Resourceful beauty

Chapter 156

"What did you say? You can't get in touch, why can't you get in touch?"

The King Lu's Mansion in the capital is located in Xici Hutong at the foot of the imperial city. Although no one lives there all year round, it is kept clean. At this moment, in the study of the main hall Xiyuan, King Lu raised his eyes and asked the guard in front of him. It is thinking.

"Master, the gates of King Qi's mansion have been closed these days. The subordinates visited the mansion several times at night, but they didn't see anything unusual in the mansion. It seems that people are really panic-stricken. , I have searched for it, but there is no one, even the Spring Breeze Building that he goes to the most, the subordinate has asked people to inquire about it, and he hasn't been there for several days."

The man in black answered, his confidence gradually lacking, and he lowered his head with a look of fear.

King Lu was standing behind the book table to write the post, but now he listened to the servant's report, put down his pen and sat back in the armchair, not knowing what he was thinking.

Except for Mo Luo's disappearance, everything else seemed to be normal, but it was this normality that made King Lu aware that something might be wrong.

"Mo Luo has a special appearance, so I went to the city gate guard to inquire to see if he has left the city. That kid has been frightened since he knew that the person who was going to lay a voodoo was King Qi, so don't run away while we are not paying attention... "

He exhorted in a deep voice, but King Lu still hoped in his heart that this was a possibility, otherwise, if Mo Luo fell into the hands of others, something would happen if he didn't keep it.

The man in black responded, and King Lu asked about the situation in the palace again. The man said in detail: "The subordinates have arranged people to watch day and night. King Qi lives in Ronghua, who lives in the front garden of the palace. The accompanying imperial doctors lived in the east and west side halls. The imperial doctors came in and out, but they always looked worried, which showed that there was no progress. There were also many medicines boiled in the kitchen, but they were all intact. Take it out."

King Qi was hit by the Gu, and his teeth were closed tightly. Except for Mo Luo or Miao Jiang, the masters of dispelling the Gu, and the Immortal Da Luo could save him.

King Lu finally showed a little smile, "Well done. In short, you must keep an eye on both sides of Prince Qi's Mansion and the Palace, so that nothing goes wrong."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

The man in black cupped his fists in response.

"Go out."

After King Lu spoke, the man in black saluted and quickly retreated. After closing the study door, he wiped off his cold sweat. He was really worried about his moody master getting angry about Moro.

However, it is necessary to hurry up now, if there is no news from Mo Luo when the master inquires again, the next unlucky person will be himself.

Thinking of this, the man in black quickened his pace.

Not a while after the man in black left, another well-mannered middle-aged man came. The King of Lu respectfully called him "Mr. Xun".

The matter of Mo Luo, the king of Lu only regarded it as a coincidence and didn't take it to heart. However, Emperor Rui'an's persuasion made the king of Lu feel a little uneasy. This has never happened in the past, "Mr. Xun, you Say, will the Holy Majesty become suspicious?"

Mr. Xun shook his head, "Your Highness hasn't shown any flaws, how could His Majesty be suspicious? Your Highness is too worried..."

King Lu nodded hesitantly, "Then, regarding the matter of asking the court to increase troops, what do you think the king has a chance of winning?"

Seemingly quite complacent, Mr. Xun was short of a feather fan in his hand, stroked his goatee, and said with a soft smile: "The situation in Ningbei is also known to the Holy Majesty. If the imperial court does not increase its troops, once the Udal tribe makes a strong attack Attack, when the time comes, what the imperial court will send is not the [-] soldiers and horses proposed by the prince. At that time, Ningbei will be in a state of great power again. Not to mention the loss of the few percent of the income that was too old last year, the treasury There is also a large amount of supplies, and the gain outweighs the loss. Even if it is a rainy day, the Holy Majesty will agree."

King Lu seemed to trust Mr. Xun quite a bit, and after hearing what he said, he showed a bit of satisfaction on his face.

Immediately, he said with some regret: "I don't know how many soldiers I can accept for my use of the tigers I got from King Qi."

Just like King Qi analyzed, for King Lu today, the most important thing is to recruit troops. He always hopes that he has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, so that he can support his troops back to Beijing with full confidence, and kill his useless nephew. The son emperor kicked off the golden throne.

Every time there is an extra man in his hand, the expectation in his heart will be more eager. However, even today, that day still seems to be far away from him, which makes him a little impatient.

"My lord, remember to be safe and don't be impatient. For such a big event, we must plan carefully. We should not act rashly until the right time, place and people are in our favor. Otherwise, the embankment of a thousand miles will be destroyed by an ant's nest. The lord has worked so hard to plan so much. A long time of painstaking efforts, but all in vain."

Mr. Xun tried his best to persuade him.

King Lu nodded, with a humble face, how could he see the greedy and superficial appearance in front of others.

"King Qi is already a living dead, and all the military power in the Northwest Camp has been transferred to others. Now it is no longer a problem. The top priority, the prince should get troops from the Holy One to reinforce Ningbei as soon as possible, and return to Ningbei to deploy as soon as possible. Being in the capital is like being trapped in a cage, and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages."

Mr. Xun suggested again.

King Lu smiled triumphantly, "Before I came, I told Mr. Jing that if you haven't heard the news of my farewell to the Holy Majesty after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you should write to me in the name of the princess who is seriously ill. If you want to come, it will take two or three days." You will receive the letter."

