Tong Hua'an did not dare to say that he suspected Xuan Jinmo had kidnapped his children. Although he was eager to know, he could only say: "Jin Yan has been in a bad mood since she married Wei Chen as his wife. Wei Chen was worried, but
It is inconvenient to press, so I wanted to ask through Jin Mo, but I rushed to the palace in a hurry to ask for your forgiveness."
The emperor seemed a little surprised. He paused and said as if unintentionally: "Tong Aiqing is indeed a compassionate man. I was shocked. I was wondering what happened to make Tong Aiqing so restless."
Tong Hua'an blushed, hearing the dissatisfaction in the emperor's words. In his anger, he forgot that the Tong family had always been in charge of the military, and he was the emperor's appointed military champion, but he was so rude for the sake of his children. Naturally, the emperor was dissatisfied. Although
He didn't say it clearly, but there was a hint of blame in his words.
"I know I was wrong." Tong Huaan whispered in annoyance.
"Xiaoye, is your brother telling the truth?" The emperor suddenly turned to ask Tong Xiaoye.
Xuan Jin paused in his heart and looked at Tong Xiaoye, who had been listening to everyone talking. She was Tong Huaan's biological sister and had always been extremely favored by her family. She heard that her brother was ridiculed by the emperor because of Xuan Jinyan's matter, would she say anything?
Revealing Xuan Jinyan's secret to excuse his brother?
Probably not. Although Tong Xiaoye is only eleven years old, she is not as ignorant as Jin Yan.
Tong Xiaoye didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly ask her this question. She was slightly startled and looked at the emperor, a little confused. After a pause, she said in shock: "Brother really cares about my sister-in-law."
Xuan Jinmo was stunned for a moment, and realized in an instant, what the emperor asked was: Is your brother telling the truth? In other words, the emperor did not believe that Tong Huaan would come to the palace in such a hurry to find him for a woman!
The emperor was actually very suspicious. He was particularly concerned about the rights and wrongs and the quality of the relationship between his ministers as he was unable to fully control the government affairs.
"Really?" The emperor asked seemingly unintentionally.
Tong Huaan also reacted, his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously pressed his hand on his chest.
Tong Xiaoye was a little hesitant and didn't know how to answer. He heard Xuan Jinmo's voice gently ringing in his ears, "Xiaoye, find a way to make the emperor believe it, otherwise it will harm your brother."
"My brother has been in love with Sister-in-law Jinyan for ten years. Mother said that this is one of the things that my brother wants to achieve most. Besides honoring the ancestors, it is also the wedding ceremony." Tong Xiaoye didn't have time to think too much, so she bite the bullet and recounted what she said when chatting with her mother.
He took it out to prevaricate, "Sister-in-law Jinyan has never been in good health since she was married. Maybe she is not used to being away from her parents for the first time. In addition, what happened a few days ago has made the family worried, especially my brother."
It sounds far-fetched, but there is no trace of lying on Tong Xiaoye's face.
The emperor smiled and said, "It turns out that Tong Aiqing cares so much about Xuan Aiqing's sister. Haha, it's a pity that she is not my daughter. Otherwise, I would definitely feel comforted that someone cares about my daughter so much."
Tong Huaan let out a long sigh in his heart and said with some shame: "Your Majesty praises you. You princesses are the proud daughters of heaven, and you will definitely be accompanied by men of outstanding appearance."
Tong Xiaoye vaguely felt that there must be other reasons why her brother came to the palace in such a hurry this time. The guard Cao made it very clear, "Master Tong is very anxious, saying that he wants to see Master Xuan immediately, and the subordinates feel that there must be something urgent."
It's something else, otherwise Master Tong wouldn't be like this."
Therefore, the emperor allowed Guard Cao to bring his brother over.
"Your Majesty, I want to visit Princess Tianxiang. Xiaoye has been injured since she fell. Princess Tianxiang has been feeling guilty. I hope she can let go of this matter." Xuan Jinmo suddenly spoke and said respectfully, "Actually, this incident was an accident.
."
The emperor smiled slightly and said: "That girl is so favored by me that I don't know how much I love her. It would be nice if she could be taught a lesson, but you could also try to persuade her. This is the first time that she has taken the initiative to think about her mistakes behind closed doors. I am also afraid that she will not be able to think about her grievances for a while."
Xuan Jinmo looked at Tong Huaan, smiled slightly, and said gently: "Cousin Huaan, we brothers can talk about Jinyan in private."
Tong Hua'an was very upset, but couldn't say anything to stop him. He could only watch Xuan Jinmo leave with a smile. He turned his head and saw the emperor's eyes turning away from him slightly. He was slightly startled and only focused on his anger.
I have forgotten the principle of being respectful and obedient in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I am worried about the health of my wife Jin Yan. Since she was rescued this time, Jin Yan has been depressed. My behavior today is really reckless, but please forgive me because I am too worried.
This is rude." Tong Huaan also wanted to leave, hoping to go back to Bieyuan to find a way to find his son and daughter.
The emperor smiled slightly and said: "Nothing, you can go back first. If you need the palace doctors, I will let them go at any time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I guess that my wife is just suffering from a heart problem. I hope I can get the answer from Jin Mo and give her the right medicine." Tong Huaan said respectfully.
Tong Xiaoye suddenly remembered Xuan Jinyan's sleep talk and was slightly startled. She looked at her brother with some pity. She wondered if Jinyan's sister-in-law could forget the slave named Feng Dazhu and live a good life with her brother for the rest of her life.
After leaving the palace, Tong Huaan's heart was in a mess, and he became more and more troubled as he walked. Xiaoye's accidental injury was because of Princess Tianxiang, and it was not a secret that Princess Tianxiang liked Xuan Jinmo, although only the Xuan family knew that Princess Tianxiang and Xuanfu Xuan were in love.
One of Jinxiu and Xuan Jincheng was engaged, and the Tong family also learned about it from Tong Wei.
If Xuan Jinmo wants to deal with Tong Xiaoye, there is no need for him to come forward. Princess Tianxiang is enough to make Xiaoye live or die!
Perhaps, taking away Hao'er and Yun'er was also Xuan Jinmo's warning to himself.
The carriage in front of the gate of Bieyuan disappeared somewhere and the door was locked.
Just as he was wondering, he heard the sound of a carriage coming back. Before he could react, a woman cried and threw herself into his arms, saying loudly: "Mother-in-law, my mother-in-law doesn't allow us to come in!"
This is Jiang Xiuping.
"Have Hao'er and Yun'er been found?" Tong Huaan asked immediately.
"Yes." Lu Xiaoli led the two children out of the carriage, with an embarrassed look on her face. She looked at Jiang Xiuping, who was crying loudly in Tong Hua'an's arms, and whispered, "Hao'er and Yun'er are hiding in the carriage and sleeping.
Well, Sister Jiang wanted to put her things on the carriage and wait for you to come back to the General's Mansion, so she found the two brothers and sisters."
"They hid in the carriage and fell asleep?" Tong Huaan frowned and looked at his children, "Hao'er, Yun'er, tell daddy, why did you two think of sleeping in the carriage?"
"Mr. Xiuping—" Jiang Xiuping muttered unhappily when she saw that Tong Huaan was always ignoring her, "Don't you first ask Xiuping how she has been wronged?"
