Chapter 492 Missing, self-inflicted(1/2)

Luo Yu didn't dare to say a word, but just looked at Shangguan Youlan.

Shangguan Youlan looked at the coffin that was parked in the middle of the mourning hall, and a shocking light flashed in her eyes.

When Zuo Zhao returned home, he heard from his wife that Zuo Zhengxuan had woken up.

He hurriedly wanted to see him, but his wife stopped him and cried to him that Zuo Zhengxuan had entered the palace. She stopped him, but she couldn't stop him.

Zuo Zhao was so angry that he repeatedly told him to wait for him to come back, but why didn't he stop him?

He wanted to get angry, but after seeing his wife's tears, he couldn't even get angry.

His own father knew him, he was upright and stubborn, and he couldn't even stop the decision he made. Only when Zuo Hui occasionally persuaded him to persuade him can he stop.

Now that his wife is the only one at home, how can he persuade him?

He turned around and wanted to enter the palace, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered what Zuo Hui said before leaving.

If the father has not left the palace for two hours, don’t care about anything and immediately take his family out of Fanyang, the farther away, the better.

Best, just leave Donglin!

Zuo Hui never talks nonsense. Since he said that, he must have guessed something.

But, my father is still in the palace, is he really going to leave like this?

Gripping his teeth, he said to his wife: "My father will definitely anger Shangguan Youlan when he enters the palace this time. I am afraid that the family will not be well recently. You can take the children out to avoid it for a few days."

Mrs. Zuo was stunned when she heard this. Will it be so serious?

Zuo Zhao explained to her a few more words, and promised that Shangguan Youlan would calm down after a few days and would pick them up after things calmed down.

Although Mrs. Zuo was still half-believing and half-doubted, she didn't have to say anything else, so she nodded.

Zuo Zhao immediately ordered his confidant to pack up his things and take Mrs. Zuo away. It was very fast. In just two incense sticks, even the car was packed.

Mrs. Zuo was so uneasy that she sat in the car with her two children in her arms, but she held Zuo Hui's hand and didn't let go.

"Okay, let's go." Zuo Hui said: "Just pretend to go out for two days and come back soon."

He said, and showed a smile, as if he had sent Mrs. Zuo back to his parents' home in the past.

Mrs. Zuo was bewitched by his smile, and finally let go of her heart and whispered: "Then I agreed that as long as the matter is settled, you will pick me up soon. Don't forget to send me a letter a day or two."

Seeing Zuo Zhao nodding in agreement, Mrs. Zuo took back her hand and lowered the curtain.

Zuo Zhao watched the carriage go away, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"Big Young Master..." A man with a guard looked at him.

Zuo Zhao came back to his senses and whispered: "Leave Donglin immediately, and your wife is not allowed to turn back. The life of my Zuo family is on you."

This man is an old minister of the Zuo family and has always been loyal to the Zuo family.

His lips moved, as if he had a lot to say, but in the end he just asked: "I don't know where... I want to take the young lady?"

Zuo Zhao remembered what Zuo Hui said before leaving again, and a trace of hesitation flashed between his eyebrows, but at the end he said: "Go to Fangzhou! Then he told the Queen Fangzhou that it was entrusted by his second brother."

"Where are you, the eldest master?" The man endured it for a long time, but still couldn't help it.

"Master, aren't you leaving?"

He didn't know what happened, but the situation must be very critical, otherwise Zuo Zhao would not even have to send his wife and children away.

Since this is the case, it will be extremely dangerous for Zuo Zhao to stay.

Zuo Zhao glanced at the carriage that was walking away and showed nostalgia, but quickly withdrew his gaze: "I have my own arrangements, you go quickly, don't fall far away."

The guard wanted to say something, but Zuo Zhao didn't give him a chance and asked him to leave immediately with a stern face.

He had no choice but to kowtow to Zuo Zhao and said, "I will definitely protect my wife and the two young masters!"

Zuo Zhao watched them go all the way, tidy up his clothes, and said, "Go to the palace."

After all, he didn't listen to Zuo Hui.

The Zuo family was passed down from poetry and books, and Zuo Zhengxuan's life and death were uncertain. As a son of man, he would never leave at will.

Zuo Zhao entered the palace and made plans to have a dispute with Shangguan Youlan or even be punished, but no matter what, he must meet Zuo Zhengxuan.

But when he really arrived in the palace, things were completely beyond his expectations.

Shangguan Youlan did not make any trouble for him at all. As soon as he asked for a meeting, he immediately asked him to go in.

After hearing that he was coming to find Zuo Zhengxuan, Shangguan Youlan was even more surprised than him.

