Chapter 55: Premeditation

"Saint, the holy decree has arrived, Lord Wang, Concubine Liu came out to receive the decree." A voice came from outside the door.

Several people in the room were taken aback, how could there be a holy decree at this time, and besides, Nan Wuyang and Liu Qianwen had never received any warning news.

Although they were puzzled, Nan Wuyang and Liu Qianwen had to go out immediately to receive the order, Du Zhen and Wu Ding went to the window, jumped and left.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: The disaster in Licheng has been alleviated, I remember the hard work of King An and Concubine Liu, and I am specially allowed to return to the imperial city in advance and set off immediately.

After receiving the holy decree, Nan Wuyang wanted to inquire from the mouth of the father-in-law, but found that even the father-in-law of the decree would suddenly send an order for the two to return to the imperial city for some reason.

"His Royal Highness King An, in recent days, the emperor has always been silent alone, even the princes are rarely summoned by the emperor, the emperor is from the king of Chu, and learned that Concubine Liu also came with him, and King Jin Yu and King Chu passed the qi."

This also explains why the holy decree came, but there was no warning from the palace.

Seeing the cautious and cautious appearance of the father-in-law, the two of them also had some clear understanding in their hearts, it seemed that something must have happened in the imperial city.

Liu Qianwen was most surprised, why did the emperor care so much about the life and death of a side concubine like her? Why did you suddenly send her back together?

What she didn't dare to admit was that when she came to Licheng this time, she also wanted to leave on her own after the things here were under control.

It's just that the emperor sent a holy decree, and he couldn't leave if he wanted to.

The decree stated that the two of them should leave immediately, and they had no reason to stay any longer.

Although there are still many unsolved doubts on the Licheng side, the emperor is the emperor anyway, and no matter how unruly Nan Wuyang is, he can't disobey the emperor's orders, so the two of them have to go back to the post station to pack up their things first.

As for Liu Zhanxiao's side, Nan Wuyang left some people to investigate secretly, and before the matter was clarified, Liu Zhanxiao was still very suspicious.

After returning to the post station, the more Liu Qianwen thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, obviously they had already investigated something suspicious, and it would take a little more time, and now there was such a holy decree.

Was it intentional or coincidental?

"Lord, you say, could this holy decree be something that King Jin Yu said in front of the emperor, didn't you say before that the flood in Licheng may be related to King Jin Yu? If we can investigate King Jin Yu, then King Jin Yu can also investigate us. ”

Nan Wuyang nodded calmly, "There is no news from the king's people in the imperial city, and it is useless to speculate now, so it is better to help the king pack his luggage." ”

Liu Qianwen glanced at him when she heard this, "This is the prince's personal belongings, the prince has to do it himself, and Qianwen won't help." ”

"What this king has packed up is all Qianwen's things, so won't Qianwu's things be cleaned up by this king?" Nan Wuyang looked at her with a smile.

Liu Qianwen didn't care about her, she didn't have many things, so she didn't need Nan Wuyang to be busy for so long.

"Lord Wang, do you say that this Liu Zhanxiao is really related to the Licheng flood? But why did he give us the treasure map, and said that he would pay for his sins with death? ”

Liu Qianwen now thinks of Liu Zhanxiao's appearance of kneeling on the ground with tears in her eyes, which is not like a fake.

But Nan Wuyang smiled coldly at this time, "Then isn't he dead now." ”

Hearing his words, Liu Qianwen was a little speechless, this Nan Wuyang is really poisonous, just talking about apologizing with death, could it be that he really wants Liu Zhanxiao to die?

Liu Qianwen took advantage of the time when Nan Wuyang was packing her luggage to flip through the treasure map, and she couldn't understand it at all.

"Anything else to bring?" It was the first time for Nan Wuyang to pack his own luggage, although it was a little messy, but overall he was still very satisfied.

"Yes." Liu Qianwen unceremoniously threw away the treasure map that she didn't understand, anyway, she took it from Liu Zhanxiao, and it was hers.

"The prince remembers to put it in my baggage."

Regarding Liu Qianwen's "scoundrel", Nan Wuyang said that he didn't care.

Qianwen, be careful, this is the treasure map of City Lord Liu's beloved. Nan Wuyang said half-jokingly as he put the treasure map in his luggage.

"I can't understand it anyway, it's better than a silver ticket."

Liu Qianwen pursed her lips, what about the treasure map? If you don't understand it, there is no difference between having it and not having it.

In the afternoon of the same day, the two set off under the send-off of a group of officials of all sizes in Licheng.

Originally, Liu Qianwen thought that this road would definitely not be peaceful, but she didn't expect that the return journey was much calmer and easier than she imagined.

The weather became very good, it was good to stop and rest on the way, and it only took three days for the two of them to reach the imperial city.

Not to mention Nan Wuyang, even Liu Qianwen felt strange.

"Lord Wang, don't you think this road is too peaceful." Liu Qianwen's brows furrowed slightly.

For some reason, she always had a feeling of uneasiness, and the closer she got to the Imperial City, the more uneasiness became more and more serious.

