Chapter 148: A Small Confrontation Between the Emperor and the Empress
Can't distinguish between fantasy and reality!
Aren’t such serious sequelae considered side effects?
The Fifth Prince really wanted to beat someone up at this moment. "Beat someone up" is not an adjective. If he had not been concerned about Linglong's unpredictable methods, the Fifth Prince would probably have ordered people to take action long ago!
But now the Fifth Prince could only suppress his anger: "Is there any other way?"
Linglong said directly: "Aren't you her uncle?"
The Fifth Prince thought Linglong was hinting at him, so he said sarcastically, "In the Southern Border Royal Family, are all of you like one family?"
Linglong rarely spoke back, but just glared at the Fifth Prince fiercely.
The Fifth Prince: If this woman is not still useful for the time being, he will definitely make her pay!
"Cousin-in-law, please stay. Everyone else can leave first!" The fifth prince suppressed his dissatisfaction.
Chu Ci was completely confused by the Fifth Prince's thoughts. Hadn't he been at loggerheads with Linglong just now? How come the task of taking care of Minghui fell to him in the blink of an eye?
Chu Ci pointed at his nose and asked in confusion. "Me? Why me? I don't know how to coax a child."
The fifth prince still did not answer until everyone present had left.
The Fifth Prince glanced at Minghui, who still had her eyes tightly closed. "I don't believe them. I will be on guard tonight with Fan Jingrui. You should also be alert."
Chu Ci didn't know what was so special about his courtyard that it could attract all kinds of people to come in, and now a princess had come.
But as the master, there are some things that cannot be shirked. Chu Ci could only agree: "Okay."
"I will order someone to send Huiming away as soon as possible." After receiving Chu Ci's affirmative response, the Fifth Prince rarely said something pleasant.
Chu Ci did not express her opinion. After all, in her current situation, she needed to rely on the Fifth Prince and Zi Yi as two strong backers.
However, at this moment, the fifth prince had already begun to think about leaving Liancheng and returning to the capital.
And that very night, the emperor and empress in the palace received the fifth prince's pigeon message almost at the same time.
In the letter, the fifth prince described in detail his experiences in Liancheng, as well as his analysis and concerns about the current situation.
He felt that the situation in Liancheng was becoming increasingly complicated and was beyond his control, which made him feel uneasy and fearful.
Of course, this is what was said to the Queen.
The Fifth Prince's words to the Emperor were more based on the interests and stability of the court. He also repeatedly emphasized the importance of Minghui and the significance of Chuci.
As soon as the emperor received the letter, he went to the queen's palace.
"Zitong, Sheng'er wrote you a letter, right? Bring it here for me to see." As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he did not give the queen a chance to refuse.
"Why does the emperor suddenly want to read Sheng'er's private letter to me? Could it be that Sheng'er didn't write to the emperor this time, and the emperor is jealous of me?" The queen asked tentatively while secretly trying to figure out the emperor's intention.
The emperor did not answer. With a glance, Zhang Rang handed the fifth prince's letter to the queen.
The Queen quickly scanned the letter, mentally considering the appropriate words. "This child is such a coward! It's just a small matter, yet she's clamoring to come back and making it sound so serious."
As the queen spoke, she signaled with her eyes, and her personal maid took out a letter from an exquisite box and handed it to the emperor.
The Queen was so frank that the Emperor was certain that what was written in the Fifth Prince's letter was basically true.
After taking the letter and reading it, I found that except for some words of coquettishness and complaints, the content was basically the same.
The emperor then stared at the queen and asked, "Zitong, what do you think should be done about Sheng'er's proposal?"
The queen was secretly mad at herself, but outwardly she was the virtuous, dignified, and generous queen. "As a mother, I naturally hope that Sheng'er will be with me. But Sheng'er is not only my son, he is also the King of Qin of the Great Zhou."
At this point, the Queen paused for a moment before continuing, "On the contrary, Minghui, I think it would be best to take the child back as soon as possible!"
Hearing that the Queen was still following the rules even at this moment, the Emperor was very satisfied and finally patted the back of the Queen's hand sincerely. "Zitong, very good."
After completing the test, the emperor had no intention of staying for long.
Receiving the emperor's hint, Zhang Rang's drooping fingers moved slightly, and soon a young eunuch walked in with a bow.
Zhang Rang quickly took a memorial from the young eunuch and presented it to the emperor. The emperor had intended it to be a casual gesture, but he had never imagined that it was an urgent memorial from the King of Minyue, traveling eight hundred miles.
"Zi Tong is right. The King of Qin is the King of Qin of the Great Zhou." The Emperor said this and immediately gestured to Zhang Rang. Zhang Rang immediately shouted, "Prepare yourselves!"
The emperor stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the hall.
Upon seeing this, the Queen quickly led all the palace maids and eunuchs to kneel down and salute: "Your Highness, I respectfully bid you farewell. Long live the Emperor."
The emperor took a few steps, then stopped, looked back at the queen, and then continued walking forward.
The next day, the entire court knew that the Fan family was in great luck. First, Chu Ci appeared and saved the lives of the entire family.
Later, they were lucky enough to encounter a Tatar spy, which saved their entire family from exile.
Now, to make matters even better, the King of Qin, who had been missing for a long time, was rescued by Fan Jingrui, the extremely talented grandson of the Fan family.
The emperor was very pleased and restored the scholar status of all male members of the Fan family except Tutor Fan.
At this rate, wouldn't the Fan family be able to return to the capital within five years?
The former prince...
For a time, people in the capital were in unrest.
In this way, no one noticed the imperial edict in the hands of the team delivering the edict.
In addition to restoring the status of the male members of the Fan family, what is more important is the order to King Qin and Fan Jingrui to go to Minyue immediately to assist the King of Minyue to recover the lost land occupied by pirates.
Feng Yan, the director of the Imperial Observatory, also disappeared from everyone's sight from that day on.
Liancheng, the two imperial edicts have been read out.
Chu Ci found it hard to accept for a moment. Are some things ultimately unavoidable?
But as soon as this thought came up, it was suppressed by Chu Ci. No, the Fan family is no longer an exiled criminal.
He even restored his identity. If he can make another great contribution this time, Fan Jingrui's future will be even brighter.
Chu Ci kept calculating what Fan Jingrui would need for his trip to Minyue, but Fan Jingrui mistakenly thought that this was Chu Ci's reluctance to leave him.
Thinking that this separation would last at least a year and a half, Fan Jingrui felt filled with guilt.
Thinking of this, Fan Jingrui didn't care that he was still outside and took Chu Ci's hands.
"My dear, I'm sorry. Also, if you encounter any difficulties, please write to me. Even if I can't do it, I still have my cousin!"
Fan Jingrui acted like a rogue for once.
