"The head of Anping County, Shen Wan, has been found guilty by the Third Division of Investigation and has been slandered for all crimes."
After Emperor Zhaoming said these words, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly: "This is the end of these matters. Come, take the Shen family and others down, put them in the sky prison, and deal with them at a later date!"
The Imperial Guards outside the palace immediately rushed in, grabbed Shen Zhijiang, Aunt Hua, Shen Yuting and Nanny Li who were all limp and desperate, and forcibly escorted them down.
Everything finally settled.
"I'm tired too."
Emperor Zhaoming waved his hand and stood up: "The prince, King Yi, the three pavilion elders, and Anping, follow me to the south study room, everyone else please leave!"
Xiao Lingyue was stunned for a moment after hearing this, a little confused.
Everyone folded their sleeves and knelt down, saluting: "Best farewell to Your Majesty!"
Emperor Zhaoming left first, and Eunuch Su followed him to wait on him.
The atmosphere in Qianqing Hall immediately relaxed.
After the ministers got up, they said hello to the three pavilion elders and the prince. They all said goodbye and left without asking any questions.
As for Zhan Beihan...
As soon as Emperor Zhaoming left, he turned around, walked to Xiao Lingyue, and stretched out his hand to her.
Xiao Lingyue was still kneeling on the ground. When she saw this, she subconsciously held his hand, stood up, frowned and whispered: "Why does Your Majesty want us to go to the south study room?"
"You'll know when you get there, won't you?" Zhan Beihan said calmly.
"I'm not an official of the DPRK. Even if something happens, can you just go? Why do you have to call me?"
Xiao Lingyue looked at him suspiciously: "Have you not explained clearly what happened last night?"
Zhan Beihan looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile: "I feel guilty now, isn't it too late?"
Xiao Lingyue: "...who feels guilty?"
"Just now you..." Zhan Beihan was about to say something.
A voice suddenly broke in and interrupted his words: "His Royal Highness King Yi, the Lord of Anping County."
Zhan Beihan's eyes turned cold, and he turned his head to see Xiao Chenggang walking over, with Marquis Zhenbei following him a few steps behind.
"Do you two have something private to talk about? I'm sorry to bother you." Xiao Chenggang looked at the two of them and asked knowingly.
Zhan Bei said coldly: "Is something wrong?"
"It's nothing serious."
Xiao Chenggang smiled slightly and looked at Xiao Lingyue: "I was in the palace just now. I was eager to find out the truth and insulted the county Lord a few times. I hope the county Lord doesn't mind."
Xiao Lingyue twitched the corner of her mouth: "General Xiao is too polite. You are a first-class general and your status is higher than mine. You cannot bear the word 'offense'."
Xiao Chenggang said: "I have only met the county lord a few times, but I didn't expect that every time we met, there would always be some misunderstandings, which is really frustrating! In terms of seniority, the county lord should call me uncle, right?"
Xiao Lingyue was instantly disgusted.
Xiao Chenggang married Mrs. Xiao, and Mrs. Xiao was Shen Zhijiang's biological sister.
That is, "Shen Wan"'s biological aunt.
If calculated based on blood lineage, Xiao Lingyue should indeed call him "uncle".
But this was only in the past.
Now, everyone in the government and the public does not know that "Shen Wan" has severed ties with the Shen family.
Xiao Chenggang still said such words in front of her, it was obvious that he was deliberately disgusting her.
Xiao Lingyue said with a smile: "General Xiao is joking, I have lost all ties with the Shen family, not to mention my aunt, even my parents. Mrs. Xiao has met me several times before. Unfortunately, I really don’t like it.”☆Free reading [ ]Updates quickly without pop-ups☆
