After a while, Xiao Yannian, Shen Yingluo and the rest arrived under the guidance of Eunuch Gao, and immediately bowed.

The Emperor put away his earlier appearance and had an unfathomable expression. "Prime Minister, you're …"

"This official dares not."

"This sinner did not take good care of my daughter, so my daughter …" When he said till here, Xiao Yannian's voice was close to tears, and her eyes were slightly red.

After pausing for a long time, he continued, "I don't know which evil person poisoned my daughter!"

"Putong."

Shen Yingluo, who had not said a word all along, also knelt behind Xiao Yannian, "Your Majesty, vassal wife is guilty too. Seeing that the date of the wedding was approaching, and it was all due to vassal wife's negligence, Yu Mo, she … "

The two of them sang the same tune, their grief reaching the extreme.

"Your Majesty, look at this …" Xu Shufei let out a long sigh, "Chenqie had also just received the news, I didn't expect it to be true."

The Emperor pondered for a moment. "How is the little girl now?"

"In reply to Your Majesty, Yu Mo, I'm afraid Yu Mo won't last more than three days …" Xiao Yannian's body trembled slightly as he laid prone on the ground.

"Nonsense!" "Han-Er's marriage has been decided, and now you're telling me that your daughter can't take it anymore?"

The emperor's sudden words made all the people present tremble. They didn't dare to raise their heads for a while.

In the end, the Xu Shufei was the first to speak, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's just that something has happened to Second Miss, what should we do about the marriage with Prince Ning? "

Xiao Yannian covered his face with one hand, looking exhausted and confident, "No matter what, this old subject will find out everything about this matter, and let this little girl be the judge!"

As he spoke passionately, Shen Yingluo also nodded his head repeatedly behind him as if his hatred for him was as deep as the ocean.

"Forget it!" The emperor took a deep breath, "This matter will definitely be investigated, but the most important thing right now is the matter of Han'er's grand wedding!" The wedding has been arranged and the entire world is waiting for this day. If anything goes wrong, it would be a loss of face for the royal family! "

"This old official is aware of this, which is why I hastily entered the palace to seek an audience with His Majesty. "What should we do now? We will leave everything to His Majesty."

"If that's the case, then …"

The Emperor seemed to be hesitating, but he still spoke slowly.

At this moment, another uninvited guest arrived.

A smile just appeared on Shen Yingluo's lips, but Consort Jing suddenly came to visit, it was unexpected.

"Chenqie pays her respects to Your Majesty." The Consort Jing leisurely walked over. His well-maintained face had a light smile on it, which made him look rather extravagant.

"Stand up, what kind of wind brought you two here?"

In the past, the royal study had never been as lively as it was today.

Shufei nodded slightly, agreeing tacitly.

"Your Majesty, looks like Your Majesty already knows of the news." This concubine was originally worried and wanted to come over to take a look. Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister came as well. "

Xiao Yannian was determined to win today, and upon seeing the appearance of the Consort Jing, his heart tensed up once more.

The Emperor silently swept his gaze past them, his eyes as black as ink, causing others to be unable to discern the depth of his gaze.

"We still don't know that the marriage in Prince Ning has caught the attention of all of you."

When the Consort Jing sat down, she covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled softly, "Who doesn't know that the one Your Majesty loves the most is the Prince Ning?

With that, the Consort Jing looked at Xiao Yannian and Shen Yingluo, and pinched her handkerchief, "With the current situation, according to my concubine's opinion, I should first ask the imperial physician to take a look, maybe there will be a good opportunity."

"You can't!" Shen Yingluo could not help but shout out loud in her anxiety.

It was only until Xiao Yannian's warning that he seemed to realize something, "vassal wife is saying that it is already too late to ask the imperial physician over."

"That's right, this old subject has already asked a doctor for my daughter, it's just that …" The situation is not optimistic. "

Consort Jing had a deeper meaning behind her gaze at the two of them, "There is still a period of time until the marriage, so there is no need to rush Prime Minister."

The power of the Ning Wang Manor was not to be underestimated. If he were to marry this young miss of the Prime Minister's Palace, the situation in the future would be even more dire.

Shen Yingluo clenched her fist tightly, but she could not say anything, and could only secretly give Xiao Yannian a meaningful look.

But who would have thought that Shufei would open her mouth at this moment.

She looked at Xiao Yannian as if consoling him, "Your majesty, since the doctor has already seen it, please make a decision early. After all, there isn't much time left. "

Having said that, no matter how much Consort Jing wanted to stop him, she was powerless and could only give up.

"Xiao Aimin, I know about your painstaking efforts." The emperor lowered his voice, his gaze deep and profound. "Since something has happened to the princess and we can't annul the marriage contract, we'll let Eldest Miss carry it out."

When these words came out, Shen Yingluo's heart was finally at ease, and she suppressed the jubilation in her heart, "Thank you, Master, for your grace."

"Prime Minister's Palace's first born young miss, it can't be considered as having wronged Han'er."

"Thank you, your majesty." Xiao Lingyi who was always behind Shen Yingluo suddenly raised her head with a shock, her mouth could not help but grin.

His long-awaited wish had finally come true. How could a single sentence of excitement explain this?

"Your Majesty, isn't this too hasty?" Consort Jing's heart sank as she tried to speak.

"It was too hasty." The Emperor nodded before sighing. "However, as matters stand, this is the only way left."

"Men, deliver our royal decree!"

Eunuch Gao immediately stepped forward in a respectful manner.

Xiao Lingyi's eyes also widened, his heart was filled with excitement, not knowing how to express it. She extended her ears and waited to hear what the emperor was going to say.

Xiao Yannian also looked at Shen Yingluo secretly, and revealed a satisfied expression.

"The young miss of Prime Minister's Palace has both the talent and the talent …."

"Your Majesty!"

Another voice hurriedly sounded.

A young eunuch hurriedly rushed over, looking at the crowd in the great hall with a strange expression, while quivering and pointing outside the great hall.

"If there's anything you need, we'll talk about it later." The emperor waved his hand and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a young eunuch.

"Your Majesty … "This …"

"How dare you!" Xu Shufei was the first to speak, "There are even more rules."

"Elder sister, why are you in such a hurry?" Consort Jing stood in front of Shufei, as if she had realized something, "Your Majesty, why don't you let this eunuch speak first.

The Emperor was slightly impatient and frowned. "Speak!"

As if relieved, the eunuch heaved a sigh of relief. "Your Majesty, outside, Miss Xiao, Miss Xiao requests an audience."

"What?"

"Who?!"

Two successive exclamations of disbelief rang out.
