After Emperor Yonghua died, his body was placed in the Yuqing Hall of Taihe Palace, and Qin Xiaoyou took charge of the aftermath.
Although King Yun died, the capital city did not settle down. Xia Chengxuan felt that he could not control the overall situation, so he had to ask King Duan to come forward to appease all parties and clear all obstacles before ascending the throne.
At the second quarter of Xushi, after King Duan, Qin Xiaoyou, Ran Jieting, Rui Tuxian and Xia Chenghuan left the palace, Xia Chengxuan finally had a moment of free time and hurriedly called Lu Jianxing and asked, "Has Yiyi returned home?"
As soon as Xia Chengyi left the palace, the steward of Prince Jia's palace sent someone to deliver the news to the palace.
The Tianjia Palace has suffered several calamities these days, and the palace is filled with gloom and gloom. Today is the Qiao Qiao Festival. Xia Chengxuan felt sorry for his sister, so he silently agreed to this matter. He had been thinking about this matter since the time of application, but it happened that Qin Xiaoyou and Rui Tuxian had something to report after they came, so they delayed it. Only now did he have some free time.
"Your Majesty, I asked the palace officials to come to the palace every quarter of an hour to report news. At the beginning of Xushi, there has been no news that the princess has returned to the palace." Lu Jianxing reported respectfully, "At the second moment of Youshi, I sent more than 800 people to the palace. The government soldiers have gone to the outskirts of the city to look for you, Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
He could clearly feel that when he said that the princess had not returned yet, the crown prince's demeanor became messy, so he hurriedly added the next sentence.
"Then why didn't you come and report earlier?" Xia Chengxuan suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice.
Lu Jianxing knelt down on one knee with a "shua" sound, and apologized: "My subordinate did not do his job well, please punish me."
"Of course I will punish you, but not now!" Xia Chengxuan scolded coldly, "Take the people out in person, and don't come back to see me before you find the princess!"
He knew clearly that Lu Jianxing was not to blame, but he couldn't suppress his anger and couldn't help but cursed.
"Yuan Chen... It would be great if you were by my side!"
"Yuanchen, do you know how difficult it is for me and how painful my heart is?"
"Yuanchen, are you okay? Are you... are you still alive?"
"Yuanchen,...have I done these evil things? In the next life, will you still be my brother?"
Xia Chengxuan stood on the school field outside the Golden Palace, leaning on the railing to the west, his body trembling slightly. Under the moonlight, he could vaguely see his closed eyes and the tears falling from his eyelids.
... ...
Baihe Temple is a century-old temple, because
Guannei Lantian Lake is named after the white cranes that inhabit it all year round.
According to legend, a Taoist master built the temple here more than 400 years ago and soon became an immortal. When he ascended, nine white cranes flew from the clouds and stopped by the fish pond in the temple. Then, the pool continued to grow and became Lantian Lake, which is now 10,000 acres wide.
"Your Majesty, the place with bright light ahead is Baiheguan." The scout pointed at the light spot not far away and reported Zheng Sheng.
After hearing this, Xia Chengcan felt warm in his heart. He rarely laughed and ordered loudly: "Let's go, follow me to pick up the princess."
After Gaizhou resigned from Ouluhai, he led more than 4,500 light cavalry and traveled for another three days before arriving at the capital. He had already made an agreement with Xia Jingyu that once the White Army started to move, Princess Zhi would be placed in Baihe Temple. This place is backed by deep mountains and is an excellent place to escape.
White Crane Temple belongs to the Sutu lineage of Taoist sect, and its master is named Yanfa, who is the most famous Feng Shui master in Dahua. Taoists rarely sleep. When his disciples came to tell the time, he was still sitting cross-legged in the back view of the Taoist courtyard, breathing.
"Did the person who came here explain the purpose of their visit?" Yanfa asked in a deep voice, but he was thinking randomly in his mind, "Thousands of riders? Could it be that something happened to the imperial mausoleum? If so, my life will be at stake!"
