Chapter 305 Fan Wai De Ling: Summoned by the Emperor

De Ling came to the imperial study room, inexplicably, she felt a little nervous.

The eunuch went in to report, then came out, and respectfully said to De Ling: "Princess, the emperor invites you in."

De Ling nodded upon hearing the eunuch's words, then took a deep breath, suppressed her uneasiness, and walked in.

"My daughter sees her father!" Deling respectfully saluted her father who was sitting on it.

The emperor heard Deling's words, and said in a faint voice: "Get up!"

De Ling heard the emperor's words and stood up, but at this time she was not as comfortable as usual, joking in front of her father, her heart was tense at this time.

After reading the memorial in his hand, the emperor raised his head, and said to his daughter in a faint voice, "Do you know why I called you here?"

"Daughter knows, father, I heard something happened to Cheng Jirong!" De Ling said respectfully to the emperor.

When the emperor heard De Ling's words, he looked at De Ling faintly, and said to her, "Do you have anything to tell me?"

When De Ling heard the emperor's words, her heart skipped a beat. Although her face was still calm, she understood that sooner or later, her father and emperor would know about her and Yuan Jingyao, but now , she didn't want to tell her father yet.

De Ling pursed her mouth tightly, and finally she said to the emperor: "Father, my daughter has something to hide from you, but now, my daughter can't tell you about it. Don't worry, my daughter will not betray you!"

The emperor was dissatisfied when he heard De Ling's words, but he still said: "Okay, since you said that, I won't say any more. Anyway, let's do this first, and..."

The emperor looked at De Ling, and said calmly: "Since Cheng Jirong's accident happened, I will choose another son-in-law for you."

"Father, let's not mention this matter for now." De Ling showed an unnatural expression on his face. She really didn't want to marry another man at this time, although she said that she was sad because Yuan Jingyao didn't want to submit to the court. , but she still has this man in her heart.

Hearing De Ling's words, the emperor immediately sighed, and then said to De Ling: "In that case, go down!"

"Yes!" De Ling retreated respectfully after hearing the emperor's words. Although she couldn't guess what her father was thinking at this time, and whether she really trusted her words, at this time she could only Wait and see.

After De Ling left, the emperor snorted coldly, "This is my most beloved daughter, and I am really disappointed!"

The emperor left the imperial study with a bad face, returned to the bedroom, and signaled the eunuchs and maids who were waiting on the scene to retreat, then activated the secret compartment and walked into the dark room.

There was an underground tunnel in the dark room. After the emperor took the luminous pearl and walked for almost a stick of incense, he rubbed against the wall in front of him.

"Your Majesty!" After the emperor came out, several men in black outside bowed respectfully to him.

"En." The emperor responded lightly, sitting on the throne above, and then he asked, "Is there any movement in Yuan Jingyao today?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Yuan Jingyao has been patrolling the shops in the capital, and there is no movement." One of the men in black came out and said respectfully to the emperor.

Hearing his words, the emperor thought for a while, and said, "Have people been arranged near Cheng's family?"

"Your Majesty, people have been arranged, but I still can't find out how Yuan Jingyao attacked Mr. Cheng. I suspect that someone from the Cheng family colluded with Yuan Jingyao." The man in black then replied.

Hearing his words, the emperor snorted coldly, "Yuan Jingyao, I really didn't expect such a method, you continue to monitor according to my order, and also, be careful when monitoring Linger, don't let her notice it! "

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone present responded in unison.

The emperor got up and returned to his bedroom, and then ordered people to invite Yuan Jingyao into the palace.

After De Ling returned from the imperial study, she has been in a bad mood.

Seeing De Ling's appearance, the personal maid immediately asked with concern: "Princess, are you feeling well?"

"Go and inquire and see how Cheng Jirong's situation is!" De Ling said immediately after hearing the maidservant's words.

The servant girl nodded upon hearing De Ling's order, "The servant girl will go to inquire immediately. Also, princess, Concubine Xian and Concubine De will come to visit you when you go to His Majesty's place."

Hearing what the maid said, De Ling sneered, "The weasel has no good intentions in wishing the chicken a new year! Next time they come over, just say I'm not here!"

De Ling knew that after hearing about Cheng Jirong's accident, Concubine Xian and Concubine De came to visit her, but in fact wanted to recommend their natal nephew. De Ling felt extremely disgusted with the actions of Concubine Xian and Concubine De.

When the maid heard Deling's words, she respectfully responded "Yes"

De Ling waved his hand and signaled the maidservant to inquire about Cheng Jirong's situation.

The maid bowed and left, and not long after, a eunuch walked in quickly and saluted De Ling respectfully.

Seeing the eunuch in front of her, De Ling changed her lazy posture and asked aloud, "What's the matter?"

"Master, Your Majesty sent someone to invite the head of Yuanmen to enter the palace!" the eunuch said respectfully.

"Clang!"

Hearing the eunuch's words, De Ling's expression changed suddenly, and he accidentally knocked over the teacup in his hand. His father actually invited Yuan Jingyao into the palace!

"Princess...princess!" Seeing De Ling's appearance, the eunuch looked at her nervously.

