Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 665: The truth behind the death of the county king?

Changes always happen faster than planned.

After tidying up secretly for most of the night and not lying down for a while until the sky turned white, Nanny failed to return to the Princess Mansion to "stay" with the eldest princess as planned.

The arrangement of going to the temple to offer incense and get the fortune had to be postponed - early in the morning, before the masters had even gotten up, Youfu was surrounded.

The people who surrounded You Mansion said they were under orders from their superiors. They wore armor, long swords, and tokens made of black iron around their waists. This was the dress of the imperial guards in the palace. The so-called "superiors" were His Majesty.The porter immediately went to invite the eldest princess, and then the old lady.When the old lady heard this, her eyes suddenly turned black, and the little blood on her face instantly faded, and she pulled her grandma and stumbled out.

I almost fell down several times along the way, but fortunately my grandma and the concierge were there to support me.

When I got to the door, I saw it was true.

The You family was sealed.

The leader of the Royal Forest Army was quite polite, and he raised his hand to the old lady, "I'm sorry. Old lady... my subordinates are also following orders. Please stay in the house and don't go anywhere during this period. We will arrange fresh food." People come to your door every day. If you have other needs, just let us know and we will try our best to meet them. But you can't even step out of this mansion."

It seems that You Feng did not commit any treason outside.Mrs. You's hanging breath slowly relaxed halfway.

It's just that... the eldest princess stood behind the old lady, looking at the conduct of the commander who subconsciously took a step back before answering, her eyes gradually darkened, but her heart slowly sank, and she couldn't find the bottom - it seemed that it was true Yes.

Last night, the officer who was so frightened that he forgot all etiquette and only wanted to report to Mr. You as soon as possible said in the courtyard that Xu Siniang had verified that the King of Jiangdu County died of the epidemic.

blight!

Throughout the ages, whenever these two words are involved, which time has it not resulted in countless casualties and starvation?The most important thing is that in front of these two words, it doesn't matter whether you are a prince, general or a commoner... The eldest princess turned pale, looked at the nanny beside her, and asked in a low voice, "Where is Lingxi? But? Got up?"

Grandma shook her head, looking equally nervous.

Over there, the old lady was still inquiring about what was going on. The commander of the Royal Forest Army kept silent. He only said that he didn't know and that he was under orders. After that, he started to drive people back.

The old lady turned around and saw her pale-faced daughter-in-law. After thinking for a long time, she didn't say anything or ask anything. She sighed, hunched over and staggered to her own courtyard with the support of her grandma.

She thought about asking her daughter-in-law, or asking her daughter-in-law to inquire, but she hesitated and still did not speak.This daughter-in-law has a noble status and a proud temperament. She can't find anything wrong with her on weekdays. However, due to various rules and the arrogance in her bones, they are not affectionate.There is even some mutual understanding and tacit agreement not to expose the differences.

This mouth... is not easy to open.

It's better to let Lingxi inquire.She thought about it and asked the nanny next to her in a low voice, "Is that girl Lingxi still asleep?"

"It must be so. The concierge only notified the eldest princess and the old lady. The princess didn't get the news. She is still asleep...Old slave, go and call her?"

Mrs. You thought for a while and shook her head, "No need. You just need to go to her courtyard and tell the servants to come to my place when the princess wakes up."

"Yes……"……

The morning sun is rising, and the thick clouds in the sky have drifted away. The light sunshine in the late autumn morning shines on the streets, alleys, landscapes and houses, giving a sense of calmness and tranquility.

The streets, which were washed away spotlessly by the heavy rain, looked gleaming.

The shop that sells breakfast on the street opened early, and the shopkeeper greeted us with a bright smile. Most of them were familiar. Occasionally, we met a few strangers, and we could chat with each other. The days were like this. The atmosphere seemed equally steamy.

Gentle wind and warm sunshine, it should be a good day today.

The fireworks of life are everywhere in every alley and alleyway, and naturally there are majestic palace walls, red walls and glazed tiles, and magnificent palaces that it cannot reach.

Half an hour ago, the officials who had been dozing off in the morning with their heads down as usual, waiting to go to the teahouse to have a morning meal and listen to a tune, unexpectedly saw the Emperor coming.While the prince was rushing to greet him, the officials who were kneeling and saluting secretly raised their eyes to look at His Majesty the Emperor, whom they had not seen for a long time. The Emperor looked good, at least, the blood on his cheeks was very good.

Although, Manager Zhang was supporting him all the way, and he would occasionally cough a few times.

But overall, he didn't seem to be seriously ill, and it really didn't look like he had been lying in bed all day to recuperate.

When the rightful master comes, the prince who oversees the country will no longer be able to sit on top.However, His Highness the Crown Prince seemed a little worried about the Emperor, and did not go down from the beginning to the end. He only stood behind the Emperor like General Manager Zhang, one on each side, accompanying him.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair and coughed violently again, making the ground red and his ears red.The prince patted his back thoughtfully, but the emperor only waved his hand and ordered in a hoarse voice, "Prince, please go down and stand. You don't have to wait on me..."

Someone who was standing closer and had sharp eyes saw from a distance the veil in the emperor's hand, which seemed to have a flash of bright red, but I didn't know whether it was the embroidery on the veil or... the official lowered his head suddenly, his eyes Observe the nose and the heart, without even daring to raise an eyelid - in the past, everyone could go to visit His Majesty, but recently some officials went there, but they didn't see him. They only heard the imperial doctor say, "I'm sick and it's not appropriate to see guests." , but how ill is it?The imperial doctor added, "I'm slightly ill, slightly ill."

If you are slightly ill, you cannot go to court or see ministers?
Are you just a little sick and can only stay in bed all day?

It's just that everyone just keeps these slanders in their hearts, or gossips behind their backs, and they definitely don't dare to say it openly.

This time Your Majesty went out to court, which means... okay?
While I was thinking wildly, I heard the emperor coughing and saying in a hoarse voice, "Everyone...do you have a plan to report?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lord Ning took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Ning Aiqing, what's the matter?"

Singing and answering, he sang and answered fluently, as if he had rehearsed it in advance.

Master Ning did not wait for anyone to guess, and Lang Lang spoke in a straight tone, "Your Majesty, I have the audacity to sue His Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace, raise private soldiers, set up secret cells, and carry out lynchings."

What?The ministers were frightened and looked at each other... Raising private soldiers?Set up a secret prison?Lynching?These three are all accurate steps on His Majesty’s minefield!
