Chapter 23: Entering the Palace and Facing the Saint

Yan Minglan was cold, and the machine spirit Xuanwu agreed.

Seeing that Yan Minglan didn't move for a long time, Amber here asked worriedly, "Miss, are you okay?" ”

Yan Minglan came back to her senses and shook her head.

"Amber, can you still keep the jade pendant that the emperor gave you last time?"

"It's still there, I've saved it in a drawer for you."

Amber didn't know what to do, but Yan Minglan had a plan in her heart.

You must know that the thing that the emperor rewarded that day contained a jade jade pendant with a warm texture. The wisps of flowers carved on the dragon body on the top are lifelike, and what is pressed under the jade pendant is a letter written by the emperor.

At the beginning of the letter, he expressed his sorrow for the death of his father, and his father's contribution to the whole country in the past few days, and then stated that he would encounter difficulties that could not be solved in the future, so he would use this jade pendant to enter the palace to find him. It can be regarded as a shelter for the sake of the Yanfu big house, and he does not treat his father badly.

At first, Yan Minglan didn't want to use this jade pendant so quickly, so she silently hid this object. But after last night, she finally came to her senses, and she protected each other in this Yanfu and was embarrassed. Without a backer, one person can't support the big house at all.

Thinking of last night's bullying, Yan Minglan clenched the jade pendant in her hand, and her joints turned white.

Aunt Liangfang, Elder Zongtang, if she really thinks she will be so easy to calculate?

"Amber, I'm going to go out of the Yan Mansion, you have to help me cover up."

Yan Minglan leaned over and whispered the plan in Amber's ear.

Amber's eyes widened, as if she was shocked by Yan Minglan's intentions.

"Miss, do you really plan to enter the palace to face the holy ......?"

It is said that the companion is like a tiger, and the saint is moody, Amber is really worried that Yan Minglan will not get help this time, but will be disgusted by the saint and suffer in vain.

Yan Minglan also knew that this time was an extremely risky move, but now only by trying could she get a chance to fight back. If you continue to be passive, the situation of the entire big house will become more and more worrying in the future, and it will be difficult.

Yan Minglan will never allow the family business that her parents have accumulated with great difficulty to lose in the hands of incompetent people in the second and third rooms.

"Amber, from that letter, I can roughly deduce that the emperor is very important to his father, and he will not necessarily blame him for going to uphold justice this time."

If there is no such certainty, Yan Minglan will not dare to come nonsense.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Amber could only respond worriedly and take cover in the Yan Mansion.

Yan Minglan here got out of the hole in the corner of the back wall, dressed in men's plain and unobtrusive. She took the jade pendant in her hand and walked in the direction of the towering wall, her eyes were firm.

Wait until Yan Minglan hands over the jade pendant to the guards of the guards, and the identity of the registration follows. Then they entered the palace to report and deliver the news to the main hall layer by layer. waited until the emperor approved and Yan Minglan was able to face the saint, half an hour had passed.

"Miss Yan, please come with the miscellaneous family."

It was the little eunuch under the chief who hurried to greet him. Facing Yan Minglan respectfully, he held his back slightly.

Yan Minglan nodded, and under the leadership of the little eunuch, she went all the way around the way. Everywhere you pass is the glory of the palace wall, and countless famous flowers are blooming, showing the royal dignity all the time.

As the little eunuch walked, he looked at this person who was quite valued by the chief steward's father-in-law. In the past, when an official lady or wife entered the palace for the first time, she either couldn't help but show off left and right, or her eyes were timid.

But this master is so calm and indifferent, and his every move is decent and natural, and he is really not an ordinary person.

The most important thing in this palace city is people with high eyesight, and the little eunuch is no exception. Those who are not a little clever have long been buried with those mass graves full of corpses, where is the turn to breathe?

So, for Yan Minglan, the little eunuch was more polite and thoughtful, and he didn't dare to slack off.

Yan Minglan didn't know that it was just a moment's effort, and she was taken away by the little eunuch. However, her eyes reflected a sea of red sparks, and her mood was much more relaxed.

Even if it doesn't succeed this time, it can be considered content to see a dazzling scenery that is different from Yanfu and the sea.

"Miss Yan, it's here."

After a while, the little eunuch in front finally stopped and kindly informed.

"There is Father-in-law Lao."

Yan Minglan was also accessible, and walked over and gave the little eunuch a bag of broken silver.

When my mother was still there, I never forgot to warn and teach, and I took care of everything, maybe these inadvertent things are often the way to the future. Now she does it one by one, for the sake of the silver, this little eunuch will remember some of it.

Sure enough, the little eunuch accepted the favor and kindly reminded Yan Minglan of a point or two.

"Miss Yan, the emperor has also been feeling heartache for the death of Lord Yan Mansion in recent days, you. As for the true feelings and false intentions, the emperor will distinguish between them. ”

The little eunuch stopped at the point, and then respectfully retreated.

Yan Minglan's heart moved, and she felt that her grasp was a little heavier. Unexpectedly, at this time, he was still under the shadow of his father.

When she thought of this, she had mixed feelings and couldn't speak.

Just then, the door to the main hall opened.

This time, it was the father-in-law who served the emperor's side - Father-in-law Xi. He saw Yan Minglan nodding slightly, signaling that the emperor was waiting in the palace.

Yan Minglan walked in, and the father-in-law behind him closed the door. Only a "squeak" sound was heard, leaving a room silent.