Sixteen years ago, he was ordered to designate a mausoleum for Emperor Yonghua. Two days ago, news spread that Emperor Yonghua would be buried. After thinking about it, Yanfa thought that the matter of the imperial mausoleum might attract thousands of horses to come here.
The Taoist boy replied respectfully: "The person who came here is a young general. He said he was here to take back his mother."
It turned out that something happened to the Emperor's Mausoleum!
Yanfa felt happy at first, then felt miserable again. He stood up and sighed, "Hey, come with me and take a look."
Dahua worships Taoism, and believers often believe that sending sick people to Taoist temples can absorb Taoist spiritual energy, which can help cure illnesses and prolong life. There are more than a hundred guest houses in Baihe Temple, which are specially designed to accept believers and patients sent from all over the world. Firstly, they can earn a lot of money by visiting the temple, and secondly, they can also fulfill the filial piety of the patients' descendants.
Yanfa had already guessed who the young man was going to pick up, so he hurried towards the front hall.
... ...
"Who are you?" Hua Fang pointed at the group of black-clothed men blocking the front and shouted sharply, feeling something bad in his heart.
After Xia Chengyi returned to Liuzhulin, the chariot team headed eastward towards Chengguan. After walking for about twenty miles, when passing through a village, hundreds of men in black suddenly appeared on both sides and surrounded the chariot.
A thin middle-aged man drove his horse to the front and replied seriously: "We want to leave the city gate, please ask the princess to give us a ride!"
The man who spoke was none other than He Fukai, the steward of Prince Yun's Mansion.
After the people sent by Prince Yun's Mansion connected his brothers one after another, he realized the crisis and managed to trick Prince Yun's two heirs out.
He Fukai originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to take Xia Chengsui, Xia Chengyang and his family out of the capital, and lead the remaining 500 people from Prince Yun's Mansion all the way east towards Xiangyang County to escape. Xiangyang County is more than five thousand miles away from the capital, and Prince Yun's Mansion has been operating here for many years, so it is not difficult to find a shelter.
Who would have thought that Du Chong had already led his men to guard the city gate, neither letting them in nor letting them out. Yesterday, I finally let go, but my interrogation was very tight. In addition to looking at the ultimatum from the capital, I also used a picture album to compare the appearance of people passing by. It was obvious that I was trying to pick on people. How could He Fukai dare to take such a risk with his young master?
By chance, the dead soldiers sent out to inquire about the news discovered the chariot team of Prince Jia's Mansion. He Fuxin knew that this was the last chance to leave the city, so he rushed out and set up an ambush here.
"The people inside are either Xia Chengxuan or Xia Chengyi. No matter who we capture, we can use them as human shields to get out of the city gates openly."
Hua Fang clenched his fists and asked in a cold voice: "Are you the remnants of Prince Yun's palace?"
There are more than 360 people guarding the Jaw Palace this time, and there are only about a hundred more people on the other side. It is not difficult to break out of the encirclement.
Of course, breaking out and protecting Xia Chengyi from breaking out are two different things.
"Is this Princess Chengyi in the chariot? Please ask the princess to send us out of the city. I swear to heaven that as long as the princess sends us out of the city, we will never dare to harm each other." He Fukai said seriously to Hua Fangdao. After saying this, he waved his right hand, and hundreds of people pointed their bows at the four-horse unicorn chariot. The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Hua Fang, Qiongqi, and Taotie looked at each other with troubled expressions on their faces: It is not difficult to break out of the encirclement, but it is extremely difficult to protect the princess from the encirclement safely.
"Master Hua Fang!" At this moment, Xia Chengyi's voice came from the carriage.
... ...
The starry sky is bright and the night is still.
A pedestrian in black jumped lightly into the old courtyard and stood still in the courtyard.
"How is it? Is there still any movement in the Salt Government Office?" Hu Xi asked in a low voice.
The man in black bowed and replied: "Master, everyone in the house has rested."
