The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 136: Confrontation at the Gate

Because it was still cold in spring this year, the Spring Examination was postponed again and again.

So finally waited until the day of the Spring Examination.

Emperor Liang De was also leaving the palace incognito with his men.

Concubine Wan also dressed as a man and accompanied him.

Due to the customs of the Liang Dynasty, it was not uncommon for women to dress like this.

After Concubine Wan changed into men's clothes, she looked at herself in the mirror and was absent-minded for a while.

Mumbling to the nanny beside her: "Before the birth of the King of Wei, I also followed your Majesty like this. Many years have passed in a flash."

"But your majesty is still graceful."

Concubine Wan sighed: "People will get older little by little when they live. It's better to die in the most beautiful years."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Only when people live can they get more. Otherwise, it should be His Royal Highness the King of Wei who is fighting outside today."

Concubine Wan was shocked: "Madam, what you said is right."

She quickly came to Emperor Liang De.

Emperor Liang De stared at her for a moment and smiled, "It seems like we were walking together at the Lantern Festival a few years ago."

When Concubine Wan heard this, she looked shy and felt more at ease.

No matter what the result was today, it would not affect her at all.

The two of them then took a carriage together and headed towards the manor on the outskirts of the city.

At the same time, someone came to the government office and asked the prefect to leave with a token in hand.

The prefect knew what had happened and was so angry that he turned his head and cursed: "How dare you make such a big decision on your own?"

Only the subordinates wanted to please the King of Wei.

The prefect was trying to please the king!

He knew very well that he was a Beijing official and he could not please any prince. Otherwise, in the eyes of the emperor, it would be considered as a conspiracy.

But it was too late to be angry now.

The prefect was asked to leave the door. Including the yamen runners who were responsible for the arrest at that time, and the servants of the manor who were taken away, none of them were missing, and they all followed.

"I knew that the master would come to rescue us!"

"Have we accomplished our mission?"

"Hehehe..."

These servants were not afraid at all, but rather excited.

The yamen runners who were guarding them were different. Their faces turned pale and gray. They turned back and glared several times, but they did not dare to say anything harsh.

I didn't expect that after being on guard for a long time, I still fell into a trap!

With different thoughts, everyone finally arrived at the manor together.

Emperor Liang De asked: "Has the concubine of King Xuan arrived? Why didn't anyone come out to greet her?"

The person outside said awkwardly: "No, I don't know. She must be on the way?"

Liu Yuerong had already arrived. She was waiting on the side and frowned when she heard the voice.

At this time, Xue Qingyin was still sleeping in?

Emperor Liang De was not angry. He looked up and saw that the only two or three people left in the manor were looking out.

They looked at Emperor Liang De and his party curiously, and could not recognize their identities at all.

Finally, someone came out cautiously and asked, "Are you going to arrest more people?"

At this time, someone had already rushed back to inform Mrs. Xue.

"Madam! There are so many people outside again..."

Mrs. Xue put down the teacup in her hand heavily: "From the Liu family farm? What are they doing this time?"

"No, I don't know. Anyway, there are more people than last time, and the momentum is very large." The servant who answered was shocked, probably frightened by such a scene.

Mrs. Xue hesitated.

Now there is no one in the farm... Although her daughter repeatedly told her to relax, she still said in a deep voice: "Let's go, everyone else, follow me out."

"Yes!"

"Bring some more sticks and weapons." Mrs. Xue said again.

At this time, Ning Que hurried over after hearing the sound.

He had stayed in the farm for the past few days, and he was quick to rush over now.

"Madam, don't worry, put down the sticks, just go out and see the situation first." Ning Que advised.

Madam Xue shook her head and said, "If we don't have something handy, we will be at a disadvantage when we fight. We are outnumbered..."

Ning Que was sure that the other party would never be from Liu's manor.

If we take advantage of the situation and bring more people to fight, aren't we afraid of making an irreparable mistake?

Although it is the suburbs, it is still under the feet of the emperor!

Ning Que said again, "I have sent someone to the door first, Madam, don't worry."

"Your Taoist boy?" Madam Xue blurted out.

Madam Xue thought, what's the use of this?

Ning Que said, "I shouldn't have hidden it from you, Madam. In fact, I am a local official who returned to Beijing to report on my work..."

Madam Xue looked at him in surprise: "Taoists can also be officials? Wouldn't that mean they would receive two salaries every month?"

The maid next to him thought that the problem didn't seem to be here, Madam!

But before they could say more, another servant came running and said, "Madam, Mr. Ning's long-serving servant has also been arrested!"

Ning Que's face changed slightly.

It shouldn't be.

His long-serving servant was very daring!

Was the other party really so bold?

At the door at this time.

As soon as Ning Que's long-serving servant came out, Zhang Mao from Liu's manor excitedly shouted: "It's him! It's him!"

Emperor Liang De asked: "Is it him who tried to bribe the government office?"

Zhang Mao said loudly: "Yes! It's him!"

Ning Que's long-serving servant was confused, and before he could speak, he was held down.

Emperor Liang De said: "Bring him forward."

And the prefect at this time...his mother tongue was speechless.

Others couldn't recognize Chang Sui's identity, but he could.

The prefect said repeatedly: "Wrong, wrong. This person... I know this person. Anyone can bribe the government, but he cannot."

This is the person next to Ning Gong.

Who is Ning Gong?

From the Xu family!

And now it's Liujia Zhuangzi, Princess Wei's natal Zhuangzi, who is having a dispute.

Going around in circles, isn’t this hitting my own family on the head?

When Emperor Liang De saw this, he actually vaguely knew that there must be something wrong.

But now that we have come to this point, someone must be slapped hard. Otherwise, you will never be able to remember it in the future.

Emperor Liang De said calmly: "What? You dare to show favoritism in front of the emperor?"

Liu Yuerong was delighted when she heard this. Concubine Wan is right. Your Majesty seems to be protecting Xue Qingyin, but in reality he is impartial, selfless, and ruthless.

But the magistrate was so frightened that his knees weakened and he knelt down and said: "I don't dare, I, I, I..."

The prefect didn't know how to defend himself.

It won't work to shake Ning Gong out directly...

Even though he was dissatisfied in every possible way.

"My lord..." The prefect looked in Liu Yuerong's direction. He knew that it was Princess Wei.

However, Princess Wei didn't look at him at all.

The prefect gave up.

I thought to myself, I tried my best anyway.

Emperor Liang De was heard asking the Chang Sui: "Whose surname is it? What is your status in the Xue family?"

The guard on the side shouted coldly: "Your Majesty, please don't lie."

Only then did the others realize that the person who came was actually the current Holy Emperor. Their eyes widened immediately and they knelt down quickly.

Zhang Mao also sighed in his heart, Princess Wei is indeed capable, and this complaint has been reported to the emperor!

Then Xuejiazhuangzi can still be alive today?

Zhang Mao kowtowed timidly, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

But then he realized...why was that long follower still looking so calm?

The commander of the carriage knelt down helplessly and knelt before him, saying: "Little man Qiu Huan, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty. I am not a member of the Xue family... I am..."

Before the man named "Qiu Huan" finished speaking, several people strode out of the door of Zhuangzi.

One of them walked quickly, and before he could get close, he said loudly: "I, Ning Que, would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Rather?

Liu Yuerong vaguely heard his name.

Why is he here?

Without waiting for everyone to react.

I heard him follow closely and say again: "This Qiu Huan is my servant who has been with me for many years."
