The emperor's expression tightened, his eyebrows knitted together, and he said again:
"Anyway, she made me understand something. Logically speaking, I should thank her. Do you think I should let her leave?"
After saying this, he waved his hand to Concubine Chang Guifei and said, "Step back! You've been taking too much care of the harem lately, so go back and reflect!"
Concubine Chang opened her mouth and wanted to say something else. Seeing the emperor's cold face and slight anger, with displeasure in his tone, she could only salute and leave angrily.
When Liu Xi came back, the emperor had already put on the dragon robe. When the little father-in-law beside him tied the last button for him, he waved to Liu Xi and said:
"Publish the imperial notice and inform the world that Prince Yu's patricide three years ago has been found to be caused by someone drugging him, which caused Prince Yu's confusion. I specially decree that Prince Yu's murder will be restored immediately. identity."
Liu Xi hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Old slave understands that I will order someone to post the imperial notice and send the imperial edict of pardon to Prince Yu's palace."
The emperor waved his hands solemnly and said with a serious face:
"No, I will go in person and bring my imperial edict to Prince Yu's Mansion."
Liu Xi looked at him with puzzled eyes: "The emperor wants to go in person?"
"right."
The emperor looked cold and nodded apologetically, "Yu'er has been unjustly accused for three years. I should go and see him."
After saying this, with a majestic look on his face, he slowly walked out of the imperial study room. Liu Xi respectfully held the imperial edict and followed closely with a group of people.
The emperor led a group of ministers and went to Prince Yu's Mansion in person. This was the first time that the Emperor came to Prince Yu's Mansion in three years. The scale of the battle made the people speechless. Therefore, from the moment they left the palace, people gathered around them, and everyone gathered around. Everyone who followed the emperor's dragon chariot wanted to follow him to see the excitement.
The emperor's dragon chariot stopped at the door of Prince Yu's Mansion. The two servants guarding the door were stunned. They had no idea what was going on, and they had no idea why the emperor came suddenly.
After hearing the news, A Gang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. If the emperor comes in person, he will definitely ask to see Prince Yu. If the princess is here, he can resist for a while, but before the princess comes back, the emperor arrives first. But what to do?
He was running around in a hurry in the yard. Liu Mei hurriedly came over and pulled him, "Hurry up and greet the Holy Master. Don't be rude."
"But...but the prince is not here, and the princess has not come back. What should we do? What should we do? The emperor knows that the prince has left secretly, will he punish him? Will he blame the princess for not reporting the knowledge? We will Won’t you be charged for this?”
Liu Mei tugged on his sleeve angrily, "Don't think about it anymore. It's too late to say anything now. The emperor has already come in. No matter what, you have to face it."
After saying that, she walked quickly to the main courtyard. A Gang did not dare to neglect and followed quickly.
The emperor came, and everyone in Prince Yu's palace came out to pick him up, including Dazhi and Xiaozhi. The emperor looked at these people with dignity and said seriously:
"Where does Prince Yu live?"
Although his voice was very soft, it was so majestic that no one dared to refute it. Coupled with the Ouchi guards and officials following him, it really made Prince Yu's Mansion know that Leng Yu's departure was in disarray.
Seeing that these people had their heads lowered and did not speak, Liu Xi shouted sharply at the drake's throat:
"Can't you hear the emperor? Is he mute? Who is the steward?"
At this time, A Gang hesitated and said:
"I...I am the steward of Prince Yu's Mansion."
The emperor looked at him with lowered eyebrows and asked word by word:
"Take me to where Prince Yu lives."
"Prince Yu...Prince Yu, he..."
A Gang didn't know how to answer. At this moment, Xiao Zhi blinked his eyes slyly and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, I know where Prince Yu lives. I will take you there."
Liu Mei hurriedly tugged at the corner of Xiaozhi's clothes, but the emperor had already turned his gaze to him, frowning and asked:
"Who are you?"
"My name is Xiaozhi, and I am Prince Yu's disciple."
Hearing this, the emperor's eyes were filled with confusion, and his expression was as indifferent as a clear water.
He didn't understand why Yu'er suddenly accepted a disciple as she collapsed on the bed. Moreover, the people in Prince Yu's Mansion all looked unfamiliar. What did Shui Luolan do during his time in Prince Yu's Mansion?
But he didn't want to worry about this now. He just wanted to see Yu'er, whom he hadn't seen for three years, as soon as possible. He heard that he was paralyzed and wanted to see how he was doing.
Therefore, he nodded to Xiaozhi and said:
"Okay, you lead the way."
Xiaozhi nodded heavily, stood up, and led the way. The emperor followed closely with a group of officials. A Gang wiped the sweat from his forehead worriedly, and Liu Meier's eyes were also full of worry.
The group of people came to the backyard and the yard where Leng Yu lived. Xiaozhi pointed to the room and said:
"Your Majesty, this is the residence of Prince Yu."
The emperor frowned slightly and said to Liu Xi behind him:
"Go to the door and read the edict."
He knew that if the matter was not clarified in time, Yu'er would not pay attention to him when he saw him, and he would not have the courage to see him, so before seeing him, it was more appropriate to read out the imperial edict to let him know the purpose of his visit.
Carrying the imperial edict, Liu Xi quickly came to the door of Leng Yu's room, stood on the steps, and shouted to everyone:
"Everyone in Prince Yu's Mansion accepts the order."
Ah Gang and the others hurriedly knelt down and waited quietly to receive the order.
Eunuch Liu cleared his throat and shouted to everyone:
"I have received the decree from heaven. The emperor issued an edict. Three years ago, I ignored the slander and misunderstood and misjudged. As a result, Leng Yu was banned for three years. Now, I have found out that this matter was all the work of a traitor. I hereby give you the following: The purpose is to restore Leng Yu's innocence, restore his status as a prince, restore his treatment as a prince, and reward him with ten thousand taels of silver, several pieces of jade, several pieces of cloth and other items, I appreciate this!"
This imperial edict made everyone stunned, and all the servants in Prince Yu's Mansion booed...
The emperor looked at the door and couldn't bear it, and said in a trembling voice:
"Open the door, I'll go in and see Yu'er."
Hearing this, A Gang looked around nervously, while Xiao Zhi took two steps forward, stood in front of the emperor and replied:
"Go back to the emperor, Prince Yu is not here."
"What did you say?"
The emperor's brows furrowed, he looked at Xiaozhi and shouted sternly:
"Yu'er isn't here? Where is he? You just..."
Xiaozhi hurriedly replied:
"The emperor just said that he wanted to see where Prince Yu lives, but he did not say that he wanted to see Prince Yu. Xiaozhi misheard, and he still hopes that the emperor will atone for his sins."
Originally, Xiaozhi planned to take the emperor to the backyard as expected, and he would take the emperor to the backyard first, and then wait for the princess to come back and make his own decision.
But when he heard the imperial edict of pardon, he knew that he was fine. No matter whether Prince Yu was there or not, he would be fine. The emperor would not embarrass the people in Prince Yu's palace, so he chose to tell the truth.
But after hearing Xiaozhi's words, the emperor suddenly had a bad feeling. He frowned suddenly and asked angrily,
"Where did Yu'er go? Did something happen? You bunch of dog slaves, tell me... tell me..."
