Xiao Lu and Xiao Xuan glanced at each other, and Xiao Xuan took the post from Lu Lin's hand.

Xiao Xuan opened the post and glanced at it hastily.

"The post is under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the second brother did go." Xiao Xuan put down the post a little dejectedly, turned his head and said to Xiao Lu.

"The second brother is in his prime, and I have never heard of any diseases in his body in the past." Xiao Lu also said with doubt. "Why did you suddenly go away in a good way?"

"Green Forest, did the people from the palace tell you anything?" Xiao Xuan looked at the green forest and asked.

"Back to the princess, I gave the little chamberlain from the palace a silver ingot, he said that the person sent by Prince Jin's Mansion to report the funeral in the imperial capital only arrived in the imperial capital today, and only said that His Royal Highness Prince Jin died of illness."

"Okay, I see." Xiao Xuan thought for a moment and instructed the green forest. "You go to find Suihong, let her go to Prince Jin's Mansion in the imperial capital for me, and help me ask Prince Jin if she needs help."

"Yes, the slave is going to find Sister Suihong."

"It's been eight years since the second brother left the imperial capital." Even if he had an average relationship with Xiao Jin, he died suddenly like this, and Xiao Lu couldn't help but sigh for a while. "But I didn't expect the second brother to die of illness at such a young age."

"yes, who would have thought of such a thing." Xiao Xuan's fingertips tapped lightly on the table. "In addition to the death of the seventh brother in the early years, the second brother left so suddenly, and it was uncomfortable to think about his father. It's better for my sister and I to take the children in the house into the palace tomorrow to visit my father, and maybe my father will be in a better mood when he sees the children. ”

"My sister has a point." When Xiao Jin was out, he was ordered by Emperor Chu to go to the fiefdom, but anyone in the imperial capital who had a little vision knew that Xiao Jin must have done something wrong. "The father and the emperor value the kinship of their children the most, and the father of the second brother who dies in his prime will inevitably be sad, so it is good to let the children scatter and disperse the energy of the father, so that the father will not be too hurt and hurt his body."

"yes, that's exactly what it is." Xiao Xuan nodded and said.

Soon, the news of Xiao Jin's departure spread throughout the imperial capital, and the Duchess of Liguo was worried about her eldest daughter, so she summoned her daughter-in-law as soon as she received the news and asked her to accompany her to Prince Jin's mansion.

When Duchess Liguo was supported by her daughter-in-law and walked into the gate of Prince Jin's mansion, Xiangdong sent Suihong out.

"The slave has seen the Duchess of Liguo and the Lady of the Prince." Suihong saw the two of them and stepped forward to salute.

"Isn't this the spikered girl in Princess Zhaoyue's mansion?" Suihong originally served Emperor Liu's concubine in the palace for more than ten years, and later went out of the palace to serve by Xiao Xuan's side, and the female dependents of the semi-powerful families of the imperial capital Tai naturally knew her, and the female dependents of the Liguo Mansion were naturally no exception. "What's wrong with Miss Suihong?"

"Our princess heard that His Royal Highness Prince Jin had gone down, so she specially asked the slave maid to come over and see if there was anything that could help the princess." Suihong Fushen said.

"Oh, Princess Zhaoyue is really very caring," Duchess Liguo said movingly. "The old man thanked Princess Zhaoyue for his daughter."

"The slave will definitely convey the gratitude of the Duchess of Liguo to our princess." Suihong said with a smile. "The princess is still waiting for the slave and maid to go back, and the slave and maid will not bother the two of them, and will retreat first."

"Okay, working girl."

Sui Hong straightened her waist, turned around and bowed her head at Xiangdong, and then took the two maids beside her to get into the carriage and leave.

Xiangdong led the Duchess of Liguo and Mrs. Shizi to see the Hu family, and as soon as the three of them entered the courtyard, they saw the Hu family standing in the courtyard in plain clothes.

"Why didn't my mother say anything in advance?" Hu was a little surprised at first when she saw the Duchess of Liguo, but she quickly came back to her senses. "Looks like my mother knows the news."

"You kid, why don't you send someone home to talk about such a big thing." Although it is said that Hu and Xiao Jin have a bad relationship, and the husband and wife have been separated from each other for eight years, Xiao Jin died suddenly, and Hu, who was only a few years old in his early thirties, suddenly became a widow. When Duchess Li Guo thought of this, she couldn't help complaining about her daughter. "If it weren't for the palace to send a palace to report to the mansions, our family would still be in the dark."

"Mother blames me, it's not that I don't want to send someone to tell my mother about this, it's just that I only found out about it today." Immediately afterwards, Hu Shi told the Duchess of Liguo in detail about the fact that he and his eldest son entered the palace to see the driver. "Speaking of which, I really didn't expect to know this news."

"Then the boy is going to fetch his father's coffin?" When the Duchess heard that her grandson was no longer in the mansion at this time, she asked anxiously. "He hasn't gone out of the courtyard gate alone, have you picked all the people to follow him?"

"He's married and not a child anymore, I carefully selected the people who went with him, and even His Majesty gave a team of pennant guards to escort him, my mother can rest assured." Hu Shi held the hand of the Duchess of Li Guo and said.

