"I promise you." Tian Yingying said suddenly.
Zhao Huan was stunned: "What?"
"I promise you, I won't humiliate myself again. I will live well, and you should stop committing suicide. Lord Meng is a good man, he will definitely find a way to save your life. You must admit your mistake and say that you didn't mean to curse the emperor. Do you understand?"
Zhao Huan nodded hurriedly: "I understand, I understand very well."
Meng Gurao knew Tian Yingying. Han Zhongyong's death had made her remember this chaste woman. Furthermore, it was Tian Yingying who reported the case of the wealthy man Huang to the authorities. So when she escorted Zhao Huan to Kaifeng Prefecture, Meng Gurao personally met with her.
However, Meng Gu Rao was really shocked when he saw her. She had tied Zhao Huan's hands behind his back, and there were still traces of beatings on Zhao Huan's face.
Meng Gu Rao was shocked: "Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty! Shut up!" Zhao Huan interrupted Meng Gurao. "Are you an official from Kaifeng Prefecture? Don't say anything you shouldn't say. I committed a crime and was sent here by this girl."
Tian Yingying had always wondered how Zhao Xiaolong had managed to survive to this day. His words were incomprehensible, and his bossing around these court officials was simply courting death.
She poked Zhao Huan hard, hoping to shut him up, but Meng Gu Rao was surprisingly polite to him: "I wonder what you have done wrong, sir?"
This was very unlike Meng Gurao, who had always refused to bow to the powerful and acquiesce, so why was he suddenly so polite? Tian Yingying told her about Zhao Huan cursing the emperor in the street and pretending to be him.
Meng Gu Rao was somewhat embarrassed. He could see that Zhao Huan did not want the girl to know his true identity. "Impersonating His Majesty is a crime that can be serious or minor. I don't know what crime to sentence Young Master Zhao to. This official is a bit embarrassed."
Tian Yingying was delighted when she heard this: "Sir Meng, if he were caught by the Tiger Yasi, he would be beheaded. I know that Sir Meng is honest and upright, and since he is willing to admit his mistakes, please be lenient with him."
"No matter what mistake he made, Zhao Huan is a dog emperor. He killed Miss Tian's lover, so I scolded him, so what!" Zhao Huan said with his eyes wide open.
"You!" Tian Yingying was anxious: "You don't want to live anymore."
"Lord Meng, just make the judgment as it should be. Whoever messes with Miss Tian is messing with me." Zhao Huan said carelessly.
This man must be courting death. Tian Yingying originally wanted to send him here in the hope that she could save his life, but he chose to commit suicide on his own.
Meng Gu Rao coughed and said, "Well, Young Master Zhao insulted His Majesty and impersonated him. I will keep you here in Kaifeng Prefecture and then return to the palace to report to His Majesty for his decision. Miss Tian, you can go back first. If the people from the Tiger Yamen cause any trouble, you can blame me."
Tian Yingying wanted to say more, but Meng Gurao waved his hand and said, "Please invite Mr. Zhao to the rear residence. I want to interrogate him personally. You guys take Miss Tian back."
Back in the back hall, Meng Gurao asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, where have you been? Do you know that the palace is in turmoil?"
Zhao Huan smiled and said, "I feel bored and want to go out for a walk alone."
"Your Majesty, please follow me back to the palace immediately. If you don't go back, we will not be able to control the situation." Meng Gu said anxiously.
Zhao Huan shook his head: "I will not go back. I have a written order for you. Go back to the palace to appease the harem. I will go back after a few days."
Meng Gu Rao was shocked: "Your Majesty! There are so many things in the palace that need to be dealt with, how can you leave? You don't know that Empress Nangong is still pregnant. If something bad happens, Your Majesty..."
Zhao Huan was startled, having almost forgotten about Nangong Lian'er. He pulled the gold hairpin from his bosom and said, "Go back to the palace and give it to her. Tell her not to worry. I still have some things to attend to, and I'll naturally return after I'm done. You four regents will handle the affairs of state first."
Zhao Huan still had a lot of shit to deal with. He still couldn't forget Tian Yingying. He wanted to go back to Laifu Inn.
"Well, Your Majesty, where can I find you? How do you know Miss Tian? And your eyes..."
Zhao Huan was a little embarrassed. It was obvious that he had been beaten. "Well, if you have anything, come to Laifu Inn to find me. Remember, you can't reveal my identity." At this point, Zhao Huan's heart moved: "Go and call Linghu Yunlong to me. Ask him to protect me secretly. Apart from him, no one can tell him where I am, especially Nangong Lian'er. Remember, remember!"
Meng Gu Rao heard what he said was serious and bowed, saying, "I obey your order!"
When Tian Yingying returned to Laifu Lane, the people from Hu Yasi were still waiting for her. The team leader sneered, "Miss Tian, where did that person go? You're so bold, you actually dared to protect a criminal. Come with us to Hu Yasi!"
Tian Yingying didn't even look at him: "I escorted that man to Kaifeng Prefecture. If you want to arrest me, go to Kaifeng Prefecture and talk to Lord Meng!"
Kaifeng Prefecture had oversight over the Tiger Yasi. Besides the emperor, the Tiger Yasi feared Kaifeng Prefecture the most. They wouldn't dare to kill them, so the team leader clasped his fists and led his men away.
"Sir, what about my reward?" An Liangshi next to him still couldn't forget the reward for his report.
The team leader kicked him away and said, "Go to Kaifeng Prefecture!"
Tian Yingying was extremely worried, wondering what had become of Zhao Xiaolong, the suicidal man. She knew he was in grave danger, having cursed the Emperor in Kaifeng Prefecture. Even Meng Guruo was afraid he couldn't protect him.
I remembered what he said to me: You shouldn't live like this. Han Zhongyong's spirit in heaven also hopes that you can live happily.
Could this person be sent by Han Lang? Han Lang, Han Lang, Tian Yingying gently called out the name of her beloved, tears wetting her cheeks again.
