The eldest princess seemed to notice Emperor Yong's gaze. She raised her head inadvertently, and Emperor Yong caught the panic and fear in her eyes.
By the time she tried to calm down her expression, it was already too late.
Emperor Yong looked at the eldest princess up and down several times, as if he couldn't believe that this was the eldest daughter he was once proud of.
Seeing Emperor Yong's extremely disappointed face, the eldest princess panicked and blurted out: "Father?"
Emperor Yong closed his eyes and suddenly asked lightly:
"Xian'er, what do you think of Tan Xiuzuan?"
A trace of panic flashed across the eldest princess's face, and then she endured the fear and said, "Father, Xian'er doesn't understand what you mean."
Emperor Yong suddenly stood up, looked at Tan Hanchi and said coldly: "Tan Xiuzhan, raise your head."
Tan Hanchi obediently raised his head when he heard this.
Emperor Yong curled his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"My Tan Aiqing is very talented, a gentleman like jade, and more importantly, young and promising, with a big heart, and is worthy of a big job."
"With such a talented person, how about being Xian'er's consort?"
Tan Xiuzhan's eyes flashed slightly, and he understood Emperor Yong's thoughts in an instant, but he did not dare to show it, and immediately knocked his head on the ground in "fear" and said quickly:
"Your Majesty, no!"
The eldest princess felt uneasy and immediately replied: "Father, such a person can stay with his father and assist him. Xian'er is very happy in her heart."
"As for Xian'er's marriage, of course -"
When Emperor Yong heard this, the smile on his face suddenly faded away, and he was livid and furious!
"You know that I need Tan Xiuzuan! In that case, what are you planning to do? Are you trying to destroy all the people around me who can be used?"
Emperor Yong suddenly roared, and with a bang, he dropped the pen holder on the case at the feet of the eldest princess.
There was a crackle, and the pen in the pen holder was thrown all over the floor.
"ah--"
The eldest princess and the four maids screamed instinctively, and the eldest princess even curled up and shivered with fear.
The prince did not expect that Emperor Yong would be so angry. When he spoke, the shock on his face was real.
"This...Father, you mean...No, this is impossible! How could the imperial sister make fun of her own reputation, and how could she make fun of our royal family's face!"
"The emperor's sister is knowledgeable and courteous. She is the most dignified and dignified. There is absolutely no way that the emperor's sister arranged this matter!"
Emperor Yong was so angry that his right hand that just dropped the pen holder was still trembling slightly.
"Impossible? Since this palace maid was willing to die for offending Xian'er just now in the Qiao Mansion, how can she be considered disloyal to Xian'er?"
"Now you are hesitating and taking the blame, aren't you just worried about pulling out Xian'er?"
"However, this loyal servant did not expect that each of these tasks was beyond the ability of a little palace maid like her!"
"It's not easy to buy that dirty medicine from Nanli Country. You won't just buy a small portion!"
"Huang Pei!"
Huang Pei immediately knelt in front.
Emperor Yong's eyebrows were gloomy and his voice was cold, "Search the palace! Take people to search the Zhaohua Palace!"
"Father!"
The eldest princess looked frightened and cried out sadly.
"Father, Xian'er didn't do it! Xian'er didn't do this!"
She already felt dizzy at this time.
She did buy not just one, but three!
After all, there may be damage on the road, and the plan may not succeed on the first try, so she is used to being prepared.
At this time, the other two copies are hidden in Zhaohua Palace. If they are found, they will be doomed!
"Father! Once the palace is searched tonight, everyone will know it. In this case, Xian'er will really have no shame in staying in the palace!"
Emperor Yong laughed angrily after hearing this.
"Are you still worried about the shame of searching the palace? Xian'er, when you did these things, did you ever think about where to put my face and the royal family's face!"
"The idea actually affected the people around me. Are you serious..."
At this point, Emperor Yong suddenly raised his dark eyebrows and asked sternly: "Tell me, did the second brother have any involvement in this matter, and was it his idea?"
The eldest princess was in a state of confusion, but Emperor Yong's question brought her back to some sense.
No matter what the outcome is today, her second brother will be her last resort. She can't turn him in, otherwise after today's complete defeat, there will be no chance of her turning around.
Thinking of this, the eldest princess shook her head hastily, "No, the second brother has nothing to do with this matter!"
As soon as the eldest princess finished speaking, Emperor Yong suddenly propped himself up on the long case in front of him and closed his eyes for a long time in silence.
When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, he clicked his tongue twice in his heart. To be more powerful, it would have to be the Holy One. The eldest princess will not bring it upon herself!
The prince was still acting conscientiously. He looked at the eldest princess in disbelief and shouted: "Imperial sister, you!"
The eldest princess was startled at first, and then the color on her face slowly faded. She glanced at Emperor Yong desperately, and finally collapsed to the ground.
Just now, her father asked her if this matter had anything to do with her second brother.
If she was innocent, she should have replied: "Father, this matter has nothing to do with me. This was not done by me, let alone my second brother who is still banned in the clan mansion."
And in her confusion, she only denied the second half of the sentence, which was equivalent to acknowledging that she had done this...
"Okay, okay——"
"You are all really going against the grain!"
Emperor Yong swept his right hand across the case, and all the memorials folded aside fell to the ground with a clatter.
His whole body swayed slightly. At this moment, his eyesight turned black, his chest palpitated, and his breathing became rapid.
"Father!"
Upon seeing this, the prince hurriedly ran forward and supported Emperor Yong!
"Father!"
The eldest princess was so horrified when she saw this scene that she knelt straight.
"Mr. Zou, please announce Dr. Zou quickly!"
The prince shouted quickly, looking extremely nervous.
Emperor Yong slowly regained his breath with the help of the prince, but waved his hand.
"No, there is no need to declare the imperial doctor."
He slowly sat down, feeling desolate and extremely angry at this moment!
He could never have imagined that the eldest daughter's usually well-behaved appearance was just an act, and that she would completely abandon the royal dignity and do such an unconscionable thing!
Emperor Yong took a long breath and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Now, there is only one thing I can't figure out."
He looked at the eldest princess, who was already in tears, and asked coldly: "Why did you want to harm Miss Zuo of Duke Yan's residence? What does this matter have to do with Duke Yan?"
Tan Hanchi was still kneeling on the ground, and his expression moved slightly when he heard these words.
Because of the relationship with the Qiao family, the Holy Father may not agree to his marriage to Miss Zuo. Why not take retreat as an advance and take a chance today!
Thinking of this, while the eldest princess was still afraid to confess, Tan Hanchi spoke loudly:
"Your Majesty, maybe... I have some clues about this matter."
"Because Miss Zuo is my sweetheart."
