Chapter 185 Go to the Ministry of Justice for questioning

Ye Wanqing held it and patted it gently: "Don't feel wronged, ask your father to get you a chicken and a rabbit, and give you a good nourishment."

After saying that, she looked at Chu Anlan: "Is it okay?"

"Of course!" Chu Anlan stroked the furry fox's head and said, "You can't wrong anyone, but you can't wrong your own child."

Ye Wanqing smiled: "Let's go, it's time to serve tea."

The two of them left the room side by side.

Behind him followed the female officials, maids, servant girls and guards carrying boxes who had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time.

On the way, Chu Anlan was afraid of tiring Ye Wanqing, so he took the little pomegranate and said, "Let me hold it. It weighs six kilograms, so it's really heavy."

Ye Wanqing laughed: "How can I be so weak that I can't even hold a fox?"

"I never thought you were weak." Chu Anlan held the little fox in one hand and stretched out the other hand: "I just want to hold your hand."

After saying this, he ignored the whispers of the servants behind him and walked towards the front yard with Ye Wanqing in his arms.

main hall.

Before entering the door, Ye Wanqing heard whispers coming from inside.

Chu Anlan whispered, "They are my grandfather's illegitimate children and grandchildren. They came here today to pay their respects to you."

Ye Wanqing nodded in understanding.

The old Prince Dun had few offspring, and their descendants were fragile. They could not carry anything, were not good at either literature or martial arts, and were completely supported by Prince Dun's salary.

In addition, the princess would occasionally give some money as a subsidy.

Fortunately, these people are sensible, obedient and usually live in their own courtyards.

Over the years, there has never been any major trouble.

Chu Anlan held Ye Wanqing's hand and walked inside: "The people living in the palace are all the grandchildren of my grandfather. They are not good at studying or making money, and they all rely on their father to support them. When they pay their respects, you just accept them. Except for festivals, they usually don't come to the main courtyard casually."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Okay."

When I entered the front yard of the main hall, I saw a crowd of people standing in the yard.

Hearing the footsteps at the door, everyone in the courtyard looked over, pulled the younger generation along, and saluted to Ye Wanqing and Chu Anlan: "Greetings, Prince, Princess."

Chu Anlan took Ye Wanqing by the hand and strode to the main hall: "The Crown Prince's Consort brought gifts, everyone has a share, take the things and go back to your own courtyard."

A chorus of voices rang out: "Thank you, Crown Prince and Crown Princess. I wish you and Crown Princess a long and happy marriage and a son soon..."

Ye Wanqing said gently: "You're welcome."

The servants carried in several boxes, placed them in the center of the courtyard, opened the lids, revealing large boxes of jewels, silver, and ornaments.

The maids came over and distributed the things.

Chu Anlan walked in holding Ye Wanqing's hand.

In the main hall, Prince Dun and the Princess were already waiting.

Seeing the two of them walking in hand in hand, the couple couldn't stop smiling.

After the female official paid her respects, she led Ye Wanqing to stand in front of Prince Dun and the Princess, and handed her a teacup.

Ye Wanqing took the teacup and handed it to Prince Dun: "Father, please have some tea."

Prince Dun took the tea and drank most of it in one gulp: "I have been looking forward to it for almost a year. Today I finally get to drink my wife's tea. Haha!"

"boom!"

Prince Dun was kicked on the calf and cried out in pain: "Ouch..."

Princess Dun glared at him.

Prince Dun fell silent immediately.

Ye Wanqing was not surprised. She picked up another cup of tea with a smile and handed it to Princess Dun: "Mother, please have some tea." Princess Dun saw that her daughter-in-law was wearing the hairpin she had given her last year on her wrist. Her smile became even gentler. She took the tea with both hands and took a sip.

She put down the teacup, picked up an exquisite golden nanmu box and a thick red seal from the side, and handed them to Ye Wanqing.

Ye Wanqing hesitated slightly.

At this time, Chu Anlan smiled and said, "Hurry up and take it. This is a gift that your father and mother prepared for you to change your tone."

Ye Wanqing had no choice but to take the wooden box with both hands, handed it to Ying Xiang beside her, and then turned to Prince Dun and the Princess: "Thank you, father, thank you, mother."

Princess Dun looked at her gently and said, "Qing'er, now that you have entered the palace, it will be your new home from now on. You don't have to restrict yourself at home. If you like something or need something, just ask the servants to buy it for you. If An Lan bullies you, tell me and the prince, and don't let yourself be wronged."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Qing'er understands."

Princess Dun continued, "The prince and I are both relaxed, so you don't need to get up early to pay your respects. You and An Lan are both growing up, so you need to get enough sleep every day."

No need to greet?

Ye Wanqing smiled: "Qing'er understands."

Seeing her smile, Princess Dun heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "If you and An Lan have some free time, it would be great if you could come and have dinner with me and the prince occasionally."

On the side, Chu Anlan was anxious: "Mother, can I often accompany you and father to dinner? You say that, it seems like I am an unfilial son."

"If you are filial, would you be willing to abandon your parents and take them away from Beijing to travel?" asked Princess Dun.

Chu Anlan touched Little Pomegranate's head and said, "How can you say that, mother? I left Beijing to gain knowledge and broaden my horizons. I went there to study, not to have fun. If you can bear the hardship of the journey, I don't mind taking you with me. But, can you bear the hardship of leaving your father behind?"

Little Pomegranate squinted and called out: "Bing-bing!"

Princess Dun: "You really know how to poke your mother in the heart."

Prince Dun looked at the princess and said, "If you want to go out for fun, wait until autumn when it's cooler, and I'll go with you."

The princess asked, "How far can you go with your legs? Don't yell that you want to go home after just a few steps."

"You look down on me too much." Prince Dun patted his calf and said, "I am much better now!"

Princess: “Tsk…”

Ye Wanqing listened with a smile.

Chu Anlan tilted his head and leaned close to her ear: "They are still arguing, why don't we sneak back and come back later?"

"It doesn't matter." Ye Wanqing curved her eyes and said, "Home should be lively."

"Okay..." Chu Anlan was a little disappointed.

Trying to coax him back to his room failed.

The prince and princess were arguing when the butler's voice came from outside: "Prince, princess, something urgent has happened."

The two people who were arguing stopped at the same time.

Prince Dun asked, "What happened? Could it be that a distant relative misremembered the date of the Crown Prince's wedding and came to the banquet today?"

The housekeeper wiped his sweat and said anxiously, "No... Prince Duan's rebellion failed yesterday and he has been unconscious since he was imprisoned. The six ministries held a joint trial but didn't get a single useful word out of them.

Therefore, the six ministries wanted to interrogate Chu Xiaoyan, and summoned the princes who were on good terms with Chu Xiaoyan to the Ministry of Justice for questioning. The prince was also among them. The people from the Ministry of Justice were already waiting for the prince outside the door..."

Question?

Princess Dun and the prince looked at each other and asked, "Should we ask them to come over for questioning, or take them in for investigation?"

The housekeeper said, "I heard that Prince Xiaoye, the two sons of the Hanlin scholar's family... and Master Ye were also invited. In total, there are more than forty or fifty people who have been called away. The number of people who have been imprisoned is countless."

So many?

Moreover, Ye Chenxi was also called away?
Chu Anlan couldn't help but look at Ye Wanqing.

Ye Wanqing was also looking at him.
