Chapter 967
"Why did the emperor leave the palace and come to the Marquis at this time?" Hongyue looked at the sky, a little puzzled.

The butler shook his head, he just came to deliver a message for Lord Hou.

"Well, we'll come later." Hongyue responded, and then ordered Qiu Lian, "Go to Danqing Pavilion and invite Qinxue. That girl has not eaten or drank for the past two days. She has been tossing enough. If she can't sleep, let her rest well!"

After all, Hongyue followed the butler to the front hall.

"My wife has seen the emperor." Hongyue knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.

"Mrs. Hou, don't be too polite, let's be flat!" Ye Tianyu sat on the main seat, raised his hand to signal the people below, and asked, "Why don't you see Prince Jin?"

"This..." Hongyue hesitated for a moment.

Bai Lijing took over the words and said: "The young prince has already rested now. After His Royal Highness King Jin went out to fight, he cried all day long. He managed to sleep peacefully tonight. I can't bear to disturb him."

Ye Tianyu nodded, "That's right, the emperor's uncle went out to fight, and the emperor's aunt didn't come back. The little son is only three and a half years old, and it's normal to cry, so why don't you take me to see him, and you don't need to wake him up. Just take a look at it from a distance, and it’s considered complete, and the emperor entrusted me to take care of the little prince before he set off on the expedition.”

Baili Jing's complexion changed.

Hongyue quickly explained: "Little son's sleep is shallow, and the minister's wife is worried that if he wakes him up, he will cry again, which will affect the emperor instead."

"No problem." Ye Tianyu waved his hand, "Parents are not around, if he still doesn't cry or make trouble, wouldn't he appear heartless? Besides, I originally planned to let him live in the palace for a while. If he wakes up Alright, let’s discuss this.”

Glancing at the expressions of Bailijing and Hongyue, Ye Tianyu suddenly said: "Master Hou and Madam have repeatedly declined, could it be that Prince Jin's son is not at the mansion at all?"

Hongyue's heart sank, she gritted her teeth and said, "Reporting to the emperor, the young prince is indeed not in the mansion, and the son of An Guogong's mansion came to take him away just now."

"Bold!" Gu Yong took advantage of the situation and yelled loudly: "Just now he said that Prince Jin's son was asleep, but now he said that he was taken away by An Ruhan, so weren't you bullying the king just now?"

"The old minister (the minister's wife) dare not!" Baili Jing and Hongyue knelt down together.

Bai Lijing explained: "Although His Highness King Jin entrusted the young prince to the minister, he is not very close to Hongyue and the servants in the mansion, but he only clings to the son of An Guogong's mansion. The old minister has no choice but to let An If Han took him away, the reason why he said that the young prince fell asleep just now was because he didn't want the emperor to worry about his affairs. Now that the northern border is in chaos, the emperor has just ascended the throne, and the court situation is unstable. The emperor is already worried about these things, it is really inappropriate Don't get distracted by little things."

"This boy..." Ye Tianyu helped his forehead helplessly, took a sip of the tea handed over by the maidservant of Marquis Wuding Mansion, stood up and told Gu Yong, "Send me back to the palace!"

"Respectfully send off the emperor—" Bai Lijing and a group of servants knelt down and sent Ye Tianyu away.

"How did Xue Zhang, the eunuch next to the late emperor, handle it?" On the way back to the palace, Ye Tianyu frowned and asked Gu Yong.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, he has resigned on his own initiative." Gu Yong replied in a low voice.

"Oh?" Ye Tianyu raised his eyebrows in doubt, "He is a eunuch who has been castrated, is he going to resign to return to his hometown or go into seclusion?"

Gu Yong considered it carefully: "I heard that the slave is planning to return home."

"That's it..." Ye Tianyu lowered his eyebrows, stroked the jade ring finger on his thumb, and said quietly: "It is rainy season in the Jianghuai area, and it would not be surprising if you return home alone and encounter natural disasters such as landslides and torrents." Bar?"
