Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 997
Seeing that Lu Changan was about to make a serious move, Zijin hurriedly stepped forward to block the attacks of the guards for Tuoba Feier.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, please calm down, after all, so many people are watching!"

Lu Changan said in a deep voice: "Tuoba Fei'er may have been ordered by Xiyue to assassinate me. This is no longer a family matter. I will capture Tuoba Fei'er and send her to prison for interrogation."

"King Suping, you know what kind of temper she is, why bother." At this time, Liu Yunxiang came over and persuaded her.

Lu Changan's face turned cold when he saw Liu Yunxiang, "The Queen Mother is worried, but..."

"I like that lotus lantern very much. Can you buy another one for us to put by the lake?"

Hearing this, Lu Changan was slightly startled. Although he doubted Liu Yunxiang's motives, he really couldn't refuse.

"it is good."

While Lu Changan turned around to buy lanterns, Liu Yunxiang winked at Tuoba Fei'er and said loudly: "The princess may be tired, so she should go back to the palace to rest early."

Tuoba Feier shouted: "I won't leave! I have to put out lanterns!"

"Zijin, Feng Zheng, you two send the princess back to her home!"

"Yes!"

Zijin and Feng Zheng lifted Tuoba Fei'er up, left the crowd, and headed towards Suping Prince's Mansion.There were guards following them, so they deliberately walked around the alley a few times to get rid of the guards, and then hurriedly came to the city gate.

Because there is a performance in the city tonight, the city gate is wide open, and people inside and outside the city are coming and going. It is easy to sneak in without letting the guards notice.

"This is the money that our girl has prepared for you, princess."

Outside the city, Zhang Qi handed a bag of gold and silver to Tuoba Fei'er, and at the same time handed over the reins of a fast horse.

"There is a Tianyun Inn a hundred miles away. You must get there before dawn. Disguise yourself and follow the caravan to the west. It will keep you safe on the way."

Tuoba Feier nodded, "It turns out that Sister Liu has already made arrangements."

"Also, our people will meet His Highness at the pass from Xiyue to Da Rong. Please be sure to bring these words with you."

"I know, don't worry."

After seeing off Tuoba Fei'er, Zhang Qi lit blue fireworks.

Liu Yunxiang stood by the lake and saw the blue fireworks blooming. She breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the lotus lantern in her hand, she squatted down with a smile and put it in the lake.

"When we put out lanterns on the Qiqiao Festival, everyone will make a wish to grow old together with their loved ones. I am the same. I hope he returns home safely. We still have a lifetime."

Lu Changan took a deep breath, "Given King Liang's violent temper, he might have been killed."

"I believe he is still alive, and I believe he will come back."

Lu Changan looked at the lantern again, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "Do you think it went out?"

Liu Yunxiang stood up and said, "It's true."

"So the wish you made is impossible to come true."

"That's probably because you, King Suping, bought this lantern. It doesn't matter what God's will is. I believe that man can conquer God."

After saying that, Liu Yunxiang headed towards Caiyun Tower.

While the song and dance performance was going on, an old woman suddenly ran forward, knelt down in the direction of Caiyun Tower, and shouted loudly, "The Queen Mother! The son of a common woman is missing! Please have mercy on the queen mother and help the common woman find her son!" "

The old woman interrupted the song and dance performance, so all the ministers and family members in Caiyun Tower came over to look.

The guards rushed forward to take the old woman away. The old woman resisted and shouted, and the people began to talk about it.

Liu Yunxiang walked to the terrace and asked what happened below.

A guard came forward and reported that the old woman had lost her son and asked the Queen Mother to find her son.

"Presumptuous! How can you, a shrew like you, be allowed to scream when the Queen Mother is here? Drag her out!" Xue Hesong ran down from Caiyun Tower and shouted at the guards. "Queen Mother, please help the women! There is really nothing they can do!"

This old woman is Mrs. Li. She was ordered by Liu Yunxiang to come to Caiyun Tower tonight to complain.She really had no choice but to believe that the Queen Mother could seek justice for her family.

"Drag him out and give him thirty beatings with a cane!" Xue Hesong shouted again.

"Let go of that old woman!" Liu Yunxiang stood on the terrace and shouted angrily, "Master Xue is so majestic. I haven't spoken yet, so you make the decision first!"

Xue Hesong is naturally not afraid of the Queen Mother, but he still has to give her face.

"I don't dare." He replied lightly.

Liu Yunxiang snorted coldly, looked at the old woman again, and asked her how long her son had been missing.

"one Year."

"One year, it's been a long time, have you ever reported to the official?"

"The government couldn't find it, so they gave up."

The officials and their family members didn't know the old woman, they just said that her son was lost and the government had found him, so what was the use of asking the Queen Mother.There are too many such things. If everyone comes to beg the Queen Mother, will the Queen Mother be able to handle it?

They didn't recognize the old woman. Even Xue Hesong and his wife didn't remember the old woman. They had the same attitude as everyone else.

Liu Yunxiang rubbed his forehead, pretended to be impatient, and said, "Is the Governor of Jingzhao Mansion here?"

Xu Yuancheng, the newly appointed governor of Jingzhao Mansion, stepped forward and said, "I'm here."

"This case has been handed over to your Jingzhao Mansion. Help the old lady find her son."

"Yes."

Xu Yuancheng agreed, then ordered the officials to come up and take the old woman with him and leave first.

This is just a small interlude, no one cares, everyone continues to enjoy singing, dancing and listening to gossip.

In front of the Jingzhao Mansion, Xu Yuancheng asked the official to light up the old woman's face with a lantern. After careful identification, he finally remembered who the old woman was.

"Old Mrs. Li, our government has tried its best and has been searching for three months, but there is no clue at all. Why did you report it to the Queen Mother? You are really ignorant." Li Yuancheng frowned.

Mrs. Li started crying, "Whether my son is dead or alive, you have to give me a word, right?"

"Can't find it! I don't know if I'm dead or alive!"

"My son! My miserable son!"

Mrs. Li simply sat down on the ground and started crying.

Li Yuancheng rubbed his forehead. Since the Queen Mother gave the order, Jingzhao Mansion had to take action.It's just that others don't know, but he knows what's going on here. If this person can't be found, it will be a murder case if he is found!
"Sir, let's just pretend, go back and report to the superiors, and just say we can't find it." An official suggested.

Xu Yuancheng sighed, "What if the Queen Mother takes the blame?"

"This……"

"So we have to find someone to take the blame."

"What did your lord say?"

Xu Yuancheng said with a wisp of beard, "Go and call Li Chong here. He was in charge of the Li family's case at the beginning. He was demoted due to poor handling of the case and became the head catcher. At that time, he could not find Li Xiang's body. A year later, He will definitely still not be found. If the Queen Mother blames him, just push him out to take the blame."

Li Chong wandered around in his yard for a long time, and finally waited until an official from Jingzhao Mansion came to call him and asked him to find a son for Mrs. Li.

After the official left, Li Zhong clicked his tongue, "The Queen Mother is so amazing!"
