Chapter 400 Farewell
She has always been so easy to coax. As long as there is something delicious, no matter how big her dissatisfaction is, it will quickly dissipate.
Luo Qinghan couldn't help but think deeply. If they had a daughter in the future, they would definitely not let her learn from Xiao Xixi. Like her, she would be too easily fooled away by those wolf cubs outside.
He had to cultivate his daughter's knowledge from an early age so that she would have a higher vision than ordinary people.
In this way, those wolf cubs outside won't be able to easily trick his daughter into their grasp.
Everything happened just as the prince expected.
At the end of the banquet, Xiao Xixi forgot the mental damage caused by the vicious words.
She happily followed the prince back to Huaxianju.
With Nie Changping taking over Chenliu County and Chixiao Army, and with the assistance of Jiang Yuanshan, the prince can finally put the matter of returning to Beijing on the agenda.
The news of the crown prince's death was spread back to Shengjing, causing an uproar in the court.
In the following period of time, this news was spread all over the country by people who traveled far and wide.
People from all over the country were shocked when they learned that the prince had been murdered.
Especially the people in the four southern counties, besides being shocked, they were more sad and angry.
Previously, the prince had prayed for rain for the south and saved them from disaster. They regarded the prince as their savior and believed that he was the son of heaven and no one could replace him.
Now that the prince has been brutally murdered by a villain, how can these people bear it?
The people were filled with righteous indignation. They ran around telling each other the news and went to the local county government in groups, hoping that the county magistrate would write to the court and ask the emperor to issue an order to thoroughly investigate the case of the prince's murder and to make sure the murderer of the prince was cut into pieces!
County magistrates in various places were forced into a corner and had no choice but to do what the people said.
Countless memorials were sent to Shengjing and handed over to the cabinet, which then selected them and presented them to the emperor.
Even though a large number of them were screened out, a lot of memorials were still left in the end. They were all from county magistrates in various places expressing that the people were very sad about the death of the prince and begging the emperor to seek justice for the prince to reassure the people!
The emperor felt complicated when he saw these memorials.
On the one hand, he felt that he had not chosen the wrong person. Luo Qinghan was indeed the most suitable person to be the crown prince, and would definitely be an excellent successor in the future.
But on the other hand, he was very dissatisfied that these people actually regarded the prince so highly.
Even though he, the emperor, was still alive, the people were loyal to the prince.
Where do they put him as an emperor?!
The emperor threw the memorials aside and picked up a letter next to them.
This is an urgent secret letter sent by express horse from Chenliu County.
The emperor has already read this secret letter.
This secret letter was written by the prince himself. In the letter, he recounted how he escaped death and emphasized Qiu Yuan's evil intentions, his father's murder and his cruel acts of plotting rebellion.
Now Qiu Yuan has been executed, Prince Chenliu has died of illness, and the whereabouts of his only remaining son is unknown, and his life or death is still unknown.
In order to stabilize the situation in Chenliu County, the prince decided to let the young prince Nie Changping stay in Chenliu County temporarily. He would be responsible for managing all the affairs in Chenliu County and taking over the supervision of the Chixiao Army.
The emperor's gaze rested on the last two lines.
It sounded nice, but it just meant that Nie Changping would stay in Chenliu County temporarily.
But everyone knew that once Nie Changping took root in Chenliu County, he would never leave.
If it were someone else, the emperor might have used some tough measures to recall the person.
But Nie Changping is different.
His biological mother, Princess Jingyang, died to save the emperor. Everyone in the world knew this. No matter whether the emperor was sincere or not, if he wanted to maintain his image as a benevolent and generous person, he had to treat Princess Jingyang's only son well.
Now that Nie Changping wanted to stay in Chenliu County, the emperor was extremely unhappy, but in the end he had no choice but to accept it.
After discussing with the cabinet ministers, he summoned people to draft an imperial edict, conferring the title of Prince of Chenliu on Nie Changping, dividing Chenliu County into his fiefdom, and placing the 50,000 Chixiao Army under his command.
At the same time, the emperor issued another imperial decree, summoning the prince to return to Beijing immediately without delay.
The two imperial edicts were sent out of Shengjing at full speed.
The common people didn't know that the prince had "come back from the dead", but the people in the palace already knew about it.
The happiest people were the concubines in the Eastern Palace.
If the prince were not dead, they would not need to be buried with him!
The most unhappy ones were the princes.
They originally thought that now that the prince was dead, they would have a chance.
Who knew that the prince didn't die, and all their previous joy was in vain.
Queen Qin in the Pepper Palace still did not react much. She ordered people to pass down that there was no need to eat vegetarian food in the palace. The white banners were removed one by one, and all the funeral supplies that had been prepared before were also destroyed.
…
Inside Panyun City.
Luo Qinghan had already asked people to prepare for returning to Beijing.
When he received the imperial edict, he immediately ordered his return to Beijing.
Nie Changping had now become the Prince of Chenliu. He was too lazy to open another mansion, so he simply renovated the original Chenliu Palace and moved in with his luggage and guards.
He has not yet married, and besides him, there are only a group of servants and guards in the mansion.
The prince is leaving Panyun City today, and Nie Changping has been waiting at the gate of the palace with his men since early morning.
After the prince's carriage started, Nie Changping led his men to escort it all the way, and Jiang Yuanshan was also in the team.
After they were escorted out of the city and walked another ten miles, the prince finally asked them to stop.
"After traveling thousands of miles, we will eventually have to say goodbye. I have already explained everything that needs to be explained. Remember to send someone to look after Yue Lao San. Don't disturb their lives. Just help them when they need help."
Nie Changping dismounted from his horse and knelt down in kowtow.
“Here!”
Jiang Yuanshan and his followers also knelt down.
They all knew that after this separation, they would never know when they would meet again.
"Please take good care of yourself, Your Highness!"
Luo Qinghan: "You too, take care of yourselves."
After saying that, he retracted his gaze and lowered the car window curtains.
A thin curtain blocks the view from outside.
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "Let's go."
The carriage restarted and continued to move forward.
It was not until the team went farther and farther away and could no longer be seen that Nie Changping and others stood up.
The cold wind blew snowflakes down.
Another heavy snow is coming.
Nie Changping jumped on the horse and cracked the whip. The horse carried him towards Panyun City at a gallop. The cloak behind him fluttered in the cold wind, like spread wings, wanting to carry him into the sky.
The others followed on horseback.
The sound of horse hooves clattered, leaving a series of distinct footprints on the snow.
But these footprints were soon covered by snow.
It was as if nothing was left.
