There was silence for a moment.

The prefect sighed.

See, are you happy now?

Even Emperor Liang De was a little shocked.

A strange color flashed across his eyes quickly, and he thought to himself that this was an unexpected surprise.

"My wife pays homage to Your Majesty." Mrs. Xue was two steps behind and bowed as well.

Mrs. Xue was also very shocked at this moment.

She didn't expect that the people who came were not from the Liu Family Zhuangzi... but the current Holy Emperor!

Mrs. Xue's heart sank slightly.

Concubine Na Wan was indeed so favored that even Concubine Wei was able to invite the emperor in person...

But not many people care about Mrs. Xue at the moment.

They all looked at Ning Que intently.

Even Concubine Wan almost lost her composure and blurted out asking him why he was here?

Finally, Emperor Liang De asked in confusion: "Why is Aiqing here?"

These words also caused Mrs. Xue to look at Ning Que twice.

There is a big difference between local officials and capital officials.

Your local magistrate is not as good as a ninth-grade official who walks in front of the emperor.

But a local official like him was able to win the emperor's "love", which shows that his status is completely different from those of ordinary local officials!

Is he some kind of military governor?

No, he clearly looks like a weak Taoist priest... not a military commander at all.

Mrs. Xue's mind was buzzing with all kinds of thoughts.

But suddenly I heard the sound of carriage wheels approaching.

The visitor lifted the curtain, carefully got out of the carriage, and said, "There are so many people, it's really lively!"

Concubine Wan: "..."

Liu Yuerong was so angry that her nose became crooked.

If the person here is not Xue Qingyin, who is it?

It's just that she came late. It sounded like she was staying out of the matter and had nothing to do with her!

Emperor Liang De also turned to look at Xue Qingyin and asked displeasedly: "Why are you here so late?"

Xue Qingyin said: "I was so happy last night that I didn't fall asleep until midnight. So... I woke up a little late. Please forgive me, Father."

She said with a cheeky smile.

His smile was so sweet that it was hard for him to say anything angry for a moment.

Ning Que was shocked when he heard this.

"Father"?

She calls His Majesty "Father"?

Ning Que's brain, which should have been extremely clear, suddenly became confused. All kinds of complicated thoughts and speculations swarmed in.

"Okay, come here." Emperor Liang De said in a cool tone.

Xue Qingyin then lifted up her skirt and squeezed in between them.

She has a pretty face and is eye-catching.

In addition, she is younger than Concubine Wan, so just like the flower in full bloom, she suddenly became the most gorgeous and dazzling existence.

"Prince Xuan's concubine is in such a good mood, and now that such a commotion has occurred, she is so happy that she couldn't sleep for half the night." Liu Yuerong couldn't bear it any longer, and uttered a low-pitched rebuke.

Now Xue Qingyin's identity is completely clear.

The concubine of King Xuan...

The thoughts in Ning Que's mind became even more confusing.

Xue Qingyin, who was sitting next to her, smiled calmly and said, "Yes, I got some extremely precious sword puddings and gladiolus puddings yesterday, and I will put them on Zhuangzi for use in the future. How can you make me unhappy?"

Emperor Liang De felt helpless and wanted to laugh when he heard this.

Ms. Xue is so good at irritating people.

Princess Wei must have felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

"Okay, don't be so talkative." Emperor Liang De shouted to stop.

He then looked at Ning Que: "Tell me first, why is Ning Qing here?"

Ning Que's heart was in turmoil, but it didn't affect his calm face.

He replied respectfully: "I lived in Taoist temples a lot when I was young, so I prefer quiet places."

This is meant for Emperor Liang De and Madam Xue.

He grew up in a Taoist temple, that’s the truth!

"So you took a fancy to this Zhuangzi? Did you come to visit this Zhuangzi?" Emperor Liang De asked warmly.

"Your Majesty, that's right."

"But I remember that this village has not officially opened yet, so why did you move in?"

"I have a good friend who happened to have some friendship with Zhuangzi. He led me to this place to play and live. When I came, I did not reveal my identity and claimed to have lived in Taoism for a long time. They just thought that I was a Taoist priest and stayed here. Draw divination and talismans every day on Zhuangzi..."

"That's it." Emperor Liang De nodded and said, "That's really a coincidence."

Ning Que nodded and said: "That day, the government came to pick up someone, and I was also there. I thought that since I borrowed the help of your place, I should do my part to ask what happened. So I sent out the people around me. I will always follow Qiu Huan."

Ning Que said helplessly: "I didn't expect such a misunderstanding..."

Concubine Wan's heart was churning, and her palms were pinched.

What a coincidence!

Damn what a coincidence!

The magistrate of that chamber also sighed and bowed: "I have known Governor Ning since we were young, and we do have some friendship. If only because Ning Governor's long attendant asked about my current situation, I would conclude that this is a crime of accommodating people and abusing power for personal gain. I don’t dare to defend myself..."

Anyway, I belong to your Wei Wang faction.

At this moment, it doesn't matter if you say something hypocritically like "it doesn't hurt to punish him".

Emperor Liang De pondered for a moment: "Well, I also remember that you and Ning Qing once lived in Qianzhou together. Qianzhou is miserable. The more we are in such a situation, the more profound friendship can be forged. A few words of greetings. I would like to express my gratitude to you. It's natural. Even if Ning Qing trusts you, it's Ning Qing's fault and has nothing to do with you."

Concubine Wan wanted to say something, but she knew that this was not a good time to speak, so she could only hold back.

Only Liu Yuerong still hasn't figured out the situation.

She couldn't help but ask: "Father, this matter...has this matter been revealed like this?"

"You also heard that this matter has nothing to do with the Xue family or King Xuan's concubine. It was a spontaneous act by the guests at Zhuangzi." Emperor Liang De almost laughed out loud.

He turned his head and looked at Liu Yuerong playfully.

"Does Princess Wei want to punish Governor Ning for his crimes?" Emperor Liang De asked.

For a moment, even Ning Que looked at Liu Yuerong.

Liu Yuerong was a little confused and a little panicked.

She doesn't understand, what's wrong?

It was obviously Xue Qingyin's people who beat up their Zhuangzi people, how ruthlessly they did it! There were still people trying to protect... Shouldn't these... shouldn't they settle accounts with Xue Qingyin?

But although she couldn't understand it, she could at least feel the atmosphere at the moment.

Obviously, she should not be held accountable anymore...

The governor Ning was deeply valued by the emperor...

"Why doesn't Princess Wei speak?" Emperor Liang De said in a slightly dissatisfied tone.

Liu Yuerong could only look at Concubine Wan helplessly.

Concubine Wan was secretly resentful, but she had no choice but to speak out: "Prefect Ning is my grandfather's student. Even when the King of Wei saw Prefect Ning, he would respectfully call him sir. And Prefect Ning's upright character impressed everyone. Everyone knows that this matter... is really a misunderstanding."

Liu Yuerong's eyes widened in shock.

Is Governor Ning a student of Concubine Wan's grandfather?

What kind of seniority is that?

In other words, this person is a person closely related to the Xu family! He can be regarded as a member of the King of Wei!

Liu Yuerong became even more panicked.

But she really didn't know it would lead to such a situation...

Liu Yuerong braced herself and said: "Yes, yes, father. My daughter-in-law didn't know it before, but it turned out that the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple... There is no need to hold anyone accountable for this matter."

Xue Qingyin suddenly interrupted: "Why did the flood wash away the Dragon King Temple?"

Liu Yuerong's heart sank.
Chapter completed!
