Weiyang Palace.
Emperor Feng has now changed into plain clothes.
White lanterns were hung throughout the palace.
Including the ministers, everyone only wore plain clothes.
They looked at each other, all very sad.
Although Ning Que had offended many, he was still the prince of Dafeng. With him at court, there was no need to worry too much about danger. Just like the fence-sitter Cao Du, he and Ning Que had some grudges. But now that Ning Que had died in battle, he cried bitterly.
After all, Ning Que's status and position are there.
Maybe they don't like each other.
But they have no substantial conflict of interest.
Now that Ning Que is gone, what will happen to Dafeng in the future?
All these things need to be taken into consideration.
"Master Bu." Emperor Feng also looked extremely tired at this moment. He looked at Bu Suanzi and said softly, "Xiao Ning and I can be considered brothers. You are Xiao Ning's master and Qing He's father. Now that they have both met with misfortune, I will be your apprentice from now on. Xiao Ning once told me that he was most worried about you. He said that you were old and that it would be very inconvenient for you to stay in Kunlun Mountain. If you could stay in Chang'an City, it would naturally be best."
Bu Suanzi slowly stood up.
This is simply nonsense from the Emperor.
Anyway, Ning Que is not here now, so who can prove it?
Kunlun Mountain did have its share of inconveniences, but he had lived there for twenty or thirty years and had long since grown accustomed to them. To him, Kunlun Mountain was his home. Ning Que never demanded anything from Bu Suanzi, but instead respected his choices. Since Bu Suanzi was unwilling to leave the mountain, he would send someone to deliver the necessary supplies.
"Thank you for your care, Emperor Feng."
"But I got used to it a long time ago."
"There are too many people in Chang'an City, and I am not used to it."
"Staying in Chang'an, I will think about many things that happened before."
Emperor Feng raised his eyebrows.
Naturally, I heard it too.
But he was not in a hurry, he just sighed.
"Since that's the case, I won't force you to stay. From now on, if you need anything, you can send someone to Chang'an City. Also, Qinghe was attacked and killed this time. It's obvious that it was an enemy seeking revenge, most likely the remnants of the Tian family. I'm worried that if you return to Kunlun Mountain, you'll be targeted. How about this, I send some Yulin troops to Kunlun Mountain."
"Pavilion Master, please don't refuse yet. I will let them guard the foot of the mountain and will never interfere with you or the Shenji Pavilion. It's just that to Xiaoning and Qinghe, you are their dearest relative. Now that they have sacrificed their lives for the country, I naturally have to show my gratitude. If anything happens to you, I really don't know how to explain it to them."
Bu Suanzi knew it all in his heart.
This is all under the emperor's jurisdiction.
It was simply a shift from covert surveillance to overt overt surveillance. Just as Ning Que had said before leaving, Emperor Feng was quite intelligent, and his greatest skill was in political schemes. There was nothing wrong with his words, and the ministers were all impressed by the deep bond between Emperor Feng and Ning Que.
If Bu Suanzi agrees, the Yulin Army will march on Kunlun Mountain en masse. They don't need a large force; a thousand or eight hundred will suffice. From now on, anyone wishing to ascend Kunlun Mountain will need their permission. Any movement by the Shenji Pavilion will be under the Emperor's scrutiny.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"But, forget it."
"Why?"
Bu Suanzi walked out slowly, raised his hand and said, "The Divine Machine Pavilion has always been neutral and independent of all forces. Moreover, Kunlun Mountain also has natural defenses and many masters. If they come to seek revenge, I will personally take revenge. However, if the Yulin Army moves in, it will cause some misunderstandings and harm many disciples."
"The Pavilion Master is overthinking."
"Please don't mention it again, Your Majesty."
Bu Suanzi's attitude was also quite firm.
There's nothing wrong with what he said.
After all, many disciples of Shenji Pavilion are scattered all over the place.
What would others think if the Yulin Army moved in?
Have all these disciples defected to Dafeng?
Are you here as an undercover agent?
"Forget it..." Emperor Feng didn't insist any further and waved his hand, saying, "Since that's the case, I won't say any more. However, since it's inconvenient for you to live in the mountains, I will send some maids to take care of you. Please don't refuse, after all, this is also my sincere gesture. If Xiao Ning were still alive, I'm sure she would agree."
Bu Suanzi frowned.
He felt all the eyes on him.
In the end, I had no choice but to nod.
The emperor had said so much, so he couldn't refuse. Otherwise, it would inevitably arouse their suspicion. Ning Que and his men hadn't arrived in Lingnan yet, so they needed more time to prepare. Besides, they were just maids, so getting rid of them wouldn't be difficult.
"Speaking of which, where is the Miraculous Doctor Chang Baicao?"
"He was heartbroken by the death of the old Prince Ning and Qinghe, and he was unwilling to return to Chang'an. Now he is traveling around as a traveling doctor."
"Alas..." Emperor Feng sighed softly and shook his head, "The Empress Dowager has been seriously ill these past few days. I was thinking of asking him to go and see her, but now..."
Bu Suanzi seemed to be lost in thought at this moment, and whispered, "I knew some medical skills when I was young. Why don't I take a look at the Queen Mother?"
He had heard about the Queen Mother.
It is said that he has been seriously ill since Ning Que's death.
She is currently living in the deep palace and has not appeared in public for a long time.
Ning Que speculated that the Empress Dowager was most likely under house arrest. She was the only person who knew the truth, but her status meant that even Emperor Feng couldn't take action. Perhaps it was because Emperor Feng still had some humanity left, or perhaps he wanted to use her as a hostage.
If their suspicions were true, then the Queen Mother was Ning Que's biological mother. As long as Emperor Feng could control the Queen Mother, he would hold the trump card.
"That's all."
"The Queen Mother's main problem is her heart."
"She loved Xiao Ning the most, but Xiao Ning died in the battle."
"When I heard the news of Xiao Ning's death, I cried for days and even vomited blood. Now that I have finally recovered a little, I dare not tell her the news of Qing He's death."
Fengdi is a cautious and cunning person.
He wouldn't kill easily with such a useful trump card.
Now that Bu Suanzi has been rejected, this is even more likely.
"How long does Pavilion Master plan to stay in Chang'an?"
Wang Wu came out and asked at this time.
Bu Suanzi glanced at him and sighed, "After they are laid to rest, it's time to go back. A year ago, I was in Chang'an to attend their wedding. I never thought that we would be separated forever, and the old man would have to send the young one off..."
Sima Changqing and others stood up to comfort them.
There was only sadness in the Weiyang Palace.
As Bu Suanzi said, the ups and downs of life are too fast. Thinking of the excitement of the wedding at that time, many ministers lowered their heads and sighed.
Emperor Feng did not host a banquet for them. In the end, he simply waved his hand and let them go. Before they left, he instructed General Hu to treat Bu Suanzi well. As for the three guards of Prince Ning who returned victorious, they should also be rewarded generously and not be treated unfairly.
Then, he moved to Yongning Palace!
