The reborn king is ferocious

Chapter 79
The moment of joy, when she saw clearly that the elder brother Xu Shangzhi was standing behind her, her eyes suddenly dimmed.

"You'er, go back." Xu Shangzhi took off the cloak and put it on for Xu Youer.

"No, I have to wait for brother Yu to come out, he will marry me." Xu You'er's tears flowed down.

"It's too late today. Brother will come with you tomorrow, and you will definitely see Jian Yu." Xu Shangzhi said softly, but he knew in his heart that he might not see Jian Yu for a while.

Sure enough, the next day I heard that Jian Yu was ordered to protect the imperial envoy overnight to inspect the river, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for at least a few months.

"Brother Yu didn't leave a message for me?" Xu You'er asked tearfully as she tugged on Xu Shangzhi's sleeve.

"He left in a hurry, so he didn't have time." Xu Shangzhi still wanted to comfort Xu You'er, but someone from the palace had already invited him to enter the palace quickly.

It was a wave of ups and downs, Xu Hongwen looked at the back of his eldest son leaving, and was worried in his heart.

The prince has been missing for several months, and Xu Shangzhi has been by his side as his accompanying student. I am afraid that entering the palace this time is more ominous than good!

Sure enough, Xu Shangzhi was detained as soon as he entered the palace, and the prince who had just returned was also placed under house arrest. I don't know how the king will deal with them.

In the small courtyard, Luo Qingchen and Mrs. Zhang had a leisurely breakfast when Shen Lu came.Tell them that Shen Jian heard what Luo Qingchen meant, and without any hesitation, he agreed that Shen Lu would be here to take care of their mother and daughter at any time in the future.

"Qingchen, you are such a nonsense, Luer is such a good skill, Wuwei Escort still expects him to flourish, how can you tie him here, hang around with us all day, what will he do in the future? The same is true for Shen Escort, how can he be able to do it?" How about agreeing like this? I'll tell him later, don't take it seriously." Mrs. Zhang was anxious.

Luo Qingchen and Shen Lu looked at each other, they both asked Mrs. Zhang to rest, they still had something to discuss.

Mrs. Zhang has a weak personality, so after saying a few words, seeing that they had no intention of changing their minds, she didn't say much, took the medicine and went to rest.

Shen Lu brought a lot of news. First of all, Shen Jian prepared some dowry for Tang Huafen. The fur merchant had to go back quickly because of urgent matters at home, so he picked up Tang Huafen early in the morning and set off on the road. The chance of seeing Tang Huafen again in the future is only Not much anymore.

This was within Luo Qingchen's expectation, and it was nothing special.

Luo Qingchen was not surprised at the news of the marriage between the Shangshu Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, she expected that this ending was Xu Hongwen's best move in the worst situation.

Xu Hongwen wanted to use Xu Youer to catch a big fish before. Even the king was probably in his plan. He could use the excuse that Xu Youer was still young to hold Jian Yu and drag Fang Xiang. From the looks of it, being the head of the country is the most prestigious.

However, there was such a commotion at the Flower Appreciation and Poetry Recitation Meeting that Xu Youer's value plummeted to the bottom. For Xu Youer at this time, she had grasped the straw and climbed to the top.

For Fang Xiang, this reputation was ruined by his grandson. Apart from being annoyed, he was also a little fortunate. If it wasn't for this, Xu You'er might not be able to make a marriage with his grandson so easily.

Xu Hongwen concealed it very well, but Fang Xiang has also been an official for many years, how could he not feel Xu Hongwen's thoughts?
It's fine now, no matter what the process is, the marriage is settled, and the Fang family will have something to rely on in the future.

Fang Xiang finally made up his mind to submit a memorial for Xu Hongwen's sponsorship when he submitted his resignation letter.

"I never imagined that this Xu Shangshu is really capable. In this way, a bad thing turned into a good thing. Xu You'er didn't get retribution, but she became the grandson-in-law of the prime minister's family." Shen Lu said angrily.

Luo Qingchen said indifferently: "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, how do you know whether this marriage will be good or bad in the end?"

"There is one more thing." Shen Lu looked around vigilantly, approached Luo Qingchen and said, "It's about you."

Luo Qingchen looked forward, confident and luxurious in a cold manner, such a beautiful face was only a fist away, Shen Lu couldn't help being stunned, and the words on his lips stopped just like that.

"Is the notice posted outside? Is it the assassin who caught a carriage and made trouble at the altar, or is he offering a reward to the benefactor who saved the Heavenly Master?" Luo Qingchen didn't pay attention to Shen Lu's strangeness at this moment, but just raised the teacup in hand and gently He sipped his tea.

Shen Lu shook his head vigorously, ashamed of being distracted just now, and settled down: "It is a reward in the name of the celestial master. It is said that there was chaos during the sacrifice to the heavens. Fortunately, there was an old man and a young one who were not afraid of the mob and rescued him. The master has been looking for a benefactor for many days, but I hope that someone who knows can provide information, or that the benefactor will thank the master in person when he sees the uncovering of the announcement."

Luo Qingchen nodded slightly.

Shen Lu didn't see how excited Luo Qingchen was, and he said in confusion: "Qingchen, you saved the celestial master, and he wanted to thank him wholeheartedly. What a great opportunity this is? You must know that the most important thing for the current king is this climber. Heavenly Master Yunzi obeys everything from the national fortune to the daily diet and daily life. I don’t know how many powerful people in the capital want to curry favor with him, why aren’t you excited?”

