Emperor Han's face was gloomy and uncertain, his hands were attached behind his back, and his eyes were unfathomable as he looked at the nine personal guards kneeling at the bottom of the steps.

"Tell me all that you have seen this time, where the princess has gone, who you have met, and how you have brought her back. ”

Zhu Wei, the bearded man, confessed to a crime, and said loudly: "After we received the order to follow, we have been following ...... Behind the princess, this, the king, when the command was given, it was not said...... It's the princess, this ......"

"This is not in the way, and those who do not know are not guilty, so go on. ”

"Yes, the princess is fast, we have lost it several times, and the princess has not had any contact with outsiders along the way, but has just run all the way forward and played all the way...... Later, we found the princess in an inn in Yicheng. ”

"Listening to Yun'er, there is a kid who killed six guards with one sword?"

"Yes, the subordinates are incompetent. ”

"A sword?"

"Yes. ”

Emperor Han's eyes sparkled, and he leaned back to the sandalwood case, as if he was gasping.

He put his beard on his forehead and said in a muffled voice: "My subordinates have never seen Princess Chaoyang, and this time I acted recklessly, please condemn you." ”

Emperor Han let out a long sigh, kneaded his eyebrows for a while, and paced back and forth on the steps, as if he was thinking about something.

There was silence in the council hall, two little eunuchs held fragrant tea to open the bead curtain, walked in lightly, put the tray on the sandalwood case, Emperor Han waved his hand, and said in a low voice: "No need to wait, retreat!"

The little eunuch retreated, Emperor Han's eyebrows were still knotted, and he turned his head and asked, "Zhu Wei, do you remember that...... Kill six guards with a single sword..... What is the man's face?"

Zhu Wei, who had a beard, raised his head, quite surprised that the king would ask this question.

He felt embarrassed, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency, this is a subordinate who is not good at learning and art, and is willing to accept punishment." Those are two people from the rivers and lakes, and one of the subordinates can be sure that one is the killer Xiaoyaozi who has been hiding in the rivers and lakes for many years......"

"I'm not asking about Xiaoyaozi, what is Xiaoyaozi! I'm asking about the young man who killed six of our guards with a single sword!"

"Yes, that kid is very good-looking, we don't know who he is, but we heard him call Xiaoyaozi a master, it seems that he is Xiaoyaozi's apprentice!"

Emperor Han slapped the Panlong Iron Pillar beside him with one hand and shouted: "Fart, what kind of role is Xiaoyaozi, how can he be worthy of being that person's master!"

Zhu Wei looked at his monarch in horror, his face was grim, and he was by no means talking nonsense.

"Yes, but my subordinates really heard that kid calling his master......"

Emperor Han took a deep breath, looked up at the ceiling carved with nine dragons on the top, and said in a deep voice: "Several of you, you have all taken pictures with that person, and now you will draw me that person's face with the memory of that time." ”

"Yes, however, my subordinates are not good at Danqing, I'm afraid they will draw four dislikes!"

"Draw whatever you want, hurry up!"

An hour later, nine eccentric portraits were presented in front of Emperor Han, Emperor Han leaned down, stared at the subtle differences of each sentence with wide eyes, Zhu Wei and the others were shocked in their hearts, and did not understand why the monarch was so interested in that kid, so he did not hesitate to bend down his noble body, almost lying on the ground, worshipping those portraits.

"Your ......"

"It's none of your business, step aside! Oh, yes, don't reveal half a word about this matter, if Princess Chaoyang asks, you will say that you don't know anything, that girl is arrogant and rude, it's time to take care of it." ”

"Yes, my subordinates acted recklessly this time and offended the princess. ”

Emperor Han's eyes just looked at the portrait, and waved his hand absentmindedly: "It's okay, it's okay, hey, after so many years, it's finally here..... Stand down!"

Zhu Wei and the others didn't dare to ask any more, and after kowtowing three times, they rushed out.

Emperor Han picked up the portrait on the ground, turned around and walked quickly into the imperial study.

With a solemn expression, he threw out all the little eunuchs who stayed in the imperial study, and walked into the inner room with the portrait in his hand.

"Princess, you can't be willful anymore, the king told you to think about the portrait of the master mother in the Hanhai Palace for three months, you just stay here obediently, don't go anywhere, three months will pass soon, and then I will beg the king to let you out, okay?"

Xia Yun kicked away the several cases that stood in front of her: "I'm just walking around outside, do you need to tie me back like this? I'm still the princess of this Dahan Kingdom..... What face do I have to face those palace ladies and courtiers? Since I was a child, I can only stay in this palace with five feet of palace walls, am I not tired?"

Grandma Gong, who had a kind face, stepped forward with a smile and hugged Xia Yun, and said: "I said princess, the palace is so big, but there are ten of them in the imperial garden, and there are everything in it, do you want to see anything? Why do you run out alone? Think about it yourself, you don't know how to make a fire to cook, and you can't do laundry and fold quilts, it's a great luck that you run out like this, and you don't live on the street and be treated as a beggar, what else do you say to inspect the people?"

Xia Yun looked disapplieving, and pushed Grandma Gong away with one hand: "You old thing, won't I go out with silver and gold? What I can't do, naturally someone will help me do it, what are you worried about?"

Grandma Gong pulled Xia Yun's sleeve and looked at the portrait hanging in the middle of the hall: "Okay, princess, don't lose your temper, come and incense the queen mother." ”
