Old Master Bai said with a smile, "That's right, Your Majesty. Yu girl's marriage has always been a major concern for everyone in the Duke's Mansion. The main reason is that the girl is too picky and has very few people who can catch her eye. But I didn't expect that this matter would be resolved as soon as Prince Yi returned."
"Hahahaha... I'm so happy in my heart that I want to settle the matter quickly so that I can feel at ease. This time, I came to the palace to ask Your Majesty to grant me..."
"uncle."
Emperor Wenyuan interrupted Old Man Bai, rubbing his slightly aching temple, and spoke as gently as possible: "Let Prince Yi choose his own marriage. It's not in my power to make the decision for him."
"What?"
Old Master Bai was stunned for a moment, then frowned. "No, Your Majesty, this King Yi has been in the Buddhist temple for over twenty years, either eating vegetarian food or chanting Buddha's name every day. I guess he's barely even seen a woman. He definitely hasn't figured out this trick yet. How would he know how to choose?"
"My daughter Yu is a good girl. She is very talented and has a good personality. If I let King Yi choose, I'm afraid he won't be able to see the difference..."
Thinking of the "talent" that Empress Dowager Bai mentioned.
Emperor Wenyuan suddenly became more resolute in his tone: "I have already promised Prince Yi about this matter a long time ago, my promise is golden." Last time, it was Mo Junran himself who said that he would make his own choice, and Empress Dowager Bai helped him out, but he didn't actually agree.
But it makes no difference.
Anyway, any noble lady in the capital will be prettier than Bai Yuer.
Mr. Bai frowned: "But my little girl Yu..."
"Forget it, forget it. Since His Majesty has already made his promise, I cannot embarrass His Majesty any further. Let Prince Yi choose for himself. This is actually quite good. My little Yu is full of good qualities, and he will surely see them..."
The corners of Emperor Wenyuan's mouth twitched slightly.
I can see it clearly...
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Elder Bai suddenly thought of something and said to Emperor Wenyuan, "I've heard rumors circulating that the Shen family has a red-lettered iron certificate. If possible, we must take it back. We must also deal with the Shen family's affairs. After all, this concerns the people of the Western Great Wall, the Marquis of Zhenbei, and Duke Yang of Qi."
Speaking of Duke Yang of Qi, Emperor Wenyuan asked, "Uncle, is this Duke Yang of Qi...really Yang Zhao?"
In fact, he checked.
It is certain.
But Emperor Wenyuan still asked a question.
Old Master Bai nodded, his eyes filled with admiration. "It was indeed that girl. I didn't report this to Your Majesty because the late Emperor had issued an order that no one with knowledge of the matter should disclose it unless Duke Yang of Qi was willing to share it himself."
Even he doesn't know!
Emperor Wenyuan was naturally uncomfortable.
However, given the words of the previous emperor, Emperor Wenyuan naturally had nothing to say.
Mr. Bai seemed not to notice Emperor Wenyuan's mood and continued with a smile: "Actually, that girl is also quite capable."
"Your Majesty, you don't know that the year that girl's mother died, there was a severe drought in the south and a plague in the north. The situation was truly critical, yet... none of the disaster relief and epidemic relief efforts under the name of Duke Yang of Qi were neglected."
"I still remember how that little girl personally led people to search for doctors willing to go to the plague city for several days and nights. Later, she even personally led those doctors to the plague city..."
"That girl was only eleven years old at that time!"
Old Master Bai sighed softly and said, "Your Majesty, the title of Duke Yang of Qi may be a great honor to many, but to the women of the Yang family, it is an unshirkable responsibility and a burden."
"Duke Yang of the Former Qi died without warning, and young Yang Zhao was forced to take his mother's place."
"The situation she faced at that time was like a child causing trouble with gold, facing all kinds of hardships... But during this period, she never once lost the reputation of Duke Yang of Qi, and even did better than her mother..."
Emperor Wenyuan was stunned.
Because he also thought about the good deeds done in the name of Duke Yang of Qi over the years of investigation, and he had never missed a single one.
Eleven years old?
It’s still very small indeed!
Emperor Wenyuan couldn't help but think of the day when Yang Zhao straightened his back and recounted the Shen family's crimes one by one under the drum...
"That girl is really not bad."
Emperor Wenyuan nodded.
Admitted it for the first time.
Mr. Bai spoke for a while before taking his leave.
And An Yi also came back.
He knelt on one knee before Emperor Wenyuan and reported, "Your Majesty, we have investigated thoroughly. The news came from the Shen family in the Dali Temple prison. They told the jailer to report that they wanted to see Your Majesty, and someone overheard the jailer's report."
Emperor Wenyuan's face darkened.
That night.
Emperor Wenyuan appeared in the prison in casual clothes.
When Shen Li saw Emperor Wenyuan, he first widened his eyes in disbelief, and then the blood drained from his face in an instant.
The Shen family was extremely surprised. "Your Highness, long live the Emperor..."
Emperor Wenyuan looked down upon the Shen family.
Finally, his eyes fell on the still-living Shen Li in the corner, and his eyes narrowed slightly. Shen Li's heart trembled, and he immediately knelt on the ground without caring about the pain.
Full of horror and fear.
Why is the emperor here?
How is this possible...
"I heard that you want to see me?" Emperor Wenyuan said in a majestic voice.
Clan leader Shen knelt and moved forward a little. Just as he was about to talk about the Red Book and Iron Certificate, Shen Li hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I did not tell the clan members that the Red Book and Iron Certificate had been unconditionally presented. That is why they disturbed Your Majesty."
