Chapter 346: Lifting the House Arrest
"Don't worry, the Pavilion Master said that this child has suffered an unexpected disaster this time. Since she met him, it must be fate. We can't just sit back and watch."
Leng Yu nodded to the woman in a friendly manner:
"Please follow me."
The woman was overjoyed and quickly followed with the child in her arms.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly felt her eyes blurred, and when she looked again, she saw a door with a sign that read "Tianming Pavilion"!
Leng Yu turned sideways, nodded at her again, and walked in.
The woman suppressed her shock and followed with hope.
…
…
Prince's Mansion.
The confidant came to the study and reported with his head bowed:
"Your Highness, there is news from Sun Zhubo."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Xiao Zirui perked up and asked immediately.
The confidant said hesitantly:
"Captain Yan did not accept the banknote from Sun Zhubo, but told him that if he had any difficulties and wanted to ask Master Qingyun for help, he could take him to Tianming Pavilion. As for the rest, it all depends on his own luck."
"One hundred taels of silver, and he confiscated it?" Xiao Zirui asked in surprise.
These low-level clerks might not even earn a hundred taels in several years, but they could bear to refuse. What was even more surprising was that he was willing to help even after he did not take the money.
"Master Sun had to make it clear that he was not the one who wanted to find Master Qingyun," the confidant said, "Now, Captain Yan has agreed to help Master Sun introduce someone to Tianming Pavilion for the sake of their friendship. Your Highness, what do you think should be done next?"
Xiao Zirui fell into deep thought.
He is still under house arrest. If he sneaks out of Tianming Pavilion and is discovered again like last time, he will be in big trouble.
But if I don't meet a master like the Master of Tianming Pavilion in person, it would seem that I am not sincere.
This is very difficult to deal with.
Just as I was thinking about it, a servant suddenly came in hurriedly and reported:
"Your Highness, the eunuch from the palace is here to deliver the decree!"
Xiao Zirui was shocked and hurried out to receive the order.
When I arrived at the yard, I saw Yun Bailian also sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed hurriedly, followed by Su Yurou.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was shocked when he saw the wheelchair:
"Hey, what happened to the Crown Princess?"
Xiao Zirui didn't know what the imperial edict said, and he felt uneasy. He was also afraid that Yun Bailian would say something inappropriate, so he quickly said:
"The Crown Princess accidentally broke her leg a few days ago and is still recuperating. Your Excellency, please announce the decree first."
The eunuch nodded and said loudly:
"Crown Prince, Crown Princess, listen to my order—"
Everyone in the courtyard knelt down to listen to the order, even Yun Bailian knelt down with the help of servants.
The eunuch who delivered the decree recited loudly "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, declares" and so on, and then said:
"…The Queen is ill and misses the Crown Prince. I hereby release the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess from their house arrest and order them to come to the palace to serve the sick and show filial piety. I decree this!"
"I accept your order and thank you!"
Xiao Zirui was stunned at first, but he reacted immediately, and hurriedly thanked him, feeling overjoyed.
Although the imperial edict said that the queen was ill, she had just said not long ago that there was a way to lift his house arrest, so he immediately realized that the queen's claim of illness was that strategy.
Although he thought so in his heart, when Xiao Zirui took the imperial edict and stood up, an anxious look appeared on his face:
"Did Father-in-law see Mother? Why did she suddenly fall ill? How is she now?"
The eunuch gave Xiao Zirui a look without any expression and said:
"I noticed that the Queen was not in good spirits, so I don't know the details, but before I came here, the Queen asked me to bring a message to the Crown Prince—"
"She asked you to go as soon as possible, and she insisted that the Crown Princess accompany you, but she didn't expect the Crown Princess' legs..."
Xiao Zirui looked at Yun Bailian with some surprise, only to see that she had just been picked up and sat back in the wheelchair.
He pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Thank you, eunuch. I will take the Crown Princess to see the Queen Mother right away."
Yun Bailian was delighted when she heard that her house arrest was lifted. When she heard that she was going to enter the palace, her eyes suddenly flickered and she smiled sweetly:
"Your Highness, my leg has actually healed quite well these days, but I just followed the doctor's orders to rest for a while longer, so I haven't been walking around freely."
"Since I have to go visit my mother and take care of her, I naturally cannot sit in a wheelchair anymore."
As she spoke, she asked the maid to help her stand up, and she stepped onto the ground and took two cautious steps:
"Your Highness, look, I'm fine now!"
Xiao Zirui walked over with some surprise, helped her walk a few more steps, and said in surprise:
"It really recovered so quickly!"
Yun Bailian's leg was completely broken at the beginning. It was Taoist Cang Huai who treated her leg. He did say that there was a way to make her recover faster than ordinary people.
But the Taoist priest also said that she had to be rested for two months at least. Now, after just over a month, she has recovered, which really surprised Xiao Zirui.
Yun Bailian pursed her lips and smiled:
"I don't know what's going on, actually. I've been having dreams every night lately, and I always dream that I'm sleeping on a paulownia tree. The scent from the branches makes me feel comfortable, especially my legs. Every time I wake up, I feel like my legs are much better."
"I had originally thought that I would wait two days, until I could confirm that my leg was completely healed, before giving the Crown Prince a surprise. I didn't expect the imperial edict to arrive first."
Xiao Zirui looked at her with admiration and nodded:
"Bai Lian is a phoenix from heaven, so she must be blessed by God. The fact that your leg healed so quickly proves this point!"
He was in a good mood and took Yun Bailian's hand:
"Come on, follow me into the palace to see my mother!"
Yun Bailian smiled gently and nodded, finally feeling a lot more at ease.
Fortunately, my mother had a way. The person she found helped my legs recover quickly. Fortunately, I made it in time, otherwise I would have to go to the palace in a wheelchair and people would have questioned why a Tianfeng like me had such bad luck.
She followed Xiao Zirui for a few steps and suddenly screamed and tripped.
Xiao Zirui held her tightly and said nervously:
"How is it? Is your leg okay?"
Yun Bailian snuggled in his arms, patted her chest, and smiled softly:
"It's okay. I just sat for too long recently and I'm a little uncomfortable. Thanks to my brother the prince, I didn't fall."
"There's no need for us to be so polite. Come, I'll support you. Be careful." Xiao Zirui was in a good mood at the moment, and he gently supported Yun Bailian and walked forward.
Yun Bailian snuggled up to him tightly, and before leaving, she secretly glanced back at Su Yurou with a sneer.
Su Yurou had already secretly crumpled the corners of her sleeves into a ball, and when she met Yun Bailian's gaze, the hatred in her heart became even stronger.
She turned around and strode back to her own courtyard, rushed into the room and smashed a lot of things, gritting her teeth:
"Damn you Yun Bailian, just wait and see! I want to see how long you can be so proud!"
…
…
Fengqi Palace.
Xiao Zirui and Yun Bailian came to the queen's bed, and surprisingly, the emperor was also there.
The two of them quickly kowtowed to the Emperor and Empress, and Xiao Zirui also made a special trip to thank his father for lifting the house arrest.
The emperor nodded:
"Everyone, please get up. I still have some memorials to review. Your mother has been missing you for a while. You two should have a good chat."
After saying this, the emperor stood up and went back to the imperial study.
Xiao Zirui breathed a sigh of relief as he watched him leave, then turned to look at the Queen and said:
"Mother, I see that Father seems to be in a good mood today?"
The queen leaned on the couch, she did not look seriously ill, and was in a good mood. She said:
"Of course. If there wasn't a happy event today, how could I have persuaded your father to lift the confinement so smoothly?"
"Oh?" Xiao Zirui asked curiously, "What's the happy event?"
