Chapter 770 The whole palace falls ill
Xiao Lanyuan didn't want to stay in the capital anymore.
He thought a lot in prison these days, and after the patient was sent to prison, he had new ideas.
"I have no fiefdom." He sighed softly.
"No?" King Qiong also has a fiefdom like Qiongzhou Prefecture. If he goes to the fiefdom, he can be called king and raise some soldiers. If Xiao Lanyuan doesn't have it, where will he go after leaving the capital?
His status was extraordinary, and he could not just settle down anywhere. If something happened, who was more important, the local officials or him? Who should he listen to?
She was not afraid of hardship or not having money to earn, but she was not a commoner and was restricted in many things.
Besides, can the emperor just let him leave like that?
"I control the Dragon Shadow Guard and the seal, so I can't leave the capital. In addition, because of my weak health in the past, the emperor was also afraid that I would be too far away from the capital. If I got sick, there would be no one to help me, no imperial doctors, and no enough medicine."
In the capital, at least there are the most resources.
The retired emperor had this consideration in mind when he did not grant him a fiefdom or allow him to leave the capital.
But now these have become his constraints.
"So where can we go after leaving the capital?"
Fu Zhaoning thought for a moment and asked again, "If we leave the capital, the Dragon Shadow Guards can't be taken with us, right? Then the emperor won't send people to kill us again?"
This is almost impossible. The emperor has been wary of and hated him for twenty years. How could he let him go just because he is willing to leave the capital?
It is very likely that the emperor would send secret guards to assassinate him as soon as he left the capital.
It's even more worry-free outside, but it's still difficult to do anything in the capital.
"So, I plan to take the Dragon Shadow Guards away." Xiao Lanyuan said, "I haven't told you this before because I once promised the emperor that I would help him protect Zhaoguo."
But now the emperor simply can't tolerate him.
The retired emperor trusted the emperor too much back then. He always felt that even if the emperor had shortcomings, he at least kept his promises and truly loved him as his younger brother. He believed that as long as he did not threaten the throne, the emperor would not want to deal with him.
"Can the Dragon Shadow Guard go with you?"
"I will convince the general, I'm sure."
Xiao Lanyuan was not only targeting the guards, but he had also personally trained a group of young newcomers over the years. These Dragon Shadow Guards had never seen the emperor, and had always followed him after joining, so it would not be difficult for him to take them away.
If they just convince the guard general, the Dragon Shadow Guard won't be at risk of disintegration, and no one will be left behind.
The guard general was indeed a good talent for training the Dragon Shadow Guards, and he didn't want to give up.
"Where are we going?"
"You agree?"
Xiao Lanyuan's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Fu Zhaoning intently.
I originally thought it would be difficult to get her to leave the capital, but I didn't expect her to be so decisive.
You have to know that following him means not only changing the place where you live, but also facing more unknown storms with him.
In the capital, he is Prince Jun and has his own palace. The emperor has to think hard if he wants to deal with him, so there are still some safeguards.
But if he really leaves the capital, he will almost have to start all over again.
There is still great danger.
They may also drift.
"If you really want to leave, as your wife, I have no choice but to follow you. This is not a difficult thing to consider. Or have you ever thought about leaving me behind and going alone?" Fu Zhaoning looked at him with a dangerous look in his eyes.
Xiao Lanyuan quickly shook his head.
"How is this possible? I will never leave you alone."
"So where are you going?"
Xiao Lanyuan took her to the study and let her see the map of the world.
The territory of Zhao State was so vast that every city was marked out.
He pulled Fu Zhaoning to stand in front of him and watch, "Let's pick carefully?"
There were officials stationed in those cities, as well as some barracks.
If the emperor still wants him dead, once they enter the city, it will be like delivering food to the emperor. The local officers and soldiers will be able to surround them directly. If they resist at that time, it will be equivalent to rebellion. Otherwise, all the local officers and soldiers must be wiped out. Will Occupy the city be theirs?
The emperor can fabricate a crime and surround and kill people in the city at any time.
He has no military power, and even with the Dragon Shadow Guards, they are not enough to fight against the Zhao Kingdom's army.
Xiao Lanyuan looked at the land carefully, his eyes sweeping across the cities.
Fu Zhaoning looked for a while. With the little information she knew, she couldn't pick a suitable place.
There is a feeling that "this world is so big that there is no place for me to stay".
But this is their last step, and there is still time, so they can only choose slowly.
The Queen Mother stayed temporarily in Prince Jun's Mansion. The news spread throughout the city, and everyone was secretly guessing what the Emperor meant.
Many people were also waiting for Prince Jun to go to the Fu Mansion to settle old scores with Fu Jinchen and his wife, but they waited and waited, but Prince Jun never came out.
Prince Jun had not gone out for a few days, and everyone began to suspect that his illness was really serious.
On New Year's Eve, Fu Zhaoning did not return to the Fu family to have a reunion dinner with his family. The Fu family went to Prince Jun's Mansion but did not open the door.
Therefore, everyone began to speculate whether Princess Jun was also ill, or whether she was temporarily under house arrest by Prince Jun, and was not allowed to see her parents until he recovered.
Among these rumors, there was another more shocking rumor that said Prince Jun had contracted a dirty disease, his face and body were all rotten, and he smelled terrible.
This disease is contagious, so the gates of Prince Jun's Mansion were closed tightly and no one dared to come out. It was very likely that everyone in the mansion had been infected with the disease.
During the Chinese New Year, people were setting off firecrackers to celebrate the New Year, but the rumors about Prince Jun's Mansion were getting more and more intense.
In the end, everyone in Prince Jun’s Mansion was infected with the disease. Now the entire Prince Jun’s Mansion is carrying the virus. Anyone who gets close to it may be blown by the wind and get infected.
Even the Queen Mother is seriously ill in Prince Jun’s Mansion!
Therefore, all the forces that wanted to keep an eye on the movements of Prince Jun's Mansion retreated farther away, and no one dared to approach Prince Jun's Mansion.
Everyone believed this news, otherwise, why didn't anyone from Prince Jun's Mansion come out to clarify?
Moreover, why did the emperor let Prince Jun stay in the palace and not send him back to prison?
The year passed by amid these rumors.
After the New Year, the emperor could no longer contain himself.
"Send someone to find out what's wrong with Prince Jun."
His seal and his Dragon Shadow Guard must be obtained first.
"Oh, and the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother didn't send any news. Was she really ill? The Emperor was a little worried.
"The envoys from the Kingdom of Min will come to the Kingdom of Zhao in the spring. When they sign the letter of credence, they will need the seal. We can use this as an excuse to ask King Jun for the seal."
Of course, I won’t send it back this time.
