Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 326 Allowed to Leave the Palace
"What did you say?"

After hearing Jiang Yanran's words, the emperor raised his voice a little bit, as if he was very surprised by her request. After he said it, he realized that he was too emotional, so he stopped talking and looked at Xiao Yanfeng next to him: "Xiao Aiqing ,How is this going?"

Jiang Yanran was the first to answer: "Reporting to the emperor, when the minister's wife and Princess Ling met by chance, they hit each other very well, and they have already regarded her as a righteous daughter."

If you hit it off, you hit it off, and if you recognize the righteous girl, you will recognize the righteous girl. This is nothing more than an ordinary thing.

The emperor frowned: "Mrs. Xiao and Concubine Ling have a crush on Ling. It is understandable to recognize her as a righteous daughter. I wonder if it has anything to do with what Mrs. Xiao is asking for today?"

"A few days ago, my wife heard that the emperor brought Princess Ling to the palace, and she was very happy. The emperor is willing to show compassion for Princess Ling who stayed alone in the Ling Palace. This is a good thing. This is what my wife thought before going to the banquet today, but ..."

Jiang Yanran paused for a moment, then changed the subject, "Outside the palace just now, the minister's wife heard all the things that happened just now, and only now did she realize that there are so many disasters in the palace, and there are so many people who want to put to death."

"Mrs. Xiao's words are serious." The emperor's eyes showed a bit of sharpness, "Princess Ling lives very well in the palace, besides, Princess Ling is safe and sound now, isn't she?"

"Safe and well?" Mrs. Xiao straightened her body and looked directly into the emperor's eyes. "This is Princess Ling's fate. If it wasn't thanks to the personal nurse who pulled her back at that time, she would have fallen into the lake."

Jiang Yanran confronted the emperor and refuted his opinion, Xiao Yanfeng said in a timely manner: "My wife's words are inappropriate, please don't blame the emperor."

What Jiang Yanran said just now offended Long Fu, after listening to Xiao Yanfeng's words, the emperor could only suppress the anger no matter how much he felt in his heart.

After all, this Xiao Yanfeng is a first-class military marquis in the country, holding the military power in his hands, so he must not fall out with him.

"Your Majesty, my wife begs the Emperor to allow Princess Ling to leave the palace and stay in the General's Mansion." After Jiang Yanran said this sentence forcefully, she bowed straight to the Emperor.

"you!"

The emperor glared angrily, shook his sleeve vigorously, then turned to Eunuch Li next to him and said, "Please come out, Princess Ling."

Zhao Min came out under the leadership of Eunuch Li and looked at the Xiao family members who were kneeling on the ground with surprise in his eyes, as if he didn't know anything about this matter.

Since Zhao Min came out, the emperor has been observing the expression on her face, seeing that she doesn't seem to have colluded with her beforehand, so her complexion improved a bit.

Zhao Min walked to the side of General Xiao, and knelt down towards the emperor: "I wonder what orders the emperor has for summoning his ministers?"

"I'm asking you." The emperor's tone became a little colder, "Mrs. Xiao said that she fell in love with you and recognized you as a righteous daughter before. Is there such a thing?"

Zhao Min raised his head, without any panic on his face: "Return to the emperor, there is indeed such a thing."

Xiao Mo, who was kneeling at the back, listened to her mother and Zhao Min singing together, and wondered in her heart, she had never heard her mother say this, what kind of drama are these two singing in front of her?

Although she was puzzled in her heart, Xiao Mo also knew what the occasion was, and it was definitely not her turn to speak, so she could only lower her head and watch how the situation developed.

I am taking you into the palace out of good intentions, do you have any complaints?The emperor looked straight at Zhao Min, "Look at me, tell the truth."

Zhao Min raised his head and looked at the emperor with a hint of threat in his eyes, but he didn't take it seriously: "Reporting to the emperor, my wife thanked the emperor for his kindness, and I am grateful for the emperor's compassion, but..."

Zhao Min changed the subject: "Living in the palace, my wife doesn't feel very comfortable, but with the emperor's care everywhere, I feel comfortable living here, but after tonight's incident, my wife dare not hug her again. I have such an idea."

"Princess Ling has something in her words, what do you mean?" The emperor tried his best to hide the anger in his heart.

"I'm afraid that if I continue to live in this palace, I won't be able to wait for the day when my husband returns." As she said that, Zhao Min's eyes were filled with tears, and she actually shed tears.

Zhao Min knew that this was his only chance to leave the palace, if he didn't seize it, it would be difficult to find such an opportunity in the future, so he risked offending the emperor's wrath to take a chance.

"Bold!"

When the emperor got angry, everyone in the hall knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"With me here, who would dare to kill you secretly! This is my palace! Of course, I can protect you."

The emperor vowed to give his promise, but Zhao Min didn't appreciate it at all.

"Your Majesty, there are tens of thousands of people in the harem, and there must be many people who hide evil intentions towards their concubines. Even if the emperor is all powerful, how can he prevent that villain from attacking his wives every day? The wives are really scared day and night." , I can’t sleep at night.”

The emperor wanted to use Zhao Min's mouth to say that he didn't want to leave the palace, but Madam Xiao's request was interrupted by such words. She never expected that Zhao Min would turn against him. It seems that she really didn't want to stay in the palace anymore.

"That's it."

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, the emperor finally waved his hand and let go, "Since Princess Ling is also willing to live in the General's Mansion, then follow Madam Xiao's words."

The emperor looked at these people who hurriedly thanked him, and felt a chill in his heart. As long as Zhao Min is still in the capital, why would he be afraid that Gu Lingqing and Gu Qi would join forces to rebel?

In fact, this is the emperor's real intention to use Zhao Min to threaten Gu Lingqing. Gu Lingqing has [-] troops in his hand to attack Wangcheng this time. If he really intends to rebel and join forces with Gu Qi to deal with him, it will be a big deal.

Although the emperor doesn't care about the mere 3 army, he still has to be fully prepared.

"General Xiao will follow me."

After saying this, the emperor walked out on his own, Xiao Yanfeng and Jiang Yanran glanced at each other.

Jiang Yanran's eyes couldn't help revealing some worries, Xiao Yanfeng nodded slightly towards her, gave her a reassuring look, then got up and followed the emperor's pace.

After the emperor left, Zhao Min got up quickly and helped Mrs. Xiao who was next to her up, her eyes were full of gratitude to her.

There are so many people at the moment, some things are hard to say, after the two of them just stood up, they have been listening to the Empress Dowager, the Empress and others coming out of the hall.

After seeing the Queen Mother, Mrs. Xiao quickly apologized: "Today is the Queen Mother's birthday, which is a good day, but my wife used this blessed day to beg the Emperor for such a thing. Please don't blame the Queen Mother."

If there is nothing wrong between Mrs. Xiao and Zhao Min, the Queen Mother would not believe that she has been in the harem for so many years, but she really doesn't bother to care about it, so why bother talking when the dust has settled?

"No problem."
