"Disaster in the face!" Taifu stroked his beard and sighed deeply.

"Master Taifu! We have seen the county lord, she is kind and gentle, and she will not cause trouble to Xiling. Worry-free walked up to Taifu and said. Yunshang and Ni Er Xiaohui also nodded vigorously.

"Maybe she doesn't want to do it herself, but her fate will force her to do it! Once she enters the palace, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles, for the sake of our Daxiling, this official cannot save the kindness of a woman! Taifu's tone was firm, and there was no room for negotiation.

"Master Taifu!" Worry-free, he hugged Taifu's arm.

"Just let the official do it, you don't have to do it yourself, this matter has nothing to do with you, you all rest for a while, and the official will go to the palace to see the emperor first." Taifu patted his hands, and walked away.

After Sima Taifu entered the palace, he heard that the emperor was reading a book in the Ganlu Palace, so he came to the Ganlu Hall tremblingly with the dragon head crutches given by the emperor.

"Lord Sima has arrived!" The eunuch reported and walked over and helped him into the temple.

"The old minister sees the emperor." Sima Taifu bowed to worship and was supported by Lu Hongjing. "Taifu, you are not in good health, why did you enter the palace again."

Sima Taifu glanced at the eunuchs in the hall, and the eunuchs understood, hurriedly bowed their heads and bent down to retreat, and closed the door smoothly.

"Your Majesty! The old minister has news of His Royal Highness the Prince! Sima Taifu waited for everyone to go out, and grabbed Liu Hongjing's arm excitedly.

Liuhong Jinghu's eyes widened: "Fan'er has news?" Is he alive or dead? ”

"His Royal Highness is on his way back to Beijing, the emperor will quickly send the Imperial Forest Army to welcome His Royal Highness back to the palace." After Mrs. Sima finished speaking, he was already in tears.

"Great! Fan'er is not dead! That's great! Ruoxi! It must be you in the spirit of heaven to bless mortals! Fan'er is fine, I am finally at ease! Liu Hongjing suddenly slapped the dragon case, and the tiger's eyes were already covered with bloodshots.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has one more thing to report to the emperor." Sima Taifu told Liu Hongjing about Dongling's poisonous control of Luo Lianyi, but concealed the truth about the cinnabar red mole between her eyebrows.

After hearing this, Liu Hongjing laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Qi Yu also underestimates the emperor too much!" Just one woman, can mess with my Daxiling country? Hahaha - Kill! Don't say that the first beauty of Tanglin, even if the fairy goes down to earth, she can't think of moving my heart! ”

"Yes!" Sima Taifu led the decree.

"Spread my will, prepare the car quickly, I will personally go out of the palace to welcome the return of the prince."

"Yes." The old lady came out of the Ganlu Hall and passed on the emperor's will. At this moment, Duanmu Chun, the secretary of the military department, hurriedly came. "Master Taifu." When he saw the old lady, he stopped and saluted.

"Lord Shangshu." The old lady returned the salute with her fists, and did not say much to him, and walked away step by step with a cane.

"See the Emperor." After the eunuch reported, Duanmu Chun entered the hall and knelt down to see him.

"Flat." Liu Hongjing held the book in his hand and said lightly. There has been no war lately, so I don't think he has anything important to do.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Great Prince is coming into the city." Duanmu Chun said.

"Well, you can arrange for someone to take him back to the palace." Liu Hongjing didn't raise his head.

"Yes." Duanmu Chun got up from the ground and retreated.

He walked around the winding verandah and was stopped by his father-in-law by a rockery.

"Father-in-law Tong, the lower officials are looking for you." Duanmu Chun looked at no one on the left and right, and whispered, "Hurry up and report to Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Great Prince is about to enter Beijing." After he finished speaking, he left, knowing that the important officials of the court and the eunuchs in the palace wanted to avoid suspicion, and it was inconvenient to show too close contact.

Father-in-law Tong got the news and trotted all the way to Qingning Palace.

"Mother's Day!" The others were still outside the temple, so they couldn't wait to report the good news.

Duanmu Yunji was taking a nap on the soft couch, listening to him report the good news, she sat up and asked, "Has Huo'er entered Beijing?" ”

"Immediately enter Beijing, the old slave just came from the palace gate, saw the brocade guard preparing a horse for the emperor, and later met Lord Shangshu outside the Ganlu Palace, the lord told me that His Royal Highness is about to enter Beijing, the old slave speculated, the emperor is going to welcome His Royal Highness!"

"Really?! You said that the emperor was going to welcome the fire in person? That's great! That's great! Duanmu Yunji's voice trembled with excitement.

"It's true! The mother is overjoyed! Father-in-law Tong smiled flatteringly.

"Is there any news from that one?" Duanmu Yunji's face suddenly sank.

"The people we sent went down to the cliff to look for it, and saw that under the cliff was a pool of bottomless lake, and most of the prince and the lord of Donglin County sank to the bottom of the lake for the fish to eat, Niangniang, please rest assured, if you fall down from such a high place, unless there is the help of the gods, no one can come back alive." Tong Gong is fair.

"Well, that's good." A smile finally appeared on Duanmu Yunji's face. "Come on, quickly change the clothes of the palace, the palace will go to the palace gate in person to greet His Royal Highness the eldest prince." She instructed the palace maid.

After a while, she had changed into a golden embroidered nine phoenix dress, her hair bun was set off by the imperial phoenix hairpin, decorated with broken beads and tassels, and the soft gold veil was pulled on her arms. She admired herself in the mirror, her appearance was still the same, but there was no one to appreciate it, and she couldn't help but feel a little gloomy under her eyebrows.

"Mother, please!" Father-in-law Tong stood next to her with a sharp voice.

"Has the emperor set off?" She asked, turning around.

"It's time to go." Tong Gonggong returned.

"Well, let's go." She sighed and stretched out her hand for Gonggong Tong to support.

When the group passed the Xianglong Bridge in the front hall, they met the emperor and his entourage hurriedly coming from the verandah, and Duanmu Yunji hurriedly stood and looked happy.

"The concubines see the emperor." She was blessed to visit the shrine.

"No courtesy." Liu Hongjing didn't even stop, and with a wave of his hand, he strode past her.

"Your Majesty! The concubine went with you to welcome Huo'er back to the palace. Duanmu Yunji hurriedly turned around, ignoring her identity and demeanor, and chased after Liu Hongjing and said loudly.

Liu Hongjing stopped, turned around and said lightly: "I'm not going to pick up Huo'er, I'm going to pick up the prince back to the palace." ”

"Prince?!" Duanmu Yunji's eyes were dark, and she almost fainted.

"Hmph, disappointed?" Liu Hongjing smiled coldly, and strode away surrounded by the guards.

Duanmu Yunji watched him walk away and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Mother." Father-in-law Tong trembled and shouted beside him.

"Smack!" Duanmu Yunji slapped Gonggong Tong in the face, and five blood marks appeared on his bloodless old face.

There was silence in the verandah, and the eunuchs and palace maids around Duanmu Yunji all held their breath and lowered their eyebrows.

"Let's go! The main palace still has to welcome Huo'er back to the palace! Duanmu Yunji yelled.

"Mother, please." Father-in-law Tong's face was swollen, but he didn't dare to show half of his grievances, he bowed over, held Duanmu Yunji's arm, and the group continued to walk towards the palace gate.

When they arrived at the palace gate, the emperor's mighty procession had already left the palace, and the other team led by Duanmu Chun waited for the emperor to go far before the whole team was ready to leave. He only lightly ordered two hundred people, and the emperor was in front, where did he dare to show off and make a big show.
