Chapter 525 Imprisonment
It was General Fan who spoke. Seeing the question from the Empress, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Return to the Emperor, it is King Zhenxi who guards the northwest, the Northwest Marshal of our country."

"King Zhenxi?"

Knowing that the Empress had lost her memory, a minister explained, "The Emperor Hui is the King Zhenxi. He is one of the three kings with different surnames personally conferred by the Emperor Taizu of the Kingdom."

The Chu family, the Xiao family, and the Rong family.

The king of Zhenxi guards the border all year round, and his family is not in the capital. He only returns to Beijing at the end of each year to report on his duties, and then rushes back to the border after the New Year meal.

This prince with a different surname is different from the other two princes.

The Rong family has never participated in the struggle for imperial power, and he obeys whoever is the emperor.

Moreover, since the establishment of the monarchy, they have been guarding the northwest border.

One third of the military power of the monarchy is in the Chu family, one third is in the Xiao family and Xiahou's family, and the other third is in the Rong family.

But now, the military power of Chu, Xiao, and Xiahou can be said to be in the hands of Chu Bei.

Therefore, Chu Bei is the god of war in the kingdom, and King Rong is the gatekeeper of the kingdom.

King Rong also has a daughter who is known as a strange woman. She is the only female general in the kingdom. She is rumored to be brave and good at fighting. She has been familiar with military books since she was a child. The first female general of the kingdom.

In addition to this daughter, King Rong has three sons who are highly skilled in martial arts, and all of them are brave and good at fighting.

It is said that none of the three sons and one daughter are married, and they plan to go back to Beijing with Prince Rong this year to report on their duties. Firstly, to meet the new emperor, and secondly, to return to solve the life-long affairs of the children. This year, they will stay longer than in previous years. Bar.

Because although the Rong family is in the northwest, they have always married the daughters of famous families in the capital, the sons of the rich and powerful, and without exception, they have to go to the northwest to live with them.

After listening, Mu Wan raised her eyebrows and was a little curious about the family, "Well, when will Zhenxi Wang's family return to Beijing?"

"Back to the emperor, the first month of the twelfth lunar month."

It's only the end of October, and there's still more than a month to go, so it's still early.

...

After talking about this, Mu Wan originally planned to disperse the court, but it was a minister who said, "Report to the emperor, I have something to report."

Mu Wan glanced at the minister a little depressed, and looked carefully, it turned out to be Mr. Zhou.

"Say, what's the matter?"

Elder Zhou respectfully handed over a booklet, and said, "My Majesty, Qinglong Mountain is infested with bandits. They often rob people, rob military pay, and rob passing court officials. I implore the Emperor to issue an order to suppress bandits."

Everyone lowered their eyes and secretly glanced at Mr. Zhou.

This question has been asked many times before, and the Empress prevaricates it many times, obviously she has no intention of suppressing the bandits, why is Master Zhou so ignorant? !
Concubine Yun was punished in the palace a few days ago, could it be that he didn't know?

The son is not favored in the harem, so he has to be a man with his tail clamped.

I don't understand this simple truth, it's really in vain that he is the son of Mrs. Zhou.

What a shrewd person Old Madam Zhou is, why did he have such a stupid son?
The empress didn't speak, her face was unhappy, "This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, let's go away if you have nothing to do."

Master Zhou did not give up, "Your Majesty...the bandits from Qinglong Mountain are arrogant and commit all kinds of evil. They are fish and meat people. Your Majesty, you want to get rid of them in the name of you!"

Mu Wan's eyes darkened slightly, "I said I will take a long-term plan, but I didn't say that I won't eliminate harm for the people. What are you talking about? Since you want to eliminate harm for the people so much, how about you lead the army to suppress the bandits?"

Elder Zhou's face turned red, and he was embarrassed, "Your Majesty, I am a civil servant, and I am not good at leading troops to fight."

"Then what are you talking about so much? I said it is a long-term plan. I have my own opinion. Didn't you understand?"

