The emperor's movement to arrest An Huajin was so great that he ordered the palace guards, the Imperial Guards and the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and mobilized the soldiers and horses from the Jinglu Military and Horse Camp. In three days, The fishing documents were posted all over the place except Nanyang and Mobei. Nanyang couldn't even think about such a huge movement.
The moment the old Nanyang King got the news, he was stunned for a long time. In disbelief, he asked Shen Yuanzhi, who was the first to get the news and came to him in a hurry, "Is this true?"
Shen Yuanzhi nodded, holding the sea arrest document torn from somewhere else in his hand, "Grandpa An, look, your Majesty has even issued the sea arrest document. She is wanted all over the world. How can it not be true?"< /p>
Old Nanyang King frowned, "How did she offend His Majesty?"
Shen Yuanzhi said angrily, "I sent someone to inquire. There are many opinions outside, and I don't know what happened. I need to inquire in detail. In short, it is said that she killed Hua Hua on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet. Xiyu, cut off the head of Hua Xiyu, Hua Xiyu died miserably, and Hua Xiyu was pregnant with the emperor's heir. His Majesty was furious and wanted to kill her for the crime of murdering the emperor's heir."
The old Nanyang King's face darkened, "Hua Xiyu is the one..."
"It's the sinful girl from Shilibao, the eldest lady from Shilibao. The last time she returned to Nanyang, she passed by Qianshui League and subdued Shen Rufeng. Shen Rufeng helped her capture Hua Siyu and sent her to the capital, which caused six The prince's case was solved and Hua Siyu was thrown into the prison. When his Majesty went to visit Zhang Zaifu in the prison, he happened to see her and took her out of the prison and brought her back to the palace. After that, she was favored every day for less than a month. , she became pregnant, and His Majesty loved her very much and was obsessed with her. Even if Xiao An'er was intercepted and killed on her way to Beijing and her handiwork was found out, His Majesty would only send her to the cold palace and not take her life. The imperial edict said that he would not visit her before she gave birth to an heir. Instead, he broke his promise and gained weight. He went to the cold palace to see her every day just for a walk. This woman is a disaster."
The old King of Nanyang said, "This Hua Xiyu was beaten to death because of the little girl. She suffered a complete defeat, and was thrown into the cold palace because of the little girl. I must hate her very much, right?"
"Definitely." Shen Yuanzhi nodded, "That woman, when she was the eldest lady of Shilibao, had a reputation for being cruel and ruthless. She is a good match for Shen Rufeng of Qianshui League, but Shen Rufeng is better than her. Judging the situation, we found that the woman was arrogant and domineering, and had too much ambition. She wanted to annex Shen Rufeng's power, so Shen Rufeng secretly hated her. After meeting Xiao An'er, Shen Rufeng took the opportunity to bite her back."
The old Nanyang King’s brows knitted into knots, “How could Your Majesty like such a woman?”
"This woman is not a good thing. She is good at seducing. It is said that she is good in bed, good-looking, and very charming. She is exactly what His Majesty likes." Shen Yuanzhi said angrily.
Old Nanyang King was silent for a moment.
Shen Yuanzhi said, "Grandpa An, we all know little An'er. She is not someone who kills people randomly. She must have a reason."
The old King of Nanyang nodded, "If something like this happens, where is the Gu family? What do they say?"
Mentioning the Gu family, Shen Yuanzhi suddenly became energetic, said "Hey" and said, "The engagement you made for her back then did have merit. It is said that Gu Qingyan broke into the cold palace on the day of the palace banquet. , he was so angry that he became a beauty, killed hundreds of imperial guards, rescued Xiao An'er, and then left the palace with others, and his whereabouts are still missing."
Old Nanyang King: "..."
He was a little unbelievable and a little doubtful, "You mean, Huai'an went against His Majesty for the little girl? He actually killed hundreds of imperial guards?"
"Isn't it? It's spread all over the world." Shen Yuanzhi said, "Grandpa An, you don't believe it, do you? When I first heard the news, I didn't believe it either, so I sent someone to check it out carefully. It's true. Son, everyone is talking about Master Gu Qi becoming a beauty out of anger. His reputation as a romantic is even more resounding throughout the world than his talent.
"Nonsense!" Old Nanyang King said, "What a good reputation this is!"
Shen Yuanzhi laughed happily, "I originally thought that he became famous at a young age, but his fame may be false. Now that I look at it like this, he is quite admirable. Not everyone dares to talk to His Majesty in the palace. Even the Imperial Guard dared to fight against him. He is really the only one in the world."
The old Nanyang King stared at Shen Yuanzhi.
Shen Yuanzhi shrugged, "Grandpa An, think about it, if he didn't take action, something might have happened to little An'er. If something happened to her, your heart would be so painful? So, Gu Qingyan did this, What's wrong? It must be praised? Don't you think so? Why are you staring at me?"
Old Nanyang King: "..."
He was speechless for a while, but after a while, he laughed angrily, "That old guy Lao Gu is probably going to be pissed to death by his grandson."
