Soon there were voices shouting "Unjust" from outside, but in this huge palace, the word "Unjust" was probably the most spoken word, and it was also the least valuable. It had no effect at all.
"Check, check carefully for me, who is so bold that he sneaked into my palace."
"And find my old turtle back!"
"Little Luzi, change my clothes and go to court!"
I have to say that this old emperor is quite dedicated. He has already encountered such things, but he still goes to court on time and conscientiously.
Little Luzi raised his head and touched his neck. Fortunately, it was still there and had not been chopped off.
But when he thought of the question the old emperor had just asked, the cold sweat that had stopped just now continued again. He said intermittently: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your dragon robe is also missing."
"Bang" the old emperor threw the jade pillow on the bed directly. His brows and eyes were full of anger, and even his hair stood on end.
"Then why don't you bring me another set? Do you want to have your head checked here?"
Xiao Luzi stood up quickly, saluted, and ran out of the dormitory. However, because she was too nervous, she stumbled and missed the step. She fell to the ground like a toad, and her two front teeth were instantly thrown out.
He gasped in pain, covered his bleeding mouth with his hands, and ran quickly to the Clothing Department.
But as soon as they entered the Clothing Bureau, they saw all the maids in charge of cutting clothes standing in the courtyard, with fear on their faces.
When they received the imperial edict again and asked for new dragon robes, they were all so frightened that they fell to the ground and couldn't even finish their sentences.
As a result, the first emperor in history appeared in court wearing underwear.
The ministers below were also full of frustration. When they saw the disheveled emperor appearing on the dragon throne, oh, no, he should have appeared on a wooden chair, they were all dumbfounded.
"Your Majesty, this..." Prime Minister Xu stood up first and asked.
"Your Majesty, where has this dragon chair gone?"
"How could I know? If you ask me, who should I ask? Even my palace and imperial garden have been evacuated." The old emperor fumed angrily. He was no longer in the mood to go to court.
It seems that the old emperor does not know that almost his entire palace has been evacuated, and it is not certain that it will collapse even more.
The ministers below kept whispering,
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen requested that the thief be captured and executed by the nine tribes. Wei Chen's mansion was also ransacked."
Prime Minister Xu, a dignified prime minister of a country, turned red in front of so many people. Who can imagine what he felt when he woke up and found that there was only an empty room left in his mansion.
Until now, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion don't know if they can scrape together some money, and the breakfast has not yet been provided.
"Prime Minister Xu, your house has been patronized too? Mine is the same, even the charcoal fire in the kitchen is gone."
"What's the matter? The flower pots in my garden are broken, and all the flower pots that I didn't have time to clean are gone."
"And me, and me. Even my usual urinal is missing."
"Are you miserable enough for me? Even the tiles on the roof of my house are completely clean, wuwu... Fortunately it didn't rain today, otherwise you would see me wet."
"..."
The old emperor's face turned darker as he listened to the ministers below talking to each other. He slapped the wooden chair, shaking the people below.
"Check, check hard for me, who is it? I want to see who is so bold! Are you going to evacuate the entire city of Kyoto?"
The ministers who were not patronized all lowered their heads and huddled in the corner like quails.
They are even more afraid, what should they do if suspicion arises on them, or what should they do if they have to support some money themselves? Their money is also money.
As a result, there was a bustling discussion in the court hall again. The ministers were talking to each other about what else they had at home, and whether they could borrow some supplies to go home to get through the current period.
…
I don’t know who spread this incident outside, and it quickly spread throughout the entire Kyoto city.
The common people were all speculating that it must be because the old emperor had wronged the Zhongliang family and was condemned by God. Otherwise, how could the entire palace be evacuated in one night?
And it was evacuated without anyone noticing, which is something that only gods can accomplish.
Of course, Xu Qiyue and others don't know these things yet.
After they gathered together with four other families of exiled people, they waited there for a while.
People came one after another to give things to their families, food, supplies, and money.
They are all important people in their own families, and some of them are innocent and implicated, so how can they not make people worried.
This farewell has become an immortal rule.
Zhou Chenghai looked at it and chose to turn a blind eye. As long as he didn't do anything extraordinary, he wouldn't care.
His mission was to safely escort these exiles to the Southern Wilderness, so that he could retire with success and come back to receive the reward.
Xiao Beihan watched all this. There were too many people, and he was worried that his family would be hit, so he turned sideways to protect the female members of the Xiao family.
At this moment, a cry came from not far away, "Yu'er, Yu'er, mother is here."
Mrs. Shangguan squeezed into the crowd and came to where the Xiao family was standing.
After briefly greeting Shen Ning, he walked to Shangguan Yu's side.
He hugged his sister-in-law Shangguan Yu tightly in his arms, tears streaming down his face.
"My poor child, you must protect yourself and stay alive. These are some things mom has prepared for you. You will definitely use them on this road."
With that said, he stuffed the big package carried by the maid into the sister-in-law's arms.
"Mom, please take care. My daughter is unfilial and can no longer be by your side to take care of you."
"Silly boy, mother only hopes that you will be well. The road to exile is too far away. You must take good care of yourself and take care of little Haoling. I have pity on you. My lovely grandson has to be exiled thousands of miles away at such a young age. All the suffering."
Mrs. Shangguan wiped away the tears from the corners of Shangguan Yu's eyes and touched Xiao Haoling's head with a distressed look on her face.
The second sister-in-law is pregnant, and it must be the hardest time for her to have a big belly. The third sister-in-law next to her is supporting her.
The two of them looked left and right, looking for the shadow of their relatives in the crowd, but they couldn't find anyone they were familiar with, and their mood was a little low. They looked at each other, both lowered their heads and said nothing, relying on each other.
Xu Qiyue also had no family to see her off. Seeing her standing alone, Xiao Beihan came over and said, "Are you okay?"
