Chapter 119 A straight intestine leads to a big brain
Han Yanning had no evidence. Even the news of the fire in Han Yizhi's house was something she overheard when she passed by Anle Hou's study.
"This..." She hesitated and couldn't say anything for a long time.
The emperor's face became more and more impatient.
[As expected of brother and sister, they are both stubborn. ]
[They didn't prepare anything, and their straight intestines lead to big brains! ]
Han Yanning saw that his face was terribly gloomy, her eyes turned, and two lines of tears fell.
"Your Majesty, I was also angry at the moment. My brother lost his life, and even a person..."
"Enough!"
The emperor shouted angrily, scaring Han Yanning.
"What do you think this place is!" His eyes were cold and ruthless, falling on Han Yanning, with a domineering look, which made Han Yanning shudder.
"If it weren't for the fact that Anle Hou had previously expanded the territory, I would have sentenced you to death for breaking into the study today!"
Han Yanning trembled and kept begging for mercy on the ground.
Although she gave birth to two sons, her figure was plump, which made her more attractive than a girl. In addition, she took good care of herself, and her almond eyes were slightly red from crying, and she looked delicate. As the emperor looked at her, there was a hint of ambiguity in his eyes.
But reason still outweighed the intimacy in his heart, and he said coldly: "Drag her away, send her back to the palace and confine her for three months. From now on, she is not allowed to step into the palace without my order. Whoever led her there will be caned to death if found out."
The eunuch outside the door answered yes and dragged her away quickly. The emperor looked at Fuping again and kicked him: "If you do it again, I will not be able to keep you. Go down and receive ten canings in the court, and then come back to serve!"
Ten canings in the court, and he was still asked to come back to serve.
Fuping knew that the emperor was punishing her with a small punishment, and he was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy, thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy."
After saying that, he ran out quickly.
The emperor took a deep breath, pressed his temples, and suddenly said: "If everyone can be like you, I don't know how much worry I will save."
Jiang Zhiyu, who was enjoying watching the show: "..."
[Why are you suddenly praising me? Are you impressed by my charm? ]
[More, more, who would complain about too much praise? ]
The emperor: "..."
He looked away and changed the subject: "I intend to invite Master Tanluan back to the palace, what do you think, Zhiyu?"
Jiang Zhiyu thought for a while before digging out such a person from her memory.
[He does have some real skills. ]
The emperor just breathed a sigh of relief, and then he heard her say:
[It's a pity that the current Master Tanluan is no longer the same Master Tanluan as before. ]
[Instead, he was deceived by his black-hearted apprentice, who used his skin to come out and cheat! 】
The emperor immediately lost interest.
"It's up to His Majesty to decide." Jiang Zhiyu muttered to himself, and said perfunctorily, and then saw the emperor pick up a pen and began to review the memorials, as if he had just asked casually.
At the same time, Han Yanning was also taken back to the Anle Marquis's mansion.
After being severely beaten with a stick, Lu Daizong and Lu Yaozu were still bedridden, but Anle Marquis was able to walk. Hearing from the maid that his wife hurriedly got on the carriage to the palace, Anle Marquis was very anxious and quickly ordered people to prepare the carriage to enter the palace.
Before the carriage was ready, he saw Han Yanning, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, appear in his sight.
Marquis Anle was immediately heartbroken, he took two steps forward, hugged her and comforted her gently: "Madam, what's the matter?"
Han Yanning did not answer, and went straight into her room. Marquis Anle followed her with a grin. Han Yanning sat down, dismissed the servants, pointed at his nose and started scolding him.
"You can still laugh! Let me ask you, why did you hide the news of a fire in my brother's house from me!"
Marquis Anle's heart skipped a beat, and Han Yanning cried again, "I actually misjudged you. My brother treated you well in the past. If there was any good thing, didn't he send it to you and me first? It's a pity that he is gone without even leaving any descendants. How can I face my parents in the future?!"
Marquis Anle sighed heavily, "Madam, don't worry." He stretched out his hand to hug her, but was slapped down by Han Yanning. Marquis Anle sat beside her helplessly, "Madam, I didn't hide it from you on purpose, but this matter really cannot be investigated further."
Han Yanning looked at him coldly, and Marquis Anle analyzed the pros and cons to her word by word.
"You saw it that day, too. The Imperial Guard came and went straight to the target, which shows that the emperor already has sufficient evidence."
Han Yanning wiped away tears. The incident happened suddenly that day. The Imperial Guard went straight to her bedroom, grabbed the pillow and left. Her husband's injuries had not healed yet. She tried to stop them in every way, but in the end she failed.
At that time, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Seeing the thoughtful look in her eyes, Marquis Anle knew that she had heard what he said. He moved closer and then said, "The emperor directly put him in prison, and when he came out, he was already a corpse. He was killed too quickly without giving
him any chance." "Normally, when punishing corrupt officials, they have to wait until the Jinyi Guards have searched for evidence, searched their homes, and then beheaded them in public. But this time the emperor killed him so quickly. I suspect that it must be that my brother did something, or learned some secret, that led the emperor to kill him."
"And the fire happened suddenly. How could such a big Shangshu Mansion with so many servants be burned so badly that none of them could escape? It's because..."
He fell silent and pointed to the sky.
Han Yanning felt a chill on her back.
Anle Hou sighed, and this time he reached out to hold her, and Han Yanning did not resist.
"Now you know why I hid it from you."
Han Yanning nodded on his chest, and she couldn't help crying again. "That day, I knew it was not good. I was thinking of a way, but the news that my brother had passed away came out. I was thinking about helping my brother take care of the mansion in the future, but I never thought that they couldn't wait for me..."
She choked up, and she couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards the emperor. She said without thinking: "What does the emperor want? Does he want to kill our whole family? No wonder he had such an attitude when I went to Yu's study to ask him to investigate thoroughly!"
Anle Hou "sighed" and whispered in her ear: "Madam, don't say such words loudly, you must know that the other side of the wall has ears."
Han Yanning was angry and said something she didn't know what to say. When she heard him say that, she remembered the look in the emperor's eyes during the day, and her heartbeat stopped.
"That's right!" She suddenly got excited, got up from Anlehou's arms, and whispered in his ear under Anlehou's suspicious gaze, "I went to Yu's study today and saw the emperor and Jiang Zhiyu in dishevel, alone in a room. Even Fuping was driven out."
