Chapter 418 Beixiu Banquet is going to entertain everyone
Because the backyard of the medical center has not been completely cleaned up, Shen Ruzhou still lives in the Regent's Mansion for the time being.
She took the child back. Lu Huaining was practicing swordplay in the courtyard. He saw a child running over to watch excitedly. He clapped his hands and applauded him for how he was practicing the sword. He immediately practiced even more vigorously, with the sharp blade piercing the air. It makes a "swishing" sound.
Lu Huaining liked the new little guy very much, so he suggested giving Tietou the wooden sword in his house to play with.
Shen Ruzhou watched Lu Huaining holding Tietou's hand to get the wooden sword, his eyes full of love.
She was pregnant with a child in her previous life. If Mu Wanqing hadn't caused her to miscarry, she would have given birth to a child as cute as Tietou.
Bei Xiuyan stood next to her and was filled with emotion, "Huaining was as big as an iron head when he came to me. In the blink of an eye, he has grown into a teenager of twelve or thirteen. It is really not easy."
These words sound just like an old father lamenting the difficulty of raising a child.After hearing this, Shen Ruzhou's eyes flashed with a cunning light, and he joked, "Your Majesty has experience in raising children. If there is anything I don't understand in the future, I have to ask you for advice."
Bei Xiuyan stared and asked thoughtfully: "What are your expectations for this child, and what kind of person do you want him to become?"
Suddenly being asked such a profound question, Shen Ruzhou felt a little confused. Thinking of all the things she had experienced in her previous life, she just wanted to live a happy and comfortable life in this life and no longer get caught up in those struggles for power. Naturally, she didn't like Tietou. Will ask for too much.
"I just hope he can grow up in peace and be a happy ordinary person."
After hearing this, Beixiu Yan raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "That's easy to handle, just feed him and clothe him, don't worry too much."
Shen Ruzhou felt that Beixiu Yan's answer was too perfunctory and argued dissatisfiedly, "You arrange so many homework for Huaining every day. Why is it like raising pigs here in Tietou? Just eat enough."
Bei Xiuyan's eyes were slightly startled, and after a moment of silence, he said calmly: "Huaining is different from other children. He is destined to not have an easy life in his life since he was born."
Shen Ruzhou was full of doubts after hearing this, but aside from the Beixiu Banquet, she was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions.
At the court meeting three days later, Beixiu Yan still asked for leave due to physical discomfort. Afterwards, he heard from Qin Ming what happened at the court meeting.
"King Wucheng presented the evidence of Zhennanhou's crimes. The emperor was furious and ordered the capture of Zhennanhou. All the military power in Zhennanhou's hands was also handed over to King Wucheng."
After Qin Ming finished reporting, seeing that his master didn't say anything, he continued: "I just heard that the Royal Forest Army has gone to the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, but the place has long been deserted, and they should be arresting people on the street now."
"The Marquis of Zhennan was born in a reckless manner, but he was able to gain the title of Marquis only because he followed the emperor and raised an army during the first trial. Now that he has exhausted all his power from the dragon, he has naturally found a place to hide."
"Then do we want to take action?" Qin Ming had long been dissatisfied with Zhennan Hou's villainous behavior and asked respectfully.
"No, Xiao Chenyan has dealt with him enough, we will just wait." Bei Xiuyan played with the orchids in the study leisurely, paying no attention to what was happening outside.
"But Your Majesty, you have been so silent, and the rumors outside are getting worse and worse." Qin Ming looked embarrassed. The Regent's Palace has always been at the forefront of the storm. Now that such a big thing has happened in the court, the master still has not taken any action. It is inevitable for outsiders to speculate.
"Then please invite some princes and ministers to sit in the house and let them see that I am alive and well."
As soon as the words about Beixiu Banquet came out, Qin Ming almost dropped his jaw, "As long as you attend the court meeting this morning, there is no need to go to such trouble."
"I have my own arrangements, you don't need to say anything." Bei Xiuyan's voice was cold, with unquestionable majesty.
He looked up and saw Xiao Ruohan who was packing flowers and plants outside the window, his eyes flashed with brilliance, "Let Ruohan be responsible for all preparations for the banquet. It must be grand."
"But there must be a reason for a banquet, right? Since you became the regent, you have never invited anyone to a banquet at your house. If there is a sudden banquet like this, if there is no reason, others may not dare to come." Qin Ming said tactfully. , after all, the regents mentioned outside are cold-blooded and ruthless, killing people without blinking an eye.
After a long time, Beixiu Yan said: "Didn't the evidence of crime that King Wu Cheng gave to Zhennan Houlie include that he was treasonous and sent people to assassinate me and caused me to fall off a cliff? I used this as an excuse to hold a banquet and say that I I want to express my gratitude to King Wu Cheng, and also invite other adults to come and support me."
In less than half a day, the message about Beixiu's banquet was sent to Prince Wucheng's Mansion.
Xiao Chenyan read the post for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Beixiu Banquet Gourd.
Jun Wu was worried and reminded in a low voice, "The regent never interacts with courtiers in private, let alone a banquet. However, he wants to treat guests at this time. The reason is to thank the prince for finding out the real culprit of the cliff fall. It's so strange. "
After Jun Wu finished speaking, he suddenly slapped his forehead and shouted loudly: "It can't be the Hongmen Banquet, right?"
Xiao Chenyan was startled by his suddenly louder voice, and then gave him a slap in the face, "How unbecoming is it to yell?"
Only then did Jun Wu realize his gaffe and knelt down to apologize.
Xiao Chenyan had no intention of punishing him, and said calmly: "Be more steady from now on. If you are so reckless, you don't need to stay with me anymore."
"Yes." Jun Wu responded respectfully.
Xiao Chenyan handed him the invitation and ordered: "Go and reply and tell me that I will definitely attend the banquet on time."
He knew in his heart that no matter what Bei Xiuyan's plan was, it would not be for his life. At least none of them could kill anyone now.
Chang Lin led the Royal Guards to search the streets for a whole day, but failed to catch Zhennanhou. He came back with some frustration and reported: "Your Majesty, this Zhennanhou is too cunning. I don't know where he is hiding."
Jun Wu patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, "Don't worry, the lost dog will be caught sooner or later."
Xiao Chenyan drank tea and said slowly: "Just pretend to search the city every day. I know where people are hiding."
As soon as these words came out, Jun Wu immediately understood, "Your Majesty, do you mean that the Marquis of Zhennan is hiding in Prince Yu's Mansion?"
Seeing Xiao Chenyan nodding, Chang Lin was confused, "Then why doesn't the prince send us directly to Prince Yu's Mansion to get someone?"
"Prince Yu is so temperamental that he wants to search his residence without any basis. How could he be willing? I'm not sure how I will be organized by then. Let's just wait. When the time is right, it won't be too late to arrest him." Xiao Chen calmed down and calmed down. Anyway, there is no chance of Zhennan Hou turning over, so there is no rush to arrest him.
The sky gradually darkened, and the maid came in to hold the lamp. Xiao Chenyan looked at the dancing candlelight, and suddenly thought of Bantou Hu being burned to death. He turned to ask Jun Wu, "How is the investigation of the fire in the Kyoto Yamen?"
