Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Shoukang Palace.

Qingwen and Xueyan each took care of the two children, Xiaohong stayed closely beside Daiyu, and Chu Kai and the eunuchs blocked the door tightly.

The entire east side hall was in a state of panic.

"Don't worry." Daiyu herself was quite relaxed. She was in the mood to pick and choose from the desserts on the plate. She picked up a piece of milk cake and handed it to the ignorant Qiaojie.

Then, looking at Qingwen's nervous expression, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty's banner is very useful.

"The incident at Chang'an Posthouse was obviously a case of Prince Zhongshun and Prince Yu using each other. They must have known the news over there at least a moment later than we did.

“Even after Your Majesty left the capital, they did not dare to take immediate action, detaining the Queen Mother and a group of concubines, making it difficult for Your Majesty to take care of both ends.

"Even after His Majesty and the Queen Mother left, they only slowly tested the strength of the East King and General Feng, and waited until today to force the emperor to abdicate in the palace."

At this point, Daiyu sneered, "The Supreme Lord and His Majesty are not here, and I don't know who they are trying to show off to by forcing the emperor to abdicate."

If she said she wasn't nervous, she might be the only one in the room who wasn't nervous.

Even Xiaohong, who always had the upper hand, felt weak in the knees and laughed at herself helplessly:

"Haven't we all read too many storybooks?

"Which dynasty or generation of rebellion doesn't have an inexplicable reason, and doesn't have a few unlucky people dying as a scapegoat?

"Prince Yu and Prince Zhongshun are on separate sides. Who knows if they will kill people indiscriminately? Anyway, the other party can take the blame..."

"Stop it!" Qingwen's face turned pale, "The more you talk, the more scared I get!

"Who knows if the rebels and traitors in the palace have been completely eliminated? I'll attract you with your bad mouth!"

Xiao Hong patted her chest and tilted her head towards the ground, saying "No taboos, no taboos!"

The two maids were so nervous that Daiyu actually laughed. She changed the subject and went to entertain the children:

"Brother Lan, you saw Grandpa Feng in the morning. What do you think of letting him be your master?"

Jia Lan is Tanchun's legitimate nephew, and Tanchun is Feng Tang's destined daughter-in-law. In terms of seniority, Jia Lan should really call Feng Tang "Grandpa".

If I worship a master, won’t things be in chaos?

Jia Lan, who had been taught by Li Wan since childhood and was like a little adult, really thought about it seriously before shaking his head and saying:

“It’s okay that Grandpa Feng and I are of different generations;

"I'm still afraid that he won't be able to be cruel to me because of my family's decline and my young age.

"I've heard Uncle Zhen mention that the earlier you learn martial arts, the better. The more ruthless the master, the more talented the apprentice will be.

"I am already eight years old, it is too late for me to learn martial arts. If Grandpa Feng is reluctant to let me go, I will not be able to learn it."

Everyone looked at him in surprise. They didn't expect him to be so calm and calculate so clearly.

Even Daiyu burst out laughing: "Good Lang'er, you have a quick mind."

But it's no fun to tease such children.

Daiyu then turned to Qiaojie and asked: "What do you think of Grandpa Feng?"

"Grandpa Feng is amazing!" Qiaojie's eyes sparkled, and her hands danced around, "He does this, this, and this!

“The man with the knife was chopped down by him!

"Grandpa Feng is so awesome!"

Qiaojie thought for a long time before she reluctantly picked out a person to compare her to. "It's even more powerful than when my father beat Sister Ping'er!"

Everyone was thrown off by this sentence!

Qingwen raised her hands and covered her eyes, moaning, "My slave Qiaojie...

"If General Feng heard this, wouldn't he be so angry that he would spit blood?!"

Qiaojie opened her eyes wide in confusion and stammered, not knowing how to answer.

Daiyu laughed so hard that tears were about to come out. She pulled Qiaojie into her arms, patted her head and comforted her:

"My sister has been raised in seclusion since she was young. How could she have ever seen a man who really knows Kung Fu compete with her?

"If I hadn't gone to Jiangnan, I wouldn't have had the chance to see what it means to be a master of both military and civil affairs.

"The only one who did that in front of my sister was her crazy father, wasn't he?"

As he said this, he couldn't help but snort, "It's just that Master Lian is so capable that he actually hits women and children with his fists!"

Everyone's attention shifted to the Jia Mansion, and they began to discuss in low voices about Grandmother Jia and others.

Daiyu was also somewhat worried: "The streets will be quiet in the afternoon, I will go and ask about the situation at home."

Everyone looked at her in confusion.

Daiyu was at a loss: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Hong asked carefully, "Didn't you just read the pigeon message telling His Majesty Xie Changqing that he would be able to return to the palace in the morning?"

If Emperor Zhaoming came back and saw this mess, he would definitely start a massacre. How could the streets be quiet?

How could they leave the palace at the height of the storm? Wouldn't the charge of "colluding with guilty ministers" be just the right excuse for people to file a complaint in front of Emperor Zhaoming?

Daiyu said "oh" and looked at the small piece of paper that she always kept beside her, saying nonchalantly: "I forgot."

As they were talking in such a casual manner, someone knocked on the door. Chu Qian went out for a while, then came back and reported to the hall:

“Hanyuan Hall has been dispersed.

“Prince Dun, Prince Dong, and Lord Cao escorted the Third Prince back to the palace.

"He said he wanted to meet with General Feng to see how His Majesty would report the past few days when he returns.

"Send someone to tell the princess.

"Also, the gold medal is back."

He came up with the gold medal in both hands.

Daiyu took it with one hand, played with it for a while, then looked up at Chu Qian: "Send someone to tell these four people:

"I have the letter from Chief Supervisor Tao via carrier pigeon.

"Also, call Xie Changqing over."

He curled his lips and gritted his teeth, "What a good brother of Lu Changqing!"

Everyone blinked, not understanding what was going on.

Chu Qian suddenly remembered what Daiyu said, "Lu Changqing is not afraid of anything." His heart skipped a beat and he hurried out to tell someone to pass on the message.

In just a moment, Dun, Dong, Cao and Feng all arrived, and Xie Changqing followed behind them, but was hesitant.

The two children were taken away.

Daiyu sat upright in the east side hall to meet them.

After a brief greeting, Daiyu didn't waste any words and directly handed over the note:

"Xie Changqing is the disciple of Tao Jian, so he was able to accept the letter without making a fuss.

"After I looked at it, I felt that the things here could be a little more blurred, so I asked Xie Changqing to pass it on..."

Prince Dun stared at the note, and before she could finish, he cried out in a trembling voice: "Oh my God!

"Noon?! Not Mao time?!

"That is to say, Your Majesty, Your Majesty can only come back at least before 4:00 pm?!"

Cao Feng's arms suddenly trembled!

Only the King of the East raised an eyebrow and looked at Xie Changqing: "Good boy, you lied so excitedly that even I didn't suspect you!"

Xie Changqing smiled apologetically and didn't dare to say a word.

"There are still only a thousand people..." Prince Dun felt his scalp tingling as he looked at the note, and he wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Even without these thousand people, the capital city has been sorted out almost completely." The Eastern King waved his hand, "With the kid from the Kejin family in the capital camp, there won't be any chaos.

"When the time comes, we will directly transfer people from the capital's main camp to the headquarters. The number will be determined by us, right?

"All's fair in war!

"Small idea!"

Daiyu heaved a sigh of relief at this time, and nodded with a smile: "The King of the East is right."

Feng Tang was puzzled: "What are you talking about?"
