Chapter 492: Something is wrong
The old emperor said without hesitation: "As I said before, if you are a daughter of Chongdao, then it is equivalent to being my daughter. There is no difference in identity between you and Yi Gu."
He paused for a moment, and then continued meaningfully: "Luoyu, you still have a long time in the capital, everything can take your time."
These words are a bit out of the blue, but they are undoubtedly a reassurance.
Yan Luoyu immediately understood that the old emperor would not repatriate her back to Jinzhou at this time, and she felt a lot more relaxed, and immediately saluted: "Luoyu understands."
The old emperor stopped talking, and directly ordered people to **** Yan Luoyu out of the palace.
"Luoyu resigns." Yan Luoyu bowed politely, turned and left.
The old emperor looked at her receding figure, and finally sighed deeply.
This little girl is very smart.
However, he has been in power for decades, so how could he fail to see what this little fox is planning?
Yan Yatou is interested in Jiangshan, so he will let her inherit it.
Anyway, he also planned to give the Zen seat to Chongdao back then.
In this world, what does it matter whether the surname is Huo or Yan?
Another compartment.
Yan Luoyu was supported by the palace servants into the carriage.
The wheels started to turn, and the body was inevitably bumped.
Her mood went up and down along with this bump.
She didn't understand what His Majesty meant today.
Since he is willing to teach her to correct memorials, this is to train her on purpose.
But now she turned around and sent her out of the palace, what does this mean?
Yan Luoyu frowned slightly, and his heart was clouded with sadness.
She thought for a while, and asked in a low voice to the personal maid next to her, "Has the letter sent to Xiao's family been delivered yet?"
The servant girl knelt at her footsteps, lowered her eyes and said respectfully: "The letter has been sent out for five days. Judging by the speed of sending it all the way, it should have reached the Xiao family."
Yan Luoyu's hanging heart slightly fell into reality.
Just deliver it.
Apart from the Yan family, she has no resources to call on. Of course, the most urgent task is to win over more allies and strengthen her own resources.
Another compartment.
Jinzhou, Huainan Palace.
A slender young man in Chinese clothes stood by the window and finished reading the letter. His expression became a little subtle, and the corners of his mouth were raised slightly. He didn't know whether it was ridicule or appreciation.
"What did you say in the letter?" Huainan King, who was sitting in the grand master's chair at the top, asked majestically.
The youth in Chinese clothes is Xiao Junlin, the second son of the Xiao family.
He said with a half-smile, "Miss Yan family said that His Majesty is now severely interrogating Gu Changze."
"Gu Changze is weak and weak, and can't bear the severe punishment. Now there are signs of a confession."
"However, Miss Yan said that the Xiao family and the Yan family are of the same spirit."
"If the Xiao family wants Gu Changze to shut up, she will definitely help the Xiao family."
Huainan King snorted coldly, and said with a slightly contemptuous smile: "This girl from the Yan family is threatening me."
On the surface, they said they wanted to help, but in fact they were showing that Gu Changze was now firmly in Yan Luoyu's hands.
She lives when she wants him to live, and dies when she wants him to die.
She confesses if she wants him to confess, and doesn't confess if she doesn't want him to confess.
To put it bluntly, Yan Luoyu will never deal with Gu Changze for the Xiao family now.
She will only keep Gu Changze as a tool to control the Xiao family.
"But she is also surrendering to us." Xiao Junlin smiled with some interest.
Huainan King originally dismissed the letter sent by the girl of the Yan family, but now he personally took the letter from his second son, and quickly scanned it line by line.
Finally, he put the letter paper on the candle and burned it, and said with a smile on his face: "The girl of the Yan family is quite ambitious."
Xiao Junlin looked at the letter paper that was reduced to ashes in the candlelight, feeling regretful.
The young lady of the Yan family wrote in carved lowercase script, which was very beautiful, and the letter paper was also very exquisite red plum paper, with a faint fragrance of plum blossoms, very elegant and beautiful.
Honestly speaking, Xiao Junlin actually wanted to keep this letter and keep it for preservation. Who would have thought that his father and king would burn it directly—without leaving a trace.
Although there were thoughts in his heart, Xiao Junlin was very clear-headed, and did not feel any resentment because of the loss of the letter paper.
Hearing his father's comments at this moment, Xiao Junlin smiled disapprovingly and said, "Miss Yan is just a woman, how ambitious can she be? All women ask for is nothing but a support."
King Huainan did not quite agree with these words.
He said a little worriedly: "Since a female emperor came to the throne in the previous dynasty, people's hearts have been fluctuating in this world. Some women are not comfortable in the back house, thinking about unrealistic things all day long."
Xiao Junlin smiled contemptuously, and said teasingly, "The rooster who rules the morning will bring about his own destruction."
King Huainan had a plan in mind.
He thought about it carefully, and suddenly sighed: "Hey, you should have married Miss Yan in the first place."
At that time, his eldest son, who had been living abroad for nearly twenty years, finally returned to the Xiao family.
King Huainan originally had high hopes for his eldest son.
Who would have thought that Xiao Junji was overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility, and the marriage was imminent, and Junji actually directly released the news that he had a deep-rooted love with Saburo Pei.
Such irrational actions almost completely disrupted his plan!
King Huainan frowned, he really hated that iron could not be made into steel.
He knew that Xiao Junji resented him for not upholding justice for him, but he has always been able to bend and stretch to achieve great things. His eldest son can't even "bear humiliation", so why is he talking about achieving great things?
When King Huainan thought of this, he couldn't help feeling pain and anger in his heart.
He originally wanted to watch the two sons compete with each other and motivate each other.
Who would have thought that in the end, the elder son was so useless that he couldn't stand the shock at all, and he ran to the capital and never came back!
Really unreasonable!
Huinan King's heart ached when he thought of this, the more he felt the pain, the more annoyed he became, and the more complicated his attitude towards this eldest son.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became serious.
Xiao Junlin noticed this subtle change, and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, when he saw a subordinate hurried in.
This subordinate is his spy in Kyoto, and now that the spy has returned in person, there must be something urgent.
"This subordinate has seen the prince, the second master." The spy knelt on one knee and saluted.
Huainan Wang said in a deep voice, "Excuse me."
The secret agent stood up and explained excitedly: "My lord, this subordinate has captured Pei's Sanlang's nanny and personal maid this time! They have important news to report to the lord personally!"
