Chapter 26 New arrivals
Although he died of old age overnight, he had lived a long life on the surface. The thought of still having to fight with these people gave him a headache.
Suri looked at the palace with no interest or curiosity, and just followed them silently.
The stepmother was just the opposite. She was excited and thought of her sister when she saw this.
My sister must be very lonely and frightened in this palace. Thinking about it makes me sad.
Seeing her sad expression, Su Rui thought that she must have brought back memories, so he took her hand and patted her gently.
When the stepmother saw her comforting herself, she held her hand with her other hand and patted her back twice to show that it was okay.
The moment they stepped into the capital, the palace received news.
In the Fengqing Hall, the high eaves are resplendent with gold and green. There are two rows of civil and military officials standing in the hall, all of them tremblingly looking at the Queen sitting high on the dragon throne.
Compared with the Kingdom of Dragon, where men are superior to women and are not allowed to serve as officials, the Kingdom of Yu is different. Both men and women can do so, as long as you have talent.
However, what made them trembled at this moment was not because of this incident, but because of the recent turmoil in the capital about the Jade Soul Locking Incident.
Many stone-refining families were robbed by the Soul-locking Wolf. Although the scene was not bloody, each of them died in strange and bizarre ways, which is really difficult to understand.
Take the Lin family for example. The Lin family is one of the best stone-refining families in the capital. Their jade shops are spread all over the country and they have a very high status in the capital. However, they are not immune to this. A person who was moving well during the day suddenly collapsed and died with his eyes open.
, and the jade worn by the deceased will be mysteriously broken, just like the soul leaving the body, and the death will be miraculous.
Then one after another, accidents occurred one after another in the east of the capital, including the Zhao family, a stone-refining family, the Liu family, a stone-appraisal family, and the He family, a crystal-collecting family. Both the clan and the royal family were helpless, causing the people to panic and panic.
But I don’t know who spread the news about the soul-locking wolf. I only heard that someone saw Mr. Lin’s eyes suddenly light up before he died. His eyes were like a trapped wolf, with a fierce look, and his pupils could not help but shrink after burning incense.
He just lay down and stopped breathing.
Listening to the discussions among the officials below, the Queen frowned and tapped the lifelike golden dragon on the armrest of the dragon chair up and down with her two fingertips.
"Your Majesty the Queen, now that King Lei Hu has returned to Beijing, why not let King Xu Hu and King Lei Hu investigate the case together. King Xu Hu is a famous case solver in our country, and King Lei Hu is brave. This combination of civil and military forces will definitely investigate the case.
The truth comes out.”
King Xu Hu glanced at him and cursed: You are such a good person, Sun Guojian! Could it be that when King Lei Hu was away, this King Hu would just sit back and do nothing! Just relying on the Queen's attention, he got carried away and now he doesn't even look at our Six Great Jade Houses.
It’s in my eyes!
Sun Guojian is a confidant of the Queen, and his position as national advisor is very good at winning people's hearts.
The other four guardian kings looked at him one after another and asked him to calm down. He had a bad temper, and they were afraid that if he couldn't control his temper, his impulse would fall into his conspiracy.
King Xu Hu took a step to the right, stood in the middle and replied: "Your Majesty the Queen, the duty of the Hu Yuxu Mansion is to solve strange cases. Cases that the Clan Mansion cannot solve, so I will naturally investigate and get to the bottom of it, but this case is very complicated.
I hope Her Majesty the Queen will give me some time."
"As the protector of the Yujiang Mansion and a family of heavenly doctors, I will definitely assist King Xu Hu to find out the cause of the deceased's death."
A young woman also moved to the right. She was beautiful and had a calm look on her eyebrows. Although she was not as old as everyone present, her words, deeds, and gestures were filled with confidence and integrity.
King Cui Hu and King Zhang Hu moved to the right at the same time and spoke one after another in high-pitched voices.
"The Cui Mansion to protect the jade will cooperate fully even at the expense of our family and property."
