Princess Anping's funeral was not a grand affair, and even Hu Xiaotian did not receive any news. By the time he learned of the incident, the princess's ashes had been buried next to the tomb of her mother-in-law.
Hu Xiaotian was suddenly summoned into the palace without any warning. When he arrived at the Yangxin Hall, he saw a group of imperial guards getting ready. Murong Zhan, who rarely appeared in public recently, was actually there. He was there with
Qi Danei whispered something.
Hu Xiaotian went over to say hello to the two of them. As a deputy, he naturally had to be more proactive. Hu Xiaotian bowed and saluted: "Hello, Commander!"
Murong Zhan turned around and looked at him, hummed, turned around and left without saying a word to him. In front of all the imperial guards, Murong Zhan's doing this was tantamount to openly expressing his displeasure with Hu Xiaotian, which made Hu Xiaotian quite angry.
Awkward.
In fact, most of the imperial guards were not convinced by Hu Xiaotian, thinking that this guy He Dehe had unexpectedly risen to the position of deputy commander. When they saw Murong Zhan giving Hu Xiaotian a cold look, everyone secretly cheered.
Hu Xiaotian didn't take Murong Zhan's cold reception to heart and deliberately said loudly: "Congratulations, Commander-in-Chief!" He thought to himself, if you are not Feiyan's father, how can I spare you? Forget it, for the sake of your daughter
For the sake of serving me for the rest of my life, I will not care about you.
Qi Danai smiled at Hu Xiaotian, cupped his hands to Hu Xiaotian and said, "Why did Mr. Hu arrive at this time?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I came here without stopping after receiving the summons. You have received the news a long time ago? Why didn't you send someone to inform me?"
Qi Danai said: "Master Hu, we don't know what it is."
Hu Xiaotian was suspicious of the letter and said to himself that you guys, the guards, all regard me as an outsider. Just now I clearly saw you whispering to Murong Zhan, what are you whispering about? Now you are pretending to be stupid with me.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I will know after asking the emperor."
Hu Xiaotian knew that he couldn't get any information out of these guys, so he walked quickly towards the gate of Yangxin Palace. He was stopped by an old eunuch in front of the door. Hu Xiaotian recognized that this old eunuch had accompanied Long Xuanen at Piaomiao Peak.
Wang Qian, who had shared the joys and sorrows of Lingxiao Palace, did not expect that the old eunuch would see the light of day again one day when the clouds cleared and the moon was bright. He seemed to be much more energetic than the last time he saw him.
Wang Qian held the fly whisk in his hand and put it on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Master Hu, right?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "It's me! Eunuch Wang, we have met before!"
Wang Qian smiled and said: "The Za family remembers! Last year on New Year's Eve, Mr. Hu accompanied His Royal Highness Princess Anping to visit the Emperor."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Majesty, you really have a good memory." Since Wang Qian remembers it so clearly, he should not forget the scene when he rushed into the palace to rescue Long Xiyue from the old emperor. Wouldn't it be wrong if the old emperor also remembered it?
Trouble, remembering that he pushed the old guy to the ground because he was eager to save people, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel guilty when he thought of this.
Wang Qiandao: "Master Hu, please follow me. Your Majesty is waiting for you inside."
Hu Xiaotian followed Wang Qian into the Yangxin Palace. When he walked in, he smelled the smell of cigarette smoke. A group of palace maids and eunuchs stood on both sides without saying a word. They seemed extremely solemn. Hu Xiaotian whispered to Wang Qian: "Do you know that your majesty
Why did you summon me here?"
Wang Qian smiled and said: "You will know later."
There was a hazy figure behind the bead curtain in front, and Hu Xiaotian secretly guessed whether it was the emperor. Wang Qian winked at him, and Hu Xiaotian quickly knelt down and said, "The humble minister Hu Xiaotian pays homage to your majesty, long live my emperor!"
An old and deep voice came from behind the bead curtain: "No need, come in!"
Two palace maids used golden hooks to open the bead curtain. Hu Xiaotian got up and bowed and walked in. He saw the old emperor Long Xuanen sitting there. There was an incense burner on the table in front of him, with three incense sticks inserted in it and cigarettes lingering in the air.
Long Xuanen's profound eyes glanced at Hu Xiaotian's face, and his eyes were fixed on the colorful dragon gold medal around Hu Xiaotian's waist, and then nodded and said: "Do you know what I asked you to do?"
Hu Xiaotian said respectfully: "I don't know!"
Long Xuan'en said: "I will go to Tianlong Temple tonight, you accompany me there."
Hu Xiaotian was shocked, what? The old emperor had kept the news too tight, and no news had leaked out before. Didn’t he say that he would leave for Tianlong Temple only after Princess Anping was buried, so why did he suddenly change his mind? Or maybe
Has Princess Anping been buried quietly? Even though Hu Xiaotian had thousands of questions in his heart, he did not dare to raise them easily.
Long Xuan'en said: "I buried Xiyue's ashes yesterday." His voice was full of loneliness.
