surnamed Wang

Chapter 183 Chapter 184
After returning to Beijing, Liu Luming returned to the Liu Mansion, while Wang Bingquan didn't even return to the mansion, and went straight into the palace.

"My Majesty, the Eighth Prince is asking to see you."

"Xuan!"

Wang Gingquan gently pushed open the door of the imperial study, and the emperor stopped what he was doing when he heard the sound.

Seeing the other party's pale face, Wang Gangquan's heart shuddered, remembering that he was not like this before he left Beijing.

"The body is the capital of the country, Your Majesty pays attention to the dragon's body." Wang Gangquan reminded.

"I'm sorry for your trouble, eighth brother. I know everything on the road will be smooth?" The emperor asked with a slight smile.

Wang Gangquan scratched his head, "I was just about to tell you about this. At first everything went smoothly, but then I encountered a large group of water bandits besieging the city in Andongwei, and it took three days to find a way to defeat the enemy. This time, the fire sent to the southeast Some of the blunderbuss fell into their hands, the exact number is unknown, and we will not know until we bring back the hundred households."

The emperor nodded when he heard the words, but he was not very surprised. He should have obtained the information in advance.

"It's just a little strange. There was an internal strife among the water bandits. One of the hall masters named Wu Zhui killed the gang leader and led the rest of the water bandits away. It seemed that he didn't want to have another conflict with us."

"Okay, I understand, I will send someone to deal with this matter, you have worked hard all the way, go back and rest first." The emperor's eyes remained calm.

Wang Gangquan was puzzled, he didn't know if the other party really didn't take this seriously, or if they had planned it long ago.But the next thing really has nothing to do with him, and he didn't bother to think about it, so he bent down and saluted:

"The younger brother will take his leave first."

This was the first time he had saluted Emperor Xian En so solemnly, not for anything else, but the spirit of the other party's serious illness and the spirit of trying his best to deal with government affairs was enough to make him admire.

Seeing this, the emperor's eyes flickered for a moment of thought, and then he said lightly:
"Here's something for you."

After speaking, he took a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the eunuch beside him.

Wang Gingquan took the jade pendant handed over by the eunuch, and as soon as his hand touched it, he felt a warmth.

The whole body of the jade pendant is carved from ink jade, warm and pitch-black, and the word "dark" is engraved in seal script on it.

"Your Majesty, this..."

He was a little confused, usually couples would give jade pendants to each other, two old men, why would you give this to yourself.

"Give this jade pendant to you, and treat it as if you owe me a favor."

"what?"

Wang Gingquan was even more puzzled, what is going on here? If you give yourself a piece of jade in exchange for a favor, your favor is really worthless.

He still wanted to ask something, but the other party didn't give him this chance at all: "Okay, step back."

"..."

Why does Wang Bingxian have the same virtue as the old emperor, he likes to talk half of what he talks about.

Although he thought so in his heart, Wang Gingquan still retreated obediently. Whoever makes him the emperor, he owes favors, others can't wait.

After Wang Gingquan left the imperial study, he went straight to Concubine Yang's residence. Although he didn't leave for a long time this time, after going through so many things, there is always the illusion that it has been a long time.

Even when he saw Yang Guifei, the other party asked in surprise:
"Quan'er, why did you come to see your mother so soon?"

Wang Gangquan didn't dare to say that he had experienced a big battle outside, he didn't even dare to say about leaving the capital, so he could only say vaguely:

"Well, the royal father's funeral has passed, and I don't know about the child's marriage..."

When Concubine Yang saw this, her eyes were full of smiles, and she co-authored that her son had grown up and wanted to find a wife.

He is anxious about this matter, Concubine Yang Gui is more anxious than him when she is a mother.

She has been to Yan's Mansion countless times during this period. Although she didn't mention the marriage, she would stay there for a long time every time, and she would bring a bunch of gifts with her every time.

Although it was a bit self-defeating to go to General Yan's mansion in person as her noble concubine, but who told him to have only this son, and he only fell in love with Miss Yan.

