Late night
General Guan suddenly knocked on the door of Qingsi Palace. The young eunuch went to report it, and then he ordered it to be opened.

"Princess, Your Majesty has summoned you."

Hanzhi subconsciously pulled Yiman's arm, "His Majesty still summons me late at night?"

I don't know when behind me, the palace attendants of Qingsi Palace got up, and some of them were still disheveled and hiding behind the trees to observe the situation.

It was late at night and the princess went out alone. She didn't know if she was summoned by His Majesty or what would happen.

General Guan's brows were furrowed, and he looked like a military general. "Your Majesty has only summoned the eldest princess. Please retreat immediately."

It is better to have variables than to be locked up all the time.

Yiman patted Hanzhi's hand and was about to walk out of the palace gate when he saw that in addition to the Yulin guards forming a circle outside the palace gate, there were also many jackals, tigers and leopards staring at him in the dark.

Yiman turned around suddenly, pulled out a dagger from his boot, and handed it to Hanzhi.

"Princess—"

General Guan and other Yulin troops thought that the eldest princess was going to cause trouble again, so they quickly stepped forward to be on guard.

Manman took a deep breath and looked at the people in Qingsi Palace who couldn't see everything in the middle of the night.

"Tonight I will go to my father to redress my grievance. If anyone in the Qingsi Palace is in danger when I am not around, everyone can take up arms and fight to the death. I will bear the responsibility for killing those who want to harm you. .Being taken away, injured, and killed. As long as I live, I will support your family and avenge you, the Yi and other tribes."

The calm and powerful voice is particularly clear and powerful in the silent night, and it is inspiring.

The eyes of everyone in the Qingsi Palace suddenly brightened, and they slowly gathered at the entrance of the palace gate. Each one of them was like an inspired soldier, rising in momentum and united as one.

The surrounding Yulin army seemed to see the soldiers on the battlefield and the same kind, and their hearts were severely touched.

General Guan stared at the eldest princess with an incomprehensible expression, and then looked at the palace servant who was in high spirits, picking up stones and branches from the ground, and clenched his shoulder knife.

After this incident, Qingsi Palace became different from other people in the palace.

Hanzhi and Ji Lan's eyes turned red and they immediately said yes.

Along the way, General Guan couldn't help but say, "Why should the eldest princess be so nervous? With the Yulin Army, Qingsi Palace will not be in danger."

Yiman looked at General Guan mockingly, "Don't tell me that you didn't see the palace people watching outside Qingsi Palace. If General Guan's words were true, no Yulin army would take the opportunity to insult me, Qingsi." Since you are a member of the palace, the general should go back and discipline your subordinates."

General Guan is a man of integrity, loyalty, courage, and conscientiousness.The more you stimulate him, the more he will do his duty.

With the Yu Lin Army outside and Han Zhi Ji Lan leading the army inside, no one would dare to think clearly about the people in Si Palace.

Yanying Hall

The emperor was busy with government affairs and was still reviewing memorials at this moment.

"My son sees my father."

In late spring, the ground was still bitingly cold. After kneeling for a quarter of an hour, the emperor raised his eyelids and said, "Get up."

Yiman lowered his eyelids, thanked him, gritted his teeth and stood up straight.

"I heard that you asked the palace officials to empty the imperial dining room?"

"Yes."

"I never knew you would use a knife?"

Yiman looked calm and raised his eyes to look at the emperor, "It's not important." The emperor slammed the table, shocking the memorial three times, "Then what is important? A princess dares to use a knife, she is so bold, she doesn't know what to say. .”

Yiman smiled slightly, "Taizu's Princess Wanqing once gathered three thousand righteous soldiers, captured three cities in half a year, gathered tens of thousands of rebels, and made unparalleled contributions to the establishment of our dynasty. From this, it can be seen that the princess used the sword. good omen."

His tone was like a joke, and he didn't seem to care about the oppression caused by the emperor's anger. Instead, he was calm and relaxed.

The emperor stared at her solemnly for a while. Except for seeing a bit of temper when she first entered the palace, this daughter had always behaved docilely.

When did he become so introverted, and his expression remained unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai? It was so hard for people to see through it.

For the first time, the emperor felt a sense of danger in his bones, and unconsciously leaned back on the chair.

"Don't mess around. Dali Temple has found evidence of you and Marquis Taiyun. Tell the truth, do you and Marquis Taiyun have an affair?"

What is the difference between this and deceiving children into testifying? Yiman's eyes flashed with ridicule and he lowered his eyes.

"My son has never had any contact with Marquis Taiyun beyond that of a monarch. There is no personal relationship. My son has a clear conscience and asks the clan and Dali Temple to investigate together to prove his innocence."

"It's ridiculous. This matter is a scandal. If we conduct a public investigation, wouldn't we lose the face of Daling? Besides, Shatuo Kingdom is still in the capital. Are you trying to let other countries know that I, Princess Daling, have no shame?"

There was no one around at night, so the emperor blurted out.

What is a scandal?

Is self-proven innocence a scandal?
If Daling doesn't even have this confidence, what kind of face does he need?
But Fanbang is a small country, when did Daling need to worry about Fanbang's feelings?
As soon as the emperor's words came out, Yi Man knew that what the emperor cared about was not Marquis Taiyun, nor her innocence.It's about face, face in front of people in the world and other countries.

"I wonder why my father asked my son to come here late at night, not for the truth?"

The emperor calmed down. Looking at his calm face, he felt some uncontrollable irritability.

"Come here, bring the evidence presented by the young minister of Dali Temple."

Bai Hong, the commander of Su Wei, and two guards brought up the evidence and placed it in front of Yiman.

"This is the confession of Feng Chuyuan's royal horse, bribe money. Do you dare to say that you did not take the old lady of the Fang family away?"

Yiman lowered his eyes and said, "It was the old lady of the Fang family who begged Er Chen to take her away. This does not prove that there is a relationship between Er Chen and Marquis Taiyun."

"Still quibbling."

A porcelain pen holder was thrown at Yiman with anger, and it flew to the ground, as if urging Yiman to confess.

"Then what do you think of the private meeting with Marquis Taiyun in the Yang Mansion?"

Yiman hesitated in his heart whether to tell Zhou Yu, and what would be the consequences if he told Zhou Yu.

"No more to say?"

Yiman's eyes were full of doubts, "I am thinking that others may have reasons to force my son to death. Why does my father want me to confess so much?"

"Bastard, why do I have to force you to death?"

Yiman lowered his eyes, and suddenly his eyes lit up, looking at Feng Chuyuan's horse's confession.

If the person driving the carriage that day told all the truth, then he would not only have seen her and Mrs. Fang.She should have also seen and heard her conversations with the Xie family's young masters and her visit to the restaurant, where she stayed for a long time before going to the eldest princess's mansion.

Could it be that the emperor suspected that she had some collusion with the Xie family or was plotting something?
There was silence in the palace for a long time, and the emperor sighed, "I can't bear to say that the daughter of Princess Beiling will not have hairpins until next year. But there is nothing we can do about Shatuo Kingdom coming to propose marriage, so you can go on her behalf. You are the legitimate princess, go She is the most noble queen, and Shatuo Kingdom will not dare to neglect her."
