Chapter 253 The prince returns to Beijing!
Chu Huaixu looked at Yuwen Cheng after hearing this, "News from our father will arrive tonight."
This place is not far from the capital.
If we send a secret letter by carrier pigeon, we will receive the news tonight at the latest.
Yuwen Cheng also wanted to ask, would the emperor’s opinion be the same as that of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
But the words came to my lips but I didn't say them.
It’s not that I don’t dare to say it, but that there is no need to say it.
Whatever His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks, that’s the Emperor’s opinion too. There’s nothing to ask.
At night, the pigeon came back as expected.
What the emperor meant was that this matter should be left to Chu Huaixu to handle with full authority.
The meaning of Chu Huai Xu is the emperor's meaning.
The next day, the Fu family was raided, and Governor Fu and his two sons were all taken to the execution ground.
Over the years, not only did Governor Fu commit many evil deeds, but his two sons also colluded with him to do evil and killed countless people.
These two little beasts bully men and women. After having enough fun, they treat these women as secret prostitutes to make money.
Even if such a person is beheaded a hundred times, it will not be enough to appease the public anger.
Mrs. Fu went to the execution ground despite Fu Wan'er's obstruction and witnessed the beheading of the father and his two sons with her own eyes.
Mrs. Fu fainted from excitement.
Fu Wan'er finally sent her home and took care of her for half a day, but that night, Mrs. Fu hanged herself.
In one day, Fu Wan'er lost her parents and brothers and became a lonely person.
Now that the Fu family is gone, I don’t know how many people cheered for the welder.
But in addition to cheers and gratitude, someone also mentioned Fu Wan'er.
What he said was that as the daughter of the Fu family, Fu Wan'er had been spoiled for so many years, and every penny she spent was stained with the blood and sweat of the common people.
Now that everyone else in the Fu family is dead, Fu Wan'er should pay the price she deserves.
Even though Fu Wan'er had taken out all the private property of the Fu family, her mother's dowry, and her own dowry to compensate those who were injured, still no one said a word of goodness, and they just wanted her to die quickly.
Yu Youning looked at Fu Wan'er and said, "Beautiful sister, don't stay here. Find another place to live!"
Fu Wan'er had a sad expression and smiled silently, "Where else can I go?"
“There are so many places to go!”
Fu Wan'er shook her head. "For someone like me, what's the point of living? They're right. Although I didn't know about these things and I didn't participate in them, I enjoyed them. The luxurious clothes and delicious food I've had over the years were all the blood and tears of others..."
"But even if you die, will that erase the guilt in your heart?" Yu Youning asked back, "If you really feel guilty, there are many things you can do!"
"What can I do?"
"There are many people in this world who need help. Whether it's providing financial assistance, helping them learn to read and write, or even opening a charity to adopt homeless orphans, wouldn't that make up for the guilt you feel?"
Yu Youning's voice was not loud, and it had a milky sound.
But these words she said made Fu Wan'er stunned, "Can I really do this?"
"As long as you want, you can!" Yu Youning smiled brightly. "How about you come with us to the capital first? Let's go to the charity hall in the capital to help out first. I often go to a charity hall to treat the children there. There are many girls in the charity hall. You can teach them embroidery and also teach them to read and learn. It's definitely better than you dying. What do you think?"
"I've never thought about it before..." Fu Wan'er was still a little dazed, "But after hearing what you said, I think I should give it a try!"
Hearing Fu Wan's words, Yu Youning's smile became even brighter. "That's great. Let's go back to the capital together tomorrow!"
Fu Wan'er nodded vigorously this time, "Okay!"
While the two of them were chatting, Yu Tingwan and others just sat aside and listened quietly without making any noise to disturb them.
Seeing Yu Youning laughing so happily, Yu Tingwan also laughed.
Her Youning is truly the kindest child in the world.
Not only can he beat up bad guys, he is also very thoughtful and can use different methods to persuade different people.
Just like now, Youning not only saved Fu Wan'er's life, but also helped Fu Wan'er find the motivation to live.
As soon as Yu Youning turned around, she saw Yu Tingwan staring at her intently. She immediately tilted her head, "Mom, why are you staring at me?"
"I'm looking at how Youning is so nice and cute."
Yu Youning held her face in her hands and said, "That's because of my mother!"
When these words were spoken, everyone present laughed.
Even Fu Wan'er started laughing, with a hint of envy in her eyes.
It’s great to have a daughter like this!
-
Capital city, imperial palace.
The Queen was in the Prince's bedroom, directing the palace servants to work.
"Wipe the entire bedroom three times inside and out, place the Crown Prince's favorite books, and prepare the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone."
