In the imperial study, wisps of white smoke rose from the gilded beast incense burner, and the fragrance of ambergris suddenly filled the room, Emperor Xiaowen stood in front of the desk with his hands behind his back, and used a gilded spoon to pluck the red incense ash in the incense burner, looking very comfortable and comfortable, not at all as angry as before.

Laifu stood on one side with his waist hunched, and he didn't dare to wipe the beads of sweat on his sideburns, and hurriedly showed the pictures he saw with his own eyes one by one.

Emperor Xiaowen was stunned when he heard the movement in his hand, and immediately hooked the corners of his lips, and asked the person beside him with a bit of playfulness: "In this way, that muddy boy really fell in love with Cheng San's girl?" ”

Laifu didn't dare to speculate about this master's affairs, but he didn't dare not answer his master's words, so Laifu had to smile and say with a little embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the slave has no descendants since he was a child, where do he know this love and love, but he looks at Ji Shizi's attention to Cheng San's girl." ”

The words are not biased at all, after all, since the autumn hunt, Ji Dou has repeatedly spoken for Cheng Xiyuan, not to mention that this time Cheng Xiyuan was poisoned in the East Palace, Ji Dou personally carried him to the Tai Hospital, and the minions up and down the palace could all watch.

Emperor Xiaowen thought about the words of Laifu, suddenly pondered, smiled and scolded the "old slippery head", then threw down the gilt spoon and ordered: "This time the Cheng family girl entered the palace is really wronged, although I punished the prince, I can't help but compensate, you take someone to my private treasury to pick up some good things to send in person, and also tell the girl that she will not enter the palace without an edict in the future, and it is the right thing to take care of her body." ”

Laifu was shocked when he heard this, and secretly guessed whether Emperor Xiaowen's move was a reward or a punishment, but now he was extremely clever and ordered to go on an errand.

As everyone knows, after he left, Emperor Xiaowen fiddled with the jade wrench on his thumb, and his gaze became deeper and deeper in the direction of the East Palace.

At the same time, Ji Dou also sent Cheng Jiyuan back to the Minchang Mansion.

As soon as the porter saw her, he immediately stepped forward and saluted, and then said, "Girl, you can be regarded as back, and my grandfather has something to say that you will go to the study to see him as soon as you return home." ”

Cheng Jiyuan understood what his father meant when he heard this, and sighed secretly in his heart, but he responded as usual and walked towards the study with Si Qi, thinking about how to deal with his father along the way.

But when she walked to the door of the study, she still didn't have any thoughts in her heart.

Without him, just because Cheng Yuandao is very smart, once she lies, she has nothing to hide, and it will affect the people around her, and besides, although there are some gains from entering the palace this time, it is not the original intention in the end.

She sighed in her heart, looked down at the gorgeous clothes on her body, and only after a trace of disgust crossed her eyes did she hide her look, and pretended to be calm and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Cheng Jiyuan gently pushed the door open, and at a glance, he saw his father standing in front of the desk practicing calligraphy, and slowly paced in to bless his body.

"My daughter has seen her father."

Cheng Yuandao didn't call out directly, and only after practicing a big character did he put down the Zihao pen, and indifferently raised his eyes to see his daughter's pale face and crumbling body.

"Get up and sit down."

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Jiyuan was like an amnesty, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him before walking to the side and sitting down.

"What happened when I entered the palace today?"

Generally speaking, Cheng Yuandao will not ask about these, but he can't stand the attitude of Emperor Xiaowen in the study today, and later he met Ji Dou when he was sent out of the palace halfway, and looked at him eagerly going to the direction of the East Palace, and his heart became more and more panicked, and later returned to the house to learn that Cheng Jiyuan was summoned into the palace by Liangdi Niangniang next to His Royal Highness the Prince, and he was even more scared that he sweated out.

But after he calmed down, he also thought that the other party was actually very generous and summoned people into the palace, so he was relieved, but his heart was not quiet, so he practiced big characters, and then somehow the more he practiced, the more irritable he became, until he heard the news that Cheng Jiyuan had returned home.

Now seeing that his beloved daughter is not missing arms or legs in front of him, he is still somewhat relieved, but this little face looks even paler than yesterday, and he can't stop worrying.

Cheng Jiyuan had already guessed that there would be such a question, and sighed secretly, thinking that this matter was not a secret and told the truth.

"What, the prince actually poisoned you!?" Cheng Yuandao asked in shock.

Cheng Jiyuan looked up at the incredulous Cheng Yuandao with a wry smile, pulled the corners of his mouth, and unconsciously showed a touch of mockery: "Daddy, don't be angry, the prince's move is nothing more than to test his daughter, but fortunately, Ji Shizi didn't make a big mistake when he came in time, at most he was a little frightened." ”

"Is the prince really acting like this?" Cheng Yuandao was still a little incredulous.

Although he was already shocked by a play directed and acted by Prince Cheng after returning from the autumn hunt, it was a big drama in the end, and it was easy to erase the traces of the prince, but now in the East Palace, he dared to do this, so could he poison the emperor next time?

Little did he know that his speculation would come true one day in the future.

"There is no way to hide this matter in the palace." Cheng Jiyuan said helplessly, "Your Majesty's golden mouth is open to this matter, and your daughter is fine, so this matter is over." ”

As for Emperor Xiaowen's punishment of Tang Wenqi's idea, it can be ignored at all.

Cheng Yuandao was furious when he heard this, raised his hand and smashed the tea cup in his hand, and with a bang, the Chu clan who came in a hurry outside was frightened and left in a hurry.

Cheng Jiyuan was not frightened, but looked at Cheng Yuandao's angry appearance and felt uncomfortable in the bottom of his heart.

But there's no way around it.

Now she is just the daughter of a minister, and Tang Wenqi is the high-ranking prince, His Royal Highness has an old father who is in charge of the emperor of the Euphorbia Kingdom, even if she can't cover the sky with one hand, as long as she doesn't really ask for her life in front of everyone, what can the Minchang Mansion do?

Not to mention the wise saying that the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.

Cheng Jiyuan lowered his eyes, and the pink fist under his sleeve was clenched tightly, and he didn't let go of his hand until there was a tingling pain in his palm.

"Daddy, this matter ......"

"Since Your Majesty has already opened his mouth, I will not mention this matter again, but in the future, if the prince summons you to the palace again or meets you directly, you will be able to recuperate in the palace during this time, and you don't have to worry about other things."

Cheng Yuandao interrupted Cheng Yuanyuan's words and gave an order directly.

Cheng Jiyuan knew that his father was serious and didn't refute it, but just glanced at the clothes on his body, and hesitated to tell Chu's careful thoughts.

Sure enough, Cheng Yuandao became more and more angry when he heard this, but it was only a few moments before he suppressed his anger, looked at her and said: "I will talk to her about this matter, although she is now the head of the house of Duke Min Chang, but she is not qualified to meddle in Yuan'er's marriage." ”
