Chapter 354 When will your emperor leave the court?
"I'll take my leave."
When there was no one else in the hall, Zhao Mingyan rubbed his tense forehead.
Apart from lifting Yuan Heng tonight, he recalled when was the last time he hugged Yuan Heng.
It was when Yuan Heng was still in swaddling clothes, a baby who cried non-stop.
This little guy is a lot like his mother, not in appearance, but in temperament. He is just a timid little crybaby.
He also likes to cling to people. If you are nice to him, he will hold your arms and won't let go, and will hold you and coax you wherever you go.
But he is a prince, and the last thing he should have is weakness.

Ji Qingwu took "Chang Lu" to Prince Yong's Mansion.
She planned to follow the plan of the man behind the scenes and continue to act to see what tricks he was going to play.
In Jinmoju, the lights have never been turned off since Prince Yong left.
As soon as the news came back from the palace that Prince Yong was detained in the imperial prison, Ji Qingwu arrived at the palace.
Tao Wanyin walked over and held Ji Qingwu's hand.
He said anxiously, "Qingwu, do you know what the prince did wrong? Why was he locked up for no reason?"
Half an hour ago, Prince Yong was summoned away by the eunuchs in the palace, saying only that there was an urgent matter. Unexpectedly, something big happened.
Ji Qingwu led her to the chair and said, "Princess, please sit down first. Don't be anxious. Listen to me."
Tao Wanyin didn't understand political affairs, but she knew that the imperial prison was where serious criminals were detained. She felt suffocated and terrified just by imagining the scene.
"I can't help but be anxious. The Imperial Prison is not a place for human beings. What if the prince is tortured? What should I do..."
Ji Qingwu pressed her down on the chair and said, "Prince Yong was in charge of the trial of Su Fengyue's case. He was very cruel to him and almost killed Su Fengyue. However, before he could get his confession, the emperor was furious and locked Prince Yong up as well."
Tao Wanyin was stunned and didn't understand why Prince Yong hated Prime Minister Su so much.
She asked, "Qingwu, where did you hear this news? Is it true?"
Ji Qingwu said: "It should be true. This is what Eunuch Chang Lu told me."
Seeing "Chang Lu" behind her nod, the last bit of hope in Tao Wanyin's heart was completely extinguished.
Tao Wanyin has no family, and now the only person she can rely on, Prince Yong, has gotten into trouble. She is panicked, and her mood only improves when she sees Ji Qingwu.
As Ji Qingwu spoke, she looked at the servants in the room, but didn't see anyone acting strangely. She was about to go to the door to take a look when Tao Wanyin grabbed her sleeve.
"Qingwu, can you stay with me for a while? I'm very scared."
Ji Qingwu nodded. This was what she meant.
For the next two hours, Tao Wanyin couldn't fall asleep when she lay down, and felt anxious when she sat up. She was in constant torment.
Ji Qingwu and "Chang Lu" looked at each other, and he went outside the door to investigate the situation in Prince Yong's Mansion. She fell into a short nap in a daze again.
When the sky was just getting light.
As soon as Ji Qingwu woke up, he saw Tao Wanyin looking uneasy and sighed.
Tao Wanyin said with red eyes: "I'm still worried, I want to pass a sign to go into the palace to take a look, Qingwu, can you go with me?"
Ji Qingwu did not refuse and simply said, "Okay."
Seeing that she agreed so readily, Tao Wanyin was a little embarrassed to speak: "I, I actually have selfish motives..."
"I think you might be able to help His Majesty with Su Fengyue's condition."
If Su Fengyue really can't make it, Prince Yong will suffer as well.
Ji Qingwu pinched his fingers and lowered his eyes in thought.
That person brought her to Prince Yong's Mansion not because he wanted to do anything to her in the mansion, but because he wanted her to save Su Fengyue?

Because of Ji Qingwu's special identity, she dressed up as a maidservant of Princess Yong, and together with Chang Lu and the other two, accompanied Tao Wanyin into the palace.
Several people were stopped at the gate of the imperial prison.
Even though Princess Yong was a member of the royal family, she could not enter the imperial prison to visit at will. She had to obtain a token from the emperor.
Tao Wanyin's hopes were dashed. She asked the guards at the gate about Prince Yong's situation, but they kept their mouths shut and refused to reveal anything.
Ji Qingwu said: "Princess, please wait here. I'm going to go out for a while."
Tao Wanyin asked worriedly, "Qingwu, do you have a solution?"
Ji Qingwu shook his head and said, "I don't have any good ideas. I plan to try my luck."
"Try your luck?"
Ji Qingwu smiled at her soothingly, "Yes, let's see if we can pick up any tokens."
She bumped into the entrance of Qinzheng Hall.
Emperor Wu Su had not returned from the morning court session and Li Yuzong was not there either. Only Xiao Dongzi was guarding the door.
When he saw the girl in pink skirt appear in front of him, he thought it was a maid from some palace who didn't know the way, so he waved his whisk and was about to scold her and send her away.
"How could you be so blind! Can't you see where this place is——"
"Oh my Miss Ji!" Xiao Dongzi's expression changed instantly, and he asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"
After I asked, he finally responded and patted the back of his head and said, "Are you here to pick up the child?"
Ji Qingwu said, "Why are you speaking louder than Eunuch Li? Speak softly. I am entering the palace secretly."
She covered her lips with her hand and asked softly, "When will your emperor leave court?"
It turned out that they were looking for the emperor, Xiao Dongzi corrected him with a grin.
"It's our emperor."
Then he continued, "Today is the first morning court session after the Emperor woke up, so it should take a while. Why don't you go in and wait. When the Emperor leaves the court, I will be the first to go in and inform you."
Ji Qingwu felt relieved when he heard that Emperor Wu Su would not be returning for the time being.
She didn't have time to beat around the bush with him, so she asked directly, "Is there any way to get into the Imperial Prison?"
Xiao Dongzi said in surprise: "Don't go into that place, it will pollute your eyes."
Ji Qingwu said, "I came here with the Princess of Yong. She was really worried about Prince Yong being locked up, so she wanted to go in and take a look. She's pregnant, and if something really happens, this is the heir of the royal family."
Xiao Dongzi glanced around and whispered, "Miss Ji, Prince Yong will be fine in prison. Please tell Princess Yong to go back without worry. I can't tell you more about the inside story here."
Ji Qingwu's eyes flickered, and he asked, "What if I want to go in and take a look?"
Xiao Dongzi asked, "Do you really have to go in?"
Ji Qingwu moved closer and asked, "Yes, is there any good solution?"
The two of them seemed to be plotting something together.
Xiao Dongzi said awkwardly: ".......The person in charge of the case now is Duan Shisi, he has the right to go in."
Ji Qingwu patted Xiao Dongzi on the shoulder and said, "I understand. I'll go find Master Duan."
"Who are you going to see?"
"Looking for Duan Mingfeng..." Ji Qingwu said, then realized that the voice was wrong.
The voice was cold and low, different from the eunuch's shrill voice, and it came from behind her.
Ji Qingwu's hand was still on Xiao Dongzi's shoulder, and he did not withdraw it.
