Chapter 370: The Mandarin Ducks
Zhao Su admitted that she is not dry politics material, she can’t play with the mind, but she at least IQ is still there, this half a year and she is immersed in the core of politics, plainly those dumb riddles they are more or less clear to her, but at the moment, Zhao Corner’s words she can’t understand!
“Who has achieved fame and fortune? Who did the eldest princess get in the way?”
Is he saying that he has already found out who did it?
It’s only been a while, how come she doesn’t know when he’s so divine!
“That’s what I said.” Zhao Sum looked at her, then his negative hand patted her shoulder, “Let’s go, go home.”
Zhao Su didn’t expect Zhao Sum to end the topic like this, the last response clearly sounded perfunctory, she didn’t believe it! But no matter how much she pressed, Zhao Sum also refused to reveal another word.
…… The world is in turmoil, but the full moon remains the same.
After the dawn of the city, it is again lively as usual.
Zhao Su, who hadn’t closed her eyes much, got up early in the morning and rushed to the Huo family again.
Huo Xiu has not yet come out of the palace, and the Huo family is now under the watchful eye of Han Jun. Although the story of Huo Mingyu’s disappearance has spread, the fact that Huo Xiu is the mastermind behind it hasn’t been leaked, so no one suspects that Huo Xiu is staying in the palace for another reason. Zhao Su crosses the shoulder-to-shoulder street to reach the Huo family’s entrance, and asks Hua Huirong to tie the carriage outside the door, and enters on foot himself.
Just under the door, he saw a carriage parked not far away, with a hand sticking out of the car, half lifting the curtain and looking towards the Huo family.
Zhao Su walked closer and looked, the face in the window shifted, and the curtain was lowered.
“Go back to the house.”
Luo Yanru commands.
The carriage drove away from the street and blended into the traffic. The sounds of pedestrians coming from her ears overshadowed everything, and only then did her curled up hands slowly loosen up. But her brows are still locked tight, her pretty face reveals sadness, without a single extra thought to pay attention to the others.
She knew what Huo Xiu was going to do last night, she originally had a full grasp of him, so the night before did not stay longer. But last night, the Huo family had an accident, and Huo Mingyu disappeared, while Huo Xiu came back from outside the city with the Emperor – how could he be with the Emperor? Long San? He went into the palace last night, why hasn’t he come out yet? This is not normal, she knows what Huo Mingyu means to him, right now the person is not found, if he has stabilized everything, it is impossible for him not to come out for such a long time.
Could it be that something has gone wrong?
Luo Yanru is very panicky, she grew up without such panic. Driving on the disturbed streets, her heart did not settle down for a single moment.
“Miss, should we continue on to the temple to meet up with madam and the others, or go back to the house?”
The maid asked.
She lifted her head, only then realizing that the carriage had stopped at the fork in the road, one side going to the Xiangguo Temple, the other side going to the Luo family. She has never been an indecisive person, but at this moment she doesn’t know what to choose, if everything is as usual, she should go to Xiangguo Temple to celebrate the festival with her family as if nothing has happened, and at the same time wait for Huo Xiu’s next action. But now Huo Xiu is trapped in the palace and can’t get out ……
Can she still spend the festival in peace?
No, she had to find a way to save him!
“Return to the palace!”
She said these two words off the top of her head and closed her eyes tightly.
Luo Fu is not far away, but in a short while to arrive.
She lifted her steps off the car and hurriedly entered the hanging flower gate. Halfway did not forget to mobilize the spirit of commanding the left and right: “the lake green jacket and lotus root color pleated skirt that I just made last month out, as well as the phoenix hairpin rewarded by the Empress Dowager at the last birthday festival and a set of head and face in a nanmu box out of it, and then instantly execute my invitation to send the folders under the Donghuamen, please ask them to submit to the Empress Dowager.”
The maids said yes one after another and left one after another.
Luo Yanru also accelerated her steps, wishing to return to her room as soon as possible with the power to shrink the ground.
“Stop.”
Just after traveling to the east side of the courtyard, a thick voice came from the other side.
She stopped walking at the sound, looked across the street, and gave a distant salute: “Grandfather.”
Elder Master Luo walked slowly: “Why are you in such a hurry? At this time, shouldn’t you be petitioning with your mother and brother at Xiangguo Temple?”
Luo Yanru’s expression slightly converged, looking at the ground: “Back to grandfather’s words, granddaughter remembered, today this day, should be advanced into the palace to the empress dowager to ask for peace, and then go to pray for blessings is the right reason. So fold back to prepare to enter the palace.”
“Really?” Elder Master Luo sized her up, “Why didn’t I hear you say that earlier?”
“My granddaughter only just thought of it, and it was a temporary decision. If according to common sense, such an important holiday, civil and military officials should have entered the court to pay homage to the right reason, the empress dowager and the emperor to think about the subjects in and out of the labor pains, exempted these rituals, this is the empress dowager and the emperor merciful. The other people do not enter the palace does not matter, our family but also by the emperor’s grace to protect the family’s reputation, this time but can not be negligent.”
Years of hard training makes her in this kind of moment can still be very good to stabilize the emotions, and rapid rotation of the brain.
Grandfather in front of her seems to be moved, hands slowly negative, once again measured her two eyes, said: “Rarely do you even have this heart.”
“Granddaughter knows that the Luo family must not collapse, grandfather all the way to support the family to this day is not easy, so there is not a moment not to put the family’s future in mind.”
The old master turned to look at the cultivated bamboo in the corner of the courtyard and slowly said, “You can think like this, grandfather is very pleased. It is not in vain that I have placed high hopes on you for so many years.”
Luo Yanru curtsied, “Then granddaughter will go back to her room to get ready. Lest I go late and my sincerity is discounted, a good thing will become a bad thing instead.”
“Go.”
The old eunuch nodded lightly and watched her retreat and leave, her gaze lingering on her fading back for a moment before striding down the steps.
……
Zhao Su see clearly, sitting in the carriage is Luo Yanru, that is to say, the night before Luo Yanru from Huo Xiu stayed out of the nunnery is indeed not a coincidence, the emperor did not guess wrong, Luo Yanru heart does have someone, and this person is exactly Huo Xiu! Huo Xiu because the revenge is not yet avenged do not dare to drag her, and because she is carrying the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the family can not be capricious to propose to marry Huo Xiu!
It’s really a pair of bitter lovebirds.
So Luo Yanru came to inquire outside the Huo home because she was worried about Huo Xiu?
Even if she was worried, what could she do for him?
Standing on the street for a moment, she turns back and finds Hua Qianrong, who is hitching up the carriage: “Go back and fetch a few goodies, load them up, and let’s go to the palace to kowtow to the Empress Dowager.”
She can’t guess how Luo Yanru will be, but, Huo Xiu Shang in the palace Luo Yanru must know, if she is really worried, then she will definitely go into the palace to find out the truth! And after hearing the truth? Empress Dowager Lu also said that Huo Xiu wouldn’t be able to remove his suspicions of her easily, but it’s not easy for him to be willing to cooperate, and it wouldn’t be a good thing for something to go wrong at this time.
