Xu Rongrong gave such urgent instructions. Luo Chen knew that the matter must be related to Chuhe, so he asked:

"But Guard Chu is in danger?"

Xu Rongrong was slightly startled when he heard this: "How did you know?"

Luo Chen was very busy during this period. He hardly touched the ground every day, so he naturally obtained more information:

"As soon as His Majesty's edict came out last month, border trade was about to be reopened. Not only people from Beijing, but also people from surrounding prefectures heard about it. Luming Lane next to Honglu Temple has now become the busiest place in Beijing. Place. Since February, people from Yaxing have been asking me if I have any idea of ​​selling the house. Today I went there on an errand. I happened to meet someone from the palace who came to deliver the order, saying that I wanted the Imperial Guard to escort me. The southern Xinjiang mission has left Beijing."

"The villain remembered that Guard Chu was now on duty in the Forbidden Army, so he kept an eye on it. When the person who delivered the order left, he used money to treat a familiar servant of Honglu Temple to dinner. As expected, he found out that Guard Chu was also escorting him. on the list.”

"I originally wanted to report to the young lady tomorrow, but when I saw the young lady summoning the young lady overnight, I felt that this matter must be related to the guards of Chu. Perhaps the road south is dangerous, so you thought of ordering someone to follow you secretly."

Seeing how transparent he was, Xu Rongrong naturally didn't hide anything.

She didn't want to make it too clear just now, it was not to guard against Luo Chen, but to worry about the four people who had just signed the death contract.

Seeing that Luo Chen already knew it, she expressed her worries: "...Chu He has a cold temperament and refuses to talk to me even if there is danger. It's just that something strange happened today, and this matter has happened again I am worried about the emperor's mission, so I asked you to send someone to follow."

Luo Chen was convinced: "I understand, let's make arrangements now so that no one will suspect the young lady."

The matter was urgent, Luo Chen left immediately after saying that.

Looking at his back as he hurried away, Xu Rongrong was thoughtful.

"What's wrong, miss? But what's wrong with my brother running an errand?" Luo Shu asked hurriedly when he saw this.

Xu Rongrong shook his head: "Your brother has too many things to shoulder now. I'm really afraid that he won't be able to handle it alone. I have to find some suitable helpers for him."

Luo Shu nodded when he heard this: "Young lady, don't worry. Shu Langzhong is now in charge of the drug store, and my brother has become a lot more relaxed. It's just that he had been thinking about other things to make a living, and was delayed by the preparation of porcelain for the Flower Festival Garden Party. Some."

Xu Rongrong smiled and said: "Your brother is really determined to make the reputation of 'Tao Gong' famous in the capital."

……

Over at Zhuxiang Yayuan, Xu Rongrong was thinking about how to help Luo Chen lighten some of his burden.

On the other side of Weiyuan Hou Mansion, Mu Rong frowned: "Chuhe is going to Southern Xinjiang?"

"Exactly," Mu Yi said, "The imperial edict was sent to Honglu Temple in the afternoon, and we will set off tomorrow."

"It seems that His Majesty is waiting for an opportunity to attack Wai." Mu Rong took a deep breath, "Have you found out why Your Majesty must put Wai to death?"

Mu Yi shook his head and said: "There is no news from the palace yet. The deputy commander of the Forbidden Army has tried many times. I only know that His Majesty ordered him to do it at all costs, but I don't know the reason."

Mu Rong frowned deeply and said nothing for a long time.

Mu Yi was a little confused when he saw this: "Although I don't know what your Majesty is thinking at the moment, it has nothing to do with what you are planning at the moment. What are you worried about?"

Even if the emperor really overturns the sky in southern Xinjiang, it will not have any impact on the third prince's succession. I don't know why my prince is so frowning.

Mu Rong glanced at him: "I'm afraid that Chu He's trip to southern Xinjiang will never come back."

His Majesty has no intention of letting this group of Imperial Guards send the Valiwai brothers and sisters back to southern Xinjiang alive...

His Majesty will not allow such a sinister thing to be leaked regardless of the reasons for it. Therefore, killing and silencing it after completing the errand is his only option.

Therefore, the Chu River will definitely go away and never return.

Mu Yi was shocked when he heard this: "This... what should we do?"

"Is Mu Ai's injury healed?" Mu Rong asked.

"As soon as I tell you, Vice General Ai has completely recovered."

"Then let him go with you. Don't care about others. Just be optimistic about Chuhe's life." Mu Rong said in a deep voice.

Chu He resurrected his life and served in the Imperial Army for many years in his previous life. He must be very clear about what this imperial mission means.If he and Mu Ai couldn't protect their lives even if they joined forces, I'm afraid the power the emperor secretly cultivated would have exceeded his imagination.

……

The sudden departure of the southern Xinjiang mission from Beijing did not cause much turmoil in the palace.

After all, since February, the envoys from various places delivering tributes to the palace have all left the capital, except for... Northern Xinjiang.

Princess Lingxi was eating snacks in the palace. When she heard the news about Vai from southern Xinjiang leaving the capital, she snorted coldly: "I thought she wanted to be rewarded by a princess while staying in the capital."

The maid on the side laughed and said: "How can anyone receive the title of Princess? What's more, she is simple-minded, and the nobles in the palace are laughing at her secretly. If she is really named Princess, I am afraid she will lose His Majesty's favor. Face."

Princess Lingxi raised her eyebrows: "Having said that, it's too early to leave. I still want to invite her to my haircut ceremony."

"I think your majesty is trying to get them to leave at this time because you are afraid that the people in southern Xinjiang will be jealous of your haircut ceremony... After all, this is a ceremony that your majesty promised the queen to preside over in person." The maid's continuous flattery made her Lingxi felt very comfortable.

She narrowed her eyes: "Having said that, it's just that the Queen is tired of the King's affairs, and I'm afraid she doesn't have any thoughts on me. Seeing that March [-]th is getting closer and closer, why doesn't the Queen even once? Summon me? Could it be that you...forgot?"

When the maid heard this, she hurriedly said: "How could it be? This is an errand ordered by His Majesty himself."

"I'm afraid the queen won't take her seriously." Lingxi snorted coldly, "I can't just sit here and wait! Fortunately, before entering the capital, my father had already ordered someone to hand over the details of Dazhou and the Hairpin Ceremony to me. Everything can be left to the Queen, after all, she doesn’t dare to mess around with the etiquette here, but the person to be praised... I want to choose it myself."

Seeing her princess say this, the maid knew that she already had a candidate in mind: "Who is the princess planning to invite to be the complimenter?"

"Ping'an County Lord Xu Rongrong." Lingxi smiled slightly, "I think she is very good."

When the maid heard this, her eyebrows jumped.

After following Princess Lingxi for many years, she naturally understood that her master was a drunkard and had no intention of drinking.

"Although the Princess of Ping'an County was granted the title of County Lord by the emperor's grace, she is still the daughter of a low-status sixth-grade official. In addition, her biological mother died young and her stepmother did not like it... Asking her to be the praiser would only lower the county's reputation. Lord your identity.”

Lingxi sneered and said, "Her status is a bit low, but it's not her that I fancy, but... Marquis Weiyuan."