"Now that His Royal Highness Prince Jin is gone, does Your Majesty have any plans for your future?" There are other things that the Duchess of Li Guo is worried about, she has two daughters under her knees, and the younger daughter has been married for more than ten years and has seen each other several times, but the Hu family and her children can still live in the imperial capital and can often - inherit - happy - knees. Li Guogong is not only reluctant to give up his daughter, but also reluctant to his grandchildren. "Can you still stay in the imperial capital?"

"Mother, don't worry, Your Majesty has already issued an edict today." Hu said happily. "When the coffin comes back, he will be able to inherit the title, and we can continue to live in the imperial capital."

"But what about the women that His Royal Highness Prince Jin left over there?" Duchess Li Guo asked. "I remember that you mentioned it before, it seems that there are still people over there who have given birth to a few children for His Highness, and these children have also stayed over there to live?"

"Your Majesty has always been soft-hearted towards his children and grandchildren, and specially instructed those women who have children to move to the imperial capital with their children to live, and those who have no children will make proper arrangements for them to guard His Highness well over there." Hu comforted the Duchess of Liguo. "I know what my mother is worried about, those people come to the house and there is no threat to our mother and son. The eldest of those children were only the two daughters born to Concubine He, one was six years old and the other was four years old, and His Royal Highness's only concubine was still babbling in swaddling clothes. Now without His Highness's support for them, there is no climate at all. ”

"But in the past eight years, the population of your house is simple, and there is nothing to worry about." Duchess Li Guo still couldn't stop worrying. "It's enough to annoy you that so many people are coming."

"Mother doesn't know me yet, and I'm the most lazy." Hu comforted the Duchess of Liguo. "Concubine Liao is worried about the affairs of the house, mother don't worry about these anymore. As long as those women eat and drink well, and I raise those children well, even if they grow up in the future, they will have rules to follow for their marriage, and there is nothing to worry about. ”

"Hey, I think you've always had a big heart." Duchess Li Guo smiled helplessly. "It seems that I am not worried."

On the second day, Xiao Lu and Xiao Xuan agreed, and the two of them went to the Lingyun Hall to ask to see Emperor Chu.

"The minions have seen the two princesses." Emperor Chu didn't rest last night, he had frequent dreams, and he didn't have much appetite this morning, and the breakfast handed over didn't take two bites of Chu Emperor and let people take it down. At this time, Wu Chuan heard the report from someone outside that the two princesses were coming, and hurriedly ran out to meet them. "The princesses came by chance to persuade Your Majesty. Your Majesty didn't have a good rest last night, and he didn't have an appetite in the morning. ”

Xiao Lu took Sister Rou'er, Xiao Xuan was followed by Brother Min who was holding Sister Su in his arms, and a group of five people were welcomed into Lingyun Hall by Wu Chuan.

Last night, the night was not smooth, and Emperor Chu was very tired, and he was leaning back on the dragon chair to close his eyes and recuperate, when he heard the voice of a child talking.

"Grandfather!"

Emperor Chu opened his eyes, and Sister Rou and Brother Min who was holding Sister Su had already run to his table.

"You're here?" Sure enough, as soon as Emperor Chu saw the child, he immediately had a smile on his face, and even his spirit seemed to be better. "Come and sit down next to my grandfather."

As Emperor Chu spoke, he saw that Brother Min was holding Sister Su with some difficulty, so he hurriedly let Sister Rou and Brother Min sit beside him, and at the same time hugged Sister Su into his arms.

"You too, how old is Brother Min'er, can you let him walk so far with Sister Su alone?" Emperor Chu asked Xiao Xuan angrily. "Aren't you afraid that Brother Min will fall if he loses his strength?"

"Grandfather, don't worry, I often hug my sister." Xiao Xuan smiled and didn't speak, and Brother Min rushed to explain to Emperor Chu. "I'll be careful not to fall my sister."

"Uh-huh, Brother Min is really a good brother." Emperor Chu touched Brother Min'er's head with satisfaction and praised.

"Grandfather, this is my newly embroidered dragon purse for you." Sister Rou took out a bright yellow purse from her arms and sent it to Emperor Chu. "Does my grandfather like it?"

"Yo, Sister Rou'er embroiders so well, my grandfather likes it very much." Emperor Chu took the purse and praised Sister Rou without hesitation, and in a blink of an eye, Xiao Lu fell again. "Sister Rou'er is still young, don't let her embroider these all the time, beware of damaging the child's eyes."

Emperor Chu saw the children for a while, but he didn't care about his two daughters. Wu Chuan brought two stools over and asked Xiao Xuan and Xiao Lu to sit down.

"Sister, take a look." Xiao Lu covered her lips and said to Xiao Xuan with a smile. "In the past, everyone said that my sister was my father's favorite child, but when I looked at it today, my sister completely fell out of favor in front of my father."

"Yes, where can we still get into the eyes of our father today." Xiao Xuan pulled out the handkerchief and pretended to wipe away tears. "I didn't even hear a word of kindness, but I heard a few words. Hey, when I think about it, I really feel a little pitiful. ”

Before Emperor Chu could speak, Brother Min opened his mouth first.

"Mother, don't cry! I like my mother the most! ”
