home in the end

Chapter 127

Hou Yunping and Li Xuanran walked out of the dungeon. Li Xuanran took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands. Seeing that Hou Yunping's expression was still ugly, he patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, "I've already stood on the opposite side, so why bother to get angry over this little thing?" ?”

"That's her son!" There was an unspeakable sadness in the voice.

Li Xuanran was silent, and stayed silent with him for a while, seeing that he regained his emotions, he asked him, "How did you catch him? He was very capable, and he managed to survive from her hands, but he fell into your hands again! "Li Xuanran shook his head in silent mourning for the other party's luck.

"In her eyes, they are all dead. It's just that he saw the opportunity quickly and was able to seize the opportunity to feign death and survive." Hou Yunping stopped, fell silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "It's just that I have never been reconciled. I want to know why she did this..."

Li Xuanran looked at Hou Yunping worriedly, Hou Yunping smiled mockingly, "Who knows it's because the fourth brother brought back the medicine that can cure the prince...just because...the fifth prince was born after she entered the palace..." Hou Yunping's eyes flashed Nausea and disgust.

Li Xuanran grabbed his hand, changed the subject and said, "I just don't know where the medicine Fourth Cousin brought back is, did she take it away?"

"Impossible," Hou Yunping vetoed, "We are the first to find fourth brother..."

Hou Yunping and Li Xuanran stopped at the same time and looked at each other. The first person to contact fourth brother was Liang Erlang!

Li Xuanran was a little uncertain: "Our people left quickly, and since they didn't take the token from Liang Erlang's body, if the medicine was on Liang Erlang's body, they shouldn't have been searched either, right?"

It's just that there were only women and children left in the Liang family at that time, and the Liang family brothers and sisters were even young. They didn't even know how their father died, so how could they know about the medicine?

When the two thought of this at the same time, they were both a little excited. Since they didn't know anyone in the Liang family, there was a possibility that the medicine was still there.

Li Xuanran said in a low voice: "I'll let people go to Quanzhou County, and you let your people go to Liang's house."

Hou Yunping hesitated for a moment, "It's better to go directly to the Liang family brothers and sisters, maybe they have some memories."

"Let's look for it first, and if we can't find it, we will ask in person."

Hou Yunping nodded.

……

In the imperial study room, the emperor sat lazily on the dragon chair, and asked the hidden guard kneeling underneath, "The fifth prince really said that?"

"Yes!"

"It's still too young, if he is smarter..."

Royal affairs are not something he, a hidden guard, can talk about.

The emperor touched the wrench on his thumb and said, "How is the Southwest Army?"

The dark guard's hands trembled, his head lowered, "Two garrison generals were taken in..."

The emperor sneered, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "I haven't even stood firm on my heels for such a long time, what use do I need him?"

The hidden guard didn't dare to speak, so he heard the emperor say in a low voice: "Could it be that all the generals in the world are in the Hou family and the Li family?"

This world was ruled by the Hou family and Li family following the founding emperor. After so many years of ups and downs, the royal family could not bring down the Hou family and Li family, and the Hou family and Li family could not replace it.

"Your Majesty, Madam Hou wants to marry Marquis Changping, and she has been looking for someone these days."

Marquis Changping is so powerful without his wife clan, if the power of his wife clan is added...

The emperor sat up slightly, "Have you chosen?"

"No, Marquis Changping's reputation in the capital is not good, and even the noble ladies are not very willing."

The emperor's eyes flashed brightly, "What's the bad reputation, these are old fritters, he just died two wives, it's not uncommon in the capital, and the statement of molesting children can only deceive the subordinates Those who have been in the court for decades, who don't know why? You can make a copy of the list later."

The dark guard responded with a respectful "yes".

The emperor asked about the empress again, "... Mrs. Hou has been refusing to enter the palace for the past few years, and the relationship between the empress and the Hou and Li families is getting worse and worse. Did you find out why?"

The hidden guard hesitated and said, "It seems to be because of Fourth Master Hou..."

The emperor's hands tightened, motioning for him to continue.

"Humble job occasionally hears Mrs. Hou mention it, it seems to be because of Hou Siye's relationship."

The emperor snorted coldly, "Speaking of him, haven't you found out who did it until now?"

The dark guard's face was a little ashamed, "Damn the humble job!"

"Damn you, I've been a scapegoat for so many years, when are you going to clear up my grievances?"

The dark guard felt that his back was wet with sweat, but he didn't even dare to move, so he could only reply in a shy voice: "The humble official will definitely find out the culprit!"

"It's nice to say," the emperor's eyes flashed sarcasm, "Is it my incompetence or your incompetence, on my territory, I still have to suffer such injustice!"

The emperor's voice lowered, "Back then... the old Marquis went to the front...how did the three little generals go? Find out who informed them, and you should be able to find who it is?"

The dark guard was stunned, "Wouldn't it be the Hou family who sent the distress letter to the three junior generals of the Hou family?"