Although she did a lot of work behind her back, Concubine Yang Gui couldn't help teasing:

"Why, do you want to find the princess?"

Unexpectedly, instead of being shy, Wang Gangquan nodded his head and said seriously: "Yes."

His appearance made Concubine Yang Guifei unable to deal with it. Is this her son who would run away as soon as he heard that he was married?
In fact, she didn't know that although Wang Bingquan seemed to be in his early twenties, his mental age was already over 30, and logically he should have gotten married long ago.

"Okay, I'll find a matchmaker to go to the Yan Mansion to propose marriage soon."

Seeing that her son was happy, Concubine Yang Gui replied very readily.

"That's it, I'm going to trouble my concubine!" Wang Gangquan bowed directly to the end.

After that, the mother and son began to chat about interesting things that happened in the capital recently, one of which even Wang Bingquan would be surprised when he heard it.

Lu Xiaoxian of Guanghan Building actually closed the door and moved out during his absence.

Wang Gingquan couldn't help being a little bit surprised when he heard this, relying on his friendship with the other party, even if he wanted to leave, he still had to say hello to him.

Unless, what forced him to leave so urgently.

Could it be because of the incident with the queen mother?
It seems necessary to inquire with Nie Yingxue.

Knowing that Lu Xiaoxian left the capital in a hurry, Wang Bingquan had no intention of chatting anymore. Concubine Yang Guifei, as a mother, could tell that the kid was absent-minded just by looking at her.

So he waved his hand and said: "If you have something to do, hurry up and leave, I will make an appointment with other empresses in a while."

"Then, the boy will leave first."

Wang Gangquan didn't write any ink, he hastily gave a salute and left.

After leaving the palace, he didn't go back to his house, and hurried towards the Ministry of Punishment. He always felt that the Queen Mother's matter was not so easy to settle, and the emperor might not be willing to let Lu Xiaoxian go.

When he arrived at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he happened to meet an acquaintance.

This man is full of flesh and looks like a fat man from a distance, but when he gets close, he feels a sense of pressure for no reason.There was even a natural grin on his face.

This person is Duan Kun, Fatty Duan, who is in charge of Xing Prison.

Wang Gangquan recognized the other party at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask:
"Director Duan, is God Arrestor Nie inside?"

"you are?"

Duan Kun was suspicious at first, but immediately recognized the other party, and his face immediately changed from a grin to flattery, "My lord, God arrest Nie is not in the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"Not here? Where did she go?"

"This, the villain doesn't know."

"Is Zhongli here?"

"Here I am."

"it is good."

After Wang Gangquan finished speaking, he planned to go in, but at this moment, Duan Kun stopped him.

"Wait a minute, my lord, Zhongli Shenchuang doesn't know what Nie Shenchuang is doing."

"what?"

Wang Gangquan turned his head, somewhat disbelieving, Duan Kun explained quickly upon seeing this:
"A few days ago, after Nie Shenchuang left a letter of resignation, he disappeared. Zhong Shenchuang searched everywhere for several days, but found nothing."

disappeared?
Wang Gingquan felt more and more strange, first it was Lu Xiaoxian, and now it was Nie Yingxue, if there was no connection between them, Wang Gingquan would not believe it.

Could it be that they had an affair and eloped?
After coming up with this unreliable answer, he shook his head again. Both of them had no father or mother, and no one stopped them. Why did they run away.

Wang Gangquan frowned and thought all the way, and before he knew it, he had already reached the gate of the palace.

At this moment, Xiao Chunzi moved a chair and was lying in the yard basking in the sun. There were maids around him rubbing his shoulders and beating his legs from time to time, and there was also a maid who brought peeled grapes to his mouth.

Xiao Chunzi squinted her eyes to enjoy the treatment, and didn't feel anything wrong with the atmosphere.

Wang Gingquan, who was originally a little irritable, couldn't help showing a weird face when he saw this scene. It was really a tiger who was not at home and a monkey called the king. He was a dignified prince who would not dare to be so extravagant.
