Lu Zhenzhi stroked Fu Tong'er's coffin. His expression was unclear in the darkness. He patted it again, saying nothing.
"Your Majesty is fourteen years older than her..."
Lu Zhenzhi patted the coffin, walked around, and raised his head: "Even if I am a hundred years older than her, she still loves me." After a pause, he said, "Use your knife and open the coffin!"
"Nineth Master's internal strength is amazing. He can open the coffin with just one palm."
"I am the emperor."
"Since the Ninth Master ascended the throne, he has become much lazier than before."
"You are so outrageous..."
Lu Zhenzhi rolled up his sleeves. He had indeed aged in the three years since Fu Tong'er's death.
"Do you think you're still the handsome General Hong? Huh?" Lu Zhenzhi pushed the coffin with both palms. Hong Xiaotian also came over, and the two of them pushed the coffin together...
"Your beard looks even sloppier than mine. Chunchun is a drunkard! Tong'er is so fond of men, she won't even look at you when she comes back. Humph, Brother Su, you look older than her father now."
The coffin lid moved with a rumbling sound, and finally fell to the ground with a thud, turning over in the dirt!
Hong Xiaotian touched his beard and didn't dare to look inside: "Really?"
Lu Zhenzhi stood aside, stunned for a long time.
Sudden……
"Hong Xiaotian obeys orders."
Hong Xiaotian was startled, turned around and looked into the coffin!
It was actually an empty coffin!
He immediately clasped his fists and bowed: "Your Majesty!"
"Search the entire northern country for Fu Tong'er. I want her alive or dead!" Lu Zhenzhi said, slapping his palm on the coffin...
"Yes! General, I obey your order!"
That night, in the palace, in the imperial study
Emperor Yong clenched his hand wearing the jade ring and stood in front of the window. Fu Tong'er's coffin was actually empty.
That day, he clearly watched Fu Tong'er being placed in the coffin!
How could it become an empty coffin!
"Someone come!"
Xiao Changzi runs in!
"His Majesty."
"Summon Xiaopu to the palace to see me!"
Xiao Mansion outside the Palace
Xiao Pu was squatting on the ground, holding Qiao'er's bulging belly and listening to the sound: "There is movement, there is movement, he is kicking me..."
Qiao'er smiled: "Look at you, don't scare my son."
Suddenly, the servant in the palace came to report: "Master, the eunuch Chang who is with His Majesty has arrived."
Xiao Pu stood up: "Let him in."
"Yes, sir,"
Xiao Si goes down.
Qiao'er supported her waist and let Xiaopu help her sit down.
A voice called "General Xiao" came quickly from the front yard. It was Xiao Changzi who was beside Emperor Yong.
"General Xiao, Madam Xiao, we are honored. We are following His Majesty's order to have General Xiao appear before the Emperor immediately."
"Now?" Qiao'er looked outside and saw it was already past midnight. She couldn't sleep well because she was pregnant, so she asked Xiaopu to get up and walk with her.
"General Xiao," Xiao Changzi said, "Your Majesty's order cannot be delayed."
Xiao Pu said, "Thank you for taking this trip, eunuch. I will be going to the palace right away, you can go ahead."
After Eunuch Chang left, Xiao Pu helped Qiao'er back to her room and said, "If you can't sleep tonight, just close your eyes and rest. His Majesty must be looking for me urgently because of Imperial Noble Consort Yu. You don't have to wait for me."
After saying that, he stroked her bulging belly and felt the fetal movement.
She smiled and said, "Our child is so lively, it must be a girl."
"I think it's a son."
"Why?"
"It's my son who looks like you."
"It's my daughter who looks like you."
The two of them said almost in unison...
Qiao'er burst out laughing.
Xiao Pu also raised the corners of his lips slightly, hugged Qiao'er, stroked her belly and said: "It's great that God let me marry you."
As he said this, he hugged her and shook her.
Qiao'er turned around and leaned on Xiaopu's chest: "Go quickly, it's the middle of the night, be careful."
…
Imperial Palace
Emperor Yong was sitting in his imperial study reviewing memorials. The Empress Dowager had another order delivered regarding the next year's selection of concubines.
Lu Zhenzhi suppressed the memorial.
I heard a voice: "General Xiao is here!"
Lu Zhenzhi sat there and looked up.
Xiao Pu walked in quickly, patted the sinking with his hands, and knelt on his knees: "Your Majesty, I, Xiao Pu, pay my respects to you! May your Majesty be well!"
"Xiao Pu, stand up and sit down."
The man's words were brief and forceful. Xiao Pu secretly felt that Emperor Yong today seemed to have regained some of the toughness of the Ninth Master in his past.
"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!" He stood up and sat aside.
"Xiao Pu," Lu Zhenzhi looked up, "Do you still remember who buried Tong'er that day?"
"Your Majesty means,"
"Her coffin is an empty coffin!"
