Li Guogong's desire to speak stopped again, so that the Duchess of Li Guo could not sleep all night. After waiting for Li Guogong to get up early the next morning, she simply got up and ordered the people under her to prepare a carriage to go to the second prince's mansion.

In the second prince's mansion, the Hu family also stayed awake all night. Last night, the second prince Xiao Jin and the Liao family never returned home.

Hu was restless, and when he accompanied his three children to breakfast, he frequently let go.

"Well, what's wrong?" Xiangdong hurriedly came in from outside and called her several times before Hu Shi reacted slowly and looked at Xiangdong. "Is something wrong?"

"The princess, the lady came to the mansion and said that she wanted to see you and the little masters." The lady in Xiangdong's mouth is the Duchess of Liguo, who came early in the morning. "Now the lady has gotten out of the carriage and is coming towards the main courtyard."

When the three children of the Hu family heard the news of their grandmother's coming, they cheered, put down their things and were about to rush out.

"Breakfast is not finished yet, so don't run around." Hu hurriedly asked the nurses and maids who were waiting on the side to stop the three children. "If you don't obey and eat well, I won't let you see your grandmother later."

The three children were stopped by each other, so they had to sit back obediently and continue with breakfast.

While speaking, the Duchess of Liguo, who looked hurried, appeared in the main courtyard.

Hu instructed his subordinates to take care of the children, and he personally greeted them.

"Mother, why didn't you say hello today?" Hu Shi looked at the haggard look on Duchess Liguo and asked. "I'm taking the kids to breakfast, I wonder if my mother has eaten it?"

Duchess Li Guo took Hu's hand, looked at Hu's blue and black eyes, and was about to say something when she heard the children calling her grandmother loudly.

"Forget it, I haven't eaten it yet, so let's eat some with you and the children first." Duchess Li Guo looked at Hu, then at the children, and said.

After breakfast, the children gathered around the Duchess of Liguo and rushed to talk to her.

Duchess Li Guo was thinking about things in her heart, but she couldn't show the sorrow in her heart to these children who didn't know anything, so she could only laugh and laugh with the children.

"Well, although my grandmother came to see you today, your schoolwork still needs to be completed." Hu knew that there must be something for the Duchess of Li Guo to come, and those things must not be said in front of the children, and now the children must be separated to talk about things.

Hu's treatment of the children was by no means unprincipled doting, and the children listened to her words, even if they were reluctant to give up their grandmother, they all got up obediently, and said goodbye to the Duchess of Li Guo and went back to learn calligraphy and study.

The children left, and the Hu family only left a few henchmen who married from the Liguo Mansion in the house, and there were still people outside the door.

"Your father asked me to come and see you today when he came back to the mansion last night, and he also asked me to take the children back to the Liguo Mansion." Seeing this, the Duchess of Li Guo shook Hu's hand and called her maiden name. "Shishi, what the hell is going on? Don't lie to me! ”

"Mother, something is indeed going on in the house, the children are too young, and I am afraid that the chaos in the house will scare them. Originally, I wanted Xiangdong to send a letter back to his father and mother today, but he didn't expect his mother to come today. "Hu was still a little panicked in his heart, but after his hands were held by the Duchess of Liguo, he slowly stabilized his mind." When my mother left, she took her three children back and lived there for a while. ”

As he spoke, tears flowed down his face. Duchess Liguo looked at Hu's tears, and she couldn't bear it.

"Don't worry, I will take care of the children when I bring them back." Duchess Li Guo took out the handkerchief she had with her and gently wiped away Hu's tears. "Your father said nothing different from me, and you don't have anything to say to me?"

"Mother, I actually know the inside story very well." Hu said helplessly. "There is only one thing I can be sure of, the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion is estimated to have an accident, and the second prince may not be implicated."

"What?" The Duchess of Li Guo was shocked when she heard this. "Is the news true?"

"I'm an inner house woman, and I'm skeptical when I get the news. But yesterday the Liao family quietly went back to the Earl of Yongchang's palace, and the second prince also did not return overnight, and his mother was also called by his father today. Hu said with a wry smile. In this way, I am afraid that the thing is true. ”

"How's that going?" Duchess Li Guo was at a loss for a while. "I took the children away, but what if you stay?"

"The children can go, but I, as the mistress of this prince's mansion, can't leave." Hu said. "Your Majesty is kind, I, a woman who only stays in the inner house all day, will not be harsh."

"Yes, Your Majesty is rare and benevolent." Duchess Li Guo nodded again and again. "Fortunately, your father and brother are still capable in the court, and if something really happens, there is also a guarantee."

Hu ordered someone to pack the luggage of the three children, and after lunch, the Duchess of Li Guo took the three children to leave.

Hu Shi couldn't rest assured, and sent them all the way to the gate of the mansion.

