Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 244 The panicked Xiao Yuehou had a secret conversation with Ji Tian

Ling Buhuo returned to his home with a relaxed look. As soon as Shao Shang saw him coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "How do you feel about going to court on the first day, husband?"

"I can't describe this feeling. It doesn't seem to be a big deal. It's just listening to what they say. There is still a gap between it and what I expected." Ling Buhuo said with a smile.

"That's good, husband. You can still go to court now. My father is not even qualified to go to court now. Compared with him, you are already very good." Shaoshang comforted him.

"Haha, madam, after hearing what you said, I feel much better. Speaking of father-in-law, do you think we should go back?" Ling Buhuo said gently.

"Well, that's fine. I haven't been back for a long time anyway." Shaoshang said

"Then it's settled, we'll go back tomorrow." Ling Buhuo said directly

But when the couple was discussing how to return home in fine clothes, Xiao Yuehou was not in such a good mood.

"What did you say? Ling Buyi was investigating me? How did you know?" Xiao Yuehou said in shock

"Master Hou, this was also reported by outside informants. They said that the Liang brothers were inquiring about news about our Hou Mansion. They would definitely not have done this without Ling Buyi's permission."

After hearing what his confidant said, Xiao Yuehou became a little flustered. After all, his family knew about his family affairs. If anyone else checked on him, he would naturally not take it seriously.

But now it's Ling Buyi. There is only one possibility for him to target himself, and that is to investigate the incident back then. He did something wrong back then, and now the lonely ghosts of the Huo family have come to visit him.

"Go and inform the people below to keep an eye on the Liang brothers. Also, tell the restless people in the house to stay calm recently and not cause trouble."

"If they fall into Ling Buyi's hands at this time, don't blame me for destroying relatives out of justice!" Xiao Yuehou said

The next day soon came, and Ling Buhuo, who was supposed to return to the Cheng family, appeared in the imperial study room. He was called over after leaving the court.

"Zi Chen is here, tell me, what did you tell Zi Sheng yesterday?" Emperor Wen asked directly

"Back to Your Majesty, my eldest brother guessed that I might be hiding something, so I had no choice but to tell my eldest brother that I suspected Xiao Yuehou." Ling Buhuo bowed and said.

"Huh? I just asked, why did Zi Sheng move so fast? It turned out to be you." Emperor Wen nodded.

"Ah? Your Majesty, has my eldest brother already started?" Ling Buhuo asked.

"Huh? Don't you know?" Emperor Wen asked strangely

"Your Majesty, I really don't know. After my eldest brother knew what your Majesty asked me to do, he didn't trust me in this matter. He said he would investigate it himself." Ling Buhuo said.

"Hey, Zi Sheng still has such a bad temper. Okay, you can step back. By the way, in three days I plan to go to Tu Gaoshan to worship heaven. You can take your wife with me." Emperor Wen said.

After hearing this, Ling Buhuo bowed directly and then exited the imperial study. After he left, Emperor Wen directly called Jiang Chong in.

"Zi Sheng has been eyeing Xiao Yuehou recently. Go and retrieve the archives and find a way to cover up the more serious matters." Emperor Wen said directly.

Jiang Chong naturally did not dare to have any different opinions, so he bowed again and then retreated.

After everyone left, Emperor Wen said to himself, "Zisheng, Zisheng, when will you understand my painstaking efforts? It is not easy for me to be the emperor."

Originally, if it was the past, he would definitely talk to his beloved concubine now, but today because Xiao Yuehou was involved, he obviously had no such intention.

So he chose to go straight to Changqiu Palace. Although he knew that the queen was boring, it was better than holding it in alone, right?

After Ling Buhuo returned to his room, he said directly, "Madam, I'm back, let's go."

"Well, husband, don't worry now. Is there nothing wrong with calling you?" Shaoshang asked worriedly.

"It's nothing serious. I just want to ask what I told my eldest brother yesterday. Also, in three days, His Majesty is going to Tu Gaoshan to worship heaven. Let us accompany him." Ling Buhuo said.

"Ah? Going to Tu Gaoshan? Are there many people here?" Shaoshang said

"Of course there are more. This kind of thing has happened before. Your Majesty is going to worship heaven, but we are actually just going to have fun, so don't be burdened and just treat it as an outing." Ling Buhuo said

"Oh, that's good, that's good. I thought, I thought, let's leave quickly. Are we coming back at night?" Shaoshang urged.