"My lord is really far-sighted..."

Mr. Xun applauded.

On the 25th day of the first lunar month, the family letter urgently sent from eight hundred miles north of Ning was in the hands of King Lu.

The letter was written by Prince Lu's son. In the letter, Princess Lu, who was bedridden a few years ago, has become more and more ill recently. She has consulted famous doctors in Ningbei, but nothing has improved. Please return to Ningbei quickly.

On the night when he received the letter, King Lu entered the palace and begged in Zhaoyang Hall, hoping to return to Ningbei as soon as possible.

Naturally, Emperor Rui'an would not refuse. Not only did he bestow two imperial doctors with superb medical skills, but he also prepared several carts of precious medicinal materials and supplements for King Lu to take back to Ningbei.

And when King Lu suggested that the Udal tribe was not stable, and sent troops to provoke him several times, hoping that the court would send more troops to help, as Mr. Xun said, Emperor Rui'an only thought about it and agreed.

However, Emperor Rui'an did not specify how much additional troops would be sent. He said that King Lu would return to Ningbei as soon as possible to increase the number of troops. Afterwards, he would discuss with the courtiers and go to Ningbei as soon as possible.

With his wish fulfilled, King Lu didn't hesitate any longer. He went to Yongshou Palace to bid farewell to the Queen Mother early the next morning, and then embarked on the journey back to Ningbei with his entourage.

Although the auspicious matter is still mentioned from time to time, it gradually loses its enthusiasm, because the spring on the ninth day of February is coming, and the inns in the capital are full, and there are even people in the hidden piles. Sell ​​exam questions.

In Prince Qi's mansion, everything was still quiet.

After racking their brains and arguing for a few days, Su Yuan finally found out that Fang Zhengjun and Fang Ruxuan were for real, and she was really under house arrest in the Yixin Palace.

The news from inside could not be spread, but it did not prevent the news from outside from coming in. After learning that King Lu had returned to Ningbei, Su Yuan knew that she had been used by King Lu again. He really didn't care about her own life. , and laying a gu on King Qi is her last use value.

After a long time of fuss with no image, the current Su Yuan is like a crazy woman.

Whether she showed the aura of Princess Qi, or pretended to be crazy and entangled, she found that she couldn't get out of Yixin Palace, Su Yuan turned her attention to Fang Ruhui.

Since the day she was let in, Fang Ruhui hadn't been out for the past few days. After a few days of messing around, those women didn't buy it at all, and Fang Ruhui was immediately discouraged like a paper tiger.

"Don't worry, your elder brother is outside, maybe he has delivered a letter to Ruyu, your birthday will be in a few days, and your sister will come back to celebrate your birthday. Besides, the lady in Qiu's mansion is getting married, mother accepts it." Posts from the Wulingbo Mansion, no matter what, they have to go to watch the ceremony, they dare not hold us mother and son like these days."

Even though she said so, Su Yuan didn't have the slightest idea in her heart, otherwise, after so long, why didn't she see her son come to have a look at her?
It's just that he couldn't make up his mind, how should he send a message to Fang Ruyu, even if the two brothers and sisters are together, even if they can't do their best, it's still possible to make troubles all over the city, right?
Su Yuan didn't believe it, the little bastard Fang Zhengjun couldn't be drowned by spitting Xingzi.

Could it be that Fang Zhengru was also detained in Mingyuan Pavilion by them, so no news could be spread?
Already prepared for the worst, Su Yuan is still counting the days, waiting for Fang Ruyu to come back to see her, or to celebrate Fang Ruhui's birthday.

In a blink of an eye, on the sixth day of February, Fang Ruyu really came.

Stopping outside the gate of the Yixin Palace before coming in, Fang Ruyu rubbed her hands hard and soft for a long time, the two women still had clay faces, but they didn't let go to help her in with words.

Helpless, Fang Ruyu went to find Chen Mei.

After hearing Fang Ruxuan's words, she had already guessed that Fang Ruyu would come, so Chen Mei pushed the matter to Fang Zhengjun, saying that she could not make the decision.

After filling his stomach with tea, he waited until Fang Zhengjun came back from the outside in the evening. His nose was not his nose, and his eyes were not his eyes. He told his mother-in-law to take her to Yixin Palace. "Although the married daughter poured out the water, if the second sister wants to stay with the princess and has a heart of admiration, Brother Yu will naturally not ignore it. But it's up to you, Second Sister should think carefully before entering the door."

Before coming here, she was already in a state of confusion, but now she heard Fang Zhengjun's words that were half admonishing and half threatening, and Fang Ruyu's feet softened even more.

After entering the Yixin Palace, Fang Ruyu hesitated for a long time after the mother and daughter cried, and said to Su Yuan, "Grandmother told me that if I still want to live a good life in the future, don't go back to the palace, otherwise , what will happen at that time, don't worry about the grandfather's family being cruel."

Fang Ruyu didn't know what happened, but she probably guessed that the murder of Su Xin back then was probably caused by Dongchuang.

Fang Zhengjun and Fang Ruxuan didn't dare to do anything to themselves, but Fang Zhengjun and Fang Ruxuan didn't dare to do anything to them, but now Fang Ruyu's admonition from the Miao family made Su Yuan feel cold.
