Chapter 159 I’m afraid it’s this father-in-law who is bullying the king

With one sentence, Emperor Xiao instantly turned his attention to Xian Yue.

Compared to Qin Li, Xian Yue was obviously a better breakthrough point. Feeling Xiao Emperor's gaze, she trembled nervously and stammered.

"No, no, little lady, I didn't break into the forbidden area."

"Why would you be so nervous if there was no intrusion!" Emperor Xiao asked coldly.

"My slave, this is my first time being questioned by the Emperor. I'm so nervous that I lost my temper. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Xian Yue kowtowed as she spoke, and then almost half of her body was buried on the ground. She was so nervous that she didn't dare to raise her head.

"Since you have never done anything wrong, there is no need to be nervous. Just answer the emperor's questions honestly." Queen Wei paused and then said, "Since you said that Miss Chu has not entered the forbidden area, where is she at the moment? "

"This, slave, slave..." Xianyue was still hesitating, looking panicked and unable to speak clearly.

"Bastard!" Emperor Xiao completely lost his patience in asking questions, "I will give you one last chance. If you don't tell the truth, then..."

Before Emperor Xiao finished speaking, the guards who entered Merlin to search came out.

"For your information, Your Majesty, no intruders have been seen in the forbidden area."

"No?" Emperor Xiao frowned suspiciously and glanced at Queen Wei.

After hearing this, Queen Wei quickly frowned, but she suppressed her suspicion for just a moment.

The plum forest has been surrounded on all sides. No matter how powerful Xiao Jinzhi's martial arts is, it would be difficult to leave from other places without alerting the guards. He must still be in the plum forest.

Meeting Xiao Emperor's gaze, Queen Wei said calmly: "Your Majesty, what the little eunuch who reported the news is absolutely true, it doesn't look like a lie. If the Emperor doesn't believe it, you can let him confront you. Could it be Mrs. Merlin? , the prince is very powerful, so he is hiding?"

Emperor Xiao thought for a moment, then withdrew his gaze and said to the guard: "Continue the search and be sure to find the person."

"Who are you looking for, father?" Xiao Jinzhi's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Everyone turned around and saw Xiao Jinzhi and Chu Huanyan walking together.

Queen Wei's expression changed, "Why are you here?"

When did Xiao Jinzhi and Chu Huanyan come out of Meilin!
"I've met my father, I've met my mother." Xiao Jinzhi had already walked closer.

Chu Huanyan followed behind, bowing in the same manner.

After standing up straight, Xiao Jinzhi smiled and asked Queen Wei: "Why is the Queen Mother so surprised? Er Chen and Miss Chu heard there was movement here, and heard that Xian Yue and Qin Li were summoned, so Came here specially to take a look.”

"Prince, where did you go just now?" Emperor Xiao's face was still gloomy, but it was a little better than when he first learned that Xiao Jinzhi had entered Merlin.

"Reporting to my father, I am accompanying Miss Chu to investigate the case." Xiao Jinzhi replied calmly.

"That's nonsense. Someone clearly saw you entering the forbidden area just now." Queen Wei said immediately.

"Forbidden land?" Xiao Jinzhi was obviously stunned for a moment and looked at the guards around him, "So, are these people here to arrest Erchen and Miss Chu?" Before Queen Wei and Emperor Xiao could speak, Xiao Jinzhi frowned again and said : "Er Chen and Miss Chu have been investigating the case seriously and have not entered this place at all. Who did the queen mother listen to nonsense and have such a misunderstanding?"

"Prince, have you really never entered the forbidden area?" Emperor Xiao looked suspicious.

He didn't completely believe Xiao Jinzhi's words, but the other party and Chu Huanyan had indeed come from the other side just now. The entire forbidden area had been surrounded. He wanted to remain unnoticed under the noses of so many guards. It's too difficult to leave, not to mention that there is Chu Huanyan who doesn't know martial arts.

After receiving Xiao Jinzhi's affirmative reply, Emperor Xiao looked at Chu Huanyan again, "You have never entered the forbidden area?"

Chu Huanyan also shook her head, "For the record, Your Majesty, I have never entered this place. Even if there is a forbidden area in the palace, I only found out about it when the Queen mentioned it today."

"The queen mentioned the forbidden area?" Xiao Di frowned, his eyes dark and unclear, "Queen, what's going on?"

Empress Wei did not tell anything about Qinfang, but she said calmly to Emperor Xiao, "I may have brought it up accidentally. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Xiao had a sullen face and said nothing.

Chu Huanyan suddenly said as if she had a sudden realization: "Did the empress mention the forbidden area today, so she thought that my daughter might be curious and come to spy, so I misunderstood that His Highness the Crown Prince and my daughter entered this place?"

Queen Wei's expression changed.

Chu Huanyan's words sounded like she was just guessing that she had misunderstood, but in fact, she was clearly hinting to the emperor that she deliberately lured them to the forbidden area.

"Ms. Chu has thought too much. I did hear the report from the young eunuch, saying that he saw His Highness the Crown Prince leading someone into the forbidden area. I thought this matter was of great importance. In order to prevent any accidents, I reported it to the Emperor."

"I wonder if the little eunuch that the Queen Mother mentioned is here now?" Xiao Jinzhi asked after taking over Queen Wei's words, and at the same time looked around.

Empress Wei glanced at Taoyao, who quickly left and brought back a young eunuch not long after.

As soon as he saw Emperor Xiao, the young eunuch immediately knelt down and hurriedly told what he had just seen Xiao Jinzhi entering the forbidden area. Even after seeing Chu Huanyan, he said with certainty that what he just saw was the same as Xiao Jinzhi. The person traveling with Jin Zhi is Chu Huanyan.

"Everything I said is true, I saw it with my own eyes!" The little eunuch kowtowed to Emperor Xiao several times, and it didn't look like he was lying at all.

Seeing the young eunuch's appearance, Queen Wei's expression softened a little, but her eyes were dark.

Regardless of whether Xiao Jinzhi and the others went in, now that things have come to this, even if they don't catch them, they must at least make the emperor suspicious of them, otherwise their efforts tonight will be in vain.

"It's simply ridiculous. I have never been to this forbidden area." Xiao Jinzhi frowned and said unhappily, "Father, this eunuch is obviously talking nonsense and has the intention to frame you. Father, please don't be deceived by him."

"Jinzhi, why is a mere little eunuch trying to frame you? If you really enter this forbidden area, it doesn't matter. Tell your father honestly, and the emperor won't blame you." Queen Wei said in a persuasive tone. After finishing, he did not forget to say to Chu Huanyan: "Miss Chu, you must not be confused and hide it with the prince, and end up committing the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Chu Huanyan looked at Empress Wei, their eyes met, and she smiled softly, "Empress, my daughter and the Crown Prince have indeed never been to the forbidden area. As for deceiving the emperor..."

Chu Huanyan's eyes moved down and landed on the young eunuch, "I'm afraid it's this father-in-law who is bullying you."
