The emperor's people? Su Ranhua couldn't help but be curious. He had just returned to the North Palace from the palace, why did he send someone to call him into the palace again?
"Are you sent by the emperor?" Su Ranhua asked.
"Yes, Princess, please come to the palace with me as soon as possible." Li Bing said, taking out a hanging tag from his waist and showing it to Su Ranhua.
This is a gold medal bestowed by the emperor. No matter who you approach, you can face him directly without asking for permission from others. This way, things can be done much more efficiently. This is why Li Bing appeared directly at Wutong Residence without alerting anyone.
The reason. Even if the guards who stayed behind at the Beiwang Mansion discovered him, they would only report the news to Ximen Hao and would not stop him.
Although Su Ranhua didn't recognize the sign Li Bing showed, she could figure out some things and said "Okay."
"Princess, please." Li Bing gestured politely.
Su Ranhua nodded, arranged his hair and clothes, and walked towards the gate of the palace.
Liu'er pursed her lips, looked at Su Ranhua's back, paused for a moment, and then returned to Tingyuxuan.
After walking out of the palace, Li Bing took Su Ranhua on his horse and galloped towards the palace.
With the rising sun, Su Ranhua entered the palace again.
Li Bing took Su Ranhua all the way to Jinyang Palace where the emperor was.
Today happens to be March, the day when the Qingyuan Dynasty's court rests. Instead of going to the morning court, the emperor is waiting for Su Ranhua's arrival in the palace.
"My son, I have met my father." Su Ranhua stood in Jinyang Palace and knelt down to salute the emperor behind the bead curtain.
Li Bing quietly withdrew. There were only two emperors, Ximen Xianchu and Su Ranhua, left in the huge palace, and there was not a single extra palace servant.
"You are shouting "Father" here, but the Queen is silent? It is not worth mentioning in the North Palace!" Ximen Xianchu stood up with his sleeves rolled up, walked out of the bead curtain, and stood in front of Su
In front of dyeing paintings.
The natural royal aura formed a huge mountain-like barrier in front of Su Ran's painting, giving it a suffocating and strong sense of oppression.
Thinking of the emperor's last look at her before leaving in the criminal room, Su Ranhua was really unsure of the emperor's attitude towards her and was speechless for a moment.
"Get up." Ximen said Xianchu.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Ranhua kowtowed and stood up, with his hands hanging down.
"Why are you afraid? Don't you dare to call me father?" Ximen Xianchu glanced at Su Ranhua, narrowed his sharp eyes and looked at her, "This is not the one who kept talking in the criminal room to plead his grievances.
Princess Bei!"
Su Ranhua was not sure for a moment whether Ximen Xianchu meant praise or disparagement. She remained silent in front of this king who ruled the world. She believed that since the emperor had recruited her into the palace, he would definitely explain his intentions, and she only needed to be silent.
Just wait.
"Keep your position as Princess Bei and don't let Bai Yiyi marry into the Prince's Palace."
Just when Su Ranhua was silent and unable to hold his breath, Ximen Xianchu spoke again, but it was a sentence that Su Ranhua didn't expect, or it could be said to be an order or a will.
Su Ranhua raised his head and looked at Ximen Xianchu silently, trying to find out what his original intention was when he said this, but Ximen Xianchu's face was as deep as Ximen Hao's, and there was no trace of any waves.
"You despise Long Wei, do you know what punishment you deserve?" Ximen Xianchu saw Su Ranhua looking directly at him without any scruples, his heart sank a little, and he said in a domineering voice belonging to an emperor.
"I don't dare. I just want to know why my father said this. Miss Bai and Prince Bei's childhood sweethearts should have been lovers and finally got married." Su Ranhua asked boldly.
"Lovers do not necessarily become dependents, and such words should not exist in the royal family." Ximen Xianchu stared at Su Ranhua for a moment with his still eyes, and said slowly, "It is enough for the Bai family to have one queen.
All glory must come to an end. The Bai family has been in silence for so many years, and I don’t want to see the day when they rise again."
It turned out that it was still related to power. Su Ranhua understood. It seemed that the status of Ximen Hao and his son was just an explanation given by the emperor to the Bai family. What he really wanted was for the Bai family to completely collapse. Only with the emperor's restraint behind him could he
This is the real reason for the decline of the Bai family's power.
"I am only telling you these words, and I also believe that you will live up to my expectations." Ximen Xianchu glanced at Su Ranhua, who was silent, "You must remember that when Bai Yiyi married into the North Prince's Mansion,
One day is the time when your life is over."
The cold voice was thicker and more sinister than Ximen Hao's.
Ximen Hao's kindness towards Bai Yiyi was something Ximen Xianchu never expected back then. Now he is worried about Ximen Hao and cannot easily get rid of Bai Yiyi. In order to prevent Ximen Hao from doting on Bai Yiyi, Aiwujiwu once again supported the power of the Bai family.
, Ximen Xianchu could only secretly prevent Bai Yiyi from becoming the royal daughter-in-law.
The unexpected appearance of Su Ranhua solved this problem for Ximen Xianchu and occupied the position of the North Princess one step ahead. Although Su Ranhua had the power of the Prime Minister's Palace behind him, Ximen Xianchu knew the layout of the Prime Minister's Palace and the two palaces of the North and South.
There is only restraint between them and no help.
Originally, Su Ranhua didn't care about Bai Yiyi's existence. She had already set a deadline for her departure from Beiwang Mansion. However, Ximen Xianchu's words forced her to rethink her situation.
It seems that for her own safety, she cannot let Ximen Hao marry Bai Yiyi.
"Yes, I obey your orders."
The emperor's power was supreme, so Su Ranhua could not help but say no.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is here." Li Bing waited outside the palace gate and whispered.
After hearing this, Ximen Xianchu glanced outside the door, waved his sleeves, turned around and walked into the bead curtain. Seeing that the emperor had no intention of dismissing her, Su Ranhua had to wait quietly aside.
A moment later, with a shout of "The Queen has arrived!", the Queen walked into Jinyang Palace, faced the west gate and saluted, "I see you, Your Majesty."
"The Queen's body is flat." Ximen Xianchu was leaning on the dragon couch with a lazy expression, completely different from the deep one he had when he was talking to Su Ranhua just now.
Ximen Xianchu waved gently, and the queen walked to the bead curtain, lifted up the jade bead curtain, and sat next to Ximen Xianchu.
"I didn't sleep well at night, so the queen didn't get much rest, so she came to me early." Ximen Xianchu held the queen's hand with a hint of affection on his face.
"I heard that the emperor had summoned Princess Bei into the palace, and I didn't know what happened. I was worried, so I hurried over to see the emperor." The queen said, glancing at Su Ranhua who was standing aside.
The Jinyang Palace at this time was very strange. Li Binghou was at the palace gate, and there were only the emperor and Su Ranhua in the palace. This could not but make the queen suspicious.
"I was really annoyed when Yi'er did something shameful, so I summoned Princess Bei for questioning, and told her to be careful in the future and not to do anything that would disgrace the royal family again. I wanted to call the queen over, but
I felt sorry for the queen, so I didn’t disturb Jinhuayuan. I wonder who the talkative person disturbed the queen!"
Ximen Xianchudao not only showed a caring heart for the queen, but also explained why there was no one else in the palace, alleviating the queen's doubts. He obviously wanted to track down the person who leaked the news, but he showed a caring attitude.
The Queen is thinking about the problem.
We can’t help but say how careful this man, who is sitting on the ninth level of honor, is!
