Immediately afterwards, Concubine Yu ran in with a face full of panic: "Your Majesty, the courtyard against the mountain wall suddenly collapsed, and Eunuch Liu was almost dragged in!"

Xiao Sheng's warning words suddenly sounded in the emperor's ears, and a flash of urgency suddenly flashed in his eyes: "Where is the regent? Where is he?"

Eunuch Liu hurriedly limped and reported: "The regent sent someone to send news that they have moved to Xingzi Slope ten miles away!"

The emperor clenched his fists with a complex expression and wanted to leave, but he couldn't lose his face.

After just a moment of hesitation, another cry came from outside: "Oh my god, the mountain has collapsed, everyone should run away quickly!"

The emperor quickly walked out and saw the towering mountain falling down amid the lightning and thunder.

He roared angrily: "Run away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several fast horses rushing out of the rain.

It was Xiao Sheng who came with Fang Jiajun!

He personally helped the emperor onto his horse and asked the guards to escort him to Xingzi Slope.

When the emperor was leaving, he anxiously ordered: "Lao Liu, you must protect Yu'er and take her with you. Don't let anything happen to her!"

When Xiao Sheng found Concubine Yu, she stretched out her hand pitifully: "Your Majesty, my feet are sprained and I can't walk at all!"

There was a momentary hesitation in his eyes. He had to consider the difference between men and women, and he couldn't just hug her.

Concubine Yu just held up her hands, stubbornly not giving up.

Until an urgent voice came from outside: "Why are you still hesitating? Seeing that the other courtyard is about to be swallowed up, why don't you leave?"

Concubine Jade's expression suddenly changed, she turned out to be Lin Ruoyou.

She couldn't allow her to think too much when she saw a tall figure walking in. He said anxiously: "Concubine, I will carry you on my back!"

Concubine Yu was happy and surprised when her son appeared.

After getting into the carriage, she asked eagerly: "Prince An, why are you here?"

He wiped the rainwater on his head with a handkerchief and said: "It was one of Erchen's staff who calculated that you were in serious trouble on this trip, so he rushed out of the capital to come to rescue you. Fortunately, I was in time, otherwise it would have been too much." It’s dangerous!”

Almost as soon as the carriage rushed to the official road, the entire courtyard was swallowed up by rocks and mud.

Concubine Yu screamed in fear. She was trembling all over and pinched Prince An hard: "You are not allowed to say that it was the landslide disaster calculated by your staff. You cannot tell your father under any circumstances. Do you understand?"

Prince An's face turned pale as he was pinched, and he murmured in a trembling voice: "Mother Concubine, I have already told Uncle Six Emperors. Isn't it a good thing that I saved you and my father?"

Concubine Yu was so angry that she almost vomited blood, which was a good thing, but Ji Baishi was finished.

After this incident, he might not be able to keep his position as the head of Qintian Prison.

Then the regent's marriage can no longer be blocked, because she knows better than anyone else that everyone around her son is under Xiao Sheng's orders.

There was a complicated flash in her eyes, could it really be unstoppable this time?

Seeing that her expression was very ugly, King An quickly stretched out his hand to support her and comfort her: "Concubine, it's okay. No matter what, Uncle Sixth Emperor is always good to me. You have to believe him!"

Concubine Yu bit her lip in confusion. If it weren't for Lin Ruoyou, of course she would believe it.

He has always had a cold temperament and has never shown any pretense to women.

But now, he has been running for several days to get married to her.

It was enough to show that he was really interested.

Her fingers hidden in her sleeves suddenly clenched tightly, and she didn't notice even if the sharp armor pierced her palm.

She just whispered in a low voice: "If your sixth uncle marries the princess, his thoughts will no longer be on our mother and son!"

King An subconsciously denied: "No, I think Miss Lin is very good. She is brave and kind, and she does not tolerate criticism. She is much better than other noble girls in the capital. Even if the Sixth Emperor's uncle does not marry her, I will give in." She becomes a princess!"

Concubine Jade's eyes suddenly became bright, and she asked eagerly: "Are you really willing to marry Lin Ruoyou?"

A hint of shyness flashed across Wang An's Qingjun face, and he quickly interrupted: "Mother, the Sixth Emperor will not marry Miss Lin, so I don't dare to compete with him. Besides, I'm still young and don't want to marry a wife." Don’t be in a hurry!”

Concubine Yu screamed: "Why don't you rush for a while? When your father was as old as you, King Qin was all over the place. Besides, if you don't marry a wife, how can you establish a family on your own? Leave the palace and open a mansion?"

King An stammered and murmured: "But that shouldn't be Miss Lin. I'm afraid Uncle Sixth Emperor will hit me!"

Concubine Yu reached out and stroked her hair, and she quickly calmed down.

She said solemnly: "It's true that you can't rob openly, but you can plan it secretly. You leave this matter to my mother and concubine!"

King An was a little uneasy, but when he saw Concubine Yu's cold eyes, he did not dare to raise objections.

Just when mother and son fell silent, Xingzipo arrived.

As expected, the emperor was furious and placed all the blame on Ji Baishi.

When he heard that all the villagers were unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He reached out and patted Xiao Sheng's shoulder: "Thanks to you, otherwise I might not be able to face my ancestors. But when did you have such a talent around you? Why didn't I know?"

Xiao Sheng had already discussed the excuse with Lin Ruoyou, and he said calmly: "I don't dare to take credit, it was the staff around King An who suggested it. He has no ambition here, and predicting the weather takes a lot of effort, so he doesn't want to get ahead. !”

The emperor was pleased and said: "I am relieved that Prince An has someone capable to help him!"

He raised his eyes and looked at the dark sky outside, where the heavy rain was still pouring down, and he said angrily: "Ji Baishi, after I go back, I will definitely punish him for his dereliction of duty!"

The next day, the sky cleared.

The first thing the emperor did when he returned to the palace was to announce Ji Baishi's fault in the court. He asked in a deep voice: "Do you know your guilt?"

Ji Baishi knelt on the ground and spoke respectfully: "It was the minister's mistake, please punish me!"

The emperor looked at Xiao Sheng: "Although he made a serious mistake this time, fortunately there were no casualties. Since he has made a huge contribution to the court, let's fine him half a year's salary?"

Xiao Sheng said coldly: "Brother Emperor, as the head of the Qintian Prison, since he did not predict the disaster, what qualifications does he have to hold the post of head of the prison again?"

The emperor's expression froze, and a flash of struggle flashed in his eyes.

He frowned and kicked Chang Quan, the chambermaid next to him.

Chang Quan immediately shouted: "Temporarily suspend the court!"

The emperor quickly stood up and went to the back hall, calling Xiao Sheng away by the way.

The two of them stood under the eaves of the corridor, holding hands, and he said with a sullen face: "Lao Liu, you are a little unreasonable, just because Ji Baishi said something to stop your marriage with Lin Ruoyou, you are going to take the opportunity to flirt with his job? "
