329, The General's Daughter Being Used in the Rebirth Story 7
At this time, a young eunuch came in and whispered a few words into Concubine Liang's ear.
Concubine Liang waved her hand and let the young eunuch go down.
Said, "The Prime Minister is kneeling outside the Imperial Study."
The fifth prince asked, "What is the Prime Minister going to do?"
Concubine Liang said, "The Prime Minister is cunning and treacherous. He is here to confess his crime first, not because he is afraid of causing your father's suspicion.
My son, the most important thing now is to get to the bottom of the matter. Is there anyone plotting against you? Once you find out, you can give an explanation to your father.
If we can catch the person who plotted against you, we can clear the matter completely in front of your father."
……
The emperor asked the prime minister to enter the imperial study.
During the time that the prime minister was kneeling outside, everything that had happened had been reported to the emperor in full.
The emperor had a bad expression on his face, and he held back his anger and said, "Prime Minister, what happened that made you kneel outside the imperial study?"
The Prime Minister started by apologizing, "Your Majesty, I am guilty and I am here to apologize."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Tell me what crime the prime minister has committed."
The Prime Minister knelt down and explained the matter, "My concubine's daughter Ke Lantian was invited by Xu Xiuxiu from the General's Mansion to go to Delicious Food today.
I went into the wrong private room and met the Fifth Prince.
The fifth prince and his maid were ambushed by a villain and accidentally drank the tea that the villain had drugged. The two of them hugged each other in their dishevelled clothes.
I have failed to teach my daughter well, so I will leave it to Your Majesty to deal with me."
The emperor's face was gloomy. He found out what happened, but Xu Xiuxiu had nothing to do with it.
When Xu Xiuxiu started dating Ke Lantian, she also invited Ke Lantian to Delicious House.
There was one thing in his information. A few days ago, Xu Xiuxiu said on the spot that she had no friendship with Ke Lantian, so why did she invite Ke Lantian to Meiweizhai?
The emperor asked, "Did Xu Xiuxiu invite Ke Lantian to the Delicious Restaurant?"
The Prime Minister said, "My concubine's daughter Ke Lantian told me this."
The emperor nodded and said, "Go and call the Fifth Prince and Ke Lantian."
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Let's call Xu Xiuxiu as well. Don't be too fierce and scare the child."
Ke Lantian was involved with Xu Xiuxiu in this matter, so he decided to call her over and ask her in person.
The chief eunuch heard the order and assigned three young eunuchs to call for help.
He also specifically instructed the young eunuch named Xu Xiuxiu to be nicer and not to scare Miss Xu.
The young eunuch understood and hurried out.
……
When Jin Xiuxiu entered the palace, the Fifth Prince and Ke Lantian had already arrived at the imperial study.
The eunuch who called her into the palace had already told her what happened, and she knew that it was Ke Lantian who had framed her.
Ke Lantian really values the original owner as a tool, and will move him wherever he is needed.
When Ke Lantian saw Jin Xiuxiu also walked into the imperial study, he became nervous.
She became more cautious when she came out of Delicious Restaurant.
She asked if there were any girls she knew in Delicious House, and when she heard that Xu Xiuxiu had been in Delicious House these days, she made Xu Xiuxiu her tool, and found an excuse for herself to go to Delicious House.
Otherwise, if the emperor and her father knew that she and the fifth prince had a secret meeting in the private room of Delicious Food, it would be a disaster.
She didn't expect that the emperor would actually call Xu Xiuxiu into the palace. Even for such a small matter, he had to confront her on the spot.
The emperor is so idle that he doesn't deal with state affairs, but even for such a small matter he wants to be confronted on the spot.
Jin Xiuxiu bowed, "Uncle Emperor."
Jin Xiuxiu's stepmother was in poor health. Usually, after her stepmother sought medical advice, the queen would take Jin Xiuxiu into the palace to be taken care of.
Of course, this was all because the general's cheap father was helping the emperor fight outside. In order to let his cheap father work outside with peace of mind, the emperor instructed the queen to help take care of his good brother's wife and daughter as a sign of favor.
The emperor watched Jin Xiuxiu grow up.
The emperor smiled and said, "Xiu Xiu, get up quickly. The emperor's uncle said that you don't have to perform the ceremony.
Uncle Huang asked you to come here just to ask you a few questions. Don’t be afraid.”
Jin Xiuxiu stood aside, "Uncle Huang, please ask."
Emperor, "Xiu Xiu, it was you who invited Ke Lantian to Delicious Restaurant today?"
Jin Xiuxiu said doubtfully, "No.
I don't have much contact with Miss Ke, so how could I have the audacity to invite Miss Ke to Delicious Restaurant?"
The emperor looked at Ke Lantian, "Ke Lantian said that you invited her to Delicious Restaurant."
Jin Xiuxiu said, "Uncle Huang, I don't have any."
Ke Lantian was trying to explain hurriedly but didn't dare to speak.
The emperor said, "Ke Lantian, why did you say that it was Xu Xiuxiu who invited you to Delicious House?"
Ke Lantian thought for a while and had already thought of an explanation, and explained quickly, "Your Majesty, a few days ago, Miss Xu misunderstood me and the fifth prince.
I wanted to explain to Miss Xu what happened that day, so I asked someone to find out that Miss Xu had been at Delicious House these days, and I wanted to go see her."
Ke Lantian curled his lips and said this to explain why he appeared in Meizhizhai.
Jin Xiuxiu raised her little hand, "Uncle Huang, I have something to ask Miss Ke."
The emperor nodded, "Go ahead."
Jin Xiuxiu asked, "Ms. Ke, I didn't consider your and the Fifth Prince's thoughts that day and asked someone to rescue you.
However, at that time, human lives were at stake and I was dizzy for a moment, so I called for people to save you.
At that time, I also apologized to you and the Fifth Prince. Is there any misunderstanding between us?"
Ke Lantian bit her lip and said aggrievedly, "Miss Xu, I really don't have any special relationship with the Fifth Prince.
Don’t misunderstand me.”
It would be fine if Xu Xiuxiu didn't say anything. Why is she still talking about what happened that day?
Jin Xiuxiu didn't want to hear Ke Lantian talking nonsense to her, "Ke Lantian, whatever your relationship with the Fifth Prince is, it's none of my business.
Why do you always include me in this?"
Ke Lantian set a trap that was ambiguous, "Miss Xu, don't you think the fifth prince is very handsome and elegant? Regardless of his family background and status, he is very good."
Jin Xiuxiu, "I don't hate getting married. I really don't pay attention to what the young master of a certain family looks like."
Ke Lantian was puzzled. "Ms. Xu is not young anymore. She is old enough to discuss marriage."
Jin Xiuxiu said directly, "Ms. Ke, you hate getting married, you want to discuss marriage, so go and arrange it yourself.
Don't bring me up all the time. I'm not familiar with you, and we don't share the same values. I can't agree with you."
Ke Lantian was humiliated by Jin Xiuxiu in public, and said aggrievedly, "Ms. Xu, I really want to be friends with you."
Jin Xiuxiu quickly said with disdain, "Don't get close to me."
Ke Lantian: "..." This is what a lady from a wealthy family should say.
The emperor had seen enough of the show and said with a smile, "Xiu Xiu, girls should be more tactful when speaking."
Jin Xiuxiu, "Uncle Huang, what I said was too tactful. I'm afraid Miss Ke wouldn't understand."
Ke Lantian bit her lip in anger and said softly, "I was wrong about my true feelings. I thought we could be good friends."