The three children were young and innocent, and they were full of thoughts that they would go to the Liguo Mansion to play with their cousins and cousins, and they could be with their grandfather and grandmother who loved them very much every day, and they were very happy.

"Remember to be obedient when you go to your grandfather's mansion, and you can't be naughty." The three children were carried into the carriage, and Hu walked to the carriage and instructed the three children. "This time, my mother and concubine will allow you to stay for a little longer, are you happy?"

"Happy!" The three children didn't know what Hu was thinking, and happily replied in unison.

"Okay, come in and sit honestly in the carriage, don't make any trouble, and let your grandmother be tired and take care of you." Hu asked the children back to the carriage, turned around and said to the Duchess of Liguo, who was still standing beside him. "My mother also remembered that she couldn't let them play all day, and that her daily homework was still done as usual."

"I know, my mother knows." Duchess Li Guo looked at Hu Shi and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed the words. "You're doing well in the house, I'll come back to see you in a few days."

"No, until the matter is settled, my mother will stop coming to see me." Hu shook his head slightly.

"Hey, I see."

Hu Shi stood outside the gate of the mansion, watching the carriage of the Liguo Mansion gradually move away, and she stood still in a daze until she could no longer see the carriage.

"Princess, let's go back." Xiangdong stepped forward to persuade.

"Okay, let's go back." Hu Shi sighed lightly and said.

After marrying Xiao Lu, Xiao Xuan no longer had to worry about her, and began to wander around the palace again.

On this day, when she was walking on the Yongdao Road, she was bored when she bumped into Xiao Yu, the eldest prince, who walked from the other end of the Yongdao.

"Brother!" When Xiao Xuan saw him, he greeted him very affectionately. "How did you get into the palace?"

Xiao Yu, who was originally thinking about things in his heart, saw Xiao Xuan who was running towards him excitedly, and Xiao Yu showed some smiles on his face.

"My father sent someone to summon me to the palace." Seeing Xiao Xuan running to stand in front of him, Xiao Yu skillfully touched her sister's head and said with a smile. "What about you, how did you get here?"

"I'm bored, so I'm coming this way." Xiao Xuan affectionately grabbed Xiao Yu's arm and asked. "Then my brother finished talking to his father today, and he will accompany me and my mother to finish lunch before leaving the palace, okay?"

"My father summoned me to the palace to discuss matters, and I don't know when it will end." Xiao Yu and Xiao Xuan explained. "But if my father's side ends early, I will definitely go to Yihua Palace to sit with you and your mother."

"Uh-huh." Xiao Xuan smiled and nodded.

After Xiao Yu entered the Lingyun Palace, he was just about to salute Emperor Chu.

"That's it, there's no need for those false courtesies." Emperor Chu waved his hand. "Wu Chuan, give the eldest prince a seat."

After waiting for Xiao Yu to sit down in front of him, Emperor Chu looked at his eldest son.

"Do you have any thoughts on the case I talked about in the court yesterday?" Emperor Chu asked.

Is the father talking about the case of stealing official salt led by the prefect of Jiangnan Fucheng? Xiao Yu lowered his head slightly and lowered his eyes and said.

"Do you think he, a prefect, would have the courage to commit such a big thing?" Emperor Chu stared at Xiao Yu and asked. "Fifty percent of the stolen silver in his account flowed into the imperial capital, can he and the Earl of Yongchang swallow such a large sum of stolen money?"

"My father may have made a decision in his heart, but his son is not good at saying anything." Now don't talk about Emperor Chu, as soon as this case came out, anyone suspected the second prince Xiao Jin. "It's easy to find out the case, but it's just a follow-up disposal."

"yes, you're right." Emperor Chu was a little helpless when Xiao Yu said that he was in his heart.

"Seeing that my father and emperor can't make up their minds now, it's even harder for the ministers there to say anything." Xiao Yu thought for a moment before continuing. "It's just that no matter how the final decision of the father and emperor of this case is, it needs to be handled as soon as possible, and there has been a lot of discussion in the government and the opposition, and if this case drags on for a longer time, it will only make people more discussed. However, his father has always been benevolent, so he can dispose of the Jiangnan prefect first, and teach some lessons to the people behind the scenes, so that he will not commit it again. ”

"That's what you really think?" Emperor Chu raised his eyebrows and looked at the eldest son in front of him.

"Father, I don't know if my son says something out of line now, my father will blame him?"

"I summoned you to the palace today, just to hear your thoughts, and to say whatever you want to say bluntly, I won't blame you or anything."

"Then the minister said bluntly." Xiao Yu arched his hand and said. "If my father really wants to severely punish the people behind the scenes, I am afraid that it will already happen in the court yesterday. But my father specially summoned his sons into the palace today, and I am afraid that he still can't make up his mind. ”
