Chapter 446: Fierce and Fierce
Half a month later, Prince Xiao and his entourage returned to the capital. Chu Shangming and three others went home first to report their safety, while Prince Xiao, Xie Hui and others went into the palace to meet the emperor.
Xiao Jingfan summoned everyone to Wenhua Hall.
Now that his identity is different, Chu Liuzheng cannot stay in the hall to listen, so he goes to the side hall to wait and watch the live broadcast using the system.
[Oh, Prince Li is quite good at playing pitiful and innocent. Unfortunately, the tyrant doesn't buy it. With the evidence before him, even if Prince Li cries his heart out, he won't be able to continue to be a prince.]
As soon as she saw this, she heard noisy shouting coming from outside the hall.
Chen Xing ran out to see what was happening, and came back saying, "His Majesty was furious. He demoted His Royal Highness Prince Li to a commoner and imprisoned him for life. He also exiled the entire Prince Li's residence, including the Princess Li."
【He actually managed to survive.】
Chu Liuzheng was a little surprised. After all, what Prince Li did was tantamount to rebellion. According to the emperor's temperament, he only imprisoned and exiled him, without shedding blood, which was really a mercy.
"His Royal Highness Prince Xiao pleaded for mercy." Chen Xing lowered his voice, "His Majesty has changed his mind."
That makes sense.
Chu Liuzheng took a piece of watermelon and ate it, then reopened the system.
After dealing with Prince Li, it's time to deal with the fourth prince of Tartar. I wonder what the tyrant will do?
What will Xiao Jingfan do?
Of course, we will send troops to punish the culprit.
As a prince of Tatar, he broke into Dasheng without reporting, sent people to kidnap innocent people, stirred up trouble, and even wanted to destroy the friendly relationship between Dasheng and Guiyun City. It is simply abominable. Tatar must give Dasheng an explanation!
Hu Ke himself was of little value to Xiao Jingfan. After some thought, he ordered his men to temporarily detain him in the Dali Temple prison.
Xie Hui took the man away and detained him.
The emperor was angry, so Prince Xiao naturally would not stay any longer, lest he be conscripted as free labor by his younger brother.
Kunqi pushed him out of the palace. King Xiao looked around. He hadn't seen Chu Liuzheng in the palace just now. Why was he not outside the palace either? Had he gone to work somewhere else?
Zhou Yuande escorted him out. Seeing that he looked like he was looking for someone, he asked considerately, "Does Your Majesty have any instructions?"
King Xiao smiled and said, "I brought some snacks for Liu Zheng. Why isn't she serving in front of the emperor? Is she sick?"
Zhou Yuande bowed and replied, "Your Highness may not know that Miss Chu is currently accompanying you in the side hall."
The meaning of this statement is obvious.
King Xiao was slightly stunned. Is this it?
He asked curiously, "Why didn't I hear the news?"
Zhou Yuande said truthfully, "Your Majesty has not yet promoted Miss Chu."
Not promoted yet?
King Xiao frowned quickly, but did not say much. He ordered Kunqi to hand the box of snacks to Zhou Yuande and ask Zhou Yuande to pass it to Chu Liuzheng.
Zhou Yuande smiled and agreed, "His Majesty has already ordered the Magnolia Palace to be renovated. Your Highness must have been exhausted from the journey. Please return and rest."
King Xiao nodded to him, and Kunqi pushed him away.
Zhou Yuande stood there and watched the master and servant leave, and asked Xiao Anzi to deliver the snacks to Chu Liuzheng.
A moment later, Chu Liuzheng received a large box of snacks.
She opened the box and found that the snacks were divided into two portions, one from King Xiao and the other from Chu Shangming.
She couldn't help but curl her eyes, and a warm feeling flowed through her heart.
Now that my eldest brother has returned safely, I should also mention to the tyrant that I should bring my mother and the others to the palace for a meeting.
She thought for a while, took out some snacks, and handed the rest to Miyue, asking her to share it with Moxiang and the others.
