After hearing from Linglong what happened today, Aunt Hua felt a little uneasy.
Now that Prince An is not in Chang'an, there is no one who can give advice to her young lady.
"Miss, Miss Chun'er..."
Aunt Hua is on duty tonight.
She made a bed on the floor next to the bed and after she had settled Zhao Yunzhu down, she heard the young lady turning over on the bed.
I know she might not be able to sleep tonight.
I just asked about something that has been on my mind.
After a long time, a sigh was heard.
"Right now, it's not convenient. I'm afraid that if we rashly send someone to move Chun'er away, the virtuous king will know where Chun'er is hiding. Now, everything can only be gambled."
Fortunately, when Chun'er was sent away, not many people knew about this.
"Mammy, go to bed early."
"Oh." Aunt Hua understood that the young lady didn't want to talk anymore, so she just lay down with the quilt covering her.
The next morning.
Zhao Yunzhu had only eaten half of her breakfast.
Someone came from the palace to take her in.
This time, it was the emperor who summoned her to the palace.
She heard from the eunuch that the virtuous king was in the main hall today, asking the emperor to make a decision and let Prime Minister Liu give the virtuous king an explanation, after all, the young master was found out from the Liu family.
Prime Minister Liu pushed a steward out from the Liu family.
The steward insisted that he did not know the young master. Because the steward was addicted to gambling, and seeing that the young master was alone, he became evil-minded and became a kidnapper for him.
I originally just wanted to blackmail you.
He never expected that the person he kidnapped was actually the young master of Prince Xian's Mansion.
The steward was so frightened that he had no choice but to hide the young master in a secret room in the back garden of the Liu family.
Outside the main hall.
Zhao Yunzhu took a deep breath before stepping into the hall.
The wise king's cold and sarcastic words fell into his ears.
"Prime Minister Liu, do you think you can get rid of me with just one person? Is Prime Minister Liu treating me like a fool?"
Prime Minister Liu had a sullen face and remained silent.
Only the steward, kneeling in the hall, kowtowed to the ground repeatedly, "Your Highness, this is all my fault. I was blinded by greed and committed a capital crime. I am willing to die. Please don't blame my master."
The steward begged as he crawled to the feet of the wise king, his forehead bruised and blue.
He reached out and tried to grab the wise king's robe.
The virtuous king kicked him away in disgust, "Who do you think you are? Don't dirty my robe. Get out!"
The steward was kicked hard in the chest and fell to the ground in pain.
"The emperor's sister-in-law is here." The emperor saw Zhao Yunzhu coming and spoke at the right time.
Zhao Yunzhu bowed.
"Did the Empress really see with her own eyes yesterday that the virtuous prince brought the young master back from Prime Minister Liu's house?"
Although the emperor was asking Zhao Yunzhu, his eyes were sweeping over all the officials in the hall.
Zhao Yunzhu lowered her eyes and spoke in a calm voice, "Your Majesty, yesterday the virtuous princess invited me to go back with her. Later, the carriage stopped at Prime Minister Liu's house, and I just learned that the virtuous princess took me to the Liu family to look for the young master."
"And the young master was indeed found in the back garden of Prime Minister Liu's house."
After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes and looked at the emperor.
The hall fell silent again.
"Thank you for the trouble, sister-in-law, to make this trip today."
Seeing that the effect was achieved, the emperor ordered the eunuch to send Zhao Yunzhu back.
Zhao Yunzhu couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart.
The effect the emperor wanted was to ask her to come to the palace and say this today.
Zhao Yunzhu just walked out of the hall.
Suddenly, Prime Minister Liu was heard kneeling in the hall, saying, "Your Majesty, I failed to manage my household properly, which is why my servants have caused such a disaster. I am willing to accept the punishment from the wise king!"
"Really?"
The virtuous prince sneered, his eyes filled with contempt and ridicule, "Your Majesty, since Prime Minister Liu has said so, I cannot disobey Prime Minister Liu's wishes."
"The virtuous king—" The emperor was shocked, fearing that the virtuous king would do something to hurt Prime Minister Liu, making it impossible to get out of this situation.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will not embarrass Prime Minister Liu."
The virtuous king smiled with a hint of coldness, "Since Prime Minister Liu said that everything was the steward's idea, then I think the steward should understand that harming the royal family is a capital crime."
"Little one, little one understands."
The steward kneeling in the hall had a pale face. He came here today without thinking that he could go back alive.
After saying this, he stood up and was about to hit the pillar, but was stopped by the virtuous king, "Don't worry, I will personally send you to see the King of Hell."
The virtuous king had the steward pinned to the ground and said, "Prime Minister Liu, please hand this steward's family over to me."
Prime Minister Liu and the steward all looked at the virtuous king, their eyes full of confusion.
"If anyone harms a member of the royal family, nine generations of the clan will be executed. This person in charge doesn't know this. Could it be that Prime Minister Liu has also forgotten?"
The steward looked at Prime Minister Liu with a dazed expression. He chose to be the scapegoat today just for the sake of his family. But if he lost even his family, what was the point of being a scapegoat?
"Why? Prime Minister Liu doesn't agree?"
The virtuous king folded his arms and glanced at Prime Minister Liu.
"good."
Prime Minister Liu glanced at the steward, his eyes full of warning.
The steward's body softened, knowing that Prime Minister Liu was about to abandon even his own family.
This was not the result he wanted. The manager came to his senses and struggled to clear the stigma from him.
But the virtuous king had already lost his patience. He didn't want to make the matter too big, which would make it difficult to end. He ordered, "Cover the man's mouth and nose and drag him away."
A dangerous situation that was almost unsolvable ended here.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Yunzhu, who was outside the hall, glanced at the steward who was dragged out.
