Huiguo's side was full of joy, but Fenglinguo's side was gloomy.

They hoped for the stars and the moon, and finally hoped for Xie Chengjin's army to return. However, they never expected that Xie Chengjin fell into the sea in the "Crouching Dragon City" near the capital, and his whereabouts were unknown.

Lu Zhiyun was hit and fell ill.

In the next few days, the officers and soldiers who had just returned to the capital were appeased by the assistants and ministers. Xia Qingzhou helped arrange a reception banquet, intending for the soldiers to eat and rest well.However, the soldiers refused the banquet, and stayed listlessly in the barracks, as if they had been hit hard.

But it is.

Xie Chengjin didn't come back, and they lost their backbone, so such a celebration was meaningless.They even worried about whether they would be implicated because of this incident. Not to mention the previous military exploits, it would be good to save their lives.

"My lord, my son, now is the best time." The counselor spoke with eloquence. "The emperor disappeared, although no bones were found, but we all know that it is more or less auspicious. A country cannot live without a king, so the establishment of a heir is the most important thing at present. The prince born to the queen has just turned one year old, and he is a yellow-haired child , How can we take on the big responsibility? As long as we let the queen write down the imperial edict, the throne will be justified."

"The queen is from the Lu family. Do you think she will give up the throne to someone else?" An Guogong said calmly, "Unless the queen is too sad and angry, so she dies for love. As for the little prince, he is just a child anyway, who knows What kind of waste will he become when he grows up? We can't kill him now, otherwise it will easily expose what we have done."

"It's not easy to start with the queen..."

"Usually it's hard to do it. Isn't she sick now? As long as she is sick, she has to take medicine..."

The Queen's condition is getting worse.

Originally, Xie Chengjin's accident had shocked the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, but now the empress was dying of grief because of the bad news, which made the sky over Fenglinguo cloudy, and there was no ray of sunshine.

When the empress fell ill, all civil and military officials in the court quarreled.Someone suggested that a tomb should be set up for the emperor, and a grand funeral should be held for him.Some people said that Xie Chengjin just fell into the sea, maybe he didn't die, and the queen should be in charge of the government, and then send people to search for Xie Chengjin's whereabouts.

Why did Xie Chengjin fall into the sea?

Of course, it was because of countless assassinations. When he was chased by an assassin, his body was exhausted, and he slipped and fell into the sea. No matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find his whereabouts.

After another half a month, the people sent out did not find Xie Chengjin, and the matter of the clothes tomb was urgent. After all, only after Xie Chengjin's funeral was held first, could they discuss what to do next.

royal palace.Mu Siyu carved a model of a wooden horse.

The wooden horse came to life under her knife.

"Mother, civil and military officials are setting up a tomb for brother-in-law, why don't we go and have a look?" Lu Zhiqing stood beside her, watching her movements.

Mu Siyu continued to carve the wooden horse, and said, "I'm busy, so I don't have time."

"Brother-in-law's tomb is so important, isn't it as important as the wooden horse you carved?"

"Someone is responsible for that matter, and it's not our responsibility. We are from Huiguo, and we have to go back to Huiguo sooner or later. Don't get involved in Fenglinguo's affairs too much, so as not to embarrass your sister."

Lu Zhiqing: "..."

Did he participate less?

Is it too late to say this now?

If her mother didn't mention it, she would almost forget that she was from Huiguo.Judging from the current situation, they thought that the Lu family was going to set up camp in Fenglin State.

"Xiao Qing'er," Song Hanzhi stood not far away, beckoning to her. "Come here, I have something to see you."

"What's wrong?" Lu Zhiqing trotted over.

"Mo Tong's voice has recovered." Song Hanzhi looked at her with a smile.

"Really?"

"Ah."

"Great." Lu Zhiqing grabbed Song Hanzhi's arm and dragged him to a distance, "Come on, take me to have a look."

Ming Ziyan checked Qin Motong's body, and asked Qin Motong to say a few words.

"He's just recovered, and he's not very proficient yet. With a little more practice, he can recover his language ability." Ming Ziyan concluded, "There's no need to take medicine, just drink more throat-moisturizing soup."

"Thank you, sister Ming." Lu Zhiqing said, "Sister Ming, your medical skills are really good, you are simply a miracle doctor."

"Stop coaxing me." Ming Ziyan chuckled, "With your mouth, all the birds in the sky will be coaxed down by you."

