"Your Majesty is here."
After hearing the report from the palace, Queen Xie led everyone to greet him.
Princess Huayang ran at the front, smiled sweetly at Emperor Liang and asked, "Father, why are you here?"
Emperor Liang looked at her with loving eyes and said with a smile: "After I'm done with my political affairs, I'm here to appreciate the autumn chrysanthemums."
Hua Yang circled Emperor Liang's arm affectionately and said, "My mother specially asked the people in the flower house to cultivate these. They will definitely be good."
"You, you are a big girl, why are you still so clinging to your father?" Queen Xie said blaming words, but she had a smile on her face.
Hua Yang snorted slyly.
Empress Xie smiled and teased: "You are obviously about the same age as Miss Qing, why are your temperaments so different?"
When Emperor Liang heard this, he looked slightly sideways and asked, "I heard that Ling Yi is here too?"
"yes."
Emperor Liang was pleased and said, "Maybe I haven't seen Lingyi for a long time. Let her come over and let me take a good look."
Queen Xie responded and turned to look west, "Where is Miss Qing?"
In the huge Hanguang Hall, Qing Lingyi was not seen.
"This is strange." Queen Xie said to herself.
The palace attendant took over, "Madam, I don't know where Your Highness has gone."
Queen Xie suddenly showed surprise.
Emperor Liang noticed the clues and asked, "What's going on?"
Queen Xie no longer smiled and became a little worried: "Just now, the emperor and Ling Yi were enjoying the autumn chrysanthemums and entered the Hanguang Hall. I didn't notice for a moment and didn't know where they went."
Emperor Liang couldn't help but feel dismayed, and his tone became more serious, "How could he disappear without a trace?!"
Hua Yang noticed the anger and unconsciously let go of his arm.
Queen Xie advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I think the two of them are also in Hanguang Palace and will not go anywhere else. The palace is heavily guarded, and there will be no danger."
At this moment, a palace maid rushed over eagerly, looking panicked.
"Empress..."
Queen Xie looked over, "What's the matter?"
The palace maid wanted to speak but stopped.
Emperor Liang ordered in a deep voice, "Just say it!"
Afraid of the pressure, the palace maid knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "In the... east side hall. Miss Qing and the second prince are there... they... they..."
"What are they doing there?" Queen Xie asked.
"I don't know, slave," the palace maid leaned down lower, "it's just...it's just that the curtain on the bed has been put down."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the palace.
Queen Xie was shocked.
Huayang's delicate body shook violently. Isn't this plot what she likes to write in her story books? It was really thunderous and heavenly reincarnation would happen to her royal brother...
"Queen, do you realize your mistake?"
Emperor Liang scolded him coldly.
The emperor was furious, and Queen Xie knelt down in response.
Hua Yang was still shocked that Qing Lingyi slept with her imperial brother. Could it be that she would have to call Qing Lingyi the emperor's wife from now on? No, this is really terrible!
The nanny beside her pulled her hard in time and pushed her down.
Hanguang Hall was suddenly filled with people kneeling on their knees.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know how this incident could have happened..." Queen Xie defended with tears.
Emperor Liang scolded: "Never mind anything else. You invited Ling Yi into the palace. If something happens to her here, you will be blamed!"
“Your Majesty!”
Kuang Jinxue came quickly.
Emperor Liang suppressed his anger and looked back: "What's the matter?"
Kuang Jinxue replied: "General Cheng broke in."
The word "Chuang" made Emperor Liang frown a little.
Queen Xie lowered her head and thought in tears. This is a planned variable. But that’s fine too. After all, they want Qing Lingyi to reconcile with Cheng Yang. If Cheng Yang saw that scene with his own eyes, things would be much easier to handle.
"General Cheng, you can't come in!"
"This is the queen's bedroom. You are a foreign minister, how can you rush in!"
“……”
Outside the palace gate, there were voices of resistance and persuasion.
But Cheng Yang can stop a million troops by himself, how can a few palace men stop him?
Emperor Liang said to the pursuers: "Everyone, retreat."
"yes."
Cheng Yang entered the palace and glanced to the west, he knew something was wrong.
"Cheng Aiqing..."
"Your Majesty," Cheng Yang entered with a single sword, "Lingyi went to the palace to admire the chrysanthemums at the invitation of the empress. She has not returned for a long time. I wonder where she is now?"
Emperor Liang frowned and said, "About this matter, please calm down first."
Queen Xie raised her head with tears in her eyes: "General Cheng, I am all at fault for this. If you want to blame me, just blame me. My prince is innocent, and Ling Yi is even more innocent."
All the words have been said, but no one can hear what is going on.
Cheng Yang's eyes were like cold knives, and he wished he could carve out this vicious woman.
His patience was about to be exhausted in this moment. Cheng Yang almost squeezed out the words through his teeth, "Where is she?"
Queen Xie instinctively felt a chill running down her spine, and subconsciously replied: "...in the East Side Hall."
Cheng Yang and Emperor Liang walked directly to the East Side Hall. The palace servants helped Queen Xie up and followed her.
The door just closed and opened with a push.
The hall is spacious and magnificent, with white smoke slowly rising from the top cover of the gilt curled-eared auspicious animal incense burner. There is a wide agarwood bed, and the hanging tent is embroidered with gold-threaded begonia flowers, reflecting a figure swaying repeatedly from left to right. With that movement, the petals on the hanging curtain also showed a charming color.
Queen Xie wiped away the tears from her eyes and glanced at Cheng Yang quietly.
Viewed from the side, his jawline was tight, his expression was cold and stern, and he had a stern look on his face.
Queen Xie raised her lips proudly. There were many onlookers today, and he saw it with his own eyes.
This must be a reconciliation!
Everyone has arrived.
Disturbed by the sound, the bed stopped moving.
The light and shadow on the hanging curtain alternated between light and dark, and the man turned around.
When Cheng Yang saw the silhouette clearly, he was stunned for a moment.
This person...
Queen Xie didn't notice this subtle change, and said in a tearful voice: "Lingyi, I can't blame you today, it's me..."
Suddenly, a gap was opened in the tent, and the face of a middle-aged man poked out.
Queen Xie was startled.
Emperor Liang was startled.
Everyone was startled.
...No, who are you?
Cheng Yang's anger disappeared instantly and asked: "What are you doing in bed?"
"He's saving someone."
Xu Lian said, lifting up one side of the tent and hanging it on the golden hook.
Xiao Liange was lying on his back on the bed, his eyes closed and he was unconscious.
Queen Xie couldn't help but tighten her eyes, "Your Majesty..."
Emperor Liang looked solemn, "What on earth is going on?"
Xu Lian did his duty and got out of bed, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness suddenly fell unconscious for some unknown reason today. The girl asked me to lay His Highness flat on the bed and compress his chest."
The bed was shaking just now, that was why.
At this point, Cheng Yangji understood what hmm meant.
He sang with Xu Lian and asked, "Since His Highness is unconscious, why didn't you inform the Queen in time?"
Xu Lian replied: "It's very strange that Your Highness is in a coma. Please don't reveal your intentions. Otherwise, the perpetrator will sneak away or destroy the evidence."
Queen Xie's face stiffened and she felt bad.
"Therefore, the girl asked me to put down the tent and close the door so that no one can see it. Only in this way can the evildoer be brought to justice on the spot."
