Chapter 521 Beixiu Yan was imprisoned
Shen Ruzhou came to the palace and presented his newly made pills and knee pads to the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, this is the medicine and knee pads specially prepared by my daughter based on your illness. In addition to the magnets, the knee pads also contain a few more medicinal materials, which will be beneficial to your recovery from leg disease."
The Supreme Emperor smiled lovingly and asked the palace servants to accept Shen Ruzhou's things.
"This is an old habit of mine, and I'm making things difficult for you."
Shen Ruzhou looked around the Emperor's palace, thinking about finding Lu Huaining.
"Your Majesty, the Waking of Insects is coming. I have made some sachets for you to hang around the palace. They can repel insects and calm the nerves. I am filial to you, so I hope your Majesty will accept them."
"Okay, okay." The Supreme Emperor smiled from ear to ear. "You are a filial child. Come, take down the sachet and hang it up."
The Supreme Emperor ordered the grandma behind him, and Shen Ruzhou waved his hands quickly, "Mammy is too old to climb high, so I'll be the one to do it."
Hearing this, the Supreme Emperor was startled, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll help you then."
"Yes." Shen Ruzhou knelt down to salute and exited the main hall.
The Emperor's palace was not big. It only took Shen Ruzhou more than an hour to walk through several palaces, but he did not find Lu Huaining.
After she hung up the last sachet, she couldn't help but murmur in her heart, if Lu Huaining was not kidnapped by the Supreme Emperor, but by Xiao Chenyan's hand, then Huaining might be in danger of his life.
She walked through the corridor thoughtfully, and when she looked up, she saw the Supreme Emperor standing on the steps, stroking a jade pendant in his hand.
Shen Ruzhou's pupils shrank, that jade pendant... belonged to Huaining.
The Supreme Emperor also saw her, held up the jade pendant and asked, "Do you know her?"
Shen Ruzhou knew that the Supreme Emperor was deliberately showing it to him, so he quickly stepped forward and replied meekly, "I recognize it, this is what Young Master Lu wears personally."
Shen Ruzhou secretly looked at the Supreme Emperor from the corner of his eyes, and asked tentatively, "Sovereign Emperor, why are the things belonging to Young Master Lu here with you?"
The Supreme Emperor looked at her condescendingly, his eyes dark and unclear, "Lu Huaining offended me yesterday. I asked someone to take him to a courtyard outside the palace to teach him a lesson."
Shen Ruzhou was frightened, but she did not dare to lose her composure in front of the Supreme Emperor. She lifted up her dress and knelt down to plead for Lu Huaining, "Your Majesty, Huaining does not know your identity, so he must not have meant to offend. Please consider his youth and ignorance. , spare him this time."
"Am I too kind on weekdays, so you all think I have no temper?"
The Supreme Emperor's cold eyes were fixed on Shen Ruzhou, which made her heart skip a beat. Shen Ruzhou lowered her head again to apologize, "I dare not, my lord."
"Ruzhou, do you know who Lu Huaining is?"
Shen Ruzhou couldn't figure out the Emperor's thoughts and didn't dare to say more. He only said: "He is the apprentice of the Prince Regent."
Hearing this, the Supreme Emperor chuckled twice and said self-deprecatingly: "It seems that you all think that I am old and useless."
"Your Majesty, I have no intention of doing this." Shen Ruzhou suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and had the courage to look into the Emperor's questioning eyes.
The Supreme Emperor did not speak again. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze, looked up at the high eaves of the palace, and sighed, "Please help me bring a message to Beixiu Banquet. If he wants to return his apprentice, let him come in person." Find me."
After hearing this, Shen Ruzhou was basically sure that the Supreme Emperor had discovered Lu Huaining's identity. She hesitated and said, "The Supreme Emperor..."
"Please step back." Before Shen Ruzhou could finish speaking, the Supreme Emperor directly issued an eviction order.
At the same time, in Prince Wucheng's palace, Beixiu Yan felt inexplicably flustered. His hand holding the tea cup slipped, and the white porcelain tea bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces, making a crisp sound.
Xiao Chenyan saw it in his eyes, with a sneer on his lips, "The regent is uneasy, but what happened in the house?"
Beixiu Yan shook the hem of his sleeves, returned to his usual calm appearance, and said to Xiao Chenyan, "Xiao Ruohan was taken away. I am really worried."
Xiao Chenyan was startled, and then asked, "Is the Regent admitting that he secretly hides the remnants of the previous dynasty?"
Bei Xiuyan looked indifferent and asked calmly: "There is no sufficient evidence to prove that Xiao Ruohan is a remnant of the previous dynasty, and His Highness the Crown Prince is rushing to accuse me?"
Xiao Chenyan looked at his calm look and thought a few times. Finally, he sneered and said firmly: "There will be evidence soon."
Sure enough, after a while, a guard came in and reported, "Your Highness, Princess Yu is here."
"Please." Xiao Chenyan ordered with a proud look on his face.
"Yes." The guard responded. When he turned to go out, he caught a glimpse of Beixiu Banquet and paused for an instant.
He pointed at Bei Xiuyan and said to Xiao Chenyan in horror: "Your Highness, he was the one who stole the golden book of the previous princess."
"Are you serious?" Xiao Chenyan suddenly stood up, exuding a fierce aura.
"I don't dare to lie. That day, he and a woman drugged us to death in a guesthouse on the outskirts of Beijing, and took the opportunity to steal the gold book." The guard identified him again, explaining the whole process clearly. .
At this time, Mu Wanqing, who was waiting outside, heard what was said in the room, came in directly, and threw Xiao Ruohan's silver bracelet in front of Bei Xiuyan.
"Prince Regent, Xiao Ruohan has just confessed that she is the princess of the former dynasty. Now we have witnesses who accuse you of stealing the gold book. What else can you say?"
Bei Xiuyan bent down and picked up the silver bracelet, looking at the blood stains on it, his eyes flashed with distress, "Have you tortured Ruohan?"
"Ruohan? What you call is so kind." Xiao Chenyan sneered, "It seems that the regent really likes her and is willing to ignore the national law for her."
After Xiao Chenyan finished speaking, he slammed the table and said, "Come here, take down the Beixiu Banquet."
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of guards rushed into the room with long knives and surrounded Beixiu Banquet.
Upon seeing this, Qin Ming immediately drew his sword and protected Beixiu Yan.
When the situation was tense, Beixiu Yan stood up calmly, straightened his robes, and said, "Qin Ming, stand down."
"Your Majesty." Qin Ming turned around in panic and shouted.
"Back off!" Bei Xiuyan's voice suddenly sterned. Qin Ming had no choice but to put away his sword and retreat to one side.
Bei Xiuyan looked at Xiao Chenyan with his dark eyes and said, "Since His Highness the Crown Prince feels that I have disobedient intentions, in order to prove my innocence, I am willing to accept the interrogation."
As he said that, he stretched out his hands towards Xiao Chenyan, indicating that he could bind him.
Xiao Chenyan was startled for a moment, then waved his hand, and two guards immediately came up and tied up Beixiu Yan with ropes.
"Take him to the prison to await trial." Xiao Chenyan spat out these words, and then watched coldly as the guards escorted Bei Xiuyan out of the house.
After everyone left, Mu Wanqing walked to Xiao Chenyan with a smile, knelt down and saluted, "Congratulations, Your Highness, except for this powerful enemy."
Xiao Chenyan personally leaned over and helped her up, "Wanqing, thanks to your help this time."
Mu Wanqing smiled and leaned into Xiao Chenyan's arms, and said softly, "It is Wanqing's honor to share your worries with His Highness."
