Chapter 55: Asking for the title of County Lady for Her
The Silver Dragon Guards released the miners and sent them home overnight. They also captured several small leaders and the county magistrate and escorted them back to Beijing.
Xiu Ming and Ying Shi left the old lady's son in the care of a neighbor.
Before leaving, he left him several dozen taels of silver, which was enough for him to see a doctor and get medicine during this period.
Deng Youning, who had not returned home for two days and two nights, was sent back home by Li Tianzhuo.
But this time, she didn't dare to go through the front door.
Let Li Tianzhuo stop at a random place while he and Ying Shi climb over the wall and go in.
Their every move in this mansion could not escape Han Qiongyue's discerning eyes.
Just as he reached the entrance of Qiuyue Water Pavilion, he was stopped by Nanny Dou.
Fu Shou Tang.
"You've been out for so long, and you didn't even let anyone come back to tell grandma. Do you know how worried grandma is about you?"
Han Qiongyue's anger made Deng Youning's eardrums hurt.
She quickly put on a smile and said, "Grandma, don't be angry. Your granddaughter did a great thing on this trip!"
As she picked and chose, she explained the matter of the mine to Han Qiongyue.
When Han Qiongyue heard that someone was mining illegally, her expression suddenly turned gloomy.
This year, there are so many things to do!
However, Deng Youning did not tell Han Qiongyue about the fact that Gu had an affair and gave birth to Deng Yi.
She has her own plans for this matter.
Besides, Han Qiongyue was already so angry about Deng Zheng killing her brother that she became sick. She couldn't add fuel to the fire, as that would surely cost her grandmother's life!
"The sixth day of next month is the emperor's birthday. Our family is a noble mansion, so of course we have to attend the banquet with the whole family."
"In the next few days, you should stay at home and learn the palace rules. If you offend any nobles one day, you will suffer the consequences!"
Han Qiongyue's words sounded quite harsh, but in fact they were all about her concern for Deng Youning.
She knew very well that Ningning didn't want to join in the fun according to her personality.
But I don’t know how the Queen Mother knew that there was such an “unusual” girl like her in the capital, and she had to take a look at her.
When Han Qiongyue was young, she and the empress dowager were close friends.
What's more, the Han family is related to the royal family by marriage.
She had no choice but to accept the invitation.
"I understand, Grandma."
"My granddaughter is not someone who likes to cause trouble. As long as others don't provoke me, I will naturally not break the rules."
From what she said, I knew that she is the kind of person who won't tolerate any loss!
Han Qiongyue had a headache and was really afraid that something would happen that day!

Imperial Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation.
As soon as Li Tianzhuo came back, he went straight to the palace to meet the emperor and report the matter of the mine.
As you can imagine, the emperor was in a bad mood.
The person behind this is so bold as to dare to do something right under his nose!
"Tian Zhuo, check for me!"
"I must chop off their heads!"
When Emperor Dongji said this, he almost gritted his teeth.
"I obey your orders."
"I wonder what to do with the mine now?"
The emperor thought about it and decided that since those who wanted to rebel could dig out gold, he had to continue digging.
"You don't need to worry about this matter anymore. I will hand it over to someone else."
"You, the Silver Dragon Guard, are mainly responsible for finding the people behind the rebellion and executing them for me."
Since the emperor said so, Li Tianzhuo could only accept the order.
The emperor was a little curious. "By the way, why did you go to the outskirts of Beijing these two days? Did you go for an outing?"
Li Tianzhuo shook his head and told the truth about Deng Youning.
"She is the second daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. She went to Niujia Village for an outing and happened to meet the magistrate of Mei County who was conscripting men. She then sent someone to report this to me."
"The second young lady also made a lot of efforts in this siege. Her martial arts skills are extremely high, and she is no less than the best fighters in the Silver Dragon Guards."
"She was the one who broke the Thousand Machine Formation outside the mine."
When it comes to praising Deng Youning, Li Tianzhuo is not at all stingy!
The emperor nodded meaningfully.
"Invite her to the palace someday, and I will reward her handsomely!"
Even the emperor had heard of the reputation of the second daughter of the Deng family.
He was also very curious about what a woman who could be described as a vicious and vicious woman looked like.
