Chang'an Xu's hometown

The princesses were shocked when they entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony. They saw that the trees around them had been chopped down and were lying on the ground. The ground was full of signs of destruction.

They saw the Royal Guards guarding in the distance, with military flags on them. Then, the Royal Guards found them and surrounded them.

When they saw them, they said, "We are the 111th Imperial Guard. Who are you? How did you get in? Do you have the emperor's order? If you don't have the order, we will kick you out. Don't interfere with our work."

Mo Yi, who was holding Princess Chaoyang, was at a loss as to what to say.

The princess said, "I am Princess Chaoyang. Our father personally wrote a memorial to let me in. What right do you have to stop me?"

The imperial guards laughed after hearing this: "You said you were Princess Chaoyang, but do you have Princess Chaoyang's ID card? I said I was the eldest prince."

Can't you say something believable?

"Alright, alright. Even if you are really Princess Chaoyang, we cannot let you in without the Emperor's order."

Princess Chaoyang said, "Password, what password? My father clearly wrote a memorial to me and asked me to come in to see him. What password do you need?"

They said, "A memorial is fine, but what about the memorial? Without it, we will never let you go."

The princess said, "The memorial is in the hands of the captain of the imperial guards outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony. It's not with me. How can I show it to you? Why don't you go to him and have a look?"

They said, "We can't leave here, how can we go and see? Anyway, we only recognize memorials or you have an ID card that can prove that you are Princess Chaoyang.

Otherwise, we can’t let you go. If any of you are an undercover agent, assassin or spy of the enemy country, we can’t bear this responsibility.”

Princess Chaoyang sneered: "You said we are undercover spies and assassins of the enemy country? Just look at me. Her legs are still being held by someone. Does she look like a spy? And with her skinny arms and legs, who would let her be an undercover, assassin, or spy?

Just let us go. I am really Princess Chaoyang. I have my ID card, but I changed clothes today. The ID card is in the pocket of that dress, and I don't have it with me.

He said, "No, you can't get in without the emperor's password or ID card. We only recognize the emperor's password or an ID card that can represent your identity."

Princess Chaoyang said, "Can we have someone who can represent my identity? This is Mo Yi, and she knows that I am Princess Chaoyang."

They sneered, "You mean her? Isn't she yours? Then she must be on your side. How do we know if what she said is true?"

Princess Chaoyang said speechlessly: "You are just too suspicious."

Instead of feeling ashamed, they were proud and said complacently: "Isn't it a good thing to be suspicious? If we are not suspicious, how can we know whether we will let the bad guys go?"

After hearing this, Princess Chaoyang fell silent.

The captain of the Royal Guards looked at them and said, "You better go. We will let you out. Don't waste my time anymore."

Princess Chaoyang said, "I've thought of it. I have something that can represent my identity. Take a look at it."

After she finished speaking, she took off the golden hairpin on her head and held it in her hand.

The captain of the Yulin Army was very confused and asked, "Do you have anything that can prove that you are Princess Chaoyang? Bring it to me and see it."

Princess Chaoyang said: "The golden hairpin on my head can be seen on the top of my head. I am Princess Chaoyang of Qingyang State. This is something that my father customized for me. I am the only one in the world who has it. There is a deep blue mark on it.

You should know that the emperor will engrave a blue mark on the gift that the emperor gives to Princess Chaoyang. This is known to all the people in Qingyang. If you don't know, you are not Qin people. I reasonably suspect that you are spies! "

After she finished speaking, she gave the hairpin in her hand to Mo Yi and asked him to pass it to the captain of the Imperial Guard. Mo Yi then walked up to the captain of the Imperial Guard and handed him the hairpin.

The captain of the imperial guards looked carefully at the golden hairpin in front of him and saw that there was indeed a deep blue mark engraved on it. He knew that the person in front of him was indeed Princess Chaoyang.

He then ordered his subordinates to disperse slowly and release Princess Chaoyang and the others.

He said to them, "Princess Chaoyang, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You can go in now."

Princess Chaoyang nodded slightly after hearing this. She said to Mo Yi, "Mo Yi, let's go in and find our father."

Mo Yi nodded and said, "Yes, Princess."

Then they walked into the Empress Dowager's Taihe Palace.

At this time, the Emperor was interrogating a tall man in black in the Empress Dowager's Palace of Supreme Harmony. He was holding the Empress Dowager's jade necklace. Eunuch Shun handed the jade necklace to the Emperor, who took it and held it in his hand.

The emperor asked, "Where are you from? Why do you look like someone other than our Qingyang? Which country are you from? Tell me how you stole my mother's jade necklace?"

The man said, "Your Majesty, you are wrong. I really didn't steal this jade necklace. I picked it up."

Emperor: "Picked it up? Where did you pick it up?"

He said, "I picked this up on the road."

