Chapter 338: Farewell to the old man and return to his hometown

In the imperial study, the emperor's brows were wrinkled together, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping.

The prince and Fu Jiulan, who were standing below, didn't speak, the three of them just stood quietly, but the atmosphere was subtle.

"What about the old three?"

After a while, the emperor opened his mouth to ask.

"Back to my father's words, the third brother has already let Fu Jiulan lead people to arrest him, and he is now being detained in the heavenly prison."

The crown prince said cautiously while examining the emperor's expression.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

When the emperor heard this, he coughed again.

The prince looked worried, and hurriedly went up to help the emperor pat his back.

"Father, you're not in good health, don't be angry."

"That evil obstacle actually colluded with a foreign country to usurp the throne, how could I not be angry!"

It seems that the emperor is also angry, and when he speaks, even the beard under his lips shakes and shakes.

"Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and it hasn't caused a catastrophe yet." The prince hurriedly spoke.

Pushing away the prince's hand, the emperor walked to the chair and sat down.

"How much do the people in the General's Mansion know about this?"

Although the words were not said explicitly, Fu Jiulan saw the killing intent that went straight to the bottom of his eyes through the emperor's eyes.

"The people in the General's Mansion don't know."

At this time, I have been silent! Fu Jiulan suddenly spoke.

"Unaware? The two of them are about to get married, and the old general still has military power in his hands. Isn't the third child's move just to win them over?"

The emperor was very suspicious, how could he be relieved because of Fu Jiulan's words.

"The old general is upright, and he has always done his best for the court, and he is a loyal minister. This in-law is also ordered by you. Whether the general's government wants it or not, they don't have a choice."

Almost expressionless, Fu Jiulan said word by word.

was scolded by a subordinate for the first time, and the emperor's face was very ugly, and even the prince was silent.

"Looks like the horse has other opinions?"

Squinted his eyes and glanced at Fu Jiulan, only this one glance, hiding a murderous motive.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are worried that if you dispose of the General's Mansion, those loyal ministers in the court will be chilled. The world has just settled down, and if the people's hearts are distracted at this time, I am afraid that the foreign countries will be even more eyeing each other."

Fu Jiulan's words were not unreasonable, so the emperor was rarely silent.

After a while, he suddenly sighed.

"The old general's life is clear, and it is time to return to his hometown."

Secretly relieved in his heart, Fu Jiulan knew that Leng Wan had no worries about her life for the time being.

The decree was issued quickly, and the General's Mansion received it the next day.

While still lying on the foot, Leng Wan heard about the front yard.

"The emperor's father-in-law Li Dequan came and held a holy decree, saying that it was intended from above to let the old general return to his hometown."

Xiao Tao, who had been arranged by the general's wife to serve Leng Wan in the front yard, saw it and hurriedly ran back to tell Leng Wan.

"Or am I dragging everyone down......

Holding the futon, Leng Wan's eyes were red.

"Miss, don't think about it......

Xiao Tao is a straightforward and fast-talking, but now seeing Leng Wan crying, she is holding the handkerchief in a little panic, not knowing how to comfort her.

simply accepted the order, and the general's wife rushed back immediately.

Bumped into Leng Wan sitting on the edge of the bed with a look of kin, and she couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

"Madam, it's all because Xiao Taozui is stupid, I just heard about Gonggong Li's decree in the front yard, so I came to tell Miss Leng, I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect ......."

Xiao Tao quickly knelt down and said with a red face.

The masters of the General's Mansion are all kind-hearted and rarely punish their subordinates, so most of the people who can stay here are loyal.

"You go down first." ap.

Sure enough, the general's wife just sank her face and did not punish her.

"Yes."

Blessed with a blessed body, Xiao Tao hurriedly retreated.

"I'm sorry, it's all me...... It was I who caused the general's ......."

Leng Wan is a smart person, knowing that as soon as the third prince fell, the emperor couldn't wait for the old general to return to his hometown, thinking that it should be related to her marriage to the third prince.

"I don't blame you, Wan Niang."

Raising her hand, the general's wife smoothed her hair and sighed helplessly.

"The saint's suspicion is getting worse and worse, and his health is getting worse and worse. There have been rumors outside that the crown prince is going to be abolished, and now all the princes are waiting for an opportunity. Presumably, the capital is about to change. Now let's say goodbye to our old age and return to our hometown, stay away from these fights, and live a peaceful life for a few years."

The general's wife is an extremely transparent woman, when the country is in danger, she can persuade the old general to take command of the battle, save the peace of the party, and earn a reputation for herself.

Now that the merit is high, it has aroused suspicion from the boss.

If they stay in this capital, I'm afraid that the future will not be very good.

This is an opportunity to leave Kyoto and perhaps live out your old age in peace.

"Yes...... Can be ......"

Leng Wan choked up several times, feeling very guilty in her heart.

"Silly boy, we are all a family, what do you owe or not, we have a share."

The general's wife hugged Leng Wan and said affectionately.

At first, some people in the DPRK and China heard that the old general was going to return to his hometown, and they came to visit him one after another.

said that he was visiting, but he just wanted to inquire about the news and see what the emperor thought.

But the old general's mouth is too strict, no matter who asks, he can't ask anything.

After another two days, the old general handed over the military power, and the general's mansion was crowded, and fewer and fewer people came to visit.

"Wan Niang, look, being above the court, how can there be any sincerity at all, these people are all snobs."

The general's wife laughed with Leng Wan while packing her luggage.

Although it was just a joke, Leng Wan still heard a little bleak.

After coming to the General's Mansion, she listened to the General's wife talk about many past events.

She used to be the daughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, but later her family fell into the middle of the road and had to marry an illiterate military general.

At that time, the military general was only a lieutenant, and he was not up or down, and he did not have a high position of power, so he would be able to maintain his family.

The general's wife was far-sighted, and in troubled times, let the old general go out to make contributions.

And herself, right behind the old general.

He went to fight in all directions, and she was behind him to help him take care of the wounded soldiers.

In the long run, the old general has people available around him, and he is invincible on the battlefield.

Later, in the peaceful and prosperous era, the old couple held the military power and were named the general of Zhenbei, and the scenery was unparalleled for a while.

The general's wife has always understood the truth of the big wind.

Therefore, although their son is in the court, he does not have a position and a minister, just to reassure the Son of Heaven.

Obviously, she still underestimated the suspicion of the Son of Heaven.

Time flies, and she and the old general are no longer young.

Finding a clean place to live may be the best choice.

"I'll go with you."

Help the general's wife tidy up the beads and put them in the box, and said coldly.
