Apei had already asked people to stay at the Yamen. After retreating, someone immediately came back to report.
Therefore, before Nangong Yitian returned, Leng Xiao already knew everything in the hall from A Pei's mouth.
She didn't care much about other things, but she was just curious, "Did Ayi really not come out to meet Princess Qing?"
"No, Master Wei is in charge of everything. His Highness is sitting in the back hall."
Leng Xiao nodded slightly. Princess Qing wanted to see him so much. She saw it with her own eyes that day.
Today she dressed up and came to the court, but she didn't see him. This disappointment must be much heavier than the accusation.
Nangong Yitian obviously hated her very much. He said nothing, didn't give her any chance, and didn't even want to say a word to her.
After Nangong Yitian left the Yamen, he did not return to the East Palace immediately, but went to see the emperor.
The emperor didn't know that the trial had already started, so he wanted to call him over and let him calm down the matter. The royal affairs were taboo. It was impossible to open the trial like this and reveal all the royal family's secrets to the people.
"Ayi, you have to be merciful and merciful. She is always your sister. Let's forget about it. Stop messing around. You are the prince of the dynasty. How can you report your sister to the Yamen? What is the tradition? If you go out, everyone in the world will laugh at you."
Nangong Yitian said truthfully: "Father, the case has been heard today. I sent Wei Lin and submitted witness statements to prove that Princess Qing maliciously spread rumors to slander Leng Xiao. As for how the government office will deal with it, I have not No intervention.”
Emperor Long Yan was displeased, "You are really being ridiculous. Do you know how much damage it will do to your reputation and how much damage it will do to your sister's reputation if the royal private affairs are brought to the Yamen?"
Nangong Yitian asked, "If we don't clarify, how much damage will be done to Leng Xiao's reputation? Have you ever thought about it?"
The emperor said: "I will naturally compensate her."
Nangong Yitian felt particularly uncomfortable after hearing this, "I believe she only needs innocence, not compensation."
"You are not her, how do you know she doesn't want compensation? Didn't you ask me for Si Nian's death-free gold medal before? Do you know what she is thinking about?"
"Father, what do you think she cares about?" Nangong Yitian looked at the emperor and slowly frowned.
Before Leng Xiao came back, his father always spoke highly of Leng Xiao. When he met Leng Xiao before, he was still full of admiration. It had only been a few days, so why did he feel different?
The emperor also looked at him, "Let me ask you, do you think she has no intentions towards you or Si Nian?"
"What do you want to say, father?" Nangong Yitian's tone gradually became colder.
"Father reminds you, be cautious in everything." The emperor stood up and walked in front of him, with his hands behind his back. "You are the prince. You cannot trust anyone absolutely, even your princess. You must always be vigilant. , otherwise if you make any mistake, it will be my country, Wei Dynasty, that will be affected."
Nangong Yitian looked at him for a while and asked, "Father, has anyone ever said anything bad about Leng Xiao to you?"
The emperor's eyes drifted over and his face darkened, "Don't make random guesses. I still appreciate Leng Xiao, but I must be wary of others, especially..."
He hesitated for a moment, but didn't say it.
"Especially because she is Leng Zhenhuan's daughter." Nangong Yitian said the last unsaid words for him, his anger gradually rising, "This is Leng Xiao's original sin, no matter what she did for the court, no matter what she paid Nothing can get rid of this original sin, right?"
Nangong Yitian felt hurt and angry. She had done so much, but it turned out that no one had forgotten that she was Leng Zhenhuan's daughter.
