The general went out again at night + extra episode

"Please sir."

"Your Highness, please."

The two sat down in the hall, and the servants brought good tea and snacks.Zhao Yanyuan knew that His Royal Highness the eldest princess liked to be quiet, so there was no need for many people to be in the same room, so while she was drinking tea, he secretly winked at the butler.

"I heard that Mr. Zhao Ge suffered from frequent leg problems recently, so I ordered someone to find good herbs from the East China Sea." Ji Qianyao's tone was slow, like the clear spring in the mountain, pleasant to the ear, and then waved his hand, Su Jin led With a few of his men, he carried a large box.

When the box was opened, it was filled with precious medicines for strengthening the body, most of which were hard to find with a lot of money.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness the Eldest Princess." Zhao Yanyuan raised his trembling hands and clasped his fists together: "It's just that these herbs are extremely precious, and the ones His Highness sent back last time have not been eaten, so I dare not take them again this time."

Hearing this, Ji Qianyao frowned: "Mr. Zhao Ge has done his best for the imperial court, and he must also pay attention to his health. It has been a while since the last time he sent it. This time, the fresh one was sent to Beijing in a hurry, and the medicine is also effective. It's even better, Mr. Ge, don't want to refuse."

Zhao Yanyuan didn't dare to refuse such kindness, and he accepted it after thanking him again and again.

"I see that Ge Lao's complexion is a bit grim, is it because he didn't have a good rest yesterday?"

Zhao Yanyuan smiled bitterly, and sighed: "Recently, there are a lot of chores, making my head burnt out, and I really can't sleep well at night."

Ji Qianyao showed concern, and then became very angry: "My palace has also heard about the matter in Ge Laobai's house. Ge Laobai was humiliated. If the person who spread the rumors is caught, he must be punished!"

His Royal Highness the Princess was indignant, Zhao Yanyuan couldn't help but be overjoyed.He immediately thought that if he revealed that Xia Qingshu had "framed" the Zhao Mansion, His Royal Highness the Princess would definitely be on his side.With the honorable status of His Royal Highness, Xia Qingshu would never be able to stand up if he said a few words in front of His Majesty.

Oh, by the way, Xia Qingshu was so bold as to be rude to His Highness the Eldest Princess, given this opportunity, she could also vent her anger on His Highness!

"Your Highness, calm down. Your Highness is a noble phoenix, and it is not appropriate to be angry with such a dirty villain. The old minister heard that Wucheng Bingmasi has tracked down the clues of those who spread rumors, and he will soon find out the people behind the scenes."

"Elder Ge is suffering."

"Your Highness speaks seriously, and the world is always dependent on good and bad. It is a great blessing for the Zhao family to receive His Highness's care!"

Respectfully seeing off Ji Qianyao, Zhao Yanyuan was still immersed in boundless joy, a sense of comfort spreading through his body as he firmly stomped the enemy under his feet.

Then let him be the final terminator.

"Come here, call Master Shijun to the study."

"Yes."

"Report to Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao Ge is asking to see you." On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, it was the last day of the five-day limit given by Emperor Hongsu to Xia Qingshu. It was Mr. Zhao Ge who wiped his tears with his sleeves.

Seeing this gesture, Emperor Hongsu was puzzled, how could a famous and promising scholar be so disrespectful?

Before the emperor could express his concern, Zhao Yanyuan threw off his crutches and knelt down, clacking his head heavily: "Your Majesty, please be the master of the old minister!"

Emperor Hongsu's face changed slightly, and he waved his hand to stop him: "Zhao Qing, don't be too polite, just take care of yourself. Come here, give me a seat!"

"Your Majesty, please allow me to kneel down. I have a big grievance and I need to kneel down to report it." Zhao Yanyuan bent down on the ground, his body was still trembling slightly, Emperor Hongsu really couldn't bear it, so he persuaded: "Zhao Qing, why bother? It's the same when you sit and talk."

"Your Majesty, please kneel down." Zhao Yanyuan kowtowed again, unable to kneel for a long time, the eunuch who was in a dilemma knelt with him, neither helped nor not, his eyes turned between him and the Holy One, His face was full of anxiety.

Emperor Hongsu had a premonition of the seriousness of the matter, so he stopped dragging the saw, straightened his expression and said: "What is your grievance, tell me and listen to me, and I will avenge your grievance."

Only then did Zhao Yanyuan raise his head: "Your Majesty, this old minister has dedicated his life to his duties, loyal to the emperor and the people, and never exceeded the rules, so that he can get a good reputation when he retires and returns to his hometown. Now, the vicious people have poured dirty water on the old minister, please Your Majesty." Clearly investigate, severely punish the people behind the scenes, and return the old minister's innocence!"

"Zhao Qing shared the worries of the emperor and worked for the people below. It is the blessing of the Great Yan. I am also indignant about the rumors. Listening to Qing's tone, it seems that the rumor spreaders have been caught?"

"Exactly."

"Where is the person? Quickly take him to the Golden Palace, I will interrogate him."

"Commander Shi Yang and farmer Wang Dabang of Xuanwu City entered the palace to have an audience—" Deng Li called out loudly, holding a whisk in his hand.

After a while, several people escorted Wang Dabang into the hall, who was wearing hemp shoes and a rough ragged shirt.Standing above the golden hall are many brocade guards in flying fish suits and spring knives embroidered on their waists, all of them are vicious.

When Wang Dabang saw this battle, he was so frightened that he knelt down tremblingly, and kept shouting: "The emperor spares my life! The emperor spares my life!"

"Are you the one spreading rumors?" Emperor Hongsu looked up and down at the unkempt farmer with soil stains on his trousers, and asked a little puzzled, "Can you read?"

"Emperor... Your Majesty, the grassroots can't read... can't read..." Wang Dabang shook his head again and again, and his palms also shook violently.

"I don't even know how to write, how do you write rumors on the note? The indictment says that you sent the note with false information to teahouses, restaurants and other places."
