Live up to the country

"A beauty is a disaster!" The Tai Tuo stroked his beard and sighed deeply.

"Master Taifu! We have met the princess, she is kind and gentle, she will not harm Xiling." Wuyou walked to Taifu and said.Yunshang and Ni'er Xiaohui also nodded vigorously.

"Maybe she doesn't want to be a disaster herself, but her fate will force her to do it! Once she enters the palace, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles. For the sake of our Great Xiling, I can't spare the benevolence of a woman!" The Taifu's tone was firm, without any Room for negotiation.

"Master Taifu!" Wuyou was in a hurry, and hugged Taifu's arm.

"Let me handle this matter. You don't have to do it yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you. You all rest for a while. I will go to the palace to meet the emperor first." Tai Tuo patted Wuyou's hand and went straight gone.

After Sima Taifu entered the palace, he found out that the emperor was reading a book in the Ganlu Hall, so he tremblingly came to the Ganlu Hall with the dragon head crutches bestowed by the former emperor.

"Master Sima is here!" The eunuch announced, and walked over to help him into the hall.

"The old minister pays homage to the emperor." Taifu Sima bowed to pay homage, and was supported by Liu Hongjing. "Teacher, you are not in good health, why did you come into the palace again?"

Taifu Sima glanced at the eunuchs in the hall, the eunuchs understood, bowed their heads and stepped back, closing the door smoothly.

"Your Majesty! The old minister has news from His Highness the Crown Prince!" Taifu Sima waited for everyone to go out, and excitedly grabbed Liu Hongjing's arm.

Liu Hongjing's tiger eyes widened: "Is there any news about Fan'er? Is he alive or dead?"

"His Royal Highness is on his way back to Beijing, the Emperor will send the imperial guards to welcome His Highness back to the palace." After Sima Taifu finished speaking, he was already in tears.

"Great! Fan'er is not dead! Great! Ruoxi! It must be your spirit in heaven who protects Fan'er! Fan'er is fine, and I finally feel at ease!" It's bloodshot.

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report to the Emperor." Taifu Sima told Liu Hongjing about Dong Ling's poisoning of Luo Lianyi, but concealed the truth about the cinnabar mole between her eyebrows.

After hearing this, Liu Hongjing laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Qi Yu underestimates the emperor too much! How can a mere woman mess up my Great Xiling? Hahaha—kill! Not to mention the number one beauty in Dongling , even if a fairy descends to earth, she will never move my heart!"

"Follow the order!" Taifu Sima led the order.

"Decide my will, prepare the car quickly, and I will go out of the palace to welcome the prince back."

"Follow the decree." The old matriarch came out of the Ganlu Hall and passed down the emperor's decree.Just at this moment, Duanmu Chun, Minister of the Ministry of War, hurried over. "Master Taifu." When he saw the old matriarch, he stopped and saluted.

"Master Shangshu." The old lady Fu clasped his fists in return, and walked away step by step on crutches without talking to him.

"See the emperor." Duanmu Chun entered the hall to bow and pay respects after the eunuch informed him.

"Pingshen." Liu Hongjing said calmly with a book in his hand.There has been no war recently, and he has nothing important to think about.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is about to enter the city." Duanmu Chun reported.

"Well, you arrange people to take him back to the palace." Liu Hongjing didn't even lift his head.

"Follow the order." Duanmu Chun got up from the ground and retreated.

He walked around the winding veranda and was stopped by Eunuch Tong beside a rockery.

"Eunuch Tong, the lower officials are looking for you." Duanmu Chun looked around and said in a low voice, "Go and report to your empress, His Royal Highness is coming to Beijing." After he finished speaking, he left. It is necessary to avoid suspicion with the eunuchs in the palace, and it is inconvenient to communicate too closely.

When Eunuch Tong got the news, he trotted all the way to Qingning Palace.

"Empress is overjoyed!" He was still outside the hall, so he couldn't wait to announce the good news.

Duanmu Yunji was taking a nap on the soft couch, after hearing his good news, she hurriedly sat up and asked, "Has Huo'er entered Beijing?"

"Immediately enter Beijing. The old slave just came from the palace gate and saw Jin Yiwei preparing horses for the emperor. Later, he met Lord Shangshu outside the Ganlu Hall. The adult told me that His Royal Highness is about to enter Beijing. The old slave guessed that the emperor wanted to Go and greet His Majesty!"

"Really?! You said that the emperor is going to greet Huo'er in person? That's great! That's great!" Duanmu Yunji's voice trembled with excitement.

"It's true! Your Majesty is overjoyed!" Eunuch Tong smiled obsequiously.

"Is there any news about that one?" Duanmu Yunji suddenly lowered her face.

"The people we sent went down the cliff to search, and saw a bottomless lake below the cliff. Most of the crown prince and the Dongling princess sank to the bottom of the lake to be eaten by fish. Please don't worry, ma'am, they fell from such a high place. Go on, unless there are gods to help, no one can come back alive." Tong Gong said.

"Well, very good." A smile finally appeared on Duanmu Yunji's face. "Come on, quickly change this palace's clothes. I have to go to the gate of the palace to meet His Royal Highness." She ordered the maid.

After a while, she had changed into a golden gown embroidered with nine phoenixes, her hair bun was set off by imperial phoenix hairpins, decorated with broken beads and tassels, and soft gold gauze was wrapped around her arms.She admired herself in the mirror, her beautiful face was still the same, but there was no one to admire her, and she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"Your Majesty, please!" Eunuch Tong bowed and stood beside her in a shrill voice.

"Has the emperor set off?" She turned around and asked.

"It's time to start." Eunuch Tong replied.

"Oh, let's go." She sighed, and stretched out her hand to be supported by Eunuch Tong.

When a group of people passed the Xianglong Bridge in the front hall, just as the emperor and his party came hurriedly from the veranda, Duanmu Yunji stopped hurriedly with a happy expression on her face.

"The concubine pays homage to the emperor." She pays homage with all blessings.

"Excuse me." Liu Hongjing didn't even stop, and strode past her with a wave of his hand.

"Your Majesty! The concubine will go with you to welcome Huo'er back to the palace." Duanmu Yunji hurriedly turned around, without caring about her status, she chased behind Liu Hongjing and said loudly.

Liu Hongjing stopped in his tracks, turned his head and said calmly, "I'm not going to catch the fire, I'm going to take the crown prince back to the palace."

"Prince?!" Duanmu Yunji's eyes darkened and she almost fainted.

"Hmph, are you disappointed?" Liu Hongjing smiled coldly, and walked away surrounded by guards.

Duanmu Yunji watched him walk away, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

"Your Majesty." Eunuch Tong called out from beside him tremblingly.

"Slap!" Duanmu Yunji slapped Eunuch Tong's face heavily, and five bloodstains appeared on his old, bloodless face.

There was complete silence in the veranda, and all the eunuchs and court ladies beside Duanmu Yunji held their breaths and lowered their eyebrows.

"Let's go! I still have to welcome Huo'er back to the palace!" Duanmu Yunji yelled sharply.

"My lady, please." Eunuch Tong's face was swollen, but he didn't dare to show any grievances. He bowed over and held Duanmu Yunji's arm, and the group continued to walk towards the palace gate.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the emperor's mighty team had already meandered out of the palace, and another team led by Duanmu Chun waited for the emperor to go far before preparing to go out.He only slightly ordered 200 people, and the emperor walked ahead, so how could he dare to show off and show off.