"The Yuzhang Mansion is also determined to investigate the reason why the deceased's jade was broken."
He is the richest among the six great jade palaces of the Cui Mansion, and is also the richest in the Kingdom of Yu. Even the imperial palace and treasury may not be able to compare with him.
The Zhang Mansion is the top stone-refining family in the Kingdom of Yu, and its descendants have many talented people, including Zhang Kelian, a master of stone appraisal.
In the end, King Yi Hu, who was knowledgeable about Yi Mansion and respected by the scholarly disciples, also moved forward and said with a plain smile: "I should relieve Her Majesty the Queen's worries."
The other four major jade-protecting houses rushed to assist and serve Her Majesty the Queen, which caused the other civil and military officials to shout in unison.
"I will relieve Her Majesty the Queen's worries."
This exciting sound made Her Majesty the Queen's frown naturally relax, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she nodded with satisfaction.
This made Sun Guojian, the national master, break into a cold sweat and had to shout along with the crowd.
The six jade-protecting houses are indeed not easy to collapse. As long as one house has trouble, the other five houses will come out to help.
Her Majesty the Queen smiled slightly: "In that case, let's make this decision." Then she raised her hand slightly.
Next to her, Aunt Yin stepped forward and said, "Retreat from the court."
After shouting, he retreated behind Her Majesty the Queen and left the Fengqing Hall.
The rest of the people also dispersed, leaving only the national master Sun Guojian and the five great jade guards.
King Xu Hu snorted coldly and left with a puff of sleeves.
The other four guardian kings also looked at him and left one after another.
Sun Guojian didn't pay attention to their looks at all and was thinking deeply.
Why didn't King Leihu come to Fengqing Hall when he entered the palace? Could it be that he took people directly to the Empress Dowager?
He was not the only one who was confused, the five guardian kings were also confused.
"Why don't you see Yongjun meeting the Queen? Didn't he enter the palace?" King Xu Hu looked at them suspiciously.
The brave army is also the King of Thunder Protector of the Jade and Thunder Palace who protects the country.
King Cui Hu shrugged and said: "Who knows, didn't he catch two criminals? I heard that they were tortured to the point where they no longer resembled human beings."
"To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself." King Zhang Hu commented.
King Cui Hu rolled his eyes at him, half-squinted his eyes and said, "It should be more ruthless."
King Zhang Hu laughed heartily, pointed at him and shook his head.
"Dear caregivers, if there is an emergency at Xinmei's house, please say goodbye." Jiang Huwang smiled and leaned forward slightly, respectfully and politely.
"Go, go. Say hello to my homesick mother and ask her to take better care of herself."
King Xu Hu waved his hand and shook his head slightly as he watched her get on the carriage.
"This girl is actually quite capable of being the head of the household, but it's a pity that she is a woman." He sighed.
King Cui Hu also sympathized: "I like this girl very much, but it's a pity that the ancestral precepts of the Six Great Jade Houses cannot be violated. The position of head of the family is only passed on to men and not to women. The Jiang family will also find it difficult for her."
Since there is no male son in the Jiang family yet, the position of head of the family can only be temporarily taken care of by the legitimate daughter Jiang Xinmei. Although she is a temporary substitute, she manages it very well. She has the demeanor of the head of the family and is smart.
King Yi Hu saw them starting to sigh again and smiled.
"I'll take my leave first," he said.
King Xu Hu and King Cui wanted to tease him, but when they saw the people approaching, they all said goodbye to King Zhang Hu, then each got on the carriage and headed back home, leaving King Zhang in shock.
"Second brother."
A peaceful voice came from behind, which immediately made King Zhang Hu darken his face and turned around to look at him.
Wearing elegant blue clothes, even though he is middle-aged, he looks more elegant. His air of elegance and elegance make him even more rare and valuable and outstanding with the splendid palace.
He is the queen's prince, and he is the eldest brother Zhang Shitian who King Zhang Hu despises and looks down upon.
What is a prince? A prince is the husband of the queen!
