The jailer seemed to have heard a fantasy, and laughed and said: "Framed? You can still be framed for committing adultery. It is said that the emperor caught it personally. Tsk tsk, she is indeed very beautiful." He touched his chin and looked at Concubine Chen up and down with a squinting look. Concubine Chen was surprised: "What do you want to do?"
The jailer smiled: "I'm afraid the imperial concubine won't be able to get out of this prison now. I've lived half my life, but I have never slept with the emperor's woman..." After saying that, he weighed the key on his waist, as if he was preparing to come in. . Concubine Chen was so frightened that she turned pale and backed away. She had heard about the woman being insulted by the guards and soldiers in the prison, but she never thought that one day it would be her turn. For a moment, he hated Han Yan and Fu Yunxi so much that he wanted to peel off their skin and cramp their muscles.
But Han Yan was really surprised when he received the imperial edict.
The emperor announced that Hanyan had entered the palace. Fu Yunxi was not in the Xuanqing Palace at the moment. The emperor's will could not be disobeyed. However, after Concubine Chen was thrown into the sky prison and announced that she had entered the palace, anyone would have thought that they were coming to investigate. The emperor would not doubt himself for no reason. It was just another person who was leading the emperor to consider him. Who else could that person be besides the Queen Mother
Ji Lan looked at Han Yan worriedly: "Miss, are we going now?" Although he didn't know why the Emperor Xuan entered the palace, but seeing Han Yan frowning like this, Ji Lan couldn't help but worry. stand up. The young lady just escaped from danger in the palace a few days ago. This palace is really not a good place.
"Of course I want to go. Is it possible that I want to resist the order?" Han Yan smiled: "Let someone prepare the carriage and find some guards from the palace who are good at martial arts." Now is an extraordinary period, and Han Yan doesn't want to cause trouble. Fortunately, the servants in this mansion were extremely respectful to her, so it was not difficult to mobilize a few guards. After thinking about it, she grabbed Ji Lan who was about to leave again: "By the way, tell me to go down. If the prince comes back, tell him that I went to the palace."
If something unexpected happened, if Fu Yunxi arrived in time, perhaps nothing would go wrong. Shu Hong was still recovering from her injuries, so she couldn't follow him. Han Yan sighed and frowned slightly when he thought of the palace.
It is indeed a place that can eat people.
High walls with red walls, gold tiles and bead curtains.
This was the first time Han Yan was summoned by the emperor alone. When she saw the Queen Mother on the high throne, a flash of understanding flashed in her heart.
The emperor said: "Sit down and raise your head for me to see."
Han Yan stood up and raised his face as the emperor said.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at the girl who was his sister-in-law. He really didn't understand how Fu Yunxi, who had always been cold and indifferent and looked down upon by everyone, could fall in love with this ordinary little girl. There is indeed some cleverness and talent, but if this is the case, Fu Yunxi should have accepted the talented girl from the capital a few years ago, and Han Yan's family background is really ordinary. Only when Han Yan raised his face did the emperor see clearly what this little girl looked like.
The little girl in front of her had pale skin and looked a little weak, but her bright black eyes seemed to add endless vitality to her, like a vibrant weed. This girl seems to have grown up compared to the child-like appearance she had the previous two times, and it seems that this is her original appearance. Her facial features are delicate and well-behaved, but for some reason, there is a hint of unruliness under her seemingly gentle eyes. Like a wild horse that cannot be tamed, yet pretending to be close to people.
His eyes narrowed, and he suddenly couldn't see through this thirteen-year-old girl.
It's strange. When he heard that Zhuang Shiyang abused his legitimate daughter and that the concubines in the palace bullied the little girl, the emperor had doubted whether it was Fu Yunxi who took pity on her and decided to marry her as his concubine. But now it seems that this little girl is calm, calm and alert, and she can't see the humiliation and grievance after being abused at all. On the contrary, she had a faint smile, as if she had never experienced anything bad, her smiling eyes were crooked, and she was extremely happy.
Those who can disguise are the ones who hide the deepest.
He glanced at Han Yan meaningfully: "Miss Zhuang, I announced your arrival this time because I heard that you disappeared for no reason in the imperial garden on the night of Concubine Chen's birthday." Seeing that Han Yan remained calm, the emperor also Instead of playing riddles, he said, "Why did Miss Zhuang leave halfway?"
Han Yan bowed and said, "Back to the emperor, I was watching the fireworks with my empress and madam that night. I wanted to go to the cleansing room on the way, so I left. Unexpectedly, on the way, I met assassin."
"Assassin?" The emperor had never heard this statement before: "What assassin?"
Han Yan shook her head in fear: "It was getting late at that time, and I didn't see the assassin clearly. It's just that my maid was injured by the assassin in order to save her. I was frightened, but luckily she escaped. Fang happened to meet the prince, and then the servant fainted and woke up in Prince Xuanqing's palace."
The Queen Mother, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke: "Since Miss Zhuang said that she met an assassin, why didn't she tell the emperor about it? The emperor's dragon body is precious, if anything goes wrong, how can you afford it! You woman , Could it be intentional!"
Han Yan was startled and knelt down quickly: "I dare not lie to Your Majesty. Before I fainted, I told the truth about the assassin in the palace. The prince also sent people to search for the assassin in the palace and help him by the way. The girl looked for her two maids, but was stopped by the Queen Mother, saying that it was the Imperial Concubine’s birthday and would not be easily disturbed.” Han Yan’s little face showed panic and aggrievement: “The prince must have been afraid of disturbing the Imperial Concubine, so he We tried our best to suppress this matter and did not spread it to the outside world.”
The emperor glanced at the queen mother thoughtfully: "That's it."
The Queen Mother calmly sipped her tea and said, "In this case, it's the Ai family's fault."
Han Yan immediately said: "I don't dare. The Queen Mother is the reincarnation of Bodhisattva. How could she have anything to do with these things? It's all the assassin's fault. How could there be such a bold person in the world who dares to sneak into the palace and try to harm her?" A member of the royal family will definitely go to the eighteenth level of hell after death, and will never be reincarnated."
The Emperor was silent, and the Queen Mother's little fingertips trembled slightly, with a smile as usual on her face: "Did you know that Concubine Chen Guifei was thrown into the sky prison?"
Han Yan was already here, and her little mouth opened in surprise: "I don't know..."
The Queen Mother looked at her calmly and said with a smile: "Concubine Chen was caught committing adultery and was put in prison."
Han Yan's expression showed a hint of surprise and confusion, but she seemed to be afraid of the majesty of the royal family and did not let her ask. The emperor observed her expression carefully. Her reaction was normal, exactly the expression of a girl who heard about this for the first time. However, her performance was too perfect, without any flaws, but it made the emperor a little suspicious. Just because it seemed that Han Yan shouldn't show such a confused expression, instead a calm and clear expression should appear on her face.
