The streets were quiet in the early morning, and soldiers with weapons were stationed at every distance on both sides of the streets.
Apart from these people, there were almost no people visible on the entire street. Luo Junyao lifted the curtain of the car window and looked out. From time to time, he could still see the destroyed buildings on the street and the bloodstains on the wall and the ground that had not yet been cleaned.
The carriage arrived at the gate of the Luo family without any obstruction. There were also many soldiers stationed on the street outside the Luo family gate, but they were all soldiers of the Dingguo Army.
Hearing that the second young lady was back, the Luo family's concierge quickly opened the door and invited her in.
Luo Junyao entered the Luo Mansion very quickly, and when he reached the atrium, Su Shi came to greet him. Su Shi also had a tired look on her brows, obviously she had not slept all night.
"Shao Yao, you're back." Seeing Luo Junyao, Su Shi was obviously relieved.
Luo Junyao stepped forward and took Su's arm and said, "Don't worry, mother, she's fine. Nothing happened at home last night, right?"
Su Shi shook her head and said: "It's okay if it's okay. Our family was fine last night. Nothing happened." In fact, it wasn't okay. The regent suddenly sent someone to send the young emperor to the Luo family last night. Brother Luo Jinyan was not there.
Luo Yun was unconscious again, and Mrs. Luo couldn't take it seriously. It was a lie to say that Su Shi was not afraid.
In the middle of the night, the Luo family was surrounded by people from outside. Although they were protected by soldiers from the Dingguo Army, those people did not rush in. The Su family was still a little frightened, and she almost didn't sleep a wink all night.
"Is A Cheng okay?" Luo Junyao asked.
Mrs. Su nodded, lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty was in my yard. He woke up twice during the night and fell asleep again when it was almost dawn."
Although the little emperor was young, he must have been frightened when he was suddenly sent out of the palace by the regent in the middle of the night.
Although Su Shi carefully comforted her, it was of little use.
Su Shi looked at Luo Junyao's face and said hesitantly: "But, what happened?"
Luo Jun said: "The Queen Mother has passed away."
"..." Mrs. Su was silent for a long time, and then she sighed and said, "I will instruct the people below to clean up in a moment." When the Queen Mother passed away, according to the rules, people from both the government and the public paid homage and mourned. Not long ago, the Luo family held two events in a row.
It is a happy event, so all the festive things in the house must be taken down and not used again.
The two of them walked to Luo Yun's yard together. Luo Junyao wanted to see his father first.
While walking, Luo Junyao asked, "Is everything okay over there, big sister?"
Su said: "Don't worry, your eldest sister sent someone back early in the morning to deliver a message. Everything is fine at home. She also said thank you for sending a few people there."
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay. There was too much noise last night. I'm afraid a lot of people in the city were scared."
Luo Yun was still lying unconscious. Seeing his father lying on the bed ignorantly, Luo Junyao couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.
Although Yao Zhong said that being drunk for a thousand days was harmless to the body, how could a good person be in a coma for ten days without any impact at all?
It's a shame she thought he was a good uncle at first...
Oops!!
Thinking of Yao Zhong, Luo Junyao finally remembered what she had forgotten in this chaotic night. She couldn't help raising her hand and patted her forehead. Under Su's surprised eyes, Luo Junyao reluctantly expressed to her that she was fine, and then
Turning around and going out, he was met with a double shadow, "Last night...nothing happened in Prince Mu's Mansion and Dingyang Marquis' Mansion, right?"
How did Duiying know? He was either following the princess or busy in the palace last night, and he didn't have time to receive other news from last night.
but……
"It should be fine, right? If something big happens, someone will definitely report it. And since the prince didn't mention it, it shouldn't be anything big." Dui Ying said uncertainly.
Luo Junyao sighed, "Let's have someone check it out."
"yes."
After coming out of Luo Yun's courtyard, Luo Junyao went to see Xie Cheng again.
Xie Cheng had already woken up. When he saw Luo Junyao's eyes lit up, he immediately rushed over and hugged her legs, "Little Auntie Huang!"
Luo Junyao stretched out his hand and rubbed his little head, and said softly: "A Cheng, how were you last night?"
Xie Cheng nodded obediently and said: "Ah Cheng is very good, and Mrs. Luo is also very good to Ah Cheng."
Su smiled and said: "It is an honor for the Luo family to receive and serve His Majesty, and it is also the duty of the Luo family as ministers."
Xie Cheng blinked and said: "General Luo and Mrs. Luo are the parents of the little imperial aunt, and they are the elders. The imperial grandmother and the Taifu said that you must be polite to your elders. A Cheng should thank Mrs. Luo for taking care of her."
Su thought to herself: Apart from the Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother, and Her Highness the Regent, who in this world dares to claim to be His Majesty's elder.
Luo Jun said: "The master is right, A Cheng has learned very well."
Xie Cheng tugged at Luo Junyao's sleeves with some embarrassment, "Little Aunt Huang, can we go back to the palace? A Cheng misses the imperial grandmother and the queen mother."
Hearing this, Luo Junyao looked slightly gloomy.
She really didn't know how to tell this little child that his mother had passed away.
Su suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the Regent is sending you out of the palace because the Regent and the Queen Mother have important things to do. Why don't you stay at our house for a while? Wait for the Regent to come over and then take you into the palace."
good?"
