The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl
Chapter 266 The emperor suspected that Qinghe was a spy sent by a neighboring country!
After the morning court session, Lord Yan came to the back house to pay his respects to his mother.
During the casual conversation, he said inadvertently: "Mom, don't you like embroidery? Recently, I know that there is an embroiderer who is not very old, but she is already a top master. Her embroidery skills are unparalleled. I asked her to embroider a table screen as a gift for His Majesty. Not only was His Majesty very happy, but he also immediately ordered someone to summon her to the palace..."
Madam Yan, who had an elegant appearance, put down the teacup in her hand and said with a kind smile, "Oh, really? It seems that this girl must be very talented and has been instructed by a master since she was a child."
Master Yan nodded and said, "Well, we have a table screen at home that was embroidered by her. My son asked someone to bring it over to show you!"
As Lord Yan said this, he ordered the maid to go to his study and bring back the double-sided embroidered screen.
The maids turned around and left, and soon brought over the "Pine and Crane Longevity Painting".
After Madam Yan came closer to take a closer look, she turned around and asked Lord Yan, "What's the name of that embroiderer?"
Lord Yan was startled, "I'm not sure about this son. It was Shixun who went there at the time. I'll ask him when I get back."
Madam Yan said, "Okay, ask him to ask if the girl is free and invite her to come home. I want to have a good chat with her."
……
In the evening, Master Yan said to his son, "Xun'er, your grandmother wants to meet that girl. Go to the Xi family tomorrow and ask her to come to our house when she is free."
Yan Shixun nodded and said, "Okay, grandma loves embroidery the most. Now I have finally found someone who can talk to her. I will go and get her tomorrow."
The next day.
Yan Shixun came to the Xi family in a carriage, but unexpectedly he came empty-handed.
Mr. Xi said that Qinghe was taken away by someone!
Yan Shixun was stunned for a moment, then asked anxiously, "Who did you say took him away?"
Xi Tianci said, "Someone from the palace came to pick her up and said the emperor wanted to see her."
……
Inside the palace, the eunuch led Qing He to Zhaoyang Palace and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the embroiderer you wanted to see is here..."
Qing He stepped forward and saluted, "I, a commoner, pay my respects to His Majesty!"
The old emperor raised his head and took a look casually. Suddenly, he was stunned! With an expression of disbelief on his face, he asked in a trembling voice, "What's your name?"
Qing He lowered her eyelashes and said, "Your Majesty, my name is Yao Qing He."
The emperor asked again: "Did you embroider that table screen?"
Qing He nodded, "It was embroidered by a commoner girl."
The emperor, who was over sixty years old, suddenly had tears in his eyes and said in a choked voice: "You look exactly like the girl on the screen!"
Qinghe was stunned after hearing this and didn't understand what the emperor meant.
The emperor looked at her beautiful and fair little face and explained softly, "In fact, the scene you embroidered is a memory of my youth... I was only fourteen years old at that time, and was sent by my father to a neighboring country as a hostage. There I met the love of my life, the girl on the table screen. You two look exactly the same, without a single difference..."
Qing He asked softly and clearly, "Your Majesty, what is the name of that girl, and where is she now?"
After hearing this, the emperor's face suddenly darkened. After a long silence, he slowly said, "She is dead!"
"what!"
Qinghe was shocked after hearing this, and then a look of great regret appeared on her face!
The emperor asked again: "Are you married?"
Qinghe shook her head!
"Have you ever been engaged?"
Qinghe shook her head again, thinking that this old emperor was so strange. Why did he suddenly ask these questions without any reason?
She took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I am not a native of this country."
The emperor looked surprised and asked, "You are not from our country? Then why do you speak our dialect?"
Qing He said calmly, "My grandmother taught me when I was a child. I am from Shunzhao Country. I got separated from my family while fleeing. Later, I met some bad guys on Ningjiang River. I was rescued by a wealthy businessman passing by and brought here."
The emperor was silent for a moment, then his face suddenly changed! He shouted sternly: "Are you a spy sent by the Miao family?"
Qing He was stunned, "Who is the Miao family?"
The emperor showed a look of contempt on his face, and sneered, "It must be that the Miao family saw that you are good-looking, so they sent you here as an undercover agent!"
Qing He was even more confused after hearing this. "Be an undercover agent? What kind of undercover agent?"
The emperor sneered, "Stop pretending! I almost fell for your trick! Someone, take this imposter away! Hand her over to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation tomorrow to find out why the Miao family sent her here!"
Before Qing He could even come to terms with her confusion, several eunuchs came in from outside and shoved her away...
Yanfu.
Yan Shixun was reporting to his father that he had made a wasted trip today, when a butler suddenly came in and said, "Sir, the son of the Xi family came over and said that the emperor suddenly ordered his father to be arrested! He said that he was suspected of colluding with Shunzhaoguo under the guise of doing business and bringing a woman back to the country with the intention of murdering the emperor!"
"Ah?" Lord Yan was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly ordered: "Let him in quickly!"
"Yes."
After a while, Xi Tianci came in.
After arriving in front of Lord Yan, her knees suddenly weakened and she knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Lord Yan, please save my father! After the palace sent someone to take the embroiderer away today, they suddenly sent someone to say that they suspected that the embroiderer was a spy sent by a neighboring country, so they also arrested my father! Please find a way to save him!"
Yan Siming was shocked after hearing this!
He presented that table screen as a tribute to the emperor. If there was really something wrong with the embroiderer, wouldn't he be implicated as well?
He hurriedly ordered, "Come here, prepare the sedan chair! I need to go to the palace!"
The butler agreed and turned to leave.
An hour later, Yan Siming, with his brows tightly knitted together, hurriedly came to the outside of Zhaoyang Palace.
After the eunuch went in to report, he came out and said, "Master Yan, please come in!"
Yan Siming walked into the hall with a worried look on his face and found that the emperor was looking at a map on the wall.
He walked over and knelt on the ground with a plop, saying earnestly: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty! Although I am responsible for my negligence, I did not know that the embroiderer was a spy sent by a neighboring country. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"
The emperor turned his back to him and remained silent. After a long while, he slowly turned around, waved his hand and said, "Stand up, sit down and talk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yan Siming kowtowed heavily, then stood up and sat down on a chair beside him.
The emperor looked at him sullenly for a moment and then said, "I believe you will never have any second thoughts...but I can't say the same about the embroiderer."
Yan Siming heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this! He hurriedly asked cautiously, "Why does your Majesty say that?"
The emperor sneered and said, "Why would a weak and innocent girl like her appear in Ningjiang for no reason? This is the first reason! The second reason is why she was so coincidentally met by that rich businessman and brought to Huashu Kingdom... There must be a reason behind this!"
Yan Siming said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is right! But if we conclude that she is a spy sent by a neighboring country based on this one reason, isn't it a bit..."
The emperor looked at him coldly and said, "And the most important thing is that she looks exactly like my first love when I was a teenager!"