Shen Yuanzhi thought about it seriously. If he had such a promising grandson, he ruined his reputation and went against His Majesty for a woman at the palace banquet. Now the trouble would be known to the whole world. Mr. Gu, the good official minister, would not do it. , I don’t know where he has gone, and he is afraid that he will be angry to death.
He felt sorry for Mr. Gu for a while, and then chuckled, "Nowadays, there are rumors that Xiao An'er has returned to Nanyang. I am just guessing, do you think Xiao An'er will bring Gu Qingyan to Nanyang? Otherwise, he Why are you nowhere to be seen so far? Why haven’t you gone to His Majesty to confess your guilt?”
The old King Nanyang thought for a while and said uncertainly, "No way!"
For so many years, Mr. Gu has kept a close eye on people and has not allowed him to leave the capital without making any mistakes. He knows this, so can he not be able to control him this time? Or is it the instruction of Mr. Gu?
He stroked his beard and suddenly asked, "Your Majesty wants to kill the little girl now, but has the An-Gu marriage been cancelled?"
"Cancelled." Shen Yuanzhi clicked his tongue and said, "After what happened, His Majesty canceled the An-Gu marriage first. Now the two of them have no engagement."
Mr. Gu sighed, "Your Majesty has wanted to cancel this marriage for a long time, but now he finally got his wish."
Shen Yuanzhi curled his lips and said, "Grandpa An, tell me, your Majesty has so many women in his harem, including three thousand beauties, plump women, and thin women. Why is he so attracted to a flower-like jade? He has so many heirs, but he is short of a woman." What does it mean to have an heir who is still a sinner? Even if a child like a flower is born, with the status of a sinner like a flower, can he be crowned king or crown prince? Your Majesty is so angry that he insists on killing Xiao An'er. He really doesn't care about us. The Prince of Nanyang saw in his eyes that generations of the An family had made great contributions to Chu, guarded the borders and people of Chu, and had repelled many invasions from the Southern Qi and Nanliang. How many battlefields had the An family buried their bones? His Majesty did not even think about it at all. If Xiao An'er is wrong, it won't be a capital crime, right?"
The old King of Nanyang was silent, his face was hard to distinguish, and he didn't say a word.
Shen Yuanzhi looked at the expression on the old Prince Nanyang's face and wanted to say something else. He was afraid of irritating the old prince, so he simply kept his mouth shut.
After a while, the old King of Nanyang leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes, "Nanyang is seven or eight thousand miles away from the capital. We still don't know what happened to the little girl in the capital and the details. However, my I know that my granddaughter is not a random murderer. There must be a reason for her to be angry and kill someone. In addition, the kid Huai'an often corresponds with me. Although I have never met him, I have some idea of his temper. Understand, he is not a random person."
Shen Yuanzhi immediately agreed, "Grandpa An is right, so it must be His Majesty..."
The old King of Nanyang opened his eyes, waved his hand to stop Shen Yuanzhi from talking, his eyes were clear, "Pass this order to all Nanyang, no one is allowed to talk nonsense about this matter before the little girl comes back, any violation will be punished by the Tenth Army." Stick. ”
Shen Yuanzhi stopped talking, "Yes."
The old King of Nanyang said again, "In addition, please go ahead and watch the entire Nanyang City carefully to make sure there are no mistakes. In particular, pay close attention to the movements of Southern Qi and Nanliang, and don't let the two countries take the opportunity to enter."
"Yes." Shen Yuanzhi nodded and thought for a while, then asked, "Grandpa An, do you want to send someone to pick her up along the way?"
"No need." Old Nanyang King shook his head, "If she gets into trouble and can't even come home, then she deserves it. Don't worry about her."
Shen Yuanzhi coughed.
The old King of Nanyang glared at him, "You don't have to secretly send someone to pick her up, do you hear me? If I find out, I'll give you fifty army sticks."
Shen Yuanzhi's face fell and he curled his lips, "Grandpa An, don't worry, I won't be beaten by you just to help her."
Old Nanyang King snorted and waved his hand, "You'd better be obedient."
Shen Yuanzhi walked out of the old Nanyang King's courtyard with a flat mouth.
As soon as he walked out of the old Nanyang King's courtyard, he saw Cui Zhuo face to face. He stopped and blinked, "Brother Cui Shi, are you here for matters in Beijing? If it is for this, there is no need to go to Grandpa An. Otherwise, if you go, he will have to warn you so that you don't have to send someone to pick up Xiao An'er. He warned me that if he sends someone to pick up Xiao An'er, he will beat me with fifty military sticks, so don't come forward."
Cui Zhuo stopped and asked, "What does Brother Shen Shi mean?"
Shen Yuanzhi approached Cui Zhuo and whispered, "I mean, you sent someone to take care of her! How can we ignore her? What if she was injured when she left the capital? What if she can't deal with the people who are chasing her? Can she come back? What should I do?"
Cui Zhuo nodded, with a solemn look on his face, "Okay, I won't go see Grandpa An anymore. I will send someone to pick her up along the way."
