Seeing that everyone was present, Eunuch Fu did not delay and directly picked up the imperial edict and read it out.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, declares: Chen Xiaonian of the Six Gates is suspected of attempting to assassinate the Emperor.
......... ... ...
Take the Imperial Guards and take him to the Heavenly Prison. I order this."
"I obey your order." Chen Xiaonian raised his hands and respectfully took the imperial edict.
"Please allow me to say a few words, sir."
Seeing that Chen Xiaonian had no other thoughts, Eunuch Fu nodded.
"Brother Xiaonian, why are we going to the Heavenly Prison?
I will go to my grandfather to plead for you, just wait."
Chen Xiaonian grabbed the angry Li Deyun, and housekeeper Qian looked at him anxiously.
"I guess your grandfather has already pleaded for me."
"Then why would His Majesty..."
Chen Xiaonian stopped Li Deyun from saying anything and shook his head.
"Listen carefully, I don't have much time."
Li Deyun looked at Chen Xiaonian and could only suppress his anger temporarily.
......five.
Chapter 430 Prison
"Next, you and Butler Qian listen to me carefully.
"Butler Qian, after I leave, you must add more staff to the mansion, especially to the study."
Chen Xiaonian looked at Butler Qian with a serious expression.
Butler Qian nodded.
"Master, rest assured, I will definitely take care of all matters in the mansion."
"Release the Saker Falcon in the backyard tomorrow morning."
Butler Qian nodded.
"As for you." Chen Xiaonian turned around and looked at Li Deyun.
“933” “You and Miss Mu must protect yourselves recently and don’t conflict with others.
Also, the capital may be in turmoil recently, so you should take Sister Mu Xiaoyan back to your home early tomorrow morning."
Li Deyun could tell from Chen Xiaonian's words that this matter was not simple, and nodded seriously.
"Also, come to see me at the prison tomorrow at noon. You must come at noon."
Seeing that Chen Xiaonian and the others had almost finished talking, Eunuch Fu stepped forward and said, "Master Chen, it's time to go."
Chen Xiaonian glanced at Li Deyun and Butler Qian, then turned around and followed the Imperial Guards.
The Imperial Guards came and went quickly, and soon the Chen Mansion returned to its former tranquility.
Li Deyun stared blankly at Chen Xiaonian's disappearing back and felt a little helpless for a moment.
"Mr. Li, I will go down and make arrangements first." Butler Qian's words brought Li Deyun back to his senses.
"Butler Qian, do you think Brother Xiaonian will come back?" Li Deyun looked at Butler Qian with a sad face.
"Yes. Because the master did not try to assassinate the emperor."
Yes, Brother Xiaonian didn’t do this at all, so he will definitely come back.
"Then Butler Qian, please go down and give the order. I will go home and prepare first."
The two said goodbye.
That night, the number of guards at Chen Mansion was more than three times that during the day.
And tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
"Your Majesty, Chen Xiaonian has been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."
Eunuch Fu knelt down and narrated the scene word by word.
"My two beloved ministers, I am tired and I will leave now."
The emperor gestured to Zhuge Zhengwo and Li Taifu to go down.
"Yes." The two answered in unison.
When they arrived at the palace gate, Tutor Li was the first to break the silence.
"It seems that Lord Zhuge is not in a hurry at all."
Ever since the emperor announced that it was Chen Xiaonian who attempted to assassinate him, this man hasn't frowned at all.
"Chen Xiaonian, he wouldn't do this.
If he wants to kill, he will kill with one strike."
Hearing Zhuge Zhengwo's tone, Master Li was speechless.
Is he discussing this with him?
“You are such a careless master, your apprentice has ended up in jail.
We can still joke around here.”
"Master Li, don't be angry.
It’s not that I don’t care, but if I plead for Xiaonian like you did, the situation will only get worse.”
"Oh?" Master Li wondered what the logic was.
