The arms agent concubine takes the RV to raise a baby
Chapter 125: City Gate Blockade
Early in the morning, Hua Xiyu asked A Tu to find someone to remove the door and complete the preparations so that the car could be driven back tonight.
While others were busy dismantling the door, she quickly slipped out of town to get a few sets of clean underwear in case she couldn't get back tonight.
In the palace, the emperor was asking Ying Qi about Hua Xiyu's situation. Ying Qi said that there was no further news, and it was still the same as what he had found out before. In the past five years, Hua Xiyu seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, without any trace at all.
"Well, it's time to let her go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." The emperor thought so, and gave Ying Qi some instructions. Finally, he asked, "What's going on in Prince Kang's Mansion now?"
"Prince Kang has completed the funeral of the Crown Prince. It is estimated that the memorial to change the title of the Crown Prince will be delivered soon. The new Crown Prince will be Liu Hao, the sixth son of Prince Kang's mansion."
"Okay, it turns out that you are still reluctant to give up the title, otherwise you should confer it on his grandson."
At this moment, Crown Prince Liu Jingyu was preparing to leave the palace with his bodyguard Di Shen. Di Shen was captured on the way to pick up Miss Lei that day and was later knocked unconscious. After waking up, he had already returned to Huicheng. He told the crown prince about his experience of picking up Miss Lei, and Liu Jingyu was helpless.
He had already given orders to the city gates, describing Hua Xiyu's appearance in detail and asking them to notify the Eastern Palace immediately if they met this person.
He remembered that Miss Lei said she also wanted to go to Huicheng. Thinking of her car, her medicine, and her medical skills, the prince regretted more and more that he did not force her back to the East Palace that day.
According to the prince's description, the guards at each city gate kept their eyes open outside the city all day long, but they never saw anyone in strange clothes or anything strange.
After waiting for more than half a month, the prince went to the city gate every day, but there was still no sign of him.
Liu Jingyu went to the north gate as usual, and Di Shen followed closely behind him: "Your Highness, why do you always guard the north gate? Maybe she came in from another gate?"
"If you come from Muduo Town, you can just enter the city from the north gate. Why does she have to go through other gates?" Liu Jingyu looked at Di Shen with contempt.
"Then she might just go out and play around and come in through another door," Di Shen scratched his head and said aggrievedly.
"What you said makes sense. Let's go around all the city gates today." The prince thought about it and decided to just sit around and do nothing anyway.
In the capital, no one would dare to touch the prince.
It was still early, so Liu Jingyu and Di Shen walked slowly towards the east gate.
There was a commotion at the city gate. The prince stood on the city wall and had no intention of asking about the disputes among the people. He looked in the direction of Muduo Town to see if there was any smoke or dust rising. Of course, it was still too early, and even if it was coming, it would not be so fast.
He went down from the city wall and planned to look towards the west gate again. Although he didn't want to miss it, he didn't hold out any hope. More than twenty days had passed. Perhaps Hua Xiyu had gone somewhere else to play. She and her things were so conspicuous that there was no need to describe them. He just told the guards at the city gate to report to the prince if they saw anything strange that they didn't recognize. The guards would not miss it.
Hua Xiyu walked all the way to the RV, and it took her two full hours. She made herself a lunch in the RV, packed her clothes and prepared to return. She found two unopened packages in the car. This was strange. It had been so long and so many people had been in this RV, how could there be unopened packages in the car?
She picked up the package on the ground and opened it. What did she see? It was the toothbrush, toothbrush cup and some toys she bought for the two little ones that night. This was incredible. She placed the order in ancient times, and it was shipped to her in modern society and delivered to her RV.
She lit a cigarette and thought seriously about the possibility of this incident. She couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried, so she gave up thinking about it. She remembered that there were two mountain bikes in the RV, which were gifts from the RV. She didn't want to walk on the way back with the things, so a bicycle would be just right.
Sure enough, the two bicycles were tied securely to the wall of the RV. She untied one bicycle, put on the things she needed to take, and set off on her return journey.
When Liu Jingyu walked down the city wall, Hua Xiyu was riding his bicycle to Huidong Street. Time is a strange thing. Many times, just a little difference can make people miss it.
Liu Jingyu and Hua Xiyu, neither too early nor too late, just missed each other.
Liu Jingyu and Di Shen walked and strolled. As soon as the city gates opened, the streets soon became lively. As a child who grew up in the palace, he rarely strolled around the city. Today, as he strolled around, he felt comforted by the fact that the people in the city lived and worked in peace and contentment. Under the rule of the Liu family, he could have such a prosperous scene. His chest was instantly filled with pride.
As they were walking, the guard Gudian came hurriedly and said, "Your Highness, I finally found you."
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? What a mess!" Liu Jingyu was very unhappy. The servants in the Prince's Mansion should also behave properly.
"Just now, the guard at the east gate came to report that he saw a man sitting on a rack with two wheels and walked away by himself." The guard didn't know how to describe it and spoke incoherently.
"A frame with two wheels? A carriage?" If not a carriage, then what is it? Di Shen looked at Gudian and asked.
“No, there is no horse.”
"Two wheels without a horse, can't it run?" Di Shen said with dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Yes, yes, it can run by itself. That's what it says on the city gate. They said the prince ordered that we must report anything we haven't seen before. So when they arrived at the mansion and didn't see the prince, they told me and hurried back." Gu Dian blinked his eyes, looking a little excited. He actually didn't know how to describe it.
"Where did it go?" Liu Jingyu asked anxiously. If it wasn't her, where else would such a strange thing come from?
"Heading towards Huidong Street," said Gudian.
"Let's go and take a look." Liu Jingyu walked towards the east gate.
