Chapter 258: The Siege of the Mansion

Liu Tong entered the palace and returned to Emperor Yuanwu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info After handing over the errand, he waited for Emperor Yuanwu's next instructions.

Emperor Yuanwu pondered for a moment and said: "You have also worked hard during this time, let's rest for a while, and stay in Beijing to spend more time with my wife and children." ā€

Liu Tong paused on his face, and said, "Thank you, Father." ā€

Emperor Yuan Wu waved his hand, and his gaze at Liu Tong was a little complicated. But it was fleeting, and Emperor Yuanwu said, "Go down." ā€

Liu Tong retreated as he said and came out of the palace, and the fourteenth prince was waiting outside.

Seeing Liu Tong, he immediately rushed up and asked, "Brother Jiu, what did my father say?" Did you send something for you to do again? ā€

Liu Tong shook his head, and his tone was a little complicated: "My father asked me to stay in Beijing and rest for a while. ā€

"Then Brother Jiu, do you want ......?"

Liu Tong waved his hand: "I am no longer working in the household department, and my father also made it clear that I should rest...... It really gives me a rest. ā€

The fourteenth prince sighed, looked at Liu Tong and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Liu Tong smiled.

"Brother Jiu, everything I've done recently has not been smooth." The fourteenth prince said: "There are still some things that my father didn't let me do, so I handed them over to the twelfth brother." Now everyone says that the twelfth brother is the prince's person. ā€

The fourteenth prince pursed his lips: "Ninth brother, is the twelfth brother still on our side?" ā€

Liu Tong patted the fourteenth prince on the shoulder and responded to him softly: "Fiction and reality, how can you tell so clearly." ā€

"But ......"

"Alright, you have your errand, try to do it. Without your errand, it's good to be idle. ā€

The fourteenth prince answered, followed Liu Tong forward, and asked him again: "What is Brother Rui's plan...... Is the war in Yanbei still stable? ā€

"Who can say clearly about the war."

Liu Tong sighed lightly and comforted the Fourteenth Prince: "Let's just do what we can." ā€

The rest, even if the time and place are favorable, depend on the will of heaven.

Liu Tong went back to the house, because he had no errands on him, so he was idle all day long.

But he also enjoyed it, often took Liu Jingyang, and then went to Ruiwang's Mansion to kidnap three nephews and take them out to play.

Ruiwang's eldest son, Liu Jingqian, is ten years old, and he is a little adult, following his uncle and three younger brothers, and he rarely shows a little smile on his face.

In the royal official school, because of the relationship between King Rui, the boys were reluctant to get too close to Liu Jingqian, especially the sons of the prince, who were even more hostile to Liu Jingqian.

This also made Liu Jingqian precocious, and he was quite stable at a young age, lacking a little bit of the vitality that a teenager should have.

Liu Tong is idle, and Chang Runzhi is also in a good mood.

Although she already had a premonition that there would be great changes in the future, Liu Tong gave her a reassurance, and Chang Runzhi felt that she should be able to face it calmly at that time.

The days passed quietly, and two months later, summer was in full swing.

Chang Runzhi felt a little unwell, and vaguely felt that he should be pregnant. Because he was afraid that it would not make Liu Tong worried, he kept it a secret, and only waited for the doctor to diagnose it before telling him the good news.

Early this morning, Liu Tong went out to meet friends and wanted to discuss with Yao Chengxi the repertoire planning of the Xixing Club for the next month.

Chang Runzhi called the doctor to check the pulse and confirmed the good news of pregnancy.

She was overjoyed in her heart, and told her close maids Qiulin and Agarwood not to publicize the matter first, and planned to tell Liu Tong in person.

However, she didn't wait for Liu Tong, but waited for the news that the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion was besieged.

My heart was full of joy, and I suddenly fell into panic.

Qiu Lin was so anxious that he couldn't do it.

The princess is pregnant, but there has been such a big change in the house. If it's not good, the princess is only two months pregnant!

