A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu

The emperor turned and left the queen's bedroom, leaving the queen sitting on the ground sobbing and venting her anger.

The emperor returned to his palace and sat there without saying a word.

When the servants saw that the emperor's face looked bad, they were all trembling with fear, fearing that they would be killed by the sword if they were not careful.

At this time, Duke Qing, the master of Yaowang Valley and Miss Aying came to the palace to pay homage to the emperor.

The emperor made some adjustments and summoned them.

"Why are you guys here together?"

The emperor opened his mouth to ask, but his eyes were always on Ying.

Although I had seen her last time at Prince An's Mansion, it was only a quick glance.

At that time, the emperor's main target of observation was Miss Azhu, who was now imprisoned.

The emperor once issued an edict that no one could visit the people in the cell without his permission. I think Ah Ying must have wanted to visit Ah Zhu in the prison when she came to the palace at this time.

Duke Qing was the only one with an official title in the group. He stepped forward and bowed, saying:

"In reply to the emperor, the emperor mentioned before that he wanted to meet this girl Aying. I happened to meet her today and brought her to the palace to pay my respects to the emperor."

After Duke Qing finished speaking, he stood in the same position as before.

The emperor looked at him with a smile on his face, thinking: You old fox, it was you who brought the person here, but you said it was me who wanted to see her.

The emperor knew that Ah Ying was a commoner and could not enter the palace on her own. After the incident with the crown prince, Duke Qing seemed to be a stepping stone for Ah Ying to enter the palace, after all, the status of others was not high enough.

The emperor knew that Ah Ying must have gone to the Duke of Qing's mansion to ask for his help, otherwise there was no way she could have entered the palace to meet him. It was just that the old fox, the Duke of Qing, said that he wanted to see her, but what the Duke of Qing said was not entirely wrong.

"Oh, this Miss Aying is the woman from southern Xinjiang who accompanied Princess An to Medicine King Valley to find the Valley Master?"

Ying knelt down and answered "yes".

The emperor continued without fear or anger: "I heard from the Valley Master that you are good at detoxifying. The Ah Zhu in the prison is also from Southern Xinjiang. She is good at poisoning. You should know each other, right?"

Ying nodded.

"Azhu is in prison now. He helped Prince Shun and Liang Jingquan rebel and harmed my officials and people. He said he wanted to contribute to the restoration of the country for Princess Yuan of Southern Xinjiang. You should have heard it that day. To be honest, I am very suspicious of your identity now!"

Upon hearing this, Ah Ying hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, I am Ah Ying from Southern Xinjiang. I did learn some Southern Xinjiang secret techniques from Princess Yuan when I was a child, but I have never harmed anyone.

I grew up with Ah Zhu. She is good at making poisons, and I am good at detoxifying. She has always regarded me as her enemy, but now Ah Zhu is also being used. I beg the emperor to show mercy and allow me to see her. Maybe she can turn back from her wrong path. I will let her tell me everything she knows. "

"How do you know she was being used? Maybe she just wanted it?"

Ah Ying replied: "In reply to your Majesty, Ah Zhu likes to make poison because she once made a bet with me that she would develop a poison that I couldn't crack. She only likes to make poison and wants to defeat me.

As for the Princess Yuan that the Emperor mentioned, Master has not been concerned with the secular world for many years, and has never wanted Ah Zhu to leave Southern Xinjiang. Something must have happened. I beg the Emperor to let me see her."

The emperor looked at her for a few seconds, and after a while he said, "Okay, I allow you to go to the prison to see her. After all, this matter involves you people from Southern Xinjiang. Maybe you can really help. Do your best and leave the rest to fate!"

After Aying expressed her gratitude, the emperor asked her to wait outside the palace.

The emperor looked at Duke Qing again, knowing that he was just bringing Ah Ying into the palace, so there must be nothing wrong.

The emperor deliberately said to him, "My dear, is there anything else you need to do in the palace?"

Duke Qing replied, "No."

"Then step back!"

Duke Qing replied "Yes!" and slowly left the hall.

At this time, apart from the servants, the only people left in the hall were the emperor and the master of Yaowang Valley.

"Sir, you and I don't have to be so reserved." As he spoke, the emperor's sitting posture became more relaxed and casual, but his imperial majesty still remained.

Just now in the palace, Ah Ying entered the palace for the first time and was considered an outsider. The emperor must have his own dignity and follow the rules of the court when he is with the court officials. At this time, the emperor and the master of Yaowang Valley were indeed talking and laughing.

If the prince saw this scene, he would be shocked.

Because when the emperor went to the Duke Qing’s Mansion, the old man next to him was the master of Yaowang Valley.

In fact, the owner of Medicine King Valley had known the emperor for a long time. The tranquility of Medicine King Valley was partly due to its location, partly due to its institutions, and partly because it was the secret base of the royal family.

"You and Duke Qing are now openly talking and laughing, and you seem to be very familiar with each other. But it's also true that I can keep you by my side without worrying about what others think. Those who should know will know sooner or later."

The emperor continued.

"What do you think of this Miss Aying? Does she have any second thoughts?"

The Valley Master had a smile on his face, with his right hand behind his back as usual, and stroked his beard with his left hand.

"This girl is obsessed with medicine. She is suitable for making medicine, but she doesn't care about the disputes in the court. This girl is about the same age as Qing'er. If I hadn't accepted Qing'er as my last disciple, I would have wanted her to be my disciple.

She is not like the imprisoned Ah Zhu. She is more stable and thoughtful, and is not easily exploited. She is the person brought back by General Yang. Let's check her background. This girl is not a bad person by nature."

"It is not easy to have a good nature," said the emperor.

As an ordinary citizen, it was not easy for Ah Ying to enter and leave the palace. At this time, it was Duke Qing who personally took her out of the palace, just like when she entered the palace.

The palace is very large, and even people who are familiar with the roads cannot get through unimpeded. This is where the emperor lives, and patrollers and guards, without identity and tokens, cannot get out alive.

With the guidance of Duke Qing, Aying's journey out of the palace was particularly smooth.

There were two carriages parked outside the palace, one belonging to the Yang family and the other to the Zhuang family.

Outside the palace gate, Zhuang Yunlinhao and Yang Ting were chatting happily. When they saw Duke Qing and his men coming out, they all looked towards the palace gate.

Zhuang Yunlinhao and Yang Ting hurried forward to ask, "How is it? Did the emperor give his permission?"

In the morning, when Aying and Yang Ting went to the Qingguo Mansion to find the Duke of Qing, Zhuang Yunlin was there too. Aying didn't have much friendship with the Duke of Qing, and she wasn't sure if she could ask him to enter the palace, but Zhuang Yunlin said all kinds of good things about her.

Zhuang Yunlin persuaded Duke Qing to bring Aying to ask the emperor for help, and he also came along.

Zhuang Yunlin knew that it was easy to enter the palace, but it was not easy to move the emperor as he was so fickle.

That day, the emperor said in front of many people that no one was allowed to visit the prisoners in the prison without his order. Ah Ying was a foreign woman, and she rashly went to ask the emperor for help. Naturally, she didn't know how the emperor would answer.

Zhuang Yunlin was full of questions.
