Regent, the princess you found is a treasure
Chapter 209 Returning to Beijing
"Okay." Mrs. Xiao felt helpless and happy when she heard Su Luoxue say this.
Unfortunately, they had just reunited, and now they had to separate again. This child, still a little girl who had not grown up, was either fighting or on the way to a war every day.
What made Su Luoxue happy was that she said the twin daughters in her belly were developing well, and that when she gave birth, Xue'er would come to deliver the baby herself.
Madam Xiao held Su Luoxue's hand and said reluctantly: "Mother just came from the capital to Qingzhou City to be with you. Now, you are going to the capital again. The emperor now regards you as traitors and villains. You must be very careful."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Su Luoxue said to Mrs. Xiao with a smile.
"When do you plan to set off and how many people will you take?" Mrs. Xiao asked worriedly.
"The day after tomorrow." Su Luoxue said: "Tomorrow, arrange the affairs here. It will be just the prince and I."
"Just the two of you? How will that be enough?" Mrs. Xiao said anxiously upon hearing this.
"Mom, we are not going to fight. If there are too many people, we will be easily exposed. Don't worry!" Su Luoxue said with a smile.
Su Luoxue asked Meixiang to stay and take good care of Madam Xiao. Although Madam Xiao was not Su Luoxue's biological mother, she truly saw the care and love that the entire Grand Tutor's Mansion had for their young lady. Therefore, Meixiang also treated Madam Xiao as her own master and naturally served her wholeheartedly.
"Miss, don't worry, I will serve the madam well." Meixiang assured Su Luoxue.
On the third day, Su Luoxue, Xuan Moyin and An Yi set off. This time, Su Luoxue chose to ride in a carriage since she was not in a hurry anyway. Every time she saw Xuan Moyin flying around using his Qinggong to hurry on his way, it was really tiring.
An Yi sat in the front seat, while Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue sat in the back seat.
Mrs. Xiao was worried, so she had someone prepare a lot of dry food the night before for them to take with them on the road.
Madam Xiao stood at the gate of the mansion, watching the servants load the food onto the carriage, and Meixiang was supporting Madam Xiao all the time.
"Mom, we don't need so much. We can buy some food on the way." Su Luoxue said as she looked at the packages of things on the left and right.
Besides, if they can reach the capital quickly, it will only take about five days.
"Nothing outside is as delicious as what I cook myself," said Mrs. Xiao.
"Take it with you. These were all made by Madam." At this time, Xuan Moyin, the old Grand Tutor, and Lord Xiao walked out of the mansion.
After hearing Xuan Moyin's words, Su Luoxue could only look at the pile of food that filled half of the carriage.
After saying goodbye to the old master and the others, the two of them got on the carriage. An Yi drove the carriage out of Qingzhou City and headed towards the capital.
As soon as the carriage left, Su Luoxue put all the food prepared by Madam Xiao into the space.
This not only saves space in the carriage, but also keeps the food in the space from spoiling, and it always remains fresh and hot as when it was just taken out of the pot.
……
In the capital, outside the Grand Tutor's Mansion, it has been the fourth day, why is there nothing in the Grand Tutor's Mansion?
The Duke and the Grand Marshal were looking at the gate of the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
"My Lord, why do I feel that the Grand Tutor's Mansion is so quiet, as if there is no one here?" said the Grand Marshal.
They didn't know that the servants of the Grand Tutor's Mansion were also taken out by Su Luoxue and arranged in Xuan Moyin's villa. Now there was really no one in the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
In fact, the Duke also had this feeling in his heart, but he did not dare to step forward easily. After all, the murderer who attacked the Royal Guards had not been caught yet, and according to the report from the imperial physician in the palace, they had never seen that kind of wound, and they did not know that it was caused by various weapons.
"You, come here." The Duke waved to a guard soldier behind him and said, "Go over and knock on the door now."
The guard bravely stepped forward and knocked on the door several times, "bang, bang, bang". After waiting for a while, no one came to open the door.
"Knock again." The Duke said when he saw no one coming out.
"Pah, pah, pah." The guard knocked hard several times.
The heavy knock on the door made even passers-by stop and look.
"Duke, this Lord Xiao really seems to be disrespecting the Emperor more and more. I've been knocking on the door for quite some time, but not a single servant has come to open it." The general said unsatisfiedly.
"Then what do you think we should do?" asked the Duke.
"My Lord Duke, why don't we have someone break the door down by force? It's not a good idea for us to just stand guard outside all the time." The Grand Marshal whispered to the Duke.
"You mean..." The Duke looked at the Grand Marshal and said
The general whispered, "My Lord, don't you think it's been too quiet in the Grand Tutor's Mansion these days? I'm just afraid that Lord Xiao's family has been infected with the disease. No matter what, we have to save them!"
"Okay, then what shall we do!" said the Duke.
The two of them retreated to a corner farther away from the Grand Tutor's Mansion, which was relatively safer.
The imperial guards were also afraid. Their brother had been hit by an unknown hidden weapon in front of the palace gate. Now the imperial doctors couldn't cure him, and he might have to have his limbs amputated. If that was the case, not only would they lose their jobs, but they would also become disabled people in the future.
However, they were just a small imperial guard, and they dared not disobey the Duke's words. They could only pray that the master would not attack them. They had no grudges against the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and they had to obey the orders from above.
The Duke and the Grand Marshal certainly had no idea what the guards were thinking, so they ordered people to bring in large logs that were specifically used to knock over doors.
Then more than twenty soldiers of the Imperial Guard carried it and crashed into the gate of the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
However, the door was not so easy to break open, and after they knocked for a while, no one from the Grand Tutor's Mansion came to open the door.
Their actions were reported to their masters by the spies, and Xuan Haotian also received the news in the palace.
He did not stop it, but just asked him to continue listening and come back to report immediately if there was any situation.
On this side, the guards took more than an hour to break the door open.
The moment the door was pushed open, everyone dropped their big logs and scattered to the back, hiding in any place they could, and then paid attention to the movements inside the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
After a long while, still no one came out of the Grand Tutor's Mansion. At this time, the Duke and the Grand Marshal both felt something was wrong. Why was there such a big noise that the door was even knocked open? Why didn't Lord Xiao send anyone out to check?
But they were afraid and deceitful, so they let the guards go in first to see what was going on?
Although the soldiers were also afraid, they had no choice but to hold their weapons in their hands and walk slowly towards the Grand Tutor's Mansion. As they walked, they kept alert to the movements inside and kept muttering in their hearts: "Good man, spare my life! Good man, spare my life!"