Xie Cheng tilted his head slightly and asked, "Uncle Huang, are they all busy?"
Su nodded and said: "Yes, you heard it too. There was a lot of noise outside last night. And before you leave the palace, did the regent have any instructions?"
Xie Cheng said: "The emperor said that Ah Cheng should stay at Luo's house and wait for him to come and take Ah Cheng back to the palace in person."
"No," said Su, "the regent hasn't come yet."
Xie Cheng thought for a while, "Okay." He raised his head and said to Luo Junyao: "Then, can the little imperial aunt tell the emperor's uncle and ask him to pick up A Cheng quickly?" Luo Junyao said softly, feeling slightly sour.
: "Okay, I'll go find your uncle soon and tell him that Ah Cheng is homesick."
"Yeah, thank you, little aunt!"
Although Xie Cheng was outside the palace, he still maintained a good schedule. Luo Junyao stayed with him for a while, and then a chamberlain beside him came to ask for instructions, saying that it was time for His Majesty to do morning lessons. Although Xie Cheng was a little reluctant to leave, he was still well-behaved.
He followed the chamberlain to the study room specially set aside for him by the Su family to study and do homework.

Su Shi also sighed and said softly: "Shao Yao, let the regent tell your majesty personally about the Queen Mother's affairs."
Luo Junyao knew what she was worried about, and she really couldn't bear to tell Xie Cheng the news at this time.
Intellectually, I knew that I would have to say something like this sooner or later and I couldn't hide it for long, but when I was really facing such a child, it was particularly difficult to open my mouth.
"Mother, I know." Luo Junyao held Su's hand and said, "I'll go back and discuss with Ayan how to tell Acheng."
"Princess!" Outside the courtyard door, a shadow hurriedly walked in.
Seeing Su Shi and Luo Junyao standing together, Die Ying paused and swallowed the words that came to his lips. Su Shi said clearly: "I still have things to do, so you should go and do it too." Luo Junyao said: "Mother
I haven't slept all night, so let's go and rest for a while." Su Shi raised her hand and rubbed the center of her brow, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, once in a while it's not a big deal. Go ahead."
The two of them came out of the courtyard, and then the shadows whispered: "Something happened in Prince Mu's Mansion."
"Prince Mu's Mansion?" Luo Junyao looked back at him, "Where is Dingyang Hou Mansion?"
Duoying said: "Someone broke into Dingyanghou's Mansion last night, but with Prince Dingyang and the people from Wenjian Pavilion there, nothing serious happened. It's just that...Dingyanghou is missing."
Luo Junyao stopped and looked at the shadow in disbelief, "You mean nothing happened?"
Duoying said: "The Marquis of Dingyang was not captured by that person, he is suspected to have disappeared. That person... is also looking for the Marquis of Dingyang, saying that if he cannot be found, he will kill the entire Dingyang Marquis Mansion."
In fact, if Prince Dingyang was not really weak and those at Wenjian Pavilion tried their best to protect him, the Dingyang Mansion might have been almost bloodbathed last night.
Luo Junyao asked: "Ayan didn't say how to deal with the affairs of Dingyanghou Mansion?"
The overlapping image said: "The prince said... we can't let the old, young, women and children hurt the merchant."
In other words, if he wanted to kill Dingyang Marquis and Shang Yue, Xie Yan would not care.
In Xie Yan's current position, it is really two-faced to get involved in this matter, and he is not a good person inside and outside.
If he helps Yao Zhong, in the eyes of many people, it means that the court has failed the merchants.
The old Marquis of Shang has been dead for many years, and the merchants did not get the slightest benefit from that incident. It was all for the sake of the Xie family and the people of Qinan. If the Xie family was not incompetent and could not come up with money and food for disaster relief, why would the Shang Marquis take such desperate risks?
? Even that incident was not instigated by Shang Hou. Regardless of whether Shang Hou was involved or not, it was destined to happen.
But if Xie Yan protects the merchants, it would be unfilial and would even be helping evil.
No matter what the purpose of the merchant is, it is a huge sin to participate in the extermination of a whole family, not to mention that the Yao family is Xie Yan's maternal grandfather's family.
These, coupled with the roles played by King Mu and Princess Mu, make it a mess that makes people wonder how to sort it out.
Duoying also sighed and whispered: "Dingyang Hou sent someone to deliver a letter to the prince before. He said that he would explain it to that person one by one. He only asked the prince to keep the merchants, women and children, and the rest did not need to participate."
Luo Junluo sighed in his heart, how can outsiders tell clearly whether the blood feud is right or wrong?
"Go and have a look." Luo Junyao said softly.
Duoying asked: "Going to Dingyanghou Mansion?"
Luo Jun shook his head, "Go to Prince Mu's Mansion first. I'm afraid Master Mingguang will be there at this time."
"The princess wants to persuade that person?" Duiying is not optimistic. Even the prince can't shake that person's idea, let alone the princess?
Luo Jun shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "How can I persuade people to give up revenge? How could I be so capable? If someone killed my parents and the whole family, I would probably want to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye! I just hope... Forget it, I will too
I don’t know what to hope for, so just take it one step at a time.”
