Chapter 354 When will your emperor go to court
"My son, please retire."
When there was no one else in the hall, Zhao Mingyan rubbed his tight forehead.
Apart from lifting Yuan Heng tonight, he recalled the last time he hugged Yuan Heng.
Yuan Heng was actually still in his infancy, a crying baby.
This little guy is very similar to his mother, not in appearance, but in temperament. He is just a timid little crybaby.
And he likes to pester people. If he is pleasant to him, he will hold his arms and not let go. He will hug and coax him wherever he goes.
But he is a prince, and the last thing he should have is weakness.

Ji Qingwu took "Chang Lu" to Prince Yong's Mansion.
She planned to follow the plan of the man behind her and proceed further to see what tricks he was going to play.
In Jinmoju, the lights have not been extinguished since King Yong left.
As soon as the news came back from the palace that King Yong was being held in prison, Ji Qingwu arrived at the palace.
Tao Wanyin stepped forward and took Ji Qingwu's hand.
He said anxiously: "Qingwu, do you know what mistake the prince made? Why was he locked up without incident?"
Half an hour ago, King Yong was sent away by the eunuchs in the palace. He just said that something was urgent, but he didn't expect that something serious had happened.
Ji Qingwu guided her to the seat and said: "Princess, sit down first, don't be anxious, listen to me."
Tao Wanyin didn't understand political affairs, and she also knew that the prison was a place where felons were detained. Just imagining the scene made her feel suffocated and frightened.
"I can't help but worry. The imperial prison is not a place for people to stay. What should I do if the prince is tortured?"
Ji Qingwu pressed her on the chair and said: "Prince Yong was responsible for trying Su Fengyue's case, and he was cruel to him, and almost killed Su Fengyue's life. But before the confession was implemented, the emperor said In anger, he imprisoned King Yong as well."
Tao Wanyin was stunned and didn't understand why King Yong hated Su Xiang so much.
She asked: "Qingwu, where did you hear this news? Is it true?"
Ji Qingwu said: "It should be true. This is what Eunuch Chang Lu told me."
Seeing "Chang Lu" behind her nodding, the last bit of luck Tao Wanyin held in her heart was completely destroyed.
Tao Wanyin had no family, and something happened to the only one she could rely on, King Yong. She was panicked. Only when she saw Ji Qingwu did her mood improve.
As Ji Qingwu spoke, he looked at the attendants in the room and saw no one looked strange. She was about to go to the door to take a look when Tao Wanyin grabbed her sleeve.
"Qingwu, can you stay with me for a while? I'm so scared."
Ji Qingwu nodded, as was her original intention.
For the next two hours, Tao Wanyin couldn't sleep while lying down, and felt flustered while sitting, suffering all the time.
Ji Qingwu and "Chang Lu" looked at each other. He went outside to investigate the situation in Prince Yong's Mansion, and she fell asleep again in a daze.
When the sky is dark and bright.
As soon as Ji Qingwu woke up, he saw Tao Wanyin fidgeting and sighed.
Tao Wanyin said with red eyes: "I'm still worried. I want to pass a sign to the palace to have a look. Qingwu, can you go with me?"
Ji Qingwu did not refuse and simply said: "Okay."
Seeing how readily she agreed, Tao Wanyin found it hard to say: "I, actually I have selfish motives."
"Su Fengyue's condition, I think you may be able to help the prince."
If Su Fengyue really couldn't survive it, King Yong would also suffer.
Ji Qingwu pinched his fingers, lowered his eyes and thought.
That person brought her to Prince Yong's Mansion, not because he wanted to do anything to her in the Prince's Mansion, but because he wanted her to save Su Fengyue?
*
Due to Ji Qingwu's special status, she dressed up as a maid next to Princess Yong, and accompanied Tao Wanyin into the palace along with Chang Lu and others.
Several people were stopped at the gate of the prison.
Even if Princess Yong is a member of the royal family, she cannot visit the imperial prison at will. She must obtain a token from the imperial court.
Tao Wanyin's hope was dashed. She asked the guards guarding the door about King Yong, but they were very strict and refused to reveal anything.
Ji Qingwu said: "Princess, please wait here while I go out."
Tao Wanyin asked worriedly: "Qingwu, do you have any idea?"
Ji Qingwu shook his head and said: "I don't have any good ideas. I plan to try my luck."
"Try your luck?"
