Chapter 177: Entering the Palace (1st Update)

Han Youning woke up completely.

"Did you say that it was because of something, whether it was to go to the imperial study or which Niangniang Palace?"

Ling'er served Han Youning to get out of bed and freshen up, and said, "It was the words from the clerk that said that the father-in-law who delivered the letter was the chief eunuch of the emperor's side, and he easily went out of the palace to deliver the decree. As for what and where, I didn't say."

Wu Jian?

The number one person among the eunuchs, the court officials had to salute respectfully when they saw it, and they actually became eunuchs who passed the decree.

Han Youning's heart couldn't help but hang.

There is only one maid in the room, and it is inevitable that it will be busy.

and he had to comb his hair and change his clothes.

When I finished dressing up, put on the heavy and gorgeous Zhai clothes and Zhai Guan, and rushed to the outer courtyard, it was already half an hour later.

As soon as Han Youning entered the meeting hall, he saw a white-faced and beardless eunuch greet him with a smile, without the slightest impatience of waiting for a long time.

His eyes swept up and down in a few steps, and he understood the person.

The smile on his face kept hanging, and he bowed and saluted, "Lord Zhaoping, the slave has given you a greeting."

Han Youning's expression was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and he said, "Gonggong Wu is polite. The father-in-law gave a big gift, and the little girl didn't dare to do it."

Wu Jian said with a smile, "I heard that the county lord of Zhaoping is a first-class person, but when I saw it today, the rumors are true. With this bearing alone, it is not comparable to the nobles of ordinary families."

Han Youning smiled and thanked him, "Mr. Wu has a good reputation."

Wu Jian said with a smile, "Today, the emperor and Dingguo Gong are chatting in the imperial study, and I heard that Dingguo Gong has just recognized the daughter of his relatives, who is actually the county lord of Zhaoping. When the emperor heard that he was happy for the Duke of Dingguo, he asked the servants to invite you into the palace."

The habits of eunuchs are all beautiful words in front of people, one is their instinct to protect themselves, not to offend people in front of them, and to form good relationships everywhere. Second, people can't guess their true thoughts.

Whether it will be a blessing or a curse is not yet known.

Han Youning's heart did not let go.

Han Sixing thought that his sister was entering the palace for the first time, and he was afraid that she would be afraid, so he took advantage of helping her into the carriage and comforted her in a low voice, "Don't worry, my father is in the imperial study, and he will be fine." I'll follow you and wait for you at the gate of the palace."

Han Youning nodded and got into the carriage.

From the Guogong Mansion to the palace, it takes half an hour to take a carriage.

The majestic palace is heavy one after another, and the golden light is sprinkled on the glazed tiles, sacred and majestic.

Walking in it, there are bottomless palace roads everywhere, and those places where the sun can't shine under the prosperity and glory are cold for no reason.

When he arrived at the door of the imperial study, Wu Jian went in to say goodbye, and then came out to lead Han Youning in.

The temple was tall and wide, and cold. Even the incense is cold.

Bypassing the screen and turning the fan, Han Youning lowered his eyebrows, and glanced at the person sitting in front of him on the right, who was his father.

She knew that the emperor was staring at her, so she didn't look up, and dragged Zhai Yi slowly to a few steps in front of the dragon case, kneeling down and bowing.

"The courtier, the county lord of Zhaoping, Han Youning, knock to see the emperor."

Ahead of me was a cold voice, "Calm down."

Han Youning got up in thanks, and then listened to Emperor Qingming say, "Raise your head, I will see what the daughter of the Duke of Dingguo looks like."

Han Youning raised his head slightly.

After the huge dragon case, Emperor Qingming was sitting in a precarious position, and he seemed to be in this state of tension forever, without a moment of relaxation.

The navy blue clothes embroidered with gold dragons are majestic and calm, and a pair of eyes are sharp and squinting, looking at her.

This kind of scrutiny is the same as in previous lives.

