Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt

If he had not been familiar with the writings of sages and owed them favors, Grand Tutor Sun would have really wanted to go to their house and call them to task.

"Daughter, since Pavilion Master Liang is not interested in romantic relationships, why not just let it go? Why make it harder for yourself?"

Sun Youwei showed a bitter expression, covered her chest and said: "But my daughter just can't forget the way he saved me. If I marry someone else, I will not be willing."

Grand Tutor Sun sighed deeply, and then said, "The Queen's birthday will be in a few days, and many officials and young men in the capital will be there. You can go to the banquet on behalf of your father, and take a look at whether there is a suitable husband. If there is, that would be great. If not, you can do business as you wish."

Sun Youwei was delighted when she heard this, "Okay, it's settled then."

With her dress fluttering, Sun Youwei left happily, leaving Master Sun shaking his head helplessly.

Meanwhile, the Royal Palace.

In the imperial study, the emperor was reviewing memorials to the emperor's memorials when suddenly a young eunuch came in to report.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Zhennan is outside the door asking to see you."

The emperor who was sitting at his desk raised his head. He looked to be in his forties, with a gentle face. Rather than the image of a moody emperor, he looked more like an elegant gentleman.

"Quick, let him in."

As he spoke, the emperor stood up and walked down from the platform.

Shen Xuanheng came in from outside and was about to salute, but the emperor held him and said earnestly: "Didn't I tell you before that if you are not in good health, don't be so formal."

Shen Xuanheng smiled slightly and said quickly:

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you for everything."

The emperor waved his hands and sighed, "If I have to thank you, it's me who should thank you, the Zhennan Palace. If it weren't for your father's dedication and fighting against the enemy outside the Great Wall at such an old age, there would be no peace in Daliang. What a pity..."

The emperor sighed, looked at Shen Xuanheng's pale face and said, "It's a pity that you have been sick since childhood and have a bad health. I have sought out famous doctors but none of them could cure you... But I heard that your new wife has been helping you take care of your health, and you are feeling better now."

Shen Xuanheng was stunned when he heard this, and said with a warm face: "My wife is indeed helping me with my recovery, but I wonder if the emperor has ever heard of it?"

The emperor smiled and said slowly: "The third brother told me. He has been very close to your nephew Shen Chejin recently, so he heard some things."

Shen Xuanheng's eyes showed a subtle suspicion, and then he revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "I see, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am now under the care of my wife, so I am fine for the time being, but I am afraid I will not live long."

"Ugh."

The emperor showed a look of regret and sighed, "Well, well, it's a borrowed blessing, and I'll enjoy it for one more day."

After saying that, the emperor looked at the steps to the side and ordered, "Hurry up and find a seat."

The young eunuch hurried over and quickly brought two chairs. The emperor took Shen Xuanheng's wrist warmly and sat down with him.

Shen Xuanheng took out the memorial from his arms and presented it with both hands.

"Your Majesty, I have come here recently to report to you the death of Xu Younian, the Minister of Justice. The reasons have been written down in the memorial for your personal review."

The emperor showed no surprise when he heard this. He had heard about Xu Younian's affairs yesterday.

The emperor frowned and looked at it for a while, then said in a deep voice: "It is a pity that Xu Aiqing died, but since the main culprit Xue Tao has bitten his tongue and committed suicide, this matter has been explained. I will think about how to deal with this matter, and you don't have to worry about it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuanheng cupped his hands and said apologetically, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

"emperor."

The eunuch who had just reported the matter suddenly came in again and said in a shrill voice, "The Third Prince is outside the door asking to see you. He said he has something important to report."

The emperor frowned upon hearing this and said unhappily: "Xuan Heng is here, I don't have time to see him, let him come another day."

"This……"

The young eunuch hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince said that this matter concerns the Crown Prince, so it's a good opportunity to talk about it in front of him."

"Ok?"

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then slowly said, "What could his matter have to do with Xuan Heng? Forget it, let him in."

"Yes."

The young eunuch responded and left. Shen Xuanheng seemed to be thinking about something, wondering what Xiao Yujue was going to do.

A moment later, the third prince walked into the imperial study, first knelt down to pay his respects to the emperor, then nodded to Han Xiao and Shen Xuanheng as a greeting.

The emperor looked at the third prince and said, "Tell me what's the matter."

The Third Prince cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Justice died tragically yesterday. This morning, his family members came to the Ministry of Justice to cry and demand an explanation, and even used their connections to find me..."

Before the Third Prince could finish speaking, the Emperor raised his hand to interrupt him and threw the memorial in his hand to him.

"Xuan Heng has already written down the cause and effect of the matter. Lord Xu died in the line of duty. I will consider giving him a higher title at the court tomorrow morning."

The third prince opened the memorial and took a look at it, then smiled and looked at Shen Xuanheng.

"Sir, it's not that I don't believe what you wrote in the memorial, but I have heard some other news. It seems that the matter of Lord Xu is not that simple."

"Oh?"

Shen Xuanheng looked suspicious, but he said calmly, "Your Highness, if you have any concerns, please feel free to raise them."

The Third Prince nodded slightly, "Your Highness is upright and honest, so he is naturally not afraid of being questioned. In this case, I will make a fuss about nothing and express my doubts. I hope Your Highness can resolve my doubts."

The emperor was displeased when he heard this, and said angrily: "You are such an ignorant child. The Zhennan princes have been loyal for generations. Can you still deceive me?"

The Third Prince quickly bowed his hands to apologize, "I am very sorry, that is not what I meant, but Minister Xu is a second-rank official after all. If I find any doubts and do not ask for clarification, I am afraid that I will harm my father and the people."

Shen Xuanheng narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little strange. What the third prince said seemed to be logical, but it always made him feel like he was being targeted.

"That's fine. Since His Majesty the Third Prince has doubts, I, as the person involved, should explain it clearly."

The emperor frowned and waved his hand, "Since Xuan Heng doesn't care, then just tell me."

"Yes."

The Third Prince bowed respectfully, then looked at Shen Xuanheng and said slowly, "After the crime happened last night, the patrol camp inspected the scene and found that one of the bodies was a wanted criminal by the court, Zhao Qiankun, who was known as the 'ghost doctor' in the martial arts world. According to the traces left at the scene, Lord Xu's head was smashed by Zhao Qiankun. Your Highness, do you have any explanation for this?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor immediately looked suspicious.

"Zhao Qiankun and Xue Tao are in the same group. Is there anything wrong with Xu Aiqing dying in his hands?"

"Father, you are wise."
