Chapter 194 In Court

Chapter 194 In Court
Chu Anlan held Ye Wanqing's hand and looked at the rain. "Tsk, it's really one wave after another. This summer, the weather is very cold."

After saying this, he asked the attendant to hand him the umbrella, and he held it up himself, tilting it slightly towards Ye Wanqing: "Qing'er, let's leave the palace."

Ye Wanqing nodded.

The group of people left the palace gate.

After getting on the carriage, Chu Anlan kicked off his wet boots and let Mo Yan wipe the water marks on the corner of his robe with a dry towel.

Yingxiang and Qianxi brought clean new shoes for Ye Wanqing to change into, wiped the water stains on the hem of her skirt, and rearranged her hair.

The carriage drove towards the Dali Temple.

On the way, Chu Anlan lifted the car curtain and looked at the long street covered with mist: "We agreed to leave Beijing on June 25th, but now I can't leave."

"Then let's go later." Ye Wanqing leaned out and looked outside: "I'm afraid the rain won't stop for a while, and it's not convenient to travel on a rainy day."

Chu Anlan muttered, "I'm afraid the night will be long and full of dreams."

"What is the prince worried about?" Ye Wanqing asked.

"Nothing." Chu Anlan smiled at her: "As long as you don't study, I will stay with you every day, and it's good to leave Kyoto anytime."

Ye Wanqing asked: "What if you study with me?"

This is really shooting oneself in the foot.

He put on a determined expression and said, "If you, Qing'er, were to teach me, I could still learn it..."

The words were spoken with great reluctance.

Ye Wanqing softened her brows and said, "If studying is extremely painful for you, then you don't need to study. Everyone has their own aspirations and ways of living. No matter which way you choose to live, I will do my best to support and accompany you as long as I can."

Chu Anlan's bright eyes flickered: "Qing'er...you are so good to me..."

Ye Wanqing said gently: "I also have something to ask of you, Prince."

"Even if you want water from the river, I will climb up to the sky with a ladder and scoop the water down for you!" Chu Anlan said seriously, "Qing'er, tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Ye Wanqing laughed silently.

What does she want the water from the Milky Way for?

She whispered, "I don't want the water from the sky, nor the moon in the sky. I hope to have a child with the prince a few years later."

"Is that all?" Chu Anlan suddenly realized, "Didn't the Queen Mother give me contraceptive medicine? As long as I take the medicine on time every month, you won't get pregnant. Don't worry, even if the Queen Mother doesn't give me the medicine, I will pay attention and won't let you get pregnant before I'm ready.

I said I would take you away from Beijing, and I was serious. Let me tell you something in secret. Before the wedding, I specially asked the doctor to prescribe medicine, and I took the medicine for a few days. Hehe... Qing'er, I really like you and never wanted to be perfunctory with you. "

After saying that, he put on a smug look as if to say, "Come on, praise me."

Ye Wanqing was stunned.

My eye sockets feel a little sore.

At this time, the carriage stopped, and Mo Yan's voice rang out from outside the carriage: "Prince, Princess, we have arrived at the Dali Temple."

Chu Anlan lifted the car curtain and took a look.

Outside the Dali Temple, Lu Jilian was already waiting.

Chu Anlan calmed down and said, "Qing'er, I'll go with you."

Chu Anlan jumped off the carriage and shouted, "Bring some umbrellas over here, hold them up, don't let the Crown Prince's Consort get wet."

At the gate of Dali Temple, everyone looked over here.

Lu Jilian looked gloomy.

Chu Anlan turned around and stretched out his hand towards the carriage: "Qing'er, let me help you."

Ye Wanqing knew that he was making such a big noise on purpose to show it to Lu Jilian and to assert his sovereignty, but she still cooperated and took his hand.

As soon as his hand touched Chu Anlan's wrist, he exerted force, helped her down, and held her in his arms, letting the raindrops fall on his shoulders.

Then, he put his arm around Ye Wanqing's shoulders and walked towards the entrance of the Dali Temple. Several lower-ranking officials saluted: "Crown Prince, Crown Prince's Consort."

Lu Jilian stood on the stone steps, his voice as gentle as ever, but his eyes were as calm as water: "Prince, Princess."

county lord?

Chu Anlan was unhappy and asked, "How long will it take to interrogate?"

Several officials looked at Lu Jilian.

Lu Jilian looked at Ye Wanqing and said, "After I finish asking you all the questions you need to ask, I will let you go."

Have you finished asking all the questions you need to ask?
What a fuss.

Chu Anlan sighed in his heart, but smiled on the surface. He kissed her on the forehead in front of everyone and said, "I'll wait for you in the carriage."

The kissed skin becomes hot.

Ye Wanqing curved her eyes and said, "I'll try to get out as soon as possible."

"Go." Chu Anlan waved his hand.

As she could only bring one attendant, Ye Wanqing brought Yingxiang with her and entered the Dali Temple together.

On the way, Lu Jilian said nothing.

The remaining officials naturally did not dare to speak loudly. They could only follow behind carefully and exchange glances constantly.

Outside the court, Yingxiang was stopped.

She was a little worried: "Princess."

"Don't worry, just wait for me here."

Ye Wanqing patted Yingxiang's hand and entered the court.

As soon as people sat down, someone immediately poured them tea.

Lu Jilian and several officials sat at the desk opposite her. On the desk were pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and there were officials in charge of taking notes.

Lu Jilian asked in a businesslike tone, "The princess was once on good terms with Princess Liao, the consort of Prince Duan. Has she ever contacted other people in Prince Duan's mansion through Liao?"

"I've met Chu Xiaoyan and met Princess Duan a few times." Ye Wanqing said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, several officials immediately whispered to each other.

Lu Jilian continued to ask: "Before you became friends with Liao, what was your relationship with Chu Xiaoyan and Princess Duan like?"

"Not familiar." Ye Wanqing replied.

The corners of Lu Jilian's lips moved slightly: "So, before Prince Duan rebelled, did Chu Xiaoyan and Liao show any abnormality?"

"I don't know." Ye Wanqing said calmly, "The whole capital knows that Chu Xiaoyan and Liao Fuyun severed ties with us before Prince Duan rebelled."

The official dipped the ink, wrote a few words on the paper, then looked at Lu Jilian, waiting for him to ask the next question.

Lu Jilian stared at Ye Wanqing: "Chu Xiaoyan and Liao Fuyun broke off relations with you for no reason. As smart as the princess is, how could she not suspect anything?"

Ye Wanqing sat upright, her expression unchanged: "I don't quite understand what Lord Lu means? What do you mean by severing ties without reason?

Lord Lu is wondering if my son and I are acting with Liao Fuyun and Chu Xiaoyan?"

An official at the side interrupted, "Princess, Lord Lu is only asking impartial questions, so please answer impartially. Before your wedding, you went to Rongguang Temple once. On the same day, Liao also went to Rongguang Temple. The monks in the temple said that Liao brought a package and asked him to pass on that she wanted to see you. This is a serious matter, so please think carefully about it."

Sure enough, there is no wall that is completely airtight.

The matter of Rongguang Temple was finally discovered.

Ye Wanqing replied calmly and calmly: "In March, I bought a house in Lin'an City and gave it to Liao Fuyun as a wedding gift. She came to Rongguang Temple to return the house deed and land deed to me. She and I did not meet in Rongguang Temple."

"Princess." The official at the side could not help but speak up, "This matter is extremely important, please answer carefully. Liao disguised herself and went to Rongguang Temple, and then rushed back to the capital overnight, just to return a house deed and land deed. Is it as simple as that? This statement can only fool a three-year-old child."
