Zhao Yue'er cried for a while and then stopped. She held Zhao Shan's neck with both hands and muttered: "Father, some bad people called me a bastard and even called my mother."
Zhao Shan's eyes were as cold as knives, and he gave him a cold look.
Zhang Xu felt even more depressed.
He arched his back slightly and raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat from his forehead. As Zhao Shan's personal eunuch, he knew Zhao Shan's care for Xu Yu'er, and also knew Zhao Shan's doting on his daughter.
It was held in the mouth for fear of melting and held in the hand for fear of falling. Even the prince was not so favored in front of Zhao Shan.
This is the eldest daughter of the emperor!
She is the eldest princess of Daqian!
Zhang Xu also arranged for people to keep an eye on Huangzhuang, and Xu Yuer could call people at any time. As long as Xu Yuer says hello, people from Dongchang will arrive immediately. Unexpectedly, despite all calculations, something went wrong, and Zhang Xu had the intention to kill people.
Zhao Shan glanced at Zhang Xu, asked someone to prepare the carriage, and took Zhao Yuer's carriage straight to the Imperial Manor.
Zhang Xu and the accompanying imperial troops followed on horseback.
Zhao Shan held Zhao Yue'er in his arms and kept asking. After all, he was a child. His logic was not clear enough and he didn't know much information. After some questioning, Zhao Shan roughly understood that someone was quarreling with Xu Yuer in the room and asking Xu Yuer to give money.
Then, Xu Yuer cried.
When Zhao Yue'er met someone, she was called a bastard. According to Zhao Yue'er, she was even slapped in the face.
Zhao Shan was even more murderous.
But the other party dared to threaten Xu Yu'er and asked for money, so I'm afraid there might be something wrong. Xu Yu'er became gentle after giving birth to a child, but she was not a weak person to be bullied. How could she cry?
Zhao Shan had doubts in his heart and comforted Zhao Yuer. When Zhao Shan entered Huangzhuang, he happened to meet Xu Yu'er in the room.
Xu Yu'er asked in surprise: "Why is Your Majesty here?"
Zhao Shandao: "My daughter went to the imperial city."
Xu Yuer was surprised and her face was full of astonishment. She didn't expect her daughter to run away to the imperial city. At this time every day, her daughter goes out to play and rarely stays in the yard, so Xu Yuer doesn't know.
Xu Yu'er glanced at the maid, knowing that the maid had brought her, and asked: "Your Majesty, what are you doing in the imperial city?"
Zhao Shan replied: "She said there were bad people bullying you, calling her a bastard, and slapping her in the face. Tell me, can I not come? Who asked you to give money, and who could do it quietly?" Bypass Dongchang's spy and threaten you openly."
Xu Yu'er's expression changed drastically, thinking about her daughter being scolded, she said angrily: "This damn woman."
Zhao Shan asked Zhao Yue'er to play, and then asked him to retreat, leaving only the two of them in the room. After the door closed, Zhao Shan asked: "What happened? Why were you being coerced?"
Xu Yuer sighed: "It was a woman named Wang Lan who said she knew about my concubine and your majesty, and even more about Yue'er's life experience. She said she wanted the information not to be leaked, so she would give her one hundred thousand taels of silver. Otherwise, she would They will spread the news that Your Majesty even slept with the late emperor’s women and gave birth to children, so they will criticize Your Majesty.”
Zhao Shan understood instantly.
It turns out that someone took advantage of Xu Yuer's weakness.
Xu Yuer has always been taboo about her identity, otherwise, she would not move to Huangzhuang.
Zhao Shan took Xu Yu'er's hand and said comfortingly: "Silly woman, did you give in because you were afraid because of a few words?"
"me……"
With tears in her eyes, Xu Yu'er choked up and said, "If the news gets out, it won't matter if I lose my reputation. But it concerns your majesty's reputation, especially if your majesty is to be the leader of ZTE, how can you bear the stigma?"
"I'm not afraid!"
Zhao Shan flicked his sleeves and said forcefully: "What kind of emperor is he if he can't protect his own woman and daughter? Not to mention that all the important ministers know about you and me."
Xu Yu'er said: "It was tacitly understood, at least it didn't spread to a lot of people. Once the news spreads all over the world, it will be troublesome."
Zhao Shan comforted him: "You're worrying too much. It's really not a big deal."
Xu Yuer fell silent.
This was a knot in her heart that she could never resolve.
Zhao Shan continued: "The ministers support me, not because of my impeccable moral character, but because I can win battles and sweep away thieves. The people support me, not because of my private life, but because I can make them live a stable life." day."
"Even if the news gets out, there's nothing to worry about."
"Leave this matter to me. After it's over, you take Yue'er and follow me back to the palace to live."
Zhao Shan mentioned to Xu Yuer before that he should return to the palace.
It's just that she didn't want to, and Zhao Shan didn't force her. Now that something happened, it was an opportunity to return to the palace.
Xu Yuer smiled sweetly and replied: "I listen to your majesty."
"This is right!"
Zhao Shan nodded with a smile and asked: "Wang Lan, the man who threatened you, has said when he will come again? Where does he live? What is his background? Do you know this?"
"No, I didn't say anything!"
Xu Yu'er shook her head and said: "Wang Lan showed up suddenly and said that he would come again tonight and asked me to give him money."
Zhao Shan looked calm and said: "No matter what conspiracy she has, take down the person first and then think about it. Leave everything to me."
Xu Yu'er said: "I listen to your majesty."
Zhao Shan raised his voice and ordered: "Zhang Xu, get in!"
Zhang Xu quickly opened the door and entered, bowed respectfully to Zhao Shan and said: "Your Majesty!"
Zhao Shan briefly explained Wang Lan's situation and said in a deep voice: "Arrange people from Dongchang to ambush nearby, and hide all the people accompanying him. When Wang Lan comes, capture him directly, and I will interrogate him personally."
"As you command!"
Zhang Xu said quickly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely handle it."
After saying that, Zhang Xu went to arrange it.
Zhao Shan was temporarily waiting at Huangzhuang, accompanying Xu Yuer and Zhao Yuer's mother and daughter. Fortunately, the child is young and forgetful. Zhao Yue'er quickly forgot about being scolded and played happily with Zhao Shan and Xu Yu'er.
In the evening, night falls.
Not long after Zhao Shan, Xu Yuer, and Zhao Yuer had dinner, Zhang Xu hurried in and reported: "Your Majesty, Wang Lan has been captured."
Zhao Shan ordered: "Take him to a separate courtyard and I will interrogate him personally."
Zhang Xu said: "I have already brought him over."
Zhao Shan nodded towards Xu Yu'er and motioned Xu Yu'er to take Zhao Yuer and go to the room in the separate courtyard with Zhang Xu. Entering the room, Zhao Shan saw Wang Lan, who was nearly forty years old, with a fleshy face, triangular eyes, high cheekbones and thin lips.
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "You are Wang Lan who threatened Yu'er and beat my daughter."
"I am!"
Wang Lan opened her eyes wide and looked tough, without any fear, and said loudly: "Zhao Shan, what do you dare to do to me? The news that you slept with Queen Xu and gave birth to a daughter will spread throughout Luoyang immediately. "
Zhao Shan's eyes were cold and he was not threatened at all. He ordered: "Break the left leg first and have a refreshing appetizer."