"Did my father send someone over to ask Yuanmen to head the house after I left the imperial study?" De Ling gradually calmed down after hearing the eunuch's words, and asked the eunuch in front of him.

Overhearing De Ling's words, Tai Tai shook her head and said, "No, His Majesty returned to the bedroom after you left, and made an order when he came out."

When De Ling heard the eunuch's answer, he smiled wryly, Father, so you already knew everything, and my daughter thought I could hide it from you for a while!

De Ling waved his hand, signaling the eunuch to leave.

She sat here in a daze for a long time, and wanted to go to the imperial study to confess everything to the emperor, but when she stood up, she frowned, and finally sat down, wait!Let's see how things develop!

Yuan Jingyao sat by the lotus pond, looked at the blooming lotus here, and thought about the scene when he met De Ling by the West Lake in Hangzhou. Unknowingly, he fell into memories.

Until the sound of footsteps came from the ear, Yuan Jingyao immediately came back to his senses.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Jingyao asked in a faint voice.

"Master, someone from the palace said that the emperor invited you to the palace as a guest!" A man said respectfully to Yuan Jingyao.

Yuan Jingyao raised his eyebrows when he heard the man's words, "A guest? It's really rare. When the emperor went to Jiangnan, he entered Hangzhou, and no one came to Yuanmen as a guest. Now, he actually wants me to go to the palace as a guest?"

"It's not a good thing to be in charge, it's not good for you to be subordinate, you'd better refuse to accept." The man frowned and said to Yuan Jingyao.

"Hehe! Reject? If the head of the family refuses, did the emperor say that my head of the Yuan family has no one in his eyes, and even his emperor's old man is not in his eyes?" Yuan Jingyao suddenly smiled at the subordinates in front of him. Said.

Hearing Yuan Jingyao's words, the subordinates in front of him curled their lips and said disdainfully: "The imperial court wishes to destroy our Yuanmen. The emperor has tampered with Yuanmen secretly over the years. If it weren't for our profound foundation, the Yuanmen would have died a long time ago. I can’t bear the troubles of these people! Now the emperor sends someone to invite you, and his subordinates are worried that the emperor will detain you in the palace, and you will be in danger when the time comes.”

"When did you become so timid?" Yuan Jingyao heard the man's words, put away the smile on his face, and asked the man in front of him in a faint voice.

Hearing Yuan Jingyao's words, the man's face suddenly turned blue and then pale. He is not timid, but he is worried that something will happen to the head, okay?

However, under Yuan Jingyao's sharp gaze, the man couldn't explain this, so he could only lower his head and dare not speak.

Yuan Jingyao cast his eyes on the lotus, and said lightly: "Go out and reply, I will follow them into the palace after changing clothes."

"Head!" The man's eyes widened in astonishment when he heard Yuan Jingyao's words.

"Yuan Cheng, the emperor is only playing tricks on our Yuan Sect secretly. He dare not stumbling our Yuan Sect in the open. However, if I refuse to enter the palace at the invitation of the Emperor this time, what do you think the Emperor will do? ?” Yuan Jingyao said to the man in front of him in a faint voice.

When the man heard Yuan Jingyao's words, he burst into cold sweats. If the head of the family really did not enter the palace, the emperor would definitely use this matter to say that the head of the Yuan family was defiant and despised the emperor's prestige. It will affect Yuanmen's prestige among the people.

At the same time, the emperor will use this name to question the head of the family.

The man didn't expect that the head of the family was invited into the palace because the emperor plotted against him. If he doesn't go, he has to go!
It made the man go crazy immediately, no, I have to report the letter to the elders quickly, lest something really happen to the master in the palace.

Yuan Jingyao looked at the panicked appearance of his subordinates in front of him, straightened his face, and said angrily, "Why are you panicking? You are so panicked over such a trivial matter. People from Yuanmen should calm down!"

Hearing Yuan Jingyao's reprimand, the man immediately calmed down, "The master, the subordinate is wrong."

"Okay, go down!" Yuan Jingyao waved his hand, and he was going to go back to his room to change clothes.

"Princess, the head of Yuanmen has entered the palace! He is meeting His Majesty in the imperial study!" the eunuch said respectfully to De Ling.

Hearing the eunuch's words, De Ling nodded, "Pay attention to how long the head of Yuanmen chatted with his father, after he leaves, come back and report to Bengong!"

Tai listened to Deling's words, and retreated respectfully.

When there was only De Ling in the room, she changed her calm state in front of the eunuch just now, and frowned. The thought of Yuan Jingyao facing her father at this time made her heart flutter.

De Ling's hands were tangled together, wondering if Yuan Jingyao would mention her in front of her father, and if she would talk about them in front of her father, thinking, she Feeling uneasy, she wished she could rush to the Imperial Study Room to have a look, but she knew that she couldn't be so impulsive...

In the imperial study room, the emperor stared directly at Yuan Jingyao with sharp eyes like a knife, and Yuan Jingyao let the emperor look at him with a calm smile on his lips.

I don't know how long it took, but I only heard the emperor's hearty laughter coming from his mouth...
