Chapter Fifty-Three: The Royal Lady of the Rong Kingdom
"In your opinion, what is the reason for General Chen's sudden return to the court?" Chen Shangshu stroked his beard and looked at Yang Hanlun thoughtfully.
"Based on what I know about General Chen, he will not come back easily unless summoned and secretly ordered by the emperor!" Yang Shaolun said with certainty.
"General Chen was ambushed as soon as he came back, and the person who ambushed him must be highly skilled in martial arts. With General Chen's martial arts, there are not many people in the world who can defeat him. But I heard from Shangguan's doctor that General Chen's injuries were
They were ordinary stab wounds. Apart from the impact on the head, there is no way to tell that he was injured by a master." Chen Shangshu analyzed it clearly.
"Yes, I have also seen his wounds. It looks like a move used by a person who does not understand martial arts. He was easily knocked down. If it was just a knife wound on his body, it would not be possible for him to lose his ability to resist." Yang Hanlun
He tilted his head and frowned. This is a big question!
"When I was investigating, I found something very interesting." Chen Shangshu looked at Yang Hanlun and suddenly said this.
"Oh? What's the matter!" Yang Hanlun immediately sat upright!
"In the woods outside the city, someone saw General Chen supporting an injured old woman, followed by a young girl. They came out of the woods and walked toward the city together!"
"This can be understood as General Chen acted bravely and saved the injured old woman. The girl behind may be a relative of the old woman!" Yang Hanlun said.
"The problem is, this old woman is from the Rong Kingdom! Her attire is that of the royal family of the Rong Kingdom!" Chen Shangshu said in surprise! Yang Hanlun was shocked. Although the Rong Kingdom has reached a friendly agreement with our country, there are still conflicts between the royal families.
The exchange is unusual. The agreement states that if anyone from the Rong royal family wants to come to the Daxing Dynasty, they must notify the foreign envoy, who will report to the court, and the court will receive the foreign guests with etiquette. But recently, the court has not received any visits from the Rong royal family.
Excerpts from the DPRK. So who is this old woman? Why did she go to Beijing directly without an envoy?
"Who said this? How did Mr. Chen learn about it?" Yang Hanlun looked at Chen Shangshu seriously. This matter is of great importance, and it is necessary to determine whether the source of the information is reliable.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the source of the information is absolutely reliable. It was witnessed by the steward of the lower official's house. He even said hello to General Chen, but General Chen ignored him and supported the old woman and walked forward without saying a word.
The housekeeper didn’t tell the official when he came back. It wasn’t until the emperor ordered the official to investigate the matter that the housekeeper told the official!”
"Has Butler Chen seen it with his own eyes?" Yang Hanlun knew that Butler Chen was a martial arts man who was rescued by Chen Shangshu a few years ago. In order to repay his kindness, he was willing to become a servant of the Chen family. Yang Hanlun had seen him many times and he was a man of martial arts.
A tough man! If he saw it with his own eyes, then he wouldn't be wrong.
"It's absolutely true!" Chen Shangshu nodded and said.
"Have you reported this to the Emperor?"
"The emperor is injured, so I haven't had time to report yet!" Chen Shangshu said with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Well, I will go into the palace to meet the saint now!" Yang Hanlun said solemnly.
"Then it's up to you, Prince Lao!"
"Farewell!" Yang Hanlun turned to leave. Chen Shangshu asked from behind: "I heard that the emperor's suppression of bandits this time was for the sake of the Sixth Princess, right?"
Yang Hanlun was visibly startled. Who spread the news about these things? He turned around calmly, "As far as I know, the reason why the emperor went on a personal expedition was because the bandits in Tianlang Mountain were too rampant, and the emperor saw that he had sent out troops many times to no avail.
When he returned, he was so angry that he ordered Xiao Yuan to send out troops to fight and suppress him! Where did Mr. Chen hear these words from? "
"I just heard what I heard and asked casually. Your Majesty, don't take it to heart!" Chen Shangshu smiled sarcastically, and Yang Hanlun caught the flash of panic in his eyes.
"It's okay to say these words in front of me, but if someone goes up to heaven to hear it, it will be a serious crime. Mr. Chen should be careful what he says!" Yang Hanlun tried hard to control the unhappiness in his heart, although he didn't know where this emotion came from.
"Please keep this in mind, your Majesty. If Your Majesty wants to see Birou, please invite me first!" Chen Shangshu said with a smile on his face.
"Forget it, I'll come see her another day. I have to go to the palace now! Say goodbye!" For some reason, he suddenly didn't want to see Birou! Is it because Chen Shangshu just mentioned her? Is the emperor really doing this for her?
Regardless of the danger, he put aside his identity as the Nine-Five Lord to exterminate the little bandits? Even if it is, what can he do? She is already his second cousin, and he has no right to interfere!
"Farewell, Your Majesty!" Chen Shangshu's face flashed with a deep expression, and his eyes were full of calculation!
