Mother and son turned against each other because of Si Ning. Qin Yi looked at his mother with a painful expression.
"I thought you were really doing good for Si Ning. She saved my grandmother!"
The eldest princess was also angry, "So what? Isn't she a doctor? She should be happy to be able to treat your grandmother's illness. This is something that many people can only dream of. Why, she is pointing out that she did something to our eldest princess's house because of this?" Is it arrogant?"
Qin Yi looked at his mother in disbelief, as if it was the first time he saw the person in front of him.
"Why are you so heartless?"
The eldest princess was mainly offended by her stupid son's old illness, "I am ruthless, so she has feelings and righteousness. Don't you know her identity? And..."
The eldest princess held back at the last moment. It was not the time for her and Qin Yi to provoke the thin layer of paper.
Not wanting to argue with Si Ning and Qin Yi anymore, the eldest princess stood up and waved her sleeves to leave.
Qin Yi chased him forward and asked anxiously.
"Mom, Si Ning will help you handle this matter. If something goes wrong, she shouldn't be the one to bear the responsibility."
The eldest princess laughed angrily and turned to look at Qin Yi, "You mean I have to bear her fault for her. How big a crime is corruption. Don't you understand, Qin Yi? I am your mother, what is she!"
"Mother, that's not what I meant, I..."
"That's enough, I have something else to do."
The eldest princess angrily left the dormitory, leaving Qin Yi alone standing there worrying.
He ran out of the house and went to Jingzhao Mansion, but saw Lu Hanxiao outside the door.
Next to him was Ming Han, who was holding a food box in his hand, and Xue Fang personally greeted him outside the door.
Qin Yi watched this scene in the carriage, but after all, he still didn't take a step forward.
Although he didn't know what happened, his mother did let Si Ning bear all the blame.
How could he have the dignity to meet Si Ning?
Even if you say something when you meet her, will you apologize for your mother?
Qin Yi felt depressed and went to Zuixian Tower to drink until late at night.
And Lu Hanxiao also accompanied Si Ning into the night...
Si Ning urged him to leave, but Lu Hanxiao sat and drank tea without moving.
"It's late at night, why don't you leave?"
"Not leaving."
Lu Hanxiao took off his cloak and handed it to Si Ning.
Si Ning was puzzled, so Lu Hanxiao replied, "It's cold at night, so wear it."
Si Ning took over the cloak and saw Lu Hanxiao standing up. He thought he was leaving, so he stood up as well.
Who would have thought that he just turned in another direction, walked to the side of the grass bunk and sat down again.
"What are you...?"
"You sleep on the bed, and I sleep here, just like at home."
Si Ning stared, standing there for a moment at a loss, and then spoke after a while.
"You're out of character here."
"You are also against the rules here. Go to sleep and show off tonight. We will go out early tomorrow morning."
Lu Hanxiao lay down, smiled at Si Ning and closed his eyes.
Si Ning looked at him and walked to the bed hesitantly. He tried to dissuade him several times, but finally swallowed his words.
The next day, Lu Hanxiao went to court for the rare occasion.
Not wearing court clothes, but the clothes from yesterday.
Everyone knew that although Lu Hanxiao was a soldier, as long as he was always neatly dressed in court, he would not do anything like not wearing court uniforms before going to court.
He is very disciplined and everyone knows that.
But now he appears in court like this, which arouses curiosity.
Even the emperor frowned and asked him, "Han Xiao, what's wrong with you? Where did you go last night?"
Lu Hanxiao took a step forward and knelt directly in the main hall.
This made the emperor even more confused, "Why do you need to do this great gift?"
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "If you have anything to say, just get up and say it."
"Your Majesty, I am guilty, please punish me."
The emperor became more and more confused as Lu Hanxiao spoke, "What is going on?"
Seeing that it was almost done, Lu Hanxiao stopped talking and told the story about Si Ning being arrested by Jingzhao Mansion.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask my wife what's wrong with her. She worked hard but ended up like this. Is it true that in the future everyone should protect themselves wisely and be alone is the most correct choice?"
Lu Hanxiao almost asked directly if he should stay away from your royal family from now on, and hide as far away as possible from assigned matters.
First there was the turmoil when the eldest princess came to the palace to ask for an order, and now there was such a commotion. The emperor was so angry that his internal organs ached.
Shameful, really shameful!
The previous matter was finally calmed down without embarrassing the royal family.
Now, his dear sister has tricked him again, and it is revealed in public what the emperor said.
If Lu Hanxiao is not given an explanation, who else will be willing to work for their royal family in the future.
The Turks invaded many times, but the border guards were unable to do so.
He also pointed out that Lu Hanxiao was protecting him from foreign invasion and he couldn't offend anyone.
How could he have such a stupid sister!
But now is not the time to hold on to these things, the emperor tried his best to appear pleasant and said.
"There must be some misunderstanding here. Sister Huang is a person who listens to wind and rain, and I don't know what rumors she has heard. I will explain this matter to you."
"Get up first and come to my study room later."
Naturally, it is difficult to say anything about this kind of thing in public, so the emperor suppressed his anger and said patiently.
Lu Hanxiao had no intention of letting it go. Whenever matters involving Si Ning, Lu Hanxiao was extremely serious.
He knelt without moving and said in a loud voice.
"Your Majesty, this matter may not be the result of the eldest princess's whim. Please give me an explanation, Your Majesty."
This meant that the emperor would finalize the case on the spot. The emperor was so angry that he could not say anything, but Lu Hanxiao was resolute and there was nothing he could do. He winked at the internal eunuch, and the internal eunuch announced in a loud voice that he would withdraw from the court.
All the ministers wanted to leave this Shura field as soon as possible, no one wanted to be contaminated in the slightest.
Only the emperor, Lu Hanxiao and Qin Ling were left in the main hall.
As the consort, if something happened to the eldest princess, he naturally couldn't leave.
The eldest princess and Si Ning were both called to the main hall. Si Ning knelt down with a bad expression, while the eldest princess stood next to Qing Ling with a arrogant look on her face, not feeling at all that she had done anything wrong.
The clothes Si Ning was wearing were the same ones he wore when he was arrested yesterday. There were some wrinkles, but the emperor couldn't say anything.
He looked at Si Ning and asked in a deep voice.
"Mrs. Lu, tell me what's going on?"
Since you have called someone here, you should naturally ask the person involved first.
Before Si Ning could answer, the eldest princess spoke from the side.
"Your Majesty, this matter involves a corruption case. If you want to know what's going on, you should call Xue Fang for questioning. As the official presiding over this case, he should be here."
"Shut up!"
This was the first time that the emperor said such serious words to the eldest princess. The eldest princess looked at the emperor in astonishment. The emperor just stood there out of face and said coldly.
"It's a misunderstanding. Who should I call Xue Fang? Don't make it a cause for trouble. Just explain it clearly."
First she was reprimanded by the emperor, and now she heard that the emperor wanted to settle the matter hastily. How could the eldest princess be willing?
"How could it be a misunderstanding? So much money cannot be accounted for. It is the capital of the people's survival, but now it is put into someone's pocket. Your Majesty, this kind of thing must not be tolerated!"
