Chapter 281 Secretly
After hearing this, Xie Guimo regretted telling the truth.
Even Chen Tang could not be sure that this life would be the same as her previous life. She just felt that sooner or later she would have to bring the person back to Beijing, so the sooner the better. If it was really the same as her previous life, many things would be easier to handle later. If something went wrong, all his plans would be disrupted.
I hope Young Master Huo won't let him down.
Seeing that Xie Guimo didn't speak, the emperor picked up the teacup and asked, "Why don't you speak?"
Xie Guimo said, "I am thinking whether I should write a letter to urge you. I don't want to be beaten..."
The poor emperor almost spit out his tea.
Happy that Grandpa's shoulder did not dislocate.
The Prince of Jingyang always says shocking things and does things unconventionally.
Can I write a letter to urge this?
Mrs. Huo has been married to Mr. Huo for three years, but she still hasn't gotten pregnant. How can Mr. Huo not be anxious? But having an offspring also depends on fate. However, the Crown Prince's wife of Prince Jingyang dreamed that Mrs. Huo was pregnant and Mr. Huo was killed. In shock, there were two lives lost. Such an unlucky thing must be prevented.
Because it was too outrageous, and Xie Guimo had always been bold and responsible, even saying directly that he would support Prince Yu. If he really had asked Young Master Huo to return to Beijing to support Prince Yu, he would not deny it.
The emperor believed it for the time being.
He waved his hand and sent Xie Guimo away.
Inside the house, Chen Tang was lying on a small couch, eating fruit and flipping through a book. He was eating with gusto and reading intently.
Si'er came in from outside and said, "Princess, the prince sent someone back to say that he wants to treat everyone and will not be back for lunch."
dinner……
No need to ask, it must be Prince Yu.
Prince Yu helped recommend Young Master Huo to be the Chief of the City Patrol Department, so we must thank him very much.
However, being a city patrol officer is not an easy job. It is tiring and easy to offend people.
However, there are not many vacancies in the court, and there are not always suitable ones. We can only bring people back to Beijing first and then slowly plan for the rest.
Xie Guimo wanted to treat everyone, so Chen Tang ate lunch alone. Ever since she married Xie Guimo, they had eaten three meals a day together whenever he was in the mansion. Suddenly, she was alone and she was not used to it.
After lunch, Chen Tang continued to read. When he finished a book, Xie Guimo's footsteps were heard.
Through the beaded curtain, Chen Tang saw him coming in and put down the book in his hand. Chen Tang stood up to greet him, "Is the emperor looking for you because Prince Yu recommended Master Huo?"
Xie Guimo said sadly, "Maybe I'll get a beating for this."
Chen Tang, "......???"
Shen Tang looked at Xie Guimo blankly, and Xie Guimo repeated to Shen Tang what he had said to the emperor. Although the emperor trusted him, the crime of deceiving the emperor was no joke, and he couldn't say the wrong thing if someone asked about it later.
Chen Tang felt sweat forming in his heart when he heard this, "If you are not pregnant, the Emperor will not really beat you, right?"
Seeing that Chen Tang looked a little worried, Xie Guimo wanted to tease her, "It's hard to say."
Chen Tang comforted herself. She had been reborn for a few months, and although many things had changed, Guzhou was far away from Kyoto after all, so she was less affected. It was very likely that she would be pregnant like in her previous life.
Besides, by the time the Ministry of Personnel sends the transfer letter to Guzhou, it will take some time for Young Master Huo to return to Beijing. Maybe the emperor will have forgotten about it by then.
Taking another step back, Chen Tang said, "You are the prince of Jingyang. The emperor has always liked you. Even if he really hits you, he won't hit you too hard. You just need to rest for a few days."
Xie Guimo, "..."
Xie Guimo reached out and pinched Chen Tang’s nose, “You really are my dear daughter-in-law.”
Chen Tang pulled his hand down, and the aroma of Xie Guimo's wine wafted on his face, mellow and sweet. He said, "Go to the study to grind ink for me. I'll write a letter."
Chen Tang was puzzled, "Who is it written to?"
"To Young Master Huo, Prince Yu recommended him. I'm afraid the Huo family will think too much. If I decline and return to Beijing, all my efforts will be in vain."
A general is not bound by the orders of the emperor when he is away from the court. The letter of appointment is not an imperial decree, but just a piece of paper sent by the Ministry of Personnel. If General Huo does not want to let Young Master Huo return to Beijing, he has no choice. In order to ensure that such a thing will not happen, he has to write a letter to explain clearly.
This is serious business. Chen Tang went to the study to help Xie Guimo grind ink. Chen Tang felt that this letter was difficult to write. He could neither tell the truth nor use the pretext that Mrs. An missed her daughter. He didn't know how Xie Guimo would convince General Huo.
As a result, Xie Guimo picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, finishing the letter that Chen Tang didn't know how to write in just a few words. Chen Tang tilted his head and took a look, only to see that it read:
My grandfather died on the battlefield, and there seems to be a hidden story. I hope Master Huo can return to Beijing to help.
Xie Guimo's handwriting was vigorous and powerful, yet free and easy, but Chen Tang could see some heaviness in it, and his heart seemed to be hit hard by something.
She looked at Xie Guimo, "Duke Zhenguo died on the battlefield. Is there really a hidden story behind this?"
Xie Guimo shook his head, "I don't know. Father is secretly investigating this matter. He must have some suspicions."
General Huo was promoted by the Duke of Zhenguo. He might hesitate to help Prince Yu win the throne, but if Young Master Huo returns to the capital to help him investigate the Duke of Zhenguo's death in the battlefield, General Huo will pack up overnight and let Young Master Huo return to the capital.
Chen Tang said, "You didn't ask your father?"
How could I not ask? It would be useless to ask because my father didn't say a word and even told me not to let my mother know.
He even suspected that his grandfather had not been home for the past two years because he was investigating the matter, but he had no evidence.
But he knew his own father. He was not suspicious and might even have some evidence. He would not still be investigating this matter twelve years after his grandfather and uncle died on the battlefield.
In fact, after reading military books for so many years, he had reviewed the battle in which his grandfather and uncle were defeated many times. He also vaguely felt that with his grandfather and uncle's abilities, they should not have lost so miserably and even lost their lives.
My grandfather and two uncles died in the battlefield, and my mother fell seriously ill. For so many years, she dared not return to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, for fear of being saddened by the scene. If I let my mother know that my grandfather and two uncles did not just die in the battlefield, but were most likely killed by someone, it would be even more painful.
It is difficult for my father to find any clues about this matter. What use would it be if my mother knew about it? Apart from asking my father for help, she can only find Concubine Ye.
It just so happens that the person my father distrusts the most is Concubine Ye, and he even has a faint dislike for her.
There was also what Chen Tang told him, that his father would die on the battlefield. He knew that the battlefield was dangerous, but he had never thought that his father would die on the battlefield. After knowing this, he tossed and turned and didn't sleep all night.
He couldn't believe that such a thing would happen, and when he thought of his father's death on the battlefield, he thought of his grandfather and two uncles who died on the battlefield.
Just as unexpected.
After realizing that his father was investigating the deaths of his grandfather and uncle on the battlefield, he had a vague feeling that his father was also murdered.
And it's the same person.
The purpose of writing this letter to General Huo, besides asking him to let Young Master Huo return to Beijing, is also to remind him to be careful.
