Chapter 251: Leaving without Saying a Word

Yutai Mountain.

Empress Dowager Sheng stayed in Huguo Temple for more than a year, listening to Zen lectures and worshiping Buddha on weekdays. Her life was very peaceful and uneventful.

It so happened that the road was blocked by snow a few days ago, which alarmed the emperor.

The emperor came, and his concubines followed him.

Empress Dowager Sheng felt that she had encountered fewer strange things in the past year than in the past two days.

First, the concubines tried to show off in front of her.

Seeing that everyone was sick and unable to move, a lot of chickens suddenly died in the back mountain.

Before it was clear how the chickens died, dead chickens appeared one after another in front of the door of the emperor's favorite concubine, Lang Guipin.

The culprit was finally caught.

But I heard that it was a child less than four years old.

Still a girl doll.

When the Empress Dowager woke up the next morning, she learned about what had happened last night. She was surprised to hear that the little girl behaved like a beast. After breakfast, she waited for the Emperor to bring people over to explain the whole thing to her.

result!

The man took the concubines down the mountain!

Just go down the mountain. It’s rare for a concubine to leave the palace. How can she not like the vanity of this world?

The Queen Mother was waiting for them to come back and pay their respects to her.

As a result, before the man returned, he heard the news that the emperor had ordered Huo Shan to lead the imperial guards to seal off the city.

Now the Queen Mother could no longer sit still.

He directly sent Prince Li and Prince Li's son to "guard the chariot".

She said she was escorting the emperor, but in fact she wanted the emperor to bring people back immediately to give her an explanation.

Helian Yue and his party were distracted by the affairs of the Pingcheng prefect and the Liu brothers and sisters, and originally they didn't have much interest in continuing to stroll around. Fortunately, their purpose of going down the mountain to buy clothes for Li Sheng and make roast chicken was achieved today, so the party naturally headed back to the mountain.

After leaving the prefectural gate, they saw another group of guards standing outside.

This is another team of guards that King Li is responsible for leading on this trip.

Prince Li's guards and Huoshan's imperial guards were on two sides, neither of them willing to lose. This was the situation that Si Linglong saw when she came out carrying Li Sheng.

Just as he was about to walk towards the carriage that was being prepared outside, his sleeve was suddenly pulled by the little person in his arms.

Si Linglong lowered her head and saw little Li Sheng's big, bright eyes looking at her, and asked softly, "Brother?"

Although there were only two words, Si Linglong miraculously understood what she meant.

I looked around subconsciously and found that my brother was indeed gone.

He then asked Huo Shan who was standing beside him, "Commander Huo, have you seen my brother?"

Huo Shan heard the voice and said, "Master Si asked me to apologize to the emperor earlier, saying that he had something else to deal with at the grand gathering, so he apologized and left first."

Originally, Si Jinyu and they met by chance. Although the opportunity to accompany the emperor was rare, if he kept standing there, it would be suspected of fawning on him. Now that the matter was over, it would be most appropriate for him to apologize and leave.

Si Linglong originally didn't have any feelings for this cheap brother, but after spending a day together today, she really started to feel like she was treating him like a brother.

As a result, the man left without saying a word.

"You left without even telling me."

Si Linglong muttered in a depressed tone and walked to the front of the carriage. She happened to see that the person guarding the side was actually Helian Tuo. When she met his charming eyes, she felt even more depressed.

【Dog male protagonist, what are you looking at? 】

Helian Tuo saw her at first sight just now.

After changing out of her palace dress, she was only wearing ordinary brocade, but she was still bright and eye-catching, not to mention that she was holding a little girl in her arms.

Helian Tuo narrowed his eyes slightly. He had naturally heard about the dead chicken being thrown outside Lang Guipin's room before. He had been wondering if this woman would be frightened by such blatant malice, but then he heard that she led people to ambush in the middle of the night and caught the man.

This was beyond his expectations.

In other words, every action of this young lady from the Si family was beyond his expectations, including when she saved him in the imperial tent.

What is even more surprising is that the one who dared to kill in a sacred place of Buddhism and throw chickens to scare people,

How could it be such a harmless and delicate child?

I don’t know if she followed suit, but little Li Sheng, who was held in Si Linglong’s arms, now had the same depressed look on his face.

Helian Tuo quickly shifted his gaze and listened to the conversation between Si Linglong and Commander Huo. He couldn't help but asked with a smile,

"Why is Concubine Lang Gui's brother also in Pingcheng?"

Si Linglong glanced at him again and said, "It was just a coincidence."

Although he spoke politely, his tone seemed to carry a sense of "what's it got to do with you?"

Si Linglong took little Li Sheng into the car. Helian Tuo didn't want to chase the concubine and ask questions in front of so many people, so he just smiled and said nothing.

I just thought about the matter about her brother that I had asked someone to investigate earlier...

For some reason, something made him care.

The imperial guards brought by Huo Shan, together with Prince Li's troops, set out in a mighty procession. Only when the troops were far away from the prefectural yamen did Si Jinyu and his men come out from their hiding place at the corner of the street.

Looking at the man in front who was in charge of leading the team, his eyes, which had seemed warm before, now carried a hint of the coldness that only exists in winter.

"Let's go, we also need to get ready and set off back to Yongjing," he said.
