"Let's go into the palace too." She stood up, "If Chu Ting is innocent, he can explain himself and then enter the palace with us. He obviously doesn't dare to go with us. He is probably hiding something."
After all, everyone has very sensitive noses. If he stayed with them for a long time, the smell might be picked up. He was probably worried about this.
Xiao Xian left side by side with her. His expression was always a little dull and his mood could not be seen, but Shen Mingzhu knew that he was not feeling well.
After all, Chu Ting saved them, so he was a benefactor, but if Chu Ting killed Wen Songzhi, he was an enemy, and he must take revenge. It is not easy to distinguish between grievances and grievances.
Neither of them said anything, they mounted their horses and headed back to the palace.
The palace has now entered a state of full alert. Nervousness is written on the faces of the guards. Unfortunately, because Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu's guards are still there, they are not so nervous. They just keep away from strangers.
In fact, he looked more serious than those guards who were on full alert.
Someone was already waiting there, and when they saw them coming in, they invited them in.
Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu followed the guards who led the way to the imperial study.
This imperial study is not the former emperor's, but the prince's study of Xiao Che. To the east of the imperial study, there is also a courtyard. It is slightly smaller than the imperial study, but more exquisite. The flowers and trees in the courtyard are sparse, and the tree shadows are deep.
It is very comfortable in the autumn season when tigers are rampant.
However, no one had such thoughts. They all came in in a hurry with heavy faces.
Mr. Yan Ge led the civil servants' column, and Qiu Yue led the military attache's column. That position was originally occupied by Wen Songzhi, but he has died, so the senior Qiu Yue will temporarily lead it.
Except for Xiao Run, all the princes and princesses were ordered by Xiao Che to stay in their own palace and were not allowed to move around at will. The emperor's concubines were also not allowed to come in and out at will.
Only Xiao Run came, ranking below the crown prince, the leader of the hundred officials, while Chu Ting stood next to Xiao Che.
When Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu came in, they were silent. Seeing them come in, Mr. Yan Ge had an angry look on his face, as if he was about to curse but still held back.
Chu Ting curled his lips towards them, revealing a barely visible smile.
"Xiao Xian, you still have the nerve to come here. You are a wolf-hearted person. Your Majesty has been so kind to you, but you actually...ah..."
An official who was qualified to go to the palace due to his connections wanted to show his face at this time and reprimand Xiao Xian to please Mr. Yan Ge and the future new king. However, before he could finish his words, he was slapped by Shen Mingzhu.
He was left lying on the ground, his mouth was swollen and he couldn't speak, and he couldn't get up.
This turn of events caused the civil and military officials in the study to gasp.
Shen Mingzhu and the others also knew that the emperor had treated her well before living in the palace. They didn't expect that a little girl like Jiao Didi would be so cruel.
The official who was knocked over originally wanted to show his face and sell well, but Xiao Xian did not dare to do anything to him in front of so many people, and he accepted it even if he was beaten.
How did you know it was so cruel?
Except for the movement of his brain, he could no longer move his whole body. Everyone present was also stunned, especially the elders of Yan Ge, who had sullen faces and looked like they were about to get angry at any time.
But he also knew that he had no way to resist Xiao Xian's anger, so he did not dare to be rude to Shen Mingzhu.
