Chapter 420 Reversal
"Is there anything else you want to report?" the emperor looked at Xu Yuan's state and asked aloud.

After a long while no one responded, the eunuch next to him yelled softly: "Retire."

The emperor stood up and asked the eunuch to call Xu Yuan to the imperial study, while he went inside first.

Zhang Wenyu walked up to Xu Yuan against the crowd, looked her up and down, and now it seemed that she was no different from usual.

"Master Zhang." Xu Yuan called out with a smile, "Long time no see."

"It's been a long time." Zhang Wenyu glanced at Li Hong, who was still standing to the side, with a guilty expression on his face.

"Master Xu, the emperor wants you to go to the imperial study." The eunuch walked up to the three of them, saluted them and said.

"Yushufang?" Li Hong narrowed his eyes, "Did you call me?"

"Back to the prince, the emperor only said that Master Xu should go over."

Li Hong became nervous. Could it be that the emperor discovered something? He usually hates this kind of Gu worm the most.

Zhang Wenyu took a step back: "Then Master Xu, let's go first, I will go first."

Xu Yuan nodded and looked at Li Hong with the same expression as usual: "Your Highness, I will go there with Eunuch De first."

Li Hong also took a step back to get out of the way, and let Xu Yuan follow Eunuch De, but he kept his hands hidden in his sleeves and exerted force.

Xu Yuan's walking movements froze for a moment, then suddenly she stopped, and looked back at Li Hong, her eyes were not bright at all.

Li Hong felt relieved, turned and left.

In the blink of an eye, Eunuch De suddenly saw that Xu Yuan was not following him, and turned around to look for him, but Xu Yuan was still standing there.

"Master Xu?"

Xu Yuan focused her eyes a little bit, and then looked back at Eunuch De: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's time to go, this way." Eunuch De led Xu Yuan to the side.

Xu Yuan lowered her head. Fortunately, she had been paying attention to his cuffs. If not, it would be really hard to pay attention to his movements.

The emperor summoned her alone, this is an opportunity for her!
The corner of Xu Yuan's mouth curled up slightly. She never expected that the emperor himself would create such a good opportunity for her, and Li Hong couldn't intervene.

When they arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Eunuch De led Xu Yuan in, and retreated by himself first.

The emperor sat in the middle with no expression on his face, flipping through the memorial in his hand.

"Does Aiqing know that I'm looking for you, what's the matter?"

"Back to the emperor, I don't know." Xu Yuan lowered her eyes.

"I'm afraid most of the land near Yonghua City belongs to you?"

"Go back to the emperor, yes."

"You're not afraid to admit it." He closed the memorial, "So much land is in your hands, do you know what the consequences are?"

"These lands are just for the benefit of the common people, so that more food can be produced in the land. I thought there would be no consequences." She raised her eyes and looked at the emperor neither humble nor overbearing.

But I just want to say that she wants to overshadow the position of the royal family. In the eyes of these people, perhaps as long as their position is stable, they will not care about the suffering of the people's livelihood at all.

If they were asked to choose between the throne and the people, they would probably only choose the throne.

The emperor suddenly chuckled: "What you said is an understatement."

Xu Yuan stood with downcast eyes, and when the emperor calmed down, she said, "I have someone I want to recommend to the emperor."

"Who?" The emperor didn't expect that a new minister like her would want to recommend others, and was a little surprised.

"Does the emperor know my husband?"

The emperor had a premonition in his heart that he had sent people to investigate Xu Yuan's life experience. He knew that Xu Yuan had a husband named Li Yin, but it was a pity that the rumor was a fool, so he didn't take it to heart.

Even if this person is really his son, a fool, even if he recognizes him, so what?
"I know." He lowered his eyes, already anticipating what Xu Yuan was going to say.

"Does the emperor want to see him?"

"A fool?"

Xu Yuan's eyes paused, and she was a little displeased with the contemptuous tone of the emperor when he said this. Li Yin really cared about the emperor, but he couldn't tell how much he missed Li Yin.

"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty." Her voice also sank, and she almost couldn't maintain her superficial respect.

Xu Yuan walked behind the screen on one side and stepped into the space.

Li Yin has been waiting for her inside for several days, and now seeing her standing in front of him, he is a little excited.

"are you alright?"

"Well, it's nothing serious." She took his hand, "I saw the emperor, and I'm in his imperial study now, do you want to see him?"

Li Yin raised his brows, his expression overflowing with joy: "Of course I want to, can I do it now?"

"I'll take you out if you want."

He held Xu Yuan's hand back, nodded, and couldn't wait to go out and have a look.

Xu Yuan lowered her eyes, that's all, no matter what, it was his father, and he was indifferent when he didn't see him, but it didn't mean that he would still have that attitude when he really saw him.

She closed her eyes and led Li Yin out of the space, and appeared behind the screen in a flash.

Seeing her suddenly go behind the screen, the emperor was a little curious, and was about to go over to have a look, when he saw Xu Yuan pulling Li Yin out from behind the screen.

"Yin'er?"

"Father." Li Yin suppressed his emotions and did not show too strong emotions.

The emperor was stunned. There was no mechanism behind his screen. How did Xu Yuan hide people behind without being discovered?
"It's really you." He frowned, "Why did you come back? What happened back then has happened, since you escaped and survived, why not just live on?"

"Father Emperor..." Li Yin was stunned. He thought that the emperor believed him, but there was no proof, but now that he said this, it seemed that he had recognized his fault from the very beginning.

The emperor returned to his seat and sat without looking at Li Yin. He didn't want to talk too much to Li Yin.

"My son was framed for what happened back then. You should know that my son is not that kind of person."

"In this royal family, how can we talk about trust?" The emperor sneered, and now he still had to worry about whether Li Hong would suddenly attack him.

When he called Xu Yuan over today, he originally meant to win over Xu Yuan. If she really submitted to Li Hong, then he would not be far from abdicating, but he hadn't waited enough.

Xu Yuan gritted her teeth and looked at the emperor in front of her. This kind of father-son relationship is not as good as the relationship between Li Yin and her own parents.

"I've found the evidence." Li Yin was suddenly discouraged. He thought that his evidence could only be shown to the world, but he didn't expect to show it to his father.

The emperor raised his eyes: "If there is evidence, I can reverse the case for you. If not, why don't you come back."

Li Yin lowered his eyes. He was still waiting for Bai Yi and others to give him the final evidence, but he didn't get it for sure.

"Your Majesty, I will bring Li Yin out, you should know which side I am on?" Xu Yuan said.