"Master Li, have you forgotten the courage of our emperor?"
Zhuge Zhengwo looked at Master Li with a joking expression.
Only then did Master Li react to what Zhuge Zhengwo said.
"That's why you didn't plead for Chen Xiaonian just now."
"Exactly."
"Yes, our emperor only believes what he sees and nothing else."
"Master Li, our emperor has finally grown into the person we hoped for."
Master Li looked at the dark night and sighed silently.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Tutor Li and Mr. Zhuge stood at the palace gate for a while and then left."
"What did they say?"
"I can't get too close, but I vaguely heard Master Li asking why Mr. Zhuge didn't plead for Lord Chen."
The emperor pondered for a while and asked the eunuch to leave.
.......
Chapter 431 Rumors
The next morning, the news that Chen Xiaonian was imprisoned had spread.
"I heard that it was the leader of the Six Gates who entered the palace and assassinated the emperor."
"Yeah yeah."
"Tell me, why did he attack and assassinate the emperor?"
"What else? The throne."
"The throne."
"Don't forget that the current emperor was pushed to the throne by the Divine Marquis Zhuge Zhengwo."
"Now that he wants to replace someone, doesn't he have to send someone to assassinate him?"
"What are you talking about? The Divine Marquis has always been upright and would definitely not do such a thing."
"Then why do you say I'm talking nonsense?"
After a while, the crowd started to quarrel.
Mu Xiaoyan clenched her fists and said, "You just let them slander Brother Xiaonian as they please."
Li Deyun held Mu Xiaoyan's arm tightly with one hand.
"Let me go and teach them a lesson."
Mu Xiaoyan was picked up by Li Deyun at the inn early this morning.
Li Deyun explained the whole story to her, and Mu Xiaoyan was furious.
What a coincidence, she ran into this group of people making trouble for Chen Xiaonian here, so she couldn't help it.
If Li Deyun hadn't refused to let go, she would have torn these people's mouths apart long ago.
"Have you forgotten what Brother Xiaonian asked me to convey?
Let’s not get into conflict with others these days.”
"Then we'll just bear with it."
"Bear with it first, and then find a solution."
Only then did Li Deyun understand why Chen Xiaonian did not allow them to have conflicts with others.
Because this will become a sharp sword stabbing Chen Xiaonian.
If they had a conflict with others at this time and the emperor heard about it, he would make a fuss about Chen Xiaonian.
So, they have to keep calm now.
"Let's go back to the Li Mansion first."
It would be fine if I didn’t mention this, but as soon as I mentioned Mu Xiaoyan, I felt uncomfortable.
Noticing the stiffness of her body, Li Deyun smiled knowingly.
"Why are you shy? It's okay, my grandparents are fine."
"Why should I go to your house? Can't I go to Chen's house?"
"This is naturally what Brother Xiaonian ordered. I think you will feel more comfortable in the Li Mansion."
"I believe your lies."
Mu Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at Li Deyun.
In this way, the two of them played and joked along the way and quickly arrived at Li's Mansion.
Looking at the two stone lions in front of her, Mu Xiaoyan didn't know whether to advance or retreat.
In the end, Li Deyun pushed and dragged the man into the mansion.
"Grandpa, grandma. This is the Xiaoyan I was talking about."
"Hello, Grandpa and Grandma." Mu Xiaoyan stood quietly by the side.
Mr. and Mrs. Li nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad, little girl." Master Li said in a mature manner.
Mu Xiaoyan became even more unsettled after receiving the praise.
Sensing Mu Xiaoyan's embarrassment, Li Deyun stepped forward to help him out.
"Grandpa, grandma. I'll show her the room first."
The two old men nodded with a smile.
"Let's go, Miss Mu." 933 Li Deyun made a gentlemanly gesture of invitation.
When Mu Xiaoyan got close to him, she pinched his waist hard.
"It hurts." Li Deyun slapped the hand away from his waist.
