Mo Beizhi's eyes moved slightly: "Indeed, in addition to the three of them, there is another one, his name is Leng Yan, but I don't know where he went..."
Jiang Feng, Fei Liu, Huo Dao, and Leng Yan were all the most loyal secret guards around him.
After he lost power three years ago, the four of them could not escape death. It was he who drove the four of them away, leaving them alive.
Huo Dao had been working around the prince, and he knew that he wanted to die. Huo Dao was not sent by him, but Huo Dao was the most stubborn and tolerant one.
Even though he had given up, Huo Dao stayed by the prince's side just to wait for him to make a comeback one day.
As for Leng Yan, he has not appeared yet.
...
As soon as the person in prison died, the news reached the emperor's ears.
In the imperial study room, the emperor sat in front of the desk, his eyes a little cold: "There is no need to investigate this matter, I already know it."
The chief eunuch asked: "Your Majesty, how do you want the fourth princess to explain?"
The emperor thought for a while and said, "Let her come to the court tomorrow to observe."
The eunuch's eyes were startled: "...Yes."
Early the next morning, the chief eunuch hurried to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to take Chu Yingluo into the palace.
Before Chu Yingluo woke up, her father-in-law called her to go to court. She yawned and asked sleepily: "Father-in-law, why did the emperor ask me to attend the important events in the court? I don't understand, can I not go? ?”
It feels like being forced to work.
The eldest eunuch was suddenly startled and said in a high voice.
"Hey, Fourth Princess, it is a supreme honor to be able to go to court and observe. You are the first person since the opening of the Yuan Dynasty."
Chu Yingluo frowned in disbelief.
"real?"
"Of course it's true."
The great eunuch talked about the incident in a very colorful way.
Chu Yingluo didn't think so. This emperor was always attentive to others, and he was either a traitor or a thief.
She touched her chin and thought, "Could it be the Hongmen Banquet?"
"..." The eunuch almost choked to death from her.
"Fourth Princess, you are a great hero of our Canglan Kingdom. The Emperor doesn't even have time to reward you. How could this be the Hongmen Banquet?"
Hearing what the chief eunuch said, Chu Yingluo felt relieved: "Then let's go."
The eldest eunuch exclaimed, and then said: "But the emperor has said that you can only listen and not talk. Remember, the fourth princess, don't speak until the emperor asks."
Chu Yingluo nodded lazily: "I understand."
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Chu Yingluo stood among a group of courtiers, and the surroundings exploded with discussions about Chu Yingluo's arrival.
Mo Lingxiao was even more surprised when he saw her appearing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He walked up to her and asked, "Why are you here?"
Chu Yingluo's eyes were wandering: "Of course you are here to go to court, why don't you come here to play?"
Mo Lingxiao paused and said kindly: "His Royal Highness just wants to remind you that this is not the place you should be. If you want to continue talking about the fourth child, we can resolve it privately."
Chu Yingluo laughed and said, "Isn't the prince afraid?"
Mo Lingxiao's face was calm: "No, I'm just worried that if you make things bigger and arouse public anger, no one will be able to step down. Now that the fourth child has lost power, no one will stand by him."
Chu Yingluo was too lazy to blame him: "The prince is too worried."
Mo Lingxiao wanted to say something more, but the emperor slowly walked up.
Everyone stopped talking immediately, and the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony was silent.
After the emperor sat on the dragon throne, the ministers saluted one after another: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."
Chu Yingluo also shouted after them.
"Everyone loves you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the emperor finished speaking, his sharp eyes roamed around the palace, and finally landed on Chu Yingluo's face, glanced at her, and then slowly moved away.
Next, it is time for the ministers to start their speeches. Officials from various places must respond to the situation of the people, and military commanders must respond to border issues.
Chu Yingluo felt tired just listening to their reports. The emperor had to deal with various government affairs every day, and also had to deal with three thousand beauties in the harem. From this point of view, being an emperor is quite hard...
Turning around, he found Mo Wenhuan taking a nap.
It's really hard for him. This guy doesn't look like he's the emperor.
On the other hand, Mo Lingxiao listened attentively, but the prince's ambition for the throne was unmatched by others.
At this time, a military minister said: "Your Majesty, the King of Fan has been burning, killing and looting on the border. He has made many provocations and is unscrupulous. The situation on the border is now unstable and we need to send people to suppress it as soon as possible."
The emperor said: "General Chu has not returned from the expedition. In your opinion, who is the most suitable person to send?"
The Minister of Military and Aircraft glanced at the prince, and then said: "Wei Chen feels that the prince is the most suitable candidate because he has both civil and military skills."
"Hey, that's not appropriate."
Another little old man waved his hand and said: "The prince assists the emperor in handling government affairs every day and works hard. He is also the prince. It is not appropriate for the prince to go on an expedition. Furthermore, back then, the prince was alone in the neighboring country for the sake of the security of the Canglan Kingdom. The country has suffered a lot and suffered a lot to ensure peace in the world..."
"The Minister's words are wrong."
The person who spoke was a first-grade bachelor. He was fat and had a smile on his face.
"Heaven is going to entrust this man with a great responsibility, and he must first work hard with his mind and body. It is for this reason that I feel that the prince has a strong character and is capable of taking on this great responsibility!"
Shangshu said stubbornly: "Even so, the prince cannot be allowed to take risks."
The bachelor said with a smile: "How can this be called an adventure? The prince is powerful in the world and is a pioneer. Could you find a more suitable candidate besides the prince?"
Hearing the commotion in the court, Mo Wenhuan, who was dozing off, suddenly became excited.
What... an expedition?
Mo Wenhuan glanced sideways and saw that no one was paying attention to him. He quickly took two steps back quietly and lowered his head for fear of being called out.
If he didn't go on a war mission like this, someone might die.
Because of the prince's expedition to quell cholera, the two parties were at loggerheads.
At this time, someone suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think we can send the Fourth Prince."
"Fourth Prince?"
Everyone turned to look at the person who spoke, and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Fourth Prince?"
"The fourth prince has been paralyzed in bed for a long time and cannot stand up. How can he, a useless prince, lead troops to fight? Young Master Guanglu Temple, are you kidding me?"
"When it comes to fighting, you can't just be naughty. If that's the case, you can go too..."
"Hahahahahaha..."
The young minister of Guanglu Temple's face turned blue and white.
A trace of displeasure flashed across the emperor's face, and he immediately asked: "Ai Qing, why do you want to send the fourth prince?"
