Chapter 464 Even dogs don’t get up so early!
The little girl raised her lips. Why did she make it up?
Although the situation today has been resolved, who knows how lively the court will be tomorrow.
The Xie family and Empress Dowager Xie are not so easy to deal with.
Although she had never met this family, she had seen her father fight with them in the north...
If that's the case, why would she go to such lengths to lie...
His Majesty will know it eventually anyway, so why not she tell it now and gain a good reputation of trusting His Majesty.
"It was only after I came to Beijing that I had the honor of meeting the wife of Marquis Dingyuan..."
"Speaking of which, it can be said that there is no acquaintance without fighting."
The girl told the whole story about how the girls from the Qi and Bai families fell in love with Qi Shanyuan in the street, and how he was later assassinated and went to Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion.
Of course, this does not include the fact that she sent people to the two houses to break their right hands~
Anyway, in this incident...Jiang An and the wife of Marquis Dingyuan were so wronged that it couldn't be any more wronged!
“…That’s how it is.”
The little girl held the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. "If it weren't for this matter, An An would have come to the palace to see His Majesty long ago!"
Your Majesty can tell with just a guessing finger that the person behind the group of guards mentioned by Jiang An was the work of the Queen Mother.
At this moment, the girls from the Qi and Bai families had already been betrothed, and the Queen Mother's plan failed...
His Majesty felt relieved and he liked the little girl more and more.
This little girl actually did a huge good thing for him without realizing it!
"This is really unreasonable!"
The emperor was furious, and all the palace servants in the palace knelt on the ground. Even Wu Heting did not dare to sit down anymore, and kept saying: "Your Majesty, calm down..."
On the contrary, the little girl, holding half a piece of plum cake in her mouth, blinked her confused round eyes, and seemed a little confused about the situation.
"Lord Wu, I'll leave this matter to you to investigate. You must find out who is behind the assassin!"
"In broad daylight, at the foot of the Imperial City, she dared to assassinate me in the street. Does she take me seriously?"
The little girl chirped in her heart: You sound as if someone takes you seriously.
"Yes, I accept the order."
Wu Heting agreed at first, but then said in embarrassment, "But I haven't investigated the incident in Qi and Bai's mansions that was robbed in the middle of the night, and you two adults have joined forces with many officials to accuse me of dereliction of duty. This..."
"Don't worry about them!"
The emperor waved his hand and said, "As a court official, you allowed your daughter to choose a husband on the street, disregarding etiquette and patriarchal law. You deserve it!"
Wu Heting agreed, "Then I will take my leave and return to the Dali Temple to deal with this matter."
Seeing that he was leaving, the girl got off the chair, looking for an opportunity and an excuse to slip away.
"Go, go!"
The emperor seemed to have just remembered Jiang Anlai, and asked kindly, "Does An An want to stay in the palace for one night?"
"My imperial garden is so beautiful!"
Yoho~
The little girl smiled falsely, fulfilled His Majesty's wish and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but An An has close friends at home. She didn't leave any message before she left, and she didn't come back at night... I'm afraid they will be worried."
"Then... I won't stay any longer!"
You don't want to stay either.
It's just a matter of the king's words, why bother asking the ministers for their opinions...
Since he asked, there is only one possibility, that he is just being polite to you.
If Jiang An stayed, she would have to live in the harem.
Your Majesty was in the previous dynasty and was out of reach. He was afraid that the Empress Dowager and the Queen would cause trouble, so he naturally did not dare to let Jiang An stay overnight.
"It's just right, Lord Wu, please take my precious niece out of the palace!"
Look, he has to find a bodyguard before leaving the palace. How worried is he that Queen Mother Xie and others will come to kidnap him!
Wu Heting understood the little girl's teasing look and quickly signaled for people to leave the hall.
It's just that our emperor is not a cunning person, otherwise Jiang An would have received so much punishment for all the lies he told today!
How dare she do that in front of the emperor!
All the way from Chenglong Hall to the palace road, Wu Heting and Jiang An didn't say a word, and they didn't even make eye contact.
"I really kept you guessing..."
Looking at the familiar old eunuch not far away, Lord Wu whispered something to the little girl.
"what?"
Jiang An was distracted and looked up in confusion.
"This servant greets the county lady, Lord Wu."
"Father-in-law..."
Lord Wu nodded, "Why are you here? What does the Queen Mother have to say?"
The little girl's round eyes flashed with a tiny light. Are they Empress Dowager Xie's men? Are they here to rob?
The eunuch looked at Jiang An and said, "The Queen said it's not easy for the county lady to come to Kyoto, and it's a good opportunity for the grandparents to meet..."
"Please come in, County Lady." After saying this, he turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.
But neither the words nor the facial expression seem to indicate a request...
The old eunuch's gloomy eyes seemed to be telling Jiang An: You have to go today whether you want to or not!
Wu Heting stood in front of the little girl, looking uneasy, "Please tell the Queen Mother that His Majesty has ordered me to escort the Princess out of the palace."
"I dare not disobey your majesty's order, but it is getting late, and it is not appropriate for an outsider like me to follow the county lady into the harem."
"Your Majesty, why don't you see me another day, or should you ask for your Majesty's permission first?"
The old eunuch said, "The queen misses her granddaughter, but she just wants to see her once. Why is Lord Wu so unkind?"
At this moment, the little girl poked her head out from behind Wu Heting.
She smiled, as if she had just remembered something, and said suddenly: "My father-in-law did remind me..."
"It has been a few years since I last visited the Imperial Concubine at the Huguo Temple. I wonder if she is doing well lately?"
If we talk about kinship, then she, Jiang An, should call the Concubine Grandma, and has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager Xie!
Since there is no relationship, why do you miss me? It's just wishful thinking!
The old eunuch was so angry at Jiang An's words that he could only watch the two men leave.
He waved his whisk, turned around, and went back to the palace to file a complaint.
"Master Wu~"
The little girl came over stealthily and asked, "What time is your morning court?"
Wu Heting frowned, "Why are you asking this?"
"Do you think they will cause trouble during the morning court session?!"
Jiang An said as a matter of course: "The Xie family used the Qi and Bai families to drag you down. They lost their wife and their troops, so of course they will not give up."
"Besides, they have exposed a big fish like me in the palace today. According to Prime Minister Xie and the Queen Mother, they will definitely not let me go."
There are many of their followers in the court. Tomorrow morning court will be the best opportunity. Let’s attack them together!
"At yin hour, go to court."
Jiang An glared, "Why are you going so early? Let's count the stars together?"
Even dogs don’t get up so early!
The corners of Wu Heting's mouth twitched. You cursed so dirty.
The little girl asked again, "What about His Majesty?"
Wu Heting: "Mao hour."
Jiang An: ...
She walked quickly towards her carriage, muttering as she walked: Being an emperor is so miserable.
The little girl got on the carriage and urged Zhengyan to drive away quickly.
She also made an appointment with the wife of Dingyuan Hou for a boat ride~
Wu Heting was the only one standing in front of the empty palace gate.
When the wind blew, the confidant who came to pick him up rubbed his eyes and almost thought that the person standing there was some lonely old man~
