Chapter 268 Let Xu Jian follow(1/2)
These three words obviously exceeded His Majesty’s expectations.
Even though he was simmering with anger, he couldn't help but calm down for a while.
Let’s first listen to what Xu Jian said.
Listen to where he went wrong.
"Oh?" The Holy Master took a sip of tea and motioned for Xu Jian to continue.
"A while ago, I met His Highness at night at Deyue Tower." Xu Jian frowned, looking thoughtful, "As you know, I am not very close to the Liu family, but my biological mother still visits during the holidays.
Always thinking about me.
It was also on that day that she sent someone to send a message, saying that she was taking the Liu Xun brothers and sisters to Deyuelou to listen to a play, and asked if I wanted to go with them.
Normally, I would refuse this kind of thing, but I couldn't bear it and went anyway that day. I didn't expect to meet His Highness.
His Highness had also just arrived and had a few words with Liu Xun. Perhaps he was tired of confronting his ministers in the Yamen, so he left after speaking.
Regarding this matter, I didn’t think much about it at the time and just regarded it as an accidental encounter.
When I came here just now, I was thinking that His Highness looked very familiar with Liu Xun that day, but they should not be familiar with each other.
A prince who watches politics every day, and a son of an official who has never been an official. If they don't get to know each other during the day, they must have become friends only after they went to the Yamen.
If I had thought of this earlier, I might have discovered what Liu Xun and His Highness were doing earlier...
I can advise Your Highness, or I can mention it to you, instead of being caught by Shuntian Mansion and the garrison Yamen, and there will be no room for maneuver."
The Holy Master nodded slightly.
What Xu Jian said makes sense.
If you think a little more, you will see more.
But I didn’t think more about that step. Is it Xu Jian’s fault?
I definitely wouldn’t think so.
He was so angry that he would not blame Shaoer's mistakes on someone who was right.
"I can't blame you." The Holy Sage sighed.
Don't talk about Xu Jian.
Shuntian Mansion and the garrison Yamen also looked worried about losing their official titles.
Because Shan Shen and the others also know that this is a trap.
They caught the key criminal but fell into the trap. Can they not worry about catching Shaoer?
And he knew clearly that these two yamen had stepped into a big hole, but he would not take action on anyone.
In the final analysis, Shao'er is the one who is being designed and doesn't even know it.
Just as he was thinking about it, the Holy Father spoke again when he saw Xu Jian.
"One more thing. When I was at the Yamen yesterday, I saw that His Highness was a little impatient, so I gave him a few words of advice." Xu Jian looked a little nervous, "I just didn't pay enough attention to the wording. Maybe His Highness didn't hear it very well."
His Highness was probably angry, so he did not return to the palace and went out to have a drink."
The Holy Emperor was stunned, looked at Xu Jian a few times, and asked: "What did you say?"
Xu Jian did not hide anything, summarized the content and removed the tone.
The meaning is still the same, but the tone has changed, and of course the sound and feeling are different.
The Holy Spirit laughed "ha", but the smile did not reach his eyes.
He knows Xu Jian.
Xu Jian is "keeping it" in front of the emperor.
In fact, what fell into Shao'er's ears yesterday was definitely worse.
After all, Xu Jian's mouth is really not very pleasant when it comes to yin and yang, and even the calm elders in the court may not be able to bear this anger, let alone a young and energetic person like Shao'er.
Xu Jian may have done it on purpose, but he didn't know about Chenmi Hutong, so he wouldn't have thought of the consequences of the yin and yang.
Of course, if you have a troublesome mouth, you still need to be reprimanded a few times.
"I told you before," the Holy Emperor looked at Xu Jian disapprovingly, "Behave in the court and don't just have fun all day long.
Not only are you having fun, you can't stop talking, and you've made it difficult for others to get off the stage several times.
I heard that An Yibo also told you this, right?
Even though I’m trying to persuade you, I don’t think you’re any good at all!”
