Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 718
Because it was already late at night, Concubine You advised Emperor Chen to go and rest first. Tomorrow, he should be able to see Zhu Xiuyuan who had returned from Hangzhou.

Emperor Chen nodded, his smile did not diminish, he took Concubine You's hand and walked into the palace, ready to rest.

But not long after he lay down, a eunuch came to report that it was Dong Cheng, the governor of Runzhou Prefecture, who wanted to see him.

Because Dong Cheng is the father-in-law of God Leihou, and he is honored by his son-in-law, Dong Cheng also has the trust of Chen Huang.

In addition, it was such a festive moment, so the Jinwu guards and eunuchs who conveyed the order truthfully conveyed it without any hesitation.

"Your Majesty, Dong Cheng's request for an audience at this time is probably for the urgent letter from King Linhai."

Concubine You lay on Emperor Chen's chest, supporting her chin with her hands, her long sleeves sliding down, revealing a plump and white wrist.

"Oh, what should I say?" Chen Huang asked.

At that moment, Concubine You analyzed it and found that her thoughts were similar to Dong Shuyu's.

To put it simply, Dong Cheng wanted to know more news.

"Well, pass it in!" After hearing this, Emperor Chen nodded slightly, and then ordered the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch received the emperor's order and hurriedly trotted to carry out the order.

"My beloved concubine, help me up..."

"Your Majesty, it's getting late today. Why don't you just hand over the letter to Dong Cheng? There's no need to get up?"

Even though Concubine You Gui said so, she also started to act, gently stroking Chen Huang and getting up.

"Zhu Aiqing is the pillar of the country. His father-in-law is concerned about his safety. Naturally, I should tell him face to face to reassure him!"

Emperor Chen sighed secretly, hey, it's better to be a foolish king and not care about anything.

But now that he has decided to be at least half a wise king, and the other party is still someone he values, then Emperor Chen must get up and meet Dong Cheng in person...

The main hall of Qin'an Hall.

Dong Cheng met Emperor Chen here.

After the ceremony was over, Dong Cheng asked directly because he was anxious.

At that moment, Chen Huang recounted the contents of the letter.

Including the news that Zhu Xiuyuan was safe and sound, and that Dong Shuzhen had also returned with him, Dong Cheng was informed of everything.

After hearing this, Dong Cheng was overjoyed, bid farewell to Emperor Chen, and hurried out of the palace to return to his residence.

Inside the Shenleihou Mansion, Dong Shuyu and the others were still waiting eagerly.

It was also at the same time that Dong Cheng had just walked out of the palace gate, another person brought a message, entered the palace, and passed Dong Cheng.

That was the news that Lin Bochang requested an order and rushed to Hangzhou overnight to greet Zhu Xiuyuan.

Because the matter concerned the God of Thunder, the Jinwu guards and eunuchs who delivered the news also did not dare to neglect. Soon, Lin Bochang's request was sent to Chen Huang.

In fact, Lin Bochang's request was very inappropriate.

Sent out a large army to Hangzhou just to pick up one person. What if you led a large army out to rebel?
As an emperor, Chen Huang had to consider this kind of problem.

Concubine You, who was beside the pillow, knew this very well, so she remained silent and left everything to Emperor Chen's discretion.

Issues involving the mobilization of the army were extremely sensitive, especially not long after the invasion of the Yan State army. Everyone, especially Emperor Chen, actually felt tight in their hearts.

Lin Bochang made such a request at this time. It doesn't sound good, but he just doesn't know how to advance or retreat!

Is there something wrong with Lin Bochang's head?
But obviously, Lin Bochang knew this very well.

But he came without any hesitation, without any hesitation.

Yes, Lin Bochang did it on purpose.He wanted to use this matter to make everyone in the court understand that the Divine Thunder Army was an extraordinary existence in His Majesty's eyes!

Above the dragon collapse, Chen Huang frowned and thought for a moment. Concubine You lay on her side, not daring to move, quietly paying attention to the changes in Chen Huang's facial expression.

"I will pass on the order. I agree to Vice General Lin's request. However, he is only allowed to take five hundred soldiers and set off overnight, and there will be no obstacles along the way! Also, tell him to protect Zhu Aiqing!"

Concubine You couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

The moment Emperor Chen's decree was delivered to Lin Bochang, Lin Bochang felt very satisfied.

He quickly turned his horse around and returned to the main camp of the Divine Thunder Army. He mobilized his troops and generals, took Huang Zhigao and Wu Shaoguang, and [-] Divine Thunder Army soldiers, and rushed to Hangzhou overnight.

The rest of the soldiers, as well as Liu Anping, who was injured in his arm, stayed behind to guard the camp.

At the same time, the news that Lin Bochang led [-] soldiers and horses to go south to Hangzhou overnight has spread to a small area in the capital.

This is another piece of bombshell news and a signal.

Mobilizing an army to pick up people in Hangzhou is obviously abnormal. Who knows what you did with these people in Hangzhou?

This is a taboo for military strategists.

However, Emperor Chen agreed and personally issued an order to approve 500 people...

The Prime Minister Li Zhong, Jinwu Right Guard General Han Qingshan, the Shenleihou Mansion, and various mansions in the city all remained silent after hearing the news, but they had different thoughts.

Let's talk about Dong Cheng. After returning from the palace, he went straight to the Shenleihou Mansion, entered the mansion, and told everyone the good news from Emperor Chen.

Zhu Xiuyuan is still alive and kicking around.

And Dong Shuzhen was not unusual at all, just following Zhu Xiuyuan.

This is really great news!
In an instant, the entire mansion was filled with joy.

Dong Shuyu was finally relieved, her delicate body seemed to be revived with blood, and her former energy was restored.

The paleness on her face gradually disappeared and turned into a faint blush, which was very beautiful.

Moreover, the two girls, Haruyue and Dongmei, discovered at the same time that their young lady actually... actually smiled at this moment!
Smile!

Dong Shuyu’s smile!

Oh my god, the two maids looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

I remember that the last time the young lady smiled was a few years ago, before she put on the hat of "Kefu"!

"Father, my daughter doesn't want to sleep, she wants to clean the entire mansion overnight, sweep away the dullness of the past, and then decorate it well, so that Master Hou and Zhen'er return to the mansion tomorrow!"

Dong Shuyu said to Dong Cheng.

"Okay, okay, Yu'er, you can make the arrangements!" Dong Cheng also noticed Dong Shuyu's smile and couldn't help but feel relieved.

As a result, the huge Shen Leihou Mansion really stayed up all night. The candles in the lanterns were changed one after another, and the entire mansion was like daylight.

Dong Cheng was old after all, and his energy was not as good as that of young people, so he went back to rest contentedly.

As for the others, ranging from Dong Shuyu to various maids and servants, as well as thousands of family members, they all did not go back to their rooms to rest. Instead, they worked all night long under Dong Shuyu's plan...

Of course, rewards have been distributed to everyone in the mansion, which is a huge sum of money.

In addition, the Lord Marquis is about to return, and the servants and maids are also very happy. Even if there is no financial reward, they will clean up all night without any complaints.

Dong Shuyu really has a good way of running a family...
