As soon as Yao Xi came out of the study, he bumped into Emperor Ming Cheng.

"Slave... No, this servant has seen the emperor." Yao Xi bent down and bowed to the emperor, and unconsciously moved his feet back to the base of the wall with small steps.Things in Princess Zhen's palace are so big that everyone will soon know that she is a woman, and she has to get used to showing herself as a woman.

Emperor Ming Cheng stopped, looked at Yao Xi for a while, frowned and said: "Since she is a girl, why did she enter the palace and become a eunuch?"

The incident of the fake eunuch hurt him too much. Unrooted men can sneak into the palace, and women like Yao Xi can sneak into the palace.For the sake of Wan Yu's sake, even if he wouldn't blame Yao Xi for this matter, at least he had to find out how Yao Xi got into the palace.If there are dereliction of duty or even deception in the yamen, those who should be beheaded will be beheaded, and those who should be punished will be punished, and they must not be tolerated!

"Back to the emperor, the servants were drugged and abducted into the palace." Yao Xi said truthfully with his head down.It's a long story about her entering the palace, but since the emperor asked about it, he had to show that he was an innocent victim first.

Emperor Ming Cheng was a little puzzled.Why can't a pretty girl like Yao Xi not get a good price?How much money can you earn by selling into the palace as a eunuch?He instinctively felt that this matter was not simple, and wanted to ask again, when suddenly Wan Yu coughed dryly from the study.

"Okay, you go out first!" Emperor Ming Cheng waved at Yao Xi helplessly, his tone much softer.He understood what Wan Yu meant, but he was afraid that he would frighten Yao Xi.

"Your servant will leave." Yao Xiru hurriedly ran out of the hall after being pardoned.

The palace maid guarding outside the palace looked at her dressed as a woman with weird eyes, Yao Xi had no time to explain, she smiled embarrassingly and turned to the guard room.The door of the guard room was ajar, Yao Xi turned slightly and walked in.

There was a strong smell of blood in the room. Meng Li'an lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his face was bloodless, and his lips were a little purple.

The palace maid Ping'er was cleaning the blood on the ground with a rag, and when she saw someone walking in, she raised her eyes and glanced at the hem of the skirt, to see that the fabric was made of the clothes of the masters.She knelt down and saluted and said: "I have seen it..." When Ping'er raised her head to see who the master was, she suddenly found that the person in front of her looked a little like Yao Xi?

"Sister Ping'er. It's me." Yao Xi blushed with embarrassment.

"Eunuch Yao?" Ping'er recognized Yao Xi's voice.She was a little confused, Eunuch Yao dressed up like this, what kind of flirting with the Empress Dowager?Or some little hobby of your own?Obviously the latter is more likely, the eunuchs are prone to perverts!Ping'er looked at Yao Xi with a hint of disgust.

Yao Xi pointed to Meng Lian on the bed, and asked softly, "Is he alright?"

"The imperial doctor has seen it, and said that fortunately, the child is in good health, and he is fine after bleeding so much." Ping'er threw the rag into the bucket and said.

Yao Xi nodded reassuringly.She looked at the skinny Meng Li'an lying on the bed again, and she really couldn't tell that she was in good health!

Afraid of disturbing Meng Li'an, Yao Xi didn't stay in the house for a long time and went out to Princess Longyi's side.Sooner or later, she will have to face the matter of the Yao family, perhaps all of this is fate, the Yao family lost Yao Xian but found her, she lost her parents but met the Yao family again.

When the maids of Longyi Palace went in to deliver a message to Yao Shuanglan, they didn't know whether to address Yao Xi as Father Yao or Miss Yao, so they said: "Jieyu, Yao Xi is here."

Yao Shuanglan, who was busy sitting in front of the embroidery frame, hurriedly dropped her needlework and went out to meet her.As soon as she arrived at the front eaves of the hall, she saw Yao Xi standing in the courtyard dressed as a woman. Yao Xi also looked at her with timid eyes.

"Come in and talk." Yao Shuanglan stepped down the stone steps, went over and took Yao Xi's hand affectionately.

Yao Xi lowered her head in shame, allowing Yao Shuanglan to lead her into the house.

After sitting down on the chair beside the tea table, Yao Xi looked around the room and said awkwardly: "Is Her Royal Highness not here?" She didn't know how to bring up the matter of her life experience, so she could only talk about him.

"Did the empress dowager tell you anything?" Yao Shuanglan suddenly wasn't sure whether Yao Xi came to find her or Longyi, and whether the empress dowager told Yao Xi that she was the daughter of the Yao family.

Yao Xi tugged at his sleeves and nodded.

Yao Shuanglan smiled with tears in her eyes.Obviously there are thousands of words to say to my sister, but suddenly I don't know what to say.Her gaze was always on Yao Xi, seeing Yao Xi bowing his head cautiously and not daring to look at her just playing with the embroidery on his cuffs, she suddenly felt bitter.

The two were silent for a long time, Yao Xi suddenly mustered up the courage to look up at Yao Shuanglan, and called "Sister" in a low voice.

"Hey!" Yao Shuanglan burst into tears after holding back for a long time. "The empress dowager said that you don't remember anything about your childhood?"

Yao Xi took out his handkerchief and went over to wipe away Yao Shuanglan's tears, saying, "It's okay, just tell me, sister."

"it is good."

Seeing Emperor Ming Cheng enter the study, Wan Yu glanced at him and said, "Is Meng Delai locked up?"

"Yes. But why did the Empress Dowager ask me not to rush him?" Ming Chengdi sat down on the chair opposite Wan Yu.If it hadn't been for Wan Yu's instructions in advance, he would have ordered Cao Yue to end Meng Delai on the spot.

