Chapter 242 Sanyang Palace
After leaving Fangzhou, the team became low-key, mainly Xu Yanbo, and Li Xian's family hid in the team in the name of wounded soldiers. This time Li Xian returned to Luoyang, and he did not bring any of his subordinates except his family.
The assassin incident also sounded a wake-up call for Zhang Changzong. Perhaps the news was leaked, or perhaps it was not leaked, but some people do not want Li Xian to live.
The hand order sent by Her Majesty the Empress was a secret order. In addition to the Luling Prince's Mansion, the Fangling County Magistrate and the Fangzhou Governor both received their own secret orders.
These two people were in charge of Fang Ling. Li Xian had a special identity and had visited him before. It was impossible for them to ignore him, so they could not know when they left. Zhang Changzong simply told them, but when they left, they also hinted at the assassin and warned them to keep the secret of King Luling's departure.
We arrived at Junzhou without any danger, boarded the boat from Junzhou, and went up to Luoyang. Because it was countercurrent and not the season for a good harvest, the boat was a little slow. In order to hide our identity, Li Xian and his family were nestled on an official boat. It was not big, very ordinary, and it was not as big as Xu Yanbo lived in, but everything was for safety.
Perhaps because Her Majesty the Queen had done a good job of confidentiality, she was in danger and walked on the water for nearly ten days. She was told that Her Majesty the Queen visited Sanyang Palace and was not in Luoyang, so she turned to Sanyang Palace.
The Sanyang Palace is located in the Songshan Mountains. Zhang Changzong has also been here several times before, not far from Luoyang. When they arrived in Luoyang it was morning, and they could reach Sanyang Palace in the afternoon.
"General Zhang takes care of himself, there will be a date later."
When Zhang Changzong got off the boat, the sailors on the boat saluted him, smiling and reluctant to leave.
Zhang Changzong and Li Xian's family squeezed a boat, but because of the narrow space, they could only squeeze with the sailors. Zhang Changzong naturally would not dislike it. Even if his clothes were just enough for these sailors to earn a year, they could still get along with the sailors calmly. In their spare time, they would learn a few local dialects from others, and then chat with people with half-baked local dialect. The strange accent often made a group of sailors laugh when they opened their mouths, but when they smiled, the distance was close.
Now, when they got off the boat, they were sent off enthusiastically. Zhang Changzong smiled and waved: "Take care, brothers, there will be a date later. I hope you will have another chance to take the boat you rowed in the future."
"Then, the young people are looking forward to it."
They waved goodbye to each other.
Li Xian and his wife, who watched all this, did not say anything. Li Guer looked a little confused, but when he arrived in Luoyang, there were many people and had been warned by Princess Wei in advance, so he had to suppress his questions.
Li Chongrun and his brothers were slightly envious. They didn't have the ability to get along with anyone.
Everyone had their own thoughts and finally arrived at Sanyang Palace in the afternoon. The guards of Sanyang Palace were naturally soldiers of the Yulin Guard. In the palace, there were not many people in the palace, which concealed the arrival of Li Xian and his party very well.
"My de Xu Yanbo pays homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be blessed."
Xu Yanbo bowed and bowed. Zhang Changzong first glanced around, found Master Wan'er, and first gave him a handsome smile. As a result, Master Beauty only looked at him with an expressionless face, and then said nothing.
Uh... I was surprised when I saw the apprentice who had been reunited for a long time. I missed her so much that she actually gave me such a cold face... Did the master accept a baby apprentice again when he was away?!
"Changzong paid homage to Your Majesty. He hasn't seen you for a long time. Your Majesty looks at the Holy Beauty as good as before."
This completely different kind of greeting posture from Xu Yanbo made Li Xian, who was waiting and dared not speak, shocked him, but did not dare to show any strangeness. He just glanced at Zhang Changzong and continued to wait.
