The speed of hearing people's words was very fast, and the matter of King Yu sending people to slander the emperor and Mrs. Qi quickly spread, not only the emperor knew, but now the streets and alleys knew it, but there was also another rumor, saying that the emperor coveted Mrs. Qi's beauty.

It is difficult for everyone to distinguish between true and false, but the emperor who knew the news was furious, the last time Yan Sheng and Wan Quji's incident, he originally wanted to let Yan Sheng go, but he didn't expect that he wanted to spread this matter to everyone! It was really in vain of his kindness!

Before King Yu understood what was going on, the emperor took back all the power in his hands, the amount of money in the palace was reduced by two-thirds, the funds were short, and the soldiers and the property in his hands were all recovered, just like an idle prince who had nothing, and even the title of the prince was taken away.

All that remains is this empty mansion and the title of prince in vain.

He wanted to enter the palace to meet the emperor, but the emperor never refused to see him, and then rumors spread, he knew what was going on, but at this time, even if he explained it was useless, after all, that man was indeed the guard in his palace!

Yan Sheng thought that he was framed, but after some interrogation, he found out that it was Concubine Shu's hands and feet, and his mood was shocked.

In the imperial study, Su Xi walked into the room again and reported: "Your Majesty, the lady is still kneeling outside, and she wants to see the emperor." ”

Yan Li didn't raise his eyes, and said directly: "Let people go back, I won't see her, and there is no need to report the news of Concubine Shu to me this month." ”

Su Xi's eyes flashed slightly, bowed his head in response, and retreated.

Walked outside the imperial study, and saw that Concubine Shu, who was stopped by the guards, was kneeling under the sun, Su Xi stepped forward and said, "Concubine Niangniang, the emperor is busy, you better go back!"

"No, this palace must see the emperor today, Gonggong Su, you can help the palace!" Concubine Shu said and stretched out her hand to the palace maid behind her, took a heavy bag of silver, stuffed it to Su Xi, and said, "Gonggong Su, you will help this palace again!"

Su Xi looked at the bag of money, gently pushed it back with his hand, and sneered: "Niangniang, it's not that the slave doesn't help you, but the emperor is angry, don't embarrass the slave anymore, the slave is here to give you an account, even if you kneel here overnight in the past few days, the emperor may not meet you." ”

When Concubine Shu heard Su Xi say this, the whole person sat down on the ground.

She didn't expect the emperor to be so resolute, since Su Xi said so, the emperor must have given an order, she didn't know the emperor's temper, if it really touched his bottom line, it would be like this.

The emperor didn't put Yan Sheng in the prison like King Ning, and he didn't want King An to be reduced to a commoner, but he was deprived of the real power in his hands like this, what is the difference between this and killing him!

"Niangniang!" saw Concubine Shu slumped to the ground, and the palace maid beside her helped her up.

Su Xi looked at the palace maid and said, "Hurry up and help your mother back to Shuxiang Palace." ”

Concubine Shu's heart was like ashes, so she let the palace maid help her back.

Su Xi looked at her distant back, her eyes flashed slightly, and now the situation seemed to be clearer.

It's only been more than a year, first the queen and King Ning, then King An and Concubine Chen, and then this King Yu and Concubine Shu, if you say that this King Ling will only kill, it seems that the world is wrong.

In contrast, the emperor's mood was even heavier.

At the beginning, he was most optimistic about King Ning, but Qi Yi's case was turned over again, and he had to give an explanation to the soldiers and the people, so he punished Yan Xiao with pain, and among his later sons, he was naturally most optimistic about Yan Sheng.

As for why it's not Lao Siyan Qinghan...... Thinking of Yan Qinghan, a strange coldness flashed in Yan Li's eyes, for Yan Qinghan, he always felt that this son did not have such a deep father-son relationship for him, and he didn't like this son since he was a child, as Yan Qinghan's power became stronger and stronger.

The relationship between father and son has always been so plain, like strangers.

But now he seems to have no choice, and God seems to be unable to get along with him, destroying his favorite sons one by one.

"Your Majesty. Su Xi walked in from outside.

Yan Li's eyes sank, and she said, "Didn't you say it? ”

Su Xi stepped forward and bowed and said, "It's the princess of King Jing who is here." ”

Yan Li suddenly paused with his hand in the fold, raised his head and said, "Let her in." ”

Su Xi turned around and motioned to the little eunuch beside him to pass the word, but before he took the tea, he put it on the emperor's desk.

Qiao Ruolan walked into the imperial study and respectfully stepped forward to salute.

"Ruolan sees the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with Jin'an. ”

Seeing Qiao Ruolan like this, the emperor raised his hand and said, "There are no outsiders here, there is no need to be polite, I am your uncle, and you don't have to be restrained." ”

Qiao Ruolan stood up and smiled slightly.

Although she knew that Yan Li's words were just polite words.

