Chapter 68: Lu Xin's arrival
General Guo knew that no matter how much he explained, it would be justification in the eyes of the emperor, so he knelt in the palace wordlessly and waited for the emperor's fate.
Li Qingyuan was furious and said angrily: "If my future queen has three longs and two shorts, I will let you all be buried together."
Everyone was terrified, and they knelt down and did not dare to speak.
General Guo thought for a while and said to the emperor: "Back to the emperor, the old minister thinks that Miss Xin'er will not be in danger."
When Li Qingyuan heard this, a look of surprise flashed on his face, and he asked very puzzledly, "How did you know?"
General Guo said: "According to what Lao Chen saw that night, it is concluded that Miss Xin'er and the black-clothed people led by those are acquainted, and Miss Xin'er did not have any tearing and resistance with them from beginning to end, and she went with them voluntarily. Or maybe Miss Xin'er deliberately lured them to take them away. β
After Li Qingyuan heard this, he was extremely shocked in his heart, he would rather hear that Xin'er was abducted by someone than hear that she left voluntarily. What does this mean? Xin'er has really made up her mind and is she disheartened with herself? Have you really let go of yourself completely?
Li Qingyuan didn't care about being angry, and asked again: "Does the other party have any traces to follow?" Can you find out who did it? β
General Guo said: "According to the minister, it is very likely that the group of black-clothed people are killers from Iris Valley, but this is just Wei Chen's speculation, and there is no definite evidence to prove that it was the people of Iris Valley."
As soon as General Guo's words came out, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
As we all know, Iris Valley has always been strange and erratic, committing murder and collecting money to buy his life is even more cruel. The people killed were all people of status and status in various countries, and the people who were killed were all skinned alive and then died with a disembowelment. Talking about the cruelty of Iris Valley has always made the rivers and lakes frightened.
Li Qingyuan had an expression of disbelief on his face, and he thought, "Xin'er is so pure, how can it have anything to do with such a terrible Iris Valley?" Impossible, impossible, I must find out who did it? β
But he can't rule out the possibility of this, there are more than 100 guards in the General's Mansion, although not all of them are masters, but they are also strong generals. There is also one of the general's escorts, which is a master gathered from all over the world, and so many people can't stop the dozen or so men in black, and it also makes the general lose a lot of soldiers. But the other party does not lose a single soldier, on the contrary, he can retreat and take people away. Such a powerful organization, with precise defense, must know everything in the General's Mansion very well, and if you remove Iris Valley, you really can't find any force that can do it.
Li Qingyuan said to the dozen or so people kneeling in the hall: "You all get up, and leave this matter to the general to investigate, and retreat!"
General Guo said: "Weichen takes the order."
Everyone said in unison, "Wait and go."
Li Qingyuan fell into a lot of trouble, and the most painful thing for him was Lu Xin's departure, which really made him too sad. He read in his heart: "Xin'er, you are so ruthless, how can you tell me that if you don't love, you won't love?" Why just won't you give me another chance? Why did you leave without even saying a final goodbye? Li Qingyuan couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of the heartache.
Mai Feng looked at the emperor's extremely sad appearance on the side, and he was really speechless and comforted. He thought: "No amount of consolation I can restore the fact that Miss Xin'er left." I can only hope that the emperor will cheer up, and don't be too sad! Alas......! β
Mai Feng said: "Your Majesty, let your subordinates secretly investigate this matter, right?" If this has something to do with Iris Valley, maybe there's an even bigger conspiracy behind the scenes. β
After Li Qingyuan heard this, he suddenly felt refreshed, and he said: "That's right, that's right, whether it was Iris Valley or not, I must find out clearly, and I will never spare anyone who dares to confront me."
Li Qingyuan said ruthlessly, and asked Mai Feng to investigate the matter thoroughly.
The next day, Xuanyuan Rui took everyone in the house out of the capital together, and the team of more than 100 people was also huge, and there were as many as five carriages accompanying him. Among them, two carriages were carrying Xuanyuan Rui's eight concubines, one carriage was carrying food supplies, one carriage was for Xuanyuan Jun, and one was for Lu Xin, and Xiao Xuan was already sitting in it waiting. At this time, Xiao Xuan was fidgeting and thinking: "I don't know how long it will take to see Miss, I hope Miss must wait for her to come safely."
In the carriage that Li Ji was riding, the other three concubines had been chatting happily, they were Xu Ji, Li Ji, and Zhang Ji. The three of them were secretly jealous of Liki's favor, but on the surface they didn't dare to fight her more. Especially when he returned to Yu to establish the country this time, all the people in the palace knew that the prince was going back to inherit the throne this time, and then they would enter the harem to receive the emperor's reward, and they would be mothers. In case his grade is below Liji at that time, he will inevitably look down at her and look at her face. Therefore, no one is easy to offend now, and who can figure out his position in the prince's heart?
