Chapter 257: Holy One, Do You Really Want to Listen?
The door of the main hall was pushed open by the little eunuch, and the empress in a dragon robe strode in, and Kou Dong'er followed closely by her side.
"Slaves participate in the saint, long live my emperor, long live!" Zhou An stepped forward, no need to kneel, bowed and saluted.
"Xiao Anzi, it's a blessing......" The empress seemed to have a lot to say and a lot of things to ask, but when it came to her mouth, she was happy.
"It's all what a slave should do, it's not hard." Zhou Andao.
The empress saw that Zhou An was in a good state of mind and did not seem to have any injuries on her body, so she was relieved, and Zhou An's return could be regarded as a shot in the arm for her.
"It's none of your business." The empress turned around and said.
The palace maids and eunuchs who followed all retreated, only Kou Dong'er remained in the main hall, and when everyone else went out, Kou Dong'er closed the door.
"Xiao Anzi, I heard that you were hunted down by Our Lady of the Pure Land, but is it true?" The Empress asked.
"It is true." Zhou Andao.
"What about Yunjing?" The empress asked again, her tone was a little anxious, Zhou An returned safely, naturally she got rid of the pursuit, and the empress was thinking about her sister now.
"The Holy One doesn't need to worry, on the night that Our Lady of the Pure Land assassinated the minion, the servant sent someone to escort His Highness out of Liangcheng, and the slave was hunted down by the Holy Mother of the Pure Land for a few days, His Royal Highness has gone to Yourong Prefecture, count the days, it is time to go to Rongcheng, it is estimated that in two days, King Rongjun will send you a message......"
"Rongcheng ......" The empress was shocked, and she breathed a deep sigh of relief in her heart.
Princess Yunjing went to Rongcheng and went to her uncle, naturally it was extremely safe, and the people of the rivers and lakes did not dare to set foot in the boundary of Rongcheng, and it was even safer than the capital.
The forces in the capital are staggered, and the empress is still playing with Wu Xukuan, and neither she nor Wu Xukuan has the ability to organize people from the rivers and lakes to come to Qianjing.
But Rongcheng is different, the Li family has been operating there for too many years, the king of Rongjun is not a vassal king, but he is better than a vassal king, in Rongcheng, the Li family acts without any checks and balances, it is really what you want to do, and you can kill whoever you want.
Before, a large number of Jianghu people gathered in Liangcheng to assassinate Zhou An.
This kind of thing, if it is placed in Rongcheng, it will never happen, because the people of the rivers and lakes dare not go, once the people in the rivers and lakes in Rongcheng suddenly increase because of this kind of thing, the Li family can even directly seal the city, and then send a large army to slaughter the people in the city.
Rongcheng has an army of 100,000 troops!
With such military strength, it is enough to slaughter the city, not to mention only slaughtering a few people in the rivers and lakes.
Princess Yunjing went to Rongcheng, and naturally she would be protected immediately, even if she still had a Jianghu chase order on her head, she was worry-free.
"Huh?" The empress reacted suddenly, frowning and looking at Zhou An, "Why don't you let someone escort Yunjing back to Beijing?" Instead, let her go to Rongcheng, which is farther away? But Yunjing is messing around with you? Or are you ......"
Princess Yunjing left the palace without permission in order to escape from marriage.
Zhou An naturally knew about this, after all, from the empress's point of view, even if the news didn't spread, Princess Yunjing had come to Zhou An's side before, and she must have told him.
"Holy Lord, the current situation in Qianjing is chaotic, and the return of His Royal Highness is not beneficial except for increasing variables, and besides, when the slaves are hiding from the pursuit of the Holy Mother of the Pure Land, they are also fleeing to the capital, and His Highness cannot go in the same direction with the slaves......" Zhou An's explanation is reasonable, but the empress does not believe it.
Everyone knows that Princess Yunjing and Zhou An have a very good relationship, and in terms of the relationship between master and servant, the two can be said to have a close personal relationship.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Zhou An to help Princess Yunjing escape from marriage, not let her return to the capital, and not give the empress a chance to marry again.
