Chapter 65: Disaster Relief in the South

Huo Lingxiao was beaten by the emperor, and he was unwilling, but he still did not stop investigating.

Touching the line of Lord Yan, the servant of the ministry, Huo Lingxiao's face became more and more solemn day by day, and the assassination of the prince seemed to be just the tip of the iceberg of a huge conspiracy.

Starting from the servant of the ministry, as the investigation deepened, the curtain slowly opened, and the treacherous and changeable political turmoil revealed his hideous minions.

From the son of the servant of the ministry, to the servant of the ministry, and then to the secretary of the military department, Huo Lingxiao became more and more frightened, this huge network of relationships was woven step by step, and the whole country seemed to be under his control.

Looking at the messy notes on the table, Huo Lingxiao picked up his pen, carefully sorted out these clues into a text, wrote them on the secret fold, and presented them to the emperor with the guards.

The next day, the emperor summoned Huo Lingxiao into the palace. On the long palace road, Huo Lingxiao walked forward quickly, with words organized in his mind, how to persuade His Majesty to cut this dense net and collect the scattered people.

Who would have thought that when he stepped into the Jiaotai Palace, he threw it over with a fold, followed by an angry shout from the emperor - "Kneel!" ”。

Seeing the emperor behaving like this, Huo Lingxiao's heart was at a loss, how could his father react so violently, this is not like his father.

"Bring this bullshit stuff and fuck off!"

"Father!" Huo Lingxiao shouted, "Please listen to your son's words!" ”

"Do you think I'm getting old, and I still need you a yellow-mouthed kid to remind me?" The Emperor squinted dangerously, speculating at Huo Lingxiao.

"Erchen would never dare to think like this, but this matter is very important, and Erchen dare not say anything!"

Seeing that Huo Lingxiao was still obsessed, the emperor shook his head in disappointment and said, "I have been in charge of this country for many years, do you really not know what the people below do?" He let out a long sigh, "Rats have rat paths, cats have cat paths, Ling Xiao, you should understand this truth." You are already the son of a daughter, but the people below also have some way to live, as long as it is not related to the safety of the country, what are these things..."

Huo Lingxiao was thoughtful and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the emperor again, "Ling Xiao, think about it carefully, is it faster to annihilate this conspiracy in one fell swoop, or is it all the turmoil in this way, and the country will be destroyed in the end?" ”

"That's it, stand down and think about it! Don't live up to my expectations of you. Speaking the last sentence, the emperor deliberately accentuated his tone, squinted his eyes slightly, lowered his chin, and raised his eyes to say meaningfully.

Back in the mansion, Huo Lingxiao had these words lingering in his heart, and his heart was mixed. After all, the father is old, the majesty of the year has long since disappeared, and in the face of such a shocking conspiracy, the old dragon subconsciously chose to escape.

He was still not very reconciled, and continued to order his subordinates to follow the clues to investigate downward, inch by inch, thinking that he was careful enough, but he never thought that he still alarmed the old fox in the court, and in front of the emperor, he arranged Huo Lingxiao with some meaning.

The investigation at hand had not been carried out for a few days, and Huo Lingxiao was summoned to the palace again.

When I entered the palace this time, what I was waiting for was not the emperor's determination to make up his mind to investigate thoroughly, but it was a paper order.

Huo Lingxiao stared at what was written in the holy decree and looked at the emperor in disbelief. "It's... This. For a moment, he lowered his eyes feebly and accepted the fact.

"The son's decree will live up to his father's expectations." He paused word by word, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

Seeing Huo Lingxiao obediently responding, there was a trace of satisfaction in the emperor's eyes, "When I learned of the great drought in the south, I was very anxious in my heart, and I hated to go in person, so I had to ask the three princes I valued the most to go to the disaster relief." He looked at Huo Lingxiao, turned to a kind face, and instructed: "Lingxiao, you have to take care of the mountains and rivers for me, if you return safely, I will definitely be rewarded!" ”

Peaceful...... Will you be able to come back safely? Huo Lingxiao laughed at himself, returned home and began to pack his bags.

Soon, the news that the emperor sent the three princes to the south for disaster relief spread throughout the government and the opposition. In the eyes of the outside world, the three princes, who were the most imperative for the crown prince, were demoted out of Beijing by the emperor.

In the harem, this news also flew to every corner. When Concubine Lin heard this, she was overjoyed for a while, and her eyebrows fluttered to announce Huo Lingyu's entry into the palace, asking him to grasp this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Huo Lingyu naturally also learned the news, listening to what his mother said, a trace of yin flickered in his eyes, outlining a casual smile, and he casually dealt with his mother concubine.

Huo, Ling, Xiao, Wei, Xi, Yue, he said word by word, silently reciting the names of this pair of "dog men and women" in his heart, heh, Huo Lingxiao is gone, Wei Xiyue's biggest backer is gone, I want to see if you can escape the palm of my hand.

Huo Lingshen knew that the third brother was going to leave Beijing and go to the wild land in the south, and his first reaction was to go with the third brother. was about to rush to the third brother's house, he stopped at the courtyard gate, the third brother would not agree, if he begged his grandmother to agree, with his grandmother's consent, the third brother would not be able to stop him.

