Tang Ning knelt on the ground with red eyes. Although she was still stubborn, there was more hesitation on her face.
An Di looked at her with tears in her eyes, biting her lips and refusing to say a word even though she had some regrets. He inexplicably thought of Xiao Yan's bad temper.
"You are just like your brother, you are so brave. Just what you said just now, no one can say anything even if I take your head!"
Seeing that the little girl's face turned pale, she subconsciously grabbed the hem of her clothes in her hands and tensed her jaw with fear.
An Di looked at her tearful look and suddenly lost all care.
He was at fault for the Lu family's affairs.
Today, these matters are indeed not suitable for Xiao Yan to investigate. He and the Lu family have always been at odds with each other, and he must have a grudge against him after being tricked by the Lu family several times.
If he really found something that he shouldn't have found, there was no guarantee that he would be able to suppress Xiao Yan and let go again.
Emperor An's face was slightly relaxed, and he glanced at Tang Ning angrily: "Okay, hurry up and get out, I'm annoyed just by looking at you."
"Then my brother..."
"Didn't you say that your brother was seriously injured and let him continue to be cared for!"
Tang Ning hesitated for a moment but did not get up.
Emperor An was not angry: "I have spared you brothers and sisters for being disrespectful. Why are you still not satisfied?"
Tang Ning said in a low voice: "Tang Ning doesn't dare, it's just that you always treat people softly, and you asked Lu Chongyuan to come into the palace. Will he say a few words to you later? You have annoyed my brother again. "
"Otherwise, I'll kneel for a little longer to prevent you from summoning me back and forth..."
"..."
An Di's face turned dark and he cursed angrily.
"Get out!"
These brothers and sisters, each one is more irritating than the other!
Tang Ning saw Emperor An's face turned dark and he rolled away.
After the others left, Emperor An couldn't help but curse: "This Song Tangning was such a well-behaved little girl with a submissive temper. How could she be brought up to be like this?"
"Then Xiao Yan himself has a bad temper, and now he has raised a son of a bitch who is bolder than him. If Rong Qian'an knew about it, I don't think his coffin board would be able to hold it down!"
Feng's wife heard this and said, "How can that aunt be obedient and docile? She is just a piranha that eats people without spitting out their bones."
"That's not because His Majesty is tolerant." He flattered.
Emperor An was angry: "I just indulge them too much."
After all, anger has returned, but Emperor An didn't want to do anything to Song Tangning.
He drank some tea brought by outsiders, and after feeling a little calmer, he asked Feng Neishi, "You are going today, are Xiao Yan seriously injured?"
Feng's heart tightened: "Chief Doctor Jiang said that Governor Xiao's injury is indeed quite serious, but the servant does not seem to be as lingering on the bed as the rumors say, and it is difficult to get up from the bed. Governor Xiao has not cared about the affairs of the Privy Council during this period, so I am afraid that he is. Somewhat intentional.”
He had served Emperor An for many years, so he naturally knew how suspicious Emperor An was.
As a person who serves closely before the Holy Emperor, he must not be biased towards Xiao Yan, not even in the slightest.
Chamberlain Feng carefully considered his words: "Your Majesty also knows the methods of those in the Privy Council. Even if Governor Xiao can't get up, it is not difficult to investigate the Lingyun Temple matter with just a few instructions, but he just ignores it." Regardless, it is clear that he deliberately allowed the matter to escalate."
"Although I don't know who was responsible for the death of the fourth princess, it wouldn't have happened if it hadn't been delayed. When I led someone there today, Governor Xiao seemed to be angry with His Majesty when he said those words."
Emperor An snorted when he heard this: "He is just petty, and he will retaliate and protect his shortcomings."
"I suppressed the Lu family before and it resulted in him being injured. Then Song Tangning got into trouble one after another. The fourth child and the others were messy. I think he just wanted to vent his anger on Song Tangning."
He didn't care about the death of the fourth prince. A notorious prince would die when he died. What's more, he already hated the fourth prince, so he naturally hated the whole family.
Waiter Feng asked cautiously: "Then do we still need to summon Governor Xiao..."
Emperor An looked coldly: "What's the summoning for? Let him point at my nose and make trouble again?"