Her Majesty the Queen's eyes swept over Xu Yanbo and fell on Zhang Changzong, saying, "Liu Lang is not here, no one has ever aroused me, so I look good naturally."
Zhang Changzong was displeased: "Your Majesty, you said unjustly! I am not convinced!"
Her Majesty the Queen glanced at him, snorted, and said, "Who cares whether you agree or not? Don't be clamoring, just wait aside."
Then, he stopped paying attention to Zhang Changzong and turned to Xu Yanbo and said, "It's been a hard work for Xu Qing."
Xu Yanbo hurriedly said, "I dare not say I have worked hard, but fortunately I finally fulfilled my mission. Under the protection of General Zhang, I invited King Luling back to Luoyang."
Her Majesty the Queen then turned her eyes to Li Xian who had been waiting. How could Li Xian resist it? He knelt down and crawled on the ground, choked and said, "The unfilial son pays homage to the Queen Mother. After many years, he can still pay homage to Tianyan, alas... alas..."
Trembling and choking, unable to speak idioms.
Her Majesty the Empress got up from the imperial throne. Mo Chengan and Shangguan Wan'er, who were beside her, immediately went to support her. She was thrown away by Her Majesty the Empress and walked to Li Xian with a hint of sadness on her face, but she did not help Li Xian up, but instead asked condescendingly: "After suffering so many years of sin and suffering for so many years, can my son know whether he was guilty?"
Li Xian cried bitterly: "My son knows the crime, but the son is unfilial, and he will let down the emperor's expectations. My son is guilty."
Her Majesty the Queen snorted, and there seemed to be a hint of excitement in her eyes, but she remained calm on her face and said, "I hope you can grow more for so many years. I'm really guilty. Just get up."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Mo Chengan came over immediately and helped Li Xian up. Shangguan Wan'er walked forward a few steps and saluted: "I pay homage to King Luling."
Li Xian still had tears on his face. He looked up and saw Shangguan Wan'er. There was a hint of excitement in his eyes. His expression was complicated: "Shangguan talented people are exempt from gifts. If you haven't seen each other for many years, is it okay for talented people?"
Shangguan Wan'er said respectfully: "Prince Lao asked, everything is fine."
After the greeting, Her Majesty the Queen said to Xu Yanbo: "Xu Qing has been traveling all the way, and he is not as tired as a young man like Liulang. I think he is tired, so I will go back and recuperate for a few days first."
"Yes, I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
Xu Yanbo left, Zhang Changzong looked at him, looked at His Majesty the Queen, looked at Master Wan'er, but no one paid attention to him-
Damn it! If people are not at home, what evil spirits do these two women have?! Do you not understand at all?
Her Majesty the Queen said to Lee Hsien: "Are the family back?"
Li Xian hurriedly said, "Go back to the mother, under General Zhang's escort, all the family members have returned, but the close servants have never brought them back. General Zhang said that the journey is long and if there are too many followers, it is difficult to keep them confidential, so they have never brought them back."
Her Majesty the Queen nodded, and finally took the time to look at Zhang Changzong and said, "What Liu Lang said is very much. Since he has brought it back, and now he lives in the palace, Wan'er..."
"Slave is here."
Shangguan Wan'er responded and turned to Li Xian and said, "Prince, I have arranged a residence for the prince in the palace. Please stay there with peace of mind."
"Thank you for your talent."
Li Xian nodded gratefully. After fourteen years of exile, he returned to the palace again, making him more walking on thin ice and cautious. He did not dare to be negligent about his close ministers like Shangguan Wan'er.
Her Majesty looked coldly, and there was no sign of joy or anger on his face. He said calmly: "The time is not right now, let's beg your family for a few more days. When the time comes, I will make arrangements."
Li Xian said respectfully: "My son dare not be wronged, nor did he feel wronged. If he can return to the side of the Queen Mother, serve his mother, and be filial to him, he will only be grateful in his heart, so how can he feel wronged?"
