After Liu Yu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the palace was a little awkward for a while.
"Prince..." Liu Yu suddenly called.
"Uh... I'm here!" Liu Lang was stunned and responded hurriedly.
Then, Liu Yu stood up with the help of Pei Yang. Along with the emperor, everyone in the palace stood up one after another.
Liu Yu glanced at the prince and said calmly: "I'm tired, please accompany me back to the palace..."
"Yes, Father!" Liu Lang responded.
Liu Yu, accompanied by Liu Lang and Pei Yang, slowly walked out of the palace. Chai Yan had already retreated to the side and stood solemnly.
When passing by Chai Yan, Liu Yu suddenly stopped and looked at Chai Yan, who immediately lowered his eyes and held his hands in a respectful manner.
Liu Yu said calmly: "Prince, this man's tricks are good. Let him come to the palace to perform for your mother some other day. It will also relieve your boredom."
"Yes, Father, I have remembered it." After Liu Lang replied, he raised his eyes and glanced at Chai Yan.
Then, Liu Yu walked straight out of the main hall without any further pause, and a chorus of shouts rang out from behind him: "Congratulations to the Emperor!"
Seeing the emperor and the prince leaving together, Chai Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Princess, it's time for Wei Chen and his family to say goodbye!"
At this time, Chai Yan suddenly heard Jimoshu's slightly dissatisfied words.
The princess hurriedly said: "Master Jimo, what happened today..."
Jimoshu raised his hand and interrupted: "Princess, there is no need to say any more..."
Chai Yan quickly turned around and bowed to Jimo Shu, saying: "Master Jimo, please calm down. I am the only one responsible for this matter. Please punish me, Master Jimo!"
Jimoshu asked: "Is it your fault?"
Chai Yan lowered his head and said bluntly: "Yes! If I hadn't begged His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess for help, these troubles wouldn't have happened tonight, so... Lord Jimo, please punish me!"
Jimoshu was a little surprised. Chai Yan was just a small official. How could he ask the crown prince and crown princess for help?
There must be some reason for this...
Jimoshu put this aside for the time being, stared at Chai Yan and asked: "Why do you come here?"
Chai Yan showed no fear on his face, looked at Yuanyuan with burning eyes, and said with a smile: "Come see my beloved!"
Yuanyuan didn't expect that Chai Yan would dare to say such straightforward words in front of everyone. His face instantly turned crimson and he lowered his head in embarrassment, but he felt happy and sweet in his heart.
Jimo Qiao next to him was also startled by these words, and secretly thought, can you say such shameful words?
While Jimo Qiao was happy for his sister, he also cast a strange look at Chai Yan, probably saying, "How dare you say such a thing in front of my father? You are so brave!"
Jimoshu frowned and stared at Chai Yan, while Chai Yan looked at Jimosu without changing his expression. The two just stood in the center of the hall and stared at each other, neither of them intending to speak first.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the Crown Princess quickly came over and calmed down and said: "Master Jimo, it's all my fault that I made the decision privately. The entire responsibility lies with me..."
"Hahaha..." Unexpectedly, Jimoshu suddenly laughed and interrupted the princess's words.
The second monk Chai Yanzhang was scratching his head, thinking to himself what happened to his future father-in-law? Why is he laughing inexplicably...
The laughter suddenly stopped. Jimoshu looked at Chai Yan with a smile but not a smile and said, "You are really a character who is not afraid of death!"
When Jimoshu said this, there was murderous intent in his eyes.
It's the kind of murderous intention that Chai Yan can feel himself without Shangguan Peining's verbal reminder!
Chai Yan said respectfully: "Thank you, Lord Jimo, for the compliment!"
Jimo Qiao almost fell down after hearing this, rolled his eyes and thought to himself, is this a compliment to you?
Mrs. Jimo hurried forward and said softly: "Husband, you see it's not too early now, how about..."
Jimoshu looked at his wife, then glanced back at Chai Yan, then turned around and bowed to the Crown Princess: "Thank you for the hospitality of Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, it's time for the Wei Chen family to say goodbye!"
Seeing this situation, the Crown Princess did not want to persuade him to stay, so she returned a gift to Jimoshu and his wife.
"You'er, Qiao'er, let's go!"
After Jimoshu finished speaking, he and his wife walked out of the main hall. Jimoqiao quickly saluted the princess, and then urged his sister to follow his father and mother.
Yuanyuan didn't want to leave, but Chai Yan finally persuaded with a smile: "Go back, don't keep your parents waiting, we are not far apart, there will be many opportunities to meet in the future..."
After hearing this, Yuan followed Jimo Qiao reluctantly.
As soon as the Jimo family disappeared outside the palace, Chai Yan couldn't help but sigh: "Alas..."
------------------
On the way back to the palace, inside the carriage...
Pei Yang, who accompanied Liu Yu when he arrived, had been replaced by the prince Liu Lang, so Pei Yang had to walk beside the chariot, enduring the cold north wind that hit at night.
Perhaps because he was really tired, Liu Yu sat leaning on the chariot since he got into the carriage. Liu Lang did not dare to be rude and always maintained an upright sitting posture with his eyes slightly lowered, waiting for his father's instructions.
"Prince, is this Chai Yan the young man who returned to Beijing with Jimo You?" Liu Yu asked with half-squinted eyes.
Liu Lang was shocked and confessed: "Yes, father, this is the man who returned to Beijing with his sister-in-law."
"Tell me, why did he show up tonight?" Liu Yu asked lazily.
Liu Lang didn't dare to hide it, so he told the truth about Chai Yan's request for him to help him meet Jimo You.
After hearing this, Liu Yu couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "It seems that I shouldn't have come, because I disturbed your situation..."
"My son made an independent opinion, please punish me!" Liu Lang quickly admitted his mistake to his father.
Liu Yu was puzzled and asked: "He is just a small official. It's really surprising that you would help him to such an extent..."
"Father, my son has a reason for doing this!" Liu Lang frowned and his tone suddenly became more serious.
Liu Yu's eyes immediately opened wider: "Oh?"
Liu Langzheng was worried that he had no chance to tell his father what happened to Zhao Cong, so he finally found the right time.
Less than half an hour later, the chariot finally drove into the palace.
Liu Lang also happened to explain clearly the two cases in which Zhao Cong was framed. Liu Yu, who had been sitting next to him, had already sat up straight and looked much more serious.
"Father, the general situation is like this..." Liu Lang paused and said, "Then Chai Yan doesn't ask for any reward, he just wants to meet and talk to his adopted sister. I see that he is sincere and sincere."
, I was moved and responded to him..."
Liu Yu nodded and said, "Well, Chai Yan has indeed done great service for you. It's only human nature for you to help him. It's just that Jimoshu's side..."
Liu Lang immediately said: "Father, don't worry, I will come to apologize to the high priest of Jimo tomorrow!"
Liu Yu said again: "Prince, you have guessed who the mastermind behind the attack on Zhao Cong is, right?"
Liu Lang hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "Maybe I guessed wrong..."
Liu Yu lowered his eyelids and sighed, thankfully saying: "Fortunately, Zhao Cong is fine, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable...Prince, please don't pursue this matter for the time being, I will give him a good beating!"
