Xiao Ruoyi waved her hand, "Brother Tan, go home quickly! Don't worry, Yiyi will be fine!"
Tan Xiaofeng glanced at the awe-inspiring An Yi and swallowed his saliva in horror. Knowing that no one could hurt Yi Yi, he left with peace of mind.
"Then we'll see each other again, sister Yiyi!"
Xiao Ruoyi waved at Tan Xiaofeng and continued to watch Duke Lu being handcuffed and chained by the Imperial Guards.
"take away!"
Originally, there was no evidence, and Emperor Donglin had to imprison Duke Lu in Duke Lu's mansion because of Duke Lu's status. But now with Xia Huai's letter and token, he can lock him up openly.
Even if Duke Lu's forces wanted to take action, there was nothing they could do.
Looking at the chains on his hands, Duke Lu realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately screamed in anger and fear.
"Let me go, I'm being wronged! This night pearl is not mine! Xia Huai and I have nothing to do with each other!"
Commander Jin sneered and said sarcastically, "Haha, Duke Lu, Xia Huai's letter said that in order to make Concubine Shu gain the emperor's favor, you even conspired with Xia Huai to frame Concubine Liang!"
...
...
Duke Lu widened his eyes in shock, a look of disbelief on his face, and his brain froze for a moment.
What did Commander Jin say? Why did he say that he and Xia Huai were working together to deal with Concubine Liang?
Obviously, it was their own people who took action against Concubine Liang back then, so how is it related to Xia Huai?
This was naturally what Emperor Donglin revealed to Commander Jin on purpose, so that he could tell Duke Lu at that time that Duke Lu must make a choice on this matter.
Although Duke Lu may not react for a while now, he will think it through immediately once things calm down.
In the end, it depends on whether Duke Lu and Concubine Shu will choose to admit to treason or to frame Concubine Liang.
Xiao Ruoyi tilted her head, "Has Commander Jin read the letter written by Xia Huai?"
An Yi shook his head. "No, the emperor just dictated the contents of Xia Huai's letter and asked Commander Jin to pay more attention to the Night Pearl. This is the evidence of the cooperation between the two parties!"
"Is that so?" Xiao Ruoyi nodded in sudden realization, laughing smugly, "How miserable!"
An Yi and An San also smiled knowingly, "Yes!"
However, it is also a blessing for Duke Lu to be calculated by such a smart and lovely little princess!
If Duke Lu, who was plotted against, knew about this, he would definitely say that he did not want this blessing!
Commander Jin waved his hand, "Arrest Duke Lu and send him to the Dali Temple for detention! The rest of you will continue to be confined to Duke Lu's mansion and are not allowed to enter or leave!"
Because of concerns that Duke Lu's daughter is Consort Shu and his grandson is the Third Prince, the Imperial Guards received an order from Emperor Donglin to only arrest Duke Lu. All others were temporarily confined in the Duke's Mansion, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
This should be the most merciful approach for Duke Lu and others.
Looking at the chains on his hands, Duke Lu had no time to think about anything else and immediately shouted in panic, "No, you can't arrest me! I am Concubine Shu's father! I am the Third Prince's grandfather! I didn't collaborate with the enemy or betray my country! You are wrongly accusing me! I am not guilty! Let me go! Let me go! I am not guilty!"
"You can't get away with it just by saying that! Wait for the Emperor's judgment!"
This was the first time that Mrs. Lu encountered such a situation. She grabbed Duke Lu's clothes in panic, "Master! Master!"
Duke Lu immediately shouted to Madam Lu for help, "Madam, save me, go to the palace immediately to inform my daughter and tell her to save me!"
Commander Jin sneered, "Duke Lu, the entire Duke's Mansion is full of imperial guards. No one is allowed to enter or leave. You can't ask for help from Concubine Shu and the Third Prince for the time being!"
Duke Lu glared at Commander Jin with anger and hatred. If looks could kill, Commander Jin would have been riddled with holes long ago.
Being able to take the position of the commander of the Imperial Guard, Commander Jin was naturally not afraid of Duke Lu's gaze. He laughed sarcastically, "Duke Lu, don't look at me like that. All this is the will of the Emperor. I am just following his orders!"
"You!" Duke Lu was so angry that his eyes widened and he gasped for breath, trying hard not to faint, but he was helpless.
Looking at Duke Lu who was so angry that he rolled his eyes, Xiao Ruoyi liked the way Commander Jin used chicken feathers as a token of authority.
"This commander is not bad!" Xiao Ruoyi nodded and turned to look at An Yi, "What's his last name?"
An Yi replied respectfully, "My surname is Jin! My name is Jin Meng!"
Xiao Ruoyi touched her chin and nodded, "Oh, it turned out to be him!"
This guy was also a loyal emperor. When the country was destroyed, he died in battle to protect his cheap father! What a pity!
"Does the little princess know him?"
Xiao Ruoyi immediately shook her head, "I don't know him, I'm just expressing my feelings!"
An Yi and An San, "..." They thought he was the one who bullied the little princess, so they could complain to the emperor.
(Commander Jin, who escaped the disaster, said, "Haha, thank you so much!")
Duke Lu was taken away. Xiao Ruoyi stood up and brushed the dust off her little butt.
An Yi lowered his head and asked Xiao Ruoyi with concern, "Little Princess, are you going back?"
Xiao Ruoyi's mouth curled up into a brilliant smile, "Let's go back! Tell mother what happened here!"
The good show had come to an end. Seeing Duke Lu being dragged out like a dead dog, Xiao Ruoyi felt so happy that she wanted to go back to the palace to find Concubine Liang and tell her what had happened here vividly.
I believe Concubine Liang will be very happy when she hears what happened in Duke Lu’s family!
Don’t miss out on such good gossip!
Duke Lu was personally sent to the Dali Temple by Commander Jin, who then sent someone to the palace to report quickly and present the evidence to Emperor Donglin.
Emperor Donglin immediately arranged for his people to inform Concubine Shu and let her know what happened in Duke Lu's Mansion.
"My Lady, something bad has happened, something bad has happened!"
"What happened?"
"Mom... Ouch!"
The young eunuch ran into the hall in a hurry, but was accidentally tripped by the threshold. He rushed forward and rolled several times before stopping.
The Concubine Shu was not at all pleased that the eunuch had interrupted her listening to the news by falling down, "Hurry up and tell me what happened!"
The young eunuch climbed up and knelt on the ground, "Madam, Duke Lu has been arrested and sent to the Dali Temple!"
Concubine Shu was immediately shocked and asked angrily, "What? Wasn't he just imprisoned at home? Why was he arrested?"
"I heard that the Imperial Guards suddenly surrounded the Duke's Mansion and found evidence of treason in the Duke's Mansion's study. Now he has been arrested!"
"How is this possible?" Concubine Shu felt her body go limp and she subconsciously stepped back, falling onto the chair with a look of disbelief on her face.
Concubine Shu couldn't understand why her father would collaborate with the enemy and sell out the country.
