For some reason, rumors spread in the marketplace, and the royal family's prestige was greatly threatened.
The basic content of the speech was that the people of the royal family were really unlucky. They couldn't protect their wives and families. The children sang this nursery rhyme everywhere.
This matter finally reached the Emperor's ears. The Emperor immediately summoned his two legendary sons in anger.
On the way to the Imperial Palace, the Seventh Prince met the Fifth Prince. Both of them had a hint of contempt in their eyes.
"Seventh Brother, Fifth Brother trusted you so much, but now, Fifth Brother has lost all face. Imperial Father is waiting to punish him! Seventh Brother, oh Seventh Brother, you've really given Fifth Brother a difficult problem!”The Fifth Prince pretended to have a headache as he looked at Yan Yun. Yan Yun looked at him with contempt.
"Fifth Brother still remembers that he has a wife? This really surprised his younger brother! I always thought that Qingqing was just Yang Ruo's sister. I didn't remember that she was Yang Ruo's fifth sister-in-law!”The Fifth Prince immediately looked at him with anger.
"Seventh Brother, what do you mean? Back then, it was Sister-in-law who had requested for Qingqing to stay there temporarily. Now that such a thing had happened, shouldn't Seventh Brother reflect on it?”The Fifth Prince continued to speak aggressively, and Yan Yun continued to speak without showing any weakness.
"Fifth brother, they have been missing for three days and Imperial Father has summoned them. Fifth Brother had long known that they had gone missing, but now he was blaming his younger brother. It could not help but make people suspect Fifth Brother's motives.”
"Seventh Brother, what kind of motive could Fifth Brother have?”Yan Zhong knew that they had disappeared long ago, but he didn't care. How could he admit it now? Even he felt a little guilty!
"Fifth Brother only knows about this? Wasn't he being too disloyal to his wife?”
"..." Yan Zhong didn't know what to say. He looked at Yan Yun with killing intent in his eyes.
"What are you two Princes standing there for? The Emperor was still waiting for the two princes in the main hall.”Eunuch Liu, who had just arrived, looked at the two princes, who were in a somewhat stiff situation, and said.
"Thank you, Eunuch Liu. Please lead the way.”Yan Yun glanced at Yan Zhong. Then, he said to the eunuch who came over.
"Princes, please."
Yan Yun made a gesture to indicate that he wanted to give way to Yan Zhong. Yan Zhong did not say anything and only walked down the steps step by step.
This awkward situation was finally broken, but everyone went with their own thoughts.
……
In the main hall, the Emperor stood with his hands behind his back. At this moment, no one in the main hall spoke because accompanying the Emperor was like accompanying a tiger. At this moment, the Emperor's anger was like facing an erupting volcano.
"Your son greets Imperial Father."
"..." Yan Yun and Yan Zhong knelt down and saluted the Emperor. Everyone looked at the two princes who caused trouble and remained silent.
"Idiots, a bunch of useless fellows!”The anger that the Emperor had suppressed for a long time finally erupted.
"Imperial Father, please calm down."
"Emperor, please calm down.”
Everyone knelt down and greeted each other.
"The two of you, if you can't give me a reason, you'll keep kneeling!”
"Imperial Father, your son is already investigating. In a few days, Yang Ruo and Qingqing will find out where they are.”Yan Yun reported.
"Investigate? How much longer do we have to investigate? Are we waiting for the world to laugh at our Yan family?”The Emperor seemed to have calmed down.
"Father, your son doesn't know." Yan Yun couldn't give the exact time the Emperor wanted because he knew that Yang Ruo and Qing Qing were in Li Village. Moe had told him this after he returned. He had planned to go alone and talk to Li Mu Feng face to face. However, that night, his master came. His master told him to wait but didn't tell him the reason. He would not go against his master's wishes because he believed that his master had his own plans. Although he was worried about her every night, he had promised his master. Therefore, he was waiting.
"Haha." The Emperor looked at everyone and laughed. That laughter was so thorny.
Everyone was silent.
"Fifth Brother, aren't you going to say something?”The Emperor looked at Yan Zhong with a strange expression.
"Imperial Father, your son knows his sins and has nothing to say.”He knew that he had nothing to say and could only beg for forgiveness.
"Alright, you have nothing to say. Alright, go to the Imperial Mausoleum and guard it. When you know what to say, come back!”The Emperor's anger was like a hidden danger. Everywhere.
"Your Majesty, isn't this inappropriate?" The one who spoke was the Prime Minister, Wei Ye.
"Prime Minister, our royal family will give you an explanation. We know that our royal family owes you this. The Prime Minister did not need to plead for that unfilial son.”The Emperor looked at the Prime Minister apologetically.
"Yes, I will obey." The prime minister retreated.
"All of you can leave. I'm tired." The Emperor felt a little helpless. He felt helpless that he had failed so badly.
"Yes, we will take our leave."
Everyone prepared to leave.
"Old Fifth, go to the Imperial Mausoleum and guard it. Wait until you've thought things through before coming back. Retreat." The Emperor strode away. She didn't want to hear someone protecting her son. She didn't want everyone to see the vicissitudes of life in her eyes because she was the emperor. Only he understood the helplessness of an emperor.
At this moment, there were only two princes left in the hall. And the palace people. It was so quiet. They looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts!