"Master Zuo? Didn't he leave the palace half an hour ago? Why, haven't he arrived home yet?"

While saying that, he also called the guards on duty to come over and ask.

As a result, many people in the palace can confirm that Zuo Zhengxuan did come to the palace, but he had already left the palace half an hour ago.

With so many people making evidence, Zuo Zhao was half-believing and half-doubted. In the end, Shangguan Youlan helped him save the situation.

"Maybe Lord Zuo missed it with you, so why don't you go home and have a look. Maybe Lord Zuo has arrived home now."

Things were completely beyond Zuo Zhao's expectations, and he couldn't come up with a better idea for a while, so he had to thank Shangguan Youlan and say goodbye to leave the palace.

He rushed home anxiously, just to confirm immediately whether Zuo Zhengxuan had really returned home.

However, after returning home, I didn’t see Zuo Zhengxuan at all. I even waited until late at night, but I didn’t see Zuo Zhengxuan back.

He waited anxiously until dawn, and immediately entered the palace again and went to Shangguan Youlan to confirm.

Shangguan Youlan showed more surprise than him.

"Mr. Zuo is missing? How could such a thing happen? Master. Zuo is an important official in Donglin. Don't worry, I will definitely find him for you!"

Shangguan Youlan spoke with great righteousness, and even called the Imperial Guards in front of Zuo Zhao and asked them to search the whole city.

Zuo Zhao wanted to go find him together, but today is the day when Emperor Donglin wants to get a spirit, and all of them are going to send spirits.

Even if he is worried about Zuo Zhengxuan, he cannot abandon the righteousness of the monarch and his subjects just because he is looking for him.

Therefore, he had to stay in the palace and participate in the spirit delivery.

In the mourning hall, Shangguan Youlan and the officials cried for the last time.

Shangguan Youlan cried so hard that she was still sad. Anyone would feel that she and Emperor Donglin must have a deep relationship.

Even some people who were dissatisfied with Shangguan Youlan would be moved when they heard her crying.

When the crying spirit was over, the person who had already prepared entered the mourning hall, lifted the huge coffin and carried it out of the palace gate.

All officials have to follow behind the coffin to send the spirits.

Zuo Zhao was still worried about Zuo Zhengxuan's affairs, and the coffin passed by him, but he didn't pay special attention.

Shangguan Youlan watched from the side, sneering.

Your father has already shown you, but you can't see it yourself. At that time, you won't be able to blame me.

Luo Yu also followed Shangguan Youlan.

She glanced at Zuo Zhao, then at the huge coffin, and her heart was filled with lingering feelings, and she couldn't say what it felt.

Zuo Zhao is so pitiful.

He would never dream of the father he was looking for was in the huge coffin in front of him.

Zuo Zhengxuan watched Emperor Donglin grow up since childhood, and he was a teacher for decades, and now he is buried with Emperor Donglin...

Is this considered fate?

While Zuo Zhao was anxiously searching for Zuo Zhengxuan's whereabouts, a letter was being sent from the palace to Zhuo Tianning.

There is only one content in the letter: Zuo Zhengxuan is dead, so Zuo Hui doesn't have to stay anymore.

The reason why I kept Zuo Hui before was just because I was worried about Zuo Zhengxuan's influence among the old ministers.

Now she has killed Zuo Zhengxuan, and ordered someone to dress up as Zuo Zhengxuan and then disappear inexplicably.

Although everyone would talk about this matter in a short period of time, no matter how much they doubted it, they would not doubt her. As time goes by, everyone would only think that Zuo Zhengxuan was unlucky. Someone had plotted against him and would slowly forget him.

And Zuo Hui...

He had an engagement with Shangguan Youlan. Although he discovered that Shangguan Youlan had poisoned Shangguan Xiuruo, Emperor Donglin did not intend to let Zuo Hui marry Shangguan Youlan again. The engagement could be said to be dead in name only.

But the problem is... others don't know!

In the eyes of all officials, there is still a marriage contract between Shangguan Youlan and Zuo Hui.

If Zuo Hui came back alive, they would definitely force Shangguan Youlan to marry Zuo Hui.

Once she gets married, she doesn't have to think about the throne of Donglin.

How could Shangguan Youlan tolerate such a thing?

Therefore, she must let Zuo Hui die outside. If she can blame Feng Wuyou again and say that Feng Wuyou killed him, that would be the most perfect thing.

She did this very quickly. Almost as soon as she pushed Zuo Zhengxuan's body into the coffin of Emperor Donglin, she ordered the people around her who secretly protected her to do it.

She gave those people a name: Emperor Guard!

Shangguan Youlan believed that she would be the emperor when she gave her the order to heaven, and these people were to protect her.
