Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 264 Lan Yao is coming back
In the Zhao Kingdom Palace, the emperor in Ming Dynasty uniform sat high on the dragon throne, and the ministers below were talking about recent events.The emperor just listened quietly and did not participate.

When the people below spoke less violently, the emperor said, "My dearest ministers, I have something to say."

Immediately, the hall became quiet, and everyone looked at the emperor in unison, only to see the emperor sighed, seemed a little uncomfortable, rubbed his temples, and then continued: "When I wanted to come to Qiuhun, I suddenly had Leaving in a hurry, all the lovers are also very curious about what happened, right?"

Some ministers who knew what had happened suddenly raised their hearts. The emperor said, could it be that Qi Guo really took Chen Zhi away?So now the emperor has the idea of ​​attacking Qi State?

Although these people knew about this matter, none of them dared to express their opinions. They could only lower their heads to hear what the emperor would say next.

"Actually, at that time, something happened in the imperial palace. Do you remember the proton from Qi Guo?" The emperor continued to live up to everyone's expectations.

Some people who didn't know what happened, thought about it, and remembered that there was indeed a proton from Qi State several years ago, so they said: "Go back to the emperor, I remember, the prince seems to be called Chen Zhi, right?"

When someone thought of it, someone thought one after another: "Oh, Prince Chen, is that the one who has been making a fuss about it with the eldest lady of Fuguo's family recently?"

Someone deliberately mentioned the matter of Chen Zhi and Lan Yao, which made Fu Guogong look at that person with disgust, and that person didn't continue to say anything.

"That's right, something happened to him, and Chen Zhi disappeared!" Hearing that someone remembered, the emperor continued to tell the story.

"What? How could it have disappeared? Your Majesty, although Chen Zhi said he was a proton, he is still the prince of Qi State anyway, and now he has disappeared in our Zhao State. What if Qi State finds out?" Some people were worried. road.

"Your Majesty, have you ever found out why Prince Chen disappeared?" someone asked.

The emperor rubbed his temples again, and he knew that if this matter was revealed, there would definitely be a big disturbance, but this kind of matter cannot be ignored.

"I originally suspected that someone from Qi State had secretly picked up Prince Chen, but I sent people to Qi State to check, and Prince Chen did not return to Qi State." The emperor told the result.

The minister who knew about this from the beginning was relieved that it was not the Qi State who picked it up. As long as someone from Qi State did not pick it up, the emperor would have no reason to declare war on Qi State. The emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, so naturally he would not understand The pain of war.

In every war, at least hundreds of thousands of people died, and at most tens of thousands of people died. So many lives, no one hoped that they would be lost because of the emperor's selfishness.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now? Prince Chen is gone, and when Qi Guo asks us for someone, what should we do?" someone asked.

"That's what I want to ask you." The emperor seemed very unhappy, how could there be such a fool?Telling the matter by myself is to let them relieve my worries. That person is fine, but asks himself what to do.

Someone saw the emperor's displeased expression, thought for a while, took a step forward, and said, "Your Majesty, since Prince Chen is gone, and there are still a few months before Prince Chen's return, we will try our best to look for it during this time." If, at that time, you still can't find Prince Chen, you can insist that someone from Qi Guo came to pick up Prince Chen, and then you can say that they didn't follow the rules and ask them to give some compensation."

"Your Majesty, no, we don't know exactly what's going on with this matter. If we insist that it was Qi Guo who picked up Prince Chen, but Qi Guo doesn't have such a person, what should we do?" Someone objected. .

The person before said again: "Your Excellency is wrong, even if there is no Prince Chen, we can also say that Qi State hid him, Qi State is not as strong as my Zhao State, so naturally we can only suffer from this loss." .”

After hearing this, the emperor also thought it was a good idea, so he said: "What Ai Qing said is true, it is indeed Qi Guo's fault."

When everyone heard it, they all understood what the emperor meant, so no one said anything, they continued to discuss the previous matter, and then dispersed.

In the study room of Duke Fu's mansion, Duke Fu was sitting in front of the desk, and several young men stood opposite Duke Fu.

These people are all Lan Yao's cousins, and they are the best among them. Duke Fu pondered for a while and then said: "Do you think Yaoyao can go home?"

Lan Zixu said, "Grandpa, Zixu thinks that since Prince Chen is no longer in Zhao, Cousin Yaoyao can naturally come back."

Others also ordered to cooperate one after another.

Fu Guogong thought about it and still felt that he should come back after a while, otherwise, as soon as Lan Yao left, Chen Zhi would disappear, and as soon as Chen Zhi left, Lan Yao would come back. It is inevitable that the emperor would not doubt anything, although Fu The Duke's Mansion didn't do anything, but how could Duke Fu not know that being with you is like accompanying a tiger.

"Let's wait for a while, and it will be the Chinese New Year in a while, and then it will be a reason to bring Yaoyao back. It will also prevent anyone from suspecting my Fuguo Palace." Fuguogong said.

The juniors below are all transparent. When Fu Guogong said this, everyone understood what it meant, so they didn't say anything. Anyway, all of this must be done according to Fu Guogong's meaning.

Half a month later, in the Yangzhou manor, a girl hurried to Lan Yao's room with a letter in her hand. The weather was already very cold, and Lan Yao didn't dare to stay by the lake any longer.

"Miss, miss, a letter from home." The girl looked very happy, and handed the letter to Lan Yao: "Miss, I heard someone said that the master asked us to go back! Isn't it?"

Lan Yao unwrapped the letter unhurriedly, shook the paper casually, and then read it slowly. The letter said that the rumors in the capital were no longer spread, so Lan Yao could rest assured. She is willing to let Lan Yao celebrate the New Year alone, so she can go home soon after.

Lan Yao was not as happy as the little girl, she couldn't help being a little curious, the rumors were obviously intentional, how could it be possible for her to disappear after a month or two?
Could it be that something happened in Beijing that I didn't know about?Or has the person behind the rumors been caught?

"Pack up your things, we'll go back tomorrow morning." Lan Yao raised a smiling face, looked at the little girl and said.No matter what happened, Lan Yao felt that she had to go back first.

As soon as the little girl heard it, she knew that she could really go back, and went to pack her things excitedly.

Lan Yao watched the little girl leave, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she lay on the table with her hands on her face, meditating.