After Ming Ziyan left, Lu Zhiqing looked at Qin Motong curiously.

Qin Motong was embarrassed by her.

Song Hanzhi covered her eyes and said, "Don't look, Mo Tong needs to rest well, let's not disturb him, let him rest!"

Qin Motong: "..."

He needs a good rest?

Who said that?Why doesn't he know?

He opened his mouth, wanting to keep Lu Zhiqing and Song Hanzhi behind, but they had already left the house.

"I... don't... need to rest..."

After finally being able to speak, he also wanted to practice with them so that he could recover his language ability earlier.

Coming out of Qin Motong's room, Song Hanzhi said to Lu Zhiqing: "There was a lot of trouble in the previous court, and it was related to your brother-in-law. Why doesn't the princess care at all? Could it be that your brother-in-law didn't..."

"Hush!" Lu Zhiqing made a silent gesture, "We are from Huiguo, so let's not get involved in Fenglinguo's affairs, that's what my mother told me."

She is not stupid.

The atmosphere in the palace is weird recently, and she has already noticed something is wrong.

When news of the missing 'brother-in-law' first came out, my sister fell into a coma on the spot.She was also very nervous at that time, until she sent her sister back to the harem, she saw traces of acting on the faces of Ming Ziyan and her mother, and guessed that her sister's coma was something tricky.

However, they all regarded her as a child and were unwilling to reveal the truth to her.Just now she deliberately tested her mother, her mother's calm expression towards the tomb confirmed her guess, her brother-in-law is not dead at all, maybe hiding somewhere waiting to catch fish now!That being the case, she should be her second young lady of the Lu family. In this harem, she should eat, drink, and play, and don't have to worry about other things.

What happened in the previous dynasty really made trouble in the harem.Civil and military officials want to see Lu Zhiyun who is on the sick bed, and want Lu Zhiyun to uphold justice for them.

After all, it is nothing more than some people think that the emperor is dead, they should establish a heir, and the heir is too young to be an emperor, so they want to find an heir who can be the master in the clan.Another wave of ministers were Xie Chengjin's cronies, that is, loyal ministers who opposed such an arrangement.The two parties had a fierce quarrel in the previous court, and seeing that there was no conclusion, they wanted Lu Zhiyun to be the master.

"My lords, don't be embarrassed." An Guogong stood up and said, "This country's Duke is not talented, and he is one of the clan. How about this throne being inherited by this country's Duke."

"An Guogong, you are really ambitious!" Lord Yang said angrily, "You want to seek power and usurp the throne before the emperor's bones are cold."

"Lord Yang, those who know the current affairs are outstanding." An Guogong said with a smile, "Now there is only one child in the entire royal family. Do you really want a kid wrapped in diapers to sit on the throne?"

"That is our crown prince. No matter how old he is, he is also our master."

"Rather than hand over the throne to such a milk baby, and let a woman control the government, the Duke of this country would rather be a treacherous minister." An Guogong said solemnly, "Anyone who refuses to accept can stand up."

bang!The door opens.

Xie Chengjin in a dragon robe stood at the door.

Everyone looked at him in shock.

"My lords, are you surprised to see me?" Xie Chengjin said, "It's true that I've lost some weight and darkened. It's normal that you can't recognize me."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." All the ministers knelt down suppressing the horror in their hearts.

An Guogong stared at Xie Chengjin's direction, his eyes were full of disbelief: "How could you..."

"An Guogong tried to rebel and went to prison. Put all the people in An Guogong's mansion into the prison and wait for their punishment. In addition, Lord Wang Ying...and you, you, you, you... put them all in the prison, resist There will be no mercy." Xie Chengjin said lightly, "As for the others... I was delayed on the road because of some things, and I just returned to the palace, and I am still a little tired now, and I will call you into the palace when I have enough rest."

An Guogong and Ren Hankun still wanted to struggle to escape, but Xie Chengjin had already prepared men and horses waiting there, just waiting for these people to throw themselves into the trap, and then he would come out and catch them all.

All the ministers who supported An Guogong's ascension to the throne just now were all found out.

The minister who remained neutral broke into a cold sweat for himself.

As long as their position is shaken, their heads and their family's heads are probably only half left.

The other ministers all retreated, only Xia Qingzhou was left standing there.

Xia Qingzhou looked around, saw no one else, and trotted towards Xie Chengjin.

"How is it? Isn't the play going well?" Xia Qingzhou thumped Xie Chengjin's chest.

