This was the first time the emperor had shouted Shui Yiyuan's full name.

"Your Majesty, please forgive us!" Shui Yiyuan said as he laid prone on the ground, "All of them were because this humble subject did not take good care of my beloved daughter."

"Please calm your anger, Your Majesty!" The ministers bowed in salute.

"Assistant Minister has disturbed the imperial court, tarnishing the reputation of the Fourth Miss and the Prince Chu, instigating the relationship between the Prince Chu Palace and the Royal Family, we are being given a cane as punishment!" Yun Lancang's voice was mixed with anger.

With that said, Assistant Minister plopped down on the ground.

The Yun Chao Staff took off his pants, covered his mouth, and struck him until he was out of breath.

Assistant Minister was a civil servant, so what did civil servants like most, it was just a matter of face.

" Your Majesty, this humble subject is speaking the truth. Prince Chu did not appear for five years but saved Fourth Miss twice. They must have done it in private. Your Majesty is wise. Your Majesty, Your Majesty … "Assistant Minister's voice became smaller and smaller as his figure was dragged down the stairs.

"Doctor Shui, Doctor Shui!" Someone suddenly shouted anxiously, "Your Majesty, Doctor Shui has fainted."

Yun Lancang looked at Shui Yiyuan's unconscious figure and slightly frowned: "Doctor Senior Zhao Imperial Physician, look for Doctor Shui.

The Doctor Senior Zhao doctor immediately went up to check Shui Yiyuan's pulse. A moment later, he said, "Your Majesty, this subject heard that Doctor Shui had not eaten for six or seven days, so I think he must have passed out from hunger."

Yun Lancang looked at Eunuch Shou, who nodded at him: "After the next assembly, Eunuch Shou will personally bring Doctor Shui back to the residence."

"Yes." Eunuch Shou immediately nodded.

When Yun Lancang was near, he took a glance at Shui Qingyan, pressed his temples, and waved: "You may leave."

Shui Qingyan bowed, then turned around and steadily walked to the place where she had previously stood, step by step, according to the pace of her memory.

This action immediately attracted Zhao Zhilan's attention. He was very curious as to how Shui Qingyan had so accurately found the spot where she was standing without being able to see anything.

Just as Shui Qingyan walked down and stood, someone immediately spoke out.

"Your majesty, the Fourth Miss' eyes are ill and her body has scars, so she's no longer suitable to hold the Jade Snow Mandarin Duck Pendant. I hope your majesty can order her to strip the Jade Snow Mandarin Duck Pendant from your possession." The one who spoke was the head of the Ministry of War, Xie Yu, the current Queen's blood brother.

"Your Majesty, this subject agrees." Some people stepped forward to join the sponsors.

At this moment, Shui Yiyuan only wished that it was too early to pretend that he had fainted, and that he couldn't go up and say a few words.

"Your Majesty, please reconsider." Liu Changqing did not agree, and also did not disagree.

Shui Qingyan frowned slightly. She could not understand her grandfather's words.

"Your majesty, Fourth Miss' character and health are still awaiting assessment. May Your majesty keep the Jadesnow Mandarin Duck Pendant." Another person took a step forward.

"This subject and others seconded." The officials spoke up.

Yun Lancang glanced at the Shui Qingyan who was standing there motionlessly, not looking at her own thoughts. Then, she retracted her gaze and slowly opened her mouth, "Fourth Miss Shui, you have a mischievous personality, do not follow etiquette, do not understand the teachings of a lady, and are not qualified to be a role model of the imperial family. We are here to retract Bi …"

"Hold on!" At the most critical moment, a gentle and deterrent voice of a woman sounded at the door of the throne room.

Shui Yiyuan, who was pretending to faint, heaved a sigh of relief.

Shui Qingyan did not turn around, but by the time this voice reached Shui Qingyan's ears, the appearance of the master had already appeared out of nowhere.

This person was the only imperial concubine who could compete with the empress, the Noble Consort Qiao!

All the officials turned around and the Noble Consort Qiao walked in step by step.

All the officials bowed in greeting. "Greetings, esteemed imperial concubine."

Of course, Shui Qingyan also bowed to the wind.

Noble Consort Qiao was dressed in a golden red peony silver palace attire. She looked elegant with a long skirt and a head full of golden hairpins. Her makeup was exquisite and not much trace of time had been left on her face.

Noble Consort Qiao was the first to walk to Shui Qingyan's side. After that, she took Shui Qingyan's hand and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Aunt Rong is here."

The original name of the Noble Consort Qiao was Qiao Dai Rong and she was Liu Ninghua's best friend. However, ever since Liu Ninghua had passed away, this Aunt Rong, who once doted on Shui Qingyan, had never summoned Shui Qingyan into the palace again.

Shui Qingyan only smiled faintly, then retracted her hand and bowed towards the Noble Consort Qiao, "Everything will be decided by Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine."

After that, Yun Lancang bowed and said, "This concubine greets Your Majesty. This concubine knows that the empress dowager cannot come to the throne room as she pleases, but what I have to handle today is my concubine's matter. Thus, this concubine came over boldly, and I beg your forgiveness, Your Majesty."

"What the officials said is true. My beloved concubine is here. Could it be that she can cure Fourth Miss' eyes?" Yun Lancang looked at Noble Consort Qiao with a slight frown.

The Noble Consort Qiao shook her head. "Your Majesty, this is not a national affair. There is no need to place it in the throne room."

"Imperial Concubine's words are wrong. The Emperor shoulder the responsibility of first having a country and having a family. Now that the Crown Prince has yet to be established, it is possible that any prince could be made Crown Prince by the Emperor. The minister of war, Xie Yu, spoke up.

