After listening to Yu Lan's explanation of the cause and effect, Mrs. Zhuang glanced at Jiang Shu with a deep look and said displeasedly: "Just to help her reconcile, you dare to trick me into filing a complaint. It's too much!"
Yu Lan said flatteringly: "Don't be upset, mother, my father, the emperor, mother and concubines are also kept in the dark, and I don't plan to tell them, so I will keep them in the dark."
Mrs. Zhuang became even more angry after hearing this: "Do you know this is bullying the emperor?"
The crime of deceiving the emperor can bring disaster to the entire clan.
Yu Lan nodded and said nonchalantly: "If my father wants to punish me, he must also join in."
Mrs. Zhuang and Jiang Shu were shocked by Yu Lan's rebellious words.
Yu Lan smiled and glanced at Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu understood and held the brocade box in front of Mrs. Zhuang and opened it.
"This is a white jade statue of Guanyin. Madam, please calm down for the sake of Master Guanyin's compassion."
Mrs. Zhuang glanced at the white jade Guanyin in the brocade box and snorted coldly: "You think you can send me away by giving me a statue of Guanyin?"
Mrs. Zhuang had fought with General Zhuang for decades, and she had accumulated a murderous aura, which was very frightening when she got angry.
Jiang Shu held the box and didn't dare to express his anger.
Yu Lan tensed his head and said: "If you are still angry, then I will give you my pair of Dongzhu earrings?"
As she spoke, Yu Lan took out the Dongzhu earrings given to her by Jiang Shu from her sleeve and brought them to Mrs. Zhuang in a serious manner.
Mrs. Zhuang was so angry that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She angrily cursed: "I am an old woman, what do you want her to do?"
"Then don't be upset, mother." Yu Lan smiled warmly.
Mrs. Zhuang sighed: "I went to sue the emperor with death the day before yesterday, and today I went to ask the Holy One to take back the decree. How can I say this? Do you think that the imperial decree is child's play?"
Yu Lan blinked and said, "I will accompany you to the palace and tell you that Imperial Physician Chen has cured Yun'er. In the name of Marquis Jing'an's military exploits and loyalty, I will let Shen Yanyang go."
"My father already thinks highly of Marquis Jing'an and will definitely agree."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhuang said angrily: "You have already thought of your next move, and you are just waiting for me to jump into your pit."
Yu Lan lowered his head with guilt and made no excuse.
She did take advantage of Mrs. Zhuang in this matter, it was her fault.
"Okay, let's go back and change and enter the palace." For the sake of Master Guanyin, Mrs. Zhuang forgave them.
"Yes, mother." Yu Lan responded and pulled Jiang Shu away.
After leaving Mrs. Zhuang's yard, Jiang Shu still had lingering fears: "The old lady is so majestic, isn't the princess afraid?"
They are both mothers-in-law, and Mrs. Zhuang is much more powerful than Mother Shen and Mrs. Shen.
"Don't be afraid, my father is much more fierce than her when he gets angry." Yu Lan chuckled meaninglessly.
When the emperor is angry, life and death are unpredictable. No woman can compare with Mrs. Zhuang.
Yu Lan's words made Jiang Shu stand in awe, and also made Jiang Shu understand that Yu Lan's respect for Mrs. Zhuang was out of politeness and upbringing, not fear.
Mrs. Zhuang must have understood this, so she agreed to enter the palace and accompany Yu Lan to fool around after being deceived and furious.
"Where's your He Li Shu? Show it to me." Yu Lan asked Jiang Shu after changing clothes.
Jiang Shu took out the Heli book from his arms, unfolded it, and handed it to Yu Lan.
Yu Lan took a quick look and said clearly: "Sure enough, it hasn't been approved by the government yet."
"Write your name quickly and put your fingerprint on it." Yu Lan took Jiang Shu to the desk.
Jiang Shu didn't know why, but he still did as he was told.
After the ink was dry, Yu Lan folded the He Li book and put it away. He smiled slyly at Jiang Shu and said, "Wait, I'll give you a big gift."
