NFBE Chapter 280 Transfer back
Chapter 280 Transfer back
Uncle-in-law...
These words confused the princess. Nanny Yun wanted to scold the maid for not being able to convey the message clearly and forcing people to guess, "Which cousin-in-law?"
A cousin's husband is the husband of a married cousin.
The daughters of several wives in the Prince of Jingyang's Mansion can all be called cousins, but few of them are married. The City Patrol Officer is a sixth-rank official, and Nanny Yun really can't think of anyone suitable for this position.
The maid grinned and said, "It's Master Huo, my cousin-in-law who was exiled to Guzhou with the General of the Cavalry."
Nanny Yun was stunned.
The princess even thought she was hallucinating, "The emperor appointed Master Huo as the chief inspector of the city patrol department?"
The maid nodded repeatedly, "It was recommended by Prince Yu."
The princess felt strange.
Prince Yu and Young Master Huo had no friendship, so why did he think of transferring Young Master Huo back to Beijing?
Nanny Yun said, "This is good news. When Young Master Huo returns to the capital, my cousin will definitely come back with him."
Mrs. Huo's eldest wife, Yun Nuan, is the only remaining bloodline of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
The princess was reluctant to let Yun Nuan go when she left the capital with Young Master Huo. If she stayed in Kyoto, the princess could always take care of her. The princess was happy that Yun Nuan could return to the capital, but this happened suddenly. The City Patrol was only a sixth-rank official and could not help Prince Yu much in his fight for the throne. The princess's intuition told her that Prince Yu would not do such a thing casually.
Thinking of the secret dealings between Xie Guimo and Prince Yu, the princess subconsciously looked at Shen Tang.
The princess did not ask aloud, after all, there was a maid in the room. Shen Tang knew what the princess was asking and nodded.
The princess glanced at Nanny Yun, who waved her hand and dismissed the maids in the room. After everyone left, the princess asked, "Why did Mo'er suddenly transfer Young Master Huo back to the capital?"
Shen Tang definitely couldn't tell the princess that it was she who asked Xie Guimo to do this.
Although doing so was in line with the princess's wishes, Shen Tang did not want to give the princess the impression that he was encouraging Xie Guimo to do something.
Shen Tang said, "My husband is filial. He knows that my mother misses Mrs. Huo very much, so he asked Prince Yu to help keep an eye out for a suitable position in the capital. If there is a suitable position, he will transfer Mr. Huo back to the capital, and Mrs. Huo will naturally come back with him."
The princess felt warm in her heart, but she still disagreed with Xie Guimo's approach. "Mother misses Mo'er's cousin, but he transferred Young Master Huo back to the capital. What will happen to General Huo?"
Shen Tang said, "Mother forgot that General Huo has more than one son, Young Master Huo."
It is better to be separated from one's family than to see the young die.
Besides, General Huo will not stay in Guzhou for long. If a war breaks out at the border, General Huo will also have to go to the border.
The princess thought about it and agreed. Besides, the emperor had agreed. She couldn't let Xie Guimo go to Prince Yu and prevent Young Master Huo from returning to Beijing.
The princess said, "Mother's letter was written in vain."
Nanny Yun smiled and said, "Are you still sending it?"
The princess said, "Since you have written it, you might as well send it. And by the way, send this good news to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."
Nanny Yun sent someone to handle this matter. A maid came in and said, "Princess, the Emperor has summoned the Crown Prince to the palace."
Xie Guimo did not hold any official position, but the emperor often summoned Xie Guimo to the palace. At first, the princess would ask about it, but later, as the number of times increased, the princess became too lazy to care.
Shen Tang guessed that the emperor was looking for Xie Guimo to discuss transferring Young Master Huo back to Beijing.
Shen Tang was ready to go back. Now that Xie Guimo had entered the palace, it was okay for her to go back. The princess asked her to stay and talk, so Shen Tang stayed with the princess for a while.
Royal study room.
The emperor is reviewing the memorial.
