The emperor's expression was strange, and several adults stopped before they finished speaking.
There was silence in the palace, and the strange noise that came from nowhere became more and more obvious. Just when everyone was confused, the emperor who was sitting upright suddenly bent down and took out a white and tender little girl from under the table.
The girl had a cute face, with two little bud-like hairpins on her head. She was not timid when she saw the emperor, her eyes turned into crescent moons as she smiled, and she kissed her affectionately, rubbing her soft cheek against the emperor's face. .
Several adults widened their eyes and quickly lowered their heads, fearing that they would lose their bearings in front of the emperor.
Despite this, his ears were raised high and he quietly listened to the movement above.
Bian Chen held the little girl on his knees, his eyes touched the dirty dress of the little girl, and his eyelids twitched heavily, "Why are you here?"
Shanshan rolled around on the ground, her whole body was dirty. She grabbed the emperor's clothes and sat firmly. When she let go, she left two dirty little handprints, "I came to see you."
"Looking for me?"
Bian Chen raised his head and asked, "Li Quan?"
Eunuch Li stepped forward tremblingly, "Back to the emperor, Miss Wen said she has something to ask you. The sun is shining outside, so I decided to let Miss Wen come into the palace."
The adults below looked at each other.
Your surname is Wen?
Which temperature?
Only then did Bian Chen remember that the eunuch had mentioned this matter. It's just that he thought Shanshan couldn't wait to leave first, but he didn't expect to hide in such a corner.
"Uncle Emperor, I want to go home."
"Go home?" Bian Chen said, "Did you enjoy your stay in the palace well?"
Shanshan shook his head, "No, I miss my mother."
"..."
"I haven't seen my mother all day, and I dreamed of her during my nap today. Uncle Emperor, I'll come and play with you next time."
"..."
Mr. Zheng didn't take a good look at the little girl's appearance just now. When he heard this, he couldn't help but look up quietly. When he raised his head, he met the emperor's cold and solemn gaze and quickly bent down.
This, this, this...how should we explain this?
He hasn't finished what he just said.
Mr. Zheng handed over his hand and said, "Your Majesty..."
"Everyone, please step aside. We will discuss the rest another time." The emperor interrupted.
Several adults quickly bowed and knelt down.
Everyone left one after another. Mr. Zheng walked slower. His ears were sensitive, and he could hear the words of the powerful emperor coaxing the children from behind. When I stepped out of the imperial study room, cold sweat crawled all over my back.
After walking far away, he couldn't wait to ask his colleagues, "Which princess has married into a family named Wen?"
Everyone shook their heads.
One adult hesitated to speak, "That child looks familiar..."
If you look at them separately, one is majestic and the other is childish. There is no similarity at all for the moment. However, just now the two faces are brought together. At first glance, it seems that they have glimpsed some earth-shattering secret.
Several people looked at each other, and when they thought about the whole story of what the emperor called them into the palace to discuss today, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts, not daring to mention it again.
"You stay one more day, and tonight I will take you to the Star Reaching Platform. It is the highest place in the entire capital. Don't you want to see it?"
Of course Shanshan thought, she wring her fingers in embarrassment, "Then I won't be able to see my mother tonight?"
There were all confidants in the palace, so Bian Chen lowered his head and rubbed his chin against the furry head of the little girl in his arms, "Didn't you take the initiative to come to me yesterday?"
Shan Shanxin said how could it be the same?
The emperor's uncle is just her good friend, but she is her mother's treasure, Shanshan, and the person who loves her mother the most in the world!
But she couldn't say anything to the emperor, as if she would hurt the emperor's heart if she said it, she could only shake her head hesitantly, her round eyes were wet, like a puppy in a dilemma.
Bian Chen stroked the scabbed wound on her chin and said, "The imperial doctor said that your injury will need a few more days to heal."
"I'll be fine if I go home."
"You were injured so badly. Your mother even cried yesterday."
Shanshan opened his eyes wide and looked at him in surprise. She didn't see her mother's tears yesterday.
But the emperor never told lies. He also said, "You were injured under her nose. She is already blaming herself in her heart. If she sees it again, I don't know how many times she will cry secretly. Your injury is healed." , how about I take you back personally?"
Shanshan hesitates.
On the one hand, she wanted to see her mother, but on the other hand, she was crying. She didn't know what to do.
Bian Chen held her with one hand, took out a writing brush from the pen holder, and put it into her hand. "If you have anything to say to her, write it in a letter. I'll find someone to deliver it to you."
