Lady forced to seek prince

Xiao Min's trusted old palace servant once served his biological mother, Concubine Ying. After Concubine Ying passed away, all the palace servants and chamberlains who served him were executed. Only a few survived and did menial work in the palace.

After Xiao Min was taken to the Imperial Concubine's palace, he once met this palace man in the imperial garden. Xiao Min recognized him at a glance. Although he was young, he knew not to look strange.The old palace people were equally cautious, and it was not until Concubine De's death that they managed to come to Xiao Min's side.

Even though Xiao Min has ascended the throne, his every move is under the eyes of others. The whole palace is like a sieve, no place is safe, so even if Xiao Min knows that the old palace people are here for him, he can't put him down. The palace attendants were transferred to her side, so she could only continue to do rough work in the palace.

The Queen Mother and the Grand Master had Xiao Min in the palm of their hands. The old palace man was anxious but could only hide in the dark to look for opportunities. Finally, he asked her to wait until the Queen Mother and the Grand Master started fighting, and then took advantage of the chaos to find the men left by Concubine Ying and break through the palace. The road inside and outside can at least deliver news to Xiao Min at critical moments.

The old palace man whispered: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it will take some time for our news to reach the northwest. We can wait slowly."

Xiao Min asked the old palace man to go to the northwest with news and invite Xiao Yu to meet in Beijing. This was his most urgent matter at the moment.

Xiao Min nodded: "I heard the palace people say privately that my brother will not come to Beijing." It was after hearing this that he had nightmares again at night.

He was afraid that Xiao Yu would not come.

Zhan Jing has grown up and has seen so many things. Xiao Min's mind has already surpassed his age, but the current situation is not something he can handle.

All he could do was pretend to know nothing and obey the Grand Master's arrangements. Only his brother and aunt could change the situation.

The old palace lady was silent for a moment. When she wanted to say something more, she heard footsteps coming from outside. It was the chambermaid who came to look for Xiao Min.

Xiao Min said: "Mommy, think of another way."

The old palace man looked at Xiao Min's back, his eyes immediately turned red.She didn't want the emperor to have too high expectations, because even she felt that King Yu might not come to the capital. Even if the court granted him the title of vassal this time and explicitly ordered King Yu to come to the capital to express his gratitude, it was not safe to leave the northwest after all. If the Grand Master wanted to do something , King Yu will be at a disadvantage.

Even if the emperor tried his best to send someone the news, it might be considered a trap to trick him into coming to Beijing.

The old palace lady stretched out her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes. She heard that someone from the Zhao family, whom King Yu was going to marry, had come to Beijing. She also asked people to keep an eye on them. If the Zhao family could come to Beijing, maybe King Yu could follow.

……

Taozhou, Fengxia Village, Zhaojia.

Xiao Yu put away the letter from Beijing and looked up at Huaiguang.

Huaiguang said: "Those were the personnel assigned by Concubine Ying during her lifetime. Our people followed him from the capital and did not find any contact between him and the Grand Master's people."

Xiao Yu nodded.

Mr. Song was sitting in the chair at the bottom. He stretched out his hand and stroked his beard: "Is it from the emperor?" Xiao Yu didn't mean to hide it from everyone, so Mr. Song asked.

Xiao Yu responded: "The emperor wants me to enter the capital."

Song Guangyan pursed his lips: "That's it?"

Xiao Yu nodded.

Mr. Song said: "That should be the emperor's intention. The emperor is young and cannot say anything that touches people's hearts."

The imperial court named Xiao Yu the vassal king, and the sixteen northwest states were designated as vassal territories. The decree arrived in the northwest half a month ago, and Xiao Yu was also expressly ordered to come to the capital to express his gratitude, but Xiao Yu never left for the capital.

Even Zhao Xueli knew that he couldn't go to the capital. Who knew if the Grand Master and the others would do anything to express their gratitude to Xiao Yu?
Zhao Luoyang asked: "Is there any other news?" A few days ago, she learned from Xiao Yu that Zhao Xuewen and his family had arrived in the capital, and this time Zhao Xuewen passed the imperial examination in autumn.She guessed that there would definitely be an answer to this matter.

Mrs. Yang was also sitting on the chair, surrounded by Zhao Xueli, Zhao Xuejing and Zhao Xueyi.

"Yes," Old Mrs. Yang said, "How about the heartless boss?"

Xiao Yu hesitated and did not speak.

Old Mrs. Yang said: "Just tell me, that thing doesn't even care about his own mother, and it's not surprising that he does any unscrupulous thing."

Zhao Xueli also looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Just tell me, Prince Yu!"

There are some things that cannot be hidden, and Xiao Yu is not prepared to hide them from the Zhao family.

Xiao Yu said: "The imperial court granted a house, and now Zhao Xuewen's family lives in that house. Many people in Beijing send gifts. Zhao Xuewen accepts them all in the name of the Zhao family, and holds banquets at home every day. , banquet for dignitaries."

Zhao Xuewen also knew that opportunities were hard to come by. At first, he only received gifts at home, but later he brought things to visit officials, and through connections, he sent Zhao Yuanchang to a government school.

"This bastard," Mrs. Yang stood up angrily and put her hands on her hips, "I will go to the capital to file a complaint now and let the government office deal with him."

Upon seeing this, Mr. Song said hurriedly: "Listen to what the prince has said, you are so old, what can you do in the capital? You will make yourself sick before you meet me."

Mrs. Yang stared at Mr. Song, and just as she was about to speak, her arm was held by her granddaughter: "Mistress, what you said is right, this matter is not that simple."

Zhao Xueli and Zhao Xuejing both frowned. Zhao Xueyi was originally thinking about improving those firearms, but when Zhao Xuewen gradually came back to his senses, he couldn't help but murmured: "What is he going to do?"

Xiao Yu said: "These should be secretly arranged by the Grand Master and the others. The Grand Master knows that we will not let Zhao Xuewen do this and force us to go to Beijing to deal with this matter."

Zhao Luoyang glanced at Xiao Yu. He became more and more proficient in calling him various names. I wonder how he had the nerve to say "we"?Maybe he is too thick-skinned now and his expression is too natural, so he failed to attract everyone's attention.

Ge Shi whispered: "Then we don't care?"

Xiao Yu said: "I'm afraid those people will lead Zhao Xuewen to do something big. Once a big case is committed, it will inevitably affect the reputation of the Zhao family, and it will have to be solved."

The Zhao family's bad reputation will inevitably lead to various speculations about Prince Yu's palace in the court and among the public. This is the method of the Grand Master. Zhao Luoyang thought for a moment and said: "This is the Grand Master forcing Prince Yu to enter the capital."

"If this is the case, then we can't go to the capital," Zhao Xueli said. "The Grand Master must have prepared methods to deal with King Yu."

Song Guangyan said: "It is also wrong not to return to the capital to express gratitude. People will criticize you for being self-respecting and contemptuous of your Majesty. When the resentment between the government and the opposition becomes deep, you can attack the vassal at any time."

To put it simply, Taishi's move makes people unable to advance or retreat.

The news sent by the little emperor was even more unacceptable.

Mr. Song stroked his beard: "We have to deal with it carefully."

Zhao Luoyang looked at Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu happened to be looking at her as well. At the moment, she was the only one who knew that Xiao Yu could not stay in the vassal territory forever.
