Chapter 148: The Emperor and the Empress
Can't tell the difference 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 his men to act 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 mocking him, so he said sarcastically, "Are all the people in your Southern Border royal family as close as a family?"
Linglong rarely said anything back, but just glared at the Fifth Prince fiercely.
The Fifth Prince: If this woman were not still useful for the time being, he would definitely teach her a lesson!
"Cousin, please stay. Everyone else can leave first!" The Fifth Prince suppressed his dissatisfaction.
Chu Ci couldn't understand the Fifth Prince's thoughts at all. Wasn't he confronting Linglong before? How come in an instant, the task of taking care of Minghui fell to him?
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 closed, and said, "I don't believe them. I will be on guard tonight with Fan Jingrui, so you should also be alert."
Chu Ci had no idea what was so special about his courtyard that could attract all kinds of people to keep pouring 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 evening, the emperor and empress in the palace received the fifth prince's pigeon messages 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.
As for the emperor, the fifth prince's words were more based on the interests and stability of the court. He also repeatedly emphasized the importance of Minghui and the value of Chuci.
As soon as the emperor received the letter, he went to the queen's palace.
"Zitong, Sheng'er has written you a letter, right? Bring it here for me to see." Once the emperor opened his mouth, he did not give the queen a chance to refuse.
"Why does His Majesty suddenly want to read Sheng'er's private letter to me? Could it be that Sheng'er didn't write to Your Majesty this time and Your Majesty 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 read the letter while thinking about the right words in her mind. "This child is too timid. It's just a small matter, why is he 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, how do you think we should deal with Sheng'er's proposal?"
The queen was thinking MMP in her heart, but on the outside she was the virtuous, dignified and generous queen. "As a mother, I naturally hope that Sheng'er will be happy in my lap. 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 is better to take the child back as soon as possible!"
Hearing that the queen still followed the rules even at this moment, the emperor was very satisfied and finally patted 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 moved his drooping fingers slightly, and soon a young eunuch walked in with his head bowed.
Zhang Rang quickly took a memorial from the young eunuch and presented it to the emperor. The emperor was just pretending to do it, but he never thought that it was an urgent memorial from the King of Minyue, which was sent over 800 miles away.
"What Zi Tong said is very true. The King of Qin is the King of Qin of the Great Zhou." The emperor immediately signaled Zhang Rang, who immediately shouted, "Prepare your carriage—"
The emperor stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the hall.
Upon seeing this, the Queen immediately led a group of palace maids and eunuchs to kneel down and salute: "Your Highness, I respectfully send you off. 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 whole court knew that the Fan family was in great luck. First, they had a Chu Ci, which 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 long-missing King Qin was rescued by Fan Jingrui, the brilliant grandson of the Fan family.
The emperor was very pleased and restored the scholar status of all the 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 that conveyed the edict.
In addition to restoring the status of the male members of the Fan family, what was more important was the order to King Qin and Fan Jingrui to go to Minyue immediately to assist the King of Minyue in recovering the lost land occupied by pirates.
The Director of the Imperial Observatory, Feng Yan, 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 it for a moment. Are some things ultimately unavoidable?
But as soon as this thought came to his mind, Chu Ci suppressed it. No, the Fan family is no longer an exiled criminal family.
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's heart was 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, you must write to your husband. Even if your husband can't do it, there is still your cousin!"
Fan Jingrui acted like a rogue for once.
