Chapter 455 - 455 The Meeting of Father and Son-in-law (1)



Shen Yijia puffed up her cheeks. “My husband won’t. He likes me.”

Madam Li was amused by her shameless words. She noticed Xuanyuan Ce, who was following Shen Yijia with a dark expression, and looked at Shen Yijia.

Xuanyuan Ce’s white hair was too recognizable. Madam Li had seen him from afar at the docks and once at the inn, so she naturally remembered him.

However, she did not expect him to be the prince of the Xuanyuan Kingdom.

Shen Yijia slapped her forehead. She was so happy to get the banknotes that she almost forgot about the beautiful uncle.

Thinking of Xuanyuan Ce’s identity, she swallowed the word “uncle” and stood up respectfully. “Thank you, Your Highness.”

Xuanyuan Ce’s heart skipped a beat when she addressed him formally. He nodded. “I’m glad you’re fine.”

Shen Yijia was a little embarrassed. She had left the city that morning, so it didn’t match the time she arrived at Hidden Spirit Temple. If that Cai fellow wasn’t so afraid of the beautiful uncle just now, she would have been exposed after asking a few more questions.

She felt that the beautiful uncle definitely knew.

She scratched her head and asked, “But why are you here, Your Highness?”

Xuanyuan Ce paused. “A little beggar came to the courier station to look for me. Didn’t you ask him to come?”

“Huh?” Shen Yijia shook her head. “I didn’t even know you were staying at the courier station. How could I have gotten someone to look for you there?”

The two of them stood in the middle of the road and spoke. From time to time, the people around them would look at them, sizing them up. Madam Li said politely, “Why don’t you invite Lord Jing’an to our house?”

She was really just being polite. Lord Jing’an was an outsider, and Song Jingchen wasn’t at home. She couldn’t let Lin Shao and Bruiser entertain him.

If she wanted to thank him, she had to wait for Song Jingchen to return and let him handle it.

However, Shen Yijia did not notice. She looked at Xuanyuan Ce inquiringly.

Xuanyuan Ce also felt that something was wrong. When he met Shen Yijia’s gaze, he nodded.

Madam Li was speechless.

Before the case was concluded, the news spread to the palace. Looking at the memorial handed over by Official Zhao, the emperor was so angry that he almost flew into a rage.

The Shen Residence!

What a good Shen family!

It was like they would be indignant if they did not embarrass Great Xia!

If this matter succeeded, he might have had to praise the Shen family for being sneaky enough to pull off something like this. However, they failed.

He sent the imperial official away and asked Eunuch Li to bring over a blank imperial edict. He wrote a few lines on it.

Eunuch Li looked down and silently took the jade seal. It was unknown if it was his imagination, but he felt that His Majesty had become more and more easily angry recently.

At the same time, he cursed the Shen family in his heart. It was about to be His Majesty’s birthday. The envoy was still around. Could they not behave themselves?

Who didn’t know that the emperor loved his reputation the most?

People who were so keen on courting death. He had finally seen it today.

“Your Majesty, Miss Ji is here.”

The eunuch’s voice came from outside the door.

The emperor suppressed his anger. “Let her in.”

As he spoke, he picked up the jade seal and stamped the imperial edict heavily. He instructed Eunuch Li, “Tell someone to make a trip to the Shen family.”

Eunuch Li replied respectfully, “Yes.”

Soon, Ji Yunxi walked in with a tray. When she saw the imperial edict in Eunuch Li’s hand, she frowned slightly.

She had yet to leave the palace today and did not know what had happened outside.

“That day when you went to treat Lord Jing’an, did you see a woman?”

Ji Yunxi did not understand why the emperor asked this. She thought of the master and servant who had left in anger. She nodded. “When I saw Lord Jing’an, I saw a woman beside him.”

The emperor nodded. It seemed that Lord Jing’an was telling the truth. Otherwise, he would have to worry about whether the people of the Xuanyuan Kingdom had gotten in touch with Song Jingchen. If that was the case, he would suspect that Lord Jing’an was testifying because of Song Jingchen.

He stopped talking about this topic and changed the topic. “Lord Jing’an specially sent someone to the palace to praise you. You did very well.”

Ji Yunxi pursed her lips. She felt that something was wrong, but she could not figure it out at the moment. She could only say respectfully, “It’s my blessing to be able to share His Majesty’s worries.”

She handed the tray to Eunuch Deng. On the tray was a three-inch black box.

Eunuch Deng placed the tray in the hands of a small eunuch beside him and personally placed the box on the table in front of the emperor.

He opened the box and saw two brown medicinal pills inside. They emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.