"The emperor calms down..."

"Hmph, disperse."

Mu Wan didn't bother to talk to him, and left with a flick of her dragon robe.

After coming to court, he came to Suzaku Hall to have dinner with Chu Bei.

It was rare that Situ Mo, Xiao Ci, and Xia Houjin were all there.

They seem to be used to eating together.

"I have seen the emperor before."

Seeing the empress, several people hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Looking at the pleasing young man, the corners of the Empress's lips could not help but curl up, "No."

The breakfast was very rich, but they were all injured, so they could only drink some light bird's nest porridge.

These things are all prepared for the queen.

I saw that she took two slices of warm-fried and toasted bread, spread some peanut and sesame sauce on them, and put a piece of ham sausage, and ate it with a glass of fresh milk.

After eating a mouthful of bread and a mouthful of milk, when it was over, I picked up a jade plate, which contained hot dry noodles, served with a half-cooked fried egg, and decorated with green vegetables. It was very delicate and beautiful, and it was appetizing at first glance. Wide open.

Then I saw her holding a specially made knife and fork, eating gracefully.

They knew that the empress called it western food, so at first they thought it was Xiqi's way of eating.

Unexpectedly, it was just her own idea.

She usually eats this for breakfast.

This scene was particularly pleasing to the eye. Situ Mo and the others watched as Chu Bei gracefully picked up the knife and fork to eat noodles from the jade plate.

He often dined with the empress, and learned her strange way of eating early on.

Looking at the two of them, the three teenagers looked down at their plates, and couldn't help picking up the tableware to follow them.

...

After breakfast, the three of Situ Mo felt very good. They wiped their mouths gracefully with a white brocade handkerchief, and said, "This western food is really good. Why don't we open a restaurant like this in the capital?"

Mu Wan paused with the hand holding the bread, and said with some annoyance, "We'll see next year, we have to wait until we find Su Ran."

Now all of them are busy with training, and their field of expertise is not business.

In terms of business acumen, Su Ran is a rare business genius.

If she wants to expand her business scope, she needs the help of people like Su Ran.

Speaking of Su Ran, the four of them looked at each other, feeling a little melancholy and dark in their hearts. They don't know where he went. So far, there is no clue. At least give them a message so they don't worry.

The few were melancholy in the palace, missing Su Ran and Su Li, and worried that something would happen to them.

...

What they didn't know was that the two were actually in the capital, but they were imprisoned in a small hidden farm on the outskirts of the capital. They were guarded day and night and were not allowed to leave.

On the farm, it was snowing heavily outside the window.

Su Ran took the cloak and put it on a girl, "Don't look, they are in the dark, we can't run away."

He said and hugged her lightly.

Su Li, dressed as a girl, leaned against his arms and sighed, "I don't know how the foster mother is doing."

The empress posted an announcement to tell the world that they had known that the Su family was under house arrest, and life and death were on the line.

If they don't confess their crimes again, I'm afraid that the empress will kill the whole family of the Su family in a fit of anger.

Su Ran comforted, "The empress is a wise king, she won't be so cruel."

He believed that Mu Wan would not do this, and there would be nothing wrong with Chu Bei and the Su family.

But they can't stay here forever.

They don't know who these people are.

It's really strange not to kill them, but to put them under house arrest, and to provide them with delicious food and drink.

They couldn't figure out what the purpose of the people behind it was.

In this remote and remote place, it is impossible to contact Chu Bei and the others.

There is only such a farm within a few hundred miles.

Living here is actually not bad, but I always have to go back and give an explanation, and I can't worry my relatives and friends.

But now they are imprisoned, as if isolated from the world.

The two leaned together and looked at Xue Hua, a little depressed.

And at this moment, there was a sound of fighting outside.

The hearts of the two tightened, could it be that someone came to save them?

Thinking about it, they picked up the long swords and bundles on the table and prepared to go out to have a look. At this time, a black man kicked open the door, and came over when he saw two people.

Murderous, obviously coming to kill them.
