Chapter 725： I'm waiting for your good news!

Chapter 725 I’m waiting for your good news!

Normally, people celebrate the New Year on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

The palace is luxurious and will be lively for a while.

But after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the red satin bouquets everywhere are removed, the palace lanterns are withdrawn, and the feeling of the new year disappears.

The two little eunuchs folded their sleeves and hid behind the vermilion pillars to take shelter from the wind, chatting in low voices.

“Why did I see Marquis Xinting entering the palace again?”

“I saw it too, maybe there’s something urgent, after all, I just came here in the morning!”

“I hope it won’t be the barbarians from Jiangbei who come to cause trouble again, but let us live in peace for a while.”

"What are you afraid of? We serve the emperor. No matter how many barbarians come, they won't hinder us."

“That’s true!”

The two of them were talking lively when they suddenly heard a loud bang in the imperial study room.

The two of them reacted conditionedly, their knees softened, and they immediately knelt down.

The cold ground made them react quickly. They looked at each other awkwardly and were about to get up.

Eunuch Feng had already hurried out to call for people. They followed the other young eunuchs, entered the house with low eyebrows, and quickly cleaned up the mess.

It turns out that the loud noise just now was caused by the emperor smashing a plum vase.

What happened to make the emperor so angry? Doesn't it mean that Marquis Xinting is highly valued by the emperor? How dare you provoke the emperor like this? !

Everyone murmured in their hearts, but no one dared to ask more questions. They quickly left after packing up.

The room was quiet for a while, with only the emperor, Marquis Xinting, and Manager Yi.

The emperor drank two cups of tea in one breath before he suppressed his anger and whispered: "Cousin, we can't wait any longer. Even if the people behind the scenes cannot be found out and leave hidden dangers, we can only wait and find opportunities later. removal.

“Now Yaochi must be banned immediately, and all those involved in the case will be investigated strictly. Otherwise, if the hibiscus cream is allowed to spread, the consequences will be disastrous!

“I don’t feel comfortable leaving this matter to others. After all, there are too many people involved. If the person handling it has selfish motives, it will be a big storm.

“Tianwu’s situation is weak. It has just been relieved due to the high yield of food. We really can’t afford to be turned upside down again..."

Xintinghou fell to his knees and replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will act with caution. I will not let a guilty person go, and I will not unjustly accuse an innocent person."

The emperor helped him up with his own hands, then handed him a gold medal and told him: "All the people have been mobilized from the Northern Expeditionary Army, and we must not let any fish slip through the net in Yaochi.

“I’m waiting for your good news!”

The Marquis took the gold medal, quickly calculated in his mind, and said: "Your Majesty, the secret guards have found the three secret exits of Yaochi, but there must be loopholes. I plan to mobilize a thousand northern expedition troops to enter the city and blockade the five areas around Yaochi. inside.

“In addition, the princess’s house is going to search all the people’s homes and put them in jail, and interrogate the list of victims. Of course, the more important thing is to find out if there is anyone who secretly helped spread the hibiscus ointment. Please allow the emperor’s permission!”

"Yes!" The emperor said in a deep voice: "My cousin, you can do whatever you want, but if someone stops you, you can arrest him and put him in jail. I will be responsible for everything!"

“Thank you very much, Your Majesty. I would also like to trouble your Majesty’s assistants to perform a play...”

Hintinghou whispered for a long time, and the emperor nodded repeatedly.

Hence, the two young eunuchs who had just returned behind the corridor heard the emperor's angry curses coming from the imperial study room before they could gossip about the talent.

Not long after, the Marquis of Xinting came out with a sullen face. Even when Eunuch Feng wanted to come forward to speak, he waved his hands and ignored him and strode out of the palace.

Horse Xinting, has he fallen out of favor? !

Everyone can't wait to use all their strength and want to gossip a few words, but they dare not say a word.

Soon, the news spread, and everyone knew the reason.

The walls of the imperial palace are like a sieve. If there is any news, within an hour, everyone outside will know about it. The Marquis of Xinting angered the emperor because of the pay for the Northern Expedition. As soon as he returned to the new capital, he was driven back to the dock!

Some people gloat about the misfortune, some look on with cold eyes, and some are indifferent...

In the princess's residence, the eldest princess listened to the servant's report. She heard that Princess Kangle had indeed returned to Suijintan, and even the Marquis of Xinting had returned to the dock. She was finally relieved.

She glared at her granddaughter fiercely and cursed: "You useless thing, if you dare to make your own decisions next time, I'll see if I don't skin you!"

Bao Lei also breathed a sigh of relief and defended herself: "Grandma, it was my granddaughter who was reckless this time.

“My granddaughter thinks that Baiyunjian is making money every day, and there is a queen behind the three princesses. If we can pull them into the water, Baiyunjian will be our home, and there are still three princesses and queens available. Wouldn’t we be able to sit back and relax in the future?!

“So, in a moment of impatience, my granddaughter wanted to be praised by her grandmother, so she took it upon herself to do so. Please forgive me.”

As she spoke, she knelt down.

The eldest princess wanted to use this granddaughter to attract more "treasure pots", so she could only endure her anger and said: "Get up, remember to be more cautious in the future. If we are discovered, our whole family will not survive."

“And that girl from the Li family, don’t mess with her. I always think she’s a bit evil!”

Bao Lei quickly responded obediently, and then talked about how many noble ladies had gotten into the water today, and soon made the eldest princess happy again...

It was dark at night, and at the east gate of Xindu, soldiers stood on the city wall holding cold spears.

They were rubbing their hands together and talking tremblingly, hoping that when their shift was over, they could go back to the tower, warm themselves by the fire, gamble and drink tea.

At this time, a soldier was in a panic because he was holding back his urine and wanted to find a place to release his urine.

As a result, I peed a handful and suddenly realized that a team of people was already approaching.

He was so shocked that he wet his feet and said, "There's someone, there's someone downstairs!"

 He pulled his neck and just shouted. The men and horses had already arrived downstairs. The leader scolded: "Silence! I, Xinting, have a secret order in hand!"

The other soldiers, who had almost gone crazy with fright because of the soldier's scream, heard this and hurriedly went to find the commander on duty.

It is a coincidence that the commander on duty today is called Pang Fei, and he and Chen Chuan are brothers.

Chen Chuan was considered a Taiping general.

The so-called Taiping generals are those who have never been on the battlefield, or have been on the battlefield once or twice, and have not experienced too much blood and fire.

Chuan Chuan is the latter.

And these rare one or two battles, together with Pang Fei today, even saved Pang Fei's life, so the two of them got along very well, almost as good as brothers.

Chen Chuan was arrested earlier and worked as a coolie in Suijintan.

Pang Fei has been helping out, hoping to open up the joints and release Chen Chuan back.

It's a pity that the Chen family's matter is not just about offending the Li family, but also involves hibiscus cream. Chen Chuan and the Chen family cannot be let go no matter what.

During the Chinese New Year, Pang Fei rushed to the shack in Suijintan and gave some food to Chen Chuan and the Chen family.

When people in Xincun and Ercun saw it, they admired his loyalty and didn't stop him.

But Pang Fei still felt uncomfortable, thinking that his brother had been persecuted by the Li family and the Marquis of Xinting.

Unexpectedly, Marquis Xinting would fall into his hands tonight.

It’s really a turn of events!

He lay on the wall and looked down. There were a thousand people and horses in the dark.

He said: "Master Marquis, are you bringing so many people into the city so late at night? Is there something wrong?"
