Chapter 21
In the Fengchun Hall, Emperor Yong sat upright, and the Marquis of Qin Yang, the Pan family and all the servants of the Hou family knelt in front of him.However, after a long time of calling "I have seen Your Majesty", Emperor Yong did not see any intention of letting them get up.

It has been two months since Emperor Yong visited the south, the Empress Dowager took over the government, and Marquis Qin Yang, as a relative of the emperor, had not performed such a grand ceremony for a long time.He was a civil servant, and he woke up in the middle of the night and was woken up by someone, his breath was not stable, after kneeling like this for a long time, his knees were already weak and his feet were sore.

I don't know how long I waited until I heard Emperor Yong's voice like an amnesty: "Excuse me."

Qin Yanghou stood up with difficulty, only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and almost fell down, Pan's beside him hurriedly supported him: "Master Hou, are you alright?"

Qin Yanghou shook his head.

Emperor Yong smiled lightly: "Shu Qing won't blame me for disturbing me in the middle of the night, right?"

Emperor Yong had a gentle temperament and rarely got angry in the court. Even the old general of the Xie family, who had a violent temper, praised Emperor Yong many times as a kind-hearted and wise emperor.

However, Qin Yanghou at this moment felt that Emperor Yong's smile concealed a knife, and his eyes contained deep meaning. He was clearly a few years younger than Qin Yanghou, and had been in power for many years. He was no longer the little boy who followed the eldest princess.

"Your Majesty is terrified," Qin Yanghou lowered his eyes, avoiding looking at Emperor Yong, "I don't know why His Majesty came to visit late at night?"

"I haven't seen Yaoyao for a long time, and I miss her very much," Emperor Yong sighed, "Where is she now?"

Shu Yao?Shu Yao is being imprisoned in the ancestral hall by him!Qin Yanghou was once angry, and even ordered people to strictly guard the ancestral hall, lock the ancestral hall, and not allow Shu Yao to have dinner... He was startled, and his face remained unchanged: "The night is dark, and I am already asleep. Your Majesty is not as good as you." Let's rest for a night first, and then I will bring Yaoyao into the palace tomorrow morning?"

Emperor Yong smiled and said: "Yaoyao likes my uncle the most. If I wake her up, she will not blame me. Where does Yaoyao live, just take me there."

With so many eyes staring at him, it is naturally impossible for Qin Yanghou to order someone to bring Shu Yao under Emperor Yong's nose. A swipe of cold sweat ran across his forehead, and Pan's next to him suddenly knelt on the ground, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" !"

"What's your crime?" Emperor Yong looked at her indifferently, "Or did I disturb your Qinyanghou's residence by visiting late at night?"

Pan's eyes were red, and she was full of self-blame, "It's my concubine's incompetence in housekeeping. Today, a brother and sister appealed for grievances in front of the Marquis of Qinyang's mansion. The master's ear bell is used as a token. Lord Hou didn't believe that the princess would do such a thing, so he asked the princess to give an explanation and said a few harsh words. When the princess got angry, he said that he wanted to see the eldest princess and locked himself in the ancestral hall. Even dinner is useless...”

"What nonsense!"

Emperor Yong slapped the armrest heavily, and his voice was as cold as ice, "Qin Yanghou, Mrs. Pan, I entrusted Yaoyao to you, is this how you treat her?"

When the emperor was angry, Fengchun Hall was silent, and everyone around him knelt down in unison: "Your Majesty calm down—"

"uncle!"

The girl's delicate voice sounded outside Fengchun Hall, Shu Yao took small steps, raised her skirt and stepped across the threshold, and flung herself into Emperor Yong's arms like a tired bird returning to its nest, "Uncle, you are finally back!"

Chunrui and Songzhen followed behind her, escorting two heavily tied people, who were obviously the guards of the ancestral hall.

Qin Yanghou and Pan's complexions suddenly turned pale.

Especially Mrs. Pan, these two servants were all trained by her. She specially told them that if Chunrui and Songzhen deliver food, they must not be let in, and the little princess must be hungry all night.

Emperor Yong hugged the little princess, and found that her face had become thinner, and the coldness in her eyes was even worse, "Why is Yaoyao so thin?"

Shu Yao let go of Emperor Yong, her eyes were red, she didn't look at Qin Yanghou and Pan, "Father insisted that I did something wrong and locked me in the ancestral hall. Uncle, I didn't even eat dinner, but I was so hungry. "

In fact, she was so full that she hadn't digested it yet, but she wouldn't say it.There was nowhere to lie down in the ancestral hall. She was sleepy and cold, and now her back hurts and she feels extremely uncomfortable.

Chun Rui glared at the two servants who were kneeling on the ground at the right time, and added: "Your Majesty, the servants were supposed to deliver meals to the princess, but they didn't let the servants in."

Emperor Yong naturally saw the bruises in the corners of Shu Yao's eyes, and patted her head distressedly, "Let Zhang Sheng take you back to the palace first."

Shu Yao shook her head, turned to shake Emperor Yong's arm, and said coquettishly: "I don't want it, uncle, I want to make it clear to my father that I didn't ride a horse, and I didn't hurt anyone..."

"I know it all," Emperor Yong said in a calm voice, "Yaoyao, sit down and rest first, I have prepared a supper for you. Zhang Sheng, bring people in. And that Lang who said Yaoyao caused him to break his leg What about you? Bring it up too!"

After a while, Li Mingxuan, who was sleepy, was pressed on a stretcher and carried into Fengchun hall.He was dreaming of being a county horse, and his dream was disturbed, so he muttered a few words, seeing the posture in Fengchun Hall, his heart skipped a beat, he turned over and was about to kneel down: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

what happened?Wasn't the person who was brought in with him the book boy Tian Zhu he brought to Ning'an Temple for a release that day?

Compared with Li Mingxuan's embarrassment with a bruised nose and swollen face, Tian Zhu looked much better. When he saw Emperor Yong, he immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Shu Yao sat on the chair, gracefully opened the food box, and took a spoonful of sweet-scented osmanthus soup.She was not hungry at all, but in order not to let Emperor Yong see the clue, she had to taste a few mouthfuls in a decent manner.

If you sell badly, you have to sell it to the end.

She blinked, and saw Li Mingji among the guards brought by Emperor Yong.He is wearing a plain gown, unremarkable in the team, but if you notice, you will feel that he is outstanding.The uncle was angry, and everyone trembled. No one in the group of guards dared to raise their heads. Even her father, who was always proud, knelt on the ground. He was neither humble nor overbearing, and his demeanor remained the same.

As expected of the person she rescued.

As if aware of her probing gaze, Li Mingji raised his eyes slightly and smiled at her.

Shu Yao patted her hot cheek, he is really good-looking... Sure enough, the more plain the clothes, the more it can bring out a person's temperament.

Emperor Yong looked at Tian Zhu who was kneeling on the ground, and said indifferently, "Come and tell Qin Yanghou what's going on."

Tian Zhu tremblingly said: "The little one is named Tian Zhu, and he is Da Langjun's bookboy. A few days ago, Da Langjun suddenly ordered the little one to go to Ning'an Temple to pray for the county chief, and asked the little one to prepare some things. , together with him to explore Ning’an Temple at night... It rained heavily that night, the little boy stepped on the ground, fell off the cliff, hung on a tree branch and only recovered his life, and was rescued by the monks patrolling the mountain.”

He took out a smoke bomb from his pocket, "This is the secret signal agreed between Mr. Da Lang and the younger one. He told the younger one that as soon as he succeeds, the younger one will immediately release the smoke bomb to attract people outside."
