Chapter 357 Decision

 The King of Qin twitched his lips. The little girl was very accurate in judging people, and the wise king had been shrewd since he was a child.

From an early age, a wise king will be able to observe people's words and emotions, steer the ship according to the wind, and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

 I remember one time, he accompanied the Xian Wang to see the emperor. In front of his father, the Xian Wang expressed his love for him vividly and expressed his gratitude to his father for allowing him to be his companion, so that he could have a good teacher and a helpful friend.

On the same day, they came out of Qianqing Palace and went to Yongning Palace to pay their respects to Concubine De. They happened to meet Mrs. Yang who was also in Yongning Palace.

The wise king treated him as if he were a different person. The disgust on his face and the disgust in his eyes were still fresh in his memory to this day.

 The changes before and after The Wise King gave him a practical understanding that turning a page is like turning a book.

How old was the wise king at that time? Not even eight years old.

For this reason, he was depressed for many days, so much so that he did not prepare a birthday gift for the wise king on his eighth birthday.

 As a result, the wise king was very upset with him because of the birthday ceremony...

"Qingyan, what are you thinking about?" Hua Yanran asked when she saw King Qin was lost in thought.

King Qin came back to his senses, smiled and said, "Nothing, I just remembered something small. I will go to Qiwan Lane later, will you go?"

Hua Yanran raised her head and looked at King Qin. She wanted to nod, but when she saw the worry in King Qin's eyes, she changed her words and said, "Su Er and Liu Guang are going, but I won't go. Don't worry."

King Qin felt relieved when he heard Hua Yanran say that he would not go. "You really don't need me to send people? These people killed people at the celebration, and I have the authority to dispatch people from the Lin Army to arrest them."

Hua Yanran shook her head and said angrily: "There is no direct evidence to beat them to death. If they are captured, they have to be released. I will kill them directly to avenge Chaoyang and cut off the British Duke's claws."

King Qin knew that Hua Yanran was holding fire in her heart. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll stay with you tonight."

"No, you didn't sleep last night, right? You must sleep tonight. Tomorrow is a good day for Mr. Ye's wedding, and you still have a lot to do. It's getting late, so go back home early! "

Hua Yanran didn’t want King Qin to interfere, so she urged him to leave.

Hua Yanran pushed King Qin away as she spoke.

King Qin said as he walked: "If I'm sleepy, I can just fall down and sleep."

"You won't be able to sleep well like that. Su Er and the others are very experienced and won't make mistakes. Don't worry, you can go back and rest. There is no chance that the emperor will come to such an occasion tomorrow, and you will have to stay with him. If you accompany the emperor, Dozing off is disrespectful."

King Qin was thinking about what his father told him that he would visit Duke Chengguo's mansion tomorrow. He was really afraid that he fell asleep while riding with him. He had been busy all night yesterday and could not stay up any longer today.

"Okay, I'll go back and rest, and you promise me not to go to the north of the city at night." King Qin warned again.

Hua Yanran nodded and promised, "I won't go, I really won't go."

Hua Yanran sent King Qin out of the princess' mansion.

When King Qin got into the car, he worried and warned again: "Xiaoyu, you promised me not to go!"

Hua Yanran repeatedly promised: "Don't worry, I won't go."

 King Qin looked at Aunt Wang on the side and said, "You heard it, please don't let your princess go to the action at night."

Wang Gu bowed and responded: "Your Majesty, please don't worry, I've written it down."

King Qin looked at Hua Yanran and asked, "When will you go to the Chengguo Palace tomorrow? Can you come here early? I'll wait for you at the Chengguo Palace."

“It’s too late, Yamei said, I am a relative of the woman and I have to come with the procession of sending her bride.”

"Okay. I understand. By the way, I don't have to go to court tomorrow. Let Qingyu come over early in the morning and tell me the results tonight."

Hua Yanran nodded, "Okay!"

 “Then I’m going back.”

Hua Yanran saw King Qin dilly-dallying, so she stepped forward and lifted the curtain for King Qin, "Let's see you tomorrow!"

King Qin smiled bitterly and said, "Are you so anxious to drive me away?"

Hua Yanran coaxed: "If you don't get a good rest, I'll be worried. I'll go back and have a rest and have a good sleep."

King Qin pursed his lips and said, "Okay, then I'll go back first."

 After seeing King Qin off, Hua Yanran walked back with Aunt Wang.

Hua Yanran asked: "Are you all ready?"

Seeing Hua Yanran's expression, Wang Gu knew that her master wanted to change her mind again, so she replied: "Ready, didn't the princess promise the prince not to go? The princess must keep her word and cannot break her promise."

"I don't want to go because I don't feel at ease. I'd better go." Hua Yanran said.

Wang Gu said calmly: "Then I will tell King Qin tomorrow that the princess did not keep her promise and went anyway."

Hua Yanran glared at Aunt Wang, "Aunt Wang, why are you doing this? I am the head of your family."

Wang Qin smiled and said, "I told the truth, and I didn't tell any lies."