Xie Guimo rode into the palace on horseback and happened to meet Prince Yu who was leaving the palace.
The two met outside the palace gate.
Xie Guimo said, "Thank you very much."
Prince Yu said, "I am very unhappy with your thanks."
Although on the surface, it was his recommendation that led the Emperor to agree to Young Master Huo's return to Beijing.
But in fact, the emperor agreed only after he knew that it was Xie Guimo who wanted Young Master Huo to return to Beijing. If it was just his idea, the emperor might not have agreed.
The emperor called Xie Guimo into the palace, obviously to ask about this matter. He agreed in front of all the civil and military officials, and then called him into the palace to ask the reason. What a trust he showed.
The trust was so great that Prince Yu really had to doubt who his father's biological son was.
Xie Guimo said, "I'll treat you to a drink."
"That's more like it. I'll wait for you at Deyue Tower."
After saying this, Prince Yu rode away on his horse, fearing that Xie Guimo would come another day.
After Prince Yu left, Xie Guimo entered the palace and went directly to the imperial study.
Royal study room.
The emperor is reviewing the memorial.
It was the emperor who summoned Xie Guimo into the palace. Without any announcement, the eunuch let him in directly.
Xie Guimo stepped forward and saluted the emperor, "Your Majesty, why did you ask me to come here...?"
The emperor looked away from the memorial and asked, "Why did you transfer Young Master Huo back to the capital?"
Xie Guimo touched his nose, and the emperor said, "Tell the truth."
Xie Guimo, "..."
Happy Eunuch, “…”
Seeing that Xie Guimo's hand was stiff when he touched his nose, Eunuch Xi almost got internal injuries from holding it in.
Xie Guimo silently put down his hand. He looked at the palace servants who were serving him. The emperor waved his hand, and Eunuch Xi asked everyone to leave.
Xie Guimo said, "It's not that I want to deceive the emperor, it's just that this matter is a bit mysterious. A few days ago, my wife accompanied my mother to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. When they were burning incense and offering sacrifices, my great-grandfather's tablet fell over. That night, my wife dreamed that Young Master Huo had an accident in Guzhou. My cousin, the eldest young lady of the Huo family, couldn't bear the shock and gave birth prematurely, resulting in two deaths..."
"I would never believe it if I were the one having the nightmare, but my wife once dreamed that I pretended to be poisoned. I dare not ignore it. I can only find a way to transfer Young Master Huo back to the capital, just in case."
Even if the emperor trusted Xie Guimo, Xie Guimo would not dare to tell the emperor about such a thing as rebirth after death.
Use the excuse of having a nightmare to be on guard, and the emperor won't say anything.
An Nuan is the only descendant of the Zhenguo Mansion. It is normal that Xie Guimo does not want her to have any mishaps.
Shen Tang went to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion to pay homage to the ancestors of the Mansion. When the emperor went to visit Concubine Ye, the palace maid who had returned from the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion reported the upside-down tablet to Concubine Ye. The emperor thought it was just a coincidence, or someone was deliberately doing something bad to scare Shen Tang. He didn't expect that there would be such a mysterious thing.
The emperor asked, "You are urging Prince Yu to help you with this matter. Is it so urgent?"
Xie Guimo said truthfully, "In my wife's dream, my cousin was pregnant this month. She was afraid that delaying the pregnancy and the bumpy journey back to Beijing would be bad for the fetus..."
emperor,"……"
Happy Eunuch, “…”
The black lines on the emperor's forehead kept falling.
Fortunately, he thought that Xie Guimo admired Young Master Huo and asked Prince Yu to transfer him back to Beijing to help fight for the throne. As a result, after all the fuss, it turned out that it had nothing to do with the fight for the throne.
It is said that he supported Prince Yu, but why does it feel like Prince Yu was doing things for him, and doing it so diligently and willingly.
The emperor no longer wanted to ask questions, and only said, "If Madam Huo is pregnant, fine. If not, then you can expect to be beaten by me!"