At this time, in the main hall, no one was left behind, only Yan Minglan was left to talk to the emperor alone. Invisibly, her pressure became even heavier.

"It's Yan Minglan from Yan Mansion who came in?"

A male voice that was not angry and self-assured, low and powerful.

Yan Minglan had already taken a few steps closer to the front of the hall at this time, and bowed deeply without squinting.

"The courtier is Yan Minglan, who meets the emperor. Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

Her gaze was lowered to the marble floors of the main hall.

There was no sound from above, but Yan Minglan could feel a strong gaze observing her, as if she was weighing one or two.

"Get up."

After a long time, the emperor spoke slowly.

Yan Minglan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and only then did she realize that the majesty of the Son of Heaven was indeed true. But after a while, her palms were covered with cold sweat.

However, in the end, there was no loss of etiquette in front of the saint, and it was considered comprehensive.

The emperor already had a plan in his heart, and his voice softened: "I don't know if you know, I gave you this jade pendant, but I didn't use it indiscriminately. If what I said was just a trivial matter of my daughter's family, I have the right to take it back. ”

Yan Minglan saw that the emperor was playing with the jade pendant in his hand.

careless, but people dare not slack off to deal with it.

"The courtiers understand that if the courtiers hadn't reached the point of last resort today, they wouldn't have entered the palace to disturb the saint."

Yan Minglan was calm, and her face was resolute.

She bowed and knelt again, her forehead hit the ground, and she was cold: "The courtiers also asked the emperor to make decisions for me, which calmed the bitter grievances in the hearts of the courtiers." ”

Thinking of the various jackals, tigers and leopards in the Yan Mansion, the deep helplessness revealed in Yan Minglan's tone attracted the emperor's sideways.

"Get up and say."

In the end, considering that this was the daughter of a minister who had made meritorious contributions to the court, the emperor still gave her a chance.

Yan Minglan was pleasantly surprised, and stood up to come to the dragon in 1510.

"Both of the courtier's parents died, and only the weak courtier's daughter was left in the big house. I thought that escaping death and returning to Yanfu was the greatest luck, but now the courtiers have to wonder if it is the best to go with their parents. ”

The emperor frowned, obviously a little annoyed. If you stay in a high position for a long time, the more you regret your life. Yan Minglan didn't cherish this hard-won opportunity, and even had such a stupid idea as seeking death.

"Do you know how chilling it would be for your father to hear this?"

The temperature of the sound plummeted, and the entire room froze to freezing point.

Yan Minglan understood that this was a risk, but she had to rush up. Since the arrow is ready to be sent and has to be sent, there is nothing to hesitate about.

Thinking like this, she gritted her teeth and responded: "The courtiers know that the greatest hope of their parents is that the courtiers are doing well and have a smooth life." But if it weren't for the fact that she was desperate, the courtiers would not have had such a ridiculous idea. ”

When the emperor heard this, he had doubts.

"As far as I know, Yan Qing only has a daughter like you, who is very fond of you, and she often talks about you in front of me. With such a smooth flow, what else do you have to worry about? ”

Yes, I'm afraid that if you are not from Yanfu, it will be difficult to understand.

Yan Minglan smiled bitterly, and had to respond respectfully in the face of the saint: "Don't you know, the courtiers and daughters of their parents are really satisfied, and they don't want to go back to the past all the time. But now things are wrong, and the courtiers are in prison and cannot complain. I wonder if the emperor has heard rumors about the capital? ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows and called his father-in-law in. Hearing this, Gonggong Xi said a few words, and Yan Minglan could clearly see that the emperor's brows were getting tighter and tighter.

"Really?"

Heavy, he asked his father-in-law.

Father-in-law Xi nodded.

At this moment, the emperor's eyes on Yan Minglan were extremely complicated. There are speculations, doubts, and a little disappointment. All of a sudden, it was all mixed together.

Yan Minglan secretly said that the rumors were harmful, and smiled bitterly: "It seems that the Holy Lord knows about it, and you are doubting whether the courtiers are really as rumored." ”

The emperor did not say anything, and was silent.

Yan Minglan couldn't, and her voice sobbed: "I beg the Holy Mingjian, if the courtiers are really as rumored to be, and treat the concubines and the lonely star of the heavens, it will be called the sky thunder and split, and there will be no good reincarnation in eternal life!" ”

Hiss –

Father-in-law Xi on the side took a breath of cold air, thinking that this Miss Yan family was really ruthless to herself.

But the more this happens, the easier it is to be trusted.

The emperor was moved and asked Yan Minglan about the ins and outs of the whole matter. Yan Minglan 1510 spoke thoroughly, and told the story of returning to Yanfu, the funeral halfway, and last night's wake, and the details of the inner response. In some of the painful places, the tone was undulating and very uncalm.

If Yan Minglan wasn't really cornered, I'm afraid she wouldn't have told the Son of Heaven about these bad things about the Yan Mansion.

There was a "bang", and Grandpa Xi shivered on the side.

The emperor slapped the table with his palm, and was furious: "It's really unreasonable! You should have told me sooner! ”

Thinking of Yan Qing, who worked hard for the court in the past, and then think about the current situation of his only concubine. The emperor attaches the most importance to these, how can he bear it? immediately made a decision to make decisions for Yan Minglan, and it could be regarded as giving some warning to those restless people in Yan Mansion.

"Courtiers, thank you!"

Yan Minglan kowtowed, and her face was genuinely grateful.
