Emperor of the Red Chamber

Chapter 55 Qingbai releases Uncle Jiu
Dangchun Garden is called a garden, but it is both a palace and a garden. It has a large palace gate.

It was morning and the sky was getting brighter.

Although the sun has not risen very high, it can be predicted that today will be a sunny day, a sunny day in winter.

Yuan Qingbai was very happy to see the bright sun and bathe in the warm sunshine on a cold winter day.

At this time, Yuan Qingbai was walking towards the palace gate, followed by hundreds of guards and pro-military camp officers and soldiers.

Among them was a group of people headed by Zhao You who had been responsible for protecting Yuan Qingbai for three years.

Today, Yuan Qingbai will take this group of people to go on an imperial mission!

This should be regarded as the first serious imperial mission that Yuan Qingbai has done since time travel, and it is a very important imperial mission in his opinion.

The ninth prince who had been imprisoned for three years came back to assist the cold-faced third prince. Isn't such an imperial mission important?

Just this morning, when Emperor Jing'an told Yuan Qingbai that it was time to release the Ninth Prince, Emperor Jing'an ordered Yuan Qingbai to release the Ninth Prince.

Yuan Qingbai was surprised. He had never been on a serious imperial mission before, and he was still young. This job should have been assigned to his father, the cold-faced king.

However, of course he is happy to accept this imperial mission.

He has a good impression of Uncle Jiu, who is upright and straightforward.

He also knew that if nothing unexpected happened, this Ninth Uncle would be the most important confidant of King Lengmian's father after he ascended the throne.

According to his speculation, the old man might have wanted him to take this opportunity to get close to Uncle Jiu.

He also speculated that the old man might have decided to give the throne to the cold-faced king.

He also speculated that the old man might have already asked his imperial grandson to enter the court, and this imperial mission was his first step into the court. Because he is the old man's beloved grandson and the son of the cold-faced king. He even passed the martial arts exam and has achieved something in his studies.

Yuan Qingbai was still looking forward to stepping into the court.

Therefore, he was very excited at this time.

Zhao You, the second-class guard who was following Yuan Qingbai at this moment, was also excited.

Zhao You was responsible for protecting Yuan Qingbai for three years and could be regarded as Yuan Qingbai's confidant.

And Zhao You felt that the third prince should be the next emperor, and Yuan Qingbai should be the emperor of the next generation.

Now he is accompanying Yuan Qingbai on the imperial mission, and this emperor's mission is to release the Ninth Prince.

Zhao You has already felt a sign of change.

"Follow and protect Emperor Sun Qingbai well. I, Zhao You, should have a bright future. I will be promoted to at least a first-class bodyguard in the future, and I may even become a commander-in-chief or even an admiral!"

This is what Zhao You is thinking now.

Yuan Qingbai, with thoughts in mind, was walking towards the palace gate.

Zhao You, who was thinking, was closely guarding Yuan Qingbai.

Suddenly, Yuan Qingbai saw several people coming towards him, and the leader was his father, the cold-faced king.

The third prince stayed at Yuanzhao Garden last night. He came to visit because he learned that his old father was ill.

The third prince did not expect that shortly after entering the palace gate, he would meet his beloved third son on the road.

Where is this guy going with hundreds of emperor's soldiers so early in the morning?

After the third prince discovered Yuan Qingbai, he was stunned for a moment and felt confused.

Yuan Qingbai quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Son, please greet your father!" The third prince asked curiously: "Where are you going?"

Yuan Qingbai said respectfully: "It's a coincidence that I met my father here. Just now, my son followed the emperor's grandfather's order and took Kanhe to the capital to release Uncle Jiu. Originally, my son was planning to send someone to report back to his father."

The third prince was stunned again when he heard this.

No wonder he was in a daze. He didn't expect that his father would suddenly release his ninth brother who had been imprisoned for three years, and he didn't expect that his father would hand over this job to his son Qing Bai...

Yuan Qingbai immediately took out Kanhe and handed it to the third prince: "Kanhe is here."

Kanhe is a kind of talisman deed that is verified to be correct. It is stamped with a seal and divided into two halves. Each party holds one half. When using it, the two halves of the talisman are combined, and the seal is sealed after verification as a voucher.

What Yuan Qingbai took out now was Kanhe to release the Ninth Prince.

The third prince hurriedly took the Kanhe and looked at it carefully. He was so happy that he couldn't help but smile on his cold face.

While the third prince handed the survey back to Yuan Qingbai, he said with difficulty concealing his joy: "This matter is important. You must handle it well and don't delay it."

Yuan Qingbai smiled slightly: "Father, don't worry, my son will be spared."

The third prince looked at Zhao You and the hundreds of guards and officers and soldiers in the pro-military camp.

He realized that this was a manifestation of his father's love for Qingbai. He was afraid that Qingbai would also encounter the same danger of assassination as him, so he arranged so many soldiers of the emperor for Qingbai.

The assassination of him a few days ago still left him with lingering fears, and he even felt like "Once bitten by a snake, I will be afraid of the well rope for ten years."

He also knew that since he was assassinated on the road between Dangchun Garden and Shenjing City a few days ago, his old father had ordered that the entire western suburbs of Shenjing be put on tight guard.

Now his son Qingbai is leading hundreds of guards and officers and soldiers from the military camp.

I don't expect it to be dangerous.

The third prince felt reassured and said, "Go ahead."

Yuan Qingbai did not leave immediately, but asked: "Dad, are you here to visit the emperor's grandfather?"

The third prince nodded: "I heard that Emperor Qin's grandfather was ill last night. How is the situation?"

Yuan Qingbai said: "It's not a serious symptom. It's just that I had a severe fever last night, and I'm still a little hot now. My son just served soup to the emperor's grandfather, and the emperor's grandfather ordered his son to release Uncle Jiu in person. He shouldn't be asleep at the moment." "

The third prince thought that his son was very attentive and was busy running important imperial errands, but he still did not forget to remind his father of such things.

Yuan Qingbai didn't waste any more time: "My son will go to Beijing now."

The third prince said "yes" and warned: "Be more careful."

Immediately, Yuan Qingbai took Zhao You and other hundreds of guards and officers and soldiers from the pro-military camp to leave Dangchun Garden on horseback.

drive! drive! drive!
Hundreds of horses galloped on the road between Dangchun Garden and Shenjing City, kicking up bursts of dust along the way.

Horses are galloping and dust is flying.

Just a few days ago, Yuan Qingbai rode on this road with more than 20 guards and soldiers from the pro-military camp. He was going to rescue his father, the cold-faced king.

It had only been a few days, and today he took hundreds of guards and soldiers from the pro-military camp and once again rode on this road, and this time he was going to release his ninth uncle.

Although he was not going to fight this time, Yuan Qingbai seemed to feel the blood boiling in his body.

Because he was riding a horse and taking hundreds of the emperor's soldiers with him, Yuan Qingbai's trip to Beijing was naturally fast and convenient.

In less than half an hour, he arrived outside the Ninth Prince's residence...
