Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 366 One hundred and sixty-five Hongmen

   Mrs. Xu was so nervous that she couldn't even utter a word. When she was shaking and putting on Xu Yonghong's clothes in person, she choked and called out to the master in a low voice, and her eyes immediately turned red.

   The complacency these days seemed to be just a dream. She looked at Xu Yonghong with her dizzy head, pursed her lips, and tried several times before opening her mouth: "How could this happen?"

   Clearly everything was planned well.

  The layout this time has already implicated various forces from Fujian and the Ministry of Punishment, and even the secret support of King Fenyang. Everything should have been carried out according to their plan, but why did everything suddenly change?

   She was ups and downs in her heart and there was no place to rest, as if stepping on the clouds, she would fall to pieces in the next moment.

  Xu Yonghong's expression is extremely serious. The more this time comes, the more sober his mind becomes. Compared with his wife's impatience at this time, he is much calmer.

Holding Madam Xu's hand, he lowered his voice and said, "Madam, now is not the time to ask why. It has already happened, then we can only take a step by step, don't worry, even if something happens to me, You and the children will be fine, I have already arranged it."

   But the more Xu Yonghong said that, the more panicked Mrs. Xu felt. She finally dropped her usual graceful mask and whimpered.

   The outside was already urging, and Cui Cheng reported with a bitter face: "Master Hou, Zhonggui in the palace has urged many times."

   Mr. Xu Er was also circling anxiously outside.

  Xu Yonghong squeezed his wife's hand and took the time to tell him: "Today I am going, no matter what the outcome is, you must persevere. Tongzhou and Tongji are still young and cannot be separated from you, do you understand?"

   Mrs. Xu went out to fight with Xu Yonghong, she quickly wiped away her tears, endured the headache and agreed: "Don't worry, I will persevere."

   Xu Yonghong patted her on the shoulder and went out with a flick of his sleeves.

  The sky is bright, the sun breaks through the clouds, and the radiance spreads all over the earth. There are raindrops from last night on the treetop flowers in the morning, which are crisp and lovely under the sunlight.

  But Mrs. Xu has no intention of looking at it anymore.

   She tried her best to drink a bowl of porridge under the persuasion of Xu's mother. She clenched her fists and refused to move. She just ordered Xu's mother and Li's mother: "Go and bring the two young masters."

   Both of them agreed to go in a low voice. After a while, Mrs. Xu hurried over. When she saw Mrs. Xu, she asked in shock, "Sister-in-law, I heard that uncle had an accident. What happened?"

   Feeling dizzy, Madam Xu waved her hand, a little impatient.

   She refused to speak, and Mrs. Xu Er could not continue to ask questions, so she could only anxiously stay by her side and wait for news.

   Instead, Mrs. Xu calmed down and asked Second Mrs. Xu if she heard what happened outside.

   Mrs. Xu Er was sighing, but she didn't hide it, she said after a short pause, "Sister-in-law, I heard that the clock tower has collapsed."

There is nothing strange about the collapse of the clock tower. Madam Xu was about to speak when she heard Second Madam Xu say: "I heard that Wei Tao directed and acted by himself. The foundation was dug up"

   Even Wei Tao was arrested! Madam Xu was panting and breathing hard, she almost fainted, and subconsciously clenched her clothes.

   Even Wei Tao was stared at and caught, that is to say.

   Their plan was really seen early, and the other party deliberately chose to kill Su An and Su Mingqing last night to make things worse.

   She remembered that Xu Yonghong entered the palace today, and finally couldn't hold it any longer, her mind suddenly went blank, and she lost consciousness immediately.

   The Xu family was busy, but few people were in the mood to pay attention.

There were too many things that happened last night. Everyone's attention was attracted by the murder case in the Yongding Mansion and the fire in the Huang Daxian Temple. Acquaintances get together to discuss what happened last night.

  Everyone knows that two people who should not have been in the capital died in the Uncle Yongding. Now there are different opinions, and there are guesses.

   But today, I didn't get to go to court. When Eunuch Xia came out and said that we were exempted from court today, everyone didn't react for a while.

   was also quick to see the opportunity, tutted, stroked his beard and shook his head.

   Lao Ping Guogong has stopped going to the court. Today, because he wanted to thank him, he also supported him. Hearing that he was free from the court, the old man stopped for a while, and then slowly walked out.

   Many people greeted him along the way, Lao Ping Guogong smiled and nodded, and only walked out for a while, suddenly heard someone shouting from behind, turned his head, and saw the fifth prince and a small servant walking towards him hurriedly.

   He frowned almost invisible, but he still stopped and saluted the fifth prince.

   The fifth prince hurriedly called for exemption, and said, "Why is my grandfather so polite?"

   "Between monarchs and ministers, etiquette must not be abolished." Lao Ping Guogong refused to overstep at all. After bowing, he asked, "I don't know why His Highness is looking for the old minister?"

   The fifth prince followed Qiqi Ai and said tentatively, "Grandfather, I heard that the reason why the royal father was exempted from the court meeting today was because of the matter of the clock tower last night."

   Lao Ping's face immediately became solemn, and he said righteously: "Your Highness is careful! What does the sage think, this is the matter of the sage. I am waiting to be a minister, and I must not spy on the power of heaven."

   The fifth prince was unable to ask anything he wanted to ask, and was blocked by the old Ping Guogong with a few words. He couldn't help but feel a little sullen, and went to the Fengzao Palace of Concubine Pang Gui.

   Concubine Pang Gui didn't have time to pay attention to him. After finishing the palace affairs, she took a sip of tea, turned her head to look at her son who had been sitting for a long time, and clicked: "What's wrong? Who messed with you?"

   The fifth prince couldn't help but snorted and said indignantly: "Mother, why are you hiding everything from me?!"

Concubine Pang Gui raised her eyebrows, then looked at the fifth prince, and heard the fifth prince say: "Last night, something big happened. Today, the father called the Marquis of Anning to enter the palace, and Luo Yong also entered the palace before that. Luo Yong is a grandfather. It's impossible for my grandfather to not know what happened, but I asked my grandfather, and my grandfather just perfunctory me"

"Nonsense!" Concubine Pang Gui couldn't help but scolded angrily, and said: "Who is it? Who is Luo Yong? He is your father's person, you can't even tell this, even if there is What's the matter, how can I tell you?"

   The fifth prince was a little stunned. Hearing his mother say that, he couldn't react for a while, and when he reacted, he felt a little aggrieved.
