emperor:"……"
Although the praise was a bit perfunctory and not as serious as praising the prince and the third prince, it was still a compliment.
The carriage was quickly prepared, and the emperor took Yu Yiluo out of the palace in a low-key manner.
Not long after the carriage drove, it stopped in front of the Grand Master's Mansion.
Yu Yiluo was carried out of the car, and what he saw was a mansion. When he looked up, he saw a golden nanmu plaque hanging just above the red lacquer door, with the three characters "Taishifu" written on it with flying phoenixes.
The emperor snorted coldly and said to Eunuch Cao next to him: "I'll have this plaque removed later. It's an eyesore."
After saying that, he walked past the doorman and went straight in.
"Who are you?" A maid asked in confusion when she saw the three people coming in.
Because he left the palace in a low-key manner, the emperor wore ordinary clothes, and so did Eunuch Cao.
"I……"
Just as Eunuch Cao was about to speak, the maid's eyes fell on Yu Yiluo, and her expression changed.
"Are you here to see the young master? Wait a minute, I'll call the madam."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away, leaving Eunuch Cao with a puzzled look on his face.
...
Mrs. Fang was having tea in the main hall, and when she saw the maid beside her running in in a hurry, she said displeasedly: "What's going on? You're in a hurry."
The maid bowed and glanced at Mrs. Fang. When she saw that he didn't care about her, she walked up to Mrs. Fang and whispered in Mrs. Fang's ear.
"Master, I'm going out to do some errands."
Taishi Fang was still immersed in the matter of being dismissed, and waved his hands with a look on his face.
He could go to court before, but now he can't go to court, and the emperor refuses to see him.
When the emperor didn't see him, he wrote a note, but he couldn't hand it in after he wrote it.
After leaving the main hall, Mrs. Fang, accompanied by her maid, went to Eunuch Cao and the other three. She looked at Yu Yiluo in the emperor's arms and sighed.
"You are here to look for that traitor, right? Is this his child?"
After saying that, she winked at the maid, who handed a bulging purse to Eunuch Cao.
"This is money for you, give me the child, you go!"
The young master has been out having fun a lot. In the past, women often came to the door, but they were dismissed by the madam. Unexpectedly, the one who came now would actually come with a child in his arms.
[Mrs. Fang must have regarded me as the child of her useless son. Judging from Mrs. Fang's skillful appearance, she must have spent a lot of money to wipe her son's butt. 】
Eunuch Cao frowned and scolded: "How shameless, I haven't even seen the emperor and the little princess."
Master Fang came out of the main hall and walked over quickly when he heard a familiar voice.
It was Eunuch Cao's voice. Did the emperor think of him?
Seeing the emperor in the courtyard, Master Fang felt happy.
He stepped forward, knelt down and saluted, and said in a loud and clear voice, "My lord, see you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
Mrs. Fang and the maid, who were still doubting the authenticity of Eunuch Cao's words, quickly knelt down and saluted.
"Get up!"
Master Fang stood up, smiled and led the emperor to the main hall.
Compared to the smile on his face, Mrs. Fang's face looked a little pale.
She never expected that the emperor would be so low-key and come with a child in his arms. Now, not only did she have to face the master's questioning, but she also had to bear the emperor's anger.
"Is Fang Mansion a den for kidnappers?" Eunuch Cao looked at Taishi Fang with a smile, raised his hand and shook the silver in his hand, "Your wife hit us with silver before the emperor and I entered, and even asked the little princess to stay. Are you treating us as kidnappers?"
Master Fang glanced at his wife with a questioning look in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, forgive me," Mrs. Fang knelt on the ground, "A common woman doesn't know that you are the Emperor."
"Your Majesty, this is a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."
Grand Master Fang smiled and changed the subject, "The old minister's injury has healed. What orders does the Emperor have when he arrives?"
The emperor stared at him with a half-smile, "It seems that you have been hit too many times and you have found a skill."
Eunuch Cao tried hard not to laugh, but Yu Yiluo couldn't.
[Seize the bamboo shoots, you have taken all the bamboo shoots on the mountain. 】
"I came here today because I want to know who restored the Gong Le Tu."
Gong Le Tu?
Master Fang thought for a while before remembering.
"My daughter restored it. Your Majesty, didn't you let your daughter into the palace because of this? Is there something wrong with the painting?"
Logically speaking, he shouldn't. He spent a lot of money. Could it be that he was deceived?
"You're still lying now," the emperor slammed the table, "I already know that Concubine Li repaired it, how else do you want to make it up?"
Taishi Fang, who was still wondering if he had been deceived, was surprised. When he was looking for someone, he didn't know it was Concubine Li.
"Your Majesty, I must have said the wrong thing at that time. I didn't know it was Concubine Li."
The emperor sneered and winked at Eunuch Cao.
Eunuch Cao called to the door: "Here, take off the plaque on the door of the mansion."
The servant heard the conversation outside and knew the emperor's identity, so he did not dare to disobey.
"emperor."
Master Fang was anxious and realized that the emperor was here to settle accounts today.
The emperor drank tea calmly, as if he didn't hear him.
After a while, the servants came over to report that the plaque had been removed.
The emperor then looked at the anxious Master Fang beside him.
"How much do you know about what the Queen has done these years?"
Grand Master Fang touched his beard and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know."
He just saw that other families had daughters entering the palace, so he wanted to send his daughters there to consolidate his status, but the emperor would not agree, so he had to find another way.
After he thought of a way to send his daughter there, she didn't contact him either.
Master Fang lowered his eyes. Isn't it true that his daughter, Zha Li Fei, is a villain?
He knew that his daughter had some scheming intentions, but it was a good thing for a woman to survive in the palace, so he didn't control her too much.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, the emperor looked away.
"Did the Queen do something?" Master Fang asked uneasily.
Mrs. Fang, who was kneeling on the ground, also pricked up her ears. If something happened to her daughter, the Fang family would be doomed.
The son is useless, and the Fang family's hopes are pinned on their daughter.
"Don't worry," the emperor stood up, "I will call you on the day when the queen is interrogated."
At this time, a boy ran outside.
"Master, there are people outside who say that the young master raped a common girl, and they want you to give an explanation."
The boy spoke in a hurry, and only after he finished speaking did he notice someone was inside.
The main hall was extremely quiet, and Taishi Fang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Even if the treacherous son is useless, he still dares to rob a civilian girl.
[Could someone be adding fuel to the flames? Grand Master Fang's son often took advantage of the fact that he had a sister who was the Queen. These common people, considering the status of the Queen and Grand Master, dared not speak out. Every time, Mrs. Fang sent her away with money. 】
The queen can act, and although she is not as prestigious as Queen Lu in the hearts of the people, she is still considered a good queen. Therefore, the people who were bullied by Fang Qiang dared not speak out, because even if they did, others would just laugh it off.
Some people even think that it is a blessing to have a relationship with the queen's brother.
