When Eunuch Fu saw that the emperor was really angry, he did not dare to express his anger. Chu Yunxi knelt down again, but he was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Your Majesty, you also know that because of the matter between An Ling'er and her eldest brother, she has some issues with her. If she didn't have a good reason, how could she dare to disturb the emperor? Please forgive me."
The emperor's originally irritable mood calmed down slightly because of Chu Yunxi's calmness.
"Okay, I want to hear what terrible reason you have for handing over such a treasonous thing. If you can't satisfy me, you will not be exempted from punishment today."
Eunuch Fu, who was on the side, was worried about Chu Yunxi and kept winking at her, telling her not to set up with him for irrelevant people and make the emperor unhappy.
This matter is not only about the friendship between husband and wife, but also about the face of the royal family. How could the emperor allow it? It is just a waste of words, and it will also cause trouble.
But Chu Yunxi seemed unaware, and there was still no ripple at all.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember that the last time His Highness the Crown Prince was surrounded and killed by assassins, it was my daughter's father who reported it to the Emperor in time and was able to arrive and save His Highness?"
The emperor's brows furrowed even more tightly. Is Chu Yunxi threatening to repay a favor? But what does this have to do with An Ling'er's matter?
"I will certainly remember General Chu's contribution. What reward do you want?"
"Your Majesty, the one who should be rewarded is not my daughter's father, but An Ling'er."
The emperor was even more puzzled.
"What do you mean by this?"
"Back to the emperor, although An Ling'er did something wrong, she made the most correct choice at the critical moment. It was because she heard about the conspiracy between Xiao Guogong and Prince An, took the risk, went out of the palace to inform the courtiers, and then she
Thanks to my daughter’s father for rescuing me.”
The emperor was completely stunned. How could he have expected that the key turning point of a huge event would lie in the body of a small concubine.
Chu Yunxi continued:
"Your Majesty, correct your mistakes when you know they are wrong. There is no greater good. What's more, His Highness the Crown Prince is my daughter's heaven and my daughter's everything. An Ling'er indirectly saved His Highness the Crown Prince, which means he saved my daughter's life. If I can't save her life,
, how can I feel at ease?"
When the emperor heard that Chu Yunxi valued the prince so much, most of his anger was gone.
In this way, Chu Yunxi was a person who repaid his kindness and did not take such great credit as himself.
Chu Yunxi leaned down.
"I beg the Emperor to see An Ling'er's merit in rescuing her and allow her a way out."
The emperor took another look at the Zhang and Li Shu that he threw to the ground. Since An Ling'er had betrayed Jun Hongyan, it was indeed inappropriate to continue to stay in Prince An's Mansion.
The emperor considered An Ling'er's role in rescuing her and the royal family's face, and then heard Chu Yunxi say again:
"Your Majesty, if An Ling'er can gain your grace, he will definitely stay away from the capital city life. I believe that with a little more control, no one will dare to speak carelessly about the royal family."
"That's all, you girl, it's rare for you to speak to me once, so I'll give you this face."
The emperor stretched out his hand towards Eunuch Fu. Eunuch Fu agreed and hurriedly took out the ink-filled brush and sent it to the emperor. He picked up the book and Li's book and laid them out on the small table.
The emperor only wrote the word "yes" on it. In this way, this piece of paper is considered to be effective. This is the imperial power. Every stroke of the emperor's stroke is an imperial edict! It is an existence that no one can disobey.
The emperor waved his hand, and Eunuch Fu picked up the book and Li Shu and brought them to Chu Yunxi.
Only then did Chu Yunxi reveal her two dimples, smiling innocently.
"The Emperor is wise and wise, and does not stick to trivial matters. He is truly a wise king. On behalf of An Ling'er, I would like to express my gratitude to the Lord for his kindness."
The emperor snorted arrogantly.
"Given your status as the Crown Princess, it's better not to do such treacherous things. You won't be so lucky next time. Let An Ling'er change her name and keep a low profile."
Chu Yunxi did not realize that he had been educated, but instead happily agreed.
"Yes, please remember that I will not disturb the emperor's rest. I will retire."
The emperor looked at Chu Yunxi who had resigned, and turned to ask Eunuch Fu.
"That girl, when she first came in, didn't she look like a stable nobleman?"
Mr. Fu immediately nodded in agreement.
"Exactly, Miss Chu is indeed the daughter-in-law chosen by the emperor. She has the demeanor of a princess."
The emperor hissed.
"But when she resigned, why did she act like a little girl who didn't understand the world?"
Eunuch Fu couldn't help but chuckle, "The emperor is very discerning and knows people well. He is in a high position, but he can neither be arrogant nor impetuous and keep his true heart. It is really rare."
The emperor looked sideways at Eunuch Fu, "Did you accept the bribe from that girl?"
Eunuch Fu waved his hands repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, don't make fun of me anymore. Even if I have the heart, I don't have the guts."
The emperor shook his head. He had read countless people, and it was rare to find someone as shrewd and naive as Chu Yunxi.
Chu Yunxi returned to the mansion, handed the He Li Shu, which the emperor had approved, to the secret guards, and ordered the secret guards to keep it out of sight and hand it over to An Ling'er.
When An Ling'er returned to Yongkang Bo's Mansion, she began to put away her things, thinking about what she would take with her when she left.
The maid saw her rummaging through boxes and cabinets and stepped forward to help.
"Miss, what are you looking for? Can my servant help you find it?"
An Ling'er waved her hand.
"I just don't know what I have. Just take a look. Go ahead and stop guarding me."
"Yes, miss."
The little maid was confused and had no choice but to retreat obediently.
An Ling'er put all her valuable jewelry in a wooden box and packed it up. If she wanted to travel far away, she had to have some money with her.
She couldn't bring too much clothes, lest others see her like she was moving. Only when she looked through it did she realize that she had so many clothes.
I don’t know what I thought before. What do I need so many clothes for? I don’t have a lot of clothes to wear them, and I don’t have a husband to appreciate them. Or do I need jewelry and money?
She rummaged for a while and was startled when she suddenly heard two thumps on the window frame.
When she turned around to check, she saw a piece of paper stuffed in the crack of the window. An Ling'er, suppressing her pounding heart, slowly walked forward and pulled out the paper, already feeling a little excited.
This piece of paper looked so familiar that she opened it carefully, and finally saw the three words "He" and "Li Shu" on the top. And at the bottom, the vigorous and powerful word "Yun".
An Ling'er finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. She was really pleasantly surprised. Who would have thought that Chu Yunxi could do things so fast.
They had only been apart for an hour, and Chu Yunxi had already settled all her affairs.
An Ling'er almost cried with joy. She was still young and had a long life ahead of her. With this He Li Shu, she could regain her life.
She put that and Li Shu away as treasures. She couldn't let her mother see them now, otherwise there would be another commotion. She would tell her mother before she left.
She couldn't trust even her father. After thinking over and over again, An Ling'er decided to skip Yongkang Bo and his wife and go directly to the second prince Jun Chengren.
"What are you doing here?"
The second prince was obviously dissatisfied with her marrying Jun Hongyan as his concubine. His already deserted face now had the words "Keep strangers away" written all over it.