Qiu Lin hurriedly asked the people from the outer courtyard to inquire about the news, and then learned that it was the emperor's personal guards who besieged the mansion, because the Nine Emperor Princes had committed a big crime by entering the palace, His Majesty ordered the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion to be encircled.

Qiu Lin didn't dare to hide it and told Chang Runzhi the news.

Chang Runzhi sat upright, constantly taking deep breaths to calm his mind.

"Do you want to know what His Highness has committed?" Chang Runzhi asked in as calm a tone as possible.

Qiu Lin shook his head: "The guard who led the troops didn't say anything, and said that there is only one woman in our house, the princess, and it is not convenient to deal with the princess." ā€

Chang Runzhi pressed her heart tightly, Agarwood looked at her worriedly, and said carefully: "The princess must take care of your body, you are still pregnant." ā€

Chang Runzhi exhaled and asked again, "What about Yangyang?" ā€

"The little boy is still asleep at this moment." Qiu Lin said: "The slave maid went to bring the little boy?" ā€

"Bring him with him when he wakes up."

Chang Runzhi stood up slowly, and Qiu Lin hurriedly supported her.

The emperor's army besieged the palace, which was already an extremely ominous omen.

No matter what, Chang Runzhi has to prepare for the worst.

Although they had already guessed that the emperor would take some action against Liu Tong, they didn't expect this action to be so sudden.

But now, she can't help but be lucky.

After asking clearly that the pro-guard army only surrounded the entire prince's mansion and did not take any other actions, Chang Runzhi ordered to go down and said: "Qiu Lin, tell Quanda, let people count all the people in the mansion first, most of the people in the mansion are from the Western Regions, if they sign the deed of sale, return the deed of sale to them; If they sign the labor contract, change the labor contract to a month before and let them all leave the house. This is the key to the deed cardboard box. ā€

Chang Runzhi handed Qiu Lin the small key he put close to him, and Qiu Lin burst into tears: "The princess ...... princess"

"Let's go." Chang Runzhi urged: "Now that they are surrounding the mansion, they may enter the mansion in the next moment." Time waits for no one. ā€

Qiu Lin agreed, wiped his tears and hurried away.

Chang Runzhi invited agarwood again: "You also followed Qiu Lin, took out the key to the warehouse, took out the sorted gold and silver, and distributed it to everyone with Qiu Lin according to the amount of ten taels per person." ā€

Agarwood asked hesitantly, "The princess wants to ...... us all Kicked out of the house? ā€

"If the Nine Emperor Princes have escaped this catastrophe without danger, everyone wants to come back, and they can come back. If...... It's better to plan ahead and run for your own lives. ā€

Chang Runzhi's tone was gentle, but Agarwood heard a bit of heaviness.

She took the key to the warehouse and followed Qiu Lin with heavy steps.

Some people in the mansion were reluctant to leave, hoping to advance and retreat with the Nine Emperor Princes and Nine Emperor Princesses, Chang Runzhi put on a master's posture, forcing them not to talk about those morals at this time.

"If there is a fate, everyone can still get together. If not, why bother to be buried with us today? Chang Runzhi's words were brief, but his tone was resolute: "Let's go." ā€

So the guards guarding the door of the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion watched the subordinates of the Nine Emperors' Mansion who had packed up their burdens, and asked to leave the mansion one after another.

The guard officer looked at everyone's deeds one after another, checked the baggage they were carrying, and, of course, dutifully rubbed some oil and searched for it before letting them out of the house.

These people were all free men who worked, and there were no clear instructions from above, and the guards asked people to copy the names and surnames of the people who left the palace, and they did not stop them.

A pro-guard muttered in a low voice: "This Nine Emperor Princesses are merciful. ā€

"The catastrophe is coming, this can be regarded as doing something good, maybe you can accumulate some virtue and change it for a better result?"

As he was discussing, the Yellow Gate, which was holding the Ming Huang Holy Decree in his hand, rode over and shouted, "There is a holy decree-"

The door of the Nine Emperors' Mansion was wide open, and Chang Runzhi took Liu Jingyang by the hand, standing calmly in front of the mansion.

What the fate will be, it depends on this holy decree. (To be continued.) )