In her previous life, she saw Emperor Qingming earlier, when the case was being tried in Dali Temple, Emperor Qingming went to observe.

This gaze is like a sharp arrow full of bows on the body, the arrows are sensible, and the cold light is compelling. People can't hide, can't escape.

"How old are you?"

Han Youning said quietly, "Go back to the emperor."

"Yes. It's been a long time, and I can't remember the years." Emperor Qingming's gaze moved away, and he was much more casual, "Dingguo Mansion."

The rules are really good, and it's rare to see me for the first time but not panic."

Han Youning blessed his body and said, "Thank the emperor for his praise."

Han Jun didn't seem to know what modesty was, and laughed loudly, "The emperor doesn't look at him as young, but he has a bit of the courage and courage of a minister. The first time he saw her, he knew that she was the minister's own daughter."

Emperor Qingming snorted lightly.

He looked at Han Youning, "The daughter of the Dingguo Mansion was born but became the daughter of the Chen family, do you know the reason?"

Han Youning said calmly, "Go back to the emperor, I know. It's the same as the destruction of the Chen Mansion, all because of an absurd saying."

"Nonsense." Emperor Qingming rubbed his jade wrench, "Phoenix perch? You are saying that the fire on the day of your birth was not an accident."

"The guards happened to fall asleep, Zhuangzi happened to catch fire, and my mother happened to give birth that day, so there are too many coincidences. If the mother gave birth to a courtier, if she didn't know that the courtier's stay was only a dead end, if she didn't have to stay, why did she have to separate?"

Han Youning looked up at Emperor Qingming, "Now that the Marquis of Yongping is in the edict, the emperor might as well interrogate him and ask him why he wants to put his courtiers to death several times, but it seems that he is sure of the identity of his courtiers."

Emperor Qingming's eyes pondered, as if he was tasting these words.

"Hmm. It's time to ask. How do you think I should condemn him?"

Han Youning said, "The sins of the Marquis of Yongping are not the only one of the Chen family. It is a matter of national affairs, and the courtiers dare not trespass on it."

"I forgive you for your innocence. You say come and hear it."

Han Youning was blessed again, "The Great Zhou legal system is strict, and the punishment for crimes has its own "Great Zhou Law". The crime of Yongping Hou, who killed more than 200 people, was a vicious person according to the law, confiscated his family property, and was executed. Corrupt and pervert the law, the amount is very large, and the house is executed according to the law, and the family members are either sold or exiled."

She only talks about the law, not about her own thoughts.

As for the greed for the Mo army's salary and military rations, Han Youning didn't say it, this is a matter that just broke out in the court today, if she knew, wouldn't she be implicated in the eldest brother.

However, crimes such as the crime of delaying fighter planes for the sake of military rations are not only capital crimes, but also can be convicted.

Emperor Qingming applauded, "Well, it is reasonable, well-organized, and very good. There are not many women who are familiar with "The Law of the Great Zhou". In this way, the Marquis of Yongping is a great sin, and it is not enough to die once."

Han Youning lowered his eyes and did not say a word.

Emperor Qingming's words seem to have the intention of disposing of the Marquis of Yongping. I don't know if it's because of one less city.

Han Jun is quite satisfied with his daughter's response, the tiger father has no dog daughter, that's the case. It's just that the question asked by the emperor will inevitably embarrass the child, and a careless mistake is a big crime.

He also put away the meaning of showmanship, "The youngest daughter is talking nonsense, and the emperor is smiling. The study is not a place for children, so let her go back first."

Emperor Qingming hummed lightly, "Wu Jian, reward the jade Ruyi, take her down."

Han Youning knelt down and thanked him, and withdrew from the imperial study with Yu Ruyi in his arms.

In short, today's events are not as dangerous as she imagined.

After all, it was her father who broke into the palace with a sword in her previous life and scared her and became suspicious.

The sedan chair didn't go far away, but was blocked by two palace maids.
