Mingyuexi and Gu Yanbai rested for the night, and before dawn the next day, they quietly set off to return to Beijing.

On the occasion of Gu Yanbai's ascension, Mingyuexi pretended to be his attendant, infiltrated the palace, met Zhu Bajie in private, and prepared to exchange identities.

After a burst of smoke, Zhu Bajie touched his big belly, his face was filled with a cheerful smile, and he said with emotion: "The old pig still likes this big belly." ”

"Thank you uncle these days, I will take care of the next things, don't worry." Mingyuexi was grateful in her heart and bowed deeply to him.

In this regard, Zhu Bajie waved his hand, with a look of complete indifference: "Eh, how can you call me uncle now, don't see me like this." ”

He touched his chin and pondered for a moment: "But Xia Nanfeng is not a good stubble, what are you going to do next?" ”

Mingyuexi blinked her eyes playfully, the corners of her mouth showed a cunning smile like a little fox, and her eyes were bright: "I'll sell this off, and then my uncle just needs to watch a good show." ”

While the two were talking, there was the sound of footsteps on the other end.

Mingyuexi gave Zhu Bajie a look, and the other party turned around, accompanied by a cloud of smoke, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"You say people are here, why aren't they? Are you kidding me? The leader's voice raised, and his sharp voice revealed unhappiness.

This made the palace maid very embarrassed, "This ......"

Just when her father-in-law was about to get angry, Mingyuexi walked out from behind the rockery, stepped forward, and Shi Shiran stood still: "Is my father-in-law coming to me?" ”

When the father-in-law saw Mingyuexi, his face was instantly full of smiles: "It turns out that Mrs. Gu Shao is here, hurry up and follow the old slave over, the emperor invites you to go over and discuss something." ”

Ming Yuexi didn't say much about the change in his attitude, just bowed slightly, and immediately let his father-in-law lead the way in front.

The two passed through the Imperial Garden, but today's route did not go to the Imperial Study, but to the direction of the Qianqing Palace.

By the time Mingyuexi arrived at the place, the atmosphere in the hall had solidified, making people's backs cold.

Walking straight to the emperor, Mingyuexi respectfully asked for peace, and Yingying bowed: "Meet the emperor." ”

"Get up, I have something to ask you."

Ming Yuexi could feel the obvious displeasure in the emperor's tone, but she didn't care, her eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and she waited indifferently for the emperor to continue, as if she was an outsider, and she was not shocked.

The emperor's gaze turned from Mingyuexi's body to the side, Gu Yanbai and Xia Nanfeng were already here, in comparison, Xia Nanfeng's tense expression was much more ugly, and he looked coldly in the direction of Mingyuexi.

"I heard that the second prince is pretending to be sick, you say, is this true?" The emperor asked coldly, staring at her with burning eyes.

As soon as these words came out, Xia Nanfeng's gaze shot straight towards Mingyue Creek, and the gaze in his eyes was sharp, as if he wanted to see her through.

If it was on weekdays, Xia Nanfeng would have said it in front of his father, but he never thought that this matter would be discovered by Gu Yanbai and take the opportunity to join him, causing Long Yan to be furious.

The reason is very simple, that is, he Xia Nanfeng deceived the monarch, and as the second prince, he did not bear the responsibilities on his body, but he escaped by pretending to be sick, which violated the identity of the prince.

Mingyuexi nodded, looked at the emperor with a pair of bright eyes without squinting, and confided a few words lightly: "Yes, the courtiers saw it with their own eyes, if the emperor doesn't believe it, you can go and call the imperial doctor to come." ”

Sure enough, the emperor didn't believe her, and when he heard about it, he immediately went to order someone to find the imperial doctor.

It didn't take long for the imperial doctor to come over to confirm that what Ming Yuexi said was true, and the emperor's face became more and more ugly.

"What else do you have to say now?" The emperor's gloomy gaze looked at Xia Nanfeng, and his anger was hidden in his eyes, waiting for a touch.

Mingyuexi and Gu Yanbai didn't take their eyes off him, Xia Nanfeng was scheming, and there must be other tricks. Because of this, Gu Yan Baijin decided to strike first.

But who knows, Xia Nanfeng pursed his lower lip, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he held back, he remained silent, took the initiative to step forward and knelt down in the hall, and kowtowed deeply three times before he spoke calmly, "Erchen pleaded guilty." ”

After hearing this, Ming Yuexi and Gu Yanbai were shocked and puzzled, they thought that there would be at least a war of words, but now nothing happened, which made people uneasy.

After all, Xia Nanfeng is also his son, and since he has confessed his guilt, the emperor is soft-hearted after all, and only punished Xia Nanfeng for dismissal, grounded for several months, and deducted half a year's salary.

At this point, Gu Yanbai could only seize this opportunity and try to promote the crown prince to take over, the emperor was reluctant, but now there was no one to replace him, so he had to agree.

When the matter was over, the emperor was exhausted, and waved his long sleeves tiredly, not wanting to see them again: "You all go down, I'm tired." ”

Xia Nanfeng had recovered, and Mingyuexi had no reason to stay in the palace anymore, so she left with Gu Yanbai after leaving the main hall.

Before leaving the palace, Gu Yanbai and Mingyuexi went to the prince to inform them of the good news, and the prince was very grateful to Gu Yanbai and warmly invited them to stay for dinner.

It wasn't until after noon that the two of them left.

This time, killing two birds with one stone, not only made Xia Nanfeng dumb to eat Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering, but also got an errand for the prince, as long as Mingyuexi thought about it, he was in a good mood.

The carriage headed towards the mansion of the two of them, and after it stopped, Mingyuexi immediately jumped off the carriage, planning to go back to rest and reorganize.

But as soon as she walked to the door, someone suddenly rushed from the side, and the two bumped into each other solidly.

Shen Mengyi exclaimed in pain, jumped up and looked back and scolded: "Who doesn't have long eyes, dares to hit Miss Ben!" ”

Seeing that it was Mingyuexi, Shen Mengyi seized the opportunity to speak humiliatingly, her face was full of pride and disdain, "It turned out to be you, Mingyuexi, you still have the face to come back, you are really not ashamed!" ”

Only when Gu Yanbai looked at it, did he have two points of restraint and pretend to be shy.

For the behavior of a crazy woman like her, Mingyuexi has long been used to it, and there is no turmoil in her heart, she breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled Gu Yanbai to leave, she really didn't have the strength to entangle.

Seeing that the two were leaving, Shen Mengyi suddenly became anxious, stepped forward and stretched out her arms, and stopped the two: "Don't go, I haven't finished my words yet, who allowed you to go?" ”

She grabbed Mingyuexi's wrist, glared at her viciously, and turned her head to look at Gu Yanbai sadly, "Yanbai, when you chose this woman, although I was unwilling, but I was helpless, I didn't expect you to learn more and more from her, how can you ignore me like this?" ”

Gu Yanbai had already seen Shen Mengyi thoroughly, he turned his face sideways, he didn't want to see her at a glance, and his words were indifferent: "This is my house, if you don't leave, then I'll let people drive you away, let go of the stream!" ”