Only then did Hu Xiaotian know that Long Xuanen had buried the ashes. After all, Princess Anping was also a princess of the same country. Why was she buried so quietly? No princes or nobles were gathered to attend? He had not even heard about it. See
Long Xuanen came to Long Xuan'en intentionally to handle this matter in a low-key manner. At this time, Hu Xiaocai discovered an embroidered portrait of a woman placed on the altar table. The embroidered portrait should be very similar to Long Xiyue.
Long Xuan'en said: "The person I love the most in my life is Xiyue. If it were my wish, I would never marry her into the land of tigers and wolves."
Hu Xiaotian secretly sneered in his heart, you didn't want to marry Xiyue to Dayong. You wanted to marry her to Sharjah. Dayong is still the land of the Central Plains after all, and Sharjah is a wild place. You are more cruel than your good-for-nothing son.
Cold-blooded.
Long Xuan'en said: "Hu Xiaotian, I ask you, did Xiyue feel any pain before she died?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "The princess was assassinated. The incident happened suddenly, but the princess did not suffer much pain before she died."
Long Xuanen nodded: "Hearing what you said makes me feel better."
Hu Xiaotian said: "When is Your Majesty planning to set off?"
Long Xuan'en said: "Let's set off at Youshi!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I will go and prepare now!"
Long Xuanen said: "There is nothing to prepare. Commander Murong has already made arrangements for what should be prepared."
Hu Xiaotian finally understood why Murong Zhan appeared outside the Yangxin Hall just now. After a long time, all the imperial guards were ready, except for himself. Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He really regarded me as an outsider!
Long Xuanen waved his hand, signaling Hu Xiaotian to step back.
Hu Xiaotian followed Wang Qian to the outside of Yangxin Hall and said with a wry smile: "Eunuch Wang, are you going too?"
Wang Qian shook his head and said: "Originally I wanted to follow you, but your Majesty was sympathetic to the old slave's age and was afraid that I would not be able to endure the hardship, so he asked me to stay in the palace. Mr. Hu must take good care of your Majesty when he goes there."
Hu Xiaotian said in his heart that he still wanted me to take care of him? The old emperor brought himself to Tianlong Temple for some unknown purpose. Thinking of what his father had said to him before, the old emperor was now in the most tight situation.
, is bent on cheating the Jinling Xu family, is it to use this matter to put some pressure on the Xu family? If the Xu family doesn't make some blood, will they never be able to leave Tianlong Temple?
The more Hu Xiaotian thought about it, the more this possibility became possible. Even though he was the deputy commander of the imperial guards, among the hundreds of guards who went to Tianlong Temple to protect the old emperor, I am afraid that not one of them would be convinced by him, let alone listen to his command.
, maybe if the old emperor gives an order, these guards will rush up and chop him down.
I was in a hurry when I entered the palace just now, and I didn't know what was going on here, so I didn't have time to explain it to my family.
Hu Xiaotian said to Wang Qian: "Eunuch Wang, there is still some time before Youshi. I want to go back and tell my family first so as not to worry them."
Wang Qian still smiled and said: "No need, Mr. Hu's house will send someone to explain. The reason why Mr. Hu was not informed of his coming to the palace in advance is because the emperor's itinerary must be kept secret. In addition to accompanying his majesty to Tianlong
No one else knows about these people in the temple, and the news cannot be spread outside. This is also for His Majesty’s safety. Do you think that’s right, Mr. Hu?”
Hu Xiaotian groaned secretly in his heart, but he forced a smile on his face and said: "It should be, it should be, Eunuch Wang is responsible for everything."
Wang Qiandao: "Master Hu is also young and promising, otherwise His Majesty would not have chosen you to lead the team to be responsible for his safety. Although it is an honor for Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu must also understand the responsibilities he needs to shoulder. The Za family does not have to ask Hu
Sir, did you emphasize that?"
Hu Xiaotian heard the threatening meaning in Wang Qian's words, nodded and said: "I understand, I understand!"
Wang Qian saluted Hu Xiaotian and said: "The Za family will go and serve the emperor, Mr. Hu can do as he pleases!"
Hu Xiaotian looked around at the group of imperial guards standing upright below, and he was really angry. The one next to Mary didn't tell me such an important thing, how the hell do you still think of me as your boss? At this time, Qi Danei
He came over with a smile on his face: "Vice Commander, has your Majesty told you anything?"
Hu Xiaotian looked at Qi Danei with a sneer on his face. This guy was actually pretending to be stupid with him and did not point out. He put his hand on Qi Danei's shoulder, pulled him aside and said: "Your Majesty is ready to leave for Tianlong Temple."
Qi Danei pretended to be surprised and said: "Really?"
"Of course it is!"
Qi Danai said: "My subordinates, go and prepare now!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "What are you ready for? I think what you guys lack is not weapons, but courage, the courage to die for the emperor!" He hooked his finger at Qi Danei and put it in his ear.
Said: "Let them stand in line by the wall. I have something to say to them."
Although Qi Danei was dissatisfied, Hu Xiaotian was his immediate superior after all, so he could only summon a group of guards to stand by the wall.
Hu Xiaotian put his hands behind his back and walked to the front of the team with square steps and explained their mission. In fact, these guards knew before Hu Xiaotian that they wanted to protect the emperor during his trip, and everyone kept it secret from Hu Xiaotian.