Ling Buhuo just smiled after hearing this, and then went to change his clothes. Then the couple got into the carriage and went straight to Cheng's house.

Regarding their arrival, the Cheng family was very solemn. After all, Ling Buhuo was completely different from before, and his previous status could still be considered equal.

But now, now it is completely unequal, so naturally we cannot neglect it.

After a few words of greeting in front of the door, they went straight into the house. Shao Shangzi went to find her cousin, while Ling Buhuo started chatting with Cheng Shi.

"Taishan, I haven't been in the capital for a long time. I wonder if anything big will happen in the capital?" Ling Buhuo said.

"There are no big things, but there are quite a few small things, but they have nothing to do with us. Didn't Your Majesty promise the fifth princess to the young master of the Xiao Yuehou family before?"

"The fifth princess has recruited a lot of staff to her house. This move has aroused the dissatisfaction of Xiaoyue Hou. Therefore, this matter was the most lively thing in the capital before." Cheng Shidao

Ling Buhuo nodded after hearing this, and then said, "Taishan, the capital may not be peaceful recently. Please ask your family to be careful. As for the specific reason, don't ask. I can't say."

Cheng Shi's face tightened when he heard this, and then he nodded. But at this time, Shaoshang didn't have much to do. She was busy chatting with her brothers and cousins.

The family gathered together and after having a happy meal, Ling Buhuo and his wife took the carriage directly back to the Hou Mansion.

On the way back, Ling Buhuo said, "Madam, you haven't been this happy for a long time, right?"

"No way, I am, I am." Shaoshang defended

"Okay madam, I didn't say anything else. Isn't this normal? You will inevitably be lonely when I'm not around, so actually if you want to go back and have a look, you can do it at any time." Ling Buhuo said

After hearing this, Shaoshang got directly into his husband's arms, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious for a while.

But at this time, Ling Buyi was not so happy.

"Young Lord, this is what happened. Xiao Yuehou's reaction was very intense. We can't find anything useful at all now." Liang Qiuqi said.

"It doesn't matter, all this is within my expectation, but I didn't expect his reaction to be so big. Next, you will continue to investigate him on the surface, and secretly investigate the cavalry general for me." Ling Buyi road

"What? Young Master, are you talking about the Wang family? Are they also?" Liang Qiufei said in surprise

"Just say a few words, and you will do whatever the young lord says. Don't ask anything else." Liang Qiu said.

Liang Qiufei then remembered that he had said something he shouldn't have said again, so he quickly shut up.

The time soon came to the third day, which was also the day when His Majesty set out to worship heaven. Ling Buhuo took his wife and headed for the city gate in a carriage.

It is worth mentioning that this time, because there was no influence from Ling Buyi, the Cheng family was not of a high level, so they were not qualified to go to Tu Gaoshan together.

The group of people walked all morning before they arrived at the place. After the couple arrived at the tent, Ling Buhuo said, "Madam, there are too many female relatives this time, so I can't accompany you during the day."

"Don't worry, husband, I can take care of myself. Besides, have you forgotten the princess? Who dares to bully me with her?" Shao Shang said with a smile.

"Okay, well, then, I have to go out and deal with it. Madam, get ready." Ling Buhuo said that he was dealing with it, but in fact, His Majesty took them to worship the sky, and this requires Taichang Temple to make unified arrangements and their positions. And everything else must be arranged in advance.

After an afternoon of arrangements, it was finally done, so after deciding to hold a memorial ceremony for tomorrow, everyone dispersed and returned to their respective tents.

But the female relatives were different. They were not needed when offering sacrifices to heaven, so some impatient ones had already started to turn around that afternoon.

Naturally, Wan Qiqi was among them, and since Wan Qiqi started wandering around, it was natural to call Shao Shang, so the two of them wandered around for the whole afternoon.

"Madam, why do I feel that you are more tired than me? What did you do in the afternoon?" Ling Buyu asked.

"What else can I do? I finally got out and walked around, but Sister Qiqi is really good at shopping, so I'm a little tired." Shaoshang said with a smile.

