Not long after calmly entering the palace, a decree went down, took back King An's original fief, and then divided it into Jiangbei Mansion, and ordered him to leave for Jiangbei Mansion on the same day without delay.

Jiangbei Mansion, in the northernmost part of the Northern Tang Dynasty, borders Heizhou in Daxingguo, the temperature is very low, the people are fierce, backward and poor, and they can't pay taxes every year, and they have to be helped by the imperial court.

There was a garrison in Jiangbei Prefecture, and the general who had just been transferred to the past was the King of Wei, who led 30,000 soldiers and horses to guard the border.

Emperor Ming Yuan's move collapsed all the forces in the Huaibei area of King An's original fiefdom, and even the forces in Beijing were completely suppressed.

However, his move is also to protect King An's life, because once Yuwenhao returns to Beijing, with Yuwenhao's deep affection for Yuan Qingling, he will definitely not let him go.

Of course, it can also be understood as protecting the reputation of the crown prince, because once he kills his brother, the prince will be stained.

Whether it is to protect the crown prince or to protect King An, Emperor Ming Yuan's move is inevitable.

But King Sun and King Qi were very unconvinced, and the two brothers entered the palace to ask to see Emperor Ming Yuan, but Emperor Ming Yuan did not see anything, and only ordered Mu Ru's father-in-law to send him away.

Gu Si took the forbidden army to keep an eye on King An, and made sure that he left the capital immediately.

After hearing the will, King An laughed wildly three times, "O Holy Monarch! ”

He was furious in his eyes, but he didn't attack Gu Si, and only ordered someone to pack up.

Princess Ann was wounded, and he insisted on taking her away.

The husband and wife, carrying several carts and a group of domestic slaves, left the imperial city in the twilight of the sunset.

King An sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked back at the city gate, his eyes were cold, he will come back, definitely!

After King An left, Di Weiming's official position was cut, and many members of the Di family were controlled and investigated by Jingzhao Mansion.

Although Di Weiming was not imprisoned, he was also invited to Jingzhao Mansion for questioning.

Emperor Ming Yuan didn't seem to plan to find out anything, he just asked people to ask questions, and recorded what he asked, but people couldn't let them go.

Concubine Di knelt at the door of the imperial study, crying for a long time, and hoarse.

Di Guifei has not been in good health in recent months, and she knelt for half an hour before she crumbled, and the imperial concubine couldn't bear to see it, so she asked someone to help her up, and said: "Go back, the emperor will naturally forgive the Di family when he is angry." ”

Concubine Di shook off the imperial concubine's hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't want a cat to cry a mouse, my son has never done anything like that." ”

The imperial concubine said: "Since the concubine believes that he has not done it, then she should also believe that the emperor will investigate clearly." ”

Concubine Di was so sad and indignant that she cried in the imperial study, "Your Majesty, he is your biological son, don't you know what his nature is?" How could he be so cruel and hurt him knowing that the crown princess was pregnant? It's all wronged! ”

There was no answer in the imperial study, but after a while, Mu Ru's father-in-law came out, invited the imperial concubine to come in first, and then lowered his voice and said to Di Guifei: "Niangniang, go back, the emperor's move is also to protect His Royal Highness King An, otherwise the prince will return to Beijing, can he spare King An?" ”

Di Guifei said angrily: "Why is he? Is he the one who fights? The fourth child has also contributed to the country, there is no evidence, what can he do? Can you still kill people? ”

Hearing this hysterical voice, Father-in-law Mu Ru frowned slightly, and said, "Will it kill people, concubine Niangniang, what do you say?" Are you willing to take the risk? ”

Di Guifei froze for a moment, her face was still unwilling, but she had sunk, "He can't be unreasonable, the fourth child won't treat the crown princess like this." ”

"Then wait for the crown princess to wake up, everything will be clear."