Xu Ji said: "Why do we have so many people cramming into a carriage? It's really suffocating me to sitting with someone I hate. Xu Ji said as she glanced at Liji.
Zhang Ji said: "Forget it, Sister Xu, I will be able to return to Yu Liguo in more than a month, and it will not be too late!"
Li Ji also echoed and said: "Yes, Sister Xu, you are going to suffocate to death for such a month, if you enter the palace in the future, how can you be right for a lifetime!"
As soon as Xu Ji heard Li Ji's words, her heart became even more angry, she always felt that she was not worse than Li Ji, why did she become the most favored person?
Li Ji pretended not to hear the words of the three people, and sat quietly looking at the scenery outside the window, her ignorance and silence made Xu Ji and the three of them even more uncomfortable, but they didn't dare to attack them blatantly.
Liji thought in her heart: "Poor, wait for me to become the queen, see if you dare to be presumptuous in front of me."
In another carriage with concubines, several beautiful concubines happily talked about what happened after the prince returned to China.
Fan Ji said happily: "Sisters, after the crown prince ascends the throne, how many concubines do you say the prince will canonize us?"
Zhu Ji also said happily: "I don't care how many concubines I canonize, I only care about being able to stay by the prince's side, and I'm satisfied."
As soon as Zhu Ji finished speaking, the other three all said with disdain: "I don't care, that's because now the prince is still in your business, and when the harem beauties are three thousand, and we are old and decrepit, if we don't win the status level, then what will be waiting for us?" Sister Zhu, don't be naΓ―ve. β
Chen Ji said again: "Sister Zhu doesn't care about glory and wealth, that's true, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go to see Sister Zhu at least once a month, which means that His Royal Highness the Prince has her in his heart, why do you need to be as sad and rich as us?"
Zhu Ji heard the sourness in their words, and she didn't mind in her heart, she smiled and said: "Sisters and sisters, you have misunderstood, the prince is the same to us, and he has never been biased against anyone, this time the prince returns to the dynasty and may not know how dangerous the road ahead will be, but we sisters must live in harmony to really think about the prince."
Wan Ji, who had been silent, also spoke: "Yes, ten fingers are long and short, and it is inevitable that the prince will treat anyone a little more and a little less." In the future, let's stop talking about these intrigues, if the prince listens to it, he will definitely be unhappy. β
Everyone then fell silent, each fantasizing about the future.
Near noon, Chen Qing ordered the team to stop and rest, and the people sitting in the carriage all came down to breathe.
The housekeeper Uncle De asked the man to distribute food and water to everyone, and the eight concubines sat around and waited for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to have lunch together. When the food for lunch was put on the table one by one, no one had seen the prince, and Uncle De still didn't see His Royal Highness the prince for some reason, so he went to Chen Qing and asked.
After Chen Qing whispered a few words to Uncle De, Uncle De realized that the prince had left the team not long after he walked out of the capital. He hurriedly ran over and said to the concubines, "Please have dinner first."
After listening to Uncle De's words, the eight concubines all looked at each other. Zhu Ji and Wan Ji both asked worriedly, "Uncle De, why doesn't Your Highness dine together?" But what's the discomfort? β
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Zhu Ji is too worried, His Royal Highness is fine, but he left because he had something important." Let you dine first, and your Highness will come to meet us in the next moment. β
After hearing this, Zhu Ji smiled reassuringly and said, "I see, sisters, then let's have dinner first!"
About an hour later, everyone had finished their meal and was talking and laughing, when they suddenly saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Chen Ping riding a tall horse slowly walking towards everyone.
Everyone had a surprised expression on their faces, just because they saw Lu Xin in Xuanyuan Rui's arms, and the two of them were sitting together on horseback, like a pair of men and women in love who were playing in the mountains and rivers. Everyone watched and whispered.
Especially Xuanyuan Yue's class is even more dumbfounded, some of their eyes contain anger, some are jealous, and some are puzzle......d. And Xu Ji, Li Ji and others, who had a relationship with Lu Xin in the mansion before, finally recognized Lu Xinlai.
Zhang Ji exclaimed, "Then, isn't that Miss Xin'er?"
Some concubines asked curiously, "What Miss Xin'er, why haven't I seen it?"
"Yes, yes! Who is this woman? Why did His Highness put his arms around her? β
"Humph! Damn, there is another vixen who seduces His Highness. The speaker was none other than Xu Ji, and she glanced at Li Ji as she spoke.
Only Reiki, Joo-hime, and Wan-hee didn't speak, but when they watched this scene, they also skipped a sense of loss and sadness in their hearts. Li Ji hated Lu Xin even more, and a pair of eyes were staring at Lu Xin from far and near.