The empress stared at Zhou An, muttered for a moment, but raised her hand again: "That's it, hey!" ”
She sighed, walked to the table and sat down, and said: "It's not good for me, I shouldn't force her like that, it's okay if she goes to Rongcheng, Lao Shuai's side, I have an explanation for the time being......"
Zhou An didn't pick up the empress's stubble.
It's useless to say more, anyway, now that Princess Yunjing has gone to Rongcheng, the marriage will definitely not happen.
"How's it going? You made such a big deal in Liangzhou, but did it ever have a result? The empress looked at Zhou An again and asked.
"The slave is fortunate not to be dishonored, Prince Ning is dead!" Zhou An stood beside the empress and bowed.
"Dead?" The empress squinted, and her face was a little wrong.
In fact, Zhou An's task is to capture Prince Ning alive, and he can only kill him if he can't catch it.
After all, Prince Ning is the eldest brother of the empress, although the empress has no relationship with this eldest brother at all, the age gap is too big, when the empress was three years old, Prince Ning was abolished and left Qianjing.
The empress wants to live, naturally, not because of feelings, but because of reputation.
It is no secret that Zhou An stirred up the wind and rain in Liangzhou and caused a catastrophe in the rivers and lakes, everyone knew that Zhou An was sent by the empress, and he did so in order to kill Prince Ning, and now that Prince Ning is dead, the empress's reputation will inevitably be damaged.
However, the recent news from Liangzhou did not say that Prince Ning was dead.
The people in the rivers and lakes are still looking for Prince Ning.
But now, Zhou An said that Prince Ning was dead.
"Holy Lord, you can rest assured, waiting for the news of Prince Ning's death to spread, it will not make you burdened with stigma......" Zhou An knew what the empress was thinking, so he said.
"Oh?" The empress looked at Zhou An, "Isn't Prince Ning killed by you......?"
Even if it wasn't killed by Zhou An, the pot had to be Zhou An's back, because the matter in Liangzhou was provoked by him, and it made no difference whether Prince Ning died at the hands of the Jianghu people or Zhou An.
"Prince Ning was designed and killed by the minions, not by the minions themselves......"
"How did you kill it, tell me in detail!"
"This ...... Do you really want to hear it, Holy One? Zhou An hesitated, "This plan of the minions, speaking of which...... I'm afraid of getting your ears dirty. ”
"Say!" The empress's expression became serious.
"Come on...... Zhou An nodded, and had to say, "That's the case, after the slave arrived in Liangcheng, he rebelled against the holy woman sent to Liangzhou by the Pure Land Sect, named Bai Xiaokui...... Afterwards...... And then ...... And then it was messed up...... And then...... Prince Ning went to Liangcheng and wanted the lights to be dark...... Our Lady of the Pure Land also arrived on the same day. ”
"This Prince Ning is incompetent and lustful, and Our Lady of the Pure Land is with him...... The minion and Bai Xiaokui met in private......"
"Bai Xiaokui tricked Prince Ning into taking the special elixir refined by the minions, and ...... with the Holy Mother of the Pure Land And then ...... He died suddenly on the belly of the Virgin Mary of the Pure Land......"
Zhou An gave a detailed account of the situation.
The empress bowed her head at first without hearing anything wrong, and then she was stunned when she listened.
"Now, the reason why there is still news of Prince Ning in Liangzhou is that the Pure Land Sect arranged to confuse the people of the rivers and lakes, and the Holy Mother of the Pure Land also wanted to atone for his sins in order to conceal the death of Prince Ning, so he chased and killed the minions...... This matter has nothing to do with the Holy Lord, and when the news of Prince Ning's death spreads, the Pure Land Sect and Wu Xukuan will become a joke all over the world. ”
After Zhou An finished speaking, his expression was a little proud, he was really a genius.
The empress has been shocked, why is this okay?
Squeak!
There was a sudden strange noise in the inner hall, and then a woman's scream sounded: "Little eunuch, I'll your grandma!" Poof......"
