With the Queen Mother's approval, Emperor Shen Yuqing doesn't have to worry too much.
The court is now in a state of panic, mainly because of one thing.
Shen Yuze gave an order to dismiss Xiao Mao, the eldest son of the Xiao family, and sent him to the prison of the Pacification Division.
That place is a place that all officials in the court are terrified of.
As long as you enter the door, you will be skinned alive if you don't die!
As the emperor, Shen Yuqing was shocked when he first learned about this. His good brother Shen Yuze actually stood up when facing the Xiao family!
No...
He was tough!
He had been a dog for so many years, and the elder brother felt ashamed.
Now it's good to give people such a big surprise!
For this matter, Xiao Yang ran around everywhere, trying to rescue his son Xiao Mao, but there was a royal order from Prince Yu's Mansion.
If Shen Yuze hadn't spoken, even the Ministry of Justice would not dare to release him.
That evening, Xiao Yang returned home from the Ministry of Rites with his head down, while Xiao Lan paced back and forth in the courtyard anxiously.
"Father, how is my brother now?"
Xiao Yang lamented, "Alas... I'm afraid it's more likely to be bad than good."
Hearing this, Xiao Lan's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears rolled in her eyes, making anyone who saw her feel pitiful.
No wonder Shen Yuze's original owner was so obsessed with her.
Xiao Lan gritted her teeth, and the sadness in her eyes turned into resentment.
"Shen Yuze... He is a complete villain!"
"You want me to marry him willingly, but you threaten my brother's life!"
"It's so sinister!"
Xiao Yang's pupils also gathered a sinister look.
"Your father told you to keep Shen Yuze in check, but you just let it go and ended up harming your brother!"
The tone of these words clearly rebuked Xiao Lan.
She opened her red lips slightly, begging for an explanation.
She didn't like Shen Yuze at all, and her attitude had always been ambiguous.
Shen Yuze was willing to take the initiative before, but now he was using such despicable means to force her to submit!
But when Xiao Lan thought of her brother suffering in prison, her heart ached.
Xiao Yang used almost all his connections in the court.
The answers were all very consistent.
If Xiao Mao wanted to be rescued, it would be impossible unless Shen Yuze gave in.
Moreover, in a while, the Ministry of Justice would present a list of people to be executed in the autumn, and adding Xiao Mao's name to it would be a matter of a flick of a finger.
Xiao Yang also believed that Shen Yuze was just trying to force his daughter to compromise with him.
"Lan'er, if it really doesn't work, just go to Prince Yu's mansion and admit your mistake."
"And your father heard a piece of news in the court."
"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are looking for other girls for Prince Yu. If you don't hurry up, your brother will really die!"
Xiao Lan felt very aggrieved, tears rolled down her cheeks, and she choked and said, "Dad... I have told you more than once that my lover is not Shen Yuze!"
"Who is that!" Xiao Yang suddenly asked in a stern voice.
"The second prince, Shen Yuchen."
Boom...
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue for Xiao Yang, but it also brought a surprise.
"Daughter! So how far have you and the second prince gotten?"
When talking about this, Xiao Lan was a little shy, and said in a soft voice: "We just have a good impression of each other."
"The second prince has many military achievements, and his position in the court is much stronger than that of Prince Yu."
"Then, you should go to see the second prince and ask him to come forward to save your brother!"
Xiao Yang seemed a little impatient at the moment.
Xiao Lan still felt embarrassed, and said timidly: "This is not good..."
"What's wrong with it? Since you have feelings for each other, you must seize this opportunity. The future of your father and your brother depends on you!"
In Xiao Yang's eyes, the second prince Shen Yuze is a better choice for the Xiao family.
Among the many heirs of the royal family, only the second prince has the highest attainments in martial arts, and he has personally led troops to fight several major battles on the border and has never been defeated.
That Prince Yu Shen Yuze...
There is really no good reputation among the ministers. To put it bluntly, he is no different from a drunkard.
Xiao Lan seemed to have made up her mind. She dressed herself up carefully and came to the residence of the second prince Shen Yuchen accompanied by several maids.
Due to his family background, the Prince Mu Mansion of the second prince Shen Yuchen can only be described as "poor".
There is no comparison with the Prince Yu Mansion.
Even the servants are only a few.
These do not represent anything. Apart from Shen Yuqing, who is the emperor, he is the most powerful prince.
Seeing Xiao Lan coming, Shen Yuchen's eyes were full ofTenderly, she asked softly, "Lan'er, why are you here?"
"Your Highness, I have something to ask for, and I hope you can agree."
When Xiao Lan spoke, her delicate and aggrieved look could indeed make many men feel distressed.
Shen Yuchen was no exception.
The two had an old relationship, but after Xiao Lan explained the reason, he showed embarrassment.
"You also know that Xiao Mao was imprisoned because he spoke nonsense in Prince Yu's Mansion. It is difficult for me to save him."
"How about this, you compromise with my third brother first."
"I guess as long as you agree to marry into Prince Yu's Mansion, he will definitely release your brother."
Hearing this, Xiao Lan was stunned on the spot. After coming to her senses, she held back her tears and said: "Your Highness, didn't you promise me that you would definitely marry me!"
"I promised you, but now the situation has changed, and I will definitely remember this."
"Shen Yuze, he is indeed my brother, but we are not born of the same mother."
"I advise you to marry him, not to abandon you, understand?"
Xiao Lan is not stupid.
She understood what Shen Yuchen meant.
Marry into Prince Yu's Mansion and monitor Shen Yuze!
Xiao Lan was still hesitating in her heart, and Shen Yuchen suddenly opened his arms and hugged her into his arms.
"Lan'er, I'm at the end of my rope. If you don't help me, I'll be alone."
"In fact, my heart aches for you to marry into Prince Yu's mansion!"
"If it weren't for the situation, I wouldn't want you to leave me!"
These sad words made Xiao Lan feel very distressed for Shen Yuchen: "Your Highness, don't worry. For you and my brother, I will bow to Shen Yuze once, and then go back to discuss with my father and bring me back to the Queen Mother!"
Get Xiao Lan's reply.
Almost in an instant, the complex emotions in Shen Yuchen's eyes disappeared.
In his heart, Xiao Lan was just a chess piece that he could play with at will.
But thinking of his mother's tragic death in the harem and his elder brother's suspicion of him.
He had to do this!
How could a man who accomplishes great things be disturbed by love?
