Chapter 339: The Wind Blows
The imperial city was in a storm for a while, and even several high-powered ministers, except for the previous court, began to close their doors!
At this time, Cheng Wangye, who had been playing outside, suddenly came back.
This person once fought with the first emperor against the king with a different surname in the world, and his military exploits were very famous in the imperial city.
When the first emperor died, he was not yet thirty years old, but he had already held great power.
When the emperor first succeeded to the throne, the two also had some disputes.
At that time, King Cheng had a high prestige in the court, and the emperor was just a prince who did nothing.
There were many people in the court who supported the king and wanted him to ascend to the throne.
However, there are also many people who oppose it, after all, he is not the only person in the Bai family, and it is not right to ascend to the throne.
The emperor is the son of the first emperor, so there are many courtiers who support him, and the royal family also supports the emperor.
After all, once King Cheng ascended the throne, they would no longer be royal clansmen, and they knew the pros and cons better than anyone else.
For their own interests, they tried their best to plan for the emperor.
Although they also don't want the emperor to succeed to the throne, but the lesser of two evils, they naturally want to let the Bai family take charge of the country......
King Cheng finally gave up, and the first emperor treated him well, and even made him a king with a different surname, and gave him all the military power.
If the first emperor had not died, he would have always assisted the other party.
Therefore, King Cheng gave up the throne to the emperor and left the imperial city alone.
Xiao Hanyin felt that this person came back at this time, I am afraid it was not so simple.
"Madam, the master asked us to tell you that you should be careful recently, and you must not return to the Imperial City until he leaves the prison!" Xiao Hanyin's subordinates said.
"Since King Cheng has given up the throne and is now back in the imperial city, I'm afraid that there are other things, will Ah Yin be too careful?" Liu Qingshao frowned.
"The master is now in the prison, and there are some things that he is inconvenient to do, but he suspects that King Cheng has other plans when he comes back!" His subordinates didn't know about those things, and he acted completely according to Xiao Hanyin's orders.
"I'll be careful!" Liu Qingshao felt that he would not suspect a person who had been away from the imperial city for no reason.
Xiao Hanyin would say this, he must have found out something.
So, Liu Qingshao immediately contacted the stewards in other places and asked them to secretly inquire about the news of King Cheng.
Liu Qingshao has business all over the place, and it is not small, and the news is also very well-informed, but compared to Xiao Hanyin, it is a little worse.
When she had just ordered someone to investigate, Xiao Hanyin had already learned about the route for King Cheng to return to the imperial city.
Xiao Han secretly asked his subordinates to investigate what King Cheng had done recently.
He felt that King Cheng would suddenly come back at this juncture, maybe he had other plans.
The current situation in the Imperial City is not very peaceful, and as soon as he returns to the Imperial City, he is afraid that the situation will change again.
Xiao Hanyin didn't want anyone to change everything in front of him......
Liu Qingshao had the same thoughts as him, and he also wanted to know the purpose of King Cheng's return.
The husband and wife were investigating the news of King Cheng at the same time, but they temporarily hid it from each other.
Although King Cheng has not been in the imperial city for many years, his power is still there, and they are afraid that they are in danger to each other.
According to the news from the shopkeepers of shops in various places, Liu Qingshao speculated that this king Cheng came back with ulterior motives.
However, she still doesn't know who King Cheng is coming for, but she heard that the other party received a letter on the way back.
Although Liu Qingshao didn't know who wrote the letter to King Cheng, it was certainly not simple.
Two days later, Liu Qingshao also suddenly received an unsigned letter.
Although she couldn't guess the other party's purpose, everything written in the letter made Liu Qingshao very angry.
At the same time, a trace of uneasiness swelled in Liu Qingshao's heart.
She felt that something big would happen in the imperial city soon, but she couldn't stop anything now.
Liu Qingshao is just a businessman, she doesn't have much power in her hands, and now Xiao Hanyin is still in prison, and no one can discuss countermeasures with her, so she is a little flustered.
"Come on, go pack your things now!" Liu Qingshao thought about it and planned to go back first.
Although Xiao Hanyin has always let her stay here, she hasn't seen him for more than a month, and she is very worried about him.
However, in order not to destroy Xiao Hanyin's plan, Liu Qingshao specially ordered someone to send him a letter before going back.
Liu Qingshao was worried that if she rushed back, everything he had carefully designed would change.
Therefore, although she packed her luggage, she did not leave directly before receiving news from Xiao Hanyin.
The house is easy to defend and perched on the edge of a cliff making for an excellent place of refuge.
However, neither her nor Xiao Hanyin's identities allow them to stay here all the time.
Now that he has been locked up by the emperor for so long, Liu Qingshao really wants to see him immediately.
Even though she knew that Xiao Han was hidden in the prison and had not been wronged, she still couldn't help but worry......
In fact, Xiao Hanyin also misses Liu Qingshao very much, and since they got married, the two have hardly been separated.
Now that they haven't seen each other for more than a month, how could Xiao Hanyin not miss her. OK
So, after he heard that Liu Qingshao was coming back, he immediately agreed.
Xiao Hanyin originally planned to deal with this matter within a month, and then go to pick up Liu Qingshao back.
