Chapter 512 Husband, it seems we've all misunderstood.

Today's little emperor is extraordinary.

Xiao Tang was also puzzled. "Husband, the Emperor has been so well-behaved lately, I'm not used to it."

Di Jingling gave a soft "hmm".

His gaze fell on the young emperor behind the beaded curtain, his eyes sharp as a hawk's.

The little figure, who had been pretending to be calm, was now trembling violently as it sat on it.

Di Jingling's gaze was truly terrifying.

Just standing at a distance, he exudes an imposing aura.

This reaction made Di Jingling frown, and he immediately strode forward.

Part the beaded curtain.

Xiao Tang followed.

Upon closer inspection, the little emperor was still covering his face, cowering there like a little ostrich.

"What's wrong with the Emperor's face?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty's Aunt, Your Majesty's Uncle, I... I bumped my face today and I can't show my face to anyone."

The little guy's eyes darted furtively over the two of them.

This only made him seem more guilty.

A cold laugh came from the vast imperial study.

He strode over, grabbed the cloth, and forcibly ripped it off the child's face.

The child was thrown off the chair by the man's force and ended up kneeling on the ground.

"Please, Regent, spare my life!"

“Look up and take a look.” Xiao Tang slowly walked to Di Jingling’s side.

Sure enough, I saw the child timidly look up, and it was a familiar face.

This is Xiazi, who serves the emperor and carries the copper bell.

The young eunuch served the young emperor closely, and they had a very good relationship.

I never expected that Xia Xia would dare to do something so risky.

The little guy trembled like a leaf, kowtowing repeatedly towards Di Jingling, begging for mercy, "Regent, spare me! Regent, spare me! This is what the Emperor ordered! The Emperor also left you an imperial edict to abdicate the throne."

Sure enough, this is the kind of absurd thing that the young emperor would do.

Xiao Tang was not surprised at all.

[I was wondering why the little emperor had been so well-behaved lately; it was truly unusual.]

[Now it turns out, it was all a smokescreen.]

"Where is he?" Di Jingling ignored the little eunuch's explanation.

As for the imperial edict of abdication?

To men, it's simply a joke.

What a joke.

Xiazi swallowed hard. "Your Highness, the Emperor left early this morning dressed in plain clothes, pretending to be a servant, and accompanied the marriage procession."

At this hour, they must have traveled quite a distance.

The young emperor didn't learn his lesson from his last escape, and this time he went straight to Dongyuan Kingdom. He's got some nerve.

"Someone come here."

Di Jingling's low shout.

The chief eunuch outside the door had already heard the commotion and was so frightened that he wet himself.

At the Regent's command, the chief eunuch, his old legs trembling, walked unsteadily into the Imperial Study.

"Your Highness..."

“Drag him away and lock him up. If the Emperor cannot find him in a day, he will remain locked up.”

The chief eunuch cupped his hands and said, "Yes, this servant will take care of it immediately."

He grabbed Xiaxiazi and led her away, glaring at him fiercely.

Watching the chief eunuch drag the person away, Xiao Tang looked at her husband, "Husband, what should we do? Leave him outside?"

"Do you think the Emperor would think of such detailed matters?"

"You mean, you were instigated by someone?"

Xiao Tang pouted.

It must be that imperial advisor.

"How strange. Si Shi is also one of the Empress Dowager's men. Why would he want to get rid of the young emperor? Shouldn't he be comforting him and helping him to fulfill his duties as emperor?"

The more she thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed.

The man approached the imperial desk and glanced at the messy things on it.

Then, he picked up a piece of paper.

Out of curiosity, Xiao Tang leaned closer and saw that it was a map of the entire Great Sheng Kingdom, with various tracks drawn on it.

Was this an escape route planned in advance?

Without a doubt, this route was arranged by the Imperial Advisor.

"Yan Shi." The man gripped the map.

Yan Shi responded.

"Go to the Imperial Preceptor's residence and bring the Imperial Preceptor here."

Yan Shi accepted the order and left.

Xiao Tang pinched her chin.

"Why don't we send someone to Yang Dejiang's residence and capture him as well?"

She thought, since Yang De respects his master so much, he must have played a part in this matter.

Such a great opportunity.

Yang Dejiang had no choice but to make a name for himself.

Emperor Jingling gave another order.

then……

Not long after, Yang Dejiang and Si Shi were brought over.

It's also thanks to the fact that these two didn't run away out of guilt.

At this moment, Di Jingling, sitting in the superior position, coldly swept his gaze across Yang Dejiang below.

Yang De lowered his head, looking quite helpless: "Reporting to the Regent, this matter truly has nothing to do with me."

"It's none of your business. Why were you packing your bags when we went to your residence?"

Yan Jiu spoke sharply, "Isn't it because you feel guilty?"

The Grand Preceptor, who had remained silent on one side, glanced at his disciple without making a sound.

The apprentice is a bit silly; no one can guarantee he won't suddenly say something nonsensical.

The atmosphere is a bit off.

Yang Dejiang was indeed not very bright, so much so that he didn't understand his master's gaze.

He could only helplessly explain to Yan Jiu, "I thought this capital city was so boring, so I planned to travel far away early."

"Oh? I see. Since you're going on a long trip, why didn't you bring your master with you?"

Xiao Tang asked with a smile.

I observed the expression on the stone out of the corner of my eye.

He remained quite calm.

He remained unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.

Even though the situation was so dire, he didn't even blink.

He met Xiao Tang's gaze frankly: "Does Your Highness suspect me of what I did?"

"Of course! If you didn't do it, then who did?"