Yu Lan entered the palace with Mrs. Zhuang, while Jiang Shu waited patiently at the general's residence.
As the emperor's first daughter, Yu Lan has been smart and cheerful since she was a child, and has been deeply favored by the emperor.
Marrying to General Pingxi made the emperor feel guilty, so he allowed her to enter and exit the palace at will.
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess and Mrs. Zhuang would like to see you." The emperor was reviewing the memorial and was slightly surprised to hear the report from the chamberlain.
Didn't he already issue an order to punish the son of Marquis Jing'an? What else are they doing here?
"Let them come in." The emperor put down his pen and the memorial in his hand.
Yu Lan and Mrs. Zhuang entered the palace to salute, and the emperor raised his hand to ask them to stand up and give them seats.
"Why are you here suddenly?" The emperor asked directly.
Madam Zhuang was too embarrassed to speak, so Yu Lan had no choice but to stand up and say, "There is indeed something I want my father to agree to."
"Oh? What's the matter?" The emperor was confused.
Yu Lan told the emperor the prepared speech.
After hearing this, the emperor frowned heavily and said with an angry look on his face: "What do you think is the imperial edict? You just take it back when you say it will be taken back?"
Yu Lan said: "Father, there is no need to take it back, just issue another favor."
The emperor was puzzled and asked with his eyes.
Yu Lan said seriously: "Zhuang Yun has been diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor and has no serious problems. I remember that Marquis Jing'an has done a good job in guarding the border. His son is young and careless. So he was expelled from the capital and instead stayed in seclusion for a year. The Marquis of Jing'an was fined half a year's salary."
"You are very considerate." The emperor said with a smile.
If other people saw the emperor like this, they would definitely be frightened, but Yu Lan was used to it and was not afraid at all.
He even said in a high-sounding voice: "My son, this is for the sake of my father. Marquis Jing'an is a rare general. Only by giving him kindness and power can he be more loyal."
The emperor laughed at Yu Lan's shamelessness: "Tell me, why did you go to such trouble?"
Yu Lan knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said truthfully: "The Marquis of Jing'an's wife Jiang Shu is a good friend of Erchen. She was wronged in the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion and wanted to make peace with her. The Marquis of Jing'an made a request to his father to pardon Shen Yanyang, and then he agreed. Make peace with her."
The emperor hummed: "You are kind and righteous."
"Thank you, father, for the compliment." Yu Lan pretended not to understand and agreed shamelessly.
The emperor was too lazy to argue with her and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I agree."
"Thank you, Father." Yu Lan took two steps forward, took something out of his arms and said, "I have one more thing to ask of Father."
"What else do you want?" The emperor frowned, having a bad feeling.
"This is the letter of reconciliation between Marquis Jing'an and Jiang Shu. I would like to ask my father to stamp it." Yu Lan laid the letter of peace on the emperor's desk.
The emperor's eyes widened and he pretended to be angry: "Do you think my jade seal is just for fun?"
Yu Lan muttered softly: "When I was little, I used it to cover A Zheng's butt."
The emperor was so angry that he couldn't speak. He angrily took the jade seal and stamped it on the book of He Li. He had a headache and said, "Hurry up and don't make me angry if you have nothing to do."
Yu Lan put away the book with satisfaction and said with a smile: "My son, please retire. I will come to visit my father, emperor, mother and concubine another day."
Mrs. Zhuang didn't speak the whole time. She came out of the royal study and looked at Yu Lan's figure with a serious look on her face.
The Holy Father loves Yu Lan so much. If she is gone one day, will he order Yu Lan to remarry?
By then, will General Pingxi's Mansion still exist, and will it still have the surname Zhuang?
Yu Lan didn't know what Mrs. Zhuang was thinking, so she happily returned home and returned He Lishu to Jiang Shu.
"Go ahead and talk to me in detail after you've sorted it out."
Jiang Shu was extremely grateful, and returned to the Marquis of Jingan's Mansion with confidence, carrying the He Li Shu with the jade seal.