However, the sudden appearance of King Cheng disrupted Xiao Hanyin's plan.
Now, even if Liu Qingshao continues to stay in that house, it doesn't make much sense.
Therefore, Xiao Hanyin immediately wrote back to Liu Qingshao and asked her to come back.
After Liu Qingshao arrived in the imperial city, she didn't even return home, and went directly to the prison to visit Xiao Hanyin.
"Ah Yin!" When Liu Qingshao saw Xiao Hanyin in prison, she couldn't help but redden.
"Don't be sad, I'm doing well in it, but the food is unpalatable!" Xiao Hanyin put his hand on her cheek.
I haven't seen him for more than a month, and Liu Qingshao found that he had lost a lot of weight.
"Ah Yin, doesn't the emperor plan to let you out?" Liu Qingshao couldn't wait to make up for him.
Since they were together, Xiao Hanyin's mouth had been raised by her, and ordinary meals couldn't enter his mouth at all.
Although he was not subjected to any harassment in the prison, he was certainly not used to it.
After all, Xiao Hanyin is a very clean person, and his broken mats used to be cleaned every day, and others were not allowed to touch them.
Now, he stays in prison every day, and it is not even convenient to wash, and it is not easy for Xiao Hanyin to endure until this time.
"Unless I personally go to the emperor to apologize and admit my mistakes, he will not let me out!" Xiao Hanyin looked at his wife, who he had been thinking about day and night, and a trace of darkness quickly crossed his eyes.
"By the way, I found out some news about becoming a king!" Liu Qingshao knew that he couldn't easily admit his mistake to the emperor.
However, since she has returned, Xiao Hanyin's food in the future will be made and delivered by her own hands, so that he can eat a meal that suits his taste in prison.
"What did you find?" Xiao Hanyin didn't expect that Liu Qingshao also sent someone to investigate King Cheng.
"He received a letter on the way, but I haven't found out who wrote it to him!" Liu Qingshao told all the news she had found.
At the same time, Xiao Hanyin also told her his guess.
"I think the emperor's various actions since these days may have something to do with becoming the king!" Although Xiao Hanyin did not find specific evidence, this person had competed with the emperor for the throne.
Although he later gave up, in the eyes of the emperor, King Cheng was still his opponent.
What's more, Xiao Hanyin didn't feel that King Cheng gave up the throne back then, but he was grateful for the kindness of the first emperor and couldn't bear to be disappointed in his decision.
If he was really so grateful to the first emperor, then from the beginning, he would not have fought with the emperor.
After all, the country was laid by the Bai family.
The first emperor asked him to be a king with a different surname, which was already considered to be a favor to him, but he had thoughts that he shouldn't have because of his power, how to be worthy of the trust and reliance of the first emperor.
Xiao Hanyin is different from others, even if this person hides it well, he still sees the other party's ambitions.
However, now that the emperor has been on the throne for more than 20 years, why did the other party choose to come back at this time?
"The emperor sent someone to keep an eye on you, how could it have anything to do with King Cheng?" Liu Qingshao couldn't figure it out.
Xiao Hanyin has nothing to do with the other party, whether the emperor wants to protect them or guard against them, he should not use this method.
"I'm afraid that only the emperor and the king will know about all this!" They are all outsiders and cannot spy on the emperor's thoughts.
"I'll bring you food tomorrow!" Although Liu Qingshao was worried about this matter, she knew that the emperor would not really cure Xiao Hanyin's crime.
She only needs to wait for some time with peace of mind, and Xiao Hanyin will naturally be able to come out and reunite with her.
Now, Xiao Hanyin plans to continue to stay in the prison, it must have been carefully considered, and Liu Qingshao doesn't want to force him because of his own selfishness.
What Xiao Hanyin needs is the truth, but she can't do anything now......
After Liu Qingshao left, Xiao Hanyin immediately ordered his subordinates to secretly pay attention to King Cheng's every move.
The reason why he has been refusing to go out is because he is worried that after King Cheng returns, it will be unfavorable to him.
Even if the two of them don't intersect, but the emperor's behavior has been too abnormal recently, just in case, Xiao Hanyin feels that it is better to stay in the prison.
If King Cheng really had the intention to kill him, after learning that he had angered the emperor and had been locked up in the prison, he might not be able to move for the time being......
However, after his subordinates found out some news, Xiao Hanyin changed his mind.
If King Cheng couldn't attack him, would he send someone to assassinate Liu Qingshao?
He can protect himself, but Liu Qingshao doesn't know martial arts, and he may encounter danger at any time.
So, Xiao Hanyin planned to find a way to leave the prison, and only when he was free could he find out some things......
At this time, the emperor suddenly came to the prison.
"See Your Majesty!" Xiao Hanyin immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted him.
"When are you going to get out of here?" The emperor looked at him with a serious face and said.
"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is already arranging for someone to investigate King Cheng!" Originally, he had planned to find a way to get out in a few days.
However, now that the emperor has come over in person, it is obvious that he should know what he has been doing in secret recently.
In that case, he didn't have to think so much.
The emperor sent Ouchi guards to follow him and Liu Qingshao, if he was really not suspicious of him, then even if he didn't do anything, he would let himself leave the prison immediately......
