Lian Ye lowered her head and was about to leave, but was reminded that the outside was surrounded by imperial guards and no one was allowed to enter or exit.
"Princess, what should we do?" Lian Ye was anxious. She came out secretly to report the news under the pretense of being a buyer. She couldn't disappear for too long, otherwise she would definitely arouse suspicion.
Jinghua frowned and simply said a few words of comfort: "I'll go take a look at this, so you don't have to panic."
"yes."
Jinghua stood up and walked outside. When she saw that there were indeed many Imperial Guards surrounding the door, her face suddenly darkened.
"What on earth is going on? Are you treating me as a prisoner?"
No matter how she tried to persuade her, the people guarding the door acted as if they didn't hear her. Their bodies were as motionless as Mount Tai.
Seeing this, Jinghua's anger rose again, and he said angrily: "Go back and report to the emperor, I want to see the emperor."
Still ignored her.
Jinghua stepped out of the threshold with one foot, and immediately a guard stretched out his sword to stop him: "The emperor has an order that no one can enter or leave the county lord's mansion without permission."
The posture seemed like if Jinghua dared to take another step, he would stab him directly. Jinghua was angry and helpless, so he had to take back his foot and said to the housekeeper: "Close the door, and no one is allowed in."
"yes."
Little did he know that a moment later, Chu Xuanzhi came to knock on the door in person, and the door was opened. The housekeeper's insulting words reached his throat and he swallowed them back. He trembled and looked at the visitor in disbelief.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Chu Xuanzhi kicked the housekeeper and asked angrily: "An assassin broke in without permission. Do you have any clues?"
Being kicked inexplicably, the butler didn't dare to get angry. He thought about it carefully and quickly shook his head: "Replying to the emperor, I didn't see any assassins. Are you mistaken?"
The news that Chu Xuanzhi came to the house soon reached Jinghua's ears. Jinghua's eyelids jumped instantly, and a feeling of uneasiness came over her heart.
"Mother, how come Uncle Huang is here at this juncture?" Sister Yi also smelled something unusual.
Jinghua immediately glanced at the lotus leaves beside him.
"Princess, the Emperor is definitely not here for your slaves. Think about it again and see if the Emperor has personally come to you to apologize. After all, you are the Emperor's only close relative in this world." Lotus Ye's mouth is very sweet, knowing that
What to say to make the master happy.
Hearing her explanation, a trace of pride appeared on Jinghua's face.
"No, that's not right. Uncle Huang probably didn't come here to apologize, but maybe to investigate the case." Sister Yi felt that the matter was not that simple.
Chu Xuanzhi didn't value feelings as much as she thought, otherwise he wouldn't have demoted his mother from the aloof eldest princess to the county head.
The smile on Jinghua's face faded a bit when he heard this, and he said to Lianye: "You should hide behind it first."
"yes."
After settling Lotus Ye, Jinghua took advantage of her plan and started pretending to be sick in the room. Sister Yi immediately understood and waited on her with red eyes.
Chu Xuanzhi had not waited for Jinghua for a long time and had already lost his patience. He came all the way to the main hospital and heard that Jinghua was ill. Then he saw Sister Yi standing pitifully on the threshold and saluted to him aggrievedly.
, called out to the Emperor’s uncle weakly.
"An assassin broke into the county lord's mansion. I sent people to search him. You don't have to panic." Chu Xuanzhi's tone became much gentler, and in one movement he ordered the guards to search separately.
Sister Yi's eyes flashed with confusion and fear: "Assassins? There will be assassins in the County Lord's Mansion. This... Uncle Huang, who is so bold that he dares to sneak into the County Lord's Mansion in broad daylight?"
Chu Xuanzhi put a hand on his lower back and said comfortingly: "Just leave these to the guards to search. You don't have to worry about comfort. How is your mother?"
As soon as the topic changed, tears fell from Sister Yi's eyes. She clutched the handkerchief tightly with both hands, looking like she wanted to say something but didn't dare.
In the past, Chu Xuazhi would definitely comfort her, but now that he was suppressing his anger and waiting to find the lotus leaves, how could he have the patience to comfort her?
Sister Yi didn't wait for the other party to ask for a long time, so she had to take the initiative to say: "My mother fell ill when she came back from the palace. The doctor said it was because of her anger. My mother has been proud all her life. The most cherished thing is family affection. Now she and the emperor's uncle are married
Misunderstanding, I feel anxious but helpless..."
While she was speaking, Lian Ye had been found. He had a cloth stuffed in his mouth and was tied up. His little face was pale and he looked frightened.