Ji Qingwu smiled placatingly at her and said, "Yes, let's see if we can pick up any tokens." She touched the door of Qinzheng Hall all the way.
Emperor Wu Su had not returned from his morning court, and Li Yuzong was not there either. Only Xiao Dongzi was guarding the door.
When he saw the pink skirt appearing in front of him, he thought it was a maid from some palace who didn't know her way around. He waved his whisk and was about to scold someone and leave.
"You don't have a good eye! I didn't see where this place is -"
"Hey, my Miss Ji!" Xiao Dongzi changed his face instantly and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"
After asking, he came to his senses, patted the back of his head and said, "Are you here to pick up the child?"
Ji Qingwu said: "Why are you louder than Eunuch Li? Keep your voice down. I am entering the palace secretly."
She covered her lips with her hand and asked softly: "When will your emperor go to court?"
It turned out that he was looking for the emperor, Xiao Dongzi corrected him with a playful smile.
"It's our Emperor."

Then he continued: "Today is the emperor's first morning court meeting since he woke up. It should take a long time. Why don't you go in first and wait. When the emperor's court is over, I will be the first to go in and inform you."
After receiving the news that Emperor Wu Su would not be coming back for the time being, Ji Qingwu was determined.
She didn't have time to make any more detours with him and asked directly: "Is there any way to get into the imperial prison?"
Xiao Dongzi said in surprise: "Don't go in that place, it will stain your eyes."
Ji Qingwu said: "I came here with Princess Yong. Prince Yong was imprisoned. She was really worried and wanted to go in and take a look. She is pregnant. If something happens, she is the royal heir."< br>
Xiao Dongzi looked around and whispered: "Miss Ji, nothing will happen to Prince Yong in prison. Please tell Princess Yong to go back in peace. I can't tell you more about the inside story here."
Ji Qingwu's eyes flashed and he said, "What if I want to go in and take a look?"
Xiaodongzi said: "Do you insist on going in?"
Ji Qingwu came closer and asked: "Yes, is there any good way?"
The two of them seemed to be plotting something together.
Xiao Dongzi said awkwardly: "The person in charge of the case now is Duan Shisi, and he has the right to enter."
Ji Qingwu patted Xiao Dongzi on the shoulder and said, "Understood, I'll go find Mr. Duan."
"Who are you going to find?"
"Looking for Duan Mingfeng." After Ji Qingwu finished speaking, he realized that the voice asking her was wrong.
The voice was cold and low, different from the eunuch's sharp voice, and it came from behind her.
Ji Qingwu's hand was still on Xiao Dongzi's shoulder and did not withdraw.
The first New Year's Eve after the new emperor of Beili ascended the throne.
Everyone in the palace stayed in the side hall of Jiying Hall to watch the New Year.
There were not many concubines in the palace, and half of the seats in the harem were vacant. The Queen Mother advised the emperor to bring in some new people and give the little prince a younger brother and sister as soon as possible. She implicitly said that the four girls from the Ji family were willing to serve in the palace.
Emperor Wu Su held the wine glass, took a sip, and ignored it.
Seeing that the emperor was in good spirits, the concubines came to propose a toast one after another.
The little prince had just learned to walk and walked over steadily without the help of palace attendants. He held a small jade cup with green bamboo leaves in his little hand and toasted to Emperor Wu Su.
"My son, greetings, my father."
Yuan Heng was wise early and could speak very clearly.
Her dark eyes looked at him, her cute little face like a jade ball tilted up.
Emperor Wu Su's eyes darkened. The child had grown a lot and looked more and more like his biological mother.
The little Yuan Heng had an outstanding ability to observe words and expressions. He found that his father's eyes were particularly warm, so he threw the jade cup away, put his face close to it, and hugged Emperor Wu Su's thigh.
"Hug!"
The goat's milk in the jade cup hit the Queen Mother next to her. The Queen Mother's outfit took more than a month to purchase. But no matter how angry he was, he couldn't lose his temper on the emperor's only heir while staying up late.
After the Queen Mother reluctantly left, no one of the concubines dared to come to offer a toast anymore, and they all sat peacefully on their chairs.
Not long after, Emperor Wu Su left the table with the "pendant".
Everyone at the table took a breath, toasted each other, and said witty auspicious words. There were all kinds of blessings, but there was no wish for early favor and the birth of a precious son.
But what is said the most is: Zhao Zhao got his wish! An Lan every year! Happy New Year!
