Chapter 90 Returning to the Palace
Today is the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, and there are three days before the Chinese New Year. Under the instruction of Zhu Qiao and Mrs. Qin, Xiaomei specially came to the Criminal Division to invite Zhu You and Ye Ke to return home. The two of them hadn't returned home for a long time after the dismemberment case, so this time they had to be invited back to the mansion for whatever they said, and secondly, there were distinguished guests from the mansion.

"Guest? Who's here?" Zhu Youjian frowned slightly, puzzled.

Ye Ke was also curious. When the end of the year was approaching, no one would visit relatives and friends. They were busy preparing new year's goods to celebrate the new year.

"Xiaomei doesn't know, anyway, the old lady and the third lady ordered Xiaomei to invite the young lady and the second son back today." Xiaomei's face was as determined as if she was in danger.

Ye Ke got up and pinched Xiaomei's face, and said with a smile, "Look at you, you look at death like home, if the two of us don't go back, can you still tie me up?"

"That, that Xiaomei is going to cause trouble. The third lady said, if I can't take it back, then I will be a useless girl, and then I will be promised to the beggar at the door!" Xiaomei's face was pale, and she was about to cry. When he came out, his tone was flustered.

Putting down the file in his hand, Zhu You pinched his eyebrows and comforted him: "Don't worry, she's scaring you!"

Xiaomei was about to speak in a hurry, but Ye Ke said to Zhu You: "Master, let's go back. The investigation of missing persons in the capital has failed, and the investigation sent to Anxi County has not yet found results. It is useless to worry now. It's the end of the new year, let's go back to the house and have a look."

She understands very well that although Zhu Qiao is just scaring Xiaomei, for a maid like Xiaomei, her own destiny is completely involuntary to decide by herself. A word from the master will determine her life. She regards Xiaomei as her friend, I don't want to see her frightened either.

The workaholic Zhuyou glanced at the file reluctantly, and asked, "Where is the person sent to visit and investigate the preaching? Is there any news?"

Ye Ke shook his head and said: "The scope of the capital city is already very wide, and it will take time to visit. What's more, the scope of this visit also includes Anxi County, which is a vast area. It only takes two days. How can there be results so quickly. "

Seeing that Xiaomei standing in front of the door looked more and more anxious, Ye Ke immediately said with a straight face: "Okay, go back to the house, be obedient!!!"

Zhu You is stupid, no one has ever talked to him like this before, even the deceased Ding Guogong and the old Qin old lady, the tone of the elder's order but also the doting tone made him a little at a loss , I could only stand there in a daze, then nodded heavily, and choked out a word for a long time: "Okay!"

Xiaomei smiled, one is that her mission can be completed, and she doesn’t have to marry a beggar, and the other is that Ye Ke’s tone of voice and Zhu You’s reaction just now really made her laugh, and she looked at Ye Ke for a while. , take a look at Zhu You in a while.

"What are you looking at?" Ye Ke asked.

"Hee hee. Xiaomei thinks that the second young master will listen to what the young lady says." Xiaomei leaned close to Ye Ke's ear and whispered.

Ye Ke glanced at Zhu You, who was standing up indifferently, and asked doubtfully, "Really?" Then, when Zhu You walked past the two of them, she murmured, "My lord, do you have frostbite?"

Zhu You: "Huh?"

"Your ears are red"

Zhu You walked out of the door with a flick of his sleeves, and a low voice came: "No problem! Let's go quickly, don't miss the time for dinner."

When the two returned to the mansion, it was already a quarter of noon, and it was time for lunch, but when they saw Emperor Xianzong sitting on the dining table, they were both dumbfounded, and immediately went forward to salute .

"You two lovers, don't be too polite, let's be flat!" Emperor Xianzong smiled and raised his right hand falsely.

However, in the hall, Qin Lao Madam is sitting beside Emperor Xianzong, Aunt Zhu Guizhi and Uncle Chen Yan are accompanying him, Chen Liren is standing beside a pillar in the distance, looking at the two people who are saluting with unfriendly eyes, but Zhu Qiao is standing there On the side, winking at Ye Ke, as if complaining about why they just came back.

When the two got up, he said: "Is it a little unexpected that I came here today without invitation?"

Zhu You hurriedly said: "The emperor came to the Duke's Mansion and made the Duke's Mansion flourish!"

But Ye Ke beeped softly: "Is there no one to eat with?"

Unexpectedly, these words fell firmly into the ears of everyone present. The old lady Qin's complexion changed drastically, but Zhu You's eyes were a little calm, but Chen Liren's family had a look of gloating in his eyes. Immediately, Chen Liren said nothing to him Pointing at Ye Ke one step ahead, he said, "What a bold girl, dare to speak rudely in front of the emperor!"

Emperor Xianzong was originally just approaching the end of the new year, and was a little annoyed by the various tedious etiquettes and sacrifices in the palace and harem, and the food was tasteless. Today, he happened to be free, so he wanted to come to the Duke's Mansion to find Ye Ke to have dinner together. Why, every time he dined with Ye Ke, he always felt that the food was delicious.

It is also because of this level of relationship that he and Ye Ke stayed together not only with the relationship between a monarch and his ministers, but also with a kind of closeness like a friend. In addition, today he came to the Duke's Mansion, which meant being a guest. Great, when I heard Ye Ke's words, I was about to make a joke with a smile on my face.

But Chen Liren was anxious to show his face in front of the emperor, so he directly reprimanded Ye Ke, which made his face stiffen, his smile disappeared, and his eyes became a little uncomfortable.

Eunuch Zhang, who was accompanying him by the side, was a smart person. Seeing the change in Emperor Xianzong's expression, Eunuch Zhang immediately looked at Chen Liren who was standing beside the pillar and asked, "Who is this?"

Seeing Eunuch Zhang asking himself, Chen Liren also said that he spoke to reflect Emperor Xianzong's intentions. He was overjoyed immediately, stepped forward to salute with a smile, and said, "My servant, Chen Liren, is a scholar!"

"Scholar?" Eunuch Zhang looked contemptuous, but Zhu Guizhi and Chen Yan didn't seem to see it. They thought it was Chen Liren who had won the Sacred Heart, so they hurried forward and said, "He is my son, a scholar. I can't see how rude this lowly girl is!"

She looked at Eunuch Zhang with a flattering smile.

At this time, Emperor Xianzong smiled and said: "Low? How low?"

Chen Liren immediately knelt down to reply, and said with a smile: "If you want to return to the emperor, this girl is just a prostitute, how can she sit with the Holy Majesty? It is unlucky for a prostitute to deal with dead bodies!"

Emperor Xianzong laughed loudly, and said: "It seems that this scholar has learned a lot, why don't you take her place to drink with me?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Liren was overjoyed, "Thank you for your grace!"

But Zhu You's eyes showed a playful look. He has been an official for many years, how could he not know Emperor Xianzong's intentions?He was sure that Chen Liren was going to be in trouble.
