Chapter 751: Questioning and Testing
But the other party did not notify, which means that even the Queen was unaware of Emperor Jingyang's summons for him to enter the palace.
This should be an order issued by Emperor Jingyang on short notice. I wonder what happened in the palace?
Ji Yuntang blinked and asked, "Ah He, are you going? If not, let's go back to sleep."
She didn't think that Emperor Jingyang's edict was a very important matter.
It was wrong for him to send someone to deliver the message in the middle of the night.
In Ji Yuntang's opinion, Emperor Jingyang's order is not as important as their sleep.
Luo Junhe thought about it, then suddenly sat up and gently touched Ji Yuntang's head.
"Atang, you continue to sleep. I will go to the palace for a while."
Luo Junhe felt that Emperor Jingyang summoned him into the palace at this time because he must have discovered something?
In the next few days, Prince Nan Xiao might also come to the palace to find Concubine Li, and you can’t be sure what trap the other party has set.
Luo Junhe may not care about others, but he cannot ignore the queen.
The Queen was still in the palace, and he was afraid that Concubine Li and Prince Nan Xiao would harm her.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he decided to go to the palace.
Ji Yuntang certainly respected his decision, but he would not let Luo Junhe take the risk alone.
So, she also stood up and said, "Ahe, I will accompany you to the palace to see Emperor Jingyang."
Ji Yuntang knew how insidious Emperor Jingyang was.
She felt much more at ease with her around.
Although, Emperor Jingyang did not summon her to enter the palace.
But Ji Yuntang didn't care, she only cared about Luo Junhe's safety.
Luo Junhe knew her character. Once she made a decision, no one could change it.
Furthermore, this is also a manifestation of her concern for herself.
If Ji Yuntang wasn't allowed to go, she would probably be so worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep all night.
Thinking of this, Luo Junhe agreed.
"Okay, then let's get up and pack up and go into the palace."
He wanted to see what Emperor Jingyang was going to do.
Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe got up, washed up simply, and went out.
Eunuch Zhang's carriage was still waiting outside the door. When he saw them coming, he hurried over to greet them.
"Your Highness, you are finally here. The Emperor has summoned you to the palace. Please come with me."
Eunuch Zhang stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the carriage, wanting Luo Junhe to get in.
But Luo Junhe did not get on, but said: "Eunuch Zhang can go ahead in the carriage. The king and the princess have carriages, and we will arrive later."
Eunuch Zhang glanced at Ji Yuntang and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Emperor Jingyang only asked him to summon Luo Junhe into the palace, but did not ask him to summon Ji Yuntang as well.
He knew how much Emperor Jingyang hated Ji Yuntang.
Basically, no matter what happens to her, nothing good will happen in the end.
Ji Yuntang looked at Eunuch Zhang and knew what he wanted to say, so she spoke in advance to stop him from saying anything.
"Eunuch Zhang, when the princess and the prince were making trouble, you came with an imperial decree and interrupted our good deeds."
"If you don't let me go, then I will take the prince back with me and continue to make trouble for him."
Eunuch Zhang: "..."
Eunuch Zhang: "!!!"
He was greatly shocked, as if he had not expected that Ji Yuntang could actually say such a thing.
As expected, no one can match Princess Ye’s toughness.
Eunuch Zhang knew that since Ji Yuntang could say it, she could definitely do it.
If she took Luo Junhe back, he would not be able to report to Emperor Jingyang.
Thinking of this, a flattering smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Princess Ye, you are joking. You and His Royal Highness Ye Wang have a deep love for each other. It is only natural that you want to accompany him."
"Since the princess wants to follow His Royal Highness the Night King into the palace, then let's go together."
Ji Yuntang smiled and said nothing more.
After a while, An Qi drove the carriage over.
He got out and lifted the curtain, "Your Majesty, Princess, please get in the car."
Just like that, with Prince Ye's carriage in front and Eunuch Zhang's carriage behind, the group entered the palace together.
Emperor Jingyang was already dressed and returned to the Council Hall.
He felt a slight headache, but he thought it was because Concubine Li was angry with him, so he didn't take it seriously.
Not long after, Eunuch Zhang came back and reported: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Night King has arrived and is waiting outside the door."
Emperor Jingyang's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Let him in."
The door opened and the people who came in were Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe, holding hands.
When Emperor Jingyang saw this, he became even more angry.
He asked angrily: "Ye Wang, I only asked Zhang Fugui to summon you to the palace, why did you bring your princess with you?"
Luo Junhe said calmly, "In reply to your father's words, Atang and I have a deep affection for each other. After I am gone, she will definitely suffer from insomnia."
"So, I took the initiative to bring her here as well. I hope that the emperor will punish me."
Luo Junhe said that he wanted Emperor Jingyang to punish him, but in fact, his face did not show any sign of having done anything wrong.
Emperor Jingyang was extremely troubled and was too lazy to bother with this matter.
For him, there are more important things to do.
He asked, "Do you know why I summoned you to the palace at this time?"
Luo Junhe said: "I don't know."
Emperor Jingyang: "..."
Emperor Jingyang: "!!!"
He just couldn't believe that Concubine Li was having an affair with her lover and Luo Junhe, as her son, would be completely unaware of it.
You know, Concubine Li wanted to kill him and arrange Luo Junhe to replace him on the throne.
How could he not know?
Emperor Jingyang suppressed his anger and questioned Luo Junhe directly.
"I want to ask you, do you know if there is a person called Zheng Lang among the people your mother knows?"
On the surface, he was asking Luo Junhe, but in fact he wanted to test the other party.
Emperor Jingyang did not ask Concubine Li about the other party's identity, so he set his sights on Luo Junhe.
In his opinion, if Luo Junhe knew, it meant that this person really existed.
Then he is most likely the son born from the affair between Concubine Li and Zhenglang.
Emperor Jingyang's question made Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang stunned at the same time.
Zheng Lang? Or someone related to Concubine Li?
If it’s not Nanxiao King Luo Qizhen, who else could it be?
As the other party's elder brother, it is impossible that Emperor Jingyang doesn't even know the name of King Nan Xiao, right?
Luo Junhe could see that Emperor Jingyang was testing him.
He guessed that Concubine Li accidentally revealed a flaw, letting Emperor Jingyang know about her unclear relationship with Zhenglang.
Luo Junhe would never fall into the trap. If he said that he knew, Emperor Jingyang would definitely hate him even more.
After all, he knew that Concubine Li was having an affair with someone else, but he kept it from Emperor Jingyang. How could Emperor Jingyang tolerate this?
