Xiao Lingzi pushed him hard and roared irritably,

"Go quickly. She will be far away in a while. You can't catch her even if you want to. If she can't get over it, you will regret it if something happens again."

His words frightened Zhang Yuan to the point of trembling. Although he was angry with Wu Xiaoyun for lying to her, he still loved her in his heart. Over the years, she had coaxed his mother to be happy every day and took care of the house.

It was extremely clean, and when she was there, there were sweet and delicious meals on the table every meal. Even if she shouldn't have lied to him, the princess said she would put it aside in advance, so what reason did he have to keep blaming her?

What if...what if she really can't think about it and does something?

Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up, took big steps, and ran towards the door like crazy.

Looking at his back, Xiao Ningzi sighed and shook his head:

"Alas! You are soft-spoken but soft-hearted. I just don't know when the emperor's decree to kill the Chu people will be withdrawn. Otherwise, Brother Yuan will not feel at ease."

Xiao Lingzi took Fang Qiu's hand and said with firm eyes and calmly:

"No matter when the emperor's decree is withdrawn, I will protect my wife well. Anyway, I have nothing to worry about. Wherever my wife is, I will be there."

Hearing him say such words, Ah Hou was the first to pout and sigh:

"You really forget your friends because of your lust. Do you care about them? Your brothers are not your concern? The prince is not your concern? It's really chilling to say this."

Seeing the sourness in Ah Hou's tone, Xiao Lingzi hurriedly shook his head and explained,

"When you get married in the future, you will know what I am thinking now. Well, I will send Aqiu back first. By the way, I have already ordered people to gather the people. Early tomorrow morning, everyone will flock to the Tianlao.

Please ask for your life for the prince."

Hearing this, Xiao Shuangzi looked at him with puzzled eyes,

"Brother Ling, didn't the princess say that we won't be allowed to influence the people?"

Xiao Lingzi wrinkled his forehead, a mysterious look flashed in his eyes,

"The princess said she wouldn't let us do it, but she didn't say she wouldn't let our people do it. At this critical moment, the more people, the better."

His words gave the other men a sense of enlightenment. After they looked at each other, they patted their heads and nodded in realization.

"That's right. What Brother Ling can think of, why didn't we think of it?"

Ayu also kept tutting his lips and saying:

"Yeah, I'm still worried about this matter. After hearing what Brother Ling said, I know what to do. Brothers, let's not stay here and take action quickly."

After saying that, he was the first to walk towards the gate, and the others saw this and followed closely behind.

…

Early the next morning, Liu Dechang led his people back to the capital. This expedition could be said to have returned in vain. He did not bring back a single Chu person.

However, as soon as he entered the city gate, he was greeted by the people, who all clapped and applauded.

The common people all know that if the Chu people are captured, the war between the two countries will inevitably extend to the capital. When the two countries fight, ordinary people will suffer the most.

Liu Dechang was riding on horseback with a solemn expression. What he was most worried about was Leng Yu's condition, so when facing the common people, his face was calm.

At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted:

"This is the first time that General Liu returned empty-handed. We should all celebrate this, because this can save the people from war. For the sake of peace, Prince Leng Yu privately released the Chu people and was imprisoned in the sky prison by the emperor.

Let’s go to the jail now to ask for an explanation.”

"Yes, go to the prison to save the prince."

"Let's all go. If the emperor doesn't let the prince go, he will put us all in a prison."

"The prince has returned from a great victory. The emperor not only refuses to reward him, but also punishes him. It is really unreasonable. We must rescue the prince."

"..."

Everyone's words all fell into Liu Dechang's ears. He was still worried about Leng Yu just now, but now he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile that was not easy to be noticed appeared at the corner of his mouth.

If these common people really go to the prison to demonstrate, and he goes to the emperor in person to plead for mercy, the emperor may not be stubborn anymore.

Thinking of this, a dark look appeared in his eyes, and then he tightened the reins of the horse and shouted, "Drive!"

The moment the horse galloped, it carried Liu Dechang towards the palace at the fastest speed.

Liu Dechang entered the palace before he could change his clothes. However, it was already past the morning court time. If he wanted to see the emperor, he had to go to the Imperial Study Room or Yangxin Palace.

He rushed to the imperial study room without seeing anyone, and when he rushed to the Yangxin Hall, he was stopped by Liu Xi.

"General Liu, the Emperor has been feeling unwell recently. You'd better come back another day."

"I have something urgent. Please let me know, father-in-law."

Liu Xi sighed and shook his head helplessly,

"General Liu, it's not that I don't want to inform you. The emperor has not been to the morning court for three days. It's useless for me to report. The emperor said that he won't see anyone while he is recuperating."

how so?

Liu Dechang suddenly frowned. After turning around a few times, he shook his sleeves and turned around angrily.

Since the emperor is missing, let's go to Prince Yu's Mansion to see what's going on now!

The people there are making a lot of noise, and the emperor can't just sit back and watch.

At this time, the emperor was lying on the dragon couch in the Yangxin Hall. In the fruit plate in Li Fei's hand, there were peeled apples. She picked them up one by one and put them into his mouth one by one.

The emperor half-squinted his eyes, looking very much enjoying himself.

"Your Majesty, you haven't gone to court for three days. The officials may make wild guesses. In my opinion, you should go to court tomorrow."

"Who dares to guess? I will not spare him lightly. Ever since Da Yu'er was imprisoned in the sky prison, people have been interceding on his behalf. I just want to let these people know that even my own son cannot disobey my will.

Indulge.”

"Your Majesty, you didn't say you wanted to make me the queen last time. Why don't you announce this at tomorrow morning? It's better for me to manage some disobedient concubines, otherwise they will all ignore me now..."

The emperor half-opened his eyes and looked at her, took two deep breaths and nodded.

"Tomorrow? It's too urgent. I'll ask the Ministry of Rites to prepare it later. It's not a child's play to seal the queen. It has to be decided by the Ministry of Rites based on the day. By the way, the pills Xi'er sent me are really effective. After I took them, I felt comfortable all over.

It’s great, I spent the night in Concubine Rong’s house last night, and she even praised me for being strong and healthy, which made her a little unbearable..."

The emperor's words made Concubine Li's face turn livid instantly. Recently, this concubine was favored by the emperor. It seemed that she had to interfere. Otherwise, sooner or later, she would squat on his head and shit.

Thinking of this, she once again picked up a piece of apple with her jade hands and brought it to the emperor's mouth, saying coquettishly:

"Your Majesty, why don't you come to Liyuan tonight, so that I can experience your Majesty's glory again..."

The emperor chewed the apple in his mouth, raised his eyebrows, and nodded proudly,

"Okay, I will go to Liyuan tonight..."

At this moment, Liu Xi hurried in with small steps.
Chapter completed!
