Huang Yan always felt that there was something strange about this.

He did stand on the passage all the time, but he didn't see the eldest princess come in, or did he see Hu Yanjin go out, and they moved flowers and trees under his nose.

At this time, the emperor had already received a report from Yulin Wei, saying that the high father-in-law of Chonghua Palace had returned with the two personal maids of the eldest princess Baoying. Asked to see the emperor.

This is a big deal, they were robbed by robbers, it has been a while, Hu Yanjin has been in prison for half a month and has not returned, why did he come back at this time? The emperor received them in the study.

"Your Majesty, when we entered the city just now, the eldest princess saw the imperial list posted on the city gate, so she cried and wanted to go to the prison to see Huyan...... Jin, we stopped her, and she got angry, jumped out of the carriage and walked by herself. Xiao Gao knelt on the ground and hung his head and said:

"The eldest princess won't let us follow, and said...... Say...... She is going to die with Hu Yanjin......"

"What nonsense! Is the prison also what she wants to go into? Xiao Yan, go and bring the eldest princess back. I'm glad you told me what happened during your time. ”

"Yes. The eldest princess was taken away by the robbers that day, and I robbed one of the robbers' horses and chased after them. Nazhi chased to the area of Yanqi Lake, and Weichen fell into their trap and was caught.

They had a stronghold on the island in the middle of Yanqi Lake, and we were taken to the island. The robbers were going to kill me, but the eldest princess said that the one who killed her, she would kill herself, and let them beat the chickens and eggs.

She told the robbers that there are thousands of women in the Ming Dynasty, but there are only five eldest princesses, and it is better to treat her as a woman than to take her hostage...... She said that the emperor would exchange gold and silver for her......"

The emperor laughed: "This is like what she said, and she is used to putting gold on her face." Then why didn't you see each other later? ”

That night, Wechen broke the rope and a few of us ran out of their house. However, this was the island in the middle of the lake, and we couldn't find a boat, and the two of them couldn't swim, so they threw stones into the lake to make them think we had both jumped. ”

"And where are you hiding?" The emperor was a little curious.

"The eldest princess taught us to hide in the water and use reed poles to vent our air. After hiding for the night, in the morning his supply ship arrived, and I killed their men, took the ship, and we went ashore.

Who knew that the people who met them on the shore again, chased and killed all the way, and we ran in the wrong direction, no, we finally got rid of them, became jewelry, changed the carriage, and then fled back to Beijing. ”

The emperor thought for a long time, was noncommittal, nodded and said:

"The three of you go back to Chonghua Palace first, how to punish it, wait until I see Baoying."

After a while, Xiao Yan came back with the eldest princess, followed by Huang Yan and Zhang Yue.

"Are you going to prison and fighting?"

The emperor saw that Hua Qiao was wearing a cloak, a men's bun on his head, and a black dirty mark on the left and right on his face, so he couldn't help blurting out.

Huang Yan hurriedly said first: "Your Majesty! Just now, the prison caught fire, and the eldest princess took advantage of the chaos to let Hu Yanjin go! Fortunately, now that the city gate has been lowered, Dongchang has sent people to search everywhere......"

"Let Hu Yanjin go?" The emperor's face sank, and he looked at the disheveled Bao Ying and asked sharply:

"Baoying, is there such a thing?"

"Yes, I put the people. When I arrived, there was no guard at the gate of the prison, so I went in, and when I saw that Brother Huyan was there, I covered him and escaped. Hua Qiao replied calmly.

The emperor felt a little incredible, stared at Zhang Yue and asked, "How do you manage the edict?" Where are the guards and jailers? Can I still trust you?! ”

"Your Majesty, you have wronged me, you see, I am still on crutches, haven't I been at home on leave these days? In the past two days, Lord Huang has been in charge. ”

Zhang Yue said with an aggrieved face: "What the eldest princess of Baoying said is right, when I passed by, I saw that there were no guards outside the prison, so I got out of the car and went in to check, who knew that I saw the eldest princess inside, but Hu Yanjin ran away." ”

The emperor looked at his crutches and remembered that Zhang Yue had fallen from his horse, and he hadn't seen him for two days.

"Huang Yan! Why can the eldest princess enter the prison at will, and Hu Yanjin can also run out at will? Where are you? ”

Huang Yan's forehead was sweating: "In ...... Inside the Imperial Prison...... But there was a fire in the cell at that time, and the scene was a bit chaotic......"

"Death row prisoners can run away at will, is this a bit messy? If you manage it well, should you be able to get in? Huyanjin can escape with a piece of clothing? The emperor sneered:

"My emperor's list has been posted, do you want me to lose my trust in the world? Huang Yan, you can't think of a way tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, I will send you to the execution ground! Bao should stay, and the others should retreat. ”

Seeing that they were all gone, Hua Qiao had a smile on her face: "Brother Huang, you are really sharp-eyed, you can see at a glance that Huang Yan has a problem......

"Baoying, I think you are too pampered and arrogant. Originally, it was a good thing for you to go back to the palace today, but you didn't come back to see the emperor first, and ran to rob the prison! ”

Zhu Zhanji's voice was cold: "How can there be such a coincidence in the world? You happen to be coincidental, Zhang Yue is also coincidental, the only unfortunate thing is Huang Yan? I can't let you break what I decide. Hu Yanjin will not die, and there will always be a resurrection. What's more, he also betrayed me. ”

"His background was not chosen by himself, but he felt that you would be a Ming monarch, who could make the people of Daming live a good life, and chose to stand with you. If this is also wrong, then you will cut off my head as well, and let the world see how wise and powerful you are! ”

"You think I wouldn't dare?"

"Of course you dare! You want to cut off my head, more importantly, you want people to forget that there is such a person as me, so that you won't mention it again, you want to accept your own sister as a concubine?

We didn't know who we were back then, so what's the shame about that? Why do you care what those villains think, and you don't want to think about who will benefit from this rumor......"

"Bold! I don't know what to do! Wang Zhen, bring Baoying back to Chonghua Palace to be grounded. ”

Zhu Zhanji was annoyed and angry, picked up a book, and no longer looked at the buckwheat. When the buckwheat withdrew, he vented and slammed the fold in his hand to the ground.

Hua Qiao actually guessed her own thoughts!

He really thought it was ridiculous at first, but some people often turned it up, and the rumors spread too much, so they naturally changed their appearance, which was very unfavorable to him.

Maybe Hua Qiao is right, someone is deliberately distorting and amplifying this matter, and this person is very likely to be in the harem. But Zhu Zhanji's harem is only a few people, and he doesn't want to make any more trouble before the end of the hot filial piety in May.

Since Hua Qiao decided to come back, she was not afraid of the emperor's punishment, if she was just grounded in Chonghua Palace, they would always find a chance to escape.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Chonghua Palace, the door opened, and the black bean ran out excitedly from inside, pounced on Hua Qiao, and his tail was about to break.

"Eldest princess, the emperor is in charge of the affairs of the world, there are thousands of things, don't make trouble for the emperor, let you be grounded in Chonghua Palace, you can think about it behind closed doors, so you can do it yourself."

"Thank you father-in-law for reminding me."

Xiao Gao saw that the palace and chamberlains in the palace were removed just now, and he was very afraid that it was the princess who was imprisoned, and this time, there was no Zhang Yue to deal with them.

When he heard that it was grounded, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
