Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 241
In the Golden Hall of the Imperial Palace, the little emperor was sitting on a golden dragon chair. He was sitting upright and looking at the officials and courtiers below. Although no officials had anything to say today, he still sat upright and waited quietly.

The night before yesterday, news came from his confidants that something must have happened on the front line, and he vaguely felt that it might have something to do with Lu Huaiqi.

So this morning when it was still dark, he got up early and asked the palace servants to dress and freshen him. He wanted to go to court quickly to see if there would be any news from the front line reaching the hall today.

As soon as he thought that something might have happened to Lu Huaiqi, his blood boiled all over his body.

But after sitting for a long time, no one came in from outside the hall. He was about to let Xu Fulu announce his retirement, but at this moment, someone rushed in from outside the hall. Xu Fulu frowned and thought to himself Looking at such a hurry, could it be that there is something important.

The little emperor's heart suddenly jumped up quickly, but he still suppressed the excitement in his heart, "Why are you so anxious, play quickly!"

After the man knelt down, he raised his head, with a look of panic, "Go back to the emperor, the front line, the front line was defeated... He is nine thousand years old, he fell off the cliff, his life and death are unknown!"

These words were like a boulder smashed into the originally calm lake, which immediately stirred up layers of waves.

The little emperor almost stood up from the dragon chair, he desperately clasped the dragon chair under him, and managed to control himself.

And the courtiers below had exploded, and they couldn't restrain their uproar above the main hall.

"Lu Huaiqi is dead!?" The speaker almost blurted out this sentence because of his excessive surprise.

"At the front line, Zhou Mu was dead, as if he had lost his backbone, and the morale of the army was slackened. Later, Xiao Xing died, but now it's better, even Lu Huaiqi is dead, and now he is still retreating steadily. Let the people of Northern Qi It's enough to be proud!"

"I still can't believe that the news is true? Lu Huaiqi, the treacherous official who turned his hands into clouds and turned his hands into rain, just died like this? This is too sudden..."

"What's the matter, where do you think the front line is, the Shura field where the flames are raging and the bones are everywhere, so what if he is Lu Huaiqi, isn't he just an ordinary man made of flesh and blood, and he can't stop the sword and gun coming!"

"That's true, but what about the front line now..."

"Just send someone there again, but what should we send this time?"

All the courtiers talked about this matter, some were worried about the front line, some were overwhelmed by the news, but they were not worried about Lu Huaiqi's safety, after all, Lu Huaiqi was the No.1 who suppressed them miserably.

The little emperor was ecstatic in his heart. The day he had been looking forward to day and night since he became the throne finally came, and it came so fast that he was almost caught off guard. He didn't know how to react for a while. The news was occupied, and when he came back to his senses, he coughed and let the person who came to report go down. He originally wanted the courtiers below to discuss it. How should he plan this matter next? After thinking about it, he really couldn't sit still, so when he opened his mouth, he said something completely different.

"All my loves, this sad news about Lu Aiqing really makes Gu's heart ache, Gu has no heart to talk about court affairs now, let's leave the court today."

As he spoke, he let out a long sigh, his face full of sadness, it seemed that the news of Lu Huaiqi really made him extremely sad.

The ministers below all sneered from the bottom of their hearts. The little emperor had done enough drama, but they really had no intention of going up to court now, because the news was too shocking.

The news that Lu Huaiqi fell to his death from the cliff quickly spread throughout Liangjing City, and every time the news spread, it caused an uproar.

Tong Wanjin was sorting out the letters on the table in his study when suddenly his subordinate came in from outside with a solemn expression on his face.

As if something important happened, he put down what he was doing, feeling a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

"What's the matter?" When he asked this, he looked closely at the subordinate.

After the subordinate finished speaking, his eyes widened suddenly, and the letter in his hand was squeezed into a ball. He asked again in disbelief, "Do you know what you just said?"

That subordinate had followed Tong Wanjin for so long, how could he not know that his master and Lu Jiuqian were close friends for many years, he sighed in his heart, bowed his head and remained silent.

Tong Wanjin stepped back, sat upright on the chair, his eyes were a little erratic.

How could Lu Huaiqi die?

How could Lu Huaiqi die like that at the border after experiencing so many near-deaths and storms?
He sank into the chair, unable to recover for a long time.

Looking at the letters and news on the table, he suddenly felt an indescribable anger rising in his chest. He suddenly reached out and brushed all those things down. After taking a breath, he looked at the "waste paper" on the ground. , I was tired for a while.

The subordinate sighed silently, came over and picked up the letters, put them on the desk again, and then stepped aside.

