Chapter 220 Leaving Beijing Soon
An Bohou also quickly agreed,
"Your Majesty, Duke Dingguo is absolutely right."
Emperor Jingxuan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice,
"I know that, too. But what Prince Shun did this time really chills my heart. For his own selfish reasons, he deliberately created a plague without caring about the lives of the people. If I don't punish him, how can I explain to the people of the world? The Queen Mother is dissatisfied with me because of this matter. I am in a dilemma because of this matter. I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will be regarded as an unfilial son in the eyes of the Queen Mother."
Eunuch Li stood aside, wishing he could stare a big hole in the floor.
He finally understood why His Majesty summoned Duke Dingguo and Marquis Anbo. He was afraid that he wanted to use these two people to convict Prince Shun.
I just wonder if these two gentlemen are aware of Your Majesty’s plan?
Duke Dingguo thought for a moment and said,
"Your Majesty, why not put Prince Shun under house arrest first and wait until the situation in the northwest stabilizes before making a decision. This will prevent the news from leaking and give the Queen Mother an explanation. After this matter is over, this matter must be handled with caution."
Lord Amber nodded and said,
"Your Majesty, Duke Dingguo's suggestion is very good. The most urgent task at present is to stabilize the situation in the northwest. We cannot let this matter affect the safety of the country."
Emperor Jingxuan was silent for a moment and said,
"Okay, I'll do as you say. First, lock up Prince Shun in the clan residence, and tell the public that he is ill and needs to rest. But you must keep your mouth shut about this matter. If you leak it, I will never forgive you. I will leave this matter to you two adults to interrogate. I want to know all the activities of Prince Shun and Rongdi. Do you understand?"
Duke Dingguo and Marquis Anbo kowtowed and said,
"Your Majesty, rest assured that we will keep this secret strictly."
"Okay, you go down!"
After the two men left, he came to his senses and wondered why Prince Shun was imprisoned in the clan house?
Didn’t Your Majesty say at the beginning that this matter should not be publicized?
Once the clan affairs office intervenes, won't the guilt of Prince Shun be confirmed?
Your Majesty is clearly throwing the hot potato of Prince Shun into the hands of these two people!
Duke Dingguo and Marquis Anbo were both very nervous. They knew how difficult this matter was. On the one hand, they had to deal with the pressure from His Majesty, and on the other hand, they had to consider the reaction of the Queen Mother. If they were not careful, they might end up in an irretrievable situation.
Duke Dingguo frowned and said to Marquis Anbo,
"This is a difficult matter. Your Majesty has imprisoned Prince Shun in the Imperial Clan Court, clearly to prove his guilt. But how should we explain this to the Queen Mother?"
An Bohou also had a sad face and said,
"Your Majesty's mind is hard to predict. We can only take it one step at a time. Let's go to the clan house first to check on Prince Shun's situation, and then make plans."
Ye Xiaoxiao and Liu Yunniang still don’t know what happened in the palace.
The two have been busy packing their luggage to leave Beijing in recent days.
It's not a big deal to pack it up. Ye Xiaoxiao just realized that she has only been in Beijing for half a year, but she has so many things!
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the boxes piled high and sighed helplessly.
"What should we do? With so many things, if our carriage team goes out, the people will be shocked."
Liu Yunniang also frowned.
"It's indeed a bit troublesome, why don't we simplify it a bit."
So, the two began to carefully select which things must be taken away and which can be left behind. It is not impossible to take these things away.
Ye Xiaoxiao has a space on her, but there are people from the general's mansion among her entourage, so she doesn't dare to be too conspicuous.
"Mother, you said that we don't know when we can come back after we leave."
Ye Xiaoxiao said as she sorted her things. Liu Yunniang nodded slightly.
"Yeah, but now that we've made the decision, let's not think too much about it. We just need to take good care of ourselves and believe that everything will be fine."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded.
"Well, wherever mother is, that's home!"
After some screening, they finally reduced their luggage to a size that they could carry.
Mother Xu had been staying with Ye Xiaoxiao in the general's mansion during the day these past few days. Seeing that the lady and the young lady had slowly packed up their things, she felt more and more reluctant to leave.
On the day before departure, he could not hold back his reluctance and said to Liu Yunniang,
"Madam, I feel much better now. Look at me. I look completely well now. Why don't you let me leave Beijing with you?"
When she thought about how her madam had sent people to bring her from Jiangnan to the capital to enjoy a good life, but her health was not good enough and she fell ill as soon as she arrived, and how she had made her madam and young lady worry about her, she felt guilty.
Although she has felt much better these days, the doctor said that she still needs to take good care of herself. However, the lady and the young lady are about to leave, and Liu Yunniang is worried about letting Mother Xu follow her to the northwest, so she decides to let her stay in the capital, firstly to look after the mansion in the capital, and secondly to keep Chunxi company!
But this made Mother Xu feel extremely upset.
Mother Xu's eyes were red, and she held Liu Yunniang's hand and said,
"Madam, I really can't bear to leave you and the young lady. Although I still need to recuperate, I can take care of myself and won't be a burden to you. Please let me go with you."
Liu Yunniang gently patted Mother Xu's hand and said in a gentle voice,
"Mother Xu, I understand your intentions. But the journey to the northwest is long and the environment is harsh. Your body can't stand it. You should stay in the capital, take good care of yourself, and wait for us to come back."
Ye Xiaoxiao also stepped forward to comfort her.
"Mother Xu, just listen to your mother. You take good care of the mansion in the capital, so that when we come back, we can have a stable home."
Mother Xu nodded helplessly, but tears could not stop flowing down.
"I understand. Madam and Miss, please take good care of yourselves. I will be waiting for you to return to the capital."
Originally, when they came to Beijing, they never thought that one day they would feel reluctant to leave Beijing, and there would be people here whom they would not want to leave behind.
Liu Yunniang looked at Mother Xu with a look of reluctance and said softly,
"Mother Xu, the affairs of the mansion are now handed over to you and Chunxi. If there is any emergency, you can come to the general's mansion to ask for help from Mother Sun."
Mother Xu nodded solemnly.
"Madam, rest assured, I will do my best."
Ye Xiaoxiao also said,
"Mother Xu, you have to pay more attention to your health and take medicine on time. When we come back, we hope to see you healthy. I left some tonics for Chunxi, which are good for the body. You have to listen to Chunxi and take good care of yourself!"
Mother Xu was deeply moved and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, Madam Xu will take the medicine obediently. Thank you Miss for your trouble."