The guards who had been following behind with horses immediately brought the horses over. They had already reached the west gate. Although the distance from west to east was not very far, the city was already noisy and crowded with people. It was not possible to ride through quickly on horseback, and they could not expose their identity as the prince at will.
The group of people riding horses could only walk slowly and only gallop when they walked out of the crowded streets.
Hua Xiyu was riding his bike and was originally going back to the palace, but suddenly he remembered that he still had a debt of 1000 taels of silver that had not been collected. No, I have to go to Liaozhai to collect the debt.
At this time, in the Prince Kang's Mansion in southern Xinjiang, Liu Xuanzhang's funeral had just ended, and the Princess Kang was already bedridden. Her only son was gone. All her hopes and expectations in this life collapsed, and she had no support to live.
Prince Kang didn't care about the princess's feelings, but his eldest son died, and all his sons were dead. He had to avenge them no matter what. He would put the rebellion aside for now and take revenge first.
Facing Prince Kang's anger, the staff member Liu Lu's mind worked rapidly. He finally understood that Prince Kang's palace was like this. It would be easier to declare himself emperor than to rebel. The palace had its own troops and controlled a certain area, so the imperial court had no control over it.
The emperor has a million soldiers, 300,000 of whom are guarding the southern border, 200,000 are guarding the northern border, and 300,000 are in the hands of the Pan family. The other small places have a total of 200,000. If the southern border directly declares itself emperor, the biggest threat will be the 300,000 guarding soldiers. However, the chances of winning for the Kang Palace are still great. How can the guarding soldiers compare with the local soldiers? The Kang Palace now owns Leizhou, Qiongzhou, Danzhou, and Tuzhou, and has an endless supply of food and grass. The 300,000 guarding soldiers of the imperial court will have their combat effectiveness reduced by half if they are out of food for three days.
Liu Lu stood aside without saying a word, quietly waiting for King Kang to vent his anger, "Lin Nan, you lead fifty loyal officials to follow the Sixth Prince to Beijing to ask for the title of Crown Prince. As long as they are the emperor's sons, no matter who they are, kill them all. It would be best if all his current sons were killed."
Since you killed all my sons, I must make you taste the pain of losing a son.
"Yes, I will set off immediately."
"No hurry. Wait until I finish writing the memorial to change the title of the crown prince. You can go to the capital with the Sixth Young Master and we will act according to the circumstances."
Lin Nan discussed some specific details with Prince Kang in the study before leaving.
Liu Lu listened to the whole process, which was a good thing as it just concealed his intention to establish himself as king.
After seeing Lin Nan off, Prince Kang and Liu Lu seriously discussed the plan of proclaiming himself emperor. Prince Kang suddenly thought it was a great idea. Why had he never thought of it this way before?
"Mr. Liu, if you had come to my Prince Kang's Mansion earlier, I would have accomplished great things long ago."
Liu Lu smiled awkwardly and thought to himself, in the past you didn't have so many soldiers and so much food, and you would have been killed by the emperor before you even started the rebellion. But now the time is ripe, you have recruited enough soldiers and stored enough food, the time has come.
At this time in the palace, the emperor was discussing the affairs of Prince Kang's Mansion with Prime Minister Hua. Prince Kang's only legitimate son died, leaving only an unfavored illegitimate son, a illegitimate son who almost no one knew about, to be asked to be named the crown prince. It can be seen how unwilling Prince Kang would be.
"In my opinion, according to common sense, an old father who lost his beloved son would definitely take revenge to avenge his son. So next, Prince Kang's Mansion will definitely send assassins to the capital. They have tried to assassinate the emperor, but it is impossible. However, they will always find an opportunity to assassinate the princes, especially the crown prince."
"Therefore, this old minister suggests that the Crown Prince should leave the palace as little as possible and have enough guards around him. As for other princes, they must also be guarded against. It is unreasonable for an old father to avenge his beloved son."
"Well, my dear minister, what you said is very true." Of course, the emperor also thought of this. If anyone killed his Cheng'er, he would definitely mobilize the whole country to avenge him.
"The Queen had intended to marry the Prime Minister's eldest daughter to Prince Xuan as his principal wife. What do you think of the Prime Minister?"
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Hua knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I am terrified. I dare not hide anything. My wife received the Empress's decree earlier and I was ecstatic. But my daughter was not able to bear it. She went to Shuiyue Temple since she was young. I immediately sent someone to bring her back, hoping to teach her a lesson. But my daughter was unlucky. On the day of the banquet at Prince Xuan's Palace, she jumped into the river because of a trivial matter and has been missing since then."
Hua Yuwei is very smart. The emperor must have known all about this matter. If he dared to hide anything, he would not be able to hold the position of prime minister now.
"It's okay, just bring the person back." The emperor was not angry. To Prime Minister Hua, it meant that the marriage had to be done no matter what.
"I have sent people to search for her in many places, but there is no trace of her. I am afraid she has already..." Prime Minister Hua did not dare to say anything. The emperor was talking about the eldest daughter, not the daughter of the Hua family. He did not dare to rashly suggest whether it was okay to marry another daughter.
Others may not know the emperor's feelings for the Fu family, but Hua Yuwei must know it. He has identified her as the granddaughter of the Fu family, and she will be able to restrain the Fu family in the future.
Princess Jing'an received the message before Prime Minister Hua left the palace. It seems that she has to act in advance. The scene originally prepared for Liu Jingcheng at Prince Xuan's Mansion that day was paused by Hua Xiyu jumping into the river. Now that the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion has jumped into the river and died, the Emperor is still thinking about arranging a marriage. She can't be blamed for taking the first step.
As the eldest princess' daughter, she not only had to be the principal wife, but also the only mistress of Prince Xuan's mansion.
