Chapter 1377: Return from the Border Pass
"Madam, I heard today that the third prince has returned from Yangcheng." After a while, Qi Xiaoxian decided to tell Ruan Di the news, after all, Liao Changkong's matter was asked by Ruan Di for him, and according to common sense, Ruan Di should also manage this matter.
But now that Ruan Di has her own tavern, as for whether she wants to take care of these things anymore, he still has to ask her consent, after all, once this matter above the court is involved, it will be difficult to withdraw again.
Ruan Di's smile gradually froze, she didn't expect Liao Qiufeng to come back from Yangcheng after so long, maybe she didn't dare to accept that her imperial brother would do such a thing, so she didn't come back too early.
"Did Qi Yun come back with him too?" After a long time, Ruan Di asked a question that Qi Xiaoxian had nothing to do with her, and she only thought that for Qi Yun's sake, she might really have to participate in this matter, otherwise there was really no way to explain to Qi Yun and Liao Qiufeng.
Qi Xiaoxian nodded, it seemed that the two families of them were separated from yesterday, but today they have all changed.
At the beginning, they came to Fenghuan City to join Liao Changkong because of Liao Qiufeng, and now that Liao Changkong has fallen to this point, they also have part of the responsibility.
"Then let's go to the palace, this matter must be over, otherwise there is no way to explain to anyone, even in front of Qi Yun, I can't raise my head."
Ruan Di finally made up her mind, some things can't be solved by escaping, just like Liao Changkong's matter, although Liao Changkong has done too many things that make Ruan Di sad, and even humiliated her, she still feels that Liao Changkong has become what he is now, and she has part of the reason.
Qi Xiaoxian showed a smile, sure enough, Ruan Di was Ruan Di, he had long thought that Ruan Di would agree to this matter, after all, he knew Ruan Di's character.
The next morning, after the two of them bathed and changed their clothes, they put on palace clothes, got into the carriage and entered the palace, and Qi Yu helped take care of the tavern, so they didn't need to worry about anything.
"Your Majesty, Qi Xiaoxian and his wife have arrived." The little yellow door came in and spread the word, the old emperor was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't seen Ruan Di for a while, and he didn't expect Ruan Di to promise him to come to the palace again.
"The courtiers meet the emperor, His Royal Highness the Prince, and the third prince." Ruan Di raised his eyes and saw that almost all the people who should be there were there, except for Qi Yun, women were not allowed to appear in the Feng Dynasty, she was an exception.
Liao Qiufeng looked at Ruan Di below with a complicated expression, it was this woman who made their dynasty bloody, and even the old emperor actually fell in love with Ruan Di.
However, he is not an unreasonable person, this time it is indeed that Liao Changkong is too impulsive, Ruan Di is the person he recommended in the past after all, if he wants to assassinate her, he will only say a word after all.
What's more, his wife is Qi Xiaoxian's sister, no matter what she says, she has to give her a little face, I heard that his younger brother actually wanted to assassinate Qi Xiaoxian together, which was too impulsive.
This time it was even more direct rebellion, if it weren't for Ruan Di to speak for him, he would have died in Huangquan, Liao Qiufeng can be said to be grateful and extremely hateful to Ruan Di.
"Let's be even, this time I will decide Liao Changkong's affairs with you, and it has nothing to do with those ministers in the court, if you have anything to say, you can speak freely."
The emperor sitting in the seat had already tried his best to lower his posture, presumably no emperor could discuss the rebellious courtiers as calmly as he was, but he had too much experience and looked down on it.
His eyes have been on Ruan Di's body, as if he has never seen enough, he has never tasted love when he was young, it has always been a family marriage, and he has always been obedient.
All of these three thousand beauties in his harem were accepted into the palace because they were helpful to his country, and each of them flattered him in every way, and each had a ghost in his heart.
Only Ruan Di did not approach his heart with any purpose, although it was Ruan Di after amnesia, he didn't remember anything, he admitted that his methods were too despicable, but he didn't regret it.
What is strange is that when the old emperor said this, the hall was quiet, and no one spoke first, this Liao Changkong is a rebel after all, whether it is to plead for mercy or ask for the beheading of the capital is not a reasonable explanation.
What's more, at this time, no one is willing to come out to be this bird, the reason why Liao Qiufeng doesn't speak is because Liao Changkong is his younger brother, if he says anything, he is shielding his younger brother, but in the bottom of his heart, he doesn't want Liao Changkong to be sentenced.
Ruan Di had already said that she wanted to stay away from life in the palace, so she didn't speak again, after all, she had already pleaded for Liao Changkong very kindly, and she didn't need to say anything about the rest of the matter.
"Since you don't speak, then I'll tell you about it, the last time Liao Changkong rebelled, I originally planned to ask for a behead, and it was Madame Ruan who interceded for him, and I didn't think much about it for the sake of Madame Ruan and Qi Xiaoxian being my life-saving benefactors."
The old emperor paused and seemed to be watching Ruan Di's reaction, but to his disappointment, Ruan Di didn't have any expression, just sat there blankly, and didn't seem to hear him.
"Mrs. Ruan said that she wanted me to listen to the opinions of the three princes that day, after all, Liao Changkong is the younger brother of the third prince, and I thought it was the same thing, so I agreed."
The old emperor didn't say anything in the second half of his sentence, but focused on Liao Qiufeng's body, and his expression was self-evident.
Since the emperor has already asked him to speak, there is no question of cover-up: "Back to my father, Erchen thinks that Liao Changkong's behavior this time is indeed a great crime, but Erchen thinks that Liao Changkong is confused, and asks his father to forgive him for his life in the face of Erchen." ”
Ruan Di asked the emperor to call Liao Qiufeng back for this purpose, just to prevent the emperor from directly executing Liao Changkong, and Liao Changkong did understand her intentions and maximized his face.
It's just that this is a bit of a risk after all, if the emperor repents at this time, or is just using Ruan Di to test him, then his position will be in jeopardy, and he may have to lose his head with Liao Changkong.
The expected thunderous anger did not come, the old emperor fell silent instead, Liao Shuitian looked at the emperor with some surprise, could it be that he really wanted to spare Liao Changkong's life because of Ruan Di.
