Because they had been assassinated by Dongling Yan, on the way back, it was difficult for Chu Nanyue and Dongling Shuo to really relax.

They traveled day and night, and finally rushed back to the capital. However, after thinking about it, I was embarrassed.

Chu Nanyue is now on the bright side, and he didn't go to court on the pretext of illness, and at this time, he came back with Donglin Shuo to meet the emperor, it was inevitable that he would be embarrassed, and it was almost impossible to lie.

So after arriving in the capital, Chu Nanyue was ready to go his separate ways, and took the initiative to say: "Sixth Highness, I secretly left the capital under the pretext of recuperating from illness before, and now that I am back, it will be inappropriate for me to appear again." ”

Although Dongling Shuo wanted to go back to the palace with Chu Nanyue, after thinking about it, he also felt that what Chu Nanyue said was extremely true, so he replied: "That's fine, General Chu has not been in the general's mansion for many days, and presumably the garrison on the outskirts of Beijing and other matters will also be dealt with intensively for a while." ”

Chu Nanyue bowed slightly, the two said goodbye, Chu Nanyue was about to go to the General's Mansion, but saw a team of Imperial Forest Army surrounding, and the leader saluted Donglin Shuo.

"Sixth Highness, after Your Majesty asks His Highness to come back, he will enter the palace to meet you." The first one.

"Hmm." Tanglin Shuo responded.

Although he didn't know that the emperor's men and horses would be waiting here, he was not surprised.

The Emperor's Hidden Dragon Guard can be said to have hands and eyes to the sky, how many places he has passed along the way, if he can't even find his whereabouts, then he will lose the reputation of the Hidden Dragon Guard.

Chu Nanyue stood aside, always feeling empty in her heart, after all, she had found a reason before, saying that she was sick.

Now she is standing with Tanglin Shuo in full view of everyone.

Chu Nanyue knew that he shouldn't take the initiative to explain, because this would seem to be the place without three hundred taels of silver, and he was extremely deliberate.

So Chu Nanyue turned around and was about to leave silently, but was blocked by those people.

"General Chu, don't worry, Your Majesty is letting you enter the palace with His Royal Highness the Sixth." The man said respectfully.

Chu Nanyue heard that he was respectful, but there was a kind of toughness that could not be refused, it seemed that it was indeed the emperor's order, and she had to see her.

Chu Nanyue and Dongling Shuo exchanged a look, and they were somewhat prepared in their hearts.

Now that it was just dawn, there were few people on the street, Chu Nanyue and Dongling Shuo went to the palace under the escort of the Royal Forest Army.

Because he has been here many times, Chu Nanyue is a little familiar with the road of the imperial study.

After entering the imperial study, Chu Nanyue quietly glanced at the emperor, and after not seeing him for a few days, he saw that he was already full of vicissitudes of life, and he seemed to be haggard.

"Father, the son is back." Tanglin said loudly.

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Tanglin Shuo with concern, and his eyes finally brought some joy: "Shuo'er, you are really fine." ”

The emperor's eyes looked at Donglin Shuo back and forth for a while, and seeing that he was not injured in the slightest, he finally felt at ease.

And a few black-clothed guards standing straight next to them hung their heads and waited for the emperor's order.

The emperor only waved his hand, and they knew how to leave.

Chu Nanyue knew that this was most likely the legendary Hidden Dragon Guard. And this organization, in fact, she has only heard the detailed situation from the mouth of Tanglin Shuo.

It's almost like a legend.

Chu Nanyue had a lot of conjectures about them, but it wasn't until he saw Yin Longwei that he admired and respected the emperor.

"Father, it's the son's retainer who is not good, so you are worried." Aventurine Road.

The emperor looked at him: "You lost news on the front line, how can you not let me worry about this?" The Hidden Dragon Guard dispatched, and only then did I get your news. But since you have a plan with Wang Chang, why don't you say it in advance? ”

"Where's the plan?" Tanglin Shuo smiled bitterly, "Erchen was assassinated, and he was forced to do so at that time, so he pretended to be missing and avoided the limelight. ”

The Emperor nodded deeply, but in the face of Tanglin Shuo, he neither asked who the assassin was, nor did he take the initiative to talk about the results of the investigation of the Hidden Dragon Guard.

Where Chu Nanyue stood, he only felt that he was a little redundant to see their father and son talking at this moment, so he guessed the emperor's intention to insist on letting him come.

Coincidentally, the emperor noticed her again and asked, "General Chu, are you getting better?" ”

The indifference in the emperor's eyes, how could Chu Nanyue not see it?

Hearing this, Chu Nanyue immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, there will be the crime of bullying the monarch in the end, I hope Your Majesty will punish you!" ”

Dongling Shuo didn't expect Chu Nanyue to admit it so quickly, and he felt panicked for a while, but he was still sensible, and he believed that Chu Nanyue would take the initiative to admit it at this time, and he must have a suitable explanation.

"Oh?" The emperor glanced at Chu Nanyue, "I don't know, you still have the crime of bullying the king, when did you deceive me, and now you take the initiative to admit the crime." ”

Chu Nanyue didn't raise his head, but said: "Your Majesty, the last general will take leave from the imperial court on the grounds of illness, but in fact, he will go to the north to find the traces of His Royal Highness the Sixth." In the end, I am worried that leaking the news will complicate the problem, but after all, I have deceived the emperor, and the crime of bullying the king is really true. ”

The emperor has always heard that those ministers have found some reasons for themselves to ask him for forgiveness, but today Chu Nanyue responded sincerely and was willing to be punished by him.

The emperor was not completely ignorant of Chu Nanyue's whereabouts, but it was precisely because he really knew what Chu Nanyue was leaving Beijing for, and he couldn't bear to punish Chu Nanyue.

"There is nothing wrong with you going to save the sixth prince of the dynasty, and now that the sixth prince has come back safely, I probably really have a credit for you. It's just that...... What does this have to do with you from the beginning? The Emperor asked.

No matter how much Chu Nanyue cares about the members of the royal family, he should also do things according to the procedure.

Dongling Shuo disappeared in the north, and the people sent by the emperor to the north, as well as the accompanying deputy general Wang Chang and others searched together, where did Chu Nanyue go?

Chu Nanyue listened to it at the moment, and also felt that his behavior was not very appropriate, and it was easy to arouse suspicion. I'm afraid that the emperor will suspect her personal relationship with Tanglin Shuo because of this, it is possible.

She was about to open her mouth to explain a few words, but she heard Donglin Shuo take a step ahead of her and said to the emperor: "Father, General Chu came to the rescue because he was entrusted by his sons. ”

Chu Nanyue looked at Dongling Shuo in surprise, and in the emperor's eyes, there was no less doubt than Chu Nanyue.

"Shuo'er, what did you say?" The emperor asked, "You don't have to speak for General Chu, your assassination in the north is unexpected, where can you entrust it to General Chu?" ”

"Father, the son is not a cover for General Chu, but before he went to the north, he had a conversation with General Chu and asked General Chu for a trick or two, and he wanted to support me in times of crisis." Aventurine Road.

Seeing that the emperor was obviously suspicious, Tanglin Shuo took the bag out of his arms and presented the note again.

This note is also the strategy that Chu Nanyue had previously set for Dongling Shuo when he was at war with the Xiongnu.

Chu Nanyue's affairs in the court are often presented on weekdays, and the emperor has seen a lot of this, and he actually has an impression of her handwriting.
