Chapter 53: The Royal Woman of the Rong Kingdom
"In the opinion of the prince, what is the reason for General Chen's sudden return to the court?" Chen Shangshu stroked his beard and looked at Yang Hanlun with a thoughtful expression.
"With the General Chen I know, he won't come back easily, unless there is a summons and secret decree from the imperial brother!" Yang Shaolun said with certainty.
"As soon as General Chen returned, he was immediately ambushed, and the people who ambushed him must be strong in martial arts, and with General Chen's martial arts, there are few people in the world who can defeat him. But according to Shangguan Imperial Doctor, General Chen's injuries were some ordinary knife wounds, and except for the impact on his head, it was impossible to tell that he was injured by a master. "Chen Shangshu is an authentic analysis.
"Yes, I've also seen his wounds, like a move made by someone who doesn't know martial arts, easily knocking him down, if it's just a knife wound on his body, it won't make him lose his ability to resist. Yang Hanlun tilted his head sideways, his brows furrowed. That's a big doubt!
"When the lower officials were investigating, they found a very interesting thing. Chen Shangshu looked at Yang Hanlun and suddenly said this.
"Oh, what's the matter!" Yang Hanlun immediately sat down!
"In the low woods outside the city, General Chen was seen supporting a wounded old woman, followed by a young girl. Together, they came out of the woods and went to the city!"
"This can be understood as General Chen's courage to save the injured old woman, and the girl behind may be the old woman's relatives!" Yang Hanlun said.
"The problem is, this old woman is from the Rong Kingdom! Her attire is the attire of the Rong Imperial Family!" Chen Shangshu said in a surprising voice! Yang Hanlun was taken aback, although the Rong Kingdom has reached a friendly agreement with our dynasty, the exchanges between the royal families are not extraordinary. The agreement stated that if a member of the royal family of Rong State wanted to come to the Daxing Dynasty, he must notify the foreign envoy, who would report to the imperial court, and the imperial court would receive the foreign guests with etiquette. But recently, the imperial court has not received an excerpt from the royal family of Rongguo. So who is this old woman, and why did she go directly to Beijing without a foreign envoy?
"Who said this? How did Lord Chen know about this?" Yang Hanlun looked at Chen Shangshu seriously, this matter is very important, and it is necessary to determine whether the source of the news is reliable.
"Don't worry, the source is absolutely reliable, it was seen by the housekeeper in the Xiaguan Mansion with his own eyes, and he also greeted General Chen, but General Chen ignored him and helped the old woman walk forward without saying a word. When the housekeeper came back, he didn't tell the lower officials, and the housekeeper didn't tell the lower officials until the emperor ordered the lower officials to investigate the matter!"
"What did Steward Chen see with his own eyes?" Yang Hanlun knew that this Steward Chen was a Jianghu man with a martial arts background, who was rescued by Chen Shangshu a few years ago, and was willing to be a subordinate of Chen's Mansion in order to repay his kindness. Yang Hanlun has seen it many times, and he is an iron-clad man! If it is said that he has seen it with his own eyes, then there will be no mistake.
"It's true!" Chen Shangshu nodded and said.
"Then did you report this matter to the emperor?"
"The emperor is injured, so I haven't had time to report yet!" Chen Shangshu said thoughtfully.
"Well, I'll enter the palace now!" Yang Hanlun said with a solemn expression.
"Then there will be Lord Lao!"
"Farewell!" Yang Hanlun turned around to leave, and Chen Shangshu asked behind him: "I heard that the emperor suppressed the bandits this time, is it for the sixth princess?"
Yang Hanlun was obviously stunned for a moment, who spread these things? He turned around quietly, "As far as I know, the emperor's personal expedition is because the bandits in Heavenly Wolf Mountain are too rampant, and the emperor saw that he had repeatedly sent troops to return in vain, so he was in a hurry, so he ordered Xiao Yuan to order troops to go out to encircle and suppress him! Where did Lord Chen hear this?"
"Xia Guan just listened to hearsay and asked casually, don't take it to heart, don't take it to heart!" Chen Shangshu smiled, and the panic that flashed in his eyes was captured by Yang Hanlun.
"It's okay to say these words in front of me, but if someone goes up to heaven to listen to it, then it will be a big crime, Lord Chen still speaks cautiously!" Yang Hanlun tried to control the unhappiness in his heart, although he didn't know where this emotion came from.
"Xia Guan remembers, if the prince wants to see Birou, then the prince will invite you first!" Chen Shangshu said with a smile on his face.
"Forget it, I'll come to see her another day, now I have to enter the palace immediately! Farewell!" I don't know why, he suddenly doesn't want to see Birou! Is it because Chen Shangshu just mentioned her, is the imperial brother really for her, regardless of the danger, put aside the identity of the Ninety-Five Emperor to exterminate the little thief? Even if it is, then what? She is already his next cousin, and he is not qualified to ask!
"Congratulations to the prince!" Chen Shangshu's face crossed a trace of depth, and his eyes were full of calculations!
