The hidden scholar took a deep breath: "Young Master, the princess allowed me to stay in the palace because I saved you. Please go back and don't mention this matter again."
Xiao Xi looked at him puzzled: "Why didn't you mention it? If you don't like my mother, then why did you send her flowers?"
The little man that the hidden scholar looked at was silent for a while.
There was a warm light in his slender eyes, and he said softly: "It's probably because the grass is green and the dew is like frost. The so-called love is on the side of the water. If you follow it, the road will be long and difficult."
Perhaps there really is a long road between him and Yiren...
Xiao Xi had never heard of the Book of Songs, but she probably understood that her teacher probably liked his mother.
He sighed in an old-fashioned way: "Sir, I don't understand. My mother doesn't like men who drop their book bags and drag their papers!"
The hidden scholar picked up the little guy with his arms and walked out, saying calmly: "The princess has already said that she wants me to teach you how to read well. When she becomes famous, she will marry me a good wife."
Xiao Xi understood this time that his mother had rejected the hidden scholar.
This time he stayed obediently in Scholar Yin's arms and said no more.
Scholar Yin carried Xiao Xi to the door and handed it to Chen Ning who was waiting outside: "Take good care of the young master."
Xiao Xi suddenly sighed and patted his shoulder: "Sir, don't be discouraged. Everyone has his own destiny. If my mother finds a good wife for you, I will also find a good husband for my mother again!"
Hidden scholar: "No need!"
Whoever fathers this baby will be short-lived. He will be born as a debt collector!
Chen Ning glanced at the hidden scholar, unable to hide the disdain between his eyebrows——
This sour scholar who can't lift his shoulders or lift his hands dares to send flowers to his eldest lady to show his love?
How could this person do such an overestimating thing? Anyone in the Red Flame Legion is better than him!
Chen Ning hugged Xiao Xi and turned around and left without even saying hello.
He didn't realize at all that he had already classified Ming Lanruo as the eldest lady of his family.
The hidden scholar looked thoughtfully at the young servant's back, keenly aware of Chen Ning's dissatisfaction with him.
Although he is a martial arts slave specially bought by Grandma Wang, Chen Ning's body shape and steps are well-trained, and his martial arts skills are no less than those of an excellent factory guard.
How did such a person end up selling himself into slavery?
Scholar Yin said coldly: "Have someone check the origin of Chen Ning."
"Yes." A shadow disappeared silently.
…
It was not until the seventh day after the incident that the emperor ended his so-called fasting practice, left the Yuqing Palace, and issued an imperial edict.
Ming Lanruo was asked to wait for a group of people to enter the palace to see him.
"For such a big case, instead of going to Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Procuratorate and other three departments for a joint trial, we were ordered to enter the palace. What does His Majesty the Emperor want to do?" Chunming sat on the carriage and asked Ming Lanruo in confusion.
Ming Lanruo looked in the hand mirror and saw that she was wearing the makeup of a lucky woman, and said calmly: "I don't care what he wants to do, anyway, the water will come to cover it, and the soldiers will come to stop it."
Today, if she doesn’t peel off a layer of skin from the Zhou family, her surname will not be Ming!
At worst, just use Cang Qiao. After all, didn’t he say that without him, she would be nothing? Then just use him!
After entering the palace, the young eunuch led them all the way to the Zhengde Hall.
Zhengde Hall is not the main hall for official court meetings, but the place where the emperor and cabinet elders hold discussions.
Emperor Ming seemed to be looking pretty good. He was sitting on the dragon chair, with civil and military officials standing clearly on both sides. The atmosphere was not very good.
Ming Lanruo looked at the tall man with a beard standing on the left who was deliberately wearing a military uniform, and knew that that man was none other than the Yongwu Marquis - Zhou Chen, Zhou Changle's father.
As for the nine-thousand-year-old Cang Qiao...
He was the only civil and military official in the entire dynasty, sitting lazily on the carved Eight Immortals chair diagonally in front of the emperor, wearing a scarlet python robe and a jade belt.