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, okay? Do you still have the sweat medicine I gave you last time?"

Wang Qin shook his head, "No, last time Han Shi, Ruan Wu and others went hunting and wanted to test the power of the medicine, so I gave it to Han Shi."

Hua Yanran looked at Wang Qin speechlessly, and asked after a while: "They took the Mongolian sweat medicine to hunt?"

Wang Qin didn't dare to look at Hua Yanran, lowered her head and continued walking forward, "It's not like the princess doesn't know about Han Shi. He has a childlike innocence and is extremely curious about everything.

He has been coveting the princess's Mongolian sweat medicine for a long time. He didn't dare to ask for it from the princess, and he didn't know who told him that I had the Mongolian sweat medicine here, so he kept pestering me day by day. I couldn't stand it, so I had to give it to him. . "

Hua Yanran said: "How dare they eat the prey that was knocked down with sweat medicine?"

Wang Qin replied: "How can they dare to eat it? They come back and say that the medicine is good medicine, but they dare not eat it after hunting. It is too wasteful."

Hua Yanran said angrily: "He still knows how to waste! Come with me and get some medicine and silver needles, just in case."

"yes!"

Wang Qin went with Hua Yanran to Fu'an Garden to get medicine.

Wang Qin just took the medicine and went out, and bumped into Lonicera hurriedly entering the door, knocking Wang Qin back.

Hua Yanran turned to look at Lonicera and asked, "What's wrong? What happened? Why are you in such a panic?"

 Landong bowed his knees apologetically towards Wang Qin, and then replied: "Princess, Second Young Master Li wants to see you."

Hua Yanran raised her hand and looked at the time. At the end of the day, Li Tao came to visit at this hour. There must be urgent matters, and the urgent matter now concerns Feng Guangsheng's family.

Thinking of this, Hua Yanran immediately stepped out and asked as she walked: "Where is the person? Where is he?"

 “In the living room!” Liandong followed him out.

Hua Yanran turned to Wang Qin and said, "Aunt Wang, let Qing Yu go and chase the prince back."

Wang Qin got the order and hurried to find Qing Yu.

Hua Yanran went to the living room. After entering and greeting each other, Hua Yanran asked, "Why are you here?"

“What happened to the maid in your house?” Li Tao asked at the same time.

Hua Yanran nodded, "Yes, the morning sun is gone."

"Chaoyang, Hongxia, one of the pair of maids following you in Hongcheng?"

 Hua Yanran nodded again.

“Who is the other party? Why did they attack Chaoyang?”

Hua Yanran replied: "Their target was me. They mistakenly thought Chaoyang was me. Chaoyang died for me."

Li Tao asked: "Do you know who the other party is?"

"I know roughly, but I have no evidence. Why did you come here to find me about this at night?"

After hearing what Hua Yanran said, Li Tao pouted dissatisfiedly, "What? Can't I care about you? Do you think I'm annoying?"

“That’s it, thank you for your concern. From the look of you, you don’t look like someone who has made a special trip to express your concern. Tell me, is there anything else?”

Li Tao smiled and said: "I really can't hide anything from you. I went to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to find the prince, and he said that he was still in the Yamen.

 I went to the Ministry of Punishment and was told that the prince had left. Ask someone to inquire and find out that the prince is here.

 I chased him, but it turned out that the prince had left. I came in to ask for a drink of tea and a casual care, and then went to chase the prince. "

Hua Yanran sat down on the chair, with a look that I knew was like this, and said with a smile but not a smile: "I heard that you were coming, so I came out to see you in a hurry.

 It turns out it was just a drop-in of concern, but thank you anyway.

Since you have something to tell the prince, I won’t keep you here. You’ll go slowly and won’t see you off. "

Li Tao tilted his head and looked at Hua Yanran, and asked tentatively: "What? Are you angry?"

Hua Yanran raised her chin slightly and glanced sideways at Li Tao.

Li Tao met Hua Yanran's small eyes, scratched his head and said with a smile: "No, I planned to tell you slowly when I go to Shi Mansion tomorrow morning. That's what happened..."

 “Princess, the prince is here.” Lonicera announced at the door.

Hua Yanran and Li Tao stood up to greet them.

When King Qin saw Li Tao, he had an idea in his mind. After entering the room and taking a seat, he looked at Li Tao and asked, "What? Do you have a letter?"

Li Tao nodded and said: "In the evening the day before yesterday, the eyeliner came over with a letter. He said that he saw Feng Guangsheng's eldest son, Feng Xinguang, at Jinghu Villa in the northern suburbs. He came back to report it. I asked them to continue to keep an eye on them. They were in the northern suburbs. After squatting for two days, I saw Feng Guangsheng sending a Maoshan Taoist priest out of Zhuangzi today. The spy confirmed that Feng Guangsheng's family is in Jinghu Villa in the northern suburbs. There is no doubt about it. "

Li Tao of the Qin Dynasty handed over his hand: "Thank you very much. Feng Guangsheng's family is connected to the Su family case at one end and the Wang Xiang Mansion and the Hua Mansion at the other end. If you pull out the radish and bring out the mud, there will definitely be many things happening next. I'll go back and sort it out. I'll give it to my father and let him make his decision."

