She seemed to be relaxed and joked that it was useless for her to think about it at this time, so she should wait until she got back to Beijing.
And her reminder surprised Gu Zixu.
When they went on an outing, the group of men in black were clearly here for Xiaoyu, but they didn't take it too seriously at the time. But Xiaoyu mentioned it again, compared to what she had experienced on the way to Hejin County.
Once.
It seems that the group of people who are hiding behind the scenes to deal with Xiao Yu should not be underestimated too much.
"Well, when we get back to Beijing, I will send someone to investigate."
He reached out and helped Shangguan Yu up from the chair, "It will take more than ten days to return to Beijing from here. If you feel uncomfortable on the way, you must tell me, you know?"
"Yeah, I got it."
Everything was ready and ready to go, and Yuan Fei's army also set off back to the camp. Only part of the army escorted a group of people from the Duke's Mansion all the way to the capital.
Ten days later——
The journey back to Beijing went smoothly, but the news that An Guogong was planning to rebel had already reached the capital, and everyone in the Duke's office was soon taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to await punishment.
At the entrance of the palace, the princess, the royal concubine and all the ministers were waiting there.
The princess had a kind smile on her face and seemed very happy to see the emperor appear.
But no one would know how disappointed the Wang family would be with the emperor's safety.
Everyone has their own theories and speculations about who Duke An Guo colluded with in the court, but in the final analysis, it was either the Shangguan family or the Wang family.
Furthermore, this time, the person who helped the emperor was Shangguancheng, so wouldn't the suspicion of the Wang family become even greater?
Although the ministers all knew it in their hearts, they only tacitly understood it for the sake of protecting their own safety.
With a smile on her face, the princess walked up to Nangong Shuo and said, "It's good that the emperor is back safely, but I'm worrying my mother to death."
The princess held Nangong Shuo's hand as affectionately as her own son.
Nangong Shuo curled his lower lip coldly in his heart and nodded slightly to the princess, "Mother-in-law is worried."
His expression was not as warm as the princess's, and there was an obvious sense of alienation in his politeness.
On the other hand, the noble concubine Wang Lin's eyes lit up when she saw Nangong Shuo coming back.
With a light step, she walked up to Nangong Shuo and swung her hips, took his arm and said delicately:
"Your Majesty, I learned that you were assassinated outside the palace. I was frightened. I have not thought about food and drink these days. I asked the Bodhisattva to bless you to come back safely. Now I finally hope that you will come back.
It’s not in vain that Fei Chen, my concubine, has been praying for the emperor all day long these days.”
Wang Lin kept standing next to Nangong Shuo, and in every sentence she deliberately mentioned something she had done for Nangong Shuo.
Shangguan Yu stood aside and couldn't help but feel funny in his heart.
His eyes turned to Nangong Shuo and Wang Lin. At this time, Wang Lin was still the same as before, and she wanted to stick to Nangong Shuo.
She was still a little bit disgusted in her heart, but she still allowed herself to ignore such a scene.
From the corner of Nangong Shuo's eyes, he caught a glimpse of the slight loneliness on Shangguan Yu's face. His heart tightened and a hint of distress flashed in his eyes.
But his next actions made Shangguan Yu's heart feel even colder.
I saw his palm gently covering Wang Lin's palm on his arm and clenching it slightly.