The emperor asked Qiao Ruolan to sit on a chair beside her, looked at her eyes that seemed to be crying red, and asked, "What's the matter, someone is bullying our family Ruolan?"

When Qiao Ruolan heard the emperor's question, she wiped away her tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "No." ”

The emperor stood up and said, "If you have any grievances, just say it! Is that kid Pei Yao not good to you?"

"It's none of his business, even if I talk to him, I can't do anything. Qiao Ruolan said.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Qiao Ruolan, and asked, "Tell me, what can make King Jing's Mansion powerless?"

Qiao Ruolan sighed and said, "It's Princess Ling, I met Princess Ling on the street yesterday, she accidentally bumped into me, and she actually ...... He also hit me, and Ruolan's face still hurts so badly. ”

When the emperor heard this, he frowned and asked, "Princess Ling?"

Qiao Ruolan nodded and said: "I have a little contradiction with Princess Ling, but after thinking about it for so long, it is time to release my previous suspicions, how did I return to Chang'an this time, Princess Ling not only provoked my relationship with the Lord of Chuxue, but also beat me on the street......"

As she spoke, she began to cry aggrievedly.

The emperor's impression of Shen Yanshu on weekdays is not bad, although he has not seen it many times, but this girl has good knowledge, and she will not be such a vexatious person.

Seeing the emperor's somewhat suspicious appearance, Qiao Ruolan was even more disgusted with Shen Yanshu in her heart.

She said: "I know that my uncle doesn't believe it, but Princess Ling is one thing in front of her face and one thing behind her back, and she pretends to be a tall person in front of others, which makes it difficult for me everywhere." I knew that my mother had acted excessively towards her, but she was also punished, and she still treated me like this......"

Seeing Qiao Ruolan so aggrieved, the emperor comforted her and said: "If she really treats you like this, I naturally won't spare her, how can you say that you are also the princess of King Jing now, she should not treat you like this even if she is a princess." ”

Qiao Ruolan lowered her eyes and wiped her tears: "Who made our Qiao family have no one, so we can only be bullied." ”

"What are these words! You still have an uncle! If anyone dares to bully you again, tell me!" said the Emperor.

Qiao Ruolan stood up, cried and saluted the emperor: "Thank you, uncle." ”

The emperor said to Su Xi on the side: "Go and pass Princess Ling into the palace!"

Su Xi's eyes flashed slightly, and he replied yes and retreated.

Shen Yanshu happened to be serving in the Queen Mother's Shou'an Palace with Jiang and Qi Yunhao, and when they heard the emperor's summons, they came over without much thought.

Jiang Yu was about to call out to her, but Shen Yanshu said, "Don't worry, we'll leave the palace together later." ”

Jiang Yu nodded.

Shen Yanshu followed the eunuch who passed the message to the imperial study.

As she expected, Qiao Ruolan was also there.

Shen Yanshu stepped forward and saluted: "See my father." ”

She saluted extremely well, and the emperor looked at her and seemed to see Jiang Wu's appearance in her.

The emperor said, "Excuse me, I came to you this time to ask you a few things. ”

Shen Yanshu said: "Erchen must know everything. ”

"Did you beat Ruolan on the street?" the emperor didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly.

Shen Yanshu lowered his eyes and said, "I met the princess on the street yesterday, and there was indeed some conflict. ”

Qiao Ruolan heard her admit it, so she immediately spoke: "Princess Ling, we were indeed a little unhappy in the past, but you won't treat me like this, right?"

Shen Yanshu lowered his eyes and said: "This is my grudge with the princess, I shouldn't have made trouble in front of my father, but since the princess insists on doing so, I don't mind." It's just that it's not right or wrong, how much better can the princess do?"

"You ......" Qiao Ruolan was blocked by her words, and she was speechless for a while, but she didn't expect her to be so thick-skinned, and she didn't know how to restrain herself in front of the emperor.

However, Shen Yanshu's frank appearance made the emperor feel better.

The emperor said: "Since Princess Ling also said that it has always been a contradiction, then you can give me a face, release the previous suspicions, and no longer embarrass each other, how about it?"

Shen Yanshu's eyes flashed, but he felt a little ridiculous, is this sending the two of them away as children?

If it is really so easy to release the past suspicions and smile at the grudge, how can there be so many unsatisfactory in this world.

But since he said so, Shen Yanshu had no choice but to bow slightly: "What my father said is reasonable, the past is the past, and the sons naturally will not deliberately provoke the princess." ”

She didn't say no to this, she just said that if Qiao Ruolan didn't provoke herself, she wouldn't embarrass Qiao Ruolan, but if she made trouble by herself, she would naturally not be blamed.

Qiao Ruolan looked at Shen Yanshu with resentful eyes, it seems that even the emperor doesn't know her true face, one day, she will tear off Shen Yanshu's hypocritical skin, see how she pretends to be!

The emperor said: "It's always wrong to beat someone, apologize, send compensation, this matter is over, if there is a next time, it will not be spared." ”
