"When I see the Emperor, I will definitely punish you!" Liu Ruyan said with displeasure, not expecting that Eunuch Liu's expression would change so quickly.
"That would require you to have the opportunity to see the Emperor, but the Emperor will not see you now. Just give up on that idea." Eunuch Liu didn't take Liu Ruyan's arrogance to heart at all.
The Emperor did not say in the imperial edict that Liu Ruyan should become a military prostitute, but aren't all the women of the Liu family supposed to become military prostitutes?
"Someone, escort Lady Liu to the Imperial Clan Court to reunite with the Liu family!" Eunuch Liu instructed the guards behind him as he looked at Liu Ruyan.
"You can't! I'm the Emperor's concubine!" Liu Ruyan hadn't expected that this eunuch would dare to send her directly to the Imperial Clan Court. What kind of place was that?
That's a place only ministers who have committed serious crimes would go.
Liu Ruyan couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
Could it be that the Emperor knows what she did?
impossible!
“Madam Liu, there’s something else. All the women of the Liu family have been forced into prostitution, and you are no exception!” After saying this, Eunuch Liu gestured for the woman to be taken away.
"Damn eunuch, you must be talking nonsense!" Liu Ruyan shouted angrily.
"Cover his mouth, don't let it stink, it'll offend others!" Eunuch Liu said with a dark face, clearly displeased by Liu Ruyan's words.
He was indeed a rootless eunuch, but he wouldn't tolerate Liu Ruyan humiliating him.
Xu Heming and Li Tianyou noticed that there was no one else around them.
“Prince An, things may not be peaceful in the capital from now on. I would like to send Zhiwei back to Li’an County,” Li Tianyou said as he walked.
Back to Li'an County?
Xu Heming's first reaction was that he was unwilling.
However, he soon recalled the Emperor's attitude in the Imperial Study earlier that day.
In the days to come, both Li Tianyou and I will probably be quite busy.
If someone were to resort to desperate measures and try to use Li Zhiwei as leverage, they would be in a very passive position.
Neither he nor Li Tianyou wanted to see this side of things.
“My mother-in-law lives alone in Li’an County. It’s only right that Zhiwei goes back to keep her company,” Xu Heming said after thinking for a moment.
I felt a little regretful that I couldn't leave; otherwise, I would have personally accompanied Li Zhiwei to pick her up.
“Well, Qing Shi is currently at the manor, so why don’t we let him go with us? As for the old princess…” Li Tianyou originally wanted to suggest that Xu Heming properly take care of the old princess, since she was getting old and it was impossible to send anyone to Li’an County as well.
“My mother has people protecting her. No ordinary person would dare to touch her.” Xu Heming was well aware of the old princess’s safety. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to serve the emperor with such peace of mind all these years.
"That's good then." Li Tianyou nodded. This matter was tricky, and if not handled properly, it could even lead to his death.
"Father-in-law, I've arranged for someone to escort Zhiwei and the others away. Also, I'll arrange for two more people to stay by your side." Xu Heming naturally understood that he also needed to have people protect Li Tianyou as he went to handle his business.
Li Tianyou wanted to say no, that Zhou Tong was enough for him, and that Zhou Tong was no ordinary servant; he was also quite skilled.
“Father-in-law, with Zhiwei gone, I am your future son-in-law, and also your half-son. This matter will be decided by me, your half-son. Besides, this is also the Emperor's will, and your safety is of utmost importance,” Xu Heming said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Li Tianyou, who had originally intended to refuse, shut his mouth. Fine, having two more people to protect him wouldn't be a bad thing.
Li'an County
"Heng'er!" Madam Yao looked at her nephew with joy, her eyes brimming with tears of excitement.
