The little eunuch got the order, knowing that his master was going to avenge the imperial concubine, so he went down happily to do it, quietly took the waist card, took the carriage out of the palace, and went straight to the Ye Mansion.

At this time, Mrs. Liu was annoyed that she hadn't killed Ye Wanying's little hoof before, and when she heard that the little eunuch in front of the emperor was coming, she couldn't help but tremble, but she quickly calmed down, sorted out her makeup, and then took the maid to the front yard.

In the front yard, the little eunuch stood aside, with a cold expression on his face, his eyes swept over her face, and a trace of disdain snorted from his nose.

"My father-in-law came today, but the emperor has something important to order?"

"This slave doesn't know, the slave is just to invite the two of them into the palace at the behest of the emperor, as for what is the matter...... You two are like mirrors in your own hearts!"

As soon as the little eunuch's voice fell, Mrs. Liu was faintly flustered in her heart, her eyes gradually became erratic, and she didn't dare to look at the face of the eunuch in front of her.

But Ye Teng still looked like the second monk was confused, thinking that he and his daughter were very peaceful these days, how could the emperor suddenly summon him?

"This ...... Father-in-law, I really don't know!"

"I don't know, then when you see the emperor, you will know, don't talk nonsense, just follow us into the palace." ”

The little eunuch thought that Ye Teng was pretending to be stupid, so he didn't bother talking to him, and took the two of them back to the palace in a carriage.

Along the way, Mrs. Liu's heart was pounding, and she still looked unfazed, but now she has begun to break out in a cold sweat on her forehead.

"Madame, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah, me, I didn't sleep well, I had some heart palpitations. ”

Ye Teng also noticed that something was not quite right with Mrs., and asked out loud, and Mrs. Liu hurriedly found an excuse to prevaricate.

The three of them got out of the carriage at the gate of the palace and went straight to the imperial study, at this time, Murong decided to change his clothes and sat behind the desk, although his face was slightly pale, but his majesty was not reduced at all.

"The minister sees the emperor. ”

"The courtiers see the emperor. ”

The two saluted towards Murong Jue, Murong Jue stretched out his hand and motioned for the two to get up, his eyes swept over their faces, and he said calmly: "These days, Prime Minister Ye Cheng's official affairs have been handled well, but I have been unwell recently, I am afraid that I will not be able to go to court for some days, Prime Minister, you must continue to do your best." ”

"Minister, minister must be the emperor's leader!"

Ye Teng didn't know that his wife was doing so many tricks behind his back, and it was rare to hear Murong Jue praise him, and even claimed that it was.

"In recognition of Aiqing's merits, I have something to give Aiqing. ”

Saying that, Murong Chu clapped his hands, and a little eunuch came up with a wooden box, Ye Teng's heart was so big that he couldn't recognize the box, but Mrs. Liu recognized that the box was the Ye family's thing, so frightened that her legs became weak, and she knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Mrs. Prime Minister, what's the matter, why did you suddenly kneel?"

"The minister, the courtier, the courtier, I felt a little uncomfortable when the courtiers came, and now this is too excited......"

Mrs. Liu was sweating profusely, but it was really difficult to pretend to be calm.

Murong Jue seemed to notice it, deliberately embarrassed her, and asked pretendly: "In that case, do you need me to invite the imperial doctor for you to take a look?" The imperial doctor in the palace is highly skilled, and he must be able to diagnose what the lady's illness is, and prescribe the right medicine to eradicate the lesion. ”

When saying this, Murong Chu also deliberately reread the word "eradication", so that Mrs. Liu was even more frightened when she heard it.

"No, no, no, no need, thank the emperor for your care. ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Liu pulled the corner of Ye Teng's clothes and motioned for him to help herself get up, Ye Teng saw this and hurriedly helped her to stand up.

"Prime Minister, let's see what's inside. ”

"Yes!"

Ye Teng stepped forward to open the wooden box, and inside it turned out to be a handful of jade Ruyi, and the Ruyi handle was also inlaid with gold and jade as an embellishment, which was very luxurious.

"Some time ago, I mistakenly accepted your concubine, and your concubine made mistakes repeatedly, your family was really unsatisfactory last year, and this wishful reward was given to Aiqing, which can be regarded as a good fortune for the coming year. ”

Murong Jue's words were extremely beautiful, what to make their coming year go smoothly, but it was sarcasm both openly and secretly, Mrs. Liu's face became extremely bad when she heard this, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only obediently follow her husband Xie En.

"The emperor is so gracious, the minister is unforgettable!"

If Ye Teng is not a stupid person, how can he not hear the meaning of Murong Decided's words? But he is just like Mrs. Liu, who dares to be angry and dare not speak.

"This wishful thinking is for Prime Minister Ye, but this box is for his wife. ”

The husband and wife thought that the matter would come to an end here, but who knew that Murong Jue's next words really scared Mrs. Liu a lot.

"This ......"

"I found this thing from the treasury, Xu was married to Emperor Ye, asked the imperial concubine, said that I hadn't seen it, I am afraid that the maids inadvertently pretended to be wrong, put it in the dowry, two days ago called the Internal Affairs Office to redecorate, today it is also considered to be returned to the original owner. ”

Murong Jue said this, and the Liu family found that the box was indeed a little different from the Ye family, and there were gems inlaid in some places, but she always felt uneasy in her heart.

But the person in front of her was the Son of Heaven, how dare she ask, so she had to obediently kneel down and thank you: "Courtiers, thank you for the emperor's gift." ”

"Alright, you two go back, I'm tired. ”

"Yes, the minister is retiring!"

Murong Jue had already issued an order to expel the guests, how could Ye Teng and his wife dare to stay?

On the carriage back to the house, Mrs. Liu was holding the box in her arms, stunned, thinking about Murong Cai's words, she always felt that there was a deep meaning, or was she a thief with a weak heart, and she was too worried?

Until the gate of Ye's mansion, the little eunuch got out of the car to send the two of them in, and when the door was closed, Mrs. Liu suddenly turned around and asked the little eunuch: "Father-in-law, do you know what the emperor means by those words today?"

"What the emperor means, how dare the slave, a rootless person, argue in vain? Since the emperor has given you and the adults a reward, you will accept it, but today the emperor rewards you for your loyalty. ”

The little eunuch's words did not name Murong Jue's meaning, but Mrs. Liu could vaguely hear a little bit, Murong Jue, this kid is now growing in his wings, and he has begun to want to attack their group of old ministers.

"Father-in-law walks slowly. ”

She sent the little eunuch away, turned around and was about to go back to the house, but saw Ye Teng's cold face.

"Ouch, sir, what are you doing here, why are you scaring me for no reason?"

"You're too embarrassed to ask! Get in! I'm going to ask you what good you've done!"
