After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

After listening to the emperor's words, Jiang Chen said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, Fan Yao and I are brothers, and brothers share weal and woe. There is no such thing as gratitude at all. I just want to see him wake up safe and sound before I leave the North Country. By then, I Even if I go back, I feel relieved.”

The emperor looked at Jiang Chen and said:

"I have forgotten your identity as an envoy of the Xuanwu Dynasty. I forgot to ask you how you achieved the status of deputy envoy of the mission at such a young age. What is your official position in the Xuanwu Dynasty."

Jiang Chen replied:

"I am currently the editor of the Hanlin Academy."

The emperor looked at Jiang Chen in front of him in surprise and said:

"Those who can be compiled by the Hanlin Academy are either number one or number two. How could it be that at your age, you were among the top three in the scientific examination?"

Before Jiang Chen could reply, Chen Ming, who was standing by, stepped forward and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, you are right. Jiang Chen is a very powerful person. He dominated the Xuanwu Dynasty's imperial examination this year and was selected as the number one scholar by their emperor. It took him three days to parade around the streets. For a long time, all scholars can’t envy him. It’s really a glorious achievement.”

At this time, the emperor was looking at him with disbelief and said:

"Are you the number one scholar selected by the Xuanwu Dynasty this year? At your age, you can stand out among many literati. You are truly a young and promising young man. Fan Yao is lucky to have a friend like you. He is lucky to have met you. Your parents would be proud to have such an outstanding son, but I don’t know what your father’s career is.”

When Jiang Chen saw the emperor asking about his father, he quickly said to him:

"Back to the emperor, my father's name is Jiang Xiaotian, and my grandfather Jiang Rong..."

Before Jiang Chen could finish speaking, the emperor was shocked and his eyes widened again. He looked Jiang Chen up and down carefully and said:

"Jiang Chen, you just said that your grandfather is Jiang Rong and your father is Jiang Xiaotian. Are you talking about Dingyuan Hou Jiang Rong and his son?"

Jiang Chen looked at the emperor's surprised face and was about to nod to him when he saw Chen Ming had already arrived in front of the emperor and explained on Jiang Chen's behalf:

"Your Majesty, Dingyuan Hou Jiang Rong is Jiang Chen's grandfather, and Jiang Xiaotian is Jiang Chen's father. When I rescued His Highness from Yeluhan, I fled to the border of Xuanwu Dynasty. Thanks to meeting Dingyuan Hou , when he knew that His Highness was Jiang Chen's friend, he took us in without hesitation. Fortunately, the old general sent a military doctor to treat us in time, otherwise His Highness would have been in critical danger that time. "

The emperor looked at Jiang Chen and nodded constantly:

"I will remember the life-saving kindness you Jiang family gave Fan Yao in my heart, and I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity in the future."

Jiang Chen quickly said:

"Your Majesty, you don't have to say this. We saved Fan Yao because we couldn't bear to see him being harmed by traitors. Is it because we wanted to repay His Majesty? If we do this in the future, don't mention it again."

After the queen returned to her palace, her sister had not left yet. When she saw her coming back, she hurriedly went up to greet her and asked anxiously:

"Queen, what's going on? What did the emperor say?"

The queen shook her head and said:

"Sister, I knew the emperor would not give me this face. As soon as he heard that I came to plead for Han'er, he immediately refused. Think about it, how could he let go of his son's murderer. I knew it would be in vain if I went.”

The princess immediately burst into tears and said while crying:

"Queen, what should we do? We can't just watch Han'er being executed. He is my lifeblood. Queen, please come up with a solution for me. The prince left early, and it was because of our mother and son that we depended on each other for our lives. Step by step, how could the emperor take Han'er's life regardless of family ties? No, I have to go to the emperor in person. If he doesn't agree to let Han'er go, I will die in front of him. ”

The queen immediately took her sister's hand and said:

"It won't work if I go, so what can you do if you go? Do you think he will listen to you? Let's sit down and think about how to rescue Han'er."

The princess quickly wiped the tears on her face and said to her:

"Do you have a way to save Han'er? Tell me quickly and listen."

The queen looked at her impatient sister and said:

"Let's find a way first and go to the prison to see him. Then we will..."

Because of the emperor's order, Yeluhan was imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple. The guards checked every level of the building so that not even a fly could get in.

The queen and her sister came to the cell with a eunuch and a man with a low hat beside him. He was blocked in front of the door by guards.

"Stop, the imperial court's felons are being held here. Your Excellency has said that no one is allowed in."

The queen couldn't help but raise her hand and slap the man in the face, pointed at his nose and cursed:

"You dog slave, how dare you even stop me? Why don't you open your dog eyes and see who I am?"

The princess pointed at the queen and said to the two guards:

"This is the Empress, you stopped us without even asking who it is. Do you think you don't want the head on your head? Even if Master Wu from Dali Temple is here, he wouldn't dare not let the Empress in. Hurry up. We opened the cell door and just went in to talk. We brought some food for the people inside, and I brought the basket over for them to check."

The two guards were a little confused after being slapped by the queen. He stammered and said to the emperor:

"You said you are the queen. Do you have our Master Wu's handwriting? As long as you have it, I will put you in immediately."

The queen took out a box from her sleeves, handed it to the eunuch beside her and said:

"Let those two dog slaves open their dog eyes and see if I am the queen."

The eunuch agreed, took the queen's ribbon, came to the two guards and said:

"Take a good look, who else besides the Queen has this treasure in their hands."

The two guards saw a piece of pure white jade inside the box, with the word "Queen" engraved on it. Immediately his legs went weak, he knelt down and said:

"I didn't know that it was the Queen who arrived, but I realized that I was guilty."

The queen looked at the two servants and said:

"Can I go in now?"

The two people quickly said:

"My queen, please come in, I don't dare."

The queen waved her sleeves and walked in. The two guards ordered the people inside to open the door of the cell where Yeluhan was imprisoned.

The eunuch beside the queen called the guards aside. He slowly took out a few ingots from his arms and gave them to the people in front of him and said:

"You guys have been working hard in this hellish place all day. This is a little bit of kindness from the Queen. Please accept it."

Those few people had never seen such a big ingot before, and their eyes shone brightly. They nodded and bowed their heads and thanked:

"Thank you, Queen, thank you, sir."
