An Yuxiao knelt for several hours. At this time, his legs were numb. He sat firmly on the soft chair, but felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He didn't understand what the emperor meant. They said that his majesty was kind and a wise king.
At this time, An Yuxiao felt that all the ice knives were hidden behind the emperor's smiling face, which made his spine feel cold. The black gauze hat on his head would be unprotected at any time. He sighed to himself: "I have been an Anping official for more than twenty years." Hou, he truly realized what it means to accompany a king like a tiger. Before that, he had no chance to see the emperor."
Emperor Nan took a sip of tea leisurely and ordered Eunuch Fu to serve tea for An Yuxiao: "My dear, don't be cautious. I just want to know the situation from you."
An Yuxiao couldn't bear the torture in her heart. She knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "I definitely didn't mean to hide it. I am really worried and scared. Your Majesty, forgive me. My wife has also been framed."
"Your Majesty will kill or behead me, and I will not hesitate to die. I only ask that your Majesty spare my family."
An Yuxiao has already told the emperor the whole story. He has not heard from his wife in the past few months. He is worried every day, fearing that others will find out that Mei Yunluo was poisoned by Lin Wan. Hiding back and forth, I didn't expect that the emperor still knew about it.
When the emperor saw An Yuxiao kneeling on the ground, his whole body was wet with fear. He really didn't know how he could give birth to such a bold daughter. Compared to An Yuxiao, his daughter was much more lovable than him.
An Yuxiao had been the chief of Anping for decades because of his dead old father. Later, he married a concubine from Lin Xiang's family. Prime Minister Lin didn't promote him. With his temperament, it's no wonder that Prime Minister Lin looked down on him.
However, it was all thanks to his weak temper that Prime Minister Lin didn't take notice of him. An Yuxiao's marriage to the daughter of the Lin family had nothing to do with the Lin family. Otherwise, the emperor today would not have simply made him kneel down for a few hours.
He did give birth to a good daughter, which gave him a lot of face.
Nan Di waited for a while, then laughed: "Just wait a little longer, it's on the way, it should be soon."
An Yuxiao didn't understand what the emperor meant, and lowered his head even lower. He was so frightened that he almost fainted. He felt that the emperor at this time was different from what he usually saw, and his eyes were unfathomable.
…
Kyoto, East Gate, Chang'an Street.
On the bustling and crowded Chang'an Avenue, a huge group of people was slowly driving in from the east gate. What was surprising was that there was a coffin on the carriage behind the group, followed closely by two prison cars. A man and a woman are locked up.
Nangong Yuanyi's escort was riding horses around the prison car and following beside him.
Suddenly, everyone saw clearly that the person in the prison car was no one else, but Prince Nangong, who had disappeared for several months.
Suddenly, the whole street was in an uproar. They pointed and went around the streets and alleys to spread the word: "Isn't that Prince Nangong? He is locked up. That dandy Crown Prince is locked up."
"What did he do? I remember that a few months ago I lost a grasshopper to him."
"Who is the person locked in the other prison car? It's a little girl with pretty features. What happened?"
In an instant, the news of Prince Nangong's arrest spread to every corner of Kyoto, and a long queue stretched from East Avenue to Chang'an Street.
An Xiyue never walked on the street often. Even if she just passed by in a carriage once in a while, facing the huge crowd of people, An Xiyue's back was straight. The first time she appeared on Chang'an Street, it was in the presence of thousands of people. Returning to Beijing in a prison car.
It would be difficult for her not to want to be famous, and she didn't know what Nangong Yuanyi was doing, but she would willingly follow Lin Xu into the prison car.
