Hearing Eunuch Li's whispered words, Emperor Ming's face froze obviously, and after a while he said, "Xuan."
Not long after, a beautiful middle-aged woman dressed in plain clothes and with a dignified appearance walked into the hall. This was the emperor's concubine whose son, Meng Tianlin, was imprisoned in the sky prison.
Judging by her red eyes at this time, it was obvious she haven't had a good rest for several days. She was looking a little haggard and disoriented.
Seeing that Emperor Ming was already awake, Concubine Xian burst into tears, and she knelt down in front of the bed with a plop, and cried to Emperor Ming: "Your Majesty, please forgive Lin'er, he really just missed a moment with the sphere, definitely not intentional! ."
Emperor Ming hummed. Of course, he knew that the fourth child was not intentional in his acts. With his stupid simplicity, how could he do such a thing? It was possible that he was used by others. He just wanted to take the opportunity to see which of these sons could be supported by him.
Thinking of his own sons who were ineffective, he felt panicked in his heart.
Another reason was that he was angry at the time. For a long time, he considered himself to be wise, talented and energetic, but he was retired by the fourth game, and he was in a coma for so many days.
Concubine Xian was sobbing and begging all the time. Emperor Ming was a little impatient, but he couldn't ignore her face either. So he turned his head and said to Zhao Ling, "Girl from the Zhao family, tell me, what should I do with the fourth prince?"
Zhao Ling cursed secretly. You old emperor were really insidious, you couldn't step down by yourself, and you have to pull me into the water too?
She pondered for a while, and said carefully, "The fourth prince's crime of driving the sphere by surprise should be punished, but it is normal for you to come and go on the sports field, and it is normal to miss a moment. At the same time the heart is also rare. The emperor is benevolent, generous, and reasonable. He has imprisoned the fourth prince in the sky prison for these days. He must only want to punish the fourth prince and make him remember not to be so rash in the future, and also ask the concubine Xian to relax. The emperor has just woken up. His body is still very weak, and he needs a good rest, why don't the concubine Xian go back to restore her spirits, and come back to the Funing Hall tomorrow to take care of your illness?"
She had heard Meng Yuan say that among the princes of Emperor Ming, Meng Tianlin, the fourth prince, was the purest in mind and had a straightforward personality. It was a momentary miss. How could Emperor Ming not know? He just needed a step down.
She didn't know if he was satisfied with the steps she laid for him?
After some long seconds, Emperor Ming couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart. This girl from the Zhao family really had some insight and courage. She was so eloquent and witty, and it was more than enough to match that of the boy, Meng Yuan.
Concubine Xian listened to Zhao Ling's words, and she paused. She cast a grateful look at Zhao Ling, and immediately made a request to Emperor Ming to come to serve with the doctor early in the morning, and then accepted Xiang Ming as soon as she saw it.
Her son should be fine. On the way back to her bedroom, she thought about it and felt a lot more at ease. The woman who spoke out to save her from the siege just now must be the future Princess Xuan who had been rumored in the capital recently.
Seeing it today, she had to agree that the minister's daughter was indeed talented and well-deserved.
After Concubine Xian retired, Emperor Ming leaned on the head of the bed, staring at Zhao Ling with an inexplicable look on his face, and she felt a little nervous when she saw it. Zhao Ling lowered her eyebrows to shade her eyes and stood quietly beside the bed, when she saw Emperor Ming's angry look.
It was said that companions were like companions, did she say something wrong just now?
"Zhao family girl, you are so brave!"
Eunuch Li, who was waiting next to him, trembled, and didn't dare to breathe while standing on the side. He thought to himself. What was the matter with the emperor? He seemed to appreciate Princess Xuan just now, then why did he get angry all of a sudden?
Zhao Ling was also taken aback. Did what he said just now really annoy him? She had no choice but to kneel on the ground again, pretending to be very terrified and saying: "I dare not. As asked, I just confessed my true thoughts in front of the emperor, and I don't want to be hypocritical in front of the emperor. Please rest your anger, your Majesty."
"Why are you so sure that I will let go of the Fourth Prince so easily?" Emperor Ming was still angry and his tone was stern.
Zhao Ling rolled her eyes secretly, and slandered in her heart. ~That's what you meant, it was just that you can't hold your face in front of Concubine Xian. I've helped you out, but you're still angry. Such an awkward temper is a bit like Meng Yuan's guy.~
Just a respectful look on his face. "The emperor is very careful, and he will definitely understand the pure heart of the fourth prince."
Zhao Ling felt really sad in her heart. ~This was your Meng family's own family affairs, okay? The fourth prince is your son. You could keep him in prison for as long as you like, and it had no relationship whatsoever with me.~
"Okay, let me get up. I just saw through your mind, and you'll do well not to take all my words to heart, child.." Emperor Ming said with a smile.
