Chapter 201 (1/2)
A general of the forbidden army hurried into the imperial study and went straight to Xianzong. He whispered, ”holy master, a Buddhist hall has been burned in the Buddha yard, and Princess Li has gone.”
Xianzong looked at the general, the three thousand beauties in the back palace, and who the princess Li was. Xianzong couldn't remember for a moment.
The general of the forbidden army dare not say much. Does he know the concubine in the imperial palace? Then he must have lived enough.
Xianzong got up and went out.
The ministers dared not say much, and bowed down to send Xianzong away.
When Xianzong passed by the old man, he stopped and said, ”after dawn, I will let the princess and her son-in-law go back to the house. Gu Qing, go back to the house now. I will give you three days to prepare at most. After three days, you and your eldest and second grandchildren will go to Wangxiang pass.”
The old man should kneel down and lead the order.
Xianzong stretched out his hand and dragged the old man's arm to hug his fist. He said, ”don't kneel. I wronged your family before. Today, in front of all the ministers, I'll say sorry to Gu Qing again.”
Xianzong's words moved the old man. Since ancient times, how many emperors have publicly admitted their mistakes with their ministers?
”Wangxiang pass, please give it to Gu Qing,” Xianzong patted the old man's hand and walked forward again.
The old man knelt on the ground, knocked three heads heavily to Xianzong, and said, ”holy Lord, the minister will serve the country with death, and dare not bear the trust of the Holy Lord.”
”To live,” Xianzong didn't look back or stop, but said to the old man, ”Linglong is close to you. If something happens to you, Linglong and I will be sad.”
”Yes,” the old man knocked his head on the ground and didn't look up for a long time.
Xianzong went out of the imperial study, looked up at the night sky some time before dawn, and sighed heavily. It's not easy to be an emperor. When you should be a grandson, you should be a grandson.
”Holy Father?” The general who followed Xianzong out of the imperial study whispered to xianzongdao.
Xianzong said, ”go back to the harem.”
Xianzong sat on a chariot, surrounded by a group of internal bodyguards, and walked from the imperial study to the inner palace gate.
A eunuch in charge, with about a dozen eunuchs waiting at the inner palace gate, saw Xianzong coming and hurried forward.
”Who died in the Buddha Hall?” Xianzong asked the eunuch.
The eunuch in charge walked beside the chariot and whispered to Xianzong, ”if you return to the holy master, the servant has found out that it is Princess Li, who was born in Chengzhou.”
Miss Li in Chengzhou is a concubine in the palace? Why don't I know? Xianzong had a headache and said, ”who was killed?”