Feng's inner servant said: "Those people from the Imperial Army in Jiuyun Lane..."
"Withdraw."
Emperor An rubbed his brows in boredom, and when his heart became restless, he said impatiently: "Since Xiao Yan needs to recuperate, let him have a good life, and ask Cao Dejiang to keep an eye on the Zhao family's affairs. This matter is not allowed. People from the aristocratic family intervened.”
"Then the Lu family..."
"Let Wu Huai go investigate and see what the Lu family is hiding."
Feng's servant quickly received the order.
Emperor An was being teased all morning and felt a headache. He took two pills from the brocade box containing the golden elixir from his sleeve, stood up and said, "I'm going to rest for a while. I have a headache because of the noise."
"But Your Majesty, you summoned Lu Langling to the palace. He should be arriving soon..."
"He'll be there when he gets there, let him wait outside!"
Emperor An became annoyed when he heard about Lu Chongyuan. He said something coldly and turned around to leave.
Waiter Feng felt relieved and trotted after him quickly: "I will support you."
…
Tang Ning waited for a while on the corridor out of the palace before seeing Cang Lang being released.
Seeing that he looked wrong, Tang Ning asked, "Has your Majesty tortured you?"
Cang Lang shook his head: "No, I just got a few hits."
The matter in the Privy Council was too big and the governor was not in the capital, so he, the "chief officer", bore the brunt of the punishment.
When he was taken down, he heard Emperor An telling Yu Yanfeng and the others to go to Jiuyun Lane to let the governor enter the palace. He panicked at that time, but he had no way to escape from being locked up in the palace.
"Girl, over there with the Governor..."
"It's okay for now."
Tang Ning comforted him. Seeing that Cang Lang wanted to ask something else, he whispered to him, "We'll talk about it after we get back."
The two left the palace gate in a carriage. Canglang thought they were going back to Jiuyun Lane, but who knew that the carriage was going in another direction. When the carriage stopped outside Rongsheng Academy, Canglang looked puzzled.
Tangning didn't say anything, she just got out of the car and entered the academy, heading towards the back hill of the academy.
When they were approaching Sheng Ning Residence, they saw Yue Jian standing in front of the courtyard.
"Girl, Mr. Cao is here."
Tangning nodded and walked inside.
Sheng Ning Juli has already made tea. The fire is bright in the small stove, and the aroma is fragrant when the tea is boiling. Mr. Tong is talking to Cao Dejiang.
Seeing Tang Ning come in, Mr. Tong stood up and said with a smile: "I also said that the princess will not be here for a while. Since he is here, you can chat first. I will go and mark today's papers with the people in the courtyard. Three In the future, we will put up small lists to divide students into different classes."
Tang Ning said warmly: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr."
After Mr. Tong left, Tang Ning walked to his previous place and sat down on the ground.
Yue Jian neatly put away the used tea cup on the table. Tang Ning took a new tea cup from the stove and filled it with tea. She also filled the cup in front of Cao Dejiang before respectfully paying respect to Cao Dejiang. road:
"Today in the palace, I would like to thank Mr. Cao for rescuing me from the siege."
However, Cao Dejiang did not smile: "Do you think I am willing? You and Xiao Yan are simply audacious!"
After Tang Ning met Cao Dejiang in the palace, she knew that some things could not be hidden from him. Cao Dejiang knew more about her and her brother's affairs than others, so her tricks could be hidden from others but not from him. .
Seeing that his expression was not good at this time, Tang Ning said, "Brother and I have no choice."
When Cao Dejiang saw her like this, he just felt angry. It would be fine if she could just say a few words of defense, but did she feel like she was broken after being exposed by him?
He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Where did Xiao Yan go?"
Seeing that Tang Ning seemed to want to speak, his eyes were sharp:
"Don't tell me that he is in Jiuyun Alley. Xiao Yan has always been a shrewd person. He will never take risks to anger His Majesty unless absolutely necessary. He also asked you to enter the palace to deal with him."
"He hasn't shown up since Lingyun Temple. The water in the capital is getting more and more muddy. I felt something was wrong before. Is Xiao Yan not in the capital?!"