"Minister Xie's words are wrong. Qing Yan is not yet old, and she has yet to learn etiquette, so how can she be perfect? Besides, Qing Yan's injuries are not incurable, and her eyes are not without treatment. Every single person in the world knows that this is an agreement between Big Sister Hua and I, so could it be that you want to fall into my hands? " Noble Consort Qiao's tone was not friendly.

"Imperial Consort is serious." Xie Yu immediately bowed.

"Your majesty, why don't we take a look at her injury before coming to a conclusion." Noble Consort Qiao looked at Yun Lancang.

Yun Lancang, "Doctor Senior Zhao …"

"Your majesty, this humble subject will do. This humble subject is good." Doctor Little Zhao was the first to walk forward, and before Shui Qingyan could react, her finger was already on Shui Qingyan's pulse.

"I heard that Prince Chu came from a medical master five years ago, his reputation is well-deserved. Fourth Miss's internal injuries actually did not leave any traces behind." Zhao Zhilan laughed and pulled Shui Qingyan's sleeves again: "Prince Chu's Spiritual Jade Paste are also excellent. From the scars, as long as Prince Chu's Spiritual Jade Paste are here, the scars will definitely not be left behind."

As she said that, Zhao Zhilan had already put down her hands. After that, she stared at Shui Qingyan as she rubbed her chin, "Eyes doesn't mean that there's no way, but it needs time."

"Everyone heard it, the Doctor Little Zhao's medical skills are known to all, since the Doctor Little Zhao says it is alright, then there should not be any problems with his body." Noble Consort Qiao immediately beat him up, "That's why, you don't have to worry too much about the things that Minister Xie says."

Xie Yu immediately bowed, "Imperial Concubine, please reconsider."

Noble Consort Qiao frowned slightly: "This matter is my own business, so there is no need to discuss it in the throne room. Sister Hua has done a great favor for me, and I will never sacrifice my promise in exchange for any chance that I don't have. "

Upon hearing these words, all the ministers' heads tilted as they discussed with each other.

"The esteemed imperial concubine and Madam Shui have a deep relationship as sisters, and the imperial concubine is very loyal to her as well. We really need to think over this matter carefully."

"If Second Prince gets laughed at because of Fourth Miss, it might not be good."

"The Second Prince is talented and intelligent, he is well-versed in martial arts, the imperial concubine's decision seems to be disregarding the new year Second Prince."

"That's right, this matter was brought up by Imperial Uncle."

"It's a pity about Second Prince."

Although Yun Lancang could not hear them, he could still guess eighty percent of them, and he had the urge to beat them up in his heart.

"Forget it, let's talk about this later. Doctor Little Zhao must be responsible for Fourth Miss's injuries." In the end, Yun Lancang summed it up to this point in time.

The Noble Consort Qiao immediately bowed. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"The Emperor is wise." The ministers bowed respectfully.

Yun Lancang glanced at Shui Qingyan, and said: "Even though Fourth Young Miss has encountered so many things because of her filial piety, going to the Ma Ji Town is indeed humiliating for the Imperial Family, and her methods of punishing the evil slaves are too cruel. She is given three lashes, and she is forbidden from going out for one month."

Three lashes!

Yun Sheng could not help but look at Shui Qingyan. He was very worried that Shui Qingyan would be able to withstand the three lashes.

"Yes." Shui Qingyan immediately bowed. A month's time was enough for her to get used to the darkness.

"There's more." Yun Lancang continued, "Your temperament must be changed. You need to find someone to teach you a lesson."

"Your majesty, chenqie is responsible for introducing herself and finding a good teacher for Qingyan." Noble Consort Qiao immediately tried to recommend herself.

Yun Lancang glanced at Noble Consort Qiao, and pointed: "Sorry for troubling you, my beloved concubine."

"Thank you, your majesty." Noble Consort Qiao immediately bowed.

"Your Majesty, this subject has a presumptuous request." Shui Qingyan said.

"Qingyan, if there's anything you need, just tell Aunt Rong. She'll make the decision for you." Noble Consort Qiao caressed Shui Qingyan's hands and said tenderly.

"Thank you, esteemed imperial concubine." Shui Qingyan immediately bowed, then looked towards Yun Lancang, "Your Majesty, can you grant Big Brother the city guard a lenient punishment?"

"Your majesty, the city guards also follow the emperor's filial piety to govern the country. I ask that Your majesty be lenient with his treatment." Liu Changqing immediately bowed in greeting.

"I second that." Someone was standing behind Liu Changqing.

"Penalty of one year." Yun Lancang said.

"Thank you, your majesty." Shui Qingyan immediately bowed.

"Thank you, your majesty." Liu Changqing and the second minister thanked him together.

"Speak again when all the Elites have something to do." Yun Lancang said.

"The officials have nothing to say." It was already close to lunchtime, so all of the ministers who had not eaten breakfast came for a meeting. Since they were all hungry, they did not have the mood to continue their discussion. They could only shake their heads.

Seeing that, the Eunuch Shou straightened his body and shouted: "Withdraw!" The sound's penetrating power was very far, but it didn't give off an ear-piercing feeling. It was clear that his internal force was not ordinary.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" All the ministers fell to their knees.

"Respectfully sending off your majesty." Noble Consort Qiao also bowed.

After the Emperor left, the Noble Consort Qiao smiled as she looked at the flawless skin on Shui Qingyan's face, and then said, "Qingyan, Aunt Rong will be returning to the palace first. If you have any business, go find Aunt Rong.

"Thank you, esteemed imperial concubine." Shui Qingyan nodded, "I'll send the imperial concubine off."

"Respectfully sending off the imperial concubine." The officials continued to kowtow.

and Chu Chen were the only ones who did not kneel down.
