After the rebirth

Chapter 111 Chapter 111
In the afternoon, Hua Yanbai slept for an extra hour, and when he woke up, he found that the sky was a bit dark, thinking that he had really slept until the evening.

"If this rain can fall, the weather will probably gradually turn cold." Xu Wu waited for his master to get up, and said.

"Where's my father? Why didn't the little one come over?" Hua Yanbai stretched his waist and asked casually.

My father-in-law probably won't be able to go to lecture until the day after tomorrow, and he probably hasn't left the house after the lunch break.

"The master went to the study after his lunch break, the madam has been taking care of the sleeping second young master, and the old madam is also resting in the Xiang'an courtyard." Xu Wu returned one by one.

"That little one can sleep better than me!" Hua Yanbai chuckled, she slept a little longer because she was thinking about meeting guests at night, that little one is probably really tired.

That's how kids are supposed to be!

Hua Yanbai guessed that at least she should be able to see the fourth prince tonight, but she didn't realize it. She actually waited all night in vain. At the end, she didn't feel sleepy at all, only full of doubts.

Not only did Situ Ang not come, even the expected fourth prince didn't come, and he didn't even ask Ji Lin or anyone to send a letter!

Looking at the whitening sky, Hua Yanbai suddenly felt illusory. If Xuwu was not still by her side, she would have thought that she was the only one left in this world!
"Master?" Seeing his dull face, Xu Wu called in a low voice with some uncertainty.

"What happened?" Hua Yanbai slowly turned his head, staring blankly at Xu Wu, "Is there any news?"

"No." Xu Wu frowned and shook her head, she was also very puzzled.

However, my master's reaction...

The master and servant were looking at each other silently and suspiciously, when suddenly, the voice of Xiao Wuzi rang out from outside.

"Master, someone is here." Little Wuzi said like this.

"Xu Wu, you go." Hua Yan frowned and said.

"Yes." Xu Wu nodded, went out, and soon brought a person in.

"Master." The visitor was dressed in black, even wearing a veil, making it difficult to see clearly. However, when he saw Hua Yanbai sitting cross-legged on the soft couch, he knelt down on one knee and saluted respectfully.

"What's the matter?" Hua Yan's white eyes darkened, and his tone became a little cold.

"My lord, since the time of midnight last night, the emperor began to pass the princes outside the palace into the palace one after another. Later, it was said that several elders and the filial prince entered the palace. When the hour came, the palace gates were closed. Now, the commander-in-chief personally led people to guard it, and now, the palace is like an iron pass, and the news cannot be delivered." The man lowered his head, but reported clearly.

"Why is there no news at all?" Hua Yanbai felt wrong.

"Martial law in the palace, now there is not even a trace of news, presumably the emperor issued a gag order." The man paused and spoke.

"Last night, before midnight, what news came out?" After a while, Hua Yanbai asked slowly.

"Except that the emperor uploaded the prince to talk for a while, there seems to be nothing else." The man returned hesitantly, "As for that Uncle Cheng Guo, he left the palace at noon and returned to the Cheng residence."

"Have you finished talking to the prince?" Hua Yanbai frowned, and asked suspiciously, "What's unusual about the emperor?"

"Master, after that, the emperor never left the imperial study, so it's not easy to investigate the situation inside." The man returned with a trace of nervousness.

"In the past few days, where's Lin Cheng? Where's Situ Ang?" Hua Yanbai thought of these two figures, and only then did he think of asking people to check Situ Ang's whereabouts, but he hasn't replied yet.

"Master, three days ago, before you and the fourth prince came back, Lin Cheng was sent by the emperor to leave the capital, and the brothers followed carefully. If there is no accident, Lin Cheng should have gone to the north."

"As for Situ Ang," the man seemed to hesitate, "Recently Commander Situ Da has been busy mobilizing the defense of Miyagi, and he has never left the palace."

"However, master, you know the skills of the great commander. Several times, the brothers lost their way. Each time it took about two to three quarters of an hour. I'm not sure what he did during those times."

After Hua Yanbai listened, he fell into deep thought. The man carefully raised his head to look at Xu Wu, feeling even more uneasy.

"Lin Cheng is going to the northern border at this time?" After a while, Hua Yanbai took a deep breath and murmured, "Or was it sent by the emperor?"

Even if the emperor's plan is over and he wants to start to get rid of the Cheng family, isn't that the way to divide?

"Back down first, and order everyone not to move rashly." Hua Yanbai looked at the kneeling person and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, this subordinate obeys!" The man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "This subordinate will leave."

"Xu Wu, I think he's playing tricks!" Hua Yan frowned, and said in a somewhat erratic tone.

"Who? The master is talking about the emperor?" Xu Wu was stunned for a while, looking at her in confusion.

"There must be something going on in the palace, but will that incident really make him go to such lengths to seal off Miyagi?" Hua Yanbai nodded with a puzzled look on his face.

"Master, did you think about it?" Xu Wu shuddered, "What did you think about?"

Xu Wu felt a little relieved in her heart, and she expected that even if her master was not exhaustive, she would deduce something based on the news.

"I think I understand, his purpose of getting rid of Empress Cheng, but, according to what I know about him, he should borrow other people's hands to do this, why would he do it himself?" Hua Yanbai stretched his legs Open, sitting for half a night, already a little numb.

Seeing her rubbing her legs, a smile flashed across Xu Wu's eyes, he stepped forward and knelt down to help her rub together.

After rubbing twice, Xu Wu suddenly stopped, looked up at the person in front of him in surprise.

"Master, the emperor wants to abolish the crown prince?"

"It should be!" Hua Yanbai pursed his lips, sighed, and nodded.

"It's just that the behavior of the emperor is too unpredictable. Besides, to depose the prince, you need to get rid of the queen first. Do you still need to seal Miyagi?"

"Maybe it's because of that empress dowager?" Xu Wu said hesitantly.

"You mean, the substitute is the Empress Dowager, not a member of the Cheng family?" Hua Yan Bairuo realized, "But, so what can we do?"

"Deposing the prince will not achieve the goal of getting rid of the Cheng family, let alone get rid of the queen mother. I don't think he has any evidence to prove that the substitute is the queen mother." Hua Yanbai analyzed in a low voice while thinking.

"Master, there is no confirmation of whether someone has arranged for the prince to be a substitute!" Xu Wu was full of black lines, she only said one sentence, and her master followed suit.

No matter what, it must be confirmed that there is a substitute for the prince, so that the following things are possible, right?
"No!" Xu Wu thought, but saw that the person in front of him stood up, the color of his eyes had changed, and he looked a little fierce.

"Remember my guesses about the prince when we were in southern Xinjiang?" Hua Yanbai looked down at her and asked sarcastically.

"Remember." Xu Wu stood up slowly and nodded.

"Maybe, some people want to hide deeper?" Hua Yanbai raised his eyebrows and sneered.

Xu Wu pursed her lips tightly, where did her master's thoughts jump again?She couldn't understand it at all!
"Fourth prince!" Hua Yanbai squinted his eyes and sneered.
