Yao Shu secretly thought it was not good.

This scene happened to be seen by the emperor. The emperor stepped forward without saying anything. He just accepted Concubine Shu and took her back to the palace.

When the imperial edict of the grounding came soon, it seemed that the stone in their hearts finally fell, and Yao Shu and the Queen breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Concubine Shu was quietly meeting with the Minister of Rites.

The two of them were preparing to discuss the next thing, but they found a figure hiding furtively outside the house.

It turned out to be Princess Chang An!

The Minister of Rites winked, but the secret guard lurking in the dark suddenly took action and knocked out Princess Chang'an.

This person's figure flashed and appeared behind Princess Chang'an.

With a slash of the knife, Princess Chang'an fell directly to the ground.

Seeing that Princess Chang'an was still not coming back, Princess Chang'an's maid secretly found Yao Shu late at night, crying so hard that the pear blossoms were raining.

"Mrs. Shen is not good, not good!"

"Why are you so panicked? What's going on?" Yao Shu asked doubtfully.

"Mrs. Shen! Our princess is missing! She hasn't returned to the palace yet. I really don't know what to do..." The maid's eyes were filled with tears. After all, the only person she could trust now was Yao Shu.

Yao Shu was surprised when she heard this and opened her eyes wide.

The princess is missing? !

Shen Fugui happened to be nearby, and he was extremely anxious when he heard this.

Yao Shu couldn't think of a good solution for the mysterious disappearance of the princess. In the silent night, only the low sobs of the maid echoed around.

While Yao Shu was in a state of distress, Shen Fugui hurriedly wanted to leave.

"Lao Wu, don't be anxious first, discuss it with your mother before taking any action."

Yao Shu saw this and persuaded. Shen Fugui turned a deaf ear and still left home in a hurry.

Yao Shu looked at Lao Wu's retreating figure, feeling even more uneasy. She always felt that tonight was an unusual night.

Shen Fugui sneaked into the palace and began to look for Princess Chang'an in every corner. He was on guard everywhere and always careful, but in the end he was discovered by the Minister of Rites.

Breaking into the palace late at night was a big deal. Shen Fugui was beaten and temporarily detained in prison.

Yao Shu was very anxious at home. After hearing the news, she was shocked and rushed into the palace to meet the emperor.

"Please calm down, Your Majesty. My son is young and ignorant, so he entered the palace at night. But this is definitely not his original intention, and the Shen family has absolutely no wrongdoing."

But unexpectedly, this made the emperor even more angry: "The state has national laws, and the family has family rules. Entering the palace without permission is a serious crime, so you don't have to plead for him."

"But the Emperor..." Yao Shu wanted to save her, but was interrupted sharply by the Emperor.

"If Mrs. Shen is unwilling to leave, I will ask someone to escort Mrs. Shen out of the palace."

Yao Shu also knew that he was really angry this time and had no choice but to leave the palace.

Since they are unkind, don't blame yourself for being unjust.

Seeing that the preparations are almost complete during this period, let’s start taking action today.

Yao Shu and Shen Nanshan came to the old general's mansion hand in hand.

The old general seemed not to know the purpose of the two men's visit, and greeted them politely as usual: "I am flattered by the sudden visit of you two today."

He dismissed everyone: "Why don't you two sit down and talk to me, the general, about what happened that made you so panicked?"

Yao Shu and Shen Nanshan looked at each other, then narrated what happened during this period, and finally added: "The general also knows that the child has always been naughty, and if something like this happened today, it must have been unintentional, so he still The general said a few good words to the emperor, and I just hope that the emperor can give me a lighter sentence."

"This matter is easy to handle." The general smiled loudly, "The emperor is kind-hearted. When Xiao Wang explains the whole story to him, he will naturally let the son return to Zhao intact, but..."

He looked troubled, as if he had something to hide.

Yao Shu felt relieved, stood up and saluted him, and said solemnly: "I have one more thing to do." She paused and continued, "The general is dedicated to the people, and his heart is to the Holy One. Now that someone is causing trouble, the prince will not Just sit back and do nothing.”

After the general heard the outline of what happened, he went to look for Huang Shang without stopping.

The two people sat opposite each other. Prince Jing said warmly: "There is no need to be busy. I have something to ask of your Majesty."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and glared at the Yao Shu couple who were following behind him. When he looked at the general, his expression was gentle: "General, there is no need to be polite. I have already said that you are kind to the royal family, so there is no need to ask for help. "

The general looked troubled and seemed to be in a dilemma. After a long time, he muttered: "To be honest, what I want is related to the imprisonment of the youngest son of the Shen family."

The emperor frowned for a moment, and the eyebrows that had relaxed just now were filled with anger again: "General, does he know what this kid has done? He sneaked into my harem with a murder weapon! If the minister hadn't stopped him in time, I don't know that he was going to do something to my beloved concubine. Are you doing something wrong or do you want to secretly assassinate me?"

Yao Shu's heart skipped a beat. If the emperor wanted to understand this, then the crime would be serious.

The general smiled slightly and said in the same tone as before: "How do you know that the minister is really innocent? The youngest son of the Shen family, Shen Fugui, has always been obedient and observant of etiquette. He and the princess are in love with each other. Even the queen has approved of this marriage. He must not be able to do it. Such a treasonous thing happened!"

"Besides, the decision of where the Lord will drive every night is made only when the cards are turned over that night. How is he, the son of a commoner, supposed to know? This assassination cannot be taken seriously."

"The Holy One should know that this harem is always heavily guarded. How could he, a foreigner, sneak into the palace quietly only to be discovered by the Minister of Rites."

The emperor frowned: "General, what do you mean?"

"I don't have any other intentions. I just thought that the Minister of Rites has a very good relationship with Concubine Shu. Even the people in the palace already know each other's needs!"

The emperor was about to retort, but when he looked into the general's smiling but murderous eyes, he couldn't help but shuddered as he thought of something, "You mean?"

The general stood up and bowed his hands to the general again: "Your Majesty, please be clear."

The emperor seemed to understand what Prince Jing had left to say.

This is what Yao Shu was waiting for. She knelt down straight, her back straight, and said seriously: "The common people want to ask your majesty to marry Princess Chang'an to my son."

After these events in the past few days, Yao Shu once again realized the fact that being with a king is like being with a tiger. She did not want the Shen family to have any more involvement with the royal family.

"Presumptuous!" The emperor's face instantly became livid, "Don't you know that Chang An is my most beloved daughter?"

"The common people know it." Yao Shu was neither humble nor arrogant.

Before she finished speaking, Princess Chang'an's personal maid suddenly broke in: "Your Majesty, please atone for your sins. This slave is really desperate and has no choice but to disturb Your Majesty. Please atone for your sins! Princess Chang'an, the princess, she, she is missing!"
