Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

The emperor closed the wooden box.

The one who came in was He Li.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you~" He Li saluted with both hands.

The emperor carefully examined the purse in his hand, then looked up at He Li with uncontrollable surprise in his eyes: "Tenth brother, where did you get this?"

He Li saluted with both hands: "Your Majesty, this was given to me by my mother-in-law Shen Ping. She told me to hand it over to Your Majesty personally."

The emperor looked puzzled. He couldn't understand why Shen Ping didn't take out this thing yesterday.

You know, since this thing is in Shen Ping's hands, she knows the whereabouts of her daughter.

If I can find my daughter, and if Shen Ping offers this as a condition in exchange for my tenth brother leaving the capital, I will definitely agree.

Why is she giving this important thing to her to He Li now?

"Where is your mother-in-law now?" The emperor felt that the matter was not simple and he couldn't wait to meet Shen Ping and ask about the whereabouts of her daughter.

"Your Majesty, she was taken away by Constable Gao from Fengtian Prefecture." He Li also looked anxious.

"What! What is going on?" The emperor was shocked. He finally understood why Shen Ping gave this thing to him.

"Hong Tao, the son of the Censor Hong Chang, said that his mother-in-law and a group of people were maliciously causing trouble and injured several of them. He also said that his mother-in-law was an enemy spy~"

He Li gave a brief account of what happened, because he himself didn't know exactly what happened.

If you say that the person was injured in the front, this matter is not serious. The serious thing is that Mr. Hong actually said that my mother was an enemy spy.

The border war has been tense recently, and the two sides are at the point of drawing swords. Any unfavorable news at this time will lead to a fierce battle.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you a question. What did my mother-in-law give you?"

"Ah~"

The emperor sighed, his eyes dimmed: "It's a long story, you were less than nine years old at that time~"

"But the most urgent thing right now~"

Suddenly the emperor thought of something, and changed the subject, looking at He Li with sharp eyes: "Pass on my handwritten order to bring your mother out of Fengtian Prefecture. This matter is left to you to handle."

"Su Desheng, please prepare your pen and ink~"

After hearing this, Su Desheng quickly bent down and went to the desk to prepare writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone. After he was ready, he stood aside with his hands hanging down.

The emperor stood up, walked to the desk, pondered for a while, then picked up the pen and began to write with great vigor.

It was finished in a short while. Seeing that the ink was not dry yet, the emperor picked it up and blew on it, then handed it to He Li: "Say this to Prefect Ma when you see him." Then he whispered a few words to He Li, who nodded.

Looking at He Li's back, the emperor felt both expectant and worried. He was expecting that he might be able to see his daughter soon.

What worries me is that I don’t know how she has been living these years, whether she is living well, and I don’t know if she hates me.

But compared with the previous waiting, these are nothing. Suddenly, the emperor thought of Xia Wan again. He hadn't seen her for a long time and didn't know how she was doing now.

"Su Desheng, accompany me to a place." As he said that, the emperor walked towards the door.

"I obey your command~"

Su Desheng followed closely and saw that the emperor looked different from usual since he was holding the purse given to him by the Tenth Prince. Su Desheng didn't dare to say anything more.

……

Fengtian Prefecture is less than two miles away from Yunlai Inn. Along the way, Shen Ping and his group attracted many people's attention, and many people whispered to each other.

After all, looking at the situation, with Captain Gao leading the group and a dozen guards following them, it was obvious that these people must have committed something serious.

In the crowd, a pair of worried eyes followed Shen Ping and the others closely. It was Lan Hua, and she didn't go far.

After leaving the teahouse, she had nowhere to go. Moreover, it was even more difficult for her to bring her father with her. It was inconvenient for her to go anywhere.

Moreover, she didn't know whether Master Hong would come back to cause trouble for Madam Shen, so she didn't dare to go far and kept observing secretly.

Sure enough, not long after, Master Hong was seen leading a dozen constables to the Yunlai Inn in a threatening manner.

But what made Lanhua feel strange was that it was a little boy who rescued him at that time, but now he was nowhere to be seen.

However, there was a little girl among the group of people. Lanhua looked at the little girl carefully and found that she looked familiar.

After a closer look, isn't this the little boy who helped him out? Why is he dressed in women's clothes now?

However, Lanhua thought that she probably changed into women's clothes just to avoid Master Hong and his group.

For fear of being seen by Master Hong and his group, Lanhua quickly hid in the crowd.

I heard those people in the crowd who didn't know the inside story saying that it was Madam Shen and her group who maliciously caused trouble and beat up Master Hong.

Lanhua was really angry because they had no idea what caused this incident.

Lanhua felt uneasy at the thought that they might be implicated because of her and end up in jail.

After all, this matter was caused by herself, and she had the obligation to make it clear, but Lanhua didn't know what to do, so she thought of the teahouse owner.

"Orchid, let's go!"

Lanhua's blind father may be blind, but he has sharp ears! Listening to the discussions of the people around him, he knew that the people who helped his daughter out of the predicament were arrested by the government.

No one knows a daughter better than her father. How can a father not know what his daughter is thinking?

He knew that Lanhua wanted to go to Fengtian Prefecture, but how could that be possible? The officials there all protected each other.

Just now, he heard someone in the crowd say that Mr. Hong's father was the Censor-in-Chief, and his mother was a distant relative of Madam Ma of Fengtian Prefecture, and the two families had always had contacts with each other.

If they are caught, all white people will turn black.

Lanhua shook her head: "Dad, I can't leave. If I leave like this, wouldn't it be helping the tyrant, and what's the difference between me and Master Hong."

Lanhua knew what her father was worried about, but she couldn't just leave like that. She thought, if they hadn't saved her, how could they have gotten into this situation?

"Ah~"

The blind father sighed, his daughter was right, they were her benefactors, if it weren't for them, they didn't know what suffering they would be suffering now.

Seeing that her father was silent, Lanhua knew that he agreed. She planned to go to Fengtian Mansion alone, but she was worried about leaving her father outside, after all, her father couldn't see.

After thinking about it, Lanhua decided to entrust her father to the owner of the teahouse.

The owner of the teahouse was worried because the people he sent out came back saying that they couldn't find Lanhua. Unexpectedly, Lanhua came to him on her own at this time.

After hearing what Lanhua said, the shopkeeper was still a little worried. In fact, he felt a little complicated.

Since I hope Lanhua can explain it clearly, when Madam Shen comes out, I can do him a favor.

But Lanhua was also a poor person, and he was afraid that he would not be able to rescue Madam Shen and the others, and would instead lose Lanhua.

Seeing that Lanhua was determined, the shopkeeper didn't say anything else and could only tell her that he would look after her father.

"Okay, shopkeeper, then I'll leave my father to you." Lanhua looked at the shopkeeper gratefully, turned and walked towards Fengtian Mansion.