Di Guifei was flustered, "That'...... What if she doesn't wake up? ”

Mu Rugong's eyes looked at her sharply, and he said in a deep voice: "Concubine Niangniang, please be careful!" ”

Concubine Di looked at the door of the imperial study and was silent.

The imperial concubine entered the inside, Emperor Ming Yuan sat on the dragon chair with a calm face, and Concubine Hu was also accompanied inside, seeing the imperial concubine come in, she stood up and blessed herself, and the imperial concubine returned the salute, the two looked at each other deeply, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Emperor Ming Yuan should have returned to the palace at this time, but he was blocked by the concubine and couldn't leave here, so Concubine Hu came to accompany him.

She was not good at saying comforting words, so she could only sit with him like this.

"The emperor is angry, don't worry, the crown princess is a kind-hearted person, and she will be blessed with kindness, and she will definitely be able to spend it safely." The imperial concubine said softly.

Emperor Ming Yuan looked up at her and asked, "What's the situation over there in the Chu Palace?" Have you inquired? ”

The imperial concubine said: "The concubine ordered someone to ask, there is Mrs. Yao in town, and there is no chaos in the house." ”

Regarding the situation of the crown princess, she didn't say anything, because the imperial doctor must have reported it to the emperor.

Her voice was a little hoarse, and she had just cried in the palace before she came.

Concubine Hu said: "The crown princess has been through several tribulations, and in the end she is safe and sound, and the concubine believes that this time will be like this, Your Majesty, don't worry." ”

"Can I not be worried?" Emperor Ming Yuan's face was pale, he was angry and anxious, "The good news has been sent to Beijing, and the prince has already come back first, and he will arrive in Beijing in a few days. ”

"If you want to make trouble, there is no place to make trouble, didn't you send King An away, Your Majesty?" The imperial concubine said.

Emperor Ming Yuan said: "If you don't send it away, will you have it?" Let him leave Beijing and go to Jiangbei Mansion, the road is far away, Lao Wu is reluctant to leave the crown princess to chase and kill him, the matter has not been investigated clearly, and there can be no bloody case. ”

Concubine Hu couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, do you believe in King An?" ”

Emperor Ming Yuan's eyebrows were cold, "It has nothing to do with believing it or not, if you want to enter the crime of a prince, the crime will be conclusive, Princess Huai did not see him do it, and the imperial doctor came to report, Xi Mama checked for the crown princess, the princess has no internal and external injuries, and there is not even a bruise left after falling to the ground, and the imperial doctor inferred that he fainted before he fell to the ground, so his body was soft and did not cause bruises after falling to the ground." ”

Concubine Hu was stunned, "So, it really may not have anything to do with King An?" ”

Emperor Ming Yuan was silent, but his eyes still couldn't get rid of anger.

It is impossible to have nothing to do with it, at that time, it was not suitable to be alone at the door of the Ruyi room in King Sun's mansion, and he and the crown princess met there and did not leave immediately, and even mentioned the military map, even if he did not make a move, he must have been excited.

Father-in-law Mu Ru came in quietly and reported softly, "Your Majesty, the emperor has returned to the palace!" ”

Emperor Ming Yuan was shocked, "You've already returned?" ”

"I've returned to the Qiankun Palace, please come over." Mu Rugong is fair.

Emperor Ming Yuan immediately got up and straightened his hair crown, "Swing!" ”

Seeing this, the imperial concubine and the concubine Hu sent each other off.

Emperor Ming Yuan came to the Qiankun Palace, and saw the Emperor Taishang sitting on the exclusive small bench in front of the corridor with a blue face, smoking a cigarette pouch, he knew that the Emperor Taishang no longer smoked cigarette pouches, and now he smoked again, his heart sank, "Father, why don't you ask me to send someone to escort you when you come back?" ”

The Emperor raised his head, the smoke lingered in front of him, but he could still see that he was very tired, and his voice was also full of exhaustion, "Back and forth, it's very troublesome, there are some good medicines in the lonely palace, come back and ask someone to pick it up and send it to the crown princess." ”