The emperor asked, "On the road? Which road did you pick it up on?"

The man said, "I picked this up on the only way to the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

The emperor said, "You are talking nonsense. Picked it up? How could you have picked it up? If you had picked it up, why would you run away?"

The emperor glanced at Eunuch Shun and said to him, "Little Shunzi, take him to the secret room for interrogation. I don't believe he won't tell the truth."

The man's legs were shaking, and he quickly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I am telling the truth. I really picked it up. If I tell a lie, I would rather be struck by lightning."

At this moment, a thunderbolt really struck in the sky. He was stunned. The emperor was also stunned.

The emperor said, "Look, even God knows what you said is a lie. Xiao Shunzi, quickly take him to the secret room for interrogation."

Eunuch Shun nodded, walked up to him and grabbed his hands. He said, "Please, tie them yourself. Do you want me to tie you up?"

He then came to his senses and said to the emperor: "No, Your Majesty, I don't know what's wrong. What's wrong with this weather?"

He thought, it was clear just now. It was sunny and cloudless. Why did it suddenly thunder? I am going to be killed by this weather.

He said quickly: "Your Majesty, I am really not a killer, I am just a thief. I heard that the Queen Mother in the palace treasures her jade necklace the most.

The current group leader of our stealing world who holds the title of Master Thief has organized a competition. Whoever can steal the Queen Mother's jade necklace will be awarded the title of Master Thief.

So today, our sect members broke into the palace to steal the Queen Mother's jade necklace. We are not undercover agents, assassins, spies, or anything like that from the enemy country."

The emperor said, "You, you mean there are more than just you?"

He said, "Yes, all of our disciples are here. People from other disciples will also come tomorrow." The emperor nodded and said, "Oh, where are the others hiding? Tell me and I will reduce your sentence. Anyway, you must go to the secret room. If you don't tell me, you will be punished more. If you tell me, you will be punished less."

After hearing this, he quickly said, "Your Majesty, are you telling the truth? Don't lie to me."

The emperor said, "My words are as good as gold and as heavy as a tripod. I will never take them back. Your words are not joking."

He thought that an emperor would not lie to him, so he said, "Your Majesty, my senior sister and the others are hiding on the beams of Princess Chaoyang's Chaoyang Palace, and my junior brother is hiding in the bushes of the Imperial Garden.

My master hid on the beam of the Imperial Hospital, and he was planning to steal the jade necklace of the Empress Dowager tonight. My uncle and his men dressed up as eunuchs and hid in the Chunyue Palace of Concubine Rong.

"Okay. Your Majesty, I've already told you that you must keep your word."

The emperor frowned after hearing this and said, "What did you say? Your uncle and his men are hiding in the Chunyue Palace of my beloved concubine Rou'er?"

He nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, didn't I just tell you? Uncle Master and the others are hiding in the Chunyue Palace of your Royal Concubine Rong."

After hearing this, the emperor quickly said, "Xiao Shunzi, send someone quickly to get them out of my beloved concubine's palace."

The emperor was even more angry because his beloved concubine was pregnant and he had built Chunyue Palace like an iron barrel, yet someone could still mess around.

He went on to say: "Also, pull out all the people from those places he just mentioned and take them to the Dark Chamber. Let the people from the Dark Chamber interrogate me. I don't believe that they dare to come to my palace just for the title of thief.

Even if they just want the title of master thief? They didn't steal anything else. They don't have any other malicious intentions. If you dare to come and break into my palace, I will keep your life. Do you think my palace is so easy to break into?"

Eunuch Shun said, "Yes, Your Majesty." After saying this, he sent people to capture the man's uncle, sister, master, and other people.

At this time, Mo Yi and the others came in. It turned out that they were stopped again. The captains of the imperial guards wanted passwords or identity cards when they wanted to enter.

But her memorial was in the hands of the captain of the imperial guards outside the gate of the Palace of Supreme Harmony, and her gold hairpin that could prove her identity. In the hands of the captain of the imperial guards entering the gate of the Palace of Supreme Harmony, she no longer had anything to prove her identity, so she had no choice but to break through.

But Princess Chaoyang and her companions actually broke in while they were going to the toilet.

The emperor was surprised to see Princess Chaoyang being held by Mo Yi. He said, "Chaoyang, what's wrong with you? Why are you being held by a little maid? Why is your hair so messy? Didn't I give you a memorial to let you in?"

Princess Chaoyang said, "Father, please don't worry about me for now. Have you seen the jade necklace of the Empress Dowager? I had the jade necklace but I don't know who snatched it away.

It's been so long, the Queen Mother should be awake by now. If the Queen Mother doesn't see the jade necklace,

She might try to commit suicide again. Don't worry about my legs, just find the jade necklace first."

The emperor smiled and said to her, "Don't worry, Chaoyang. Look what this is?" He swung the jade necklace in his hand.

