Chapter 136 I want yellow, I like yellow

The expression on the emperor's face was a little hard to describe.

Don’t mind…still…oh!

The emperor held his forehead helplessly.

"This case has been transferred to the Dali Temple, with the Shengjing Prefecture Governor assisting in the investigation. We must uncover the true culprit as quickly as possible."

Lu Mingfeng and Wen Yi both accepted the order, "Your humble servants obey the order."

Right at this moment.

Xu Mubai, who had always had little presence, clasped his hands in front of his chest and bowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, just as I was coming up with the princess, I happened to run into the Grand Secretary, Shen Qiu Nian. Lord Shen, the woman who went with him to Zui Xiang Lou happened to be wearing a white hood. They greeted the princess and were about to leave when the poisoning incident occurred. I wonder if Lord Shen saw this woman leave with his own eyes?"

Xu Mubai's unhurried words were like a thunderclap, instantly igniting the entire private room.

Everyone's eyes turned to Shen Qiu Nian the moment Xu Mubai's voice fell.

Shen Qiu Nian frowned, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the one who came to Zui Xiang Lou with me today was Lin Miaomiao."

When Shen Qiunian said the three words Lin Miaomiao.

The emperor's face changed, and he spat out a word between his teeth, "Catch."

"Your Majesty." Shen Qiu Nian's tone was obviously higher than before.

The emperor didn't ask any questions and wanted to arrest people based on the shopkeeper's words.

It's obvious that they would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go.

Chen Qiu Nian kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, Miao Miao was dragged into prostitution by her family and had no choice. Miao Miao has been well-read since childhood and would never do such a thing as poisoning the eldest princess."

"No?" Xu Mubai sneered, "How can Lord Shen guarantee the character of a prostitute? I heard that Lord Shen is determined to marry that prostitute. I don't think she is unaware of the past between the Princess and Lord Shen. Her motive is obvious!"

"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak nonsense in front of the emperor!"

Chen Qiunian's eyes turned cold, and a piece of orange peel hit his forehead.

Su Yunyao's eyes showed a coldness, but she smiled: "Who do you think you are?"

Shen Qiu Nian clenched his hands into fists at his sides. He gritted his teeth, trying to sound as calm as possible. "Your Majesty, Lu Siqing is the eldest princess's lover. Marble punishment is extremely cruel. Under such severe punishment, there will inevitably be many wrongful convictions. How could this case be transferred to marble before the trial even begins?"

Lu Mingfeng moved his lips but before he could speak, Wen Yi, who had been arguing with him, spoke first.

"Lord Shen, be careful with your words. Whether it's marble or Shengjing Prefecture, punishment is only used on the guilty. Lord Shen is worrying too much. If Miss Lin is innocent, no matter what punishment she faces, she will not be punished. Could it be that Lord Shen himself also feels that Miss Lin is inextricably linked to this matter?"

Shen Qiunian's face cleared up for a moment.

Lu Mingfeng sneered in his heart, "What Shopkeeper Xu said just now is very true. I wonder if Lord Shen was able to leave Zui Xiang Lou with Miss Lin, or if he saw Miss Lin leave with his own eyes?"

Shen Qiu Nian was speechless for a moment, and his fists clenched tighter at his sides.

Even at this moment, the emperor's eyes fell on him.

Chen Qiu Nian pursed his lips deeply, "No, I just came out of the private room, and the servants in the palace came to look for me, saying that the emperor had given me a verbal order to enter the palace, so I left first."

Lu Mingfeng, Wen Yi, Huo Xiao, and Xu Mubai all sneered in unison, "Ha!"

Pearl looked at the four people, stunned.

It is understandable that Lu Mingfeng, Huo Xiao and Xu Mubai were disdainful when they heard that Lord Shen was defending Miss Lin.

After all, these three adults are the eldest princess's men.

What’s going on with this Shengjing prefect?

According to his official position, he is a low-ranking official.

He actually dared to openly challenge the first-rank minister in the court so blatantly.

Doesn’t he want his official hat anymore?

The emperor stood up upon hearing this and said, "Now that we have a clue, I hope you two can give me a satisfactory answer within one day!"

"Your humble servant obeys your command!" Lu Mingfeng and Wen Yi saluted in unison.

The emperor then lowered his eyes and said softly, "My dear sister, please don't stay here any longer. I will send you back home."

After a pause, he continued, "If all else fails, my sister should move to the palace. If you need anything, just let the Imperial Kitchen tell you. When the news reached the palace just now, I was terrified. It would be better for her to stay by my side. I feel more at ease."

Lu Mingfeng, Huo Xiao, and Xu Mubai all looked towards the eldest princess.

Moved to the palace...

Then it will not be so easy for them to meet the eldest princess in the future.

After all, the harem is not a place where ministers can enter and leave at will.

Especially Huo Xiao, who had just moved into the princess's mansion, looked even uglier than the other two.

Looking at the frightened and aggrieved expressions of the three people, Su Yunyao curled the corners of her lips.

"Royal brother, today was just an accident, and this happened in Zuixianglou, not in the Princess's Mansion. What does this have to do with where I live? Besides, if I moved into the palace, would the Imperial Household Department also hang a green nameplate for me so I could sleep with them every day? No, green is not good. I want yellow. I like yellow!"

The emperor coughed lightly and said, "Royal sister, your health is important. You need to exercise restraint in this matter."

After saying this, his eyes swept across the faces of the three people.

"Since my sister doesn't want to live in the palace, I think you've had a very bad time lately. Tomorrow morning, I will accompany you to the Huguo Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. I will ask Master Wuyu to chant sutras for my sister to dispel the bad luck."

"Early in the morning?" Su Yunyao waved her hands repeatedly. "No, no, absolutely not early in the morning. I've invited Emperor Huo Xiao to sleep with me tonight. I absolutely can't get up early in the morning. How about the afternoon? The afternoon is good. The afternoon is auspicious for me!"

emperor:……

He was speechless and choked. "Royal sister, burning incense is always done in the morning, how can there be afternoon?"

"Ah?" Su Yunyao pretended not to understand. "Royal brother, when it comes to burning incense and worshiping Buddha, isn't it most important to be sincere? Since you have to be sincere, you must stay in the Buddhist temple for a night. Only by staying overnight can you receive more of the Buddha's blessing." Su Yunyao looked serious.

The emperor was a little unsure about what she said, "Is there such a saying?"

"Yes!" Su Yunyao said confidently, "That's what it says in the sketchbook!"

Sketchbook?!

When the emperor heard these three words, he felt like he was struck by lightning!

He almost doubted himself just now.

After all, he was thinking too much.

"Emperor, tell me the truth. Was the decision to go to Huguo Temple to burn incense and pray really made just now because someone poisoned me?"

An unnatural look flashed across the emperor's eyes. "That's natural."

"Really?" Su Yunyao persisted, looking at him without missing a beat.

"Royal sister..."