It stands to reason that if everything was controlled by King Jin Yu, he shouldn't let them go so easily.

But now, not only did they not encounter anything along the way, but they also returned to the imperial city peacefully and peacefully. Listen to the school bag

Then there may be only one theory, and that is that something is likely to happen in the Imperial City.

Coupled with the fact that the emperor was in such a hurry to summon them back to the imperial city without giving a reason, all this made Liu Qianwen feel that something unfavorable must have happened in the imperial city.

"Don't worry, everything is here." Nan Wuyang was still as calm as usual, "If there is anything, you will know when you arrive." ”

"Hmm." Liu Qianwen nodded slowly, indeed, it is useless to think more now.

After all, this is a place where Nan Wuyang has been operating for many years, and it is impossible for any major changes to occur in the time he is away.

Thinking of this, Liu Qianyu's heart gradually relaxed a lot, her legs gently clamped the horse's belly, and together with Nan Wuyang, she sped up and went to the imperial city.

Originally, no matter what, Liu Qianwen thought that she was fully prepared to roll herself, but when she arrived at the city gate, she was still shocked.

"W-what's going on?" Liu Qianwen pointed to the city gate in surprise.

There were more than twice as many guards at the gates as there were on a regular basis.

They checked the passers-by one by one, which caused the people to be blocked at the door, making it difficult to get through.

Nan Wuyang also felt very strange, and helped Liu Qianyu to turn over from the horse.

In order to figure out the situation, Liu Qianwen simply walked a few steps forward and randomly asked a woman dressed as a peasant to ask, "Auntie, why is this city gate blocked like this?" ”

"Hey, madam, you don't know, this is somehow since two days ago, the city gate guards began to check the pedestrians one by one, making the whole city gate chaotic, and those who want to get out can't get out, and those who want to go in can't get in. If you want to visit the Imperial City, I advise you to forget it, it's a mess, it's not peaceful. ”

When Liu Qianwen heard this, the doubts in her heart were even worse, "What happened then, why do you have to check them one by one?" ”

"I heard that something was stolen from the palace, and this is a search." A man in line next to him interjected.

Liu Qianwen wanted to ask what was stolen, but after thinking about it, how could these people know what the palace had lost.

Liu Qianwen also knew that she couldn't find out anything, so in desperation, she had to withdraw and shook her head gently towards Nan Wuyang.

At this time, among the defenders of the city, a few people came over and saluted Liu Qianwen and Nan Wuyang, "Greetings to the prince, Concubine Liu!" ”

"What kind of thief is it that wants to be caught with such fanfare?" Liu Qianwen asked as if inadvertently.

"Back to Concubine Liu, the treasures have been lost in the palace, and the boss has ordered me to wait for martial law in the whole city, and all people who enter and leave must be routinely checked."

Liu Qianwen sneered, "For the sake of a thief, the people of the whole city are uneasy, and the result is half the effort." ”

The guards also nodded helplessly when they heard this, it is true that in the past two days, not only these ordinary people, but even the guards at the city gate have been complaining, "What the princess said is that the ministers and others are just following orders." ”

"So what kind of treasure did you lose?" Liu Qianwen asked casually.

But the guard shook his head directly, and said, "The ministers don't know what treasure they have lost, but they only listen to the orders from above, this treasure is priceless, and you can see its extraordinary features at a glance." ”

Hehe, the guards guarding the city don't know what the treasure is, so what's the point of such a fanfare inspection?

"I think I've found a lot of treasures in the past two days." Liu Qianwen looked at the soldiers guarding the city mockingly.

The soldiers defending the city looked at Liu Qianwen with embarrassment, "This ......"

Indeed, many "treasures" have been found in the past two days, and because I don't know what kind of treasures they are, they have all been taken into custody if they seem to have a little value.

Naturally, this also made the people in and out of the imperial city panic.

"Okay, you go get busy first, and this king and Concubine Liu can go in by themselves." Nan Wuyang interjected at the right time, which made the guard breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, if Liu Qianwen asked again, even he couldn't help but want to complain.

After the guard left, Liu Qianwen whispered to Nan Wuyang: "Lord Wang, I don't think this matter is so simple, I lost the treasure that I don't know what kind of treasure it is, this sounds ridiculous, unless ......"

"Unless, someone doesn't want people to know what treasure they've lost." Nan Wuyang took over the words and said coldly, thinking in his heart who could have such great energy in this imperial city and make the entire imperial city under martial law.

But thinking about it, in this imperial city, if you want to be under martial law all over the city, I am afraid you must have obtained the permission of the emperor.

"That's it, let's go to the Imperial City first." Nan Wuyang had already roughly guessed who it was in his heart.

As soon as the two of them stepped into the city gate, a large unidentified object fell in front of them with a snap.

When I looked closely, I saw a piece of flying down from nowhere.

I don't know what kind of bird's poop is so big.

"What a bad luck!" Liu Qianwen said unhappily.

At this moment, a child rushed over and pulled the burden on Liu Qianwen's body hard, and the burden fell down.
