The day passed quickly, and it wasn’t until evening that everyone returned to their courtyard in Qi city in high spirits.
The next day, they toured the mountains and rivers of Qi city.
On the third day, they visited the poetry garden.
In short, they had visited all the places in Qi city in three days, and everyone was very happy.
They had never played like this before. They had all the fun and delicious food, and they didn’t need to pay.
Because all the money would be paid by Xiao Jiuyuan, they only needed to eat and play.
Three days would pass by very quickly.
On the evening of the third day, they had just returned from the poetry garden in Qi city.
Xiao Lingfeng hurriedly came out to greet them. As soon as he saw Xiao Jiuyuan and Yun Qianyu, he said in a hurry,”
“Something happened in the capital? The Grand Empress Dowager has sent a verbal order for you to return to the capital immediately. ”
Xiao Jiuyuan and Yun Qianyu’s faces darkened.
“Where’s the messenger?”Xiao Jiuyuan asked.
“He’s waiting in the courtyard. ”
Xiao Jiuyuan turned around and walked toward the main hall of the courtyard. The others followed him closely.
In the main hall, the one who delivered the verbal order was the Empress Dowager’s capable eunuch.
As soon as he saw Xiao Jiuyuan, he knelt down and said,””Greetings, li Prince.”
“What happened?” Xiao Jiuyuan asked with a frown.
“Your Highness, last night, the Empress Dowager ordered people to kill the new emperor. She also issued an edict to the courtiers of Dongli, saying that the previous Emperor’s death was the new emperor’s doing. In order to obtain the throne, the new emperor not only killed the previous emperor, but also plotted against the previous Emperor’s eighth son. He deserved death, so she ordered a few subordinates to kill the new emperor.”
After the Empress Dowager has finished these things, she asked me to immediately invite li Prince back to the capital to take charge of the situation.”
Xiao Jiuyuan instinctively resisted and said in a deep voice,””Go back and tell the Empress Dowager that I will not interfere in the matters of the court.”
He really didn’t want to get involved in Dong Li’s matters. Whatever the Empress Dowager planned, he would do. He didn’t want to criticize her.
As soon as Xiao Jiuyuan finished speaking, the eunuch quickly said,””The Empress Dowager said that she wanted to see li Prince before she died.”
Xiao Jiuyuan’s heart sank when he heard this.
He really wanted to say loudly,”No.”
However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not open his mouth.
It was because his mind was filled with the memories of the Grand Empress Dowager taking care of him when he was young.
Now that she wanted to see him, he couldn’t refuse her.
Yun Qianyu also knew this, so she quickly said,””We’ll set off immediately and return to the capital without stopping. ”
“Yes.”
Everyone returned to the capital that very night without even packing up.
Because Xiao Lingfeng was a little old, Xiao Jiuyuan left some people to protect him and slowly returned to the capital.
The others rode their horses back to the capital at top speed.
The group of people rushed back to the capital city at noon the next day.
At this time, the capital was in chaos, and everyone in the streets and alleys was in a panic.
Everyone was in a state of panic.
However, when the people on the street saw a group of horses riding past, some people recognized that the person in the lead was li Prince Xiao Jiuyuan.
“Yes!” The people immediately cheered.”Li Prince has returned to the capital.”
“Really?”
Li Prince has returned to the capital.”
“This is great. Our Dongli has an Emperor.”
Everyone thought that the most suitable candidate to be the Emperor was li Prince Xiao Jiuyuan.
That was why when the people saw him, they cheered and ran around excitedly to tell each other.
Xiao Jiuyuan, Xiao Yechen, Yun Qianyu, and the others rushed all the way to the palace.
In the palace, outside the Empress Dowager’s Palace, there were many ministers, all of them panicking.
