"Xuan~"

As the emperor finished speaking, a rather exquisitely dressed woman in a long skirt was brought up.

After Xia Keyu saw the woman's appearance clearly, a coldness curled up at the corner of his mouth.It seems that this time, the Ning family spent a lot of money.

"Little woman pays homage to Your Majesty~"

The woman carefully knelt down and kowtowed in front of the saint. There was no trace of the arrogance and domineering behavior she had in the Xia family.

Yes, the woman that Concubine Ning found was none other than Aunt Rong.It seems that this time the third prince and his party are eager to put Xia Keyu to death.

"Who are you?" asked the emperor.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the little woman is an aunt of the Xia family."

As Aunt Rong spoke, she glanced at Xia Keyu tremblingly, and then continued:

"My little wife has grown up watching Yong'an County Master. Yong'an County Master used to be silent, slow to react, and didn't like to talk. He is completely different from his current temperament."

"The little woman has lived with the Lord of Yong'an County for more than ten years. She knows that although people may change in appearance and temperament, they will never suddenly become another person."

"The little woman dares to guarantee that the woman in front of her is definitely not Xia Keyu, the eldest daughter of the Xia family!"

Xia Keyu heard the sound and asked coldly:

"What does Aunt Rong want to guarantee? A head on her neck?"

Aunt Rong kowtowed and begged for mercy:
"Please, Your Majesty, save the little woman's life. Although the little woman has a low status, she still has a daughter and wants to live."

As he said that, he pretended to cry pitifully, put on a pitiful look, and knocked his head down hard until it bled.

She had a look of fear on her face, as if Xia Keyu would send someone to kill her head today.

Despite this, Aunt Rong refused to let Xia Keyu go. Instead, she cried and said clearly:

"Your Majesty, the former Xia family's daughter was kind and would never say such threatening words. Pity me, the eldest daughter of the Xia family."

In this way, the emperor was put on a stand, and no matter what he said, it would be bad.

There were officials nearby who jumped out and spoke for Aunt Rong:
"Your Majesty, even if you are a slave, you still have a life. Your Majesty cannot allow evil spirits to take people's lives."

It seems that it has been arranged long ago.

Xia Keyu can be regarded as seeing how difficult Aunt Rong is, she is just like a despicable villain.She was about to say something to defend herself.

Then I heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from a distance in the countryside. The sound of horse hooves became clearer and clearer, and I could faintly see several figures approaching from a distance.

The guards in the palace all drew their swords and surrounded the emperor, looking into the distance with wary expressions.

"Your Majesty, I am from the Fan family, the general of the auxiliary country!"

A man shouted and galloped over on horseback from a distance, it was the pioneer officer.

Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief and saw several horses galloping towards them. The leader was a woman in a bright red cloak, looking heroic.

"Fan Shuyao, the daughter of General Fan Xibiao, pays homage to His Majesty! Your Majesty, please forgive me for any rudeness!"

The woman reined in her horse and walked back and forth while speaking loudly.

Xia Keyu then raised his head and looked at the woman on the horse in surprise. This person turned out to be Xia Keyu's mother Fan Shuyao!
We haven't seen her for just a few months, and Fan Shuyao looks like a heroic woman among women. She is no longer the sickly concubine who lived in the Xia family.

When the emperor saw this, Longyan was delighted and praised:

"As expected of the lady of the Fan family, she is truly a woman who cannot outdo any other woman!"

Next to him, another middle-aged man with big arms and round waist also dismounted and bowed: "Fan Chenglong, the first-rank admiral, pays homage to Your Majesty!" Xia Keyu was surprised. Fan Chenglong is Xia Keyu's other uncle.

Fan Shuyao reined up her horse, jumped off the horse, then looked at Xia Keyu on one side, stepped forward and hugged Xia Keyu, her eyes turned red and she said:

"Keyu, my son, you have suffered~"

Xia Keyu was a little confused by Fan Shuyao's sudden appearance and was at a loss for the moment.

Fan Shuyao turned around and knelt down on one knee, cupped her hands and said angrily:

"Your Majesty, on the way back, Shuyao heard that someone had evil intentions and wanted to frame my daughter Xia Keyu! So she rushed back to the capital all night long."

The emperor pointed to Aunt Rong on the ground and said:

"This is the aunt of the Xia family. I just said that Ke Yu has a completely different temper than before."

Fan Shuyao cupped her hands and raised her head, asking: "Your Majesty, how does your Majesty compare with before?"

The emperor looked at the woman in front of him carefully and commented: "She is completely different."

Fan Shuyao then smiled and said: "That's right. As a mother, I have changed. How can I expect my daughter to stick to her previous temperament."

The queen next to her also advised:
"I heard that the King of Chuzhuang reigned for three years without any decrees. It was just that once the three years passed, he became famous. If he had no wings for three years, he would grow his wings. Therefore, it is said: 'A great talent comes late, but a great voice has a great sound'."

After hearing what they said, the emperor nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, what you two said is absolutely true."

Then she pointed to Aunt Rong on the ground and asked Fan Shuyao, "What do you think should be done with this person?"

Fan Shuyao suddenly pulled out a brown riding crop from her waist and said angrily:

"This man has always been cunning. As a servant of the Xia family, he is restless and dares to collude with outsiders to frame his master!"

As he said that, he whipped Aunt Rong's face with a whip in anger.

Aunt Rong received the whip and screamed.He covered his face and rolled on the ground in pain.

But what Fan Shuyao said was right, she was just an aunt. In the eyes of people with status, she was just a slave who could be beaten and scolded at will.

Everyone around them was also frightened when they saw it. The Fan family was indeed a family of military commanders, and it was indeed worthy of its reputation.

Fan Chenglong stepped forward at the right time, knelt down on one knee as usual, took out a booklet from his chest and said:

"Your Majesty, this is the book my father specially ordered for Your Majesty."

This is to change the topic and stop mentioning Xia Keyu and Fan Shuyao.

The emperor motioned to the young eunuch on one side to bring up the folds and said with emotion:
"The frontier is bitterly cold, thousands of miles away, but General Fan still thinks of me. I am really touched. I wonder if General Fan can still eat?"

Fan Chenglong cupped his hands and said, "My father can still eat three bowls of rice in one meal."

This is a sign that Fan Xibiao is still strong.

"Okay, okay, okay." The emperor said three times in a row.

No matter what was written in Fan Xibiao's excerpt, the Fan family's intention was very clear. For the sake of the Fan family's insistence on guarding the border, the emperor would allow the royal family to spare Xia Keyu no matter what rumors there were.

As for the clown-like little person like Aunt Rong on one side, no one cared at all.

The matter has already been revealed. What the emperor has to do now is to find a scapegoat and pluck himself out.

While he was thinking about it, he saw another imperial guard coming on horseback in the distance to report: "To report to the emperor, I have caught a runaway person under my humble duty."
