In the palace of Zhao State, the emperor dressed in the Ming Dynasty dress sat on the dragon throne, and the ministers below talked about what had happened recently. The emperor just listened quietly and did not participate.

When the people below didn't say so fiercely, the emperor opened his mouth: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have something to say." ”

Suddenly, the court was quiet, and everyone looked at the emperor in unison, only to see that the emperor sighed, seemed a little uncomfortable, rubbed his temples, and continued: "When I wanted to come to the autumn hunt, I suddenly had an urgent matter to leave, and Zhong Aiqing was also very curious about what happened, right?" ”

Some ministers who knew what was going on suddenly lifted their hearts, the emperor said this, could it really be that Qi Guo took Chen Zhi away? So now the emperor has the idea of attacking the Qi State?

Although these people knew about this matter, none of them dared to express their opinions, so they could only bow their heads and want to hear what the emperor had to say next.

"Actually, at that time, something happened in the palace, do you remember the proton from Qi Guo?" The emperor lived up to expectations and continued.

Some people who didn't know what was going on thought about it, and also remembered that there was indeed a proton from Qi Guo a few years ago, so they spoke: "Back to the emperor, the minister remembers, the prince seems to be called Chen Zhi, right?" ”

When someone thought about it, some people thought one after another: "Oh, Prince Chen, is it the one who has recently been passed on to the eldest lady of the Fuguo family?" ”

Someone deliberately mentioned the matter of Chen Zhi and Lan Yao, and Fu Guogong, who was provoked, looked at the man with disgust, and the man didn't continue to say anything.

"Yes, something happened to him, and Chen Zhi is gone!" Hearing that someone remembered, the emperor continued to tell the matter.

"What? How could it be gone? Your Majesty, although Chen Zhi said that he was a proton, he was also the prince of Qi State anyway, and now he is missing in my Zhao Kingdom, what if it is known by Qi State? Someone worried.

"Your Majesty, have you ever found out how Prince Chen disappeared?" Someone asked.

The emperor rubbed his temples again, and he knew that if this matter was said, it would definitely be a big turmoil, but this kind of thing could not be left unsaid.

"I originally suspected that someone from Qi Guo secretly picked up Prince Chen, but I sent someone to Qi Country to check, and Prince Chen did not go back to Qi Kingdom." The emperor told the result.

The minister who knew about this matter was relieved, it was good if it was not taken by Qi Guo, as long as it was not picked up by Qi Guo, the emperor would have no reason to declare war on Qi Guo, the emperor is the Ninety-Five Supreme, so naturally he will not understand the bitterness of war.

In every war, hundreds or thousands of people died, and tens of thousands of people died, so many lives, and no one hoped that it would be lost because of the emperor's selfishness.

"Your Majesty, what should I do now? Prince Chen is gone, and when the time comes, Qi Guo will ask us for people, but what should we do? Someone asked.

"That's what I want to ask you." The emperor seems to be very unhappy, how can there be such a rice bucket? If you tell the story yourself, you let them relieve their worries, and that person is good, but he asks himself what to do.

Someone saw the emperor's unhappy expression, thought about it, took a step forward, and said: "Your Majesty, since Prince Chen is gone, there are still a few months before Prince Chen's return, then we will try our best to find it during this time, if we still can't find Prince Chen at that time, we will insist that it was someone from Qi Guo who picked up Prince Chen, and then we can also say that they are unruly and let them give some compensation." ”

"Your Majesty, no, it's not clear what is going on in this matter, if we insist that it was Qi Guo who took Prince Chen at that time, but Qi Guo does not have such a person, but how can it be good." Someone objected.

The man before opened his mouth again: "My lord is wrong, that is, there is no Prince Chen, we can also say that Qi Guo has hidden people, and Qi Guo is not as strong as my Zhao Guobing, so naturally I can only suffer this loss." ”

When the emperor heard this, he also thought it was good, so he said: "What Aiqing said is good, it is indeed the fault of Qi Guo." ”

When everyone heard this, they all understood what the emperor meant, so no one said anything, and continued to discuss the previous matter, and then dispersed.

In the study room of the Fuguo Mansion, the Fuguo Gong sat in front of the desk, and several young men stood opposite the Fu Guogong.

These people are Lan Yao's cousins, cousins or something, and they are the best among them, Fu Guogong pondered for a while and then spoke: "Do you think, can you go home?" ”

Lan Zixu spoke: "Grandfather, Zixu thinks that since Prince Chen is no longer in Zhao Kingdom, his cousin can naturally come back." ”

The others joined in.

Fu Guogong thought about it and still felt that he should come back after a while, otherwise, as soon as Lan Yao left, Chen Zhi would be gone, and as soon as Chen Zhi left, Lan Yao would come back, it was inevitable that the emperor would not suspect anything, although the Fuguo Mansion did not do anything, but the companion of the king is like a tiger, how could the Duke of Fu Guo not know this kind of truth.

"It's better to come back after a while, it's going to be the New Year in a while, and then it's a reason to come back. lest anyone suspect my Auxiliary Mansion. Fu Guogong said.

The juniors below are all transparent, and when Fu Guogong said this, everyone understood what it meant, so they didn't say anything, anyway, all of this had to be according to Fu Guogong's meaning.

Half a month later, in Yangzhou Manor, a girl took a letter and hurriedly ran to Lan Yao's room, the weather is already very cold, and Lan Yao does not dare to continue to stay by the lake.

"Miss, miss, letter from home." The girl looked very happy and handed the letter to Lan Yao: "Miss, I heard that the master asked us to go back!" Isn't it? ”

Lan Yao opened the letter unhurriedly, shook the paper at will, and then looked at it slowly, the letter said that the rumors in the capital have been spread by no one anymore, so that Lan Yao can rest assured, and said that the New Year is approaching, and he is not willing to let Lan Yao celebrate the New Year alone, so let Lan Yao return home one day.

Lan Yao was not as happy as the little girl, she couldn't help but be a little curious, obviously the rumored thing was deliberately done by someone, how could she leave for a month or two and then disappear?

Could it be that there is something going on in Beijing that he doesn't know? Or has the person behind the rumors been caught?

"Pack up your things, and we'll go back early tomorrow morning." Lan Yao raised a smiling face, looked at the little girl and said. No matter what happened, Lan Yao felt that he had to go back first.

As soon as the little girl heard this, she knew that she could really go back, so she went to pack her things in a hurry.

Lan Yao watched the little girl leave, her face gradually lost her smile, and she lay on the table with her hands on her face, pondering.
