In the imperial study.
Eunuch Cao walked in quietly and whispered beside the emperor, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Justice, Lord Du, requests an audience."
The emperor just nodded lightly and asked him to bring the person in.
Lord Du followed Eunuch Cao in and saluted in a loud voice, but the emperor did not ask him to stand up for a long time.
He was confused, wondering if it was because he had been on leave for too long and the emperor was unhappy.
What should he do? His granddaughter has not been found yet, and he came to the emperor to ask for further leave.
I don’t know who offended the emperor and made him so unlucky to encounter this.
"Get up!"
The emperor looked at Yu Yiluo who woke up by rubbing her eyes, and then asked Lord Du to get up.
Eunuch Cao glanced at Lord Du.
The little princess finally fell asleep, but was woken up by Lord Du's shout.
[Oh, it's this foolish old man who was sold but still helped others count the money. He is usually quite smart in handling cases, but he was actually deceived by Du Lin, an ungrateful person.]
Yu Yiluo yawned.
[I really can't use my brain too much. I'm so sleepy. Fengyue Tower isn't that easy to get to. I wonder if Second Brother and the others have figured out Yanran's identity.]
Fengyue Tower?
The emperor's face turned black. It seemed that the second son was also itching for trouble. It would have been fine if he had gone by himself, but he actually took Luo'er to Fengyue Tower. It was simply enough to make him angry to death.
[Is this silly old man asking Tyrant for leave again? His granddaughter is right before his eyes, but he can't find her. Tsk tsk, Du Lin has him fooled around.]
"Your Majesty," seeing that the emperor's face was getting worse and worse, Lord Du spoke cautiously, "I would like to take another two days off."
The emperor glanced at him calmly and asked, "Why are you asking for leave?"
Wasn’t it just a few days ago that we filed the lawsuit?
[Of course I'm looking for someone, hehe, looking for your second daughter-in-law.]
emperor:"……"
He had forgotten that the Shen family and the Du family were in-laws.
But now that Yang Wen is in the Dali Temple, it’s not a big deal. By the way, we can also see Yang Wen’s ability to do things.
"This..." Lord Du hesitated. His granddaughter had been missing for a year, and he had been having people look for her secretly without alerting anyone else.
On the one hand, he was worried that this matter would get out, and even if his granddaughter was found, his reputation would be damaged.
But now that the emperor has asked, wouldn’t it be deceiving the emperor if I don’t answer truthfully?
"Alright," the emperor interrupted him, noticing his hesitation, "get busy!"
…
As soon as Lord Du left, the emperor ordered Eunuch Cao to call the second prince over.
[Why did the tyrant call the Second Prince over? Did he know that the Second Prince had gone to Fengyue Tower?]
"Where's your wife? Isn't it normal to go? You went when you were younger, but now you're not able to because you want to. And now you're not allowing others to go. Too much."
The emperor glanced at the palace servant beside him and ordered with a sullen face, "You, come here and fan me."
[It's so hot before summer even starts? Maybe I'm getting a sore throat.]
emperor:"……"
The palace maid stepped forward tremblingly to fan the emperor, praying in her heart that Eunuch Cao would come back soon.
I just breathed and did nothing else, so why was the emperor unhappy?
I thought the emperor's temper was getting better, but it seems that eunuch Cao's patience is getting better.
As if hearing his prayer, Eunuch Cao brought the second prince in.
"Your son greets His Majesty."
The second prince lowered his head, still thinking about Yanran's life experience.
"All of you, please leave!" The emperor waved the others away and then looked at the second prince. "Where have you been today?"
Where are you going?
The Second Prince raised his head and said calmly, "I went to Fengyue Tower."
Since my father asked, he must know something.
[Oh my foolish brother, why did you confess? The tyrant doesn't even know.]
emperor:"……"
He already knew it, okay.
"Did you take Luo'er with you?" the emperor asked again.
Remembering that it was indeed because of him that the few people went there, the second prince admitted it.
"Yes, I was confused for a moment, and I will accept your punishment."
[Why not punish the Fourth Prince? The Fourth Prince is very resistant to beatings, and the Second Prince still has to help Yanran find the antidote at the Chen Mansion. If he gets hurt, he won't be able to move.]
[No, my fourth brother gave me a red envelope during the New Year, and he seems quite innocent.]
[Third brother? No, that won't work. Third brother is just being kind to take me out.]
emperor:"……"
He just wanted to hear some interesting things about the Shen Mansion, why didn't Luo'er say anything.
But it is really not a good idea to take Luo'er to Fengyue Tower, in case Luo'er is deceived by someone in the future.
The second child still needs to be beaten, but it’s better to beat him gently.
"Come here, drag the Second Prince out and give him five spankings."
The second prince was taken out and sent back to his residence after being beaten.
The Fourth Prince was packing his things. When he saw the Second Prince being helped in, he quickly put down the things in his hands, stood up and walked around the Second Prince.
"Hahaha, Second Brother, how come you got beaten too?"
As he spoke, he called the Third Prince, "Third brother, come and see, Second brother was beaten by father, hahahaha."
The second prince glared at him and signaled the palace servant to help him to the chair.
If I had known this earlier, I would have said that it was the fourth brother who took Luoer there.
The Third Prince came out, asked the palace servants to leave, and then looked at the Second Prince, "Second Brother, what happened?"
"I don't know who told Father that we went to Fengyue Tower and brought Luo'er with us, but we got beaten up."
The Fourth Prince stopped smiling and asked curiously, "How many times did you get spanked?"
The second prince sat down on the chair and took a deep breath.
"Five boards."
"Only five strokes?" The Fourth Prince exclaimed in surprise. "Looking at you like that, I'd have thought you'd been beaten with twenty lashes. You're not resistant at all."
The Third Prince also nodded, "He's definitely not as tough as the Fourth Brother."
"You two are still making fun of me," the Second Prince said, sitting sideways, feeling particularly uncomfortable. "If I hadn't taken this matter upon myself, do you think you could have gotten away with it?"
The Fourth Prince thought about it and it made sense, but he felt something was not right.
"You were the one who asked us to go, why are you blaming us?"
He was almost fooled and asked what was wrong.
"Oh, you've learned your lesson." The third prince glanced at him sideways.
Then he said to the Second Prince, "What about Miss Yanran's matter?"
"What can we do?" The Fourth Prince glanced at the restless Second Prince and pointed at the bed with a smile, "I think you should lie down and recuperate for a few days. I have experience with this. You can't sit still anyway."
at the same time.
The more Prince Yueqing thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
It was not surprising that the Second Prince came to Fengyue Tower, but it was a bit strange that the other party asked him not to tell the Emperor, and had to choose to do so when he went to knock on Yanran's door.
This is worth pondering.
What's more, Yanran didn't want to see him and didn't accept guests.
This indicates that someone has taken her as a supporter.
The answer in my heart is about to come out.
The relationship between the Second Prince and Yanran is definitely not simple. Prince Yueqing stood up.
"Prepare the carriage and go to Fengyue Tower."
Let him personally help the Second Prince uncover his identity. It would be interesting to see Yanran’s expression when she knows the Second Prince’s identity!
