Liao Chuxiu was not worried at all, Emperor Yongzhen would attack him.

Even if he was not ordered to pacify the southwest this time, even if he did not lead the troops to the south, as soon as Wu Shijun's blood letter came out, he pushed the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion and the royal family to the forefront.

At this time, Emperor Yongzhen not only could not kill him, but also had to protect him everywhere, otherwise as soon as he died, he would be convicted of Emperor Yongzhen's crime of brutalizing Zhongliang, killing the first emperor, and seeking power and usurping the throne.

In this world, there is not only one surnamed Xiao.

And this Dayan is not without loyal ministers and good generals.

Although Emperor Yongzhen has been on the throne for so many years, he still can't bear this charge, once he does this, the court will inevitably be in chaos, and he Xiao will never want to sit still.

Emperor Yongzhen can't afford to gamble.

Liao Chuxiu looked ahead lightly, and didn't explain too much to Bailixuan, but said, "After you return to Beijing this time, will you still go to Yiyuntai?"

Bai Li Xuan pulled the reins: "Yes, I was 'ordered' to go south to find medicine for the Eighth Prince, and now that I have returned to Beijing, I naturally want to go to his side." ”

Liao Chuxiu paused: "The Eighth Prince really can't survive this year?"

Bai Li Xuan tugged at the corners of his mouth: "I will do my best, I should be able to protect him until the end of the year." ”

Liao Chuxiu lowered his eyes when he heard this, it is only the beginning of July now, and it is only less than half a year by the end of the year, Xiao Yuanzhu has reached this point?

He originally thought that Xiao Yuanzhu, who was diagnosed by the imperial doctor, would not live for more than three months, but he did it deliberately in order to get out of the Wen family's affairs and let Emperor Yongzhen no longer pursue it, but he didn't expect that he really wouldn't live long.

Liao Chuxiu looked back at the carriage with the curtain hanging and saw what he was thinking.

Bai Li Xuan asked: "Chu Xiu, I need to ...... in advance when I return to Beijing this time" He stretched out his hand and made a cross-cutting gesture: "If necessary, I promise to let him go silently." ”

Liao Chuxiu said lightly: "No need. ”

After all, he is the one who is going to die, and the entanglement between him and Feng Qiao is difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong, if Xiao Yuanzhu had made a move on Feng Qiao, or even endangered Feng Qiao's safety, he would not hesitate to remove him, but he didn't, even, in his previous investigation, although Xiao Yuanzhu had been involved with Feng Yuansu, and even met with him in private, but he also blurred Feng Qiao's existence several times in advance, and even deliberately covered up some clues.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Wen and Liu families to have not discovered the relationship between Feng Qiao and Xiao Yunsu so far, and whether it was because of Xiao Yunsu's identity or the half piece of beetle snake jade, Feng Qiao would have been unable to live in Beijing for a long time.

……

……

Feng Qiao and the others did not return to Beijing quickly, and when they reached a small half of the distance, Liao Chuxiu received a secret letter from the people in the secret camp, and Emperor Yongzhen really ordered Xu Yu, the superintendent of the army, to take over the people in his hands when he went south, and ordered him to return to Beijing, without mistake.

Liao Chuxiu carried the holy decree sent by the secret camp into his arms, but he was not in a hurry to go back, but accompanied Feng Qiao and them all the way to the mountains and rivers for several days, until they walked together to a town closest to the capital, Baili Xuan separated from a few people, and hurried back to Beijing to Yiyuntai, while Liao Chuxiu escorted Feng Qiao and the two of them unhurriedly, and only entered Beijing the next day.

Sent Feng Qiao back to Rong Anbo's Mansion, Liao Chuxiu originally wanted to go back to Zhenyuan's Mansion, but as soon as he entered the city, Emperor Yongzhen got the news and stopped him directly in the middle of the road and recruited him into the palace.

The Imperial Study in the Palace.

Emperor Yongzhen listened to the words of the people below, and his face was full of gloom: "You said that Liao Chuxiu returned to Beijing with Feng Qiao?"

"Back to Your Majesty, they are not Hefu County where they left together, the news from there is that Miss Feng and Miss Liao left Hefu County ten days ago, and Liao Shizi left after receiving the holy decree six days ago, but they met in Yicheng yesterday, and Liao Shizi walked with the two of them and entered Beijing together today. ”

Emperor Yongzhen heard that he was a little more relieved, and returning to Beijing by order was completely different from leaving the camp without permission, he waved his hand and said, "You go down first." ”

The man kowtowed to Emperor Yongzhen, and the whole person retreated directly.

Chen An carefully served the tea to Emperor Yongzhen.

After Emperor Yongzhen took it, he took the lid of the cup and tried the tea in the cup, but he didn't drink it: "Chen An, what do you think Liao Chuxiu thinks?"

As soon as this bloody book came out, people were panicked, and Liao Chuxiu had any dissenting intentions.

If not, why should he return to Beijing?

If not, how could the news spread, and how could Wu Shijun's bloody letter fall into his ears?

If there is no Liao Chuxiu's instruction, Emperor Yongzhen will never believe it.

Chen Anxin guessed the intention of Emperor Yongzhen to ask this, for fear that he would be angry with the thunder if he answered the wrong words, so he could only say carefully: "Your Majesty, since Liao Shizi is willing to return to Beijing by order, and handed over all his troops to General Xu, he has no intention of resisting the decree, the slave thinks that he should have no objection, and he should not believe in Wu Shijun's provocative words, otherwise how can he return to Beijing?"

"The Liao family has been loyal for generations, and Liao Shizi, as a member of the Liao family, should not act rebelliously. ”

Emperor Yongzhen closed the lid of the cup when he heard this, as if he remembered something a long time ago, when he was still a prince, Liao Chuxiu's father had always accompanied the holy car, the first emperor loved him very much, and personally gave the word "Boru", praising him for not being able to speak for himself, and being calm and desireless.

At that time, he was very impressed by Liao Boru, so deep that he can still remember the scene when he stood in front of the Golden Palace and spoke about loyalty and righteousness as a young man.

Emperor Yongzhen's expression was in a trance for a moment: "Yes... The Liao family is a loyal person for generations..."

Chen An looked at Emperor Yongzhen with his eyes slightly lowered and didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't dare to say anything, just standing not far behind Emperor Yongzhen, the whole person seemed to melt into the shadows.

After Liao Chuxiu entered the palace, he was taken directly to the imperial study, and before he stepped into the door of the imperial study, he clearly felt that in addition to Emperor Yongzhen and Chen An, there were several more breaths in the room, faintly protecting all around, and in the tea room next to the imperial study, there were many people hidden.

When he hung his head, there was a bit of mockery in his eyes, so even if he was an emperor, he was still afraid of death.

"Minister Liao Chuxiu knocked to see Your Majesty, long live long live long live!"

Liao Chuxiu stepped forward and knelt down directly to salute.

Emperor Yongzhen has been locking his eyes on his face since he entered, but in addition to being as respectful and humble as before, Liao Chuxiu couldn't find the slightest resentment: "Liao Qing is flat." ”

After Emperor Yongzhen opened his mouth to let Liao Chu repair up, he said to him: "This time, you led the troops to quell the Yanghui Rebellion and capture and kill the Wu rebels, and the merit is in Sheji, I shouldn't have called you back to Beijing in such a hurry, but recently rumors have spread in Beijing, and some people have used the mouth of thieves to provoke the monarch and ministers, and I am uneasy." ”
