Chapter 322 Si Liuyan Arrives at the Palace
Lu Yaoyao followed her parents to the inner room and sat down, telling them what she had seen and heard in the past two years.
As they talked, they started talking about Duke Qiao.
"Father, hasn't the evidence of Duke Qiao's guilt been found yet?" Lu Yaoyao didn't believe that Duke Qiao could hide the evidence so well.
Speaking of this, Lu Xiao had a headache. "I have been searching for evidence of his crime for years, but the clues always disappear when I have a clue. And the clues always disappear completely. Someone must be helping him secretly."
Duke Qiao just returned to Kyoto a few years ago, so it stands to reason that he has no roots here.
The reason for his return was also far-fetched. It was said that he wanted to ask the emperor for permission, saying that he was suffering from a serious illness and wanted to return to Kyoto to recuperate.
The emperor had no choice but to approve his request.
But in the past few years since he came back, he has been eating, drinking and having fun during the day, and has brought home at least thirty women, if not fifty.
By the evening, the Duke's Mansion was eerily quiet and the lights were turned off early.
This is not normal at all!
"Father, that person should be Prince Li or Su Yan'er." Lu Yaoyao was very sure.
"It's certain that Prince Li and Su Yan'er helped him. There must be someone behind the scenes helping him, but we're not sure who it is. I also sent people to investigate inside Duke Qiao's mansion, but they couldn't see anything from the outside." Lu Xiao was also helpless.
The shadow guards around him were quite powerful, but they still couldn't find any trace of Duke Qiao.
Lu Yaoyao smiled slightly, "Now that I'm back, I will help father find that person. No matter what kind of monster he is, he can't escape my eyes."
Lu Yaoyao had a bold guess in her mind, but she still needed to meet Duke Qiao to verify it in person.
There are some things that ordinary people cannot explore.
"Okay." Lu Xiao was very pleased.
There were only three of them at the dinner table, and no one noticed that the three little brats were missing.
The other three guys had to go to the emperor to get a meal.
In the blink of an eye, it was Lu Yaoyao's coming-of-age ceremony.
The sky, which had been cloudy for a long time, finally cleared up. The sunlight shone through the clouds onto the snow, reflecting a dazzling golden light.
In order to prevent the young ladies from noble families from getting cold, Lu Yaoyao set up a barrier around the entire palace.
As soon as you enter the gate of the palace, you can feel that it is a completely different world from the outside world.
"Why is it so warm in the palace? I even put on extra clothes today, fearing it would be too cold."
"Me too! I thought the palace was as cold as outside, but I didn't expect it to be so warm?"
"After all, the princess is a goddess. Wouldn't it be easy for her to make the palace as warm as spring?"
"Yes! The princess hasn't been back to the capital for a long time. I wonder if she has changed?"
The noble ladies went to the back garden together, all wanting to see the princess's face.
Most of the ministers' families had received Lu Yaoyao's favor and had become closer to her.
After all, before entering the palace, the elders in the family repeatedly warned him not to offend Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Qiao Yinyin followed a group of noble ladies, and her distorted expression could be seen even through her veiled face.
He raised his hand and touched his deformed face. It was all because of her! He was the one who had turned into the neither-human-nor-ghost-looking face he was in now!
When she first met the emperor, she fell in love with him at first sight and wanted to take him home to keep him as a gigolo.
She just saw a beautiful person and wanted to hide her, why couldn't she tolerate her?
He also crushed her cheekbone, causing her to become what she is now.
She wanted to see what the princess would look like after a few years!
The palace was filled with joy. At this time, Si Liuyan, dressed in white and riding a white horse, was galloping towards them.
"Liu Yan, there's no need for you to run so fast. The princess's coming-of-age ceremony is still a while away, we won't be late." Erniu was riding a horse behind him, panting with exhaustion.
They should have arrived earlier, but something happened on the way and the road was blocked by heavy snow, so they finally arrived in Kyoto in a hurry.
If they had a carriage like the princess's, they wouldn't be so slow.
Si Liuyan wanted to see Lu Yaoyao as soon as possible and couldn't wait any longer. "We need to arrive earlier. We are already late."
He hadn't seen his fiancée for seven years and he missed her terribly.
Although the two of them often communicated, he still felt uneasy when he didn't see her.
This time I came to attend her coming-of-age ceremony and also to propose marriage.
My father and mother have ordered people to transport a large amount of gold to Kyoto just to give Yaoyao a surprise.
Erniu was speechless. It’s hard to control a man in horny!
Phew!
Finally he arrived at the palace, jumped off his horse, and trotted into the palace.
The Yulin Army guarding the palace gate: ······
Did something just fly past?
Erniu was not as fast as him and took out the token at the door. "The person who just entered was the Si family, the young master of the Si family. I am Erniu, the princess's bodyguard!"
They are all registered in the palace and can prove their identity by showing a special token.
The guard looked at the token and immediately became respectful. "Please come in."
Erniu also trotted into the palace.
He can't catch up with Si Liuyan, that mad dog!
Looking at the two people running away, the guards all showed envy. They also wanted to become the princess's personal guards, which was even more glorious than being the commander-in-chief of the Yulin Army!
Si Liuyan entered the palace and first went to the palace where he lived, washed and changed his clothes, and then went to visit the emperor.
Lu Xiao looked at the brat who came to visit, and his face suddenly darkened. "What are you doing here?"
Don't think he doesn't know what this guy is thinking. He is waiting for his daughter to come of age before proposing the marriage.
He doesn't want his daughter to get married so early, okay?
Si Liuyan had a flattering smile on his handsome face, "Your Majesty, aren't you asking even though you already know the answer? I'm here to see Yaoyao."
Over the years, Si Hanlin often brought Si Liuyan to the palace to stay for a while, and they became very familiar with each other.
The way they talk is not like that of a king and his subjects, but rather like the way good friends interact with each other.
Lu Xiao originally liked this way of getting along, so he just agreed.
but!
Today, the brat came to covet his daughter. This is intolerable!
"You little brat, are you itching for trouble? You're not allowed to see me!" Lu Xiao started to act like a rogue.
Si Liuyan was not annoyed, but still smiled, "Master, you can't play tricks on me! Yaoyao is my fiancée, okay? You and Master's wife have seen Yaoyao over the years, but I haven't. Every time I come, you drive me away, and I haven't seen Yaoyao many times."
Lu Xiao once taught Si Liuyan a lot of kung fu. In his heart, Lu Xiao was the emperor, the master, and the future father-in-law.
He respected Lu Xiao more than his own father.
Lu Xiao didn't fall for his tricks. Over the years, he had been playing tricks on him in order to get information about Yaoyao from him.
He is the ancestor of cheating, how can we let him get away with it?
"That won't work either! You go out and wait first." Lu Xiao glared.
He needs to temper this kid's temper.
In fact, he had already decided on this son-in-law in his heart, but he couldn't lose his dignity as a father-in-law!
Si Liuyan's mouth twitched, "Master, I will withdraw first."
Walked out reluctantly.
Today is Yaoyao's coming-of-age ceremony, she will definitely be very busy, so he won't make things more complicated and will just wait to see her.
When Erniu saw him coming out with his head hung low, his eyes twitched. He knew that if he went in to see the emperor he would definitely be kicked out, so it would be better for him to go see the empress!
Who in the world doesn't know that the Emperor of our Great Yu Dynasty is afraid of the Empress?
