Wei Xin said carefully: "His original words were 'hook and hook', but the Marquis would never do that! Master, please don't be angry!"
"Hmm?" Yan Shiyue raised an eyebrow: "Where's Jiahe?"
Jiahe carefully popped his head out and saluted at the door: "Master."
"Go ahead."
Jiahe said, "The lady of the Guangcheng Marquis's mansion is called Zhao Xiangning. It is said that she went to see the Marquis a few days ago and gave him a rubbing of the Jiucheng Palace Liquan Inscription, asking him to give it to the master. Last night, the Marquis met her while he was on patrol. She said that she got lost because she was looking at the moonlight, so she asked the Marquis to take her back. The Marquis then appointed two Yulin soldiers to take her back. These were the only two times."
Yan Shiyue nodded: "Now?"
"Captain Lin had a fight with him, and then was sent to the imperial physician. The Marquis made his rounds as usual, saying and doing nothing."
Yan Shiyue nodded.
After a while, Ma Yi came over and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor has sent you over."
Yan Shiyue nodded, changed her clothes and went over. When she hurriedly entered the room, she saw many adults in the hall. When they saw her, they all looked over.
...
...
Emperor Ming Yan also looked at her expression and asked: "Have you had breakfast?"
"No," Yan Shiyue said, "I just woke up!"
Then one of them asked, "Have you heard about what happened this morning, Prime Minister?"
She asked with a puzzled look, "What's the matter?"
When they heard that she didn't know, everyone else immediately perked up and started talking about the matter. Yan Shiyue looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, are you all here for this?"
Then she looked at Emperor Mingyan in surprise: "Aye, it turns out that my Great Yan has become so peaceful and prosperous?"
Everyone: “…”
The faces of the old men were really painful.
This sentence was too harsh, and it was like asking them a question in their faces: You are officials appointed by the imperial court, and there are so many things going on in the world, but you all come to care about this bullshit going on in other people's courtyard?
Prince Yu smiled wryly and said, "The Prime Minister is quite calm."
Lin Fujian smiled and said, "Your Majesty is of noble status, and you are also a genius with great fortune. I am afraid that the gods in heaven would also be willing to marry you. Why don't you just calmly accept it?"
Liu Zhongqing also said: "It's just that the young lady of Lord Guangcheng's family must be very eager to get married. She went to admire the moon in the middle of the night. I don't know if she was admiring the moon or the person."
Prince Yu’s face turned dark.
Anyway, no matter how this matter is resolved, this young lady's reputation is ruined. The key point is that she is from the Guangcheng Marquis's Mansion, and it happened at this time.
Prince Yu laughed and said, "It takes two to clap. How can anyone know if this was an appointment?"
Yan Shiyue smiled calmly and said, "Your Majesty is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"Who said that one hand can't clap? How about I take the trouble to slap you and see if it makes any sound?"
Prince Yu was furious and said, "You..."
At this moment, the eunuch outside came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Guangcheng went to apologize to Lord Jinrong, and the Lord cut off half of his beard."
Emperor Ming Yan held his forehead and asked, "What's going on?"
Guangcheng Bo was also a cunning man. He knew that he could not admit this, so he went to Huo Qijing to explain. He meant that his daughter's moon-watching had caused misunderstanding and had inadvertently affected Huo Qijing's reputation, so he came to apologize.
But although Huo Qijing is a straight man, he is not stupid.
He knew that since the matter had already been exposed, there had to be a result; the longer it was delayed, the more unclear it would become.
So when Guangcheng Bo said "I'll leave it to you, Lord Marquis", he immediately drew his sword and quickly shaved off half of his beard.
Then he held up his knife and said that he would not marry anyone other than Yan Shiyue in this life, and he would never have two lovers. If there was another woman with ulterior motives approaching him, he would directly challenge the men in her family. If there was a father, he would find his father; if there was an elder brother, he would find his elder brother; if there was a husband, he would find his husband. This time, because it was a misunderstanding, he would only shave his beard. If there was a next time, no matter if it was a misunderstanding or not, no matter who the other party was, he would fight to the death.
What do you mean by a life-and-death fight? Is it equivalent to asking for your life?
Huo Qijing is worthy of being Huo Qijing, he solved the problem very quickly and efficiently.
Yan Shiyue had a smile on her face, but the others felt a little weird.
Especially Prince Yu, he had just said that one slap does not make a sound, Huo Qijing told him with iron facts that the other party was really wishful thinking and the slap made a sound.
Prince Yu said coldly, "My body and hair are given by my parents, and Marquis Jinrong cuts them off just like that. He is really amazing."
"You're too kind." Yan Shiyue said, "Master Guangcheng has already said that we can leave it to him, so why is he still being polite? If he continues to be polite, others will think he is a soft persimmon. What will he do if all kinds of people come?"
Prince Yu said, "Your Excellency is very eloquent. I am willing to admit defeat. I wonder if Your Excellency is as sharp in his work as he is in his words. I heard that the matter at hand has been shelved for two days. I wonder when there will be a result?"
Yan Shiyue said: "How can we make a final decision based on just one person's words? We need to investigate further."
Prince Yu wanted to speak again, but Emperor Mingyan stopped him: "Okay, if you have nothing else to say, go down!"
Everyone immediately stopped talking and saluted: "Yes."
As soon as he left, Yan Shiyue snorted, "Damn old man!"
Emperor Mingyan said, "How about I change one for you?"
She turned back to look at him speechlessly, and Emperor Mingyan said, "Although you handled it smartly later, you were really stupid before that. You couldn't even see through this trick!"
Yan Shiyue smiled and said, "Father, come to think of it, you said before that we would get married next year?"
Emperor Mingyan said calmly, "Ten years is still a new year!"
Yan Shiyue: “…”
She happily went over to hug his arm and rubbed it: "I know Aye can't bear to leave me."
Emperor Ming Yan's expression suddenly became serious, and he touched her head: "I really can't bear to let her go." He paused and said: "Let's talk about it after the New Year."
She asked: "What month after the New Year?"
Emperor Mingyan immediately withdrew his hand: "If you ask again, I will turn it ten years!"
Perhaps he knew he was in the wrong, so Emperor Mingyan quickly changed the subject: "How is the investigation going?"
"Oh!" Yan Shiyue said, "I already have an idea in my mind. I've pissed off Prince Yu today. I guess his next move will come soon. We'll be able to confirm it then."
Emperor Ming Yan nodded.
Yan Shiyue came out with his hands behind his back after a while.
Huo Qijing was waiting outside the door. There were still ministers outside and they were probably looking at her, so Yan Shiyue stretched out her hand generously, and the two of them walked away holding hands.
As soon as there was no one in front of her, Yan Shiyue wanted to shake her hand away, but Huo Qijing held on tightly, feeling a little aggrieved: "I don't even know her."
Yan Shiyue still looked calm on the surface, and complained: "Where's your brain? Is there something that I can't give myself? Why do I have to ask you for it? If I had known that the rubbing was made by her, I would not want it!"
Huo Qijing said: "I didn't think much about it."
He coaxed her softly: "Don't be angry, it won't happen again."
Yan Shiyue was a little angry at first, but after hearing the follow-up, she was no longer angry. She just snorted and said, "I asked my father when we can get married, and he said that ten years later is also the next year."
Huo Qijing paused.
He frowned and said, "Your Majesty has spoken with all his might, how can you go back on your word so easily?"
