fake prince

Chapter 846
A dark cloud came up and blocked the rising moon again. The ox cart walked back to the Luo Mansion in the south of the city without haste. The servant got out of the cart first and called out: "Master!"

Luo Pei, who was deep in thought in the car, woke up, opened the curtain, and got out of the ox cart.

The gate of Luo Mansion was closed tightly, a servant stepped forward to call the door, only a moment later, as soon as the gate opened, Mrs. Luo Pei, Mrs. Mo and eldest son Luo Zhengqi came out to greet him.

Except for the masters of the Luo family, there were only two servant girls, a few servants, and only a few servants, all of whom did not leave after Luo Pei was imprisoned.

Luo Pei has only been in prison for half a year, and the housekeepers with some status and wealth have already left, leaving only some people with low status and nowhere to go.

And after Luo Pei was released from prison, it wasn't that the housekeeper cried bitterly and wanted to come back, but they left so relentlessly at that time, Luo Pei didn't pursue this matter, it's just that they wanted to come back, it was absolutely impossible!
Because of this, the huge Luo Mansion seems too deserted now.

"Ma'am, I'm fine."

Accompanied by his wife and children, he entered the gate of the mansion, and the gate was closed again. Luo Pei took his wife's hand and comforted him in a warm voice: "It's just a farewell banquet, what can happen? You say you, but you are still waiting for me."

She didn't go to bed so late, obviously she was worried and was waiting for him.

After hearing this, Mo sighed: "If you don't come back, how can I feel at ease?"

There are crises everywhere in the capital, if you make a wrong step, how do you know you won't make the same mistakes again?

Since Luo Pei was imprisoned for more than half a year, Mo's heartache has been full, and he has been full of fear and panic. He has already become a bit of a warlord, and probably he can slowly let go of this worry after a long time, and it is difficult to change it in a short time.

Luo Pei also knew what was on his wife's mind, so he patted her hand lightly, and smiled: "I'm back, don't you? Don't worry, we will leave Beijing soon. In the southwest, the sky is far away from the emperor, and you can sleep peacefully." I woke up."

Thinking of the secret palace secrets he heard just now, he even felt that leaving the capital within a few years might not be a bad thing for his old wife and second son.

He can endure the ups and downs of the officialdom, but his old wife is over fifty years old, and he hasn't enjoyed much of a good life with him these years. When she gets old, she always has to think about her.

This is also the reason why he was a little shaken these few days, but after what happened just now, his heart became firm again.

Coaxing the old wife to go to bed first, Luo Pei didn't go to sleep immediately, but went to the study, looking at the flickering candlelight, thinking about something, but his face was expressionless.

The eldest son Luo Zhengqi followed to the study, and a maid came in to serve tea, Luo Zhengqi told her to step back, and personally brought the tea bowl in front of his father.

"Father, please drink tea."

Luo Pei took a sip slowly, moistened his throat, and calmed down his complicated and anxious mood along the way.

"Qi'er." Taking another sip, Luo Pei put down the tea bowl and looked at the eldest son: "Do you have something to say to Father Wei?"

"Yes." Luo Zhengqi is a seventh-rank official who was born as a Jinshi. His official position is still too low. In fact, he can't go to court, and he can't squeeze into the upper circle. But his father is Luo Pei, and getting information from his father is enough to make up for him elsewhere. Therefore, Luo Zhengqi also knew that the emperor ordered the king to handle the shrine.

At this time, being urged by his father, he asked: "Father, my son is curious about handling the shrine on behalf of the king."

"The emperor ordered Dai Wang to deal with the shrine. It has been a few days in the past. Now Dai Wang has not moved. Is Dai Wang planning to continue to delay? Or is there no way to start?"

"Father, you went to Shuntian Mansion to have a banquet today, and you met King Dai, what can you say?"

In the officialdom, there is a destiny. No matter whether the matter can be resolved or not, the first thing is to make a gesture, even if it is superficial, it is really strange that the king does not move anything.

Hearing this, Luo Pei's expression was very strange, and he was silent for a moment.

When Luo Zhengqi saw it, he became even more puzzled.

But he is no longer a boy in his teens. He is a father in his 20s. His father doesn't speak, he looks lost in thought, and he just stands in front of him obediently, without saying a word.

After a long time, Luo Pei slowly opened his mouth: "Qi'er, you don't need to ask about this matter, just watch it."

"I will go to the southwest in the future. Don't neglect the acting king in Beijing. You must know that once the Tao is recognized, it cannot be changed."

After Luo Pei finished speaking, he sighed: "O destiny!"

With Luo Pei's status and acumen, he could feel that the king of Qi and the king of Shu had suffered a lot in the connection of several waves, and the emperor seemed to want to turn his attention to King Lu.

However, the wind hadn't blown yet, and the big vat of cold water was poured on it today.

"Is this human strategy, or God's will?"

"It's a bottom line."

King Lu was able to be crowned king, and even have the possibility of inheriting the great throne, not because of his talent and virtue, but because of his blood. If there is a problem with his blood, everything about him will be wiped out.

Among other things, once the emperor became suspicious, the possibility of this struggle for the heir apparent would disappear.

"Even if the royal family has a secret method to identify bloodlines, if there is a conflict, there will be a rift between father and son. If there is a thorn in my heart, how can I inherit the big position?"

It's a pity that in this case, you can't tell your son that the news of the royal blood can be revealed in anyone's mouth, but it can't be revealed in his own mouth, so Luo Pei sighed, but didn't say anything.

"..."

The eldest son, Luo Zhengqi, originally wanted to inquire about the situation of the acting king from his father, but he heard what his father said.

Because he didn't know what happened, what his father said was not clear, which made him a little puzzled.

But in the end it was his father's instruction, Luo Zhengqi didn't dare to refute, he could only: "Yes, father, my son has remembered."

"Just remember it." Luo Pei nodded, and then said: "This time I'm going to the southwest, I will go with your mother and your brother, you are an official in Beijing, you need to be more careful."

"If you have anything, you can ask for help from the Prince Dai's Mansion."

The eldest son of Luo Pei has already been married and has an heir. He is also a Jinshi in Zhongzhong and an official in Beijing. It is impossible to follow him to the southwest.

But the second son was only 16 years old and originally wanted to get engaged, but because he was suddenly imprisoned more than half a year ago, the matter of marriage was dropped.

The second son is more impulsive, but after this family accident, he has a gloomy temperament. Luo Pei plans to take his old wife and second son to the southwest this time.

After all, I don't know how long I will stay in the Southwest this time. If the second son stays in the capital, even if his brother and sister-in-law can take care of him, they will not be as good as his parents.

Luo Zhengqi hesitated: "My younger brother is 16 years old, if he goes to the Southwest, the marriage..."

"It's okay for a boy to marry later."

Regarding this matter, Luo Pei has now looked away: "Your younger brother is not good at school, this time he is going to the Southwest, and I am here, so I can strictly supervise him. Moreover, with him by his side, your mother will feel better .”

After his father said so, Luo Zhengqi didn't insist anymore.

Thinking of the Yue family's frequent gestures of goodwill recently, and even intending to match up my younger brother with a woman who is a relative of the Yue family to discuss marriage, I am afraid that such things will inevitably happen in the future, so it is better to let my younger brother go to the southwest with his parents, so that everyone can get some peace. In the capital, it is also a disaster to follow other people's way in a place that he can't see, and to be involved in any dispute.

Luo Zhengqi knew his father, and since he had this reminder but didn't say it clearly, he smelled bad - it seemed that the capital city was about to go into trouble again.