"Change that ornament. It's spring now, and this one isn't suitable anymore. Get something lighter."
"The screens on the windows look old. Take them down and replace them all with new ones..."
When the emperor came over, before he even got close, he could already hear the queen's orders one after another.
When he got closer, he saw sweat on the queen's forehead and nose.
"The Queen."
The emperor shouted and walked towards the queen.
"Your Highness!" The Queen bowed.
But before he could squat down, he was pulled up by the emperor.
The emperor held the queen's hand tightly and comforted her with a smile.
"Xu'er won't arrive for another two days. Queen, there's no need to worry. He will definitely make it in time."
The Queen shook her head. "I'm always worried that I'm not well prepared... This is my son's first time traveling far away, and not only has he been away for such a long time, but he's also been injured... Just thinking about it makes me feel uneasy."
The emperor held the empress in his arms and said, "Don't worry, Queen. It will only benefit Xu'er if he goes out for a walk more often. Even though he was injured this time, with Youning and Chu Huaishan by his side, nothing will happen. They are more skilled than the imperial physicians in the palace!"
"I know... but I'm still uneasy." The Queen said, and she laughed. "But now it's good. I'm finally coming back. After I come back this time, I shouldn't go out again, right?"
The emperor had no way to answer this question.
Whether Chu Huaixu will go out again depends mainly on whether Yu Youning will run around.
I’m afraid it will be difficult for that little girl Yu Youning to stay in the capital forever!
The emperor did not answer, but no answer was the best answer.
Just by seeing the emperor like this, the queen knew that Chu Huaixu would definitely have another trip.
Even just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable.
But she also knew that she couldn't stop it.
Taking a deep breath, the Queen laughed to herself, "This is just unnecessary worry. He hasn't come back yet, and I'm worried that he might leave again. Let's focus on the present first!"
Seeing that the queen had figured it out, the emperor also laughed, "My queen is indeed very understanding!"
The queen then looked carefully at the emperor's face and saw that his brows were slightly frowned.
The two have been married for many years and know each other very well.
Just by looking at the emperor like this, the queen knew that he must have encountered something troubling. She pulled the emperor to the couch by the window and sat him down. She handed him a cup of tea and then asked softly, "Your Majesty, what happened? Why don't you tell me about it? Although I may not be able to share your worries, it will help your heart to feel a little relieved if you tell me what's bothering you."
The emperor sighed, "News has come from Xiliang that their crown princess will be coming to the capital soon."
"Crown Princess?" The Queen also frowned. "Is that the former Lin Ruoli?"
"yes."
The Queen's face was filled with emotion. "Who would have thought that the fake daughter of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion was actually a descendant of the Xiliang royal family!"
Hearing this, the emperor also laughed, "Exactly! I don't know what happened to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. Their real daughter was lost and was adopted by the owner of Penglai Island. She even gave birth to a granddaughter like that.
The fake daughter he raised was actually of the royal family of Xiliang, and the daughter he gave birth to was even canonized as the Crown Princess of Xiliang."
The Empress was amused. "The Emperor can also be so mischievous. His two daughters and two granddaughters are no ordinary people. If one had been saved, the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion wouldn't have fallen into this state. But unfortunately, neither of his daughters was saved. The Yong'an Marquis himself is in prison, and Madam Lin is still unable to stand up. But I heard that the unlearned Lin Yu has become much more mature and stable now, and is managing the manor well."
"This is probably the case of losing something and gaining something!" The emperor sighed, "That Lin Ruoli... Tuoba Ruoli, must have come for her parents. When the time comes, will they release her or not..."
The emperor was really worried. When he said this, he pinched his eyebrows hard.
The queen was about to say a few words of comfort when she saw eunuch Wang running in from outside, panting.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty the Queen!"
Looking at the sweaty eunuch Wang, the emperor frowned, "What's the matter? Is it worth making such a fuss?"
Eunuch Wang swallowed hard, finally steadying his breathing. He then hurriedly said, "Crown Prince! His Royal Highness is back! He's already entered the capital! He's on his way to the palace!"
"What?"
"What!"
The emperor and the empress were both shocked and stood up at the same time.
The Queen was very excited. "Hurry, I will go to the palace gate to welcome you!"
Before he could finish his words, he hurried out.
The emperor followed closely behind, not forgetting to ask Eunuch Wang, "Didn't you say you would enter the capital in two days? How come you're so early? What happened?"
"In reply to the emperor, according to the news from Lord Yuwen, nothing has happened. It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is eager to return home, so he has accelerated his journey, traveling day and night..."
