Thinking of this, he scolded the horse and walked up to Gu Linchao, and said dejectedly: "Hengzhi, for your sake this time, I don't even want a huge family business. The rest of my life depends on you."
Gu Linchao glanced at him, this time he did not sprinkle salt on his wound, but nodded and said: "Don't worry, Prince Xiang's Mansion will be your home in the future."
Xiao Yan was so moved that he stretched out his hand to put it on his shoulder, "Hengzhi, you are indeed a filial man, I see you right... Eh!" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly called out, and stretched out his hand to touch himself chest position.
At this moment, a joking voice came from the side, "My lord, don't listen to his nonsense, he has already figured out a way out for himself, even if you don't support him, he can still live well. With so many silver notes, it is He can't spend two lifetimes."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan came to his senses, took a deep breath, turned his head to look, and saw that his white money was in someone's hand.
"Stinky boy, return my belongings to me quickly." He said angrily, and almost jumped over immediately.
Wen Tingyun patted it back in his hand, and said contemptuously, "Aren't they just a few banknotes? It seems like someone is rare." Thinking of when he went to the Yasukuni Mansion to save this guy, he was still thinking about going there desperately. The scene of putting a banknote in his arms made him feel contemptuously in his heart.
Lord Jingguo's love for money is really comparable to that of Zilong.
Xiao Yan stuffed the banknote back into his bosom, patted it preciously, and then said eloquently: "What do you know? I have saved this banknote for a long time and used it to marry a wife in the future. Of course I am Very rare."
Wen Tingyun heard the words and thought, this guy is really crazy about wanting to marry a wife.
He hurriedly rode away from him.
Although Gu Linchao successfully rescued the Empress Dowager and Atuo Jianghua this time, Wen Tingyun's rescue of Xiao Yan alarmed the imperial guards. Gu Heng might react soon and send troops to chase after him, so Gu Linchao decided to divide his troops into two groups Back to Xiangzhou.
To be on the safe side, he asked Wen Tingyun, Si Yi, and Xiao Yan to escort the Empress Dowager, Atuo Jianghua and others to Tunzhou, and then pretended to be a businessman, and asked Akabane Tower to escort them.
He himself took the eight generals and went directly to the official road, and he was very loud, just to expose his whereabouts and attract the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.
"Chao'er, you have to be careful yourself." The Empress Dowager urged worriedly.
"Don't worry, queen mother, I'll be fine." Gu Linchao said softly, and then said to Xiao Yan and the others, "Be sure to protect my queen mother."
"Don't worry, we will send the Empress Dowager to Xiangzhou safely." Xiao Yan promised.
"That's good." Gu Linchao didn't say much to them, and after sending them to Tunzhou, he took them to another road.
…
Sure enough, as Gu Linchao expected, Gu Heng soon found out about Xiao Yan being rescued.
He was terrified.
"Under heavy guards, you can still rob people away, you bunch of idiots, what use is it for me to support you?"
All the imperial guards knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.
"Your Majesty calm down, the most urgent thing is to send someone to recover Lord Yasukuni." Si Luo reminded from the side.
Gu Heng squinted his eyes, nodded, and said coldly: "You must gather the troops immediately, and you must bring Xiao Yan back. If there is any resistance, the Fa will be executed on the spot." He couldn't let Xiao Yan go to Xiangzhou with the will, Since he wanted to die, he fulfilled him.
"Yes." Si Luo respectfully responded, and hurriedly wanted to take people out.
At this moment, Gu Heng suddenly thought of something, and quickly stopped him, "Wait a minute."
Si Luo turned around and asked, "Does the emperor have any orders?"
Gu Heng's complexion was very ugly, and he said with a gloomy face, "Show me Jingci Palace."
Seeing this, the people below were all stunned.
Gu Heng took the lead out of the Imperial Study Room, and quickly went to Jingci Palace.
Si Luo hurriedly followed.
After arriving at Jingci Palace, Gu Heng went straight to the empress dowager's bedroom.
Looking at the deserted bedroom, Gu Heng suppressed his anger and asked the palace servants beside him, "Where is the Empress Dowager?"
The servants of Jingci Palace had already turned pale with fright when they saw him barging in with great force, and when they heard him ask, they quickly replied: "The Empress Dowager has been in poor health for the past two days, and she is resting in the house. Madam Zeng told me not to disturb..."
Gu Heng laughed back angrily, and pointed at the empty bedroom, "Then tell me, where is the Empress Dowager?"
The palace man glanced at the empty bedroom, and fell to his knees in fright, "Slave, I don't know, the empress dowager was still there yesterday..."
Gu Heng directly lifted his foot and kicked him to the ground, "Trash!"
He felt that it was impossible for Xiao Yan to leave the Empress Dowager and leave directly. As expected, the Empress Dowager also disappeared.
At yesterday's wedding, Gu Linchao didn't show up. He thought he had seen through his plan and was too frightened to go to Beijing. He didn't expect Gu Linchao to show him behind his back.
Xiao Yan was taken away, and the empress dowager evaporated from the palace, this must be related to Gu Linchao.
While the wedding was busy, the Empress Dowager was taken away quietly.
Thinking of this, Gu Heng's face turned ashen.
Gu Linchao, you are really good at it!
Seeing this, Si Luo thought about it for a while, and understood.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is old and in poor health. They shouldn't be able to walk very far with her, so I will take people to chase her."
"Well, bring more people." Gu Heng came back to his senses and ordered, "It's best to stop people, if not, I will send troops directly to Xiangzhou."
Si Luo frowned, and nodded, "I take orders."
After Si Luo led the people away, Gu Heng was about to go back to the imperial study when Qing Lian hurried over.
"The emperor..."
"What's the matter?" Seeing her, Gu Heng was a little impatient, "What happened to the queen mother?"
Qinglian knelt down on the ground, sobbing with a pale face, "The empress dowager has passed away..."
Hearing this, Gu Heng shook his body, "What did you say?"
Qinglian knelt on the ground and had to repeat, "The empress dowager has passed away."
Gu Heng's expression was extremely ugly.
Why do all the things pile up together
"Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body." Seeing his frighteningly pale complexion, Hao Fulu hastily persuaded him.
"Department of Rites, take good care of my mother's funeral." After leaving these words, Gu Heng went directly to the imperial study.
Both Hao Fulu and Qinglian were a little surprised.
They thought he would go to the Harmony Palace to see Queen Mother Guo, but they didn't expect...
Queen Mother Guo died, but it failed to stop Gu Heng's determination to send troops to Xiangzhou.
Despite the dissuasion of his courtiers, he insisted on sending troops to Xiangzhou.
For a while, the people in the court were panicked.
…
Xiangzhou.
Ever since Gu Linchao left Xiangzhou, Wen Rongrong felt uneasy and often couldn't sleep well.
This night, when she slept until midnight, she was sweating and woke up.
She stared at the ceiling for a while, then slowly sat up.
Since she was pregnant, she has been particularly afraid of heat. Although it has entered winter, but as her belly grows day by day, she often wakes up from the heat when she sleeps until midnight.