Tong Wanjin sat quietly for a long time with a slumped face, and with a glance, he saw a jade pendant on the corner of the table. The jade pendant was torn off by Zhang Li from the group of people that night. He has been investigating recently, but unexpectedly, he Before finding out who the other party was, Lu Huaiqi had an accident.

His eyes were tightly locked on the jade pendant, as if he was about to stare at it. Tong Wanjin closed his eyes, rubbed his forehead, thought of something, his hand stopped suddenly, and the news reached him. , Did that little girl representing Lu Huai also hear it?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly stood up from the chair and walked out of the study room.

Seeing Tong Wanjin's sudden move, his subordinate was slightly surprised, but followed without asking further questions.

After Zhang Li's body was recuperated by Jia Zhen's medicine, he quickly recovered.

As soon as he recovered, he started busy investigating the mission Lu Huaiqi had left for him, but as soon as he left the house today, he heard a piece of news that set off a storm in his heart.

The news hit his ears like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, he was stunned for a long time but couldn't recover, and then he hurried back home.

When returning to the mansion, walking all the way, the servants in the mansion looked at him and quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at him, and when he walked over, they secretly looked at him from behind.

His heart sank suddenly, and he knew that it must be the master's news that had reached the mansion.

I don't know if Madam...has heard about it now.

He walked quickly to Shen Qingli's courtyard, and once he entered the courtyard, his footsteps became a little stagnant. The courtyard was too quiet, and there was no movement as he expected. He couldn't figure out what happened to Shen Qingli in the room. .

His footsteps slowed down a lot, he walked to the door of the room, and saw Ran Mo squatting on the ground inside, and Shen Qingli opposite her was doing the same.

He felt uneasy for a while, and listened carefully, Ran Mo seemed to be persuading him in a low voice, "Madam, please sit down quickly, I'll clean it up, you, don't be like this..."

He didn't know if Shen Qingli knew the news, he hesitated a little, but he still stepped in, bowed his head and cupped his hands outside, "Madam, my subordinate Zhang Li..." When he said this, he was speechless, not knowing what to say .

The voice inside stopped suddenly, and Shen Qingli's calm and unreasonable voice came out, "Zhang Li, you go out first, I'm a little tired, let's talk later if there is anything to do."

Zhang Li was a little worried, but he couldn't disobey her intentions, so he had no choice but to say, "Then madam, please rest first, and the subordinates have stepped back."

He walked into the yard, looked at Shen Qingli's room, and sighed worriedly. When he walked out of the yard, he met Tong Wanjin who was walking quickly. Seeing his serious and worried face, he knew it The other party's intention.

He stepped forward and said, "Young Master Tong, you also know." There was complete affirmation in his words.

Tong Wanjin nodded rather heavily, without the slightest look of joking in the past, he raised his chin towards Shen Qingli's yard, with a mark between his eyebrows, he asked, "What's going on there, does she know?" ?”

Zhang Li knew that he was asking about Madam, so he shook his head slowly, and he sighed rarely, "I don't know, Madam didn't see me, but I guess Madam probably knew, but she was too sad to hear her words. The joys and sorrows here."

Tong Wanjin frowned, "She didn't cry at all, didn't she look sad or in pain?"

As he smelled this, his eyes were full of worry.

Zhang Li thought about Shen Qingli's calm voice just now, and he shook his head again, "Madam's voice is very calm, but it is too calm, which makes the subordinates flustered."

calm?Tong Wanjin never expected Shen Qingli to have such a reaction, and his face became more serious, "If this is the case, it may be more troublesome. This calmness is probably just an appearance, just like the storm before the storm." Calmness will always erupt at a moment that catches everyone by surprise," he said solemnly, "Zhang Zhang, you must take good care of her these days, and if you find anything wrong, stop him quickly, and then Notify me immediately."

He was afraid that Shen Qingli would be overwhelmed, and if he did something to hurt himself, it would be irreparable.

This little girl is Lu Huaiqi's treasure, if something happens to her, then he will feel ashamed of Lu Huaiqi.

How could Zhang Li not understand his worries? He also had the same plan in his heart. After agreeing, he would go to the mansion to make some arrangements with the housekeeper.

Seeing Zhang Li leave, Tong Wanjin turned his head and looked at Shen Qingli's yard. His hands subconsciously wanted to grasp his gilded abacus tightly, but the grasp was empty, and he just remembered, He came out in a hurry, and he forgot the little abacus in the study and didn't bring it with him.

With a heavy sigh, he walked into the yard.