Princess Chaoyang was very surprised when she saw it. She said, "Father, why is this necklace with you? Did you send that person?"

The emperor sneered, "Chaoyang, that man was not sent by me. I caught him. I got the jade necklace from him. What happened to your leg? Did you sprain it? If you sprain it, go to the Imperial Hospital and let Doctor Liu take a look at you. By the way, the man I caught is right in front of you, don't you see it?"

Princess Chaoyang looked forward carefully after hearing this and saw the man who had taken her necklace. She thought that if it weren't for him, her leg wouldn't have been sprained.

She said, "Father, it was because of this guy that my leg was injured. You have to punish him. Oh, by the way, a few days ago, my sister Qin from the Dark Chamber told me that the Dark Chamber had developed a new punishment tool for prisoners that no one had tried before, so she wanted to find someone to try it. Let him try it, because he hurt my leg."

The emperor smiled and said, "Okay, let him try."

Hearing this, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, you don't agree with me? You can't go back on your word. Are you still a gentleman?"

The emperor smiled and said, "I am going to agree to your request. But did I say that I did not punish you? I said that I would reduce your punishment. I had not thought about how to punish you before, so I did not say anything."

He smiled bitterly and said, "You are the emperor, who could have plotted against you? It's all my fault. If it weren't for my master and my senior sisters, they wouldn't have been caught. I'd rather die."

After he finished speaking, he broke free from the hands of Shun Gonggong, and banged his head against the cabinet in the distance. Shun Gonggong was very anxious when he saw this, and the emperor glanced at Shun Gonggong. Shun Gonggong then calmed down, and the emperor said, "An Yi."

Then, a person appeared from behind the emperor.

He quickly caught the man who was about to bang his head against the cabinet. After bringing him to Eunuch Shun, he said to the emperor, "I have completed the order."

The emperor nodded slightly, and then he disappeared from everyone's sight.

The emperor said, "Okay, the matter is resolved. Eunuch Shun, suppress him."

Eunuch Shun said, "As you command, Your Majesty."

Then Eunuch Shun walked up to him and escorted him out.

After Eunuch Shun left, the emperor asked, "Who is this Chaoyang? Where did you bring this little girl from?"

Princess Chaoyang said, "Father, this is Mo Yi, your daughter's savior. If it weren't for her, you might not be able to see your daughter. You must reward her well."

The emperor smiled and said, "Okay, okay, reward her, I will definitely give her a reward."

Then he glanced at Mo Yi and said to her: "Your name is Mo Yi, right? Tell me anything you like. I will give you a satisfactory reward."

Mo Yi's legs trembled when she heard the emperor's question. She said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Princess Chaoyang."

"Well, I don't have anything I like. If you want to reward me, just give me some silver."

The emperor was silent for a while after hearing this.

Mo Yi was nervous and didn't say anything. At this time, Princess Chaoyang said, "Father, don't scare her."

The emperor smiled and said, "I am just a little surprised that you, little girl, have such a good personality. No one has ever said to me that they want money. They all pretend to be noble in front of me, saying that they don't want anything, or they just want some calligraphy or paintings, or some words from me. They all say that this is the best reward, and they are just flattering me. I am annoyed to hear this, but you, little girl, are quite good."

Then tell me, how much silver do you want?

Mo Yi relaxed her nervous mood after hearing this. She said to the emperor carefully: "Your Majesty, is 50 okay? Isn't it too much? How about 30? 30 is also fine."

The emperor said, "50? The pocket money I give Chaoyang is more than 50. How about I give you 500?"

Mo Yi waved her hands after hearing this and said to the emperor, "500? No, no, that's too much. I just woke up Princess Chaoyang and brought her to you. I don't have that much credit. No, that's too much. 500 is really too much. Your Majesty, 50 will be enough."

The emperor said: "You think you don't have much merit, but you brought Princess Chaoyang to me safely, which is the greatest merit. 500 is not much, I will give you 500. I will let Eunuch Shun reward you later.

Mo Yi was silent. At this time, Princess Chaoyang said, "Mo Yi, let's just give 500. Listen to your father."

After hearing what Princess Chaoyang said, Mo Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said to the emperor, "Okay, I will obey your command."

The emperor smiled and said, "How can I only give you money and not give you other things?

I will confer upon you the title of a county lady, and then give you a memorial. You can write anything on the memorial. It is equivalent to a golden medal of immunity from death. This is your reward for protecting Princess Chaoyang.

Mo Yi heard this and said, "No, no. Your Majesty, this is too expensive. After all, I am just a little maid. How can a little maid become a county lady?"

The emperor said: "A gentleman's words are as good as gold. I am the emperor, how can I change my words?

Okay, stop talking, I have already made up my mind."

When Mo Yi heard the emperor say this, he could only nod.

Said: "Your servant, obey your command."
