Tang Shiyue said: "You dug me out of the pickle jar. Could you please not tell anyone about this? This is too embarrassing. I hope no one will ever know!"
Yan Chengyuan said calmly: "Under the circumstances at that time, this move was extremely bold and careful. When others heard about it, they could only admire it."
"So what!" Tang Shiyue glared at him: "That doesn't change the fact that it was a pickle jar!"
Yan Chengyuan lowered his eyelashes: "I know, I won't tell you."
"Thank you then!" Tang Shiyue called him with a smile: "Daddy."
Yan Chengyuan's movements froze slightly.
His expression was still quite calm, as if she had called him eight hundred times a day, and he responded calmly, "Yeah."
Tang Shiyue wanted to laugh.
She didn't lie, she really liked people with this kind of personality, and thought they were very manly. But this kind of self-suffering personality was also very hard.
She said, "There is one more thing. Daddy."
...
...
He hummed again.
Tang Shiyue said seriously, "I guess since you said you found Yan Tingyue, you must have found evidence. Although Yan Tingyue hates me, she is not a fool. Since she has already withdrawn her head and no longer confronts me head-on, it is obviously unreasonable for her to hire someone to kill me. So there must be some opportunity that stimulated her."
Yan Chengyuan's expression became serious, "You mean, she already knows?"
"Maybe," Tang Shiyue said, "So when you are dealing with it, can you please not be too clear?"
"Why?" Yan Chengyuan asked seriously, "Who would she know from? Who are you covering up for?"
Tang Shiyue had no choice but to say, "I told my third brother the truth."
Yan Chengyuan's expression became stern: "Did Yan Shitu say that?"
Tang Shiyue pulled his sleeve and looked up at him: "Dad, this is just my guess. Third brother has a passionate personality. This kind of person is very persistent in love and hate, so he refused to even be perfunctory to Yan Tingyue. That's why he would be extremely happy to know that I'm not dead, and he might show it outwardly."
"He is not a person who doesn't take things seriously. He would never leak it intentionally, so this must be just an accident. If you explain it too clearly and make him think of something, he will know that he has accidentally hurt me, and he will be very sad."
She said seriously, "This is really totally unnecessary, because Yan Tingyue is obviously a scapegoat. She doesn't have the ability to do this. Strictly speaking, these people have nothing to do with her. So why bother making trouble?"
She tried so hard to convince him only for the sake of his third son.
Yan Chengyuan's expression slowly softened: "Okay."
Tang Shiyue breathed a sigh of relief and smiled widely. Then she opened her arms and hugged his waist: "Thank you, Daddy!"
His big hand gently pressed on her head.
After a while, she let go of his hand and smiled at him.
Yan Chengyuan curled his lips slightly, nodded, and walked away.
But Emperor Ming Yan did not wait for Yan Chengyuan to deal with it.
They are both king and subject, and brothers.
Although he scolded harshly when necessary and was not polite when punishment was due, in fact, he was always aware of his dilemma.
At the same time, he could no longer tolerate Yan Tingyue.
Before Yan Chengyuan returned home, the Empress Dowager's decree arrived at Prince An's mansion. She dismissed the servants and secretly announced the Empress Dowager's decree, accusing him of having an evil mind and destroying morals, and ordered him to practice meditation before the Buddha and not to leave without permission.
The old princess was stunned.
The charges in the imperial edict were very general and contained no specific accusations, but it alarmed the Empress Dowager and caused her to issue an imperial edict, which was no small matter!
Of course she wanted to find out.
The female official who announced the decree was about to say something, so she said, "A few days ago, there were bandits in Yinjing Lake who were killing people. Have you heard about this?"
The whole capital knew about this matter, so they naturally heard about it, but what did this have to do with Yan Tingyue?
The female official said, "This young lady in your house hired someone to kill someone in order to take the life of Lady Enfu County! Who knew that the matter would get out of hand and alarm the Saint, and then it would get out of control."
The old princess was stunned: "How is it possible! How could Tingyue know all this!"
