Chapter 69: Return to the capital
Although Feng Yu had already expressed her attitude from the beginning, Mrs. Thorn Shi did not give up easily, and always asked to see Feng Yu and intercede for Lu Yunpeng.
Feng Yu felt that Lu Yunpeng was self-inflicted, and he hadn't been examined in detail yet, and if he investigated carefully, he didn't know what hurtful things he would find.
But on the other hand, Feng Yu was a little pitiful to Mrs. Shi, and after a day in the two emotions, Feng Yu found Xiao Yan and offered to return to Beijing immediately.
Now that the mastermind behind the assassination has not been found, and two felons Sun Jianye and Lu Yunpeng have been caught, Xiao Yan was afraid that he would have a long night, so he agreed to Fengyu's request.
So in the early morning of the third day, Feng Yu and Xiao Yan escorted Sun Jianye and Lu Yunpeng back to Beijing.
The road back to Beijing was quite peaceful, and nothing happened along the way, but this did not make Fengyu relax.
Feng Yu knew that someone wanted her and Xiao Yan's lives, the enemy was in the dark, they were in the light, even if they had been on guard, the enemy would always find a gap to get in.
There was still a day's journey from the capital, so Xiao Yan wrote to Feng Yi to inform him of the news of his return to Beijing and the approximate time of arrival.
After Feng Yi got the news, he was overjoyed and immediately went to the emperor.
"Father, the sons just received Qiluo's letter, tomorrow Qiluo and Xiao Yan will return to Beijing, the sons want to go out of the palace to meet them, and ask the father to be gracious."
"Kira is back?" The emperor was a little excited, and hurriedly put down the fold in his hand, got up and walked in front of Feng Yi.
"They came back from Gangnam? Will you be in the capital tomorrow? ”
Feng Yi nodded seriously and replied: "The letter does say that it will arrive tomorrow, if nothing else, after noon, my father will be able to see my sister." ”
"Okay, okay, you bring someone to pick it up tomorrow, Kira has been away for so long, I miss it very much." The emperor smiled happily, completely forgetting how angry he was when he learned that Feng Yu also went to Jiangnan.
"Father, rest assured, the son will definitely bring his sister back as soon as possible, so that his father and sister can be reunited."
The next day, Feng Yi prepared the men and horses early in the morning, and then came to the outside of the capital in advance to wait for Feng Yu and Xiao Yan.
After waiting for a long time, Feng Yi saw a team coming slowly, he rode forward on horseback, and recognized Xiao Yan's people in the team.
"Princess, general, the eldest prince is here."
When Feng Yu, who was sitting in the carriage, heard this, she immediately stopped the team, and then jumped off the carriage with a happy face.
At this time, Feng Yi had already ridden to him, and as soon as he got off the horse, he saw Feng Yu running towards him, and happily greeted him and stretched out his hands.
Feng Yu ran over and threw herself into Feng Yi's arms, happily calling 'Brother Huang', while Feng Yi hugged her with a doting face, "My sister is finally back, and my father and brother are worried about death." ”
"I miss my father and brother so much."
Xiao Yan walked over and looked at the two of them, and said with a smile on his face: "It seems that the eldest prince came here just to take the princess back to the palace." ”
"Of course, it's to pick up Kira, do you think that this prince is here to pick you up?" Feng Yi raised his eyebrows and quipped.
Xiao Yan looked at him and shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I am fortunate to see the eldest prince today, and I am still blessed by the princess." ”
Feng Yu let go of Feng Yi and stood aside, looked at them and said, "I said, the way you two greet each other is really special." ”
Hearing this, Feng Yi and Xiao Yan looked at each other and smiled, then raised their hands and slapped each other's shoulders.
Feng Yi looked at Xiao Yan and smiled, and said, "Welcome back." ”
Xiao Yan smiled at him, and then said, "Let's get in the carriage together, and I'll tell you about what happened after you left by the way." ”
The three of them got into the carriage, and the procession moved slowly in the direction of the capital.
In the carriage, Xiao Yan told Feng Yi about the assassination he and Feng Yu encountered, Feng Yi felt that something was strange, and the three of them discussed it, thinking that the assassins should be the same people.
Although I don't know why those assassins changed their targets to Feng Yu and Xiao Yan after they failed to assassinate Feng Yi.
After all, it was in Jiangnan at that time, and there was another incident of the governor taking bribes and buying and selling official positions, and this matter was widely implicated, and it was difficult to guarantee that it would not be the people involved in this incident who bought murder and killed people.
Hearing that Xiao Yan was injured in the assassination incident and almost lost his life, Feng Yi felt very guilty in his heart.
"Xiao Yan, this time I dragged you down, and those assassins are all going for me."
"If I hadn't returned to Beijing at that time, they wouldn't have attacked you, and they almost killed you."
Feng Yi looked at Xiao Yan guiltily, he really felt that the target of those assassins was him, because of Xiao Yan's interference and his departure, the assassins assassinated Xiao Yan.
"You're thinking too much." Xiao Yan looked at it with a serious face, and said in a serious tone: "How can it be said that it is dragging me down?" You are the eldest prince of the Northern Capital, and you will be the emperor of the Northern Capital in the future, and as a courtier, I naturally have the responsibility to protect you. ”
"Besides, with your friendship with me, if you are in trouble, can I sit idly by?"
Feng Yi stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and said, "It's really my honor to make a friend like you in this life. ”
"It's also my pleasure, the Great Prince."
