Chapter 317 Conspiracy
Since that day, Concubine Jiang and Concubine Wan have visited Lan Qingwu every day. They know that only from the Empress could they get the latest news about their son.
As the days passed, news came from Bianyu City that local officials who deceived their superiors and colluded with each other were beheaded by Lan Shuren without hesitation. Hundreds of thousands of rebels were divided up. Anyone who had a chance to survive was willing to become a rebel. The imperial envoy of the court had the final say. Except for the rebel leaders who deliberately rebelled, all other civilians could surrender and the court would pardon their crimes. In just a dozen days, the rebels collapsed, the rebel leaders were beheaded, and a war was thus eliminated.
The news reached Qingliang Palace. Lan Qingwu was in a side hall at that time, and the five concubines were all in the palace.
After hearing Xiao Fuzi's report, Concubine Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good! It seems that Lord Lan and his men will be able to return to the Imperial City soon."
Concubine Wan also breathed a sigh of relief: "With the blessing of our ancestors, it's all thanks to Your Majesty's great fortune!"
Concubine Yang smiled slightly. This time the Third Prince did not go to Bianyu City, so she did not experience all these anxieties. But now she felt that it would be okay if he went. Everything would be fine. Thinking of the deep meaning of His Majesty, she could hardly keep the smile on her face.
Lan Qingwu, who was at the head of the group, said, "I think the children will be returning to the palace soon. You don't have to worry anymore. Go back today and prepare everything. I'm sure they're not having an easy time either."
Concubine Jiang and the others hurriedly stood up: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
As soon as Concubine Jiang and Concubine Wan returned to their own palace, Lan Qingwu's reward arrived. This time they were relieved.
This time, Lan Shuren made another step forward in the cabinet because of the Bianyu City case, and Emperor Shenwu directly promoted him to a second-rank official!
Emperor Shenwu turned around and said to Lan Qingwu, "Your cousin is good in every way, except for one thing: he hasn't found a good marriage partner yet, and hasn't established a family. This is also his weakness in the court. I will find him a good match later."
Lan Qingwu's mind turned slightly: "Your Majesty, why don't you leave this matter to Ruo Ruo? I will let Uncle San handle it for him."
The Emperor Shenwu looked at Lan Qingwu with deep eyes and actually agreed: "Okay! I'll be waiting for good news from you."
Lan Qingwu wrote a letter back to the Lan Mansion, asking his third uncle Lan Youkong to select a lady from the imperial city for Lan Shuren. Lan Shuren really couldn't stay single like this anymore. His political enemies in the court were watching him covetously. If anything went wrong, it would be a big problem.
Lan Youkong wrote back to Lan Qingwu, and the matter was handed over to her third aunt, Mrs. Lan San, but she had to wait and see. If there was a suitable person, they would make a verbal engagement first, and then get engaged and get married after the mourning period was over.
A few days later, the Sixth Prince returned to Miaoling Palace. Lan Qingwu looked his son up and down. He was only a little tanned, and only then did he feel relieved.
The Sixth Prince repeatedly stated that he was only staying in the rear and did not take any risks to do anything.
Lan Qingwu was half-believing and half-doubting. There was no other reason. His son's temperament was too similar to that of Emperor Shenwu. How could he possibly stay out of it?
This was indeed the case. This time in Bianyu City, the Sixth Prince had directly dispatched his subordinates to Guyu Village to investigate the situation. He had many capable men under his command, and they even captured the Bianyu City guards and rescued the officials sent by the Emperor Shenwu a second time from the dungeon. Needless to say, the officials from the first visit had already been brutally murdered.
Lan Shuren was quite surprised at the time, so the Sixth Prince added a few words: "Besides the guards my father gave me, there are also the orphans from my mother's Qingciyuan. They grew up with me and are my most loyal subordinates! They all obey my orders!"
Of course, I also give them a future.
The Blue Tree People were shocked. That wasn't just a few people! Moreover, they grew up with the Sixth Prince and must be loyal to him! And these people would become the Sixth Prince's forces.
While in Bianyu City, the three brothers acted independently and no one influenced anyone else.
After returning to Miaoling Palace, Emperor Shenwu simply gave all three of them rewards without saying anything, as if he was just letting the three princes go out to see the world.
The entire summer passed in chaos and it was early September when Lan Qingwu returned to the palace.
There is only residual heat left in the weather, and the last few traces of warmth are about to be taken away.
Lan Qingwu had no idea that a conspiracy and assassination was approaching him.
When the Seventh Prince got into trouble, Lan Qingwu was taking a nap in the bedroom of Fengqi Palace.
Lan Qingwu had a nightmare. When she woke up, her heart was still pounding and cold sweat was dripping on her forehead. When Ruping came in panic, Lan Qingwu seemed to have sensed something: "Ruping, what happened?"
Ru Ping, who had always been resilient, couldn't help but tear up. "My Lady, you must hold on. Listen to what I say. It's the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince has the plague!"
"What!" Lan Qingwu felt dizzy.
The seventh prince Zhou Chengjing has been weak since birth. He has finally recovered a little in the past one or two years, but his body is no healthier than that of an ordinary person. It takes a long time to recover from a minor illness on a normal day, not to mention this aggressive epidemic.
When Lan Qingwu rushed to the side hall, the seventh prince was already burning red all over. She wanted to enter the bedroom, but was stopped by Nie Wushuang.