 King Qin looked at Hua Yanran and said.

Hua Yanran saw King Qin looking at her and understood what he meant. After a moment of hesitation, he nodded in agreement: "Okay! I will put the overall situation first and wait for the emperor to make a decision."

If she attacks the Duke of England tonight, it will definitely alarm the Duke of England, the Prime Minister and Hua Ruijun. The King of Qin asked her to stay calm first and not to alert the enemy.

Seeing Hua Yanran agree, King Qin stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's go back."

Li Tao stood up and said goodbye.

 After seeing off King Qin and Li Tao, Hua Yanran said to Wang Gu and Su Er: "Let everyone go and have a rest. Tonight's action is cancelled."

 After the morning court was dismissed on the second day, the emperor drove to the Chengguo Duke's Mansion to congratulate him.

The Duke Chengguo's Mansion received a letter two days ago. The Emperor will come to the mansion today to express his congratulations. The Mansion made arrangements for the reception two days ago.

After receiving the message from the chamberlain, the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion hurriedly made arrangements for the reception. King Qin led everyone in the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion to welcome him outside the gate early.

 After the emperor arrived, he was welcomed into the upper hall. Mrs. Qin, Ye Cheng and everyone in the Ye family bowed to the emperor.

The emperor spoke first and said: "Today is a happy day for the family. Old madam, Ye Aiqing, you don't have to be formal. You can all go down to entertain the guests. Just let Qingyan stay with me."

Mrs. Qin and Ye Cheng retreated.

The emperor looked at Eunuch Gao and waved his hand towards Eunuch Gao.

Eunuch Gao decided to come over and bring out the palace maid.

The emperor asked: "Is that girl Yanran okay? Has she come to the palace?"

King Qin leaned forward and said, "When I returned to my father, Yan Ran was fine. The person who died was an eldest maid beside her. She felt a little guilty and blamed herself."

The emperor nodded and said: "Then the maid has been following Yanran for a few days, right? We are not grass and trees, and it is normal to be sad. Have you found out who did it?"

"Yes, after some time, Yanran will feel better. Yanran said that it was the British public who did it, but there is insufficient evidence."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "The people around her are quite efficient in their work. They were able to find out the person in a short time. What are Yanran's plans?"

King Qin said bluntly: "She wanted to deal with those dead soldiers and avenge the maid."

The emperor sipped his tea and said: "It's a pity to deal with it. I will leave this matter to you later and send it to the mines to do coolies."

King Qin bowed and said, "Thank you, father. I understand. By the way, father, there has been progress in the matter between the young lady of Sunan Yinlou and the great scholar Wang Houzhe and Wang."

The emperor looked at King Qin and motioned for him to continue.

 The King of Qin stated the whole story to the emperor.

After hearing this, the emperor's face became serious. He stood up with a bang and said, "Follow me back to the palace."

The emperor has been waiting for this day for twenty years. Because his eldest son was living abroad, he did not dare to act rashly. Now that he has a clue, he will no longer let anyone with ulterior motives get away with it.

  King Qin understood that his father had made a decision in his heart and would take drastic action next. His father was worried about his safety and was worried about leaving him outside.

 The King of Qin bowed his head and said, "My son, I obey the order."

   People from Chengguo Palace learned that the emperor was returning to the palace, and they hurried over to see him off.

 The front yard of Duke Chengguo's Mansion is wide. At this time, the wide yard is full of people kneeling.

The emperor looked at the people who were kneeling all over the place and said: "Today is a great day for the Chengguo Palace. It is a good day for Ming Hao's wedding. I wish Ming Hao and the third wife of the Shi family a happy marriage for a hundred years. I leave you here. Come down, everyone is restrained, I will drive back to the palace, the old lady does not need to see me off, just let Qingyan see me off. "

  Everybody gives thanks.

The emperor went up to Longchu, and King Qin followed him on horseback.

The emperor ordered Eunuch Gao: "Let Fan Wei, Kong Baozhao, Ruan Jinsong, and Zhang Qingyun come to see me."

Eunuch Gao leaned forward to receive the order, turned around and ordered to go down. The servants around him left the team one by one and ran to various places.

The emperor returned to the palace, and Fan Tong, the imperial guard, took the lead to the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor ordered Commander Fan to lead his men to capture everyone in Wang Xiangfu, Shangguanfu, Huafu, Hua Ruijun's residence on Baokangmen Back Street, and Lu Chao's residence on Qiwan Street in the north of the city, and send them to the sky prison one by one. "

 Commander Fan took the order and exited the imperial study.

King Qin hurriedly reminded: "Commander Fan, the assassin who assassinated the maid of the Princess's Mansion yesterday is near Qiwan Lane. Let the people from the Princess's Mansion lead the way for you."

Fan Wei bowed to the King of Qin and said, "Thank you very much, King Qin for your advice.
