Chapter 780 Worth a Thousand Dollars

The news of the King of Qi's death reached the capital in the evening.

When the news reached the palace, it caused an immediate uproar. The royal relatives who were mourning in the palace were confused and worried, fearing that the fire would burn themselves.

The emperor had already issued an oral decree for the Prince of Qi to return to the capital, so how could he die at this juncture?

A few days ago, he was clearly fine!

Is there any secret that is unknown to people?

Now the emperor has summoned him, but he died at this time. If you think about it carefully, is it because someone doesn't want him to return to Beijing? Did he not die of natural causes?

Then who doesn’t want him to return to Beijing?

This range...shrunk instantly.

There was no solid evidence to support any of the news, so everyone was just guessing. But the specific reason was that only after His Majesty gave the order, we would know whether the whole story was really as we had guessed.

With the death of the Empress Dowager and the complexity of state affairs, Emperor Suwen aged a few years. Sitting on the dragon throne and listening to the reports from the spies, he was so tired that he was unable to do anything.

It took him a long while to recover from his shock.

A rebellious son is a rebellious son, but he is still his son after all.

Especially now that the person is dead, the mistakes he made when he was alive have been minimized with his death, and people have even gradually let go of them.

"What about the rest?"

Emperor Suwen spoke with a gloomy face.

The spy replied, "The King of Qi and his three sons were killed. The princess and other female relatives were frightened to the point of going crazy and talking incoherently. The young princes and daughters are temporarily free and have been placed in the county government office. In addition, Luo Qiongchuan, the steward of the King of Qi's mansion, has disappeared."

"disappeared?"

"disappeared."

The spy added: "Our people have already questioned the people in the inn, and there is nothing unusual. When the oral instructions were delivered, everyone was still alive."

The hall fell into deathly silence again.

After an unknown amount of time, Eunuch De came in from outside, hunched over, glanced at the person behind the imperial desk, then hurried forward and whispered a few words in Emperor Suwen's ear in a low voice. Then Emperor Suwen stood up.

"Send the King of Qi and the three princes to Lingnan Prefecture for burial, and then you can set off."

"Yes!"

Along with the emperor sending an official from the Ministry of Rites to collect the body of the Prince of Qi, people from the Princess' family and the families of several other daughters-in-law also went there.

However, halfway through the journey, people were forced back by the harsh environment.

On New Year's Eve, apart from the bustling homes of each household in Kyoto, there was almost no one on the streets.

Even the children, who loved the hustle and bustle of the city, did not run around in the streets this year, and no sound of firecrackers was heard in the city.

The Empress Dowager will have to suspend the mourning for a few more days before being buried in the imperial mausoleum on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

In addition to the death of King Qi, there was another particularly surprising thing, that is, the emperor assigned a task to King Ning, who had difficulty walking.

Prince Ning did not disappoint. Apart from not doing it himself, he arranged the task in an orderly manner without making any mistakes.

This gave the ministers who were originally observing him secretly an extra layer of trust in him.

On the evening of the fourth day of the first lunar month, Prince Ning was pardoned and returned home to rest. He returned to the palace on the afternoon of the fifth day.

Not long after returning home, Jiang Hao came.

"Your Majesty, you must have taken a lot of trouble for this mission, right?"

Jiang Hao looked at his swollen feet and asked in a calm voice.

Prince Ning replied: "Since you have made the choice, you should not worry about this difficulty. It's just a few more days of recuperation, but now, my importance in His Majesty's heart will change to some extent."

"Is it worth it?"

"For them, it's worth a thousand bucks."

Yes, once you have faith and goals, physical pain is not worth mentioning at all.
