Zhan Wenlin knew that Emperor Xiaoxian would be wrong, so she quickly explained: "Father, please calm down. My sons and ministers are living well in the harem, and the people they serve are also obedient. It's just..."
"Just what?" Emperor Xiaoxian felt relieved when he heard this.
But looking at this girl's hesitant way of speaking, she intuitively told her: What Zhan Wenlin was going to say was definitely something that he wouldn't worry about.
Zhan Wenlin pursed her lips and looked up again at De Fei and Zhan Wenyu. The latter two just nodded at her, indicating that she could speak for herself.
The atmosphere on the left and right has been "enhanced" to this point, and what happens next is the same no matter who you say.
"Didn't Xiao Lin'er say you have something important to discuss with me? Why don't you say it now?" Emperor Xiaoxian looked into Zhan Wenlin's eyes and was guessing in his heart what this girl was going to say to him.
Zhan Wenlin took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said: "Father, I want to follow Eighth Brother out of the palace and go to Seventh Brother's house."
As Zhan Wenlin spoke, she looked at the expression on Emperor Xiaoxian's face. She was always prepared to shut up immediately if his father's expression showed the slightest bit of displeasure.
However, Emperor Xiaoxian was born into a royal family, and from the time he could remember, he was required to keep his emotions and anger in front of others. Besides, he had been in power for so many years, how could a little girl like Zhan Wenlin be able to spot the clues so easily?
When Emperor Xiaoxian heard Zhan Wenlin's words, he didn't say yes or no, he just sat there silently, holding up a tea cup and drinking tea.
Wan Cheng stood aside and quietly glanced at the silent Emperor Xiaoxian, then at Concubine De and Zhan Wenyu who were sitting not far away, wondering if today's "commotion" was going to happen.
I heard something.
After all, Zhan Wenxuan had already reported Su Wan's matter to Emperor Xiaoxian, and Wan Cheng had heard everything. However, the matter had not yet been made public, so he could only keep it secret and be careful not to let the news fall to Concubine De.
and Zhan Wenlin's ears.
How could Emperor Xiaoxian not think of accomplishing anything he could think of?
At this moment, he was drinking tea without saying a word, just thinking about whether to agree to Zhan Wenlin and let her leave the palace and go to Prince Xian's Mansion.
"Father, I haven't left the palace for many years. Recently, I always see the seventh brother and eighth brother bringing delicious snacks to my mother and concubine from outside the palace, saying what new things have become outside the palace. I said
I really can’t bear it anymore and want to see it with my own eyes——”
Zhan Wenlin said this because she wanted Zhan Wenyu to help. Fortunately, Zhan Wenyu did "help" Zhan Wenlin and said: "Father, could it be that Xiao Lin'er has figured it out on her own?
She is also willing to go out for a walk. Considering that she has not left the palace for so many years, just agree to it——"
"Yes, Your Majesty. The past has passed. Xiao Lin'er has stepped out of the shadows and returned to her original appearance. You have always loved Xiao Lin'er, so please allow her!"
"Besides, Yu'er is here. He will definitely protect Xiao Lin'er and bring her to Xuan'er's house safely, and then return her to the palace safely later."
Concubine De was also helping Zhan Wenlin speak, but both inside and outside her words were telling Emperor Xiaoxian: Zhan Wenyu would protect Zhan Wenlin well, unlike five years ago, when Zhan Wenxuan, a close relative,
Brother, you didn’t even protect your own sister!
Emperor Xiaoxian kept his head down and drank tea with an expressionless face. No one knew what he was thinking. When he put down the cup and raised his head again, he looked directly at Concubine De and asked: "Xuan'er, what are you doing here?"
Are you going to pay your regards someday?"
Concubine De was stunned and didn't understand what Emperor Xiaoxian meant. But she quickly replied, "Counting the days, I guess Xuan'er's narcolepsy will break out in the next few days. In addition to going to court every day, she will
Stay in the mansion to recuperate."
Emperor Xiaoxian originally wanted to test Concubine De to see if she knew about Su Wan. But judging from her reply, she probably didn't know yet.
I don't know if Zhan Wenlin came to ask him to leave the palace today, whether it was her own intention, or whether she became interested after listening to others.
Now Emperor Xiaoxian himself wanted to know how Zhan Wenxuan was doing with his investigation of Su Wan, so he said: "Since my little Lin'er wants to go out to the palace so much, I will agree to it."
"Go, follow Yu'er to Xuan'er's house. If you want to go somewhere else, you must follow them together. Otherwise, you can only stay in Prince Xian's house and are not allowed to go anywhere.
!”
When Zhan Wenlin received Emperor Xiaoxian's approval, she immediately beamed with joy. She hurriedly walked to the front of the table and bowed respectfully to Emperor Xiaoxian.
"Thank you, Father, for your permission. I will obey your orders!"