Only then did Shanshan bow his head.
She lay down on the imperial desk and left a dirty little fingerprint on the rice paper. Just as she was writing a word, she was suddenly suspended in the air and was picked up.
"Uncle the Emperor?" Shanshan was at a loss.
Bian Chen said to his disgraced little daughter who had a headache, "Someone, bring some water."
…
Not long after Mrs. Gao entered the palace, she suddenly fainted in the palace and was carried out of the palace. The news quickly spread to the ears of countless people.
Soon, they learned that Gao Yuan had broken a leg.
The Gao family has always been domineering and did not hide their actions. Some well-informed people quickly connected the following events: the Wen family mother and daughter were arrested, and the Gao family went to retaliate but failed. The Gao family has been running rampant in the capital for a long time, but this is the first time that they have suffered such a big setback. What's more, the person who is the stumbling block for the Gao family is not a noble family, but just an ordinary merchant.
That Gao Yuan was the heartthrob of the Gao family, suddenly his leg was broken and his official career was cut off. With the Gao family's temperament, how could he let it go?
So what if the Wen family and their daughter are supported by the Queen Mother? The Gao family is the Duke of the country, and Mrs. Gao and the Queen Mother are sisters!
Everyone had different thoughts, and for a moment, all eyes in the capital fell on the Wen family. Either sympathetic or gloating, almost everyone felt in their hearts that the Wen family was in danger.
Mrs. Gao woke up slowly at home, in a daze and not knowing where she was.
Several of her daughters-in-law were waiting beside the bed, and when they saw any movement, they immediately gathered around her.
"Doctor, doctor, the old lady is awake!"
"Mom, how do you feel? Is there anything else that makes you uncomfortable?"
As soon as Mrs. Gao raised her hand, her nearest daughter-in-law immediately came forward to help her. The doctor from the mansion also arrived quickly and was about to check her pulse when he was brushed away.
"Where is Gao Yuan?" Mrs. Gao clutched the quilt tightly and looked at everyone with cloudy eyes, "Where is he?!"
"Yuan'er woke up from pain several times today. The doctor went to see him and took medicine. He has rested." It was the eldest lady who spoke. Gao Yuan was her son. At this time, her eyes were red and she was gritting her teeth. He said angrily, "Yuan'er has never suffered so much, but the perpetrator is still enjoying himself. The old woman went to the palace today to find the Queen Mother. Did the Queen Mother say anything? Did she want to stand up for Yuan'er... …”
In the middle of the eldest lady's words, Mrs. Gao suddenly struggled to get up from the bed, as if she had seen something terrible, and several people nearby hurriedly helped her.
Mrs. Gao squeezed the second lady's hand tightly and used 120% of her strength to hold the second lady's face pale.
She shouted almost with all her strength, "Send Gao Yuan away!"
"What?" Everyone was stunned
"Send him away, send him out of the capital, send him far away, and leave immediately, the sooner the better!" Mrs. Gao said, "You are not allowed to return to the capital again in this life!"
"Old Madam?!" The eldest lady's tears were still wet. She was shocked and couldn't accept it. "Old Madam, what does this mean? Even if Yuan'er has a broken leg, he is still a descendant of the Gao family, so he can't... …”
"Stupid woman, what do you know!" Mrs. Gao said bitterly, "Do you know who he offended?"
"Isn't she just a merchant? No matter how powerful she is, will the Gao family still be afraid of her?"
Is that a small business?
That little girl from a merchant background is the only descendant of the current Holy Emperor!
Gao Yuan's manipulation of other people's horses was an attempt to assassinate the crown prince, not to mention breaking a leg. If the emperor wanted to pursue the case, the entire Gao family would be in catastrophe!
Not to mention that she saw the Queen Mother today at the Queen Mother's place. How could the Emperor not pursue the matter just because of the Queen Mother's love and affection for the child?
Mrs. Gao sternly issued a strict order, and everyone present was silent. For a moment, no one dared to intercede for Gao Yuan. The old lady is the wife of the Duke of the country. Although she usually indulges her children and grandchildren, she has been in the capital for so long and knows the choice at critical moments.
She didn't care how the eldest lady cried and begged. Even if Gao Yuan had just been seriously injured and leaving the city at this time would only make his injuries worse, she still had someone send him out of the capital immediately.
Then he hurriedly asked someone to prepare a gift, dragged his sick body, and under the eyes of the whole capital, he lowered his posture and went to the Wen family in person to apologize. :,,
