"Royal brother, what are you laughing at? What's so funny?”Yu Yan looked at Situ Lin and felt a little strange. She really did not know what he was laughing about. Why was he so happy?
"Zhen is happy. I didn't expect that after our Princess Zi Xuan woke up, she had indeed grown up. She actually took the initiative to come to the Funing Palace to pay her respects to mother.”Situ Lin looked at the empress dowager.
The empress dowager did not speak. She maintained a gentle smile on her face, and her eyes revealed endless love.
"Your son (ChenQie) pays his respects to mother!”Situ Lin and the Empress bowed to the Empress Dowager.
"Get up and sit." The empress dowager raised her hand slightly and ordered them.
"Thank you, mother." Situ Lin and the empress sat down one after another.
Ever since Situ Lin and Nangong Yan sat down, Yu Yan did not look at anyone else. Instead, she looked at the Empress.
The Empress and Situ Lin were about the same age. She was wearing a phoenix crown and a cape. Her hair was tied up in a high bun, and her black hair was full of pearls and jade. She had peach cheeks and starry eyes, a delicate mouth and a delicate nose, and icy skin. She was so beautiful that she did not look like an ordinary person. Under the brilliance of the pearls and jade around her, she was even more beautiful that people did not dare to look at her. She was graceful and noble, and indeed had the demeanor of a mother.
The Empress saw that Zi Xuan had been staring at her and never moved her eyes away. She couldn't help but feel a little strange. If it was in the past, Zi Xuan would have long chatted with her.
But today, Zi Xuan was surprisingly quiet. Not only was she staring at her, but she didn't even move. She was so engrossed, as if she was thinking about something.
"Yuyan, what are you looking at?" the Empress reminded Yu Yan.
"Oh, no, I didn't see anything." Yu Yan quickly came back to her senses and smiled at the Empress. Then, she looked away.
When she met the Empress by chance in the Funing Palace, Yu Yan couldn't help but think of the Great General, Nangong Rui, because he was the younger brother of the Empress.
At the thought of this, Yu Yan immediately perked up. At this moment, Nangong Rui was still locked up in the Heaven Prison and had not been released by Situ Lin. He had already been in there for so many days. It was time to release him.
It seemed that he could only put in a good word for Nangong Rui in front of the Empress Dowager and get Situ Lin to release Nangong Rui from the imperial prison as soon as possible. He could also see for himself how handsome and charming this Great General of the Tianqi Kingdom was.
Presumably, under such circumstances, the Empress was more anxious than anyone else. She hoped that the Emperor and Empress Dowager would show mercy and release Nangong Rui from the imperial prison as soon as possible after their anger subsided. This was to prevent the Prime Minister and Madam from worrying about this every day.
Although the Empress had pleaded for Nangong Rui in front of the Emperor a few days ago, Situ Lin's anger had not subsided at that time. When Nangong Rui was mentioned, Situ Lin was still very angry and even wanted to vent his anger on the Empress.
In order not to anger Situ Lin and prevent things from getting worse, the Empress had no choice but to drop the matter and never mention it in front of Situ Lin again. Now, she could only wait for the Emperor and Empress Dowager's anger to subside.
"Mother, your son heard that a few days ago, General Nangong publicly disobeyed the imperial edict in court and angered Imperial Brother. Imperial Brother locked General Nangong in the imperial prison in a fit of anger.”Yu Yan first glanced at Nan Gongyan, then turned to look at the empress dowager sitting beside her and asked tentatively.
Seeing Yuyan suddenly mention Nangong Rui in front of them, the smile on the empress dowager's face disappeared. Even Situ Lin and the empress, who were sitting at the side, could not help but turn their gazes to her.
Situ Lin's heart was filled with doubts. He did not know why Yuyan would suddenly mention Nangong Rui at this time in the Empress Dowager's Funing Palace. Did she remember what had happened in the past?
At this moment, the most excited person was probably the Empress. She really didn't expect that Zi Xuan would mention Nangong Rui in front of her and the Emperor. She could hear that Zi Xuan wanted to plead on behalf of Nangong Rui.
Seeing Yuyan suddenly mention Nangong Rui, the Empress Dowager thought that Yuyan had remembered what had happened in the past. She could not help but grab Yuyan's hand and asked excitedly,""Xuan 'er, why did you suddenly think of asking Imperial Mother about this? Did you remember what happened in the past?”
"No, mother. Your son has indeed forgotten everything that happened in the past. I can't remember anything. It's just that two days ago, your son heard about this General Nangong from the palace maids and learned that he was the royal sister-in-law's younger brother. I also roughly understood some of his situation, so your son wanted to plead for him in front of you. After being locked up for so many days, it's time to release him from prison.”Yuyan had pleaded for Nangong Rui in front of the Empress Dowager. She did not know what the Empress Dowager was thinking and whether she was still angry at Nangong Rui.
"Are you pleading for him?" The empress dowager's expression immediately became serious.
"General Nangong has already been punished. He has been locked up in prison for a few days. I believe that the anger in your and Imperial Brother's hearts should have dissipated. He only feels that our Imperial Family's face has been damaged, but this matter is not entirely his fault. He was also forced to go against the imperial edict in the court at all costs for the sake of his beloved. He did not mean to anger Imperial Brother. In fact, this is not something that ordinary people can do. Your son admires his courage, so... Your son wants to plead for him in front of mother, hoping that mother will not be angry anymore, and also to prevent the empress and the prime minister from worrying about this.”Yu Yan explained.
"He openly disobeyed aijia's decree in court. If aijia releases him from prison so quickly, what would the world think? Where would our imperial family's face be?”When the empress dowager mentioned this matter, she was still very angry and her tone was very firm.
