Chapter 289 Fu Lang is a complainant (75)

   "It just so happens that the Empress Dowager is also here, so let's go to your father's empress for lunch together!"

   "Yes, Queen Mother."

  Seeing that the emperor and his sister looked normal, Su Shaolan finally let go of what he had been worrying about.

  If Su Qi didn't say it, Ling Yuheng never asked, what kind of mistake she made before she was driven to Yucheng.

  But judging from the emperor's tone just now, it is clear that he is no longer annoyed.

   That's enough.

  Ling Yuheng received a lot of rewards when he came out of the palace, the young man followed Su Qiruo with a smile, in a very good mood.

   "Are you in a good mood?"

  Su Qiruo raised her hand to grab the boy's wrist, and the two got closer.

   "With so many rewards, I'm naturally in a good mood."

  Ling Yuheng proudly raised his chin, making Su Qiruo chuckle.

   "I don't know, Heng'er is still a little money fan."

   "How valuable something is no longer depends on who gave it to you."

  The emperor and queen of the Hua Kingdom rewarded it, which meant that they were very satisfied with him, so he was naturally happy.

   "After walking for more than a month, I have lost weight. During this time, I need to make up for it."

  Su Qiruo lightly pinched the flesh on Ling Yuheng's face, the flesh that had been raised with great difficulty before was gone, and it looked thinner and thinner.

   "Then my sister has to get someone to cook more delicious food for Heng'er."

"it is good."

  …

  The laughter of the two continued to the gate of the palace. When the servant who sent them out of the palace came back and talked to the emperor about His Highness Fifth and Prince Xia, his face was full of disbelief.

   "It's rare for someone to fall into that child's heart, and it's also the fate between them."

  Thinking of Su Qiruo's stubborn temper before, the emperor smiled helplessly.

  Among the daughters, the fifth child is the most intelligent, but his temper is really weird.

  Going out for a trip and coming back seems to be a different person, a lot more sensible.

   "The Fifth Highness is the most similar to the emperor when you were young."

  The old aunt who waited on the emperor was a person close to the former emperor. She was always with her when the emperor was still a princess, so the relationship between the two was very good, and only she dared to joke a few words with the emperor.

  The emperor calls her "Aunt Qing" on weekdays.

   "I'm not as bold as her, to dare to enclose land under my nose, it's simply lawless."

  Although His Majesty said so, there was no trace of disgust on his face.

   "His Highness the Fifth Highness has a pure and kind heart, so maybe he was taken advantage of by others."

  The actions of the emperor's subordinates suddenly paused, and he looked at Aunt Qing and asked, "What happened to the Lord of Yucheng that the Crown Lady investigated before?"

   "The Third Highness has been following this case, and Liu Yusheng has a very strict mouth and refuses to reveal anything."

   "Aunt Qing, tell me, which princess will this matter be related to?"

  The slender fingers tapped on the table lightly, and they also tapped into Aunt Qing's heart.

   "The old slave doesn't know."

  My aunt lowered her eyes and shook her head. She is the daughter of the emperor, and she dare not talk too much as a servant.

  The Emperor cast a sideways glance at Aunt Qing, curled his lips and said, "There is no one else here, why should Aunt Qing and I be like this?"

"The old slave didn't dare, but since the emperor asked about the old slave, the old slave remembered that when the princess came over to deliver a message, she said that the person who colluded with the Lord of Yucheng was recognized by His Highness Fifth. His Highness has been with His Highness Fourth. Be good, then Liu Yusheng can be recognized by His Royal Highness at a glance, maybe it has something to do with it..."

   Aunt Qing lowered her head and didn't say any more, the emperor could naturally think of things she could think of.

   Through her mouth, the emperor just wanted to see if the two of them had the same ideas.

   "The fourth son is usually the most sensible among the imperial daughters. Aunt Qing thinks, is there really such a temperamental child in this world?"

   "The old slave doesn't know, but the old slave can tell that His Highness Fifth has really grown up, the emperor can rest assured."

  Even if she had doubts, Aunt Qing would not say anything wrong about the fourth princess in front of the emperor.

   The emperor may not know the rumors outside, but she has heard of some.

   His Highness the Fourth Highness loves beauty, and there are many beautiful teenagers in the mansion.

  Recently, the rumors have intensified, and there are even rumors that the Fourth Highness murdered young people with cruel means. I don't know if it is true or not.

   But the rumors only came out in the past two days, and His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess only returned to Beijing yesterday. It is unclear whether these two things are related.

  Aunt Qing also dare not speak nonsense in front of the emperor.

   "It's good to grow up. When I grow up, I and the queen will feel at ease."

   Putting away the booklet in his hand, looking at the dim candlelight, the emperor murmured: "Who will poison the fifth child?"

   "His Royal Highness, I am afraid, is also clear in my heart, but I dare not speak to the emperor without evidence."

   "Perhaps! I am the emperor, after all, I am incompetent."

  The emperor smiled wryly. She was strict with her daughters because she didn't want them to go astray.

  But he didn't want to push the children further away, and he didn't even dare to tell her when he was wronged.

   "Your highnesses must be able to understand the difficulties of the emperor. If not, the fifth highness would not be so cautious. In the end, if there is no evidence, the fifth highness can only rely on the testimony of the fifth highness, and it will not convince the public."

   "You always understand me the most."

  The emperor smiled gratifiedly. She wanted to vent her anger on her daughter's behalf, but she had to show the evidence, didn't she?

   Now that it has been two years since Su Qiruo was poisoned, it is not easy to find any evidence.

   "It's late at night, the emperor should rest earlier!"

  Aunt Qing cut off the candle wick, added half a cup of tea to the emperor, and then persuaded in a low voice.

   "The last few excerpts are left, let's read them!"

   Talking was delayed for a while, but political affairs could not be delayed.

  The emperor also has a lot of involuntary things!

  Aunt Qing looked at the emperor's stretched eyebrows and knew that the emperor was in a good mood today, so she also bent her lips.

  His Highness the Fifth came back, the emperor only said that the empress was worried about her, and she was no less concerned than the empress, but the emperor never said that.

  His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness angered the Emperor when the matter of enclosing the land at the beginning, if it were the next Empress, she would have been thrown into the clan mansion long ago.

  The emperor not only concealed what His Highness the Fifth Highness had done, but also sent His Highness the Fifth Highness to Yucheng according to the princess' request.

  People's hearts are inherently biased, and the emperor is no exception.

  His Highness Fifth could not understand the emperor, and the emperor was very angry because of His Highness's misbehavior. The mother and daughter had no contact for more than two years.

   Now that His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has returned safely, the emperor is as happy as the queen.

   After all, they are close relatives of flesh and blood, broken bones are still connected with tendons.

   "Go to the warehouse tomorrow and have a look. The few pieces of light gauze and the beads from the Western Regions are all sent to Lao Wu, let her and Prince Xia play with them!"

"Yes."

  Aunt Qing had a faint smile on her face, the emperor was also hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

  How many people in the harem made up their minds about those few pieces of gauze, the emperor never let go of who to give it to, so it turned out to be reserved for His Highness the Fifth Prince!
