Chapter 997: Yes?(1/2)

Zhao Ce has been away from home for a few days.

Two days ago, Chen Liang and Xu Fang took a cart of fur home first.

Su Caier knew that Zhao Ce would probably not be able to come back so soon.

Touching the fur sent back by her husband, Su Caier asked Xu Fang and Chen Liang in detail about the trip.

When Zhao Ce took Xu Fang and the others to find Zhu Houzhao, the soldiers who killed good and made great contributions had already been arrested.

The two of them didn't see too bloody scenes.

They naturally didn't know about Zhao Ce's war later.

Therefore, Su Caier didn't think anything was said by the two of them yet after hearing what they said.

However, Xu Fang and the others came back, and the news about Zhao Ce was cut off at the moment.

The prince had originally sneaked out and would definitely not send messages to the capital.

In the past two days, Su Caier herself was a little anxious.

Today, when he heard that there was news from the palace, Su Caier quickly received the messenger who came to deliver the news.

The person who came was the eunuch of Emperor Hongzhi. After Su Caier saluted him, the eunuch said diligently: "Mrs. Dingxi Hou is polite."

"Our family will send you a letter to your wife for the Emperor."

"His prince and the marquis have heard good news on the frontier, and the marquis has made great military achievements this time."

"When the Marquis comes back, Your Majesty will receive a heavy reward."

"Our family is here first, congratulations to Mrs. Dingxi Marquis."

Su Caier was stunned for a moment.

Making great military achievements...

It is also said that her husband went to the frontier and really participated in the war...

Before Zhao Ce went out, Su Caier actually had this guess.

Su Caier came to her senses and thanked her first.

Then he asked, "Daughter, when will the Crown Prince and my husband return to Beijing?"

The eunuch smiled and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince said that he will stay with the Marquis in Xuanfu for a few more days."

"It shouldn't take long before the two of them will be triumphant."

How many days will it take...

Su Caier smiled and said, "Thank you, my father-in-law, for coming to inform me."

"Thank you for your hard work on the road, please use some refreshments before going back."

Su Caier is already familiar with entertaining guests and envoys of the court.

After arranging the tea, someone gave everyone a generous reward.

After everyone left, Aunt Chen, who was behind him, came over with Xiaobao in his arms and said happily: "Congratulations to Madam."

"The master made great contributions this time and returned safely, which is really gratifying."

Su Caier smiled.

In fact, she didn't care much about great achievements.

But her husband left home for a few days and went to such a dangerous place in the frontier again, and she was really worried.

However, now that the eunuch said that his husband and His Highness had returned to Xuanfu City with His Royal Highness, there must be no danger.

Su Caier's worries in the past few days have finally decreased a lot.

He reached out and gently patted Xiaobao's finger that he had just reached into his mouth to suck, and hugged Xiaobao over.

Xiaobao was patted with his fingers open and blinked at his mother.

"Xiaobao hasn't seen his father for a few days. Do you miss his father?"

"Tada."

When Xiaobao heard his mother mention her father, he subconsciously shouted.

"Thinking."

Xiaobao replied in a slight voice.

Su Caier sighed softly: "Mom misses your father too."

"But he will be back in a few days. Is it okay if my mother takes you out to greet your father?"

Xiaobao smiled big: "Okay!"

The mother and daughter were talking, and Erbao, who had just woken up behind her, started crying again.

Su Caier hurriedly hugged Xiaobao and comforted the second treasure.

......

At this time, in Xuanfu City.

Zhu Houzhao, Zhao Ce and his group returned here without any danger.

Zhu Houzhao was in a very good mood during this great victory in Tianzhen.

When I saw a wild dog on the road, I wanted to jump off my horse and tell it that I had won a big victory.

After returning to Xuanfu.

All the civil officials and generals of Xuanfu stood outside the city and welcomed the prince back.

Zhu Houzhao rode on the horse, looked at the people who were saluting, and her face, which was just smiling, immediately put away and said casually "um".

"Everyone is polite, please get up."

After hearing that the prince had some idea of ​​what happened, he suddenly won a big victory, he thought that his highness must be in a good mood.

The leader is in a good mood, and it is much easier for them to receive people below.

But now seeing His Highness looking at them, he obviously wants to find fault.

Everyone below became cautious, fearing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would find out what happened to them this time.

After Zhu Houzhao entered the city, he directly asked Zhang Jun, the general of Xuanfu, to gather all the officials and generals who might know the route of the baggage transportation.

There are not many people, and everyone has different expressions.

Zhu Houzhao sat in the upper head and asked Zhao Ce and Duke Bao to sit on his side.

He said: "I believe you all know the news that our palace has defeated the enemy in Tianzhen this time and won a great victory?"

Everyone bowed their heads and said they knew.

Zhu Houzhao said "yes" again.

"Since you know, it's easy to do."

"The Tartars attacked our baggage team and were obviously prepared."

"The person who leaks the route of transportation is most likely among you."

"Now our palace wants to protect the country to thoroughly investigate this matter and find out who dares to carry our Ming Dynasty and collude with enemies and treason!"

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, everyone below knelt down in panic, shouting innocent.

An official said: "Your Highness, I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty and will never do anything to collude with enemies and sell the country."

"Yes." A general quickly proved his innocence and said, "Although the last general knew the time of the tax silver escort, he could only find out the day before departure."

"It is impossible to be suspected of colluding with the enemy in advance."

“…”

The others also shouted injustice and said words to prove their innocence.

Zhu Houzhao frowned slightly and looked at Zhao Ce.

Zhao Ce looked back at him, with no expression on his face.

Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, quickly shouted: "Quiet!"

"What kind of morality is it to be quarrel in front of the hall?"

With a shout, everyone quickly closed their mouths with tactfulness.

Seeing that Zhao Ce had a tense expression, Zhu Houzhao continued to face everyone with a stern face.

Continuing: "A thorough investigation into the leak of the whereabouts of the baggage transport team will be arranged by Duke Baoguo Zhu Hui, and the General of Xuanfu Zhang Jun from the side to assist."

"I don't have much time in this palace. Before leaving, we must find out who is leaking the secrets of our Ming Dynasty like an enemy!"

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, she stood up and took Zhao Ce and his people out.

Leaving a group of people in the room, looking at each other in fear.
To be continued...
