

The emperor looked at her cutting flowers and talking as she pleased, and was suddenly stunned. How long had it been since he had been so free and thought about things?
No matter what he faces now, he has to weigh the pros and cons and pay attention to the checks and balances of power. He is afraid that the officials below will form cliques for personal gain, and he is also afraid that some people are plotting against his throne secretly.

But in fact, many things are not as complicated as he thought.

"The queen is right, I know what to do."

After saying that, he left in a hurry. If it had been before, the queen would have been a little disappointed, feeling that he didn't care much about her when he came and went.

But now she doesn't think so. She has two sons and a daughter, and she is the only woman in the harem. Although her mother's family is not very powerful, her younger sister has married well and can give her some support in disguise, and the emperor still has some respect for her. She is sincere, and from the present point of view, she can still sit firmly in the position of queen.

No matter how you look at it, you are considered a winner in life, so why bother with those little things?
After the emperor left the queen, he went directly.The palace of the Supreme Emperor. Ever since the Supreme Emperor abdicated the throne to him, he has really never taken care of the affairs of the court. Recently, he even took Concubine Liu to eat fast and chant Buddha together, which was very impressive.

When the emperor saw the emperor, he was wearing a Zen suit and doing Tai Chi.

The same goes for Mrs. Liu next to her. She didn't put any makeup on her face and simply tied her hair with a hairband. Despite this, she could still see that her face was radiant and she was in a very good mood recently.

The emperor saluted the two of them, and then said: "Father, I have something to report."

Knowing that the emperor wanted to speak to the Supreme Emperor alone, Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Then you two chat while I go to the small kitchen and make some pastries for you."