"If you don't believe it, go ask her. The Queen Mother didn't spread the news out of consideration for the health of the prince and the reputation of the palace. I hope you will take care of yourself."
The female official withdrew and left.
That night, Yan Tingyue was sent to the ancestral temple.
Every family with a title has a family temple where they enshrine tablets of their ancestors and hold sacrifices on schedule.
But Prince An's Mansion is a direct branch of the royal family, so the ancestral temple only lights up the perpetual lights, and occasionally family members come to chant sutras and eat vegetarian food. Although it is not small and there are usually people to take care of it, but going there at this time would definitely be a suffering.
Smart people know that her superiors want her to suffer.
However, it is said that that night, Prince An's Mansion secretly sent four large carts of things to decorate the ancestral temple's wing rooms comfortably, perhaps even more comfortable than the mansion itself.
After hearing the news, Emperor Ming Yan just sneered.
Gu Jiuxing retreated silently and lit a row of candles for Princess An in his heart.
Not to mention that she is just an elder relative, even if she is my own mother, the affection between us cannot withstand such a drain.
To put it bluntly, I am giving you face, but you also have to be sensible. After causing such a big disaster, the culprit was only allowed to practice in the temple. This is really a special favor. Therefore, she must bear this sin, and she must bear it greatly.
As a result, they are trying to cover up their crimes by doing this. Do they really think that the people above them have no eyes?
Besides, isn't the old princess afraid of killing her second son by doing this? After all, the responsibility for this whole thing lies on Yan Chengyuan.
When Tang Shiyue heard about this, she was also very angry.
She really felt sorry for her two fathers.
The old princess really relied on the emperor's kindness and Yan Chengyuan's filial piety to do this! If she had thought about them a little, she would not have done such a ridiculous thing!
There is a saying that goes, "How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?" How big a disaster is it to cause trouble and kill people in the capital?
Either they don't mention Yan Tingyue at all and find someone else to take the blame, but if they do mention her, they can't let her off so easily, otherwise how can the royal family save face? How can they convince the public?
By doing this, the old princess is stepping on the emperor's face!
Tang Shiyue thought about it carefully and felt that this matter really needed to be handled by her, and it had to be done quickly.
Because Yan Chengyuan had to deal with it, needless to say, he was bound by filial piety, and even Emperor Ming Yan couldn't openly argue with an old woman, so he had to ask the empress dowager to issue an order. But the empress dowager couldn't just keep issuing orders!
Therefore, as the victim, it is most appropriate for her to step forward and deal with Yan Tingyue.
She took some time and took people to Xiaobei Mountain.
It was already the twelfth lunar month and the weather was very cold. She felt weak after her illness and the bandages on her hands have not been removed yet. If it weren't for "business", she would never go out.
Jia and his gang were protecting her openly and secretly, with five cars in front and behind. Tang Shiyue thought with a smile, she was surrounded by people, and she was quite arrogant...
Beishan is a large mountain range, and people are accustomed to calling the small hill facing the imperial city Xiaobeishan.
The ancestral temple of Prince An's Mansion is right on the side of the mountain and can be seen from a distance. Tang Shiyue got off the carriage wearing a thick cloak, and was a little scared when he saw that there were dozens of steps.
Ding Xiaoyan suddenly exclaimed: "Master!"
Tang Shiyue looked up and saw two people standing in front of the temple, seemingly arguing. One of them seemed to be Yan Tingyue.
She roared something, raised her hand suddenly, and pushed another person. The person had his back to the stairs and was caught off guard and rolled down immediately.
Tang Shiyue said anxiously: "Weibo!"
Ding Xiaoyan, Wei Bo and others had already rushed out.
Tang Shiyue also rushed over. Wei Bo had already grabbed the woman. Tang Shiyue bent down and helped her up: "Are you okay?"
The woman's forehead was covered with sweat due to the pain, and she whispered, "I'm fine, thank you..." She suddenly saw her face and her eyes widened in shock!