"Oh, madam, please stop moving. I'll relax your muscles and bones, husband." After saying that, Shao Shang started to act directly without waiting for a reply.

This was considered normal at first, and it was indeed loosening the muscles and bones, but later it became less normal.

Time soon came to the next day, and the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven officially began.

And when the heaven-sacrifice ceremony was held, the female relatives started their performances. Some were directly at odds with each other, some were forced to be at odds with each other, and some were pretending to be sisters and were doing things behind their backs.

Shao Shang watched in amazement. She had never seen such a big show before. Because her status was different now and she had the support of the princess, Wang Jiao did not dare to cause trouble for her.

By noon, the heaven-sacrifice ceremony was finally over. Ling Buhuo saw his wife in the tent and started chatting.

"Suddenly no one bothers me anymore, I'm still a little uncomfortable with it." Shaoshang said

"Madam, what do you want me to say about you? Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Now we are done with the business, and we will probably stay here for a few more days." Ling Buhuo said.

"That's pretty good. Husband, what are you going to do?" Shaoshang said.

"According to past practice, there should be hunting tomorrow, and it is estimated that there will be no changes this time, so we will probably hunt tomorrow." Ling Buhuo said

Shaoshang nodded after hearing this and said nothing more.

At the same time, Ling Buyi received a letter. After seeing the content, his expression tightened. But he soon returned to normal, and then he disposed of the letter.

The next day soon came. The men were indeed hunting. When Ling Buhuo set off, he stared at his eldest brother. Sure enough, nothing changed.

Since he knew that things had not changed, he naturally would not follow directly. After all, if he crashed directly, an accident would probably occur in the excitement, and he would not take this risk.

So he chose to wait on the only way back. After half an hour, Ling Buyi slowly came down from the tower, mounted his horse and walked back.

Not long after he walked out, he saw Ling Buhuo looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile. Ling Busuo's expression suddenly changed when he saw this, because he knew that the matter was exposed.

At this time, his mind was racing, and various thoughts flashed through his mind. In the end, he gave up. Then he slowly dismounted, then walked forward and said, "It seems we have to have a good talk."

"Haha, it's all up to the big brother, but this doesn't seem to be the place to talk? I think we should leave as soon as possible to avoid being delayed for a long time, which would be bad." Ling Buhuo said

Ling Buhuo didn't say anything after hearing this, but directly mounted his horse, and then continued to move forward. When Ling Buhuo saw this, he naturally also mounted his horse and followed closely behind.

The two people who returned to the camp did not say anything about it. They seemed to have forgotten it. Not only did they not say it today, but they also did not say it in the next few days.

It was not until the day after returning to the city that Ling Buhuo walked into the former general's mansion after the dynasty was over.

"Tell me, when did you find out?" Ling Buyi said directly.

"Brother, there are some things you can hide from others, but you can't hide them from me. Although you have been helping the prince on the surface over the years, in fact this is not the case."

"Actually, I had no doubts at first, but later I discovered that the Crown Princess's family often did mischief, but no one was punished."

"I knew at that time that the person you chose was definitely not him, because he would not have the courage to avenge you. Even if the evidence is conclusive, the most he can do is leave it alone."

"What happened to Lou Ben later made me even more convinced of this. It was with this suspicion that I found out some clues." Ling Buhuo said

"Haha, now that you know everything, what else is there to say? What are your plans?" Ling Busuo asked.

"Brother, actually you don't need to be on guard against me. My status today is all thanks to you. I will naturally help you do whatever you want to do."

"What's more, this is about the future emperor, my future glory and wealth, how can I not treat it carefully?" Ling Buhuo said.

"Haha, what you said is true, but how do you expect me to believe you?" Ling Busuo said.

"Brother, this matter couldn't be simpler. Although I don't know what you said before, one thing is definitely the key."

"As we all know, His Highness the Crown Prince's right-hand men are you and Tai Fu Lou respectively. Now that you have become a member of the third prince's side, the trouble will naturally only be with Tai Fu Lou." Ling Buhuo said.

"Huh? Could it be that you can solve it?" Ling Bu doubted

"Brother is joking, how can I be so capable? However, I can make him have no time to take care of the prince and provide you with a convenient door." Ling Buhuo said