The three of them laughed in the carriage, and when the matter was finished, the procession came to the palace gate. Before going to the imperial study to see the emperor, Feng Yi said to Feng Yu: "You have to be ready, my father knows that you went to Jiangnan with you, and he is still angry at the moment." ”
Sure enough, when they entered the imperial study, Feng Yu and Xiao Yan asked the emperor for peace, but the emperor ignored it and didn't even raise his head.
Feng Yu looked at Feng Yi who was standing next to her, Feng Yi said that she couldn't help, so Feng Yu got up from the ground and walked in front of the emperor.
"Father, the son knows that he is wrong."
The emperor snorted, continued to review the folds, and said, "Why are you wrong? ”
"Erchen shouldn't have deceived his father, saying that he left the palace to accompany his aunt, but secretly went to Jiangnan." Feng Yu bowed her head and admitted her mistake.
"Erchen misses the imperial brother and wants to see him as soon as possible, so he will do this in a hurry."
Seeing that the emperor still refused to look at him, Feng Yu directly stretched out her hand to hug him, and said coquettishly: "Father, the son really knows that he is wrong, and the son will never dare to lie to his father next time." ”
Saying that, Feng Yu shook the emperor while continuing to coquettishly say: "Erchen went to Jiangnan, and he missed his father every day, and now he finally returned to the palace, and his father still ignored his son, and Erchen felt so sad." ”
How could the emperor stand Fengyu being so coquettish, sighed deeply, turned his head to look at her and said, "Father is too spoiled by you on weekdays, so you dare to deceive your father." ”
Feng Yu let go of the emperor, looked at him with an aggrieved face and said: "Erchen went to Jiangnan this time, and there were many dangers along the way, and he went through nine deaths before he came back to see his father. ”
"Father, you have been angry and ignore your sons, and your sons are so sad."
Hearing Feng Yu say that he had experienced all kinds of dangers along the way, the emperor immediately relented, and hurriedly asked, "How can you die nine times for a lifetime?" Are you hurt? Father, Emperor Xuan, Imperial Physician, came to show you. ”
Feng Yu shook her head with a smile and said, "Father doesn't have to worry, although the journey is difficult, but fortunately, there is a general to protect his son, and his son is fine." ”
Hearing this, the emperor looked at Xiao Yan and said, "I have already heard Yi'er say that Aiqing went to Jiangnan this time and encountered a lot of things, so Aiqing will explain them to me one by one." ”
"Yes, I obey."
So the emperor pulled Feng Yu to sit beside him, and then listened to Xiao Yan talk about what he experienced in Jiangnan, Feng Yu would interject a few words from time to time, most of which were how Sun Jianye bullied the people.
After Xiao Yan finished talking about the matter, Feng Yu said to the emperor: "Father, the son still has something to tell his father." ”
"When Erchen was investigating Sun Jianye's corruption and perversion of the law, he accidentally discovered that Zhao Gouzhong, a third-grade official, was full of private pockets."
As soon as the words fell, the emperor slapped on the table, and said with a gloomy face: "There is such a thing, it seems that I am too careless." ”
Feng Yi and Xiao Yan glanced at each other and didn't speak, Feng Yu quickly patted the emperor's back and said comfortingly: "Father is angry." ”
After a while, the emperor looked at Xiao Yan and then at Feng Yu, and said: "I am very pleased that you went to Jiangnan this time, worked hard to eliminate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and escorted all the way back to Beijing to await trial. ”
"Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Xiao Yan clenched his fists and bowed his head and said: "The emperor is serious, this is a matter within the responsibility of the ministers, and there is no need for a reward." ”
"Let not the sons of the courtiers be rewarded." Feng Yu shook her head, put her arm around the emperor and said, "As long as the father and emperor are no longer angry with his sons, that will be the greatest reward for his sons." ”
"One yard to one yard, I must reward you." The emperor said righteously, and then called Gonggong Li, and planned to reward Fengyu and Xiao Yan on the spot.
The trip to Jiangnan came to an end, and then Feng Yu sent Xiao Yan out of the palace, and on the way to the palace gate, Xiao Yan said to Feng Yu: "I suddenly miss the days in Jiangnan a little." ”
"Why?" Feng Yu looked at him puzzled.
Xiao Yan looked at Feng Yu and smiled meaningfully, and said, "Because you can see the princess every day." ”
Feng Yu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and when she saw Xiao Yan's eyes looking at her, she was very happy, but she pretended to be serious and said: "It's not early, you better get out of the palace quickly." ”
"Isn't the princess a little reluctant?" Xiao Yan showed an aggrieved look, and when he saw that Feng Yu was unmoved, he sighed helplessly.
"Okay, then I'll go."
"After a long period of work, the princess has a good rest tonight, and I will enter the palace to visit the princess tomorrow."
"Okay." Feng Yu smiled and nodded, and watched Xiao Yan walk towards the palace gate.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Xiao Yan turned around and looked at Feng Yu with a reluctant face, but the guard next to him made a sound, and he turned around and left.
After sending Xiao Yan away, Fengyu went back to her bedroom, and on the way back, she couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Xiao Yan's actions just now.
When approaching the dormitory, Fengyu saw Hui Guifei on the road, and Hui Guifei came straight to her with someone, and the expression on her face was very ugly.
Feng Yu sighed helplessly, she had just returned to the palace and had not taken a breath, so she had to deal with this difficult woman.
I really won't let her rest for a moment.
