Chapter 355 She came to receive the punishment, I like vulgar
Ji Qingwu tilted his head slightly and saw a dazzling bright yellow appear before his eyes.
Behind him was the rising sun, the jade beads on his crown were still swaying gently, and his whole body was glowing.
I wish the cold light in his eyes could be as warm as the sunshine.
Without waiting for Ji Qingwu to react, Xiao Dongzi beside her suddenly jumped back, wishing he could be ten meters away from her, and then quickly fell to the ground to see him.
"Your servant kowtows to His Majesty."
There were two people following Emperor Wu Su.
One is the inseparable Li Yuzong, and the other is the person she mentioned just now, Duan Mingfeng.
Zhao Mingyan's gaze swept across her coldly, and then he glanced at Duan Mingfeng behind him on the right before he stepped into the hall.
Xiao Dongzi hurriedly stood up and spoke to Ji Qingwu, but his mouth was shouting towards the hall.
"You said you came here specifically to see the Emperor! Come in!"
Ji Qingwu didn't remember saying this.
But if she wanted to go to the imperial prison now, going to Emperor Wu Su would be the fastest and safest way. But would he agree?
After hesitating for a moment, Ji Qingwu still walked in.
She found that Emperor Wu Su was discussing something with Duan Mingfeng. He looked very focused and was not distracted at all by her coming in.
Ji Qingwu didn't know where to stand in this spacious hall, so he found a place to stand against the wall that was not in the way.
After she lowered her head, Zhao Mingyan's eyes would occasionally drift over Duan Mingfeng's shoulders.
The pace of his speech also quickened, and he kept on talking and made things short, explaining everything very quickly.
Duan Mingfeng said respectfully: "I will obey your orders and hand over the corresponding evidence to the emperor within three days."
Zhao Mingyan nodded. Duan Mingfeng had already understood the "superior's intention" and walked out of the hall without delay, as fast as a gust of wind.
When Ji Qingwu heard footsteps, she looked up and opened her lips, but Lord Duan had disappeared. She could only close her lips again in disappointment. She decided to wait until she left the hall before asking Duan Mingfeng about it.
There was no one else in the Qinzheng Hall. Zhao Mingyan was leaning back in the dragon chair, his posture a bit lazy, and he looked straight at her.
They are truly mother and son. Ji Qingwu stood exactly where Yuan Heng had been punished to stand last night.
Perhaps for convenience, she also changed into the dress of a maid in Prince Yong's mansion. The hem of the skirt did not have complicated patterns, just a simple watercolor color.
Ji Qingwu stood neatly and straight up, like a new lotus blooming on the wall of the Qinzheng Hall.
This "new lotus" feels a little guilty.
Ever since Duan Mingfeng left, Ji Qingwu felt someone's gaze scanning him carefully from head to toe.
Ji Qingwu's whole body tensed up as she recalled the disrespectful words she had said last night in order to protect Yuan Heng.
Without the little one around, she felt less motivated.
Ji Qingwu held on for a while, but still couldn't hold on.
She took the initiative to walk to the center of the hall, stopped at the steps of the imperial desk, and looked up at him.
Almost the moment she raised her head, Zhao Mingyan said, "What's the matter? Why are you waiting for me at the door so early in the morning?"
There was surprise in Ji Qingwu's eyes. How could he be waiting anxiously? He must have seen it wrong.
She pursed her lips, put aside other things, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty should not punish Heng'er, right?"
When she came closer, Zhao Mingyan stopped looking at her and said calmly, "You came here for this."
Ji Qingwu shook her head and said, "After asking this, there is another thing." She asked again with concern, "Is His Majesty really going to punish Heng'er?"
The two faces, one big and one small, overlapped in his memory. Zhao Mingyan said with emotion, "You still care about Yuan Heng. He is much less troublesome than you. He admitted his mistakes very well after returning to the palace. I didn't punish him."
After getting a positive answer, Ji Qingwu felt relieved: "That's good."
Zhao Mingyan picked up the topmost book on his right hand and said casually, "What's good about it? It's not a good thing for you."
For her? Not a good thing?
Ji Qingwu was suspicious of his words. He followed his movements and noticed that the emperor's desk was almost filled with memorials.
Zhao Mingyan lowered his eyes and glanced at the contents of the memorial, then slammed it on the table with a gloomy face, not knowing what was written in it.
These memorials were reviewed by Su Fengyue in the Secretariat some time ago. Lu Juan stayed up all night to sort them out and placed them neatly on the far right side of the imperial desk.
It is estimated that there are more than a hundred volumes, all of which need to be re-examined and re-sentenced.
The emperor, burdened with heavy political pressure, was bound to feel a little irritated, but if he took a closer look at the people walking down the stairs, he would calm down a lot.
Ji Qingwu was really confused and asked softly, "What does your majesty mean? Why is Heng'er not being punished? Isn't this a good thing for me?"
Even just listening to her voice, Zhao Mingyan felt a lot calmer.
He picked up the memorial he had read and said in a cold tone, "Do you want to protect Yuan Heng?"
Ji Qingwu blinked a few times. What was the connection between his question and his answer?
She didn't understand, but nodded: "Of course I want to protect Heng'er."
Zhao Mingyan caught a glimpse of her eyes, which were bright and flickering. Even though he had a gloomy face at the moment, she showed no fear.
I'm getting bolder and bolder.
"If Yuan Heng makes any mistakes, they will be blamed on you, and you will be the one to take the punishment."
Hearing this, the light in Ji Qingwu's eyes dimmed instantly, and his handsome lips slightly arched. It was not difficult to tell that he was criticizing him in his heart.
Ji Qingwu was indeed indignant. No wonder Emperor Wu Su did not punish the little girl. It turned out that he was waiting for her.
But how can a mother be punished for a son’s mistake? Isn’t this going against the will of Heaven?
But this unequal treaty was too attractive to her, and she always wanted to protect Yuan Heng to make up for the shortcomings of so many years.
Besides, the little guy is so sensible, what trouble can he get into...
Ji Qingwu did not think any more, he straightened his chest and raised his head, and said in a crisp voice: "Yes! As long as your majesty keeps his word."
Zhao Mingyan lowered his eyes, took a wolf-hair brush from the pen holder, dipped it in red ink, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
He wrote a few words on the letter, threw it to the left, and opened another one.
Ji Qingwu saw that Emperor Wu Su was only concerned with the affairs at hand and ignored her.
"Is this a deal that can be done just by talking about it? Your Majesty, don't you want to write something?"
Ji Qingwu paused, and said with a slightly evasive look: "Your Majesty has so many memorials to review, so I won't bother you to write to me. Otherwise...give me a token of your love."
Zhao Mingyan raised his eyebrows in surprise and stopped writing with his pen in suspension.
"What does Ah Wu want?"
Ji Qingwu said: "Your Majesty's jade pendants, sachets and the like that you usually wear are all fine."
Zhao Mingyan put down the red brush and said, "Isn't what I gave you enough? You still want those vulgar things."
Ji Qingwu thought about it and realized that Emperor Wu Su had given him a lot of good things, such as the glowing red lotus beads and the green jade ring, which were both priceless treasures.
However, no one knew that these two things belonged to the emperor, so she couldn't take them outside to "borrow the emperor's power", as they were of no use.
Ji Qingwu said with sparkling eyes: "I like vulgarity. The most vulgar is the most elegant."
