Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 256 Original
"Look at this." In the imperial study room, Emperor Chen handed a letter to Shen Yu.

Taking it with both hands, Shen Yu opened the letter and read it carefully. After a while, his face showed joy.

The letter was sent back from the northwest frontier. With this letter, Shen Xiao's previous 'crimes' can be cleared.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After reading the letter, Shen Yu saluted the Emperor.

"What did Xie Zhen do? It's the two of you brothers fighting for their strength. Tomorrow morning, this letter can be read in the court hall. By then, Shen Xiao's charges can be cleared."

During this period of time, Emperor Chen has been waiting for the letter from the northwest border to be sent back, because only in this way can the matter of Shen Xiao be completely resolved.

After solving Shen Xiao's matter, Shen Yu and his official positions can be promoted. In addition, Su Qingning's status in the harem can also be improved.

"How are the preparations for the marriage going?" Shen Yu and Yue Ling were granted a marriage before, and it was set in May, and now the date is getting closer.

Hearing the emperor's question about her marriage, Shen Yu was rarely a little shy, "A few years ago, Weichen's mother made all the preparations, and she was waiting for Weichen to marry her a daughter-in-law."

"Now that the emperor has bestowed a marriage, it took almost no effort to prepare everything. Right now, we just wait for the day to come."

"Ningning is very happy that you are getting married. If there is a chance, when you get married, I will take her with you to the Shen family to congratulate you."

After listening to Shen Yu's words, Emperor Chen smiled and said that, which made Shen Yu very happy, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

It is already an excellent thing to be granted a marriage by the emperor. If the emperor can go on the wedding day, it will be a great honor for the Shen family.

Shen Yu knew in her heart that the reason why the emperor was like this was because of her cousin. It has to be said that the position of the cousin in the emperor's heart was indeed very important.

"Your Majesty, have you found the Sixth Prince?" Shen Yu asked after thinking of something.

"There was news before, but after sending people over, they were all in vain. This Xuanyuanqi is really cunning, and with the help of the remnants of the Chu family, it may not be easy to catch him."

Speaking of Xuanyuan Qi, Emperor Chen frowned. "It's my fault. If he was more cautious, he wouldn't run away."

"This minister feels that the emperor cannot be blamed for this matter, I am afraid that this matter was premeditated."

"After you came back, Weichen investigated the accompanying personnel, and some of them were actually arranged by the Chu family just in case."

"The guard who was killed by the sixth prince was actually from the Chu family. If he guessed correctly, he should have committed suicide in order to paralyze you and others."

After hearing what Emperor Chen finished speaking, Xuanyuan Qi reported the results of his previous investigation to the emperor. After hearing what he said, Emperor Chen was very surprised.

"Is that so? It's because I was negligent. I thought that there were no spies from the Chu family in the team, but I didn't expect... After all, Jiang is old and spicy. Those old guys from the Chu family are not ordinary people."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as the sixth prince is still in Daxing, he will definitely find it. I feel that I should tell Shen Xiao to pay attention to the northwest border."

"Before, the Chu family was able to frame Shen Xiao on the charge of treason and collaborating with the enemy, which meant that they might have some relationship with the border."

Although he is a civil servant, Shen Yu is a careful person, but he will not let go of any possibility.

"Well, this matter will be done according to what you said, and I will write to Shen Xiao right away." Nodding his head, Emperor Chen circled back to the desk, Zhou Chengren laid rice paper for the emperor, and waited for him to write the letter.

After the letter was finished, Emperor Chen summoned the secret guards and asked him to send the letter to the northwest border as soon as possible.

What should be said and what should be discussed has already been discussed and discussed. The emperor kept Shen Yu for dinner in the palace.

Zhou Chengren was sent to Yuxiu Palace, and Su Qingning was called to Chengqian Palace. Zhou Chengren took orders and left Chengqian Palace.

In Yongchun Palace, Aunt Wang came back from the outside and reported the news to Lu Zhaoyi.

Unlike Fengyang Palace, the news in Shoukang Palace is not difficult to inquire about.

After this period of time, the Empress Dowager's eyes could hardly see anything. In the Shoukang Palace, only a few palace people were left to serve her daily life.

Although it was confinement, Emperor Chen didn't treat her harshly, there was a lot of what should be given and what should be used.

"Is she still the same as before, smashing things and cursing people every day?" Lu Zhaoyi asked after listening to Aunt Wang.

"It's much better than before. I must know that it's useless even if I swear at people. Besides, doing so will only make the toxicity happen faster."

"Besides, my eyes are not as good as before, and I can't see clearly what I want to throw." Aunt Wang knew how much Lu Zhaoyi resented the queen mother, which is understandable, after all, she was the one who killed the second princess.

"If I want to go to Shoukang Palace, what's the problem?" After hearing what Aunt Wang had said, Lu Zhaoyi thought about it and asked again. She really wanted to see with her own eyes how miserable the current queen mother is.

"It's nothing difficult. The servant can arrange it, but the servant is worried. If you go, will you be suspected?"

Now, the queen mother's legs and feet are not flexible, and her eyes can hardly see anything. It is too eye-catching for Lu Zhaoyi to go at this time.

"It's nothing. Didn't I send Buddhist scriptures to the Queen Mother before? Now, let's use sending Buddhist scriptures as an excuse."

When she has nothing to do, Lu Zhaoyi will copy Buddhist scriptures to calm herself, so she has a few ready-made copied Buddhist scriptures in her hand.

"Since that's the case, I'll arrange it now. When does the master want to go to Shoukang Palace?" After hearing Lu Zhaoyi's words, Aunt Wang felt that it made sense. She blessed her body and asked Lu Zhaoyi what she meant.

"Just today, after lunch." Without hesitation, Lu Zhaoyi spoke, and Aunt Wang responded and left the main hall again.

…………

In Yuxiu Palace, Su Qingning got a message from the emperor from Zhou Chengren.

After seeing off Zhou Chengren, Su Qingning simply tidied up, and then went to Chengqian Palace in a sedan chair.

Originally, I wanted to take the child with me, but seeing that the sky was overcast and the wind was a bit strong today, I had no choice but to give up my idea.

As the sedan chair walked all the way, Su Qingning looked at everything in the harem, because of the previous Chu family's counterattack, many places in the palace were destroyed.

Now, there are craftsmen repairing it, and the silver used is stolen from the Chu family.

Although some members of the Chu family escaped, they couldn't take all of them away, and they couldn't blatantly sell off their property, so most of the things were kept, which happened to be cheap for the emperor.

It is also fortunate that there is money from the Chu family, otherwise, it may not be easy to repair it, after all, the treasury is not full.

When Chengqian Palace arrived, the sedan chair stopped. Su Qingning got off the sedan chair and walked towards Chengqian Palace.