Xu Jian received these two words of punishment. It was not painful or itchy, and he did not take it seriously. On the face of it, he was very respectful: "You have taught me a lesson."
"I see you can listen," the Holy One said again, "I have been patient in not talking about fun this morning, but I have lost my temper in the next morning. I went to give Shao'er a few words yesterday. I won't tell you anything about you, king, king, minister.
I'm just saying what I say, but please keep your mouth shut. People who are about to get married are about to provoke Ning'an in the future."
When Xu Jian heard this, he didn't hold back his eyebrows and showed a little smile.
To be honest, he also irritated the little princess.
When the Holy Spirit saw him smiling, he stopped lecturing him.
Zuo's fault was just that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Compared with Shao'er's messy things, it's not worth mentioning.
Shaoer is half as "not causing trouble" as Xu Jian, so he doesn't have to worry about it now.
After thinking about it, the Holy Master said: "Don't leave in a hurry. Go sit in the side hall for a while. I'll make arrangements after I finish asking the other people."
Xu Jian agreed, got up and left first.
Eunuch Cao sent him all the way out, and ordered a young eunuch at the door to wait on him in the side hall.
Xu Jian stood in the corridor and exhaled slowly.
Shan Shen and Wantang immediately surrounded him and asked in silence.
"How is your Majesty feeling now?"
"I didn't hear the Holy Spirit getting angry outside. What's the situation?"
Sangu didn't ask, but he listened with open ears.
Xu Jian replied softly: "Your Majesty is in a relatively peaceful mood right now. The adults can just say whatever they want later. Your Majesty is not unreasonable."
Eunuch Cao was standing nearby and glanced at a few people.
Based on his observation, the Holy Spirit's anger did subside a lot in the end.
He probably mentioned some household matters, including Princess Ning'an, and the Duke of Guo laughed when he heard the title of Princess Ning'an, which made the emperor's mood relax a lot.
When Xu Jian went to the side hall, Eunuch Cao led the others in.
Wantang was still a little frightened, so he asked Eunuch Cao: "The Holy One is really peaceful?"
"Young Master Guo has dealt with it well. Your Majesty has calmed down a lot." Eunuch Cao replied.
After hearing this, Wantang breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank you, Duke Fu.
If the Duke of Fu, who is leading the charge, makes the Holy Shang angry, no one behind them will be able to escape.
Shan Shen turned his head and glanced in the direction of the side hall.
He has seen that the Duke's mouth can really make people smoke when they are angry.
Fortunately, it is still very reliable at critical times.
Then again, the problem this time had little to do with the Duke of Guo. Instead, he and Wantang witnessed the naked Highness.
After entering and bowing, the Holy Spirit asked everyone to sit down and talk.
Sangu, you look at me, I look at you, both of them want to speak but hesitate.
"Don't say anything to apologize," the Holy Sage stopped them, and asked Shan Shen, "Please tell me carefully what happened."
Shan Shen wanted to stand up and reply, but Pian Sheng adopted a posture of "You sit down and talk", which made him feel uncomfortable.
After moving a few times, only a little bit of the edge was touched, so it was not so panicky. Shan Shen organized his thoughts and started talking about everything in detail.
After Shan Shen finished speaking, it was Wantang.
Commander Wan told how he came to help, how he rushed into the house, and how he saw a room full of chaos when he met Shan Shen.
Lord Rao Shisheng's mood calmed down a lot after talking to Xu Jian. After listening to the two officials who led the team to arrest people explain the process, his anger was still rising.
After taking a sip of tea and trying to suppress his anger, the Holy Master asked: "So, the entire trial hasn't been completed yet?"
"No," Shan Shen said, "there are still three dancers who haven't woken up. Liu Xun's explanation was vague and he hasn't asked His Highness yet."
"Then keep asking," the Holy Master said. "When you find Shao'er, you can ask whatever you want and ask everything clearly."
On the side, Wen Shaobao's chest felt tight and he couldn't help coughing twice.
Thinking that he was going to express his opinion, everyone looked over.