It's not like he's defending the emperor, but like the Supreme Emperor.
She didn't look at him, only lowered her eyes and stepped forward to salute: "See you, Your Majesty, nine thousand years old."
"Get up." The emperor waved his hand.
Then, he coughed: "Now that everyone is here, I'm asking you all to come over, just to clear up the misunderstanding and express your opinions."
When Ming Lanruo heard this, she knew that Emperor Ming was planning to protect the Zhou family, otherwise the unauthorized deployment of troops could not be defined as a "misunderstanding"!
She narrowed her cold eyes, the emperor had no control over this matter!
Sure enough, Dali Temple Minister Xu Gong was the first to rush out and angrily bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, what kind of misunderstanding is this? It is obviously someone from the Zhou family who is good at
I mobilized the sergeants and assassins from the capital and tried to kill my family members in broad daylight!"
He had three sons and one daughter, and Xu Xiuyi, the apple of his eye, almost died at the hands of the Zhou family. How could he not be angry?
The censor of Zuodu also stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, those murderers have high-ranking names in the Zhou family army. This matter should be reviewed by the three departments!"
His second daughter was also almost killed in Mingchun Lake. This week, the Zhou family was so arrogant in killing people in public. They were clearly relying on the emperor's favor and not taking them as civil servants seriously!
Emperor Ming touched his beard, indicating that they did not need to talk anymore, and looked at Zhou Chen: "What did Marquis Yongwu say?"
Zhou Chen stood up and looked at the civil servants fiercely: "You bastards, if I want to kill your daughter, will I put my cards on those killers and sergeants?"
"It's clear that it was a frame-up. Your daughter was unlucky enough to be on that ship, so she was implicated!"
Zhou Chen was so rude and shirking responsibility that the civil servants were so angry that their beards trembled: "You, you, you... are really vulgar!"
Zhou Chen looked at Emperor Ming, knelt down with a "pop" and clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, all the sergeants are registered. There is not a single person missing in our Huben Camp. The badges on those corpses must be fake!"
As he spoke, he banged his head on the ground with a bang: "My sister Zhou Hou has been in the palace for more than 20 years. She has diligently taken care of the Sixth Palace and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Now she has been framed and imprisoned by an adulterer.
In the palace, that traitor has come to harm our Zhou family again, Your Majesty, you must make the decision for us!"
The shocking sound of "bang, bang, bang, bang" made all the civil servants frightened.
How could the civil servants have imagined that a warrior would come up and become so aggressive that they were speechless!
"Okay, okay, Zhou Aiqing, get up quickly, I told you it was a misunderstanding!" Emperor Ming looked at Zhou Chen like that and felt very confused.
Because of the confinement of Queen Zhou, this reckless man would come into the palace every three days to stop him from reasoning.
Zhou Chen is a brave and fierce guy, but he has a clear mind, is easy to see through, and is easy to control. The military commanders in the court are always weak, so he doesn't want to lose the support of the Zhou family just yet.
He believed that the Zhou family could commit such a public murder, but he still had to protect the Zhou family.
"Could it be me that the traitor Marquis Yongwu said was me?" Ming Lanruo's cool voice sounded.
Instantly attracted everyone's attention
In this depressing and sharp dispute, Cang Qiao looked at Ming Lanruo lazily, playing with the jade ring with his fingertips, thinking casually——
I haven't looked at her these days. Is the little she-cat still angry about the quarrel in the Queen's Palace that day?
Today, she was wearing a high-end princess make-up, looking dignified and elegant, but she didn't know if it would be a different feeling if her face turned red as she begged him to let go.
He chuckled lightly, ah, he is really a devil with no moral bottom line, obviously he can't do anything...
Ming Lanruo felt the hair on her back when she was looked at by Cang Qiao's evil eyes.
In public, why did he look at her like that?
She just kept a cold face and focused all her attention on Zhou Chen's head.
She has a tough battle to fight! No time to pay attention to him!
