Ji Ruobai supported Ye Fuxun's ideas unconditionally.
At the same time, Ji Yannuo, who was far away in the capital, was in prison with a gloomy face. He looked at the row of palace maids and eunuchs kneeling below him, with no sign of mercy on his face.
As the prince of the East Palace, he must be a person without weaknesses. It is also true that the people below him did not take good care of Ji Ruobai. Even if it is punishment, it is not an exaggeration.
But precisely because of this, when he went to court today, he was given a copy by Yan Guan, saying that he did not behave like a prince and imprisoned the general and attendants without asking the reason.
When the official spoke, he didn't say everything yet. If he had told everything, he would only say that he would become an emperor in the future, which would be a symptom of a tyrant.
Not to mention how the speaker learned that he had ordered people to be thrown into prison, even the words he said later could kill a person in this era of flying public opinion.
Fortunately, he explained clearly to the emperor after going to court, otherwise the emperor would have really thought that he was the kind of person Yan Guan said.
"Tell me who spread the word about this."
Ji Yannuo glanced at everyone's face with cold eyes and spoke in a cold tone.
He has his own guards in the East Palace, and outsiders are not allowed to enter and exit easily. Now that the officials know about this, someone must have reported the news.
He was not afraid of anyone impeaching him, but he was afraid that someone would take action against Ji Ruobai after they found out that Ji Ruobai was missing.
The eunuchs and maids who were questioned naturally did not dare to answer, and all of them hunched over.
One of the eunuchs kept shaking, Ji Yannuo narrowed his dark eyes, and soon a guard came forward and pulled the eunuch out.
That night, Ji Yannuo returned to the dormitory.
At this moment, the palace maids and eunuchs also changed shifts. Because it was night, no one could speak at all, so there was a sense of silence in the entire East Palace.
Ji Yannuo was lying alone on the bed, but he was not sleepy at all. As soon as he closed his eyes, the picture that appeared in his mind was also the previous scene when Ye Fuxun was still in the East Palace, and then it was Ye Fuxun.
Playing with Ji Ruobai.
These two things deeply occupied his brain, making it impossible for him to suppress them even though he didn't want to think about them anymore.
There were a lot of people in the entire East Palace, but Ji Yannuo always felt like he was an orphan in my family. His face gradually darkened, and finally he made a decision.
Since Ji Ruobai is looking for Ye Fuxun, and Ye Fuxun is now in the Jiangnan area, why can't he also go to Jiangnan, so that he can find Ji Ruobai and find out what happened in Jiangnan.
After making up his mind, the more Ji Yannuo thought about it, the more it made sense. He immediately called the eunuch in charge and said, "Go and prepare some things for me to travel. Remember to keep it simple."
The eunuch in charge went down as instructed.
Ji Yannuo stayed up for most of the night and finally closed his eyes and fell asleep, and early the next morning, he went to the emperor.
The emperor had just finished his breakfast. When he saw Ji Yannuo coming over, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and ask, "Why does the prince come to me so early?"
"Back to the emperor, I want to go to the palace to go to Jiangnan. That day you asked me about Jiangnan, but I couldn't answer. I have always felt that I have betrayed your trust after returning. I have thought a lot in the past two days, and finally I want to go to the south of the Yangtze River in person.
Go to Jiangnan to see the local customs and customs."
Ji Yannuo spoke respectfully, without mentioning anything about Ye Fuxun and the two of them.
Ji Yannuo's words made the emperor feel happy, and the emperor nodded and said: "Yes, there is still understanding."
"In that case, I will allow you to go to Jiangnan." The emperor naturally would not refuse. In the past, it was common for princes to leave the palace and travel privately.
Moreover, the prince will be an emperor in the future, so he should travel more to the land of his country.
With the emperor's permission, Ji Yannuo quickly returned to the East Palace and at the same time ordered the entire East Palace to take good care of the East Palace as always during his absence.
On the other hand, the emperor exempted Ji Yannuo from going to court today. After the court, the prime minister went to the imperial study. After talking about other things, he asked Ji Yannuo doubtfully.
"I asked the prince to go to the south of the Yangtze River. Why did Aiqing ask?" After the emperor finished speaking, he frowned and looked at the prime minister with a puzzled and sharp look.
Naturally, the Prime Minister did not dare to hide it, and immediately knelt down: "To answer your Majesty's question, the prince rescued the little girl in the mansion that day in front of everyone. Even though there was an order on that day, no one was allowed to talk nonsense.
But the little girl still feels that she, a woman who has not yet left the court, has come into contact with a strange man, and she feels that this matter is extremely embarrassing...I am in pain in the house every day..."
After the prime minister finished speaking, he secretly looked at the emperor's face. Seeing that the latter was not unhappy, he immediately changed his posture and said sincerely: "I am such a beloved daughter, who has been taught to be knowledgeable and sensible since childhood.
You abide by the rules of women, but now that something like this happens, I want to be shameless and ask your Majesty for a favor so that my daughter's reputation will not be ruined."
The prime minister has been an official for many years and knows that the emperor is soft-hearted, so after saying this sentence, he talked about many things from his youth.
The emperor couldn't help but fell into memories. When he came back to his senses, he was thinking about what the prime minister said.
In fact, what the Prime Minister said was right. Although Ji Yannuo saved Li Xiyao's life, one of her daughters was also hugged by Ji Yannuo. If Ji Yannuo didn't do something.
Even the daughter of an ordinary family should commit suicide in shame, let alone the daughter of a prime minister.
The emperor sighed deeply and felt a little headache. He immediately called the prime minister and went to the East Palace together. At the same time, he also sent a sedan to invite Li Xiyao to the East Palace.
Li Xiyao hurriedly came after hearing the sound in the mansion. Along the way, Li Xiyao was thinking about what happened when she was hugged by Ji Yannuo.
She thought again of what her father had said recently, and Li Xiyao suddenly clenched her hands tightly. All she could think about was Ji Yannuo.
Half an hour later, the group gathered in the East Palace.
Li Xiyao got off the sedan and came to the main hall. She showed a sad posture, even her eyes were red, which made people feel distressed.
In full view of everyone, the Prime Minister looked at Ji Yannuo and said this. At the end of the sentence, the Prime Minister paused slightly, and then said: "I know that neither you nor my daughter did anything wrong in this matter.
But the mistake is that my daughter is born as a girl, and reputation is too important to a woman. If this does not happen today, I can only ask you to personally give my daughter a white silk ribbon."
The prime minister used this matter to force the marriage. After the prime minister finished speaking, he knelt down and told Li Xiyao that she was also kneeling, with tears falling one after another.
The emperor looked at the expressionless Ji Yannuo and sighed secretly. He also felt sorry for such a woman.
Besides, Ji Yannuo is a prince, so it doesn't matter if he adds a woman to his family.
