Seeing Emperor Yin De sitting there, stroking the jade ring on his mother's finger without saying anything, Sun Cai had no choice but to continue speaking tremblingly, "My biological sister has been missing for more than ten years. In these ten years, my parents have been missing. I think about my sister every moment, miss my sister, and find various connections, just to get my sister back home quickly and not let her suffer outside."

"It has been ten years since I heard the news about my sister again. It was at the end of the birthday banquet of His Royal Highness the Second Prince and the Third Princess. The people around Emperor Xiling came to Wei Chen with a strange woman. The woman looked very beautiful. She is unfamiliar, but when he saw the small mark on the back of her neck, Wei Chen was sure that she was Wei Chen's biological sister."

"My sister I haven't seen for more than ten years. When I saw her again, she was in the hands of the emperor of another country. Wei Chen really couldn't believe it, but he didn't know what to do about this matter. "

Sun Cai's face was filled with tears and his body was shaking badly. "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is really afraid. He is afraid that his sister will lose his life like this. He is even more afraid that his sister will lose his life because of Wei Chen's decision. Wei Chen is really afraid." I dare not not follow Emperor Xiling’s plan.”

Sun Cai's head had been smashed, but what's the use? What happened had already happened, the mistake had been made, and His Majesty was not kind to him. When death was about to happen, he chose to tell the truth, and that was all. The friendship between king and minister.

"Every word you said was ordered by Emperor Xiling, right?" Ji Xingwang asked standing aside.

Sun Cai's tone was a little frightened, "Yes, Your Majesty, this hailstorm is a natural disaster, but such a natural disaster has happened before. It has nothing to do with His Highness the Second Prince. It was because I was confused for a moment that I committed such a deception." It’s a sin.”

"Are you deceiving the emperor? You are treason!" Shangguan Xiaolin pointed a dagger at Sun Cai's forehead and roared angrily.

Deceiving the emperor and neglecting one's superiors is already a major crime that implicates the nine clans. If treason is added to the list, the crime will only be even greater.

Sun Cai also knew what he had done, but in order for his sister to live, Sun Cai had no choice.

Now facing the emperor's personal questioning, he actually expected his majesty to be noble and let his sister go.

But how is that possible? Emperor Xiling wanted to kill him, so how could he let his sister go?

I'm afraid that without His Majesty taking action himself, his sister would have been dead and dismembered.

This time, he was confused after all!

I thought I could save my sister's life, but I didn't expect that my own life and that of my family would be at risk.

"Xiao Lin, put Sun Cai in a water prison and surround Sun's mansion. He is not allowed to die or make any big noise." Emperor Yin De gave a low voice.

Shangguan Xiaolin immediately understood that His Majesty actually chose to keep Sun Cai's life, which showed that this life was still valuable to Your Majesty.

Shangguan Xiaolin quietly took Sun Cai down. Emperor Yinde stood up and looked at Ji Xingwang, who was standing bowed aside, "How is the injury?"

Ji Xingwang said politely, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am not in any serious condition."

"Then take a good two days' rest. You won't have to go to morning pilgrimage in these two days."

Ji Xingwang responded respectfully. It seemed that His Majesty deliberately suppressed the matter tonight.

The matter in the General's Mansion was indeed not a big deal. Emperor Yinde hid it from everyone, but not from Su Qingyao.

Last night, Su Qingyao made sure that Emperor Yinde had left the palace before she dared to rest. Today was another day of greetings. Su Qingyao woke up very early and only slept for two or three hours.

After waking up, she saw no one next to her and knew that Yun Shu had already gotten up.

"Empress, are you awake? Her Royal Highness the Third Princess has gone to the side hall to review books with Her Royal Highness the Second Prince and Young Master Shangguan." Zi Qiu came in with several maids and began to help Su Qingyao wash and change clothes, saying at the side.

Su Qingyao nodded slightly. The weather was bad, and the children did not have to go to the study room. They only studied in their own palace. However, they did not slack off. They were all obedient. They got up early and started studying. No one was lazy.

Su Qingyao looked out the window. The hailstones were indeed a little smaller, but they were still falling and had no intention of stopping.

Usually when the weather is bad, Su Qingyao will ask someone to send a message and stop to say hello, but that didn't happen today.

Su Qingyao really wanted to see how many concubines in the harem could be disrespected by her, the imperial concubine, with just one confrontation, or to see how disrespectful they could be.

After being served by Ziqiu and put on the palace attire of the imperial concubine, Su Qingyao was not in a hurry to pass on breakfast, but went to the side hall to take a look at the three children who were studying hard.

"If you live high in a temple, you worry about the people..." Chengjue was reciting poems. After seeing the figure of his mother-in-law Su Qingyao, he lowered his head and snickered a few times. He seemed a little shy.

When Shixu was carrying things, he liked to carry them with his eyes closed, and he didn't notice Su Qingyao coming to see them at all.

When Yun Shu saw Su Qingyao getting up, she thought of running over to act coquettishly and let her mother and concubine hug her. Chengjue, who was sitting next to her, saw her little thoughts and quickly held her arm.

Yun Shu pouted her mouth and turned her attention to the book again.

Su Qingyao couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene. Chengjue is so sensible. In a year or two, she will be able to help her mother-in-law educate her younger brothers and sisters.

Su Qingyao looked back and saw Xiao Xia Zi standing not far away with a bow. The palace people were doing their errands in an orderly manner. Su Qingyao used her eyes to signal Xiao Xia Zi to come into the palace to answer.

Xiao Xiazi directly relayed Ye Jiu's words clearly and told Su Qingyao everything that happened in the General's Mansion last night.

"Xingwang was injured? Is it serious?" Su Qingyao was so anxious that she almost stood up from the soft couch.

"My Lady, please be patient. Master Ji's injuries are not serious. He just needs to take good care of himself for a while. It's Sun Cai. If it weren't for the antidote given by Ye Jiu, Sun Cai would have been saved by Dr. Li's medical skills alone. Come here, I’m afraid it will be even more difficult.”

"As long as he is rescued, he will tell the truth only after he is rescued." Su Qingyao sneered.

"Your Majesty imprisoned people in the water prison, but there was no imperial decree to the outside world. Do you suspect that Sun Cai still didn't tell the truth?" Zi Qiu said his doubts on the side.

"This is one thing, and on the other hand, maybe your Majesty and I have the same idea." Su Qingyao turned to look out the window, the hail continued to fall, "Your Majesty wants to see who wants to take this It’s a big deal, make a fuss about it.”

Ziqiu and Xiaoxiazi nodded. Now His Majesty's favorite is His Highness the Second Prince. This has blocked the way of some people. They finally have this opportunity, can they let it go?