That night, the evening breeze was blowing and the temperature was much lower than during the day.
The stars were twinkling in the sky, and the moon was only a shallow crescent, as light as a cloud.
Many lanterns with exquisite designs were added to the Imperial Garden.
A pair of figures walked hand in hand, taking their daily after-dinner stroll.
Zhou Yuande and others followed from a distance, their footsteps so light that they were almost inaudible.
"Your Majesty, I would like to see my family tomorrow." Chu Liuzheng tilted his head and looked at the person beside him, "Is it convenient?"
She had originally wanted to tell the emperor this afternoon, but the emperor summoned his ministers to discuss state affairs and was busy until sunset, so he finally had some free time now.
"It would be convenient if you wanted to see them," Xiao Jingfan said. "I will send someone to bring them into the palace tomorrow. You can just wait in the side hall."
The next morning, a carriage slowly drove out of the palace gate and headed south of the city.
"Xin'er, is your brother up yet?"
In the backyard of the grocery store, Bai's voice was heard from the kitchen.
"No." Chu Yuxin tied the red hairband tightly and jumped to knock on her eldest brother's door, "Bang bang bang!"
"Brother! Brother! Get up! We'll be late if we go to the Ministry of Revenue!"
There was a "bang" sound from inside the house, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.
Chu Yuxin immediately turned around and shouted towards the kitchen: "Mother, my brother fell off the bed again!"
"As long as you're awake." Mrs. Bai came out of the kitchen carrying a basin and called to her little girl, "Hurry up and sit down to eat. After you finish eating, you can open the shop for business."
"Dad hasn't come back from buying the goods yet, don't worry." Chu Yuxin ran over and sat down. She stretched her little neck to look at the basin. Seeing that it was filled with white porridge, her little face immediately fell. "Why is it porridge? We agreed yesterday to eat wontons this morning."
She had been waiting for it all night, and Bai Qi came so early.
"What kind of wontons are you talking about?" Mrs. Bai put the bowl of porridge in front of her and glared at her. "If you want to eat it, make it yourself!"
"So fierce." Chu Yuxin muttered softly, her little mouth pouting so much that an oil bottle could be hung on it.
"Why do you have such a face so early in the morning?" Chu Shangming dressed neatly, opened the door and came out. He reached out and rubbed his little sister's head, then went to the well to fetch water for washing.
Chu Yuxin glanced at Bai who was drinking porridge, stood up and ran towards her eldest brother, complaining in a low voice: "Brother, mother has been very mean to me and father recently."
"Did you make my mother angry?" Chu Shangming wrung out the handkerchief and wiped his face. The well water was cool and refreshing, which was very comfortable in the midsummer weather.
"No." Chu Yuxin puffed up her cheeks and chattered, "Mother has been dreaming about my sister recently. She insisted that she was in trouble in the palace and she hadn't sent any letters home. So Mother asked my father to go to the inn three times a day and annoyed the innkeeper with his questions."
"It's about this matter." Chu Shangming hung the washcloth on the rope and took his little sister to eat. "His Royal Highness Prince Xiao will also come to the Ministry of Revenue today. I'll ask His Royal Highness Prince Xiao and I'll know. If You Miao is really in trouble, His Royal Highness will definitely tell me."
Hearing this, Mrs. Bai paused in her porridge sips and placed a pickled cabbage lump in each of her eldest son's and youngest daughter's bowls. "Eat quickly. I'll go to the market to buy some meat later. We'll have wontons tomorrow."
"Are you really going to eat it?" Chu Yuxin tilted her head and looked at her mother.
Bai: "Eat it if you want."
"Eat!" Chu Yuxin grinned, trying to act cute. "Mother's wontons are the best!"
"You're the only one who talks too much." Mrs. Bai glanced at her daughter. She knew she'd been irritable lately, but she was just worried. And the two of them, one big and one small, kept picking on her. This time, she couldn't help herself...
Thinking of this, she picked up another piece of pickles for her little girl.
Chu Yuxin had no objection now and obediently buried her head in eating.
