Chapter 248 Lock Them Up
"Xiao Yanjing and Li Zhiyao are young and immature, but they are young people, sometimes they can't help themselves and do things like that. If you think about it, it's understandable."
The emperor coughed.
He did feel a little guilty about what he said, but what else could he do?
"It was in that kind of place, and it had a bad impact. Many people saw it, and it also implicated Yuerong Tower. In a sense, Yuerong Tower suffered an unprovoked disaster."
Xiao Lanyuan really admired the emperor. The ability to lie with open eyes was something that not everyone could possess.
He actually took out Yuerong Tower completely.
He also said that Xiao Yanjing and Li Zhiyao were in love with each other and couldn't help themselves.
I can't help myself.
Xiao Lanyuan asked calmly, "It seems that Prince Xiao and Divine Doctor Li have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. I suggest that they be beheaded."
puff!
The father-in-law next to him almost burst into tears.
He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. If he laughed out loud because of something like this in front of the Emperor and Prince Jun, he would be beheaded first.
The emperor's mouth was twitching.
Just now he was asked to fire the minister, and now he is asked to kill Prince Xiao and Doctor Li!
"Lan Yuan, don't joke about this kind of thing." He finally found his voice.
Xiao Lanyuan was serious.
"I'm not kidding, because the truth of the matter is not like this. A low-level drug was used in Yuerong Tower, and someone led Zhao Ning there. Xiao Yanjing and Li Zhiyao were led there one after another later."
"If Zhao Ning hadn't been so smart and hadn't come out as soon as she smelled something wrong, she would have been the one in trouble and her reputation would have been ruined. So, this is a vicious frame-up against Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning is my princess, and the other party has the courage to frame my princess. Doesn't he deserve death for his crime?"
"Moreover, Yuerong Tower couldn't have been completely unaware of this matter. After all, Madam Rongyue also arrived in time. It was really a coincidence. I only sealed the tower instead of killing people on the spot. I was already doing this for the emperor's sake."
The emperor's head was buzzing.
Just now he wanted Xiao Lanyuan to be more frugal with words, but now listening to him speaking one paragraph at a time, he felt that it would be better to be frugal with words.
This really made his head hurt.
“This matter…”
It is really difficult for the emperor to say this.
But Xiao Lanyuan didn't let him continue speaking, he had already stood up.
"Your Majesty is very busy, so you can no longer worry about Prince Jun's Mansion. I can handle this matter myself. Your Majesty, Yuerong Tower has been sealed."
"Lan Yuan..."
The emperor looked at him and saw him about to leave, and called out again anxiously.
"Excuse me."
Xiao Lanyuan walked out without looking back.
The emperor was so angry that he almost fell down.
"Hold me, hold me!"
His father-in-law came over quickly to support him.
He was clearly just sitting there, but he was so angry that he could hardly sit still.
"Xiao Lanyuan is so arrogant! So crazy! He doesn't take me seriously at all!"
The emperor took a deep breath, picked up an inkstone and smashed it towards the door.
The inkstone was completely broken into pieces.
But this could not calm the emperor's anger.
Dragon Shadow Guard, he will take Dragon Shadow Guard back sooner or later!
"Are those two people from the noble families coming soon?"
In addition to Master Chi Chen who had already given the token to Prince Jun, there were two other family heads who were on their way to escort the token to the capital.
Baqinhu family.
Mucheng Qing family.
The emperor also wanted to wait until the two tokens were collected and the map was opened to find out what the emperor had hidden for Prince Jun.
Originally, after he knew that it was the other two families, he thought about sending people to intercept them first. As long as he got the three tokens, it would be enough.
However, Master Chi Chen didn’t know whether it was because he knew this possibility that he gave the token to Prince Jun first.
Prince Jun also had the Dragon Shadow Guards. The emperor guessed that he had already sent the Dragon Shadow Guards to secretly pick up the two family heads.
In this case, it would not be so easy for him to stop Dai in advance, so he might as well protect both families, and wait until all the things are gathered, and then he will find a way to get them.
"Your Majesty, the old patriarch of the Hu family should be able to enter the capital within three days, and the people of the Hu family branch have already left the city to welcome him. As for the Qing family in Mucheng, there is no news yet, but the secret guards reported that they are likely to come secretly in disguise."
The head of the Qing family probably wanted to hide his whereabouts to avoid any accidents along the way.
"Keep a constant watch on the four major city gates. Don't let your guard down," said the emperor.
"yes."
The emperor thought about having to tell the queen about the result of today's meeting with Xiao Lanyuan, and suddenly he felt a headache again.
He didn't even know how to tell the emperor!
Does that mean he, the emperor, can't influence Prince Jun?
"Go..." He said two words, and then changed the subject, "Go to the Queen Mother."
The emperor went to see the empress dowager, who said she had a headache and sent him back.
After the emperor left, the empress dowager sat up, sighed softly, and asked the nanny beside her, "Have the people from the Hu family and the Qing family arrived?"
She was also waiting for people from those two families.
"Replying to Your Majesty, it will be soon. It should happen in the next few days."
"Alas, I don't know what the emperor left for Lan Yuan. When he gets the token, will he be able to protect it?"
"Queen Dowager, Prince Jun doesn't look incompetent. I guess he has made all the necessary preparations these days, so nothing will happen to him." Nanny comforted.
Everyone thought that the Queen Mother hated Prince Jun, even the Emperor and the Empress thought so, but in fact, the Queen Mother loved Prince Jun very much and felt sorry for him.
If the Queen Mother had not secretly protected Prince Jun when he was young, it would have been impossible for him to live safely until now.
Moreover, it was the Queen Mother who approached the abbot of Youqing Peak and got him to agree to let Prince Jun live in Youqing Peak to recuperate.
Not everyone can live in Youqing Peak. The master of Youqing Peak is a mysterious person. Emperors of various countries treat him with great respect, and no one dares to act recklessly.
With his protection, Prince Jun has gradually gotten better over the years.
"I hope so."
The Queen Mother thought of Xiao Yanjing and Li Zhiyao again.
"Grant them a marriage and let them get married within three days."
"yes."
Let's lock them up quickly and don't let them come out to harm Fu Zhaoning again.
"Queen Mother, it seems that you like Princess Jun very much."
The last time Princess Jun entered the palace, she didn't say a word to please the Queen Mother, and maybe she was convinced, like everyone else, that the Queen Mother hated Prince Jun, so Princess Jun was not really polite to the Queen Mother.
But even so, the Queen Mother was still determined to seek justice for Fu Zhaoning.
"Yes, that child looks like he has clear eyes and a temper, but he is also capable, generous and open-minded. How can anyone not like him?"
The Queen Mother thought of Fu Zhaoning's bright face and laughed again, "It seems that Lan Yuan likes that girl."
