104. Return to the palace

"The Ninth Princess has returned to Beijing, the Ninth Princess has returned to Beijing......"

As soon as the group walked to the gate of Kyoto City, they saw that the people were all excited and kneeling down to greet each other, and some even cheered and ran to the city to tell each other, and even the soldiers guarding the city on the city tower rushed down to greet them, and their eyes were full of sincere respect and worship when they looked at Qingyun.

Looking at the subjects who welcomed them on both sides, there was a shallow smile on the faces of the light clouds, and there was emotion and helplessness in their hearts.

On the morning of leaving Liulin County, where Xueyun Peak belongs, Qingyun and Sima Rui and others walked out of the inn, and someone recognized Sima Rui and Mo Xuan, so as to guess Qingyun's identity.

It turns out that the matter of Nanyang County has almost been known to the world, and all kinds of rumors have emerged in endlessly, but the most widely spread and most talked about is that in order to cure the epidemic in Nanyang County, the ninth princess not only did everything herself, but also risked her life to spread the epidemic, and finally found a cure and rescued tens of thousands of people who were under threat of death, which is really admirable.

Several counties and counties passed by in succession, and encountered people kneeling on the ground to greet each other, and the group had to choose secluded paths to walk day and night to avoid such a situation.

I thought that it would be okay to return to the capital, so Qingyun also took off his disguise, but I didn't expect it......

In front of the palace, Emperor Huiwen looked at the end of the long street, his hands under the robe of Ming Huanglong were clenched and he tried his best to restrain himself from trembling lightly.

Jiu'er finally came back safely!

"Here, Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess is back......" Leng Yi on his side looked excited, and there was joy and relief in his voice that could not be concealed.

The sound of horses' hooves came from afar, rolling up bursts of dust, and a lilac figure gradually appeared in everyone's sight, with long ink-colored hair and white fox fur blowing against the wind, like a moon Chang'e, and like an eagle soaring, the posture stretched and heroic, chic and elegant.

Walking three feet away from everyone, Qingyun grabbed the horse and jumped down, galloped to Emperor Huiwen, his movements were smooth, his mood was excited, and he saluted: "The son sees his father, and his father is blessed!" ”

Sima Rui and the others who followed him knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Hurry up!"

Stretched out his hand to help his beloved daughter, looking at the starry eyes like Hong, the eyebrows were quiet and resolute, although the beautiful and refined face was thin and slightly tired, but it was still difficult to hide the noble and elegant temperament of the beloved daughter, Emperor Huiwen was full of distress and pride: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" ”

Everyone standing behind Emperor Huiwen knelt down and saluted, shouting in unison: "Nine princesses Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”

Waving his hand to signal everyone to get up, Qingyun smiled at Leng Yi and nodded, then looked at Emperor Huiwen and said, "The son is not filial, and Emperor Lao moves to the palace gate." ”

"What a stupid thing to say, my beloved daughter has returned safely, and I will come to greet her in person."

Seeing the love and doting on Emperor Huiwen's elegant face, Qingyun's heart swelled with boundless emotion, and a faint mist floated in her starry eyes, the old-timers said that it was not right, it was not that her father was fortunate to her, but that she could have this selfless father who loved her, and it was a blessing that she had cultivated in several lifetimes!

"In less than two months, the Ninth Princess has cured the plague that has been so distorted and helpless since ancient times, and saved tens of thousands of people from the shadow of death. The prime minister on the left suddenly spoke quietly.

In the blink of an eye, he stared at the prime minister who seemed to be gratified, but in fact his eyes were gloomy, his eyes were as quiet and pure as a hollow valley, and as deep and silent as an autumn pool, and there was an unreachable faint smile on his lips.

Is he finally no longer pretending to be sick and hibernating?

"The prime minister's words are wrong, the matter of Nanyang County is the result of the concerted efforts of my court's subjects and subjects, and it is Mo Gongzi and the imperial doctors who have developed the method of curing the epidemic, as well as the local doctors, not the work of this palace alone. Father, son, please be rewarded for meritorious deeds. The latter sentence is addressed to Emperor Huiwen.

Emperor Huiwen nodded: "Jiu'er's words are very agreeable!" ”

"Since the ninth princess has been cured of the plague, why don't you return to Beijing as soon as possible, so that the emperor worries day and night?"

"When will the palace return to Beijing, my father hasn't said anything, why is the prime minister so anxious? Could it be that the prime minister can't wait for the palace to come back? ”

"The old minister is terrified!" The prime minister knelt down and defended: "The old minister is just worried about the emperor's dragon health. ”

"If the prime minister really wants to share his father's worries, why doesn't he go to the court to discuss politics after being sick for two months?" If you don't go out of the nest, how can Hongu pull out your fox tail?

"The ...... of the Nine Princesses"

"That's it!" Emperor Huiwen glanced at the prime minister majestically, and then turned to look at his beloved daughter who was already gentle and loving: "Jiu'er must be tired all the way, go back to the palace to rest early, if you have anything to say, you will talk about it later." ”

"Sons obey orders!"

Seeing the gloom in the prime minister's eyes, a trace of coldness crossed Qingyun's lips, and he took Emperor Huiwen's arm and left proudly.