"Hiss..." Xie Chengjin gasped, "Although I'm not dead, it's true that I was seriously injured, can't you take it lightly?"

"Are you okay? Are you injured in your chest?" Xia Qingzhou became nervous, "I didn't know you were injured, otherwise I wouldn't touch you."

"If I hadn't been injured and needed to recuperate for a few days, I wouldn't have let them make trouble for so long." Xie Chengjin said, "Thanks to you fighting the fire there, you made them make more trouble, so that Duke An could not stop He was so angry that he showed all his hole cards. The troops he transferred from the Zhenzhen clan were also under control. If he thought it was a way out, he might be disappointed. Because his way out has long been ruled out. cut off."

"Where is the empress..."

"She's fine." Xie Chengjin waved his hand, "An Guo Gong's mansion is entrusted to you to copy. The old man has filled his private pockets all these years, just to fill the national treasury. In addition, let me tell you that he has several private treasuries..."

Xie Chengjin gave a few instructions, Xia Qingzhou wrote down the key information, and ransacked the house with his secret decree.

Xia Qingzhou had just left the palace gate when he saw several adults waiting there.Seeing him coming out, those adults greeted him.

"Master Xia, Master Xia..."

"When did the emperor come back? You are so mean, you didn't tell our brothers such important news, thanks to the fact that we usually call you brothers and sisters."

"My lords, I am really wronged. When I saw the emperor just now, I was more surprised than you. You also know the relationship between me and the emperor. They are close buddies since childhood! Who knew that he would even lie to me! Hey, A companion is like a tiger, as expected, he still trusted me a lot before leaving Beijing, and he stayed outside for two years, even hiding it from me, so it can be seen that he can't even trust me! I can't say it, and I feel wronged when I say it .”

"You really don't know?"

"I lied to you to be puppies, woof woof..." Xia Qingzhou said, "But I think the emperor came back secretly on purpose and sent us a false news, just to see who is the loyal minister and who is the treacherous minister. An Guogong and the others It fell into his hands this time, and I'm afraid there will be another river of blood! Don't be nervous, my lords, you won't be involved in this matter, unless you are also Duke An's..."

"No, no, no, we are the emperor's courtiers, we only listen to the emperor."

After hearing what happened in the previous court, Lu Zhiyun relaxed and ate grapes.

Xie Chengjin put the peeled grape on her red lips, lowered his head to swallow it, and competed with her for the right to own that grape.

"Hmm..." Lu Zhiyun pushed him, her eyes were charming, and she said coquettishly, "It's about time, the nanny is coming over with Yi'er in her arms."

When mentioning his son Xie Chengyi, Xie Chengjin's eyes were full of distress.

"From pregnancy to childbirth, I haven't been with you for a day, and I always feel that I owe you a lot."

"You men are busy with your careers, so you will inevitably miss a lot. When my mother was pregnant with Qing'er, my father was not by her side. Later, Qing'er was born, and for a long time, my father also had no way to accompany her." Take care of me by your side. What's more, what you are going to do is a very important event, and I don't think there is anything owed to it."

"I heard from them that when you were pregnant with Yier, you had to go to appease the people, and when you gave birth, you almost had a difficult delivery. Fortunately, your mother-in-law came to accompany you. And the things that your mother-in-law and Qing'er did for us in Fenglinguo, this Makes me very ashamed."

"Okay, don't talk about it. Qing'er has a dream of a female general. If she were in Huiguo, Emperor Hui might not be willing to let her dream come true. It's different here. I let her dream come true, and I used her to deceive her. Just look at those old foxes, and then lead An Guogong into the game step by step. Of course, An Guogong is too cunning, and there is no trace at the beginning. It is not easy to catch him. Until you write to me, with me Setting up this fake death situation made him finally expose his ambitions, and this is the reason to deal with him openly and honestly."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Eldest Prince insists on arguing to see you." The nanny came over holding Xie Chengyi.

"Come here!"

Xie Chengjin caught Xie Chengyi.

Xie Chengyi also just met Xie Chengjin, but when Xie Chengjin hugged him for the first time, he didn't cry, and looked at him curiously, but then he did something that no one dared to do, that is, in his arms I peed in my bosom.

Xie Chengjin's face turned blue.

In the end, seeing that he was about to cry, he had to coax him with a smile all over his face: "Yi'er, good boy, my father won't hurt you, so don't cry."
