On the carriage, Lu Xiu was listening to Lu Yun tell what happened.

"And then?" Lu Xiu asked softly.

"After the explosion, I was stunned. By the time I woke up, the man was gone. Lu Yun replied: "Then I went around the cave, and I didn't find the entrance to the cave until today, but I found myself on the back side of the mountain. ”

"Hmm."

Lu Xiu had inspected the scene, and felt that Lu Yun was not lying, but he always felt that there was still a part of the truth that was hidden by him. But Lu Yun didn't say it, and it was inconvenient for him to get to the bottom of it, so he sighed lightly and said, "You may not know, it was Pei Valve's person who assassinated you." ”

"Huh?" Lu Yun said with a shocked face: "I have no grievances with them, why do you want to assassinate me?" ”

"I've interrogated the people who have been caught, and they're just doing what they're told, saying they're doing someone a favor." Lu Xiu carefully said: "It seems that they are also being used." Afterwards, Pei Valve didn't make a noise, and he didn't even send anyone to check it, obviously preparing to suffer this dumb loss. In this case, it is not good for the valve master and the deputy sect master to ask the master immediately, let us find you first, and then make a calculation. ”

Lu Yun nodded, and asked in a low voice, "Then...... What about my mother? How about now? ”

"Fortunately, the lady of the valve owner was not injured, but she was very frightened, and she was sent back to the valve to recuperate on the same day." Lu Xiu hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell Lu Yundao: "Yesterday, I heard that she had become a nun in the Lotus Nunnery, and it is estimated that she felt guilty because of your affairs, and after you go back, maybe things will take a turn for the better." ”

"Alas......" Lu Yun was like a mirror in his heart, Mrs. Lu became a monk not because of herself, but because her own son wanted to kill her. This poor woman has been praying for her son for half her life, but waiting for such a result is unbearable for anyone.

Thinking about it like this, his resentment towards Mrs. Lu seemed to have diluted a lot, and he looked out the window and stopped talking.

Lu Xiu knew that this time the matter was full of weirdness, and it was likely that it would be inseparable from Mrs. Lu, but this was the owner's family matter, and it was not something that he, an outsider, could put his beak in, so he would not talk about it anymore.

Longmen is only more than ten miles away from Luodu, and the carriage drove into Dingdingmen in half an hour.

。

Although Lu Yun's distress has caused a lot of waves in Beijing, the focus of the attention of the officials and people of Luodu in the past few days is the crown ceremony of the four princes.

His Royal Highness the eldest prince, Huangfu Xuan, is a full twenty-one years old, that is, ordinary people, and he has already given birth to children at this age, and children can run all over the ground. But he has been dragged and cannot be crowned, and he is still a child in his twenties...... This has naturally caused a lot of discussion in the market, and the common people are full of sympathy for this poor prince who has a mother and is equal to no mother, and naturally scolds the old lady for being too domineering, and even a child has to be bullied.

This year, the news that the four princes were crowned together came, and the people were very happy. Although it seems to be a little unfair to the eldest prince to feel like this, how can ordinary people understand the mystery? It was only a spontaneous celebration of a grand event of the dynasty.

A month before the crowning, when the Qintian supervisor set a good day, the Ministry of Industry prepared the crowned clothes for the four royal highnesses, and the Hanlin Academy wrote a congratulatory text, which was undertaken by the Chinese Book Province, and the Ministry of Rites specifically operated it, ordering a certain official to be a guest and an official to praise, so naturally there is no need to repeat it.

Two days ago, the Zongzheng Division sent an official to sue the Heaven and Earth Sect Temple. Last night, the Ministry of Rites set up the throne incense case in the Jianyuan Palace, set up the washing in the east step, set up the crown prince crown seat in the southeast of the hall, set up the liquor seat on the west step, Zhang curtain in the east order, set up the mattress in the curtain, and opened the curtain outside the order. The orientation of the furnishings and the guards of honor are arranged in strict accordance with the weekly etiquette, and there is no mistake.

Today's Chenshi ceremony begins, after three drums, the four royal highnesses under the guidance of the Ministry of Rites, come to the throne in turn to salute the emperor, and then descend to the east step, after accepting the civil and military officials, the Shao music masterpiece, the complicated coronation ceremony officially began. washing, washing, washing, washing, wading, watting, crowning...... Every step must be played with music, greetings, long but not the slightest mistake.

This is too difficult for Lu Xin today. His only son was buried at the foot of Longmen Mountain, his life and death were uncertain, and his wife became a nun again, and he had to think about how to retaliate against Pei Valve next, how could his mind still stay in this Ziwei Palace? It's long since it flew to the edge of the sky.

Fortunately, Wei Qing knew about his situation, took the initiative to stand next to him, and whispered to remind Lu Xin what to do next, so that he didn't make a fool of himself?

。

Xiahou Ba was dressed in a crown dress and sat on the viewing seat, gloating with a grim face. Although Lu Xin made a small move at the crown ceremony, he asked the four princes to take turns to crown according to the eldest and youngest, instead of crowning together as mentioned before, and using this way to highlight the difference between the eldest and the youngest, highlighting the position of the eldest prince, which made the old lady very unhappy.

But as soon as he saw Lu Xin's strong face, he couldn't help it. Who would have thought that the scourge boy who was helpless would actually let Pei Valve's people be buried under Longmen Mountain? Although he lost hundreds of Pei Valve's elites, it was not a person from Xiahou Valve, and the old lady naturally liked it.

"Okay, wow." The old lady pulled her beard and closed her mouth happily.

"The old lady is very happy today?" The Initial Emperor glanced at Xiahou Ba, and his heart was extremely unhappy. The life and death of the good seedling he was about to rely on just now was uncertain, and it was actually Pei Valve, who claimed to be effective! After knowing this, he was so angry that he hadn't slept well for several nights.

"The grandsons of the old man are really outstanding." Xiahou Ba casually perfunctory to the initial emperor, and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty has a successor, my Daxuan's future is bright, and the old minister is naturally very happy." ”

The initial emperor was so angry that he clenched his fists, but he couldn't do it, so he had to glance at Pei Qiu, who came to watch the ceremony on behalf of Pei Valve.

Pei Qiu is dumb and eats Coptis chinensis, and he can't say anything about his suffering, so he can only swallow his anger silently, and he doesn't say a word with a black face.

At this moment, suddenly a small yellow door rushed to the emperor's ear and whispered a message.

"Oh?" When the Initial Emperor heard this, he hurriedly confirmed, "Really? ”

"Really." Xiao Huangmen said softly: "The carriage has returned to Beijing, and not a single hair has been injured." ”

"Good!" The Initial Emperor suddenly raised his voice and glanced at Xiahou Ba proudly.

Xiahou Ba asked inexplicably: "Your Majesty, what are you happy about?" ”

"Naturally, it's the same as the old lady, there are successors to Daxuan, and the widow is really happy today." The original emperor returned the old lady as it was, and deliberately said to the little yellow door: "Go and tell Lu Shangshu that his son has returned safely, and not a single hair has been hurt, let him put his heart back in his stomach and preside over the crown ceremony for the widow's son." ”

"What?" Xiahou Ba's eyes widened, and he shouted in depression: 'How did you let that kid escape again?' ’

Thinking of this, he also glared at Pei Qiu fiercely, and secretly scolded Pei Valve for being useless, and he couldn't help the kid surnamed Lu with so many lives.

'Why do you use Lao Tzu as a punching bag?' Does my Pei valve look good to bully? ’

The king of Fenyang County was so angry that he almost flipped the table and left.
