Today, the atmosphere in Shengjing is extremely tense, and there are officers and soldiers in a hurry everywhere.

It is said that the King of England was kidnapped, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

The gates of the city have been blocked, and only entry is allowed.

Officers and soldiers are searching from house to house, and anyone who dares to resist will be arrested and put in jail.

All the people in the city were so frightened that they hid in their houses and did not dare to run around.

There were hardly any pedestrians on the street, and the shops on both sides were deserted.

Suddenly, an anonymous letter was received in the British palace.

The housekeeper delivered the letter to the Queen of England.

Bu Shengyan opened the letter and saw that it was a letter sent by the kidnappers, saying that the King of England and his concubine were in their hands, and if they wanted people to live, they would use 800,000 taels of silver to redeem them.

In addition to the ransom, they have a very special request.

They named the name and demanded that Duke Hongguo personally come to pay the ransom.

If it wasn't for Duke Hongguo himself to pay the ransom, the kidnappers would rather not pay the ransom, but would kill and tear up the ticket directly.

Along with the letter, there is also the jade pendant that Luo Yechen wears and a pearl hairpin of the imperial concubine.

Bu Shengyan asked, "Where's the messenger?"

The housekeeper said truthfully: "The letter was placed at the gate of the palace. When the concierge heard the knock on the door, he only saw the letter on the ground at the door, and no one was seen."

Bu Shengyan nodded to show that he knew.

She stuffed the letter into her sleeve with a sullen face, hurried out the door, got on her horse, and headed straight for the palace.

In the palace, Luo Qinghan already knew the news that the imperial concubine and the British king were kidnapped at the same time.

He ordered people from the Patrol Division and Jingzhao Mansion to search the whole city, and they must be found.

At the same time, he also deliberately suppressed the news that the imperial concubine had been kidnapped, and only said that the King of England had been kidnapped.

After all, the imperial concubine is a woman. If the news of her kidnapping spreads, even if she can finally get out of her body, her reputation will become unbearable.

In this world, there are always some people who like to speculate on others with the greatest malice.

Luo Qinghan didn't want Xixi to be pointed at.

Eunuch Chang walked in, respectfully.

"Report to Your Majesty, Princess Ying asks to see you."

Luo Qinghan: "Xuan."

Soon Bu Shengyan walked in.

She blessed the emperor, then took out the stationery in her sleeve and cut to the chase.

"The court lady received a letter from the kidnappers."

She handed over the letter together with the jade pendant and the pearl hairpin.

Luo Qinghan first opened the letter and read the contents, and then looked at the jade pendant and the pearl hairpin.

The thing is indeed on Luo Yechen and Xiao Xixi, which shows that both of them are indeed in the hands of the kidnappers.

In order for the two to live well, they had to do what the kidnappers asked them to do.

Luo Qinghan said solemnly: "Duke Xuanhong enters the palace."

"Here."

The Duke of Hongguo was quite surprised when he learned that the emperor announced that he had entered the palace.

Although he was the emperor's uncle, but in fact the relationship between the two was not very close, and the emperor was a cold-hearted person, if it was not necessary, he seldom called his clan to visit the palace.

Hongguo Gong, full of confusion, changed his clothes and entered the palace in a carriage.

He bowed his hands to the emperor.

Luo Qinghan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and directly told about the kidnapping of the imperial concubine and the King of England, and hoped that he would come forward to pay the ransom on his behalf, and his benefits would be indispensable after the incident.

The Duke of Hongguo was frightened at the moment.

He waved his hands hastily.

"No, no, Wei Chen is old, and his legs and feet are not easy. Wei Chen is really unable to do things like this. Maybe it will also drag the King and the concubine. Your Majesty should ask another brilliant."

Luo Qing looked at him coldly.

"The kidnappers asked you to pay the ransom by name. You have to make this trip. If you don't want to go, I will charge you with disobeying the imperial decree. You can take a look at it for yourself."

Seeing the emperor's resolute attitude, Duke Hongguo knew that he could not escape this time, so he could only settle for the next best thing, and began to negotiate terms with the other party through this matter.

"If Your Majesty insists that Wei Chen make this trip, Wei Chen can only obey.

But His Majesty also knew that those kidnappers were brutal.

If they suddenly want to kill Wei Chen, Wei Chen has no ability to resist.

Of course, Wei Chen is old, and if he dies, he will die, and there is no pity.

Poor Weichen's children and grandchildren, how sad they would be if Weichen was gone. "

Luo Qing asked coldly, "How can you be willing to take this trip?"

Hongguo Gong made crazy calculations in his heart.

This is a great opportunity to seek benefits!

Looking at the emperor's appearance, it seems that as long as the British king and his concubine can return safely, he can make very big concessions.

The Duke of Hongguo is now the duke of the country, and the next step is to seal the king.

In the Dasheng Dynasty, only the prince and his descendants could be crowned kings. The only king with a different surname was King Chenliu.

With the bloody experience of King Chenliu, Duke Hongguo has an instinctive fear of becoming a king with a different surname.

As for the official position, he has no interest in being an official, and he also knows that he is not an official material.

Even if he were to be a high-ranking official, it is estimated that he would not be long enough to be impeached and dismissed from office soon.

As for money, he has no shortage.

He has no shortage of beauties.

He thought about it, and a bold idea popped into his mind.

Before the emperor's draft, the Hongguo Gongfu prepared two girls, one of whom entered the palace and was named Lu Jieyu, thinking that she could climb to the top with the help of the Empress Dowager and become the new queen.

Who would have guessed that she was finally demoted to the role of a waiter, and she was also put into the cold palace, which was completely planted.

Duke Hongguo wanted to send another granddaughter into the palace, but was stopped by the Empress Dowager.

Although I don't know the reason, but the Empress Dowager said so, Duke Hongguo couldn't say anything more, so he could only give up reluctantly.

Looking at the young and beautiful emperor at this time, Duke Hongguo felt that he was a good match for his granddaughter.

If he can take the opportunity to let his granddaughter enter the middle palace, it will undoubtedly add a great help to the Lu family.

In the future, even if Duke Hongguo and the Empress Dowager are gone, the Lu family will be able to rely on the Empress to continue its glory.

Duke Hongguo had already made up his mind, and immediately said.

"Wei Chen has a granddaughter named Xinyao, sixteen years old, gentle and skilled, she has always admired His Majesty, and hopes to be by His Majesty's side."

Luo Qinghan looked at him fixedly and said after a long time.

"Do you want Lu Xinyao to enter the palace as a concubine?"

Duke Hongguo dared to say, "Xinyao is the direct daughter of the family, and she is also the treasure of Weichen. Weichen has loved her since she was a child. Weichen promised her that she would not be made a child by others. "

Luo Qinghan: "Your ambition is not small."

The Duke of Hongguo bowed his hands and bowed down, sincere and sincere.

"Weichen is now a year old, and fame, fortune and money are nothing but a thing of the past for Weichen.

Only the happiness of the children and grandchildren has become the biggest concern in Weichen's heart.

If His Majesty can fulfill Wei Chen's love for his granddaughter, Wei Chen will not hesitate to go through fire and water! "
