The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

At this time, the old lady hurried over with the prefect.

When the prefect saw Shen Leyan, he was about to bow, but Shen Leyan shook her head slightly.

Li Lian was surprised for a moment when he saw the prefect really arrive.

But today he was determined to get this little beauty, and even the prefect could not stop him.

"The prefect is so busy, how come he found time to come here?"

"Mr. Li, please stop..."

The prefect Zhang Heng hesitated to speak, saying that he was really overwhelmed.

Didn't we already inform the Li family a long time ago? Why can't this little ancestor just be quiet?

Now that he's offended the Empress, even the Princess's personal plea won't save him...

Or he will be held accountable as well, so of course he has to protect himself now.

"Why should I stop?" Li Lian smiled disapprovingly, his eyes still staring at Shen Leyan greedily.

"Zhang Heng, I advise you to stop meddling in other people's business."

"Just because my father gives you some face doesn't mean that our Li family is afraid of you, the prefect. If you know what's good for you, take your people and leave immediately."

The prefect snorted coldly, "You arrogant boy, you really don't know your place!"

"Li Lian, let me tell you, if you still insist on doing this, I'm afraid the entire Li family will be implicated."

Li Lian was stunned when he heard this, then burst into laughter. "Don't be so alarmist here. Don't think I'll be scared just because you say that."

The prefect secretly sighed that Li Lian was stupid and was simply courting his own death.

Alas, how could the Li family raise such a suicidal waste...

If he had known this, he should not have been so lenient towards the Li family in order to curry favor with the princess, leading to the current situation.

It seems that he can no longer keep the official hat on his head...

He now only hopes to atone for his sins and reduce the punishment on his body.

The prefect glanced at Shen Leyan and, seeing her calm expression, mustered up the courage to speak: "Your Majesty, I will have the criminal who offended you imprisoned!"

Queen?

When Li Lian heard this, his face turned pale instantly, his legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

how come?

impossible……

"This isn't true... I don't believe it!"

Li Lian pointed at Shen Leyan tremblingly, "How could the Queen appear here? You must be an imposter!"

"I won't believe it anyway!"

"Let me go!"

"Let my dad come over."

"My father will definitely rescue me, and I won't let you go when that happens!"

Li Lian's hands were grabbed by the officers and soldiers. He struggled to break free and shouted wildly.

At this moment, the crowd suddenly parted, and Emperor Yong'an came from behind. He just heard his wild words and immediately became furious.

Emperor Yong'an strode forward and kicked the struggling Li Lian, "How dare you speak nonsense when I'm here!"

Everyone was shocked and knelt down.

Li Lian collapsed to the ground and gave up struggling.

it's over...

Everything is over...

He had never expected that the beautiful woman he had just coveted was actually the Empress, and that even the Emperor had come...

His lips trembled as he tried to say something to beg for mercy, but he was speechless for a moment.

Woohoo...

Emperor Yong'an walked towards Shen Leyan, took her hand, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Yan'er, I'm late."

"Are you okay?"

Shen Leyan shook her head and smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, I'm fine."

Emperor Yong'an checked and confirmed it before he felt relieved.

God knows how panicked and scared he was when he couldn't find anyone after he came back from the pastry shop after buying some butterfly cookies.

He hurriedly asked Baoshun and the others, but he didn't expect that they had also lost the person, which made him very anxious.

He wanted to gather people immediately to turn the entire Yunzhou City upside down, but he transferred most of his troops to Lingxia Mountain.

He took his men and searched the street they had just walked on for several times, but still did not see Shen Leyan.

In the end, he had no choice but to send someone to the prefect to mobilize troops, but he didn't expect that the prefect had already taken his men out.

And he just happened to have received an order from Shen Leyan, so he rushed over immediately after getting the news.

I didn't expect that she had been among this crowd all along...

When Emperor Yong'an passed by, he saw a group of people gathered together and chattering loudly.

He didn't have time to pay attention to these things and thought that these people were watching some kind of circus performance.

He knew that Shen Leyan was not the kind of person who liked to join in the fun, so he didn't pay much attention and just passed it by.

He held her in his arms with some regret, "It's not my fault. I almost let Yan'er get bullied."

"I promise I won't do this again. I'll let Yan'er punish me when I get back."

In fact, if Emperor Yong'an hadn't mentioned it, Shen Leyan would have forgotten about it.

Besides, she wasn't really angry at all, she was just a little thin-skinned and had a little tantrum.

She also felt that she shouldn't have done that, and said apologetically, "Don't blame Your Majesty, I'm also at fault. I regretted it when I turned around and didn't see you just now."

"If I hadn't been walking so fast ahead, I wouldn't have gotten separated from you..."

"It's not Yan'er's fault. It's Baoshun and the others who didn't follow you closely."

"I thought I'd buy you some of your favorite butterfly cakes to help you calm down."

Shen Leyan was a little surprised when she heard this, "You went to buy me some butterfly cakes?"

Emperor Yong'an nodded. He had wanted to show his sincerity to her, but he didn't expect that this display would almost make Shen Leyan lose her...

Thinking of this, Emperor Yong'an turned and looked at Li Lian with a cold gaze. He then turned and ordered the prefect Li Heng, "Bring all the members of the Li family to the county government office."

Li Heng responded quickly and led the officers and soldiers towards the Li family mansion.

Li Lian finally regained consciousness and kowtowed desperately, begging for mercy. "Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life."

"I didn't know the Empress was here, so I made such a big mistake. I beg Your Majesty and the Empress to forgive me..."

Shen Leyan snorted coldly, "According to Master Li's meaning, can anyone else do whatever they want?"

"I dare not..."

"You don't dare? Oh, then tell me what's going on with this woman?"

"This... this is all the work of these evil servants. It has nothing to do with me!"

"is it?"

Shen Leyan looked at Li Lian with a half-smile. He really wanted to deny it even when he was about to die.

"Will anyone believe it?"

Shen Leyan glanced around at the people around her. She knew they all had a lot to say, as they were all witnesses to Li Lian's crimes.

Although Emperor Yong'an didn't know what had happened, Li Lian was so bold that he dared to offend Shen Leyan. How could he let him go?

But at the moment, it seems that there are more unexpected things happening to Li Lian.

Looking at the angry expressions on the faces of the people around him, one can tell that Li Lian must be arrogant and domineering in his daily life, and must have done many immoral things.
