She was originally a noble lady from a wealthy family, but who knew that one day her father, the Grand Tutor, would be demoted and exiled to Lingnan. The starting point is a broken-down house with ...
Chapter 464 What did you say?
The Mi family and the imperial concubine are so willing!
Who made the Duke Liguo's Mansion and the Zhao Mansion so hated by them?
Zhou Hansheng looked at them quietly, then suddenly smiled, his demeanor calm and composed. "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, the Emperor has issued an oral order—no need to be polite, just stand here and listen. The Emperor already knows everything about what happened in the Pear Blossom Pavilion, so don't be surprised. Yes, I told the Emperor the truth. The Emperor's order is that not a single word of this matter be leaked. If any word is leaked, you two will be held accountable. Did you hear clearly? If not, I can repeat it."
Master Tuesday and Master Wednesday were stunned as if struck by lightning!
The two men stared at Zhou Hansheng with wide eyes, their faces drained of color with fear, and they almost fainted on the spot.
How could it be like this!
"You, you, you, you tell, tell, tell."
"That's right," Zhou Hansheng even managed to smile at Mr. Zhou Er with ease. "I reported this to the emperor myself. Isn't there a dead person in here? The eldest young master of the Mi family, right? I don't know which bastard tried to frame my Ya'er, but unfortunately, he failed. So, did Second and Third Uncles hear something from someone that made them insist on breaking in?"
Master Zhou Er and Master Zhou San are regretting so much at this moment!
The two of them wanted to cover their ears and not listen to a word Zhou Hansheng said.
If they don't listen, they won't know anything! They don't know what body is in the Pear Blossom Pavilion, let alone who the body is.
But now, they don't even have the qualifications to say they don't know.
Even more terrifying is... What does this kid Zhou Hansheng mean? Does the Emperor know everything? Is Zhou Hansheng's words the Emperor's intention? Does that mean the Emperor doesn't doubt them? Right?
So the emperor didn't suspect them, but they came to him on their own accord!
"We, we just felt it was strange," Master Zhou San finally regained consciousness and spoke haltingly, "We just passed by here and saw Zhaonan and Zhaobei guarding here and felt strange, so we decided to come over and take a look. The more Zhaonan and Zhaobei refused to let us in, the more we wanted to go in. That's it, there's nothing else to it."
"Right, right!" Master Zhou Er also said quickly, "I originally thought that those two bastards, Zhaonan and Zhaobei, were deliberately teasing us and deliberately opposing us, but I didn't expect that we really, really couldn't enter. You don't have to tell us anything, and we don't want to know. Since you have requisitioned this place, we can find another place to rest."
"We won't bother you anymore, Master. We're leaving!"
“Let’s go!”
Masters Tuesday and Wednesday stumbled away, their calves trembling. Devastated, they reached a secluded spot and, with a cry of "Ouch!", sat down on the rocks of the rockery, their whole body drained of strength, unable to even stand up.
This is so awful!
"Brother, what should we do? What should we do? I didn't expect that bastard would dare to dare to—"
Who could have imagined this? How could someone dare to tell the Emperor about something like this? Shouldn't they be covering it up and running as far away as possible? How could Zhou Hansheng dare to say that!
What made them even more frightened and anxious was how could the emperor believe him so easily?
The one who died was the eldest son of the Mi family! How could the emperor not care at all?
If they had known that the emperor didn't care, why would they do that?
Both of them were about to despair, they had walked themselves into a dead end.
Finally, these two troublesome guys were taken away with threats and intimidation, and Zhou Hansheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He also didn't expect that these two people had the ability to kill people and frame them, but were so timid. They were scared by his few words and turned pale and broke out in cold sweat!
I guess this idea wasn't theirs, it was probably that old lady's, right?
Thinking about the old lady's usual indifferent and calm appearance, Zhou Hansheng really thought that she was the one who would do such a thing.
His parents sent him away when he was young, it seems they really saved his life!
Turning around, Zhou Hansheng summoned the guards, glanced at them, and said calmly, "Those who come here today will register with Zhaonan and Zhaobei. The emperor has ordered that not a single word of what happened today be leaked. When you leave here, it's best to forget about this mission and not mention it to anyone outside. If anyone asks, just say that this prince has requisitioned this place to rest, and that the two elders in the Duke's Mansion have always been at odds with this prince and are deliberately looking for trouble. That's all. Do you understand clearly?"
The guards were filled with awe. They were all palace dwellers, so how could they not know? Since the Crown Prince had given such an order, there must be a reason for it. Furthermore, with the Emperor's decree involved, it was hard to say what exactly had happened.
Of course, the farther away the better.
"Yes, I understand! Please rest assured, Master!"
Zhou Hansheng nodded with satisfaction, "If anyone can't remember, ha!"
The guards nodded and retreated with their heads lowered.
When Zhao Liya got the news, she told her mother and aunt that she was a little tired, and then took Chunfen back to the direction of Lihua Pavilion.
Chunfen didn't pay attention at first, but when he looked up and saw the familiar Pear Blossom Pavilion in front of him, which made his soul fly away and his legs tremble, he was completely overwhelmed! His face turned pale!
"Madam Crown Prince. Then, then—where are we going?"
Zhao Liya held her hand and patted it gently, smiling and saying, "Don't be afraid, relax. We're just going to the Pear Blossom Pavilion. Just pretend there's nothing there, okay? I'm there too, right?"
"But, but. Okay, I, I will remember it." Chunfen had a sad face, her calves were still trembling, and she didn't dare to raise her head.
She was really scared! She had to admire her master's courage!
Zhao Liya didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook her head helplessly, "Relax!"
This girl actually mustered up the courage to go find the prince. It seems that she really tried her best. It's rare.
Chunfen nodded. She wanted to do it, but she couldn't control herself.
Zhao Liya talked to her all the way, comforting her gently. When they slowly walked to the Pear Blossom Pavilion, the girl finally looked more normal.
She supported Zhao Liya, lowered her head slightly, and the master and servant walked into the Pear Blossom Pavilion together.
It's hard to say who is actually supporting whom.
"Aya!"
"Brother Zhou, what's going on?"
Zhou Hansheng embraced Zhao Liya, patted her back gently, and chuckled softly: "It has all been dealt with, it's just a little trouble for you"