Luoxia Palace, Lan Jue and Zhuyue, who were waiting at the gate of the palace when they heard the news, as well as Mama Shen and all the palace maids and eunuchs saw Qingyun, and they were immediately excited: "The princess is back, and the subordinates (old slaves) (slaves) (slaves) and slaves (slaves) have finally brought the princess back......"

Waving his hand to signal everyone to get up, Qingyun smiled and said, "I have worked hard for you when this palace is away. ”

"The subordinates (old slaves) (slaves) (slaves) don't work hard, as long as the princess returns safely!" Tears welled up in everyone's eyes.

Mama Shen held her sleeve to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and after ordering everyone to disperse, she said to Qingyun: "The princess has worked hard all the way, the old slave has prepared hot water, the princess washes first, and then rests well." ”

"Okay."

Washing away the tiredness and dust, Qingyun leaned against the bed rail, elegantly sipping the hot tea brought by Lan Jue, looking around at the familiar furnishings, and feeling infinitely emotional: It feels good to go home!

Lu Po was ordered by Qingyun to go back to the room to rest, so Lan Jue and Zhuyue were waiting, looking at Qingyun, who had a much thinner face, both of them had tears in their eyes: "The princess has suffered these days. ”

"It doesn't matter." Qingyun slowly shook the teacup in his hand: "Tell me what happened during this time?" ”

Lan Jue replied truthfully: "There are no major events, the things that the princess ordered before leaving are going well;

It's just that after the princess left Beijing, the emperor would come to Luoxia Palace every day, and he stayed for most of the day, and the mood was not particularly good, and then he heard that the princess had an accident, and he was even more worried that he couldn't sleep and eat, so that he fell ill.

Half a month ago, General Situ secretly came to find the princess, and it seemed that he had something important to report to the princess, and after knowing that the princess had gone to Nanyang County, she never came again;

And the prime minister has been recuperating at home, closed doors, until today did he go to the court to discuss politics, the prime minister's house people also stay in the house, although the surface is no different, but during the period the prime minister's house housekeeper has been to the city twice'Splendid Fang', after investigation, its shopkeeper background is complicated, in order not to startle the snake, Miss Qiao arranged someone to monitor his every move, and wait for the princess to come back to decide.

The concubine is still the same, and she has not taken half a step out of the palace gate;

In addition, King Chun also accepted Lin Yiwei, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Zhang Lianwu, the daughter of Zhang Zishan, the head of the household department, as side concubines. ”

Month by month, he said: "As soon as the news of the princess's accident reached the capital, there were rumors that the princess had encountered an accident when she was infected with the epidemic, which caused panic among the subjects.

Also, the subordinates and other secret investigations know that the left and right protectors of the Absolute Dust Palace suddenly entered the world, but their whereabouts are secret, I am afraid that there is a plot, but the subordinates have not been able to find out their specific traces, nor have they been able to find out where the old nest of the Absolute Dust Palace is, please punish the princess. ”

"The Absolute Dust Palace can resurgence several times and its power is huge, its subordinates are by no means ordinary, you don't need to blame yourself, everything is according to the original plan." Qingyun lowered her eyes slightly: "Lan Jue, inform General Situ to come to see me immediately." ”

Could the man in black who robbed Li Feishuang that night be one of the left and right protectors? Is the poison of Nanyang County related to the Absolute Dust Palace? What is the purpose of the two of them joining the WTO?

I wonder if Situ Jingyu got the account book collected by Feng Bin? And what kind of uproar will the contents of the ledger set off?

Soon, Situ Jingyu quietly came to Luoxia Palace with Lan Jue: "The minister has seen the ninth princess, the ninth princess Jin'an!" ”

"General Situ, please. But got the evidence? ”

Looking at Qingyun who was slightly tired between his eyebrows, Situ Jingyu was full of pity, opened his mouth but didn't say anything, took out the account book from his arms and handed it to Lan Jue, who handed it to Qingyun with both hands.

Carefully flipping through the contents of the ledger page by page, Qingyun's brows became tighter and tighter, and by the time he finished reading, his face was clear, and his eyes were as deep as an abyss: "These corrupt officials and corrupt officials even dare to embezzle the silver taels used by the imperial court to repair the river, which is a great crime!" ”

"Ninth Princess......" Situ Jingyu looked at her with a worried expression.

Signaling Lan Jue to hand the account book to Situ Jingyu, there was coldness and pain in the bottom of his eyebrows: If it weren't for this gang of scum, why would the people on both sides of the river be homeless due to the flooding?

Situ Jingyu was also angry and hateful after seeing it.

"Ninth Princess, the officials recorded above have either disappeared or disappeared, it is not easy to trace the whereabouts of the dirty silver and punish it, and the amount of dirty silver embezzled by these people is very small, and the whereabouts of the largest amount of dirty silver are unknown, so it is really tricky to trace, and it will even ......"

"No matter how difficult and dangerous it is, this palace must find out clearly, and never let go of any scum of the court who dares to endanger the peace of the country and the society and ignore the life and death of the people!"

In Yanqing Palace, the concubine stared at the black-clothed man in front of her with her eyebrows raised, and her beautiful face flashed with gloom and resentment: "You can't even kill a little slut who has no power to tie the chicken, it's just a bunch of waste!" ”
