Chapter 705 "White Moonlight" Leave
Lu Qiniang secretly murmured in her heart, why did she feel that Xiao Yan was now "a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water".
No, that's not right. It should be called being spoiled and arrogant.
Seeing how angry the emperor was, he couldn't bear to blame him.
In the past, you would be guilty even if you did nothing, but now you are not guilty even if you actually do something.
This is true love.
"Abandoned mother, go home first."
"I'm with you. I'm fine now."
Xiao Yan: "...No, I would be embarrassed if you were to watch me being punished here."
Lu Qiniang: "...You really don't need me to accompany you?"
"No, you go home first."
"Okay then, I'm really leaving?"
"Um."
Lu Qiniang thought that being punished by kneeling for two hours was nothing to Xiao Yan.
While she is here, the emperor cannot let her go.
If she were not here, the emperor might even go easy on her.
The problem that had troubled her for two days was solved. Lu Qiniang felt relieved and went home to make dumplings for Xiao Yan.
——After getting scolded, you have to eat something good.
After Lu Qiniang left, the queen also came out.
But she was smiling.
She said to Xiao Yan, "Thanks to the Marquis' prompt decision, otherwise there would be endless troubles."
Xiao Yan lowered his head: "I am guilty. I was only trying to protect my wife."
Far from blaming him for not distinguishing between public and private matters, the Queen praised him, saying, "Marquis Wuwei has always been a man of character, and that's how it should be."
Xiao Yan lowered his head.
Less than a quarter of an hour after the Queen left, the Emperor's voice rang out from the Imperial Study: "Xiao Yan, get in here!"
The eunuch beside him hurriedly lowered his head.
No one dared to spread the news about this "father-son" relationship.
The emperor is "I" in front of others, but when he is angry he becomes "Laozi" in front of the marquis.
Xiao Yan "rolled" in and started making demands.
"Your Majesty, could you please dismiss your attendants? I have something important to report."
The emperor cursed and waved his hand to let his attendants leave.
"If you have something to say, say it now." He pointed at Xiao Yan and said unhappily, "Look at you, what can I say to you? You just take advantage of my pampering and do whatever you want! I can protect you once, twice, three times, but can I protect you every time?"
Doesn’t that make him look like a tyrant?
"Your humble servant acknowledges his guilt." Xiao Yan lowered his eyes. "This matter is indeed my fault. I beg Your Majesty to handle it impartially."
"Handle impartially? Kill all nine generations of your clan?" The emperor glared at Xiao Yan fiercely.
Xiao Yan paused for a moment and then said, "Dismissal is justified."
The Emperor: "Xiao Yan, do you dare to give up your responsibility?"
Is there no trace of the affection we once had?
He expected Xiao Yan to defend his kingdom for him so that he could rest easy. But after only a few days, this old guy wanted to run away?
You wish!
"Why would you have such thoughts?" The emperor suppressed his anger and his expression became more serious. "Xiao Yan, it's just you and me now. Tell me the truth."
There is no need to be hypocritical between them.
"Are you really going to tell the truth, Your Majesty?"
"Who told you to lie?"
"The truth is, I miss my daughter. I'm worried about her being alone in the northwest, so I want to take three months off..."
However, the emperor did not grant leave.
The emperor was furious: "Xiao Yan, you're almost there, quit while you're ahead. When your eldest daughter gave birth, you took three months off. Now what happened to your third daughter that you're also taking three months off? Don't tell me she's giving birth too!"
Xiao Yan lowered his eyes, "Your Majesty, you didn't grant me leave before."
How dare you bring up something that's probably fake?
"Furthermore, Your Majesty has always loved the Crown Prince. Your feelings for the Crown Prince are the same as my feelings for my daughter. In my heart, Jiaojiao is still a child."
I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you so much.
The emperor can understand.
Because he really did favor Liu Jian and missed him even though he couldn't see him.
"Can't you just keep in touch and wait until next year or later when you're free? Besides, if I don't grant you leave, will you resign? Aren't you afraid that your actions will be 'recorded in history' and made a laughingstock?"
"No, I never seek any fame after death."
It is enough to enjoy this life to the fullest.
"Three months of leave is truly outrageous. I cannot set this precedent for you."
"I have an idea—"
"Tell me about it."
"Since I have done something wrong, I am willing to reflect on my mistakes for three months and be fined three months' salary."
He added the last sentence on a whim.
This would save Lu Qiniang from nagging him all the time. Since he received a salary from the court, he had to work for the court.
The Emperor: "Don't you think you're asking too much? Don't I just want to take a three-month break and go out for a walk?"
Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then looked up at the emperor: "How about I take you with me?"
Anyway, the Queen is in charge of the affairs of the court.
The Emperor: "...No, the Queen won't agree."
He is not that free.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to go. I promise not to make a fuss and will work diligently in the future to make up for these three months."
Which man can ultimately withstand the demands of "White Moonlight"?
The emperor is just an ordinary man who is deeply in love.
So in the end, the emperor reluctantly agreed.
"Let's tell everyone this: I scolded you and you ran away in anger. This is to avoid someone discovering your whereabouts and forcing me to punish you for deceiving the emperor." The emperor said unhappily.
"Your Majesty, this is a very good plan. If you can allow me to return in the future, people will praise your majesty for your generosity."
"I have a lot of magnanimity, but you're just trying to piss me off." The emperor glared at Xiao Yan, "This is just the first time, and it won't happen again."
Don't come once a year, he can't stand it.
"I thank you for your grace, my lord." Xiao Yan said sincerely.
The emperor was extremely tolerant of him, and he knew that he would definitely respond with the most sincere loyalty in the future.
After Xiao Yan returned home, he told Lu Qiniang that he was going to the northwest for three months.
"Can the Emperor allow you to go?"
"I was wrong this time, and I need to give an explanation to the public." Xiao Yan explained.
Lu Qiniang understood it very simply.
The purpose is to let Xiao Yan reflect for three months.
"That's fine. My affairs are almost over. Let's take Lao Hu and go to Guangzhou Prefecture together."
The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh.
Daya and her daughter are safe.
Originally, Lu Qin's mother wanted to take care of her and wait until she was out of confinement before going south.
But then I thought about it and was afraid that Erya would start the attack too early, so I decided to go early.
Xiao Yan insisted on going to the northwest.
Lu Qiniang didn't understand, but she couldn't persuade him.
——It might be because when Xiao Yan came home, San Ya was the youngest and closest to him.
People, it is impossible for all ten fingers to be the same length.
Just go, Lu Qiniang thought.
But Daya, who was in confinement after giving birth, was much more sensitive than her.
When she heard that Xiao Yan was going to the northwest, she immediately went to see Xiao Yan with Jiang Xuan.
"Zhao Zhao, why are you here?" Xiao Yan was a little surprised. He quickly closed the doors and windows, but couldn't help but blame Jiang Xuan.
"She wanted to come out, and you didn't stop her."
Jiang Xuan smiled but said nothing.
"Dad, did something happen to my third sister?" Daya asked straight to the point.
She knew very well that Xiao Yan was not a willful person.
