No matter whether Concubine Shu is good or evil, it is imperative to bring her back.
"I trust you to do the job."
After the emperor finished speaking, he signaled for everyone to leave. Those who heard the inner voice hesitated in their hearts whether to remind the emperor.
But they would also find it strange that their father was reminded to be wary of someone they were not familiar with for no reason.
The prince was halfway there when he weighed the pros and cons and decided to turn back and tell the emperor.
He understood too well the weaknesses of people who lacked maternal love. If Concubine Shu returned to the palace and took advantage of his father's weakness to shake Tianqi's rule, the things that Luo'er had avoided in her heart would inevitably reappear.
"Your Highness, do you have anything else to say?"
The guard saw the prince returning and asked respectfully.
"Well, please pass it on."
When the emperor saw the prince come in, he thought he had something important to report.
Before he could speak, he heard the prince say, "Father, I have something important to report."
Feeling the prince's gaze on her, Yu Yiluo blinked her big eyes.
"Report it if you want to. Why are you looking at me? I can't eavesdrop. Even if I did, I can't say anything."
[If I could tell you, I'd tell you that Concubine Shu can't be brought back to the palace. Is it really necessary to be on guard against a baby like me?]
I treat you as my family, but you treat me like a thief. It hurts my heart.
emperor:"……"
The prince: “…”
"Eunuch Cao, send Luo'er to Concubine Xian's palace."
[Damn it, what shameful things are you two plotting? You're even on guard against me. I'm your sweetheart, aren't I...]
Yu Yiluo's voice gradually faded away, and the emperor rubbed his ears.
"Father, I can hear Luo'er's heartfelt words, so I'm relieved..."
The prince was interrupted by the emperor before he could finish his words.
"Can you also hear Luo'er's inner voice?"
The two looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
"Father, can you hear it too?"
In this case, he doesn't have to worry about his father's situation at all. After all, Luo'er spends more time with his father than anyone else.
The emperor nodded, but felt a little uncomfortable.
Luo'er is his little cotton-padded jacket, so there is nothing wrong with what he heard, even though this little cotton-padded jacket is a little leaky.
But how could the prince hear it?
Thinking of this, the emperor raised his eyes and stared at the prince, "Go, call back the second brother and the others."
Since the prince can hear it, can the others hear it as well?
Thinking of the fifth and sixth princesses becoming aware of things, the emperor felt that perhaps more than just the princes could hear it.
He ordered people to summon the fifth and sixth princesses into the palace.
When they reached the palace gate, they boarded the carriage and saw the prince in white clothes coming towards them.
"Third brother, wait a minute."
Several people got off the carriage in confusion and bowed, "Brother Crown Prince, what's the matter?"
"The Emperor has something important to discuss with you. I'm here to call you back."
The few people who returned to the imperial study were placed aside. The emperor sat at the top, without Yu Yiluo in his arms.
For no reason, several people felt that the atmosphere in the imperial study was a little too serious, especially since Luo'er was not there, which made them feel that what they wanted to say was of great importance.
The emperor remained silent for a long time, and no one else dared to speak.
A cup of tea passed in silence. When the Fourth Prince felt he could no longer sit still, he heard someone report that the Fifth and Sixth Princesses had arrived.
"Send someone in."
The Sixth Princess entered the imperial study in a happy mood. When she saw her brothers sitting in a row, she put away the smile on her face.
When her father summoned her to the palace, she thought that he had changed his mind and released her, but now it seems that is not the case.
"Greetings, Father."
"Everyone is here," the emperor straightened up and glanced at them, "I asked you to come because of Luo'er."
Luo'er? Several people looked puzzled.
What's wrong with Luo'er? It's scary to see your father being so serious.
"Can you all hear Luo'er's voice?"
As soon as the emperor said this, the imperial study became quiet instantly. Everyone looked at each other with their eyes wide open.
Everyone thinks they are unique, but it turns out everyone can hear it.
Especially the Second Prince and the Sixth Princess. They remembered that they had tried to match the Third Prince and Mu Xue before. Now that they thought about it, since everyone could hear it, wouldn’t their actions seem redundant?
The Fourth Prince's first reaction was shock, followed by an uncomfortable look.
Luo'er often makes up stories about him in her mind, and the other royal brothers must have heard them. It's so embarrassing.
"Can the Emperor and the Crown Prince hear it too?"
The third prince came to his senses and understood why Luo'er was not there.
"That's right," the emperor made sure that everyone could hear it, and he felt even more upset.
"Father, since we can all hear it, then Empress Xian is Luo'er's mother, right?"
The emperor had also thought about this question and immediately called out, "Come here."
Eunuch Cao, who was outside the imperial study, walked in bowing.
"Go and ask Concubine Xian to come over. No need to bring the little princess."
Empress Xian had just put Yu Yiluo on the bed and was planning to sleep with her for a while when she saw Eunuch Cao come in.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor invites you to the Imperial Study."
For fear of disturbing Yu Yiluo, Eunuch Cao lowered his voice.
Empress Xian ordered Nanny Zhang and Hua Rui to keep an eye on Yu Yiluo, and she left Zuihua Palace with Eunuch Cao and went to the imperial study.
When she entered the room and saw the prince and princess were all there, Empress Xian almost thought she had come to the wrong place.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
The Emperor offered Concubine Xian a seat and said straight to the point, "We can all hear Luo'er's heartfelt words, and you, Concubine Xian, can hear them too."
Empress Xian's beautiful eyes were slightly startled. She thought Luo'er was her own daughter, and since mother and daughter were connected, it was not surprising that she could hear Luo'er's thoughts. But the Emperor said that they could all hear it?
Then the emperor must have known everything clearly about Luo'er's plot against him before.
"Your Majesty, Luo'er is just a child. I don't know why this happened to me. Please don't execute Luo'er."
Upon hearing this, several people stood up and knelt on the ground, "Father, please don't execute Luo'er."
They finally had such a special sister. If it weren’t for Luo’er, how could they have changed their fate?
Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, the emperor snorted coldly.
"Who said I was going to execute Luo'er?"
The little cotton-padded jacket was a little leaky, but he wouldn't be so cruel as to kill her, and he wasn't stupid.
If it weren't for Luo'er, he probably wouldn't be sitting here now.
"Everyone, get up."
The emperor was both angry and relieved. He was angry that some people actually thought he would execute Luo'er, but he was relieved that some people knew how to protect Luo'er.
She was not jealous of him because he doted on Luo'er.
"No one is allowed to spread this matter about Luo'er. If anyone leaks the news and puts Luo'er in the spotlight, no matter who it is, I will break his legs."
The emperor's gaze fell on the Fourth Prince after he finished speaking, "Especially the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince, drink less."
The Sixth Princess shrank her neck. No wonder her father asked her to copy such a thick Buddhist scripture. She was not wronged at all. If she told what she heard about Luo'er after drinking, wouldn't it cause trouble for Luo'er?
"Don't even tell Luo'er. If she knows, she won't say anything more."
Luo'er is so clever that she can't figure out the clues.
