The emperor didn't believe it and put the telescope in front of his eyes again. Sure enough, this time he could see it clearly again. He could even see the patterns on the pilgrims' clothes.
Others didn't know what the emperor saw and why he looked so surprised.
Only Chu Jinglin lowered his head, as he was the only one who knew the magic of this telescope.
I didn't expect that it would be exposed in front of my father today.
Chu Jinglin sighed secretly, then glanced at Han Xiao out of the corner of his eye.
At this time, Han Xiao was still teaching the emperor how to adjust the telescope, and this time the emperor could see more clearly.
He excitedly grabbed the telescope and said to the eunuch beside him, "Dexi, go and capture the man in a green robe and the woman in a pink dress outside the temple."
After hearing what the emperor said, Eunuch Dexi looked outside the temple in confusion, wondering how the emperor knew who was outside the temple from such a long distance.
But since the emperor had said so, he had no choice but to do as he was told.
He personally took two young eunuchs with him to arrest the man.
The emperor paced anxiously, wanting to know if what he saw was real.
Eunuch Dexi worked quickly and brought the two of them over soon.
The man in the green robe followed Eunuch Dexi in with a look of panic. He heard that the emperor would come to Guoan Temple today, so the Guoan Temple was cleared from the beginning and no outsiders were allowed to enter.
He was reluctant to leave because he wanted to go on a date with his young lover, but he was so unlucky that he was discovered.
The woman in pink was also very frightened. She kept looking at her lover, wanting him to think of a solution.
When Dexi brought the two back, he was also very surprised. He didn't understand what kind of magic weapon the emperor had in his hand that could allow him to see so far away.
He took the two of them to the front hall. When they saw the emperor standing in the middle of the crowd, they both knelt on the ground with a thud, not daring to speak.
The emperor took a look at them and verified that what they saw through the telescope was real. He then walked up to the two of them and asked curiously, "What were you two arguing about just now?"
A telescope can only see images, but cannot hear sounds.
Although the emperor had already seen it, he now wanted to know why the two had been arguing outside the temple for so long.
Seeing that the two were still trembling and silent, Eunuch Dexi shouted sternly: "How dare you! You don't even answer the emperor's question!"
Hearing that it was the emperor, the man in green robe trembled even more violently, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I...I..."
After trembling for a long time without being able to utter a word, the emperor became impatient and said to the woman in pink, "You speak."
The woman in pink was no better than her lover. She secretly glanced at the emperor, swallowed her saliva and said, "Nothing, it's just that Liu Lang promised to marry me, but he has been dragging it on until now..."
The woman in pink was obviously embarrassed to speak up. Meeting with a man outside her family could be a big deal. If someone leaked it, her reputation would be ruined.
Thinking of this, the woman in pink bit her lip again, and a bold idea came to her mind.
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"
The emperor had already lost interest when he knew that this was a meeting between two illicit lovers, but he did not expect that this woman would be so bold and wanted him to make the decision.
The emperor asked with great interest, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
The emperor was in a very good mood now, and he did not blame the woman in pink for being so bold.
The pink-dressed woman kowtowed again and said firmly, "Liu Lang and I have been in love since childhood and were engaged. However, my family fell into poverty later, and Liu Lang's family..."
The woman in pink did not finish the rest of her words, but everyone present listened carefully.
The story was so melodramatic that Han Xiao shook his head as he listened. It turned out that drama comes from life.
Hearing the woman say this, the man in green looked at the woman in pink in disbelief. He had not expected that she would reveal what happened between them to the emperor.
The man in green robe now looked pale and collapsed to the ground.
After listening to the woman's story, the emperor waved his sleeves and said coldly to the man in green robes, "What about you? Do you have anything to say?"
The man in green robe was still in shock and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
The emperor frowned and said, "Waste."
The woman in pink was now completely disappointed with her Liu Lang. She didn't expect that even at this point, he wouldn't say anything for her.
The woman in pink seemed to have accepted her fate and no longer looked at Liu Lang.
When Eunuch Dexi saw that the emperor was displeased, he immediately sent someone to drag the two men away.
Suddenly the front hall became much quieter. The ministers who had just been forced to watch a farce all lowered their heads and did not look at the emperor.
"Forget it, Dexi. Go give some money to that girl later. Doesn't her lover despise her because her family is poor? I want to see what he chooses this time."
Dexi bowed and agreed, and immediately went to make arrangements.
Han Xiao looked at the emperor in surprise. In his impression, the emperor was a scumbag.
Didn’t you expect that he would help an ordinary woman?
No one could guess what the emperor was thinking, and he was still interested in the telescope.
This originally belonged to the Imperial Master, and the Emperor was a little hesitant to say how much he wanted, but he took it with no intention of returning it to the Imperial Master.
Han Xiao understood the emperor's thoughts and immediately bent down and said, "If Your Majesty likes this telescope, I have another one in my home that I can give to Your Majesty."
"Oh, really? You have another one at home, this telescope, right? Do you have many at home?" A fierce look flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he asked Han Xiao.
Han Xiao was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "It's not easy to make a telescope. I only have three. I gave one to the Imperial Master, one to Mr. Qinghe, and one is at my home."
Han Xiao has plenty of this stuff, but he can't tell anyone.
The emperor nodded and returned the telescope to the Imperial Master. Since Han Xiao still had it at home, he didn't need to be so shameless as to ask for it.
Anyway, he had never gotten anything from the Imperial Master, and he really liked this telescope.
As for the one from Mr. Qinghe, he was even more afraid to ask for it, after all, he was his teacher.
"Okay, I'll let Dexi get it. Tell me what reward you want?" The emperor was in a good mood now, and he looked at Han Xiao with much more favor.
Han Xiao's mouth curled up slightly. It turned out that this telescope was a good gift. No matter what, the emperor had to express his gratitude for the gift since he had given it to him.
Thinking of this, Han Xiao knelt down and said, "I have a request."
"Tell me what you want. As long as it's not excessive, I will agree to it."
"I haven't thought of a request yet. How about Your Majesty agree to one thing for me?"
When the emperor heard Han Xiao's request, his expression turned cold. He looked at Han Xiao straight, with emotions surging in his eyes.