"Prepare the car! Let's go to the palace! ”

Seeing the Queen Mother, Huo Lingshen changed his hippie smiling face and cynical attitude in the past, and said to the Queen Mother: "Grandmother, I heard about the drought in the south, my grandson is very anxious, the third brother is here, and the grandson can't take his place as a substitute, so that the grandmother agrees to the grandson's request, so that the grandson and the third brother go together!" ”

The Queen Mother had not yet recovered from the fright of Huo Lingshen's assassination before, and when she saw that he had asked for his order to go to such a place where the people were fierce, she was even more frightened in her heart, and she couldn't do anything.

"Grandmother, please listen to your grandson." Seeing that the Queen Mother was not allowed, Huo Lingshen hurriedly put his views together, "As a prince, Sun Er is still worshiped by all the people, and now that the people are in trouble, the sons and daughters naturally cannot escape, this is one of them; The third brother is the eldest brother of the grandson, and the eldest brother has set an example, how dare the grandson fall behind, this is the second; This is a long journey, the third brother went alone, I believe that the grandmother and the father will not be able to put their hearts at ease, if the grandson and the third brother go together, the two will also take care of each other. ”

The Queen Mother wanted to interrupt Huo Lingshen's words several times, but Huo Lingshen made a generous statement and was passionate, and after saying this, the Queen Mother was speechless, she stared at Huo Lingshen for a long time, and sighed.

"That's it, whatever you want." Even though the Queen Mother was displeased in her heart, she couldn't stand Huo Lingshen's righteous and strict words, so she had to agree.

"The emperor, the mourning family will say it for you, you can go and prepare with peace of mind......" This child has been an unstoppable character since he was a child, I just hope he can have a long memory this time.

After leaving the palace, Huo Ling Shen rushed to the Wei Mansion, intending to resign from Wei Xiyue, but was told that Wei Xiyue was not in the mansion and vaguely went to the Golden Valley Garden.

What did Xiyue do in Jingu Garden? Huo Lingshen was puzzled in his heart, and when he learned that Wei Xiyue had just set off not long ago, he stood in place and thought about it, wanting to go to the Golden Valley Garden to find Wei Xiyue.

As soon as he entered the Golden Valley Garden, he saw Wei Xiyue walking out in despair.

Wei Xiyue recalled what Huo Lingxiao said, once he left, it was no different from being degraded out of Beijing, and I was afraid that it would be difficult along the way. Huo Lingxiao still has to protect himself, but he himself is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river - it is difficult to protect himself.

"Xiyue, Xiyue!" shouted twice, seeing that Wei Xiyue still didn't react, Huo Lingshen was in a hurry, he flew and jumped, landed in front of Wei Xiyue, and beckoned.

"Huh?" Wei Xiyue suddenly woke up from her thoughts, looked up in confusion, and saw that it was Huo Lingshen, she forced a smile and softened her voice.

"Your Highness Eleven, what a coincidence."

"Unfortunately, I'm here for you!" Huo Lingshen was not polite to Wei Xiyue, and said excitedly.

"Grandmother promised me, I can go south with the third brother!"

"What!" When Wei Xiyue heard this, it was already very dangerous for Huo Lingxiao to go alone, and if he brought Huo Lingshen again, he was afraid that it would be more troublesome.

She wanted to speak and stopped, looking at Huo Lingshen's expression, she couldn't bear to break it, she just muttered about what to prepare when she went out.

All the way back to the mansion, Wei Xiyue was depressed, sitting sullenly in the courtyard, staring at the blue sky on that side.

Seeing this, Liu knew that Wei Xiyue was unhappy, so she stepped forward lightly and sat down beside Wei Xiyue.

"Sister Yue'er, you are a free eagle in the sky, this boxy yard can't trap you, if you want to do it, let it go!"

"Mother..."Hearing Liu's words, Wei Xiyue's heart swelled with a warm current, she took her mother's hand, and was about to say something, when a crisp child's voice sounded.

"Eldest sister, don't worry, I will also take care of my mother!"

Wei Xiyue turned around in surprise and saw Wei Qinghe swearing and promised. Wei Qinghe has grown a lot since he was calculated by the old lady, and the old lady was choked by herself a few times, presumably it has also stopped a lot, plus there is also the help of the three rooms, the mother and the younger brother should be a lot safer.

She calmed down a lot, got up and said to her mother, "Mother, I'm going to my grandmother's." ”

Liu Shi looked at Wei Xiyue gently, and gently instructed: "Go, be careful." ”

When Mrs. Wei learned that Wei Xiyue had invited herself to go south, she was overjoyed and left the capital.

She suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, forced herself to pretend to be amiable, and pretended to ask Wei Xiyue to pay attention to safety all the way.

When Wei Xiyue turned around and left, she immediately sent someone to call the second room, Wei Feiyu learned that her mother was going to the old lady, and pulled the Chen family to be spoiled, to seize this lazy opportunity and go together.

In the old lady's room, the old lady lightly talked about Wei Xiyue's southward journey, and the two of them were overjoyed, and Wei Feiyu couldn't wait to step forward.

"Grandmother rest assured, this matter will be handled by her grandson, and it will be to the grandmother's satisfaction."

Back in the house, Wei Feiyu withdrew from the subordinates, stood in front of the bookcase, and after a little thought, the delicate hairpin Xiaokai wrote a letter and summoned the subordinates to pass it to the fourth prince Huo Lingyu.

Huo Lingyu received a letter from Wei Feiyu, and it was really "no place to find when you step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it", and he was worried that he had no chance to deal with Wei Xiyue, but the opportunity was sent to the door.