"The Ai family is afraid that the emperor will kill him in a fit of anger." Wan Yu said leisurely, holding up the teacup.

Emperor Ming Cheng's face tightened, and he said with some displeasure: "Could it be that the Empress Dowager thinks that Meng Delai's crime is not worthy of death?"

"Of course you deserve to die." Meng Delai almost killed her family's Xi girl, and death was a shame.Wan Yu took a sip of tea and said, "Wouldn't it be better if he could use his cheap life to restore the innocence of a loyal minister? In the case of the extermination of the Shu family, the emperor also knew that Yao He was wronged, so why bother keeping him here?" Southern Xinjiang?"

"What the Empress Dowager means is that Meng Delai deserves to die anyway, so why not push the case of the Shu family to Meng Delai to clear Yao Hezheng's innocence and kill two birds with one stone?" Emperor Ming Cheng said with some embarrassment. And the real culprit who framed Yao Hezheng! If Meng Delai is to take the blame, the case will never be overturned."

Emperor Ming Cheng was still worried.He ordered Yao's family to go to the southern Xinjiang. It was a covert security in order to punish the crime.

"Didn't your majesty ask Yao Xi just now, why did a girl like her enter the palace and become a eunuch?" Wan Yu put down the teacup and looked up at Emperor Ming Cheng and said, "Because Yao Xi looks very much like a person—Yao Hezheng's son Yao Show."

Wan Yu started with the eunuch Liu Fu finding the Sun family with Yao Xian's portrait.How and why Yao Xi entered the palace, and why Lin Zhaoyi died, all told Emperor Ming Cheng.

"Ai Jia thinks that the person who bought Yao Xi into the palace back then must have such a thought in mind. Let a man who looks like Yao Xian enter the palace under the identity of Yao Xian, and then casually frame someone who has an affair with his concubine. Or would the emperor still protect the Yao family from the Yao family for such a big crime of belittling the princess today? It's a pity that the man was wrong, Yao Xi was not a boy but a girl, and the eunuch Liu Fu who bought him was fooled. "

Emperor Ming Cheng was puzzled and said: "Why didn't you just let Yao Xian enter the palace? As long as he enters the palace, Yao Xian would be guilty of a crime and would not dare to say anything."

"It's not easy to find someone with a similar appearance. If that person made such a bad plan, Yao Xian should be dead." Wan Yu continued: "That person didn't attack Yao Hezheng directly, but his only son. That person You can arrange Yao Xi into the palace at will, and you can also promote Liu Fu to the supervisor of ceremonies at will. Who does the emperor think this person is?"

Ming Chengdi remembered Meng Delai's only son, Meng Guangshen, who was imprisoned for corruption and died tragically shortly thereafter. He always hated Yao Hezheng, the informer. 24 Regarding the yamen, apart from Tang Huaili, Meng Delai is the one who can speak the most. "Medley?"

"Has the emperor ever thought about why Meng Delai threatened Feng Zhen to frame Yao Xi?" Wan Yu sneered, "He's going to get caught. Didn't the emperor almost kill Yao Xi? If someone told Yao Xi that he would Yao Xian, the emperor might turn his anger on Yao's family. Meng Delai is right, but it's a pity that Yao Xi is a girl." It's a pity that Yao Xi is her girl, and no one can touch her.

Emperor Ming Cheng leaned back in his chair, sorting out the messages Wan Yu told him in his mind.

"Aijia asked the emperor not to rush to send Meng Delai down, not only because of Yao Hezheng's affairs. Meng Delai has many followers, and there are many of his people in the Middle East Factory and the 24th Yamen. If you want to get rid of him, you have to get rid of him. The emperor ordered people Take Meng Delai back to his private house, and send several imperial doctors to follow him, saying that Meng Delai is seriously ill, and see who will come to visit and give gifts and medicines, even if the involvement is too big and cannot be cured, the emperor has something in his heart Count." Wan Yu earnestly said.

"Hmm." The more Wan Yu thought about him, the more guilty Emperor Ming Cheng felt. "The words I said in Zhen'er's room were really just angry words, don't take it to heart, Queen Mother."

"Then call your mother and listen later." Wan Yu raised her eyebrows and said.

Emperor Ming Cheng opened his mouth and couldn't cry out, so he had to change the subject and said: "Since that girl Yao Xi was abducted into the palace, according to my intention, should she return home as soon as possible to reunite with her relatives?"

"Oh. That's right. You haven't told the Emperor about Yao Xi's life experience, have you?" Wan Yu drank another sip of tea and told Ming Cheng Emperor about Yao Xi's life experience: "Your Majesty, as soon as possible." Let the Yao family go back to Beijing! Shu Yongfang, who testified against Yao Hezheng, must have been eliminated by Meng Delai long ago, and the emperor doesn't have to investigate the case to get to the bottom of it."

"Yao Xi is Yao Xian's twin sister?" Emperor Ming Cheng was too shocked to speak.Yao Xi is Shuanglan's younger sister?Not only did he ruin Shuanglan's life because of a misunderstanding, he almost executed Shuanglan's sister in a fit of anger? ? ?

"The Empress Dowager said that she wants me to reward Yao Xi, right?" Emperor Ming Cheng wanted to make up for it, because he really owed the Yao family too much.

Wan Yu finally had a little smile on her face: "How does the emperor plan to reward the girl?"

Emperor Ming Cheng said very sincerely: "I plan to accept Yao Xi as my righteous sister and confer the title of Princess Jingping. I originally thought that Yao Xi was the empress dowager's male favourite. Seeing that the empress dowager loves her so much, I still feel a bit out of place. Thinking about it carefully, the empress dowager should be Treat that girl like a daughter and dote on her."

Daughter?Wan Yu's face darkened completely.
