Chapter 531
Yunjing fell into chaos overnight, the courtiers resigned, the emperor was critically ill, the queen mother was unconscious, the prime minister was arrested, the goddess died, and the prince refused to inherit the throne.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the imperial palace, Concubine Xiao Shu looked at Sima Xuan who was sitting leisurely drinking tea with annoyance, and said in a deep voice, "Now that your grandfather has been captured by those traitors, you still have the heart to drink tea here! Can you Don't let the concubine be so chilling!"

When Sima Xuan heard Concubine Xiao Shu's questioning, he smiled slightly and said, "Could it be that what you should worry about right now, Concubine Mother, is that the throne will be inherited by the eldest brother? I never thought that at such a critical moment, Concubine Mother, you are actually caring about my grandfather..."

Concubine Xiao Shu heard the sarcasm in Sima Xuan's words, she frowned, and said in a deep voice, "He doesn't have that ability yet, so there is nothing to be afraid of!" Be an emperor!
Sima Xuan raised his eyebrows, and curled his mouth, "Then I would like to advise my concubine, now you'd better not think about saving your grandfather, otherwise you may even be implicated."

Concubine Xiao Shu's expression changed when she heard Sima Xuan's words. She stood up suddenly and looked at Sima Xuan, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that? What did you do again!"

"Why would concubine mother say that?" Sima Xuan chuckled, put down his teacup and stood up to look at Concubine Xiao Shu, "Grandpa, what can I do? Those things are all caused by my grandfather. Besides, son-in-law What can I do to my grandfather, it is too late for me to pray that my grandfather is safe."

"In this case, you..."

"Think of a way to save my grandfather, let's forget about this kind of thing..." Sima Xuan glanced at the emperor lying on the dragon bed, and shook his head, "Mother and concubine, please guard the emperor well, pray Royal father will wake up again one day, so you can still secure the position of the high imperial concubine."

"Xuan'er!" Concubine Xiao Shu grabbed Sima Xuan who was about to leave, and begged, "My concubine has always endured humiliation in order to let you ascend the throne. Didn't you also want to be emperor before? Now we are about to succeed. You can't just give up now!"

Sima Xuan pulled Concubine Xiao Shu's hand away vigorously, pursed his lips and said, "Mother Concubine, we will never succeed, this day will change soon." After finishing speaking, he left the Hall of Mental Cultivation without looking back.

……

In an inn on the outskirts of Beijing, a man in a moon-white gown with a cloak over it sat down at an empty table. Behind him was a young woman who was wearing a light green long skirt with a white cloak on top. Aozi, and a man dressed as a guard followed behind the two of them. The man looked at the woman standing behind him, smiled faintly, pointed to the bench beside him and said, "Sit down."

A shy smile appeared on the woman's face, she shook her head and said, "I'll just stand here and serve you, Young Master."

The man pulled the woman to sit down on the chair, and said with an indifferent and alienated smile on his face, "I have already said, you are not my maid, and you should not pretend to be a maid, I don't need anyone to serve you." of."

"Then why do you still let me stay with you?" The woman looked puzzled, looked at the capital city which was close at hand, and pursed her lips, "Since you have something to do, why don't we separate here, you saved my life , I have been serving the young master for so long, it can be regarded as offset, okay?"

The man looked at the stubborn girl sitting there, smiled slightly, and said with a light smile, "Don't you want to go to the capital to have a look?"

The woman shook her head, she glanced in the direction of the capital, her eyes flashed with disappointment, she pursed her lips and said, "Although Yunjing is big, it doesn't attract me as much as the world and Jianghu, so I don't want to visit Yunjing. "

The man nodded with a smile, and ordered a few dishes, "But, people always want to go home."

Hearing the word home, the woman's expression changed, and she said in a deep voice, "Yunjing is not my home."

"Hey, I don't know where I can go when I leave Yunjing this time!" At this time, a lament came from the next table, "You said that the Princess Changning and the others will die, and something happened to the palace. I heard that it is Tianquan Villa. The owner of the Tianquan Villa rushed into the palace to kill the emperor and the queen mother... Then the owner of Changning County appeared and killed the owner of Tianquan Villa, but I heard that Prime Minister Xiao was still taken away. This Yunjing, it is true now I can't wait!"

"Where is Yunjing, I can't stay anymore. I don't think Dazhou can stay anymore! I think other countries that are eyeing Dazhou are probably ready to attack. Our Dazhou is like a withered tree, crumbling. , just waiting to be divided and scratched!"

The two were discussing vigorously, when suddenly a woman rushed over and grabbed one of them by the collar, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that! What does it mean that Princess Changning died! How could Princess Changning die!"

The man had already frowned tightly, but when he saw such a beautiful woman, his complexion became more beautiful in an instant. He smiled, and stretched out his hand to pull the woman's hand away, but the woman suddenly let go Hand, he retracted his hand in embarrassment, and said with a smile, "isn't the girl from Yunjing? A few days ago, there was a fire in Prince Jin's mansion, and the whole family of Princess Changning died. I heard that the corpses were all burnt to pieces, only the face is still a little better." A little bit, it can be recognized by people..."

When the woman heard this, she took a step back suddenly, her face turned pale in an instant, the man who was sitting there eating vegetables gave a hand, and glanced at the guard behind her, who quickly backed out.

Seeing the woman's pale face, the man quickly stood up, and asked with an earnest smile, "Miss, are you all right? Do you want me to persuade you to take a rest?"

As he was speaking, he was about to make a move on the woman. The man who was sitting there stood up and supported the woman. He glanced at the man indifferently and said in a deep voice, "I will take care of my wife. Thank you for your enthusiasm." What he said was words of thanks, but the tone of his voice was more penetrating than the cold snow in this winter.

The man shook his head embarrassingly, "You are welcome, you are welcome, brother is really lucky to have such a beautiful wife, you two are really talented and beautiful."

The man nodded lightly, then lowered his head and said to the weak woman, "If you don't feel well, let's book a room and take a rest."

The woman looked up at the man, but her eyes were full of tears. She shook her head and said, "Let's go to Beijing."

"No hurry." The man helped the woman sit down on the stool, poured a cup of hot tea for the woman, and said calmly, "I have already asked Lin Quan to inquire about the news, we will wait for Lin Feng to catch up before making a decision."
