The useless daughter-in-law is going to turn the world upside down

Chapter 837 Quickly Send Someone to Rescue Fourteenth Brother

The little things and gold and silver that Miao Jiang pays every year are not enough to increase the cost of troops. If the witch doctor family can be used by Dongming, it will make up for Dongming's losses.

The Minister of the Ministry of War also said: "Your Majesty, Nanyun people are also good at witchcraft and voodoo. We also need witch doctors in the army on the border of Nanyun."

Liya looked at Emperor Kang with sparkling eyes, which meant, as if to say: Look, you want to return Xuan Tianling, and your courtiers are not happy.

Emperor Kang's face darkened, he didn't like it when someone confronted him, especially in this matter, he hoped that Xuan Tianling would be lost.

He said lightly: "Stop arguing, maybe Xuan Tianling was thrown into the sea by Sixi."

They encountered many things at sea and fell into the sea countless times.

Li Ya said with a smile: "I know Xuan Tianling is in the original Prince Jin's residence."

As soon as Emperor Kang came back, she felt that Xuan Tianling had also returned.When she came to Dongming Capital, the first thing she wanted to do was to find Xuan Tianling's whereabouts. She had to know who had such an important thing.

Duo Fu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this servant put all Sixi's relics in his room in Prince Jin's Mansion, and Xuan Tianling must be among them."

Kang Di waved his hand and said, "Then you take Princess Liya to look for it."

As for whether Xuan Tianling will be returned to him after Li Ya finds it, that is her problem.

Taking it back is just what he wants, if not taking it back, it will be a clause in the contract between the two parties.Anyway, no matter how expensive Xuan Tianling is, it cannot be associated with marriage.

In the end, Xuan Tianling was found, and the cooperation of the witch doctor clan was also written in the terms of the contract.But Xuan Tianling was still given to Emperor Kang, he thought it was a token of the witch doctor clan, and Li Ya thought it was her token of love.

In any case, after nearly ten days of negotiations, the agreement between the two parties has been reached.

After signing the agreement, Emperor Kang also made a very gracious decision to hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow, as the master, to entertain the subordinate country of Miaojiang, and see them off by the way.

Cough cough, this is Emperor Kang chasing someone away.

The emperor wanted to go to the queen mother to talk to Wang Fengsai, but was persuaded by the tenth prince, saying that the queen mother cried for a long time because of this matter, and she should not do this in the future.

The emperor didn't want to quarrel with the queen mother all the time, so he told the tenth prince to persuade the queen mother well, and let it go.

The palace banquet to see off the Miao Jiang Mission was very lively, because with the subsidiary country, the officials of Dongming felt that their status had been raised to a higher level, and they always showed the posture of a big country.

Because Li Ya ruined her reputation at the gate of the palace, the Empress Dowager looked at her with poisonous eyes.But Liya is the princess of Miaojiang, and now the two countries have just reached an agreement on diplomatic relations, so she can't do anything to Liya for the time being.

There is never a lack of noble ladies who perform well at palace banquets, especially when the young emperor did not choose a concubine, the noble ladies put their lives on the line.

The Empress Dowager sat beside the emperor and watched the performance of the noble ladies with a smile. When she saw the candidate she liked, she reminded the emperor who only cared about drinking and eating to watch from time to time.

"Your Majesty, look at Hui'er's dancing posture, singing voice, and literary talents, which are among the noble girls in Beijing, and her personality is also virtuous and generous."

The emperor glanced at it, and gave a noncommittal "hmm".

This is the granddaughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Punishment, and his uncle and cousin Zhao Shuhui.

The queen mother smiled gracefully and virtuously, and said: "This child has been sensible since she was a child, and she is also caring with the Ai family. The Ai family plans to let her enter the palace to accompany the Ai family."

What I said was worth pondering. This meant that Zhao Shuhui was appointed as a concubine or even a queen by default.

Emperor Kang knew that because of the empress dowager's desire for power, she would definitely want her niece from her natal family to be the empress.

Indifferently said: "Zhao Shuhui is a girl, living in the harem may damage her reputation. If you want her, you can call her into the palace to talk with you at any time, there is no need to live in the palace."

The queen mother's face sank slightly, and then she returned to normal, and continued to watch the performance as if nothing had happened, but her clenched hands showed her mood.

Seeing the young and mature tenth prince, the Empress Dowager's eyes warmed up and she showed a loving smile.

Many courtiers looked at the noble daughters competing for beauty, and they all had their own thoughts, thinking of their own beautiful daughters, granddaughters, nieces, and nephews. If one of them enters the palace and wins the favor, the whole family will follow suit. .

They all thought that when the first emperor passed away for three months, it would be time to ask the emperor to choose a concubine to be the queen.

Everyone has their own thoughts, thinking about their own little Jiujiu.

Suddenly, there was a chaotic and noisy sound outside.

A eunuch hurried in and whispered something in Duofu's ear, and Duofu's expression changed.

Emperor Kang frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Duofu whispered: "Fukang Palace is flooded."

Several concubines of the late emperor lived in Fukang Palace, including Lin Guiren and the Fourteenth Prince.

The first emperor's son can't have accidents in the palace, otherwise, those people don't know how to discredit him.

Kang Di said coldly: "Hurry up and organize people to put out the fire!"

With the Miao Jiang Mission here, he didn't want anything to happen, and he would lose face to Dongming Kingdom.

However, the flames soaring into the sky couldn't be concealed, and soon there was a panicked cry from outside: "It's flooded! Put out the fire! The harem is flooded!"

The banquet was suspended, and the guests panicked.

Emperor Kang hurriedly said loudly: "Everyone, don't panic, the fire started in the harem, and it won't burn here in a while! Everyone can go out of the palace now."

The people who participated in the palace banquet were all important officials of the court, so they still had some strength.Those ladies and aristocratic women were also well-bred, and they all settled down after a moment of panic.

Everyone went out of the palace in an orderly manner, but nothing happened.

Emperor Kang hurried to the harem with his people, and the tenth prince followed closely behind with the support of the queen mother.

When we arrived at Fukang Palace, the entire Fukang Palace had been submerged in raging fire.

Several concubines and palace officials who had escaped sat on the ground with lingering fear, staring blankly at the sea of ​​flames. Many people died inside, and they escaped by chance.

The Empress Dowager's face was extremely gloomy, the fire was so big, it was not normal at all, she could already smell the smell of fire oil, "What's going on?"

Four concubines of the former emperor lived in the Fukang Palace, Lin Guiren and the fourteenth prince lived in the West Side Hall. The West Side Hall was already submerged in the sea of ​​fire, and the beams on it collapsed intermittently.

Kang Di's serious eyes swept over the survivors, and he had a bad feeling, so he asked in a deep voice, "Where's Little Fourteen?"

A court lady cried and said: "Yes, inside, none of Lin Guiren's people can escape."

People in other halls more or less escaped, only Lin Guiren's side hall did not come out.

A gleam flashed in the eyes of the tenth prince, but tears welled up immediately. He pulled up the emperor's sleeves and said, "Brother emperor! Send someone to save the fourteenth brother, and don't let him have trouble!"