Luo Qingchen saw that Shen Lu was more caring than himself, and said with a smile: "Brother, I don't want to be an official, nor do I want to be a follower of power. To me, a celestial master is just an ordinary person. What can I ask for? By the way, Brother, why don't you go to see him as my elder brother and ask him to arrange a half-time official in the palace for you so that you can make a fortune in the future?"

Shen Lu jumped up: "I'm not interested in being an official, and now that I have promised to protect you and my godmother, I won't be half-hearted."

Luo Qingchen was just joking, seeing Shen Lu seriously swearing, he felt solid and moved.

"Okay, let me just say it casually, what else is there?"

Shen Lu sat down, feeling inappropriate: "You really don't want to see the Celestial Master?"

At that time, Luo Qingchen wanted to go to the palace to see the king immediately, but now she felt that there were some things that needed to be waited and watched. If the Queen Mother knew about her existence, would the king also know about it?The letter should have been in the hands of Shang Wang, but there was no movement. Before we can be sure of Shang Wang's intentions, everything needs to be cautious.Since Deng Yunzi still misses her benefactor, he is not in a hurry at this moment.

"When the time is right, I will naturally go to see him." Luo Qingchen said.

The most important news that Shen Lu brought was that the prince who had been missing for several months was said to have finally returned to the capital yesterday, presumably the court will be very "lively" at this time.

"You said, the king is just such a son, and everything will be his in the future, but he doesn't show up for such a big event of offering sacrifices to the heavens once a year. The king was assassinated, and it took him so long to return to the palace. This prince is really too big." It's outrageous. If the king didn't count on this son, I think he would have been kicked out of the palace long ago, right?" Shen Lu was very pessimistic about the prince's escape this time.

The father of an ordinary family can't tolerate such an unfaithful and unfilial son, let alone a king with a bad temper?

Luo Qingchen knew that the king was indeed very dissatisfied with this son, so the prince was abolished and then established again, repeated several times.In the end, the king finally gave up, so he pinned his hopes on Luo Qingchen.

It's just that this time, in my impression, the prince managed to escape under the queen's protection.

Queen Xiao is not an ordinary woman. Her natal family has 30 elite teachers from Tianqiong, and she is also quite skilled. The king has never acted recklessly with others, but it is very different to the queen.

The queen wants to protect the prince...and only she can protect the prince!
In the court hall, the courtiers were silent like cicadas, only the sound of the king's angrily reprimanded lingered continuously in the grand palace.

"You left the palace without leaving a single word, let alone the will of the king. What do you think of the king? The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is not even here. How do you want the subjects of the world to think of the king and you, the prince! When the king was assassinated Where are you? Everyone in the world knows, don't you know, how about not rushing back to see your father? You are the prince only to sit on this dragon chair in the future, but you don't want to do anything. What is the use of such a prince?"

The king flicked his robe sleeves violently, and sat back on the dragon chair.

The ministers all knew that it was not good, the king was afraid that he would abolish the crown prince this time, but the crown prince is usually extravagant and dissolute, defiant in court, those who opposed him were unwilling to intercede, and those who followed him did not dare to see the king so angry. Open your mouth.

The prince knelt on the ground and bowed his head. No matter how the king scolded him, he just kept silent, made no excuses and begged for mercy.

The king was even angrier, patted the handle of the chair and said: "Why, there is nothing to say? You have nothing to say, and you have everything. My king, since you don't know anything, you don't have to..."

"The queen is here!"

At the entrance of the hall, Empress Xiao, dressed in court clothes, was dignified and dignified, and she was dressed in golden, luxurious and bright, walking into the hall step by step.

"The courtiers and concubines have their own instructions." Empress Xiao respectfully bowed to the high-ranking king.

What she came for, everyone knows.

The king looked at the crown prince, and then at the empress Xiao, feeling restless for a while, closed his eyes, and said reluctantly: "The queen is not polite, I don't know why the queen is going to the palace today?"

Empress Xiao raised her head and said: "The concubine came to the palace to report an important matter to the king, which is related to Tianqiong's national fortune and the reputation of the crown prince, and I still have the duty to fulfill my concubine's duty."

The king said coldly: "The queen is in the harem and cares about the court and the people of Tianqiong. It is really a blessing for the country! It's just the prince's reputation... what other reputation does he need the queen to say?"

Empress Xiao nodded, turned to look at the civil and military officials in the main hall, and said, "That's right, the crown prince has not heard from the palace for several months, so that Jitian and the king were not in the capital when he was assassinated, and all kinds of speculation and rumors spread like wildfire. All the ministers also feel that the prince is incompetent, ruthless and ungrateful, no matter what decision the king makes today, you will not object, there are still people applauding in your heart?"

Someone's eyes flickered as expected, and they didn't dare to look at her.

Empress Xiao sneered and said, "Why didn't the prince say a word? Because he felt aggrieved, knowing that the son is like a father. The king didn't ask the prince why he left the palace when he returned to the palace, and why he didn't come back until now, but in front of the hall The superiors directly concluded that the crown prince was unfaithful and unfilial... Even if he was a concubine, he would feel disheartened."
