Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 1047 I have company on the road to hell!

“The prince is very righteous!” A guest quickly praised with a smile, “The emperor is very discerning and has chosen the prince as his consort. It is really a perfect fit.”

 “That’s right, the prince consort has both talent and virtue, which is really a blessing for Tianwu.” Another person also quickly agreed.

Lu Zong really didn't want to make excuses with them, so he went to change his clothes. When he came out, Chang Sui also came back.

 The master and servant found a remote place, and the chief said, "Your Majesty, my uncle and Mr. Wen both sent congratulatory gifts, but no one came.

“It is said that Uncle Li slept with the window open last night, and the wind blew in, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

“Mr. Wen is the censor, not just in the Cai family. He never shows up when others have happy events.

“As for Mr. Liu, he came once before the banquet started. As soon as he sat for a while, someone came from home to report that the old man’s condition had worsened. He called the imperial doctor and he hurried back..."

Lu Zong frowned and pondered for a long time without speaking.

These three people all had reasons for not being present, and they couldn't see anything wrong.

 But his intuition was not good, as if there was something he had overlooked or was kept in the dark...

 At this time, there was a sudden noise in the front yard.

 It seemed like a lot of people were shouting, very frightened and anxious.

 Lu Zong hurriedly took Changsui back to the front yard.

The house was full of guests just now, but now there was no one on the tables and chairs.

Everyone gathered at the door of the main room, looking up with their feet raised.

Lu Zong couldn't help but ask someone, "I just went out for a while, why did it start making trouble? What happened here?"

 “Oh, something big happened!” The eyes of the person who was pulled were clearly shining with schadenfreude, but his expression was trying hard to pretend to be sad, which looked very strange.

“Taifu Cai just ate a meatball, maybe he swallowed it too quickly, and he choked and passed out.”

 When others heard this, they also joined in the fun and added something.

“It happens that the doctor is drunk and can’t wake up right now. Someone has already gone to the palace to ask for the doctor. I hope he can make it in time.”

The two of them wanted to make room for Lu Zong, but Lu Zong waved his hand and even took a step back quietly.

 He turned to look at the empty courtyard, thinking of Li Laoer and others who were not present, and suddenly felt that he understood something...

 Two quarters of an hour later, the imperial physician finally arrived in a hurry.

Even the emperor heard about it and was very concerned about it, so he sent Eunuch Feng to follow the imperial doctor so that he could go back and report the news at any time.

 Unfortunately, Taifu Cai was very unlucky and the delay was too long. When the doctor checked his pulse, he had already stopped breathing.

The old man who used to have white hair and a childish face, and a fairy-like demeanor, now has a bruised face and wide eyes, and his expression is full of fear and unwillingness.

Anyone who looks at this look can't help but feel chilled and frightened.

 Death came so suddenly and so unbelievably!

The old master, who had experienced two dynasties and enjoyed all the glory, is just gone!

The Cai family cried loudly, as if the sky was falling. They had lost their backbone, and the sky was indeed falling.

You must know that the emperor's preferential treatment to the Cai family is all based on the teacher-student relationship with the old man.

What's more, there are some unknown reasons. The old man must not have any problems, but he did...

Everyone saw with their own eyes that Taifu Cai's children and grandchildren were crying to death, and they couldn't help but feel sympathy and began to comfort...

Soon, no matter how sad the Cai family is, they must cheer up and organize the funeral.

 A happy event can turn into a tragic event in an instant!

 As the guests dispersed, the whole new capital also knew the news. Some people were surprised, some sighed, some were sad, but most people couldn't help but gossip.

“What’s going on recently? Why are there so many tragic things? Commander Chang fell to his death just a few days ago. Something happened to Master Cai too. He choked to death on a meatball!”

“Yeah, I haven’t heard of it once in many years, and this happened twice in a row.”

“Who knew, it’s really disturbing. If it doesn’t rain, will there be plagues on the ground?”

"Don't talk nonsense. The plagues are in pieces, and these are only two. And these are all accidents, just coincidence."

“No matter what, I just feel very upset. I will definitely go to the temple to burn incense and ask for a peace charm.”

 “I want to go together, offer incense, and seek peace of mind.”

 Such conversations are happening everywhere on the streets, and of course the protagonists are all city women.

The officials in the court are not afraid yet, but they still feel a little uncomfortable no matter how they think about it.

Especially for the older ones, they really took off their boots at night and wondered whether they would be able to put them back on in the morning.

It's really bad luck, I might be dead if I fall down...

 Among these people, there is another one who is most afraid.

 That is the Queen Mother in Shoukang Palace!

 “What? Taifu Cai is dead?!” Upon hearing the news, the Queen Mother immediately threw the tea cup in her hand.

The old **** who inquired about the news was also very panicked and responded, "Yes, Queen Mother, the news is definitely correct. The old slave heard the guard guarding the door say something, and the old slave stuffed a jade ring into his finger before asking about the news. ”

"No, no!" The Queen Mother's face became increasingly older and paler. She hurriedly walked around, "Something must have happened! Commander Chang died, it could be an accident. But Taifu Cai also died. Something must have happened! They were discovered!”

The old **** quickly asked, "The Queen Mother, do you want me to go out for a while?"

"No, the secret passage cannot be exposed. Wait a moment." The Queen Mother tried her best to calm down and ordered, "The emperor has sealed Shoukang Palace for so long on the pretext of my recuperation, just to force me to use the secret passage. I will never do that." Let him have his way.

"Tomorrow is the day when the imperial concubine comes to pay her respects. I will wait for my envoy to ask her to deliver the message."

"Will the imperial concubine... be here? The court is currently promoting the crown prince. Seeing that the second prince can ascend to heaven in one step, the imperial concubine may be..." The old **** was a little worried.

The Queen Mother sneered and interrupted her words, "She dare not disobey. She has done so many things for me before, and it cannot be easily washed away. If the emperor knew about it, he would still want her if he doted on her. life!

"What's more, the second prince is weak and cannot support the government on his own. With this palace's lessons learned from the past, the emperor will never allow the imperial concubine to become another prince and continue to interfere in the government affairs. I'm afraid that one day the second prince becomes the crown prince. The concubine’s death date.

“If the imperial concubine wants to survive, she can only join forces with me to promote the second prince to the throne, or even... get rid of the emperor!”

 The old **** lowered his head deeply and did not dare to answer.

The Queen Mother also felt bored and waved her hand away, "Go down and wait until the imperial concubine comes to say hello tomorrow."

The old **** hurriedly retreated. The night wind suddenly blew through the yard, making him shiver...

 Will things really go as smoothly as the Queen Mother expected?

No one knows the answer, but the house of Taifu Cai outside the palace is busier than during the day.

  To be precise, the cry was louder.

The only direct grandson of the fourth generation of the Cai family, because he was busy with funeral arrangements and lost the care of his servants, he secretly went to the small lake in the garden to catch fish.

 When he was found, he had drowned and was floating on the lake...

Great grandfather died in the morning, and his great-grandson died in the afternoon. I really have someone to keep me company on the road to hell!
