Book with Emperor

Chapter 247
People came from the palace soon, and Manager Wang came with the imperial edict himself.

"Prince Concubine Han's Ling Yiliang, Virtuous Deyi, died of illness today. She was buried under the imperial order of the Crown Princess and given the posthumous title of Yide. In addition, Marquis Zhenwei was well educated, and he was granted the title of first-class Duke. The son of Marquis Zhenwei was smart and brave. He was granted the title of General Huwei, and served as a deputy general in the Yanling Army."

Director Wang's voice fell to the ground, and there was a dead silence in the courtyard.

There was a thin layer of sweat on Mr. Wang's forehead, and under great pressure, he looked at the person whose back was facing the coffin, "Master Hou...you..."

Han Po stood in front of the coffin without saying a word, his whole body was surrounded by evil spirit and sorrow, as if he was about to erupt in the next moment, and no one dared to provoke him.

Manager Wang looked around, and finally looked at Qin Guanyue who was aside.

Qin Guanyue met his gaze and said, "Master Hou is sad, it's inconvenient to accept the order, let it go."

Let... let go, shall we?

Director Wang thought he heard it wrong, and widened his eyes. This is His Majesty's imperial decree, so he just let it go like this?Where to put him?

It is a capital offense to put it anywhere. No matter how trustworthy His Majesty is, Director Wang would not dare to despise the imperial decree so much, so he could only stand there holding the imperial decree.

The guards and eunuchs behind him also stood there motionless, a group of people looked like wooden stakes.

No one dared to move the entire courtyard, including the prince and Jing Zhaoyin, not to mention the servants, all of them dared not show their air.

Qin Guanyue closed her eyes, turned around and took the imperial decree from Manager Wang, and then walked to Han Po's side.

"Master Hou, think about Han Zhengwei."

After finishing speaking, she placed the imperial decree on the edge of the coffin, turned around and left.

"Emperor Master!" The prince looked nervous, for fear that Han Ba ​​would chop him off on the spot after she left.

Qin Guanyue left the Prince's Mansion without even looking at him.

"Congratulations to the emperor."

"Congratulations to the emperor!"

Director Wang wiped his sweat, then leaned close to the prince and said in a low voice, "Prince, Your Majesty has called you into the palace."

The prince's eyes were shocked, and his face became even paler. He quickly looked at Mr. Wang, "My lord, father... did you say why you are looking for this palace?"

Mr. Wang was feeling unlucky in his heart, and he was even more resentful of the "disaster" in front of him, so he naturally had no good face.

"I don't dare to speak nonsense. Your Highness will know when you get down." Director Wang said with a smile on his face, "I have to go back to the palace to report to His Majesty. I can't stay long, so I'm leaving."

Manager Wang turned around and left. The crown prince glanced at Han Pu, not daring to stay, but also not daring to leave, so he could only stand there.

The old steward of the Zhenwei Hou Mansion came in a hurry with the servants of the Hou Mansion, and when he saw his Lord Hou standing in front of the coffin, he couldn't help crying, "My poor lady..."

"Bring the coffin back to the Hou Mansion." Han Po's voice was still hoarse, but he had regained his composure.

He finally looked at the silent daughter in the coffin, curled up his fingers, and turned around slowly.

Wiping away his tears, the old housekeeper sadly walked to the coffin, caught a glimpse of the Daoming Huang imperial decree, and hurriedly said, "Master Hou, this imperial decree——"

Han Po didn't turn his head back, as if he didn't hear, he walked out of the Prince's Mansion step by step.

……

Xiao Sheng received someone from the Prince's Mansion, but Qin Guanyue abandoned the carriage and chose to walk.

Lan Yuan disagreed, "You are not in good health, don't blow the cold wind."

"Let her go." Xiao Sheng grew up with her, and he could tell at a glance that she was not in the right mood. "The last time she was like this, she saw Xiao Qi's body with her own eyes."

Lan Yuan was startled, thought for a while, then said nothing, took over the carriage and went back.

Qin Guanyue was walking in the crowd, and the pedestrians around were hurrying to and fro, all busy making new year's goods, and she just remembered that the new year is almost here.

