Chapter 401 Rumors
After coming down to the court, these people in the Chenwang point naturally stayed in the Chaoyang Palace. The people who calculated the compensation the day before yesterday were all listed except Lu Shangshu, and a few diehard loyalists of the emperor were added.

The emperor said directly in front of several ministers: "This time the negotiation is nominally in charge of King Chen, but the actual person in charge is Gu Xian. All you need to do is to cooperate with him."

King Chen said: "I will obey the order. Brother Huang will try his best to cooperate with Mr. Gu even if he doesn't say anything to me. After all, we have cooperated once, and we will definitely not miss the business of Brother Huang."

Others also agreed one after another. After all, they really don't have much confidence in the huge amount of compensation. If Gu Xian wants to stand out, then give him the opportunity.

While talking in the hall, there was a commotion outside, the emperor frowned in displeasure: "Li Changhai, go and see what's the noise outside?"

Li Changhai took the order to go, and returned to the palace after a short while: "Going back to the emperor, it's the concubine De who wants to see you."

Several ministers in the palace who knew the inside story looked at each other, it was Concubine De who came to intercede for her elder brother.

The emperor said: "King Chen, you take a few adults to discuss the specific matters of the negotiation. Tomorrow's confrontation with Xirong, I will not allow you to weaken my Daxing momentum!"

"The minister obeys the order, and the minister waits to leave."

The ministers filed out of the Chaoyang Palace, so they also saw the Empress Concubine De who was guarding the gate of the palace. They didn't know what she did. She was going to be a grandmother and didn't pay attention to her image at all. The eyes are red and swollen, and there are obvious dark circles under the eyes. Is this a thief last night?

Concubine De finally entered the main hall, she kowtowed as soon as she entered the hall, but the emperor didn't let her get up, but picked up the booklet and began to review it carefully, the hall could hear needles falling quietly.

Concubine De knew that she was a little reckless when she came here today, but what happened to her natal family, her elder brother went to the cell, and her daughter-in-law and niece were put under house arrest, how could she not be in a hurry?
If something really happened to the elder brother, the third son's greatest financial support would be gone. How could he overthrow the prince and ascend to a high position?
Therefore, even though her knees had lost consciousness, Concubine De still knelt on the ground with her back straight, and she even lowered her breathing on purpose, for fear that her movements would affect the emperor's approval.

Until, Li Changhai led the little eunuch into the palace, and one dish after another was put on the table, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to have lunch."

Only then did the emperor raise his head and look at Geng Le, "It's already noon?"

Li Changhai nodded.

In the past, the emperor used to eat meals according to his temperament, when he was done with work, and when to eat. Since Ye Hanyu "reminded" Li Changhai a few words, Li Changhai always ordered the people in the dining room to prepare the dishes on time. At the hour, he asked people to put the dishes on the table. Sure enough, the emperor ate meals on time without any special circumstances. Originally, the emperor had some stomach pains, but he never happened again these days.

The emperor glanced into the hall, "Get up, just in time to have lunch with me."

Concubine De's eyes showed a hint of joy, and the emperor let her accompany her to eat, does it mean that he will not punish the Zhao family?
Emperor: ... No!I just feel that I can't finish these dishes by myself, so let you eat some together, so as not to waste the ingredients again when you return to the palace next time!

"Chen and concubine, thank the emperor."

Concubine De's legs had been kneeling for a long time and she lost consciousness, so it was a bit difficult to get up, so the emperor ordered the maid: "Help Concubine De to get up."

Two dignified maids hurried forward to help Concubine De up, and helped her to sit on the emperor's lower head.

The emperor didn't bother Concubine De any more, took a small bowl of soup and drank a couple of sips to warm his stomach, and then began to eat.

The hall was very quiet, only the slight sound of chewing, Concubine De didn't dare to talk about her natal family at the dinner table, so she could only eat in small bites.

After about a quarter of an hour, the emperor put down the bowls and chopsticks. For some reason, he felt that those royal cooks should be laid off after eating the food from the old six families yesterday.

What he eats is tasteless, unlike Lao Liu's, which is truly delicious, especially those dishes made with chili peppers, which are so delicious that he can fill up an extra bowl of rice.

In the past, when Lao Liu and his wife lived in the palace, they could occasionally send him food back. Since he left the palace, he had never eaten it once. Eat some fresh snacks, otherwise the day is really impossible.

Hey, thinking that he is a majestic son of heaven, he is not as happy as his own son's childhood life, there is really no reason to reason!

The emperor put down his chopsticks, Concubine De didn't dare to eat any more and hurriedly put down her chopsticks, of course she couldn't eat anymore, she wanted to seize the time to intercede with her elder brother and daughter-in-law.

However, the emperor didn't give Concubine De a chance to speak, "After the meal, you can go back.

Ask the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine. "

Concubine De: ... As expected, the emperor still cares about me.

The emperor: "Your eyes are swollen like red peaches that have been left for a long time. It's really not good-looking."

Li Changhai almost couldn't help laughing out loud, wouldn't a red peach be a rotten peach if kept for a long time?The emperor's mouth is too bad!

Concubine De: ...

The smile on Concubine De's face froze for a moment, then she quickly covered her face with her hands, and ran out of Chaoyang Palace crying!

Seeing Concubine De's back disappear into the palace, the emperor nodded in satisfaction, lifted his buttocks into the bedroom and went to take a nap.

Li Changhai: ...

……

Yesterday in Beijing there was a rumor that Princess Yujun was captured by flower pickers and lost in a theater. Many people knew about it.

But before noon, that rumor was proven to be false.

"Hey, let me tell you, are you stupid, you are still spreading rumors here, be careful if you are caught and thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!

Yesterday's incident was simply some people's nonsense. Have you heard that something happened to the Royal Merchant Zhao's family? "

"I heard it, I heard it!"

"This matter was all caused by the Zhao family and the third prince!

That's how it happened..." Balabababa... said after a pause, "I'm telling you, this is what I saw with my own eyes. The treasures lost by the Zhao family were hidden in the second courtyard in Wuyi Lane. The kidnapping of Princess Yujun this time is to take her there,

Princess Yujun was smart, she realized something was wrong when she was hijacked, she tore off her own bead chain in advance, and her maid found the person based on a few inconspicuous beads.

Coincidentally, the emperor happened to be out of the palace at the invitation of Prince Chen, so a large group of people heard with their own ears that the third concubine admitted that the Zhao family had murdered the princess of Yujun on the third day of the first lunar month. Was cleaned up by the emperor's hidden guards. "

Someone from the side joined the group chat, "It's true. There were too many people at the scene yesterday. Several court officials witnessed it with their own eyes. My family lives in Wuyi Lane..."
