At this time, the servant hurriedly came to inform, "Second Madam, the Emperor, the Emperor is here! And the eldest young master, in short, there are so many people..."

Yun Zhihan fixed her makeup and came out slowly, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's go and take a look!"

"Yes!" The servant followed her closely. Since he entered the Xie family, he had never seen such a big scene. Even the emperor came, and he brought so many guards and ministers with him.

He was so scared that he almost died, but the Second Madam was still so calm, it was incredible!

This matter soon reached Yuan's ears.

"Madam, something bad has happened. The Emperor is here! He is accompanied by the Young Master and other ministers. They asked us to go out and greet him."

"What? Why is the emperor here?"

Yuan was very panicked. Could it be that Xie Boyuan had caused trouble outside? If so, what if she was implicated? She didn't want to die yet.

In an instant, she suddenly remembered that Bai Yuan came to their house in person yesterday to remind everyone not to say anything nonsense, otherwise he would take their entire family's lives.

"So that's how it is!" Yes, he must have gotten into trouble outside. It's over, it's over this time!

"Madam, please go quickly. We can't keep the emperor waiting!" the maid urged.

"Let's go." Yuan stood up, not even bothering to put on her makeup, "Listen, don't say anything for a while, understand?"

"Madam, rest assured. I am just a servant. How dare I say anything nonsense in front of the emperor?"

"Yeah." Yuan was extremely panicked. Her hands and feet were cold and her whole body was shaking for no apparent reason. Could Bai Yuan have committed a heinous crime that would implicate the entire nine generations of his clan?

All of a sudden, everyone in the Xie family gathered at the gate to welcome the emperor.

Only Old Madam Xie and Nanny Liang did not come, because the moment Old Madam Xie heard the news, she fainted from fright, and Nanny Liang was taking care of her.

Yun Zhihan looked calm. If she was lucky today, she could at least deal with two people and help Yuan'er resolve a bad fate.

"The Emperor has arrived!" the young eunuch shouted, and everyone in the Xie family knelt on the ground.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When everyone stood up, the emperor saw Yun Zhihan at first sight, not for any other reason but because her appearance was so moving.

Her lips are tender and juicy, her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and she is lively and energetic, as if she can see through people's hearts with just one look.

"Xie Shidu, who is this?"

"Your Majesty, this is my mother."

Yun Zhihan took the initiative to step forward and saluted, "I, Yun, greet your majesty."

"No gift!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have prepared tea for you and the others. Please take a seat."

"it is good!"

As they spoke, a group of people marched into the main hall of the Xie family.

The emperor took a sip of the tea brewed by Yun Zhihan himself. The aroma of the tea permeated into his heart, and his mood improved a lot.

"Yun, do you know why I came here?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know. Please give me some advice."

"Minister Zhao said that Xie's mansion is hiding a Dongyue countryman. Do you know?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know what the people of Dongyue look like. If Lord Zhao has any doubts, you can search the Xie Mansion. All the servants of the Xie family are here."

"Oh?" The emperor nodded slightly and looked at Zhao Tuo, "Minister Zhao, is there anyone you know here?"

Zhao Tuo had long been mesmerized by Yun Zhihan's beauty, so how could he have the heart to look at Dongyue people? And he also knew that Tuoba Hong was not a fool, and he would have run away by now.

But he still wanted to pretend, and shouted to his servants, "Look up! Let me have a good look!"

At the command, the servants all looked up in panic. They didn't know what had happened, let alone what the Dong Yue people were. They only knew that they should not speak nonsense from today, otherwise their clan would be exterminated.

Zhao Tuo pretended to be a fascinated person and checked the appearance of each person carefully. As expected, they were all ordinary people from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, there is none here."

"Yes." The emperor turned to Yun Zhihan and asked, "Is this everyone in the Xie Mansion?"

"Your Majesty, my mother-in-law and Nanny Liang beside her are still in the south room."

"How dare you!" Eunuch Huang shouted angrily, "The Emperor is visiting the Xie family in person, so why shouldn't we come out to greet him?"

Yun Zhihan and other members of the Xie family instantly knelt on the ground.

"In reply to your words, when my mother-in-law heard that the emperor had brought all the ministers and soldiers to the Xie Mansion, she fainted. In order not to disturb the emperor, she did not even dare to invite the palace doctor. She could only ask Madam Liang to stay by her side."

"If the emperor doesn't believe it, can you send someone to check it out?"

"Yes." The emperor ordered, "General Liu, you go with Minister Zhao and Reader Xie."

"Wei Chen obeys!"

The three of them went together and came back after a while.

"Your Majesty, I and others have gone to check. It is indeed as Madam Xie said. Madam Xie is now unconscious. There is only a maid by her side. No one else."

"Yun, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Sit down and talk!"

Yun Zhihan thought she had heard wrongly. This was the emperor, how could she dare to sit down? It was a disaster!

"I don't dare!"

"Why not? I told you to sit down, so you sit down. Are you going to disobey my order?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me a seat." After saying that, she sat on the stool below.

Yuan looked up at Yun Zhihan and felt very unhappy. Why could this woman sit while they could only kneel? She really got all the good things.

"Minister Zhao, what else do you have to say now?"

"Your Majesty, I think the people of Dongyue have already fled!"

"Nonsense!" The emperor was furious. "Before the morning court was over, I brought people to Xie's house. All the ministers were present. Could it be that I sent someone to come to the Xie family to tip them off?"

"I dare not!" Zhao Tuo quickly knelt down to explain, "I have absolutely no such intention. Please calm down, Your Majesty."

The one who was most scared at this time was Zhao Feng. It didn't matter whether his son died or not, but nothing could happen to their Zhao family.

"Your Majesty, I dare to say something."

"allow!"

"Since we haven't found the person yet, I think it's better to leave early. Madam Xie still needs to be treated by the imperial physician. It would be bad if we delay the treatment."

"That's true!"

Just as the emperor was about to order his departure, Zhao Tuo was unwilling to give in and pleaded, "Your Majesty, just because the Dongyue people are not here doesn't mean that he didn't leave any evidence or letters."

"I think we need to investigate this thoroughly to prevent future troubles."

"Zhao Tuo! Have you had enough of this?" the emperor rebuked. "If it weren't for your Zhao family's contributions, how could I trust you?"

"emperor!"

Zhao Tuo wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Zhao Feng. Does this son really want to piss him off to death before he will give up?

At this moment, Yun Zhihan stood up and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"That's what you say!"

Every time Yun spoke, his attitude would improve. He would rather thank Songlin for not wanting to take a concubine for all these years. With such a virtuous beauty by his side, life is enough.
