Chapter 4 Emperor Yu summons and meets with the female general

"Hmph, the matter of Fengxiang Tower was done by Lin Chong and his gang!"

"What!"

Lin Yong's face was solemn, and there was a bit of anger in his eyes: "Your Highness, do you mean that Lin Chong and his gang framed you?"

"It can't be called framing, at most it can be regarded as seduction. Even the sleeping pills were prepared for me, just waiting for me to take the bait!"

"But you know they have ill intentions, why do you still..."

Lin Yong looked at Ning Fan cautiously and asked softly.

Ning Fan showed a helpless look on his face. He couldn't say that it was the fool in his previous life who was led by others!

"A gentleman loves a beautiful lady!"

"Uh!"

Lin Yong was speechless. He knew his own prince's character very well...

"But your highness, why did they do this?"

"Why do this..."

Ning Fan fell into a brief silence and said calmly: "If I am not mistaken, they should be planning for my cheap elder brother!"

"Prince Sheng?"

Lin Yong frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and gradually revealed a hint of realization: "The Lin family and the Zheng family are both relatives of His Highness Prince Sheng. Naturally, they don't want to see the Jingguo Mansion turn to His Highness the Fourth Prince!"

"So, they want to use your hand to destroy the marriage between the two families?"

"Yes, this is also my guess!"

Ning Fan nodded slightly and pondered: "However, Lin Qiu Shi and Zheng Xuan should not be so short-sighted! "

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Duke of Jingguo will never agree to the marriage with the Earl of Cheng'an, so why should they do this?"

"Yes!"

"Could it be that the two families have other plans?"

Ning Fan shook his head slightly, and said after a moment's pause: "It seems that Li Xiuning's return to Beijing this time is definitely not because of a mere verbal marriage."

Lin Yong nodded in agreement: "The eldest daughter of the Li family has a large army and holds an important position in the northern border. Without the special permission of His Majesty, she will never return to Beijing at this time!"

Ning Fan pondered for a while and said softly: "If I am right, my father should summon me soon!"

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

A loud shout came from outside the courtyard, Ning Fan's eyes condensed, and he raised his foot to walk towards the courtyard.

"Your Majesty has ordered that His Royal Highness Prince Xuanyong come to the palace immediately to see the Emperor. This is the order!"

"Your son, I obey the order!"

Lin Yong, who was standing aside, looked at Ning Fan with awe. Somehow, his dandy prince seemed to have suddenly become wise and intelligent, and he was very calculating!

...

Imperial Study!

Emperor Yu was lying on the dragon chair, calmly watching the man in black below.

"Your Majesty, I have already found out!"

"The matter of Fengxiang Tower was caused by the second prince being bewitched by Lin Chong, the son of Prime Minister Lin, and several second-generation rich people!"

"The drug was prepared by Lin Chong in advance, so it should have been premeditated!"

When Emperor Yu heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he asked gloomily, "Lin Qiushi should not know about this, right?"

"Your Majesty, it should be the idea of ​​several juniors to use Prince Xuanyong to tarnish the reputation of the Li family girl in order to destroy the marriage between the Jingguo Mansion and the Cheng'an Earl Mansion!"

"Ridiculous!"

Yu The emperor laughed in anger, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips: "So, the old fox of the Lin family is still unaware?"

"I think... he should know it now!"

"Haha, in that case, I don't have to send someone to go there myself!"

Emperor Yu was relieved. Now that he has not appointed a crown prince, all the princes are ready to make a move, but they have no real power in their hands. At most, they are just making small moves. Everything is under his control, but if important officials of the court are involved, he will never allow it!

"Your Majesty, Li Xiuning of the Jingguo Mansion requests to see you!"

"Announce!"

Emperor Yu seemed not surprised by Li Xiuning's arrival. He sat up straight and saw a woman in armor and with a heroic face striding into the hall.

"General Li Xiuning pays respect to His Majesty!"

"My dear, please excuse me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

There was a touch of admiration on Emperor Yu's face. Although Li Xiuning was a woman, she was not inferior to men at all. In just three years, she had made a name for herself as the female general Shura in the northern border, shocking the eight tribes of Mobei!

It can be said that even without the title of Duke Jingguo, Li Xiuning's influence in the army should not be underestimated!

"My dear, what is the matter with this audience?"

"Your Majesty, I have come here to apologize!"

"Oh?" Emperor Yu looked at her in surprise: "My dear, Li has made great military achievements for my Great Yu, and I have not had time to reward you. What crime has he committed?"

"Your Majesty, today, I bumped into His Royal Highness the King of Xuanyong, and privately led the army to besiege the Prince's Mansion. The crime is unforgivable. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Hearing Li Xiuning's words, Emperor Yu showed a playful look on his face: "In that case, Why didn't Li Yan come here, but you came to ask for punishment?"

"Your Majesty, as the eldest sister, I am willing to take the punishment for my brother because of my poor discipline!"

"Hahaha!" Emperor Yu laughed, waved his hand, and said softly: "Lord Li, you are not here to ask for punishment, you are here to ask for punishment!"

"I already know about the matter of Fengxiang Tower, and it is reasonable for Li Yan to stand up for you!"

"I forgive her innocence!"

"Girl, I will give you an explanation about the matter of Fengxiang Tower!"

"You are the only female general of Dayu, and you have made great military achievements for Dayu. I will never let a meritorious official be bullied, even if it is my son!"

"If you make a mistake, you must be punished!"

"I have summoned King Xuanyong. Don't worry, I will never tolerate this matter!"

Li Xiuning's face showed a complicated expression. He bowed slightly and kept silent!

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Xuanyong has arrived!"

"Hmph! Let this rebellious son roll in for me!"

"Yes!"

After the eunuch bowed respectfully, he quickly left the hall. Not long after, Ning Fan walked in with a dragon-like step. After seeing a beautiful figure below, his face changed slightly.

"Son, I see you, father!"

"Do you know why I asked you to come?"

"Reporting to my father, I think it's because of the matter of Fengxiang Tower!"

Ning Fan glanced at Li Xiuning next to him and responded silently.

"Hmph!"

"Ning Fan, you are so bold!"

Emperor Yu was instantly furious, slammed the table and stood up, glaring, and scolded: "General Li has made great military achievements for my Great Yu, and has been through life and death outside. Now he has to be bullied by you after returning to Beijing. He deserves death!"

"Come here!"

"Here!"

"Drag this rebellious son away and behead him!"

"Your Majesty!"

The eunuch was so scared that his legs softened and he knelt on the ground, whispering: "Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

"Although the Second Prince has made mistakes, he is still of royal blood!"

"Please have mercy, Your Majesty!"

Li Xiuning looked at Emperor Yu's face and was also moved. Even though he knew that he was acting for him, the resentment in his heart was reduced a lot!

"Your Majesty!"

"Please take back your order!"

Li Xiuning also stepped forward and bowed, and said in a serious tone: "The Second Prince was confused for a moment, and I was not hurt. Please spare his life!"

"So, you want me to pardon him?"

Li Xiuning cursed shamelessly. She was a smart person. She knew that Emperor Yu was taking the opportunity to hit King Xuanyong and give her face. Even if she did not come forward to plead for mercy, the tiger-headed guillotine would not fall on Ning Fan's head.

Now, she came forward to plead for mercy, which also gave the monarch enough face. But I didn't expect that he would take advantage of the situation and pardon him?

I didn't ask you to chop off your son, nor did I say to let him go so easily!
