Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 179 Summoned
"Miss, General Tao Er is here!"

Qiu Yan's voice came in. Cheng Qing glanced outside and said, "Tao Liangting should have brought the news. Let's go out and listen."

The wind cleared and the clouds dispersed, the sun appeared, and the pale white light shone into the Taishi Mansion and fell into the flower hall.

Tao Liangting walked around with his hands behind his back. When he saw Cheng Qing and others coming, he hurriedly greeted them, "Master, Prince, Military Advisor, Brother Cheng."

"Tell me, is it good news or bad news?" Cheng Qing asked, but he knew in his heart that it must be good news.

"Master, one piece of good news and one piece of bad news." Tao Liangting said.

"Is there any bad news?" Cheng Qing was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect this. Could something happen to someone in the palace again? "Let me tell you the good news first."

She had to first confirm whether the good news had successfully captured the three princes, so that she could have the mind to face the bad news later.

Tao Liangting said: "The good news is that the rebellion has calmed down. The three princes have been imprisoned in the sky prison to await interrogation by the emperor. The emperor's concubines, princes and princesses are all fine."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Qing said: "As long as they are fine, what is the bad news you are talking about?"

Speaking of the bad news, Tao Liangting's face suddenly fell. He pulled Cheng Qing aside and whispered: "Master, the emperor has already known about us leading troops to quell the rebellion. In other words, you stole the emperor's money." He already knows about the token, and now he is summoning you into the palace, and he must be trying to cause trouble for you, why don't you run away, master?"

Cheng Qing frowned. She thought it was something, but it turned out to be this. The token was originally given to her by the emperor. Was she afraid of a ghost?
"It's not your master's character to run away. If there is any difficulty, just face it. I don't believe that I have done such a big favor to the emperor, and he still blames me. By the way, you guys keep this matter in your stomach. , don’t take it out and make it public, otherwise my life will be in danger.”

"Master, don't worry, we all know." Tao Liangting whispered.

"What are you muttering about?" An Hewang asked anxiously: "What kind of bad news is it?"

Cheng Qing pretended to hesitate for a moment, and said: "The bad news he said is that the emperor is going to call me into the palace again."

"This..." An He Wang frowned. This is really not good news. Everyone knows the emperor's thoughts about Cheng Qing. If she is summoned to the palace so frequently, her reputation will be damaged again and again. Damaged.

Thinking of this, An Hewang couldn't help but look at Bai Xiuyuan with some worry. He is a good kid and seems to be a good person. If Qing'er is alienated because of this, then there will never be another person who is so suitable for Qing'er. .

Cheng Qing suddenly remembered something and asked: "By the way, Liangting, did the emperor only summon me? Or did he summon everyone?"

"They have all been summoned." Tao Liangting said: "The emperor has also summoned the prince, the military advisor, and brother Cheng. Almost all the people who have made meritorious deeds have been summoned."

Cheng Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "If that's the case, isn't it okay? It's not like I'm the only one being summoned. I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

Tao Liangting was so choked that he couldn't speak, didn't he say that?He also cared about her, so why did he fall into the wrong place instead?

Everyone went to court together to see the emperor.

Outside the court, Cheng Qing grabbed his brother's sleeve and lowered his head, not daring to look around.

Most of the courtiers knew Cheng Qing, and they all glanced at her when they entered the hall. They were very puzzled that a woman could come to the court, and they all gathered together to discuss her.

The generals who had just come from one side were about to go up and say hello to Cheng Qing. When they saw her frightened look, they twitched their lips in unison.

If he hadn't known that she was extremely courageous, I might have been fooled by her appearance.

As if sensing them, Cheng Qing raised his head and looked at them, then smiled lightly, shook his head at them, and signaled them not to act rashly.

The generals walked towards them.

"Prince, Prince, Princess, Military Advisor."

"Generals."

An and Wang also took the lead in greeting them. "All the generals have worked hard. The emperor will definitely reward you for your contribution in quelling the rebellion." An and Wang said with a smile.

"This is what we should do." Qi Diaolie said with a naive smile: "Actually, the one who deserves the most credit this time is the master..."

Before he finished speaking, he was pulled by Bai Xiuyuan.

Qi Diaolie really didn't understand why he wanted to pull him away?Originally, in this matter, the one who made the contribution is the master, and their contribution is secondary.

If Master hadn't turned things around in one fell swoop, the rebels would have been taken down so easily in that round?

Bai Xiuyuan pulled him because not many people knew what Cheng Qing had done yet. They had to wait and see how much the emperor could tell. Otherwise, if they said it here, it would just be a troublemaker, which would not be good.

And there were a lot of people talking. Even now, he could still hear people talking about Cheng Qing. If they hadn't said anything outrageous, he would definitely not be as calm as he is now.

"The Emperor is here!"

Hearing that the emperor was coming, all the courtiers automatically stood on both sides.

According to etiquette, Cheng Qing, Cheng Yue and Bai Xiuyuan had to wait outside.

King Anhe said quickly: "You guys wait here for the summons, we will go in first."

The three nodded in succession.

Everyone quickly went in.

Suddenly the surroundings became much cleaner.

Only the guards who stood like sculptures were left.

Cheng Yue looked at her, very funny, but if she wanted to do this, he could only let her go.

Bai Xiuyuan said angrily and helplessly: "Qing'er, it's not your first time meeting the emperor, so don't you need to be 'nervous'?"

Cheng Qing said: "This is different. It's the Jinluan Palace. There are so many people inside, I'm nervous."

If it weren't for the smile in her tone, he would have truly believed it. Bai Xiuyuan stared at her and then looked at Cheng Yue.

Cheng Yue patted Cheng Qing's back cooperatively, and coaxed with a smile: "Okay sister, don't be afraid anymore."

Bai Xiuyuan: "..."

The mountains inside were shouting, and the sound came from the door very loudly.

Cheng Qing was still a little curious. In this posture, he looked inside slightly, but he didn't directly see the dragon chair.

The entire hall was full of courtiers, but they all stood respectfully, with their heads slightly lowered, bowed slightly, and held court wats in their hands.

It turns out that this was how things went before the imperial court. She had been a court official for several years, but unfortunately she never came to the imperial court.

Most of the officials here are not as high as her.

As she thought about it, her lips became more pouty.

Bai Xiuyuan noticed her movements, turned his head slightly and glanced, suddenly laughed, and asked: "What? Are you envious?"
