Qiao's family received an edict from the emperor late at night, and they were still in a daze, so they were "escorted" out of the palace by Yu Linwei.

went all the way back to Qiao's mansion, and saw that the entire mansion was surrounded by Yulin Guards.

It's like being hooped into an iron bucket, and not even a fly or mosquito can fly out.

General Chen sat in the carriage and looked out through the window.

When he saw those soldiers in cold armor, one by one with weapons in hand, patrolling back and forth vigilantly, he couldn't help but snort coldly.

"It's so majestic, it's a recognition of us all as prisoners."

Qiao Zhongtian's face was also ugly.

But he also knew very well that the emperor must have put the Qiao family down gently for the time being after weighing the pros and cons.

Otherwise, just because Qiao Jingyang was suspected of murdering the prince, it would be impossible for Qiao's family to be sent home so easily.

Not to mention that Qiao Jingchen's military power will be withdrawn, even General Chen Lao will inevitably be affected.

And Qiao Zhongtian's position as the prime minister, I'm afraid he will not be able to sit steadily.

But now, the Qiao family was only confined in the palace for less than a day, and they were released home.

Although the siege of Qiao's Mansion has not been lifted, it has exceeded the best expectations of Qiao's family.

"Dad, let's not talk about this matter for the time being. Your Majesty's vigilance against us has not been completely lifted, but I am afraid that we will say a lot of mistakes. ”

His words silenced Old General Chen, and then nodded.

"It's still Zhongtian who thinks about it thoroughly, it's the old man who is quick to talk about it for a while, and he can't take it into account too much."

While everyone was talking, the door of Qiao's Mansion suddenly opened, and Qiao Jingyue hurriedly came out of it.

"Grandfather, father, mother, you have finally come back safely."

He said excitedly: "Qingyun had a fetal gas in the afternoon and has already given birth." It's a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses. ”

"Qingyun is born?"

Chen was taken aback, and quickly got out of the carriage and hurried to the mansion.

"How is she now? Can the body still stand it? Is it a pair of dragon and phoenix twins? Is the baby okay? Is Wen Po still there? Where are the people now? ”

A bunch of questions came out in a row, and as she walked away, the voice faded away.

Qiao Zhongtian and the others were even more surprised and frightened, and hurriedly followed behind, also anxious to see Wu Qingyun.

The mother is now resting in her own yard, and there are many maidservants who come and go in and out of the place to serve.

A pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses slept peacefully in the cradle, placed next to her bed, and were taken care of by a special nurse.

Hearing that the Qiao family had returned, Wu Qingyun still wanted to struggle to get up, but was seen by the Chen family who entered the door and hurriedly stopped.

"Qingyun, don't dare to move! Lie down! ”

On the way over, she heard Qiao Jingyue talk about Wu Qingyun's dystocia.

The whole process was also thrilling and terrifying.

"Mother, it's great that you can come back safely. Jing Yue and I are at home, and we are also praying for everyone's blessings, and we hope that you can all return safely. ”

Wu Qingyun also greeted the Chen family with palpitations.

Soon, everyone's attention shifted to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.

Although the two babies are premature babies, they look in good condition and complexion, and their wrinkled skin can't hide their delicate and small facial features.

They fell asleep quietly in swaddling clothes, and couldn't help but suck their fingers.

's well-behaved and cute appearance grabbed everyone's attention tightly, and even the voice of the voice was a little lighter.

"Huh? Why don't you see Shu'er? Where's my baby? ”

Old General Chen suddenly turned his head and looked around.

Qiao Zhongtian was stunned for a moment, and sweat also appeared on his forehead.

Who would have thought that their family left the palace safely, but they didn't find that there was no one missing from the team.

Qiao Jingchen couldn't help but pat his forehead, and said guiltily: "Ancestor, someone from the palace passed the word before. said that it was temporarily to let the Nine Emperor Sons take care of Shu'er on their behalf.

Because I was in a hurry to get out of the palace at that time, I forgot to explain this matter to you clearly. ”

Chen let out a long sigh.

"But I was scared to death, I thought I left Shu'er somewhere......"

In fact, she also had the impression that Qiao Wanshu was following the Nine Emperor Princes.

But suddenly I didn't think about it, and I was really frightened.

"In this way, the emperor still has additional plans. Whether it is to leave Shu'er in the palace as a hostage, or ...... For the Nine Emperors. ”

Qiao Zhongtian voiced everyone's worries, and everyone fell silent for a while.

They worked so hard to keep Qiao Wanshu away from the royal family, but now it seems that everything is still unavoidable.

This time, Qiao Wanshu stayed alone in the palace, as a family member, how could she not worry.

"Mother, why don't I go back and tell my father, let him start the book tomorrow morning, and beg Your Majesty to put my little sister back?"

Lin Yue'er proposed.

"No."

General Chen was the first to oppose it.

"In this matter, don't get Lin Yushi involved. As a counselor, he could not easily go to the book. What's more, the matter involves the suspicion of the Qiao family, and it is easy to fall into the hands of others.

Since His Majesty intends to take Shu'er as a hostage, he must not embarrass a little baby who is only a few years old. After all, he still wanted to pave the way for the future of the Nine Emperor Princes. ”

After listening to his analysis, Qiao's family could only temporarily put aside the worries in their hearts, looking forward to finding an opportunity to let Qiao Wanshu go home from the palace as soon as possible.

At this time in the palace, the emperor was not in his own bedroom, but in a cold palace that had been deserted.

He walked slowly in the cold palace for a long time, and suddenly sneezed loudly.

"Your Majesty, it is even deeper, you must be careful not to catch a cold."

The chief chamberlain hurriedly came over with a hand warmer and wanted to hand it to the emperor.

"No, I'm fine."

The emperor waved his hand, looking at the dilapidated and desolate appearance around him, his eyes were full of nostalgia and regret for the past.

"Ji Niang, have you seen it, our son, now that he has grown up, he knows that he plans for himself."

The emperor muttered to himself as he walked.

It was once full of countless good memories, and he would always come here to relax and rest for a while after experiencing the deceit in the court and the sword-like competition for favor in the harem.

In the palace not far away, there is still a portrait of the woman who haunts him.

But for some reason, the emperor now has a feeling of homesickness, and he doesn't seem to dare to look at the woman in the painting.

"Niangniang, I have chosen a marriage for our son. It is the youngest daughter of Qiao Zhongtian, the prime minister of the dynasty, I don't know if you are satisfied with this marriage.

With the help of the Qiao family, our son will be able to gain a firm foothold in the court. Future...... For this position of mine, he is not without a fight.

Ji Niang, you may feel the painstaking work I have done this? ”

He whispered for a long time as if he was talking, and then he said to the chief attendant: "Go, take the eight characters of the youngest daughter of the Qiao family to Qin Tianjian and merge with Lao Jiu."

I want to see if this marriage is a match made in heaven. ”