"I, your humble servant, dare to ask Your Majesty to grant her the title of County Lady."
Li Tianzhuo made a bold suggestion.
"County lady?"
The emperor raised his eyes slightly and asked back.
Logically speaking, it is not an exaggeration for the daughter of a duke to be conferred the title of county princess even if she has no achievements.
But this matter should not be asked by Li Tianzhuo!
The emperor narrowed his eyes and glanced at Li Tianzhuo.
He knew that his precious sword, which was pure from the mundane world, had also been tainted by the red dust.
"Your suggestion is good. I will give her the title of Princess."
With a slight smile on his lips, the emperor looked no different from an amiable elder.
"Eunuch Fu, go and draft the decree."
The old eunuch on the side bowed and retreated.
Li Tianzhuo also planned to resign and leave.
As he left, the emperor smiled with concern and said:
"Tian Zhuo, your grandmother has been talking about you a lot recently, saying that you are more filial than all her grandchildren."
"I know you are busy with the Silver Dragon Guard, but don't forget to visit her often!"
"Also, come and have meals with me, your uncle, often!"
Hearing the emperor's words, Li Tianzhuo felt a little uneasy, but he still kept a playful and hearty smile on his face.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will go to visit my grandmother right now."
As he bowed, he grinned at the emperor with a bit of silliness.
The emperor also gave him a kind smile in relief.
Although the two were the king and his subject, they really looked like uncle and nephew from an ordinary family.
It was precisely because Li Tianzhuo had no blood relationship with the royal family and was not involved in the fight for the throne that he could treat Li Tianzhuo as his own younger generation without any scruples.
Compared to those biological sons who are always doing trouble behind the scenes, Li Tianzhuo is so cute!
Li Tianzhuo, a wild child with no background, was lucky. Five years ago, he almost lost his life while trying to save the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was grateful for his life-saving grace and liked him very much. She adopted him as her godson and kept him in the palace.
Then, as a son, he had to make good use of this ready-made and easy-to-use knife!
The Silver Dragon Guards, ostensibly the emperor's personal guards.
In fact, everyone knows that this is the emperor's best knife, which is used in the dark to do shady things for him.
The supreme leader of the Silver Dragon Guard must also be the person the emperor trusts the most.
Li Tianzhuo, a beggar with no father, no mother, no power, and even no relatives, is his best candidate.
After leaving the Yangxin Palace, Li Tianzhuo walked alone in the palace.
Li Tianzhuo was always heavy-hearted every time he walked along the road from the Palace of Tranquil Longevity to the Palace of Eternal Longevity.
After being deserted by his friends and family and forced to leave his hometown, Queen Dowager Dongji was the only person who gave him the family love he had always dreamed of.
She really treated herself as her grandson.
But when I first approached her, it was only because I knew her identity in advance and wanted to use her.
He really didn't dare let Deng Youning know such a dirty and filthy self.
Seeing Li Tianzhuo coming, the maids in Yongshou Palace were very excited.
Whenever this god comes, the Queen Mother is happy.
Once the Queen Mother is happy, life will be better for all of them!
"Grandson pays respects to his godmother."
"Wow, no wonder people always say that beauty has nothing to do with age. I haven't seen grandma for a few days and she seems even younger!"
"My grandmother is so beautiful, it will be hard for my grandson to find a wife in the future."
"If I can't start a family, I'll just have to stay with my grandmother forever~"
The commander, Lord Li, who was gloomy and murderous a second ago, suddenly turned into a naughty and lively little sun after stepping into the Yongshou Palace.
Look, this little sweet girl has a few more wrinkles on her face after laughing so much.
"You, just amuse me!"
The Queen Mother touched Li Tianzhuo's brow lovingly.
In order to allow her to have it, Li Tianzhuo squatted at her feet and sat on her lap.
"Grandmother, how could you not know that you have been very close to the second girl that the Deng family brought back recently!"
"Don't you need grandma to arrange a marriage for you?"
The Queen Mother is worthy of being the Queen Mother. She can see all of Li Tianzhuo’s worries at a glance.
The feeling of having his secrets exposed made Li Tianzhuo blush instantly.
"Grandma, even if your grandson is affectionate, the girl must also be interested in you."
"Don't you always say that fate can't be forced?"