The emperor's bright eyes looked at him, the dark guard's heart trembled, and his body shuddered, the emperor wanted to plot against the old Hou Ye, even if he wanted the lives of the three little generals, he would not have an attack at that time, otherwise, everyone in the world would be shocked. I know what's going on, but the three little generals just happened to appear beside the old Hou Ye at the same time, or they went from different directions... Fourth Master Hou was the only one who ran out of the battlefield, but he couldn't. Returning to the capital alive... The whole world thought it was the emperor who did it, it was himself. If he hadn't participated in the whole process and the emperor kept sending him to find out the truth, he would have thought it was the emperor who did it...

"I don't want this matter to drag on."

The dark guard shuddered and stepped back as promised.

The emperor stood in front of the window with his head up. In the past two years, he put aside dealing with the Hou family and the Li family. It was because he realized this that there was a secret force that did not belong to him, the Hou and Li families, nor the Tao family. He doesn't even know who his opponent is, this is the most terrifying.At least the Hou family and the Li family have no plans to overstep. They like the prince, but luckily the prince is weak and sick...

In the Kunning Palace, the queen's eyes flashed with anger, and she said to the female officer beside her, "Why is he so stupid? He has already done this, why not just beat the gongs and drums to announce to the world that he wants to fight with his crown prince?" My brother fights for the world, so he can still win a reputation of being aboveboard! With such a scheming, if he can keep others from seeing it, I will admire him, but who doesn't know that he does this?"

The female officer stood aside and didn't dare to interrupt, and the queen didn't need it either, "If he wasn't the son of me and..."

The female official slandered in her heart, didn't the prince also say your son?Why do you have to kill one son and help another son up?

The empress calmed down after a while, and was about to ask about the fifth prince, when a little eunuch reported outside, "Concubine Ou Gui, please see me!"

The queen was stunned for a moment, with a happy smile on her face, she got up and stood up. Concubine Ou Guifei was wearing a silver neon red fine cloud brocade Guangling acacia top and a pleated skirt scattered with flowers, water mist and green grass, looking fresh and bright.

The queen's eyes lit up, she stepped forward to hold her hand, and asked, "Why did my sister come here? The banquet is about to start?"

Concubine Ou Gui smiled and nodded, "I'm about to go. Halfway through the walk, I heard that my sister was ill, so I made a detour to have a look. I heard my sister lose her temper when I was outside. What's wrong? It's Xiao Wu Made you angry?"

"Who else is it?" The queen pulled her to sit down together on the couch. A maid at the foot of the hall gave them a strange look, and the queen waved her hand and said, "You all go down."

The female officer saluted and then retreated with all the maids.

Seeing that they had left, the queen put away that smile, and looked at Concubine Ou Gui with some concern, "Why did you come here? It's less than half an hour since you left the banquet."

"I heard about Xiao Wu, so I came to see you, are you okay?" Concubine Ou Gui looked at her worriedly.

The queen smiled indifferently, "What can I do? It's just a trivial matter, and you don't have to rush here just because of it. But Xiao Wu should also learn a lesson, this time you ignore him and let him solve."

"But," Concubine Ou Gui hesitated, "I'm afraid this child doesn't know that he is wrong."

A stern look flashed in the queen's eyes, "That's why he should be taught a lesson, otherwise, he won't know how he died someday, so you are not allowed to help him this time."

Seeing her insistence, Concubine Ou nodded her head, and the queen asked about her situation.

The little maid outside the palace asked the people around her with some doubts, "I saw that the Empress's smile towards Concubine Ou Gui is true. Didn't it mean that the Empress and Concubine Ou Gui didn't get along?"

The maid covered her mouth anxiously, "Are you looking for death? The master in the palace is also something we can talk about? Don't say such things in the future, you forgot what your sister told you..."

The little palace maid was taken aback, but she didn't take it seriously. Seeing her solemn expression, she had no choice but to shut up and stop asking, thinking of going back and asking her sister.

Seeing her like this, the court lady blamed her elder sister. She looked quite sensible before, but now... Thinking of the queen's methods, she shuddered, thinking that she would look for her elder sister and throw her out. Such a person If you stay in Kunning Palace, something will happen sooner or later, maybe it will affect the people around you...

……

It was not until night that Liang Yilin was sent back reeking of alcohol. Seeing that he was still awake, Liang Yimei told him in detail what happened today, and finally said worriedly: "We have offended the Ou family too."

Liang Yilin waved his hand indifferently, "Don't worry about it, go back to sleep, I have a day off tomorrow, get up early, I will accompany you to see the shop."

Seeing that Liang Yimei didn't understand, she explained: "The Ou family are just relatives, no, not even relatives, their family has no capable people except a noble concubine in the palace, if Concubine Ou gave birth to a prince I'm still worried, but she only produced one princess, and the Cao family is a real second-rank official. The Ou family offended the first-rank master and the second-rank general at once. You think they will mess with it again on this basis Did they talk about it? After all, you were implicated by those two families."

Liang Yimei suddenly understood, and her heart was completely relieved.
