The bells rang one after the other, and there was no intention of stopping.

The voice was not very loud, but to Mrs. Wu, it was extremely harsh.

The emperor died......

She didn't hear any news!

Mrs. Wu's thoughts were many times more chaotic than just now.

In this way, I heard about the noise on the street last night, but it is not a rumor. And Lu Qingrong didn't return all night, and he appeared early in the morning with the people of the Zhenbei Iron Rider, so he must have something to do with this matter!

Could it be that you really went to force the palace......

With her own life, Mrs. Wu really couldn't think of any other possibility.

What she is most concerned about at the moment is the ownership of the throne.

Mrs. Wu had the heart to ask, but she didn't know how to speak, so she just waited for Lu Qingrong for a while, and didn't say a word.

As soon as Lu Qingrong entered the door, his eyes swept over the teacups scattered with broken porcelain on the ground, and when he saw Mrs. Wu waiting there, he was relieved, but he didn't pay attention to it.

This time, Lu Qingrong didn't even save the courtesy, looked directly at Cao's mother, and asked, "Is the prince back?" ”

Mother Cao was stunned at first when she heard this, and she didn't know why Mrs. Shizi had such a question, so she bowed her head and replied after a while: "No." ”

Such a simple question and answer, listening to Mrs. Wu's heart, it was like being poured a scoop of cold water.

Jiang Xuan was imprisoned in the criminal department for many days, even though he proved his innocence, because there was no holy decree, he had not yet been released. Why did Lu Qingrong think that Jiang Xuan might be back at this time?

Mrs. Wu was a little afraid to think about it.

I only hope that An Lebo can fight for some anger and make a difference before the arrival of the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry, so as to ensure that everything goes well for the Empress Dowager Wu and the eldest grandson of the emperor......

The uneasiness in my heart is hard to suppress. Mrs. Wu couldn't help it, and didn't care about the presence of the generals of the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry and Mo Nan and others in the front hall, so she took the lead in attacking Lu Qingrong: "You are so bold!" I didn't make a sound and didn't return all night. He also mingled with the people in the army...... Even if you don't care about your reputation, don't implicate the Hou Mansion and bear this crime of rebellion with you! ”

Mrs. Wu couldn't wait to button Lu Qingrong's hat, as if this would make her feel more steady.

Lu Qingrong disagreed.

She stayed awake all night yesterday, and she was pregnant, and she really felt tired when she returned home, and she sighed at this time. sat down opposite Mrs. Wu, and then slowly spoke:

"Madame's mouth is in a hurry to arrange these charges on me! I believe it won't be long. There will be guilty and deserving people to match them! ”

Mrs. Wu was speechless for a while, and soon forcibly retorted: "Obviously it is your own guilt, don't frame others like this!" ”

"Someone else?" Lu Qingrong chuckled, "Say so." Madame knows who I'm referring to. ”

Mrs. Wu was furious. But he still couldn't hide the intensification of uneasiness in his heart.

Lu Qingrong said slowly at this time: "Whether it is framed or not, it doesn't matter if I say it, and it doesn't count if Mrs. says it, it won't be counted until the emperor says it." ”

Mrs. Wu snorted coldly, and slandered in her heart: The emperor is dead, what else to say......

Wrong!

What Lu Qingrong is referring to is probably not ......

Mrs. Wu's head suddenly buzzed, and it seemed that the bell ringing in her ears was nothing.

At this time. There was a commotion outside the door.

Jiang Xuan is back.

Seeing him stride into the front hall with his head held high, the little thought that Mrs. Wu had left disappeared.

Seemingly. There is no need to ask about the ownership of the throne.

If it was the eldest grandson of the emperor who succeeded to the throne, even if Jiang Xuan would be released, it would never be possible to do so soon!

Jiang Xuan also ignored her and accepted the salute of the rest of the people.

Facing the general of the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry, Jiang Xuan didn't say much because of the large number of people in the hall at this time.

He walked up to Lu Qingrong and picked up what she had just said.

"The emperor does have an explanation. An Lebo transferred troops without authorization, disturbed the Beijing division, and was punished for the crime of treason, and the emperor personally ordered the beheading. It is extremely benevolent for the nine clans to be exempted from capital crimes and exiled instead. ”

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Wu's eyes went dark, and she slowed down for a long time before she could speak: "What are you talking about?!" The emperor wants to behead An Lebo? Didn't the Queen Mother stop it? ”

Mrs. Wu was a little incoherent, and actually asked about this in front of Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan didn't care, but patiently explained her doubts: "Now, she is already the empress dowager...... In addition, the emperor remembered that the empress dowager was very old, and had personally decreed that she would be disturbed in the palace, and as soon as the emperor's mourning period passed, he would let her old man move to Xiyuan, which was the most suitable for recuperation. ”

Jiang Xuan's words did not directly answer Mrs. Wu's question.

Mrs. Wu heard it clearly.

Today, the Wu family, which was very prosperous back then, collapsed in an instant.

The Wu family in the capital was all driven to Liaodong, and even the queen mother in the palace was not spared and moved to Xiyuan, what is the difference between this and exile!

At this point, Mrs. Wu's face was already like ashes, and she simply asked, "That...... What about the emperor's eldest grandson? ”

"The eldest grandson of the emperor has invited himself to guard the spirit of the first prince, and he will leave tomorrow." Jiang Xuan replied expressionlessly.

Mrs. Wu thought that there was nothing that could shock her anymore, but it was not.

Not to mention that the first prince has been dead for many years, just now that the first emperor has just died, he is in mourning, and the eldest grandson of the emperor is going out of the city to guard the spirit of the first prince!

It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no meaning of punishment......

Madame Wu couldn't say a word anymore, just froze there, as if she was frozen.

Jiang Xuan said at this time: "Madame, let's go back to Qinyi Courtyard first, there have been a lot of things recently, and there is a lot of news in the palace, and it is not something that can be explained clearly in a sentence and a half." ”

Mrs. Wu no longer had the strength to fight, and although she did not respond, she quickly stood up and walked towards the door in despair.

Lu's mother immediately followed.

Before going out, Mrs. Wu's footsteps suddenly stopped for a moment, looked back at Lu Qingrong, her eyes were complicated, and she glared at her fiercely before turning around and leaving.

On the way back to Qinyi Courtyard, Mother Lu judged the situation and couldn't help reminding: "Madam, now that the situation is urgent, do you want to ease the relationship with Yuyuan...... After all, the second prince succeeded to the throne, and our backers all fell one by one, if we do it with Yuyuan so openly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of the whole body......"

Madame Wu was silent for a moment, and seemed to be thinking seriously about this issue.

But she finally shook her head: "Three feet of ice is not a day's cold." Our relationship with Yuyuan is no longer something that can be eased if we want to! Instead of lowering your posture and letting others slaughter, it is better to resist it first, get through this period for a while, and there will always be a day when the clouds will be open! ”

Mrs. Wu certainly felt isolated, but there was still hope for her!

When Jiang Ke returns triumphantly, it will be his real day...... (To be continued.) )