The weather was cold, and the breath became foggy, and a thick cloak was draped over her body.

"I haven't seen you like this for many years." Xiao Sheng walked beside her, "I heard the imperial decree."

"Promise the hereditary title to the Marquis of Zhenwei, the funeral of the dead Han Lingyi, and the future and life of Han Zhengwei who is still alive. After all, he is the only son. It is not surprising that Ning Zhao will choose him."

Qin Guanyue was really not surprised, because Han Lingyi's death was excluded, and everything was as she expected.

"You traded the secrets in the Shuojin secret box with Empress Xiangwei in exchange for Shuojin weapons, successfully sent Yue Wentian away, and deliberately lured Lou Binghe to escape from prison, took King Ke hostage, and then killed King Ke and blamed Lou Binghe. Ning Zhao cruelly removed Lou Binghe, and also made Ning Zhao lose a son. The purpose was to take advantage of the conflict between the Han family and the prince, and drive a wedge between the Han family and Ning Zhao."

"Now that Han Lingyi is dead, and the Han family and Ning Zhao are separated, you should be happy."

Xiao Sheng turned to the people around him, "You can't take the initiative to be soft-hearted in the path you want to take, and Han Lingyi's death was not caused by you."

Qin Guanyue closed her eyes, as if she was tired, "I'm not soft-hearted, I had expected this possibility a long time ago, but I still continued."

Xiao Sheng looked calm, "So what?"

They were born in Qin Tianjian, and they were brought up as killers since they were young, and what they did after entering Qin Tianjian was bloody.And Han Lingyi was born in the Marquis Mansion and married into the royal family, so she should have been prepared to be involved in the power struggle long ago.

"Han Lingyi was born in the Marquis Mansion, and later married into the East Palace. She was wealthy half her life, but was used and bullied by the Crown Prince. This is the path she chose, so you don't have to blame yourself."

"..."

"I just..." Qin Guanyue spit out the white mist lightly, unable to see clearly, "I feel something is wrong."

Xiao Sheng's brows moved slightly, "What's wrong?"

Qin Guanyue was silent for a long time, "The accident is too big, Han Lingyi—"

Before he finished speaking, there was a noise from the street across the alley.

Xiao Sheng listened carefully, "The sound of horseshoes is very hurried."

Qin Guanyue frowned, "The imperial city is an important place, horses are not allowed to gallop, the light ones are punished with a hundred sticks, and the severe ones are punished with death, how can someone be so arrogant."

Hearing this, Xiao Sheng took a step back, jumped onto the roof beside the street, and saw a group of men in white heavy armor galloping towards the direction they had just come from on the main street in the east of the city.

The team of people was full of killing spirit, as if they had just come off the battlefield, when Xiao Sheng saw the Yan Ling logo on the white armor of the leader, his expression changed.

"problem occurs!"

He immediately jumped off the roof and said to Qin Guanyue, "Han Laohou has galloped back to Beijing with several lieutenants of the Yan Ling Army!"

Qin Guanyue suddenly opened her eyes wide, "Why did Lord Hou suddenly return to Beijing? Did Zhanyu Pavilion get any news in advance?!"

"It is true that there was no news that the old Hou Ye returned to Beijing..." Xiao Sheng also knew that the matter was serious, "There is only one possibility, the old Hou Ye deliberately concealed his tracks and returned to Beijing secretly."

Returning to the capital secretly against the decree, and leading troops into the imperial city, both of which are crimes of treason. The old Hou Ye has been loyal to the law all his life, so there is only one possibility for him to ignore it like this.

Qin Guanyue said coldly, "Someone told him about Han Lingyi's death."

Xiao Sheng was startled, "How is this possible? Han Lingyi died only three days ago, and the corpse was hidden in the Prince's Mansion for three days. It was only revealed this morning. Who can predict in advance and secretly inform the old lord?"

Qin Guanyue gritted her teeth, "The person who really drove Han Lingyi to death behind the scenes will naturally know!"

Xiao Sheng was horrified.

Qin Guanyue made a decisive decision, "Go back to the Prince's Mansion!"
