Chapter 247 "I beg the Emperor to grant Madam Yan permission to return to the Eastern Palace an
Holding Hui'er in her arms, she patted him lovingly.
"Hui'er, are you scared?"
Hui'er was indeed very scared.
When the fire started, the first person he thought of was actually Nanny Yan.
Remembering that Nanny Yan had already left the Eastern Palace, he placed his hopes on his father and mother.
But as the fire grew bigger, the temperature around it became frighteningly high.
Even before the fire reached his feet, he felt as if he was already on fire...
He finally started to panic.
Tears flowed uncontrollably.
He thought that if he died like this, he would be too pitiful.
Clearly, the Queen Mother had just woken up...
He hadn't even told her that he had forgiven her.
He didn't blame her for being unconscious for so long, nor did he blame her for abandoning him...
So, the moment he saw his father rushing into the sea of fire to save him, he made up his mind.
When he gets out alive, he will definitely call her "Mother" in person!
Just like all children with mothers, she loves and protects her, and acts coquettishly towards her.
But before he left the sea of fire with billowing black smoke, he heard his mother's anxious call.
Listen to the sound, she is rushing in!
She is...looking for him!
He became more panicked and afraid.
I'm so afraid that something bad will happen to my mother because of him...
In that case, his father would not forgive him, and he would not forgive himself either.
Fortunately, my father intercepted my mother!
Fortunately, the fire did not separate the three of them again...
He never wants to lose his temper again.
He should cherish the days he spends with his mother.
Don't leave regrets in your life...
He hugged Shen Changle's neck tightly and gently wiped away the dust and tears on her face.
"Don't cry, mother. The emperor is fine."
Shen Changle was even more moved.
Her return...
Finally he was willing to call her mother again!
Great, great...
She nodded, but tears were still streaming.
I hugged Hui'er tightly, feeling mixed emotions.
Seeing this, Jiang Ci'an's eyes became a little moist.
fair enough……
If we lose our horses, we can't know what a blessing is.
Hui'er finally figured it out.
He held the mother and son in his arms, put his arm around Shen Changle's waist, and helped wipe her tears.
"Okay, Changle, stop crying, let's get out of here first, shall we?"
"Uh-huh……"
"Shall I take the child back?"
Shen Changle shook her head, held Hui'er's red and hot face close to hers, and carried him all the way back to the bedroom.
After changing clothes, she asked Qingying to prepare water so that she could help Huier take a bath herself.
Hui'er was a little shy at first, but later she felt at ease.
after all……
This is his biological mother!
He accepted from the bottom of his heart the fact that his mother had returned to him and that she loved him very much.
Under Shen Changle's lead, he also played with her by splashing water.
But he was as careful as Jiang Ci'an and didn't get her newly changed clothes wet...
After washing, Shen Changle carried Hui'er to the main hall.
Jiang Ci'an also changed into his regular clothes and was dealing with the arsonist—
The guard who had pleaded for the female musician.
He was escorted by the guards and knelt in the hall, his face full of resentment.
Jiang Ci'an asked sternly:
"Who gave you the courage to burn down the East Palace?"
The guard sneered and raised his eyes, but his gaze drifted to Shen Changle who had just entered.
His eyes gradually became resentful and vicious.
He struggled endlessly like a trapped beast.
"Why? Why won't you save her?
Everyone says you are kind and virtuous, and can suppress tyrants!
But I said I was willing to exchange my life for yours, why wouldn't you save my Ying'er? "
"Ying'er?"
Jiang Ci'an was puzzled, and the eunuch stepped forward and whispered an explanation:
"It's the female musician from this morning. This guard pleaded with the Queen, but the Queen never met him..."
Jiang Ci'an was shocked when he heard this.
He was afraid that the guards would tell Shen Changle about his treatment of the female musician, which would make Shen Changle think he was cruel and brutal.
He hurriedly shouted:
"How dare you disrespect the Queen? Drag him away quickly!"
The guards received the order and were about to take the man away, but Shen Changle spoke slowly:
"I have never pleaded for your beloved, if you want to hate someone, you should hate me!
Why did you burn down the East Palace and put the Crown Prince in danger?"
The guard sneered and shook his head.
"The tyrant is a skilled warrior, I can't kill him; the palace is heavily guarded, I can't touch you; so I can only attack the crown prince!
What's more, the tyrant is cruel and bloodthirsty. As the tyrant's biological son, how good can the prince be?
I am doing this to eliminate harm for the people..."
"No, you are wrong!"
Shen Changle's voice lowered slightly, and he stared at him with narrowed eyes, looking intimidating without even getting angry.
"Although the emperor acted arbitrarily, he never killed loyal ministers and good generals. You call him a tyrant, which is a mistake.
He did not ask right from wrong and repeatedly used his position to plead for those who intended to kill the king. This was his second mistake.
When his pleas were in vain, he became angry and set fire to the palace, killing innocent people. This is the third mistake!
These three offenses are enough to have your entire family executed, and your entire clan implicated, and your entire family buried with you!"
The guard struggled, his slightly dilated pupils revealing his inner panic.
"Why should the entire family be executed and three clans implicated?
I didn't assassinate the emperor, and the prince wasn't hurt at all!
I just... I just accidentally burned down a palace!"
Shen Changle sneered, tightened his arms slightly, and hugged Hui'er tightly in his arms.
"If you really hurt Hui'er, do you think I would let you die so easily?"
Hearing this, Jiang Hui couldn't help but look up and look at Shen Changle's soft jaw.
did not expect……
The queen mother, who has always been gentle and soft-spoken, actually has such a fierce side.
The Queen Mother also said that if she really hurt him, she would never let him die so easily...
Hehehe, mother really loves him!
He quietly held Shen Changle's hand and leaned into her arms.
Seeing that the guard was still making a fuss, Jiang Ci'an raised his finger.
Coldly ordered:
"Do as the Empress commands. Also...anyone who dares to disrespect the Empress will be sentenced to death by being torn into pieces by five horses!"
Changle and his men already knew that he was "acting arbitrarily", so why was he still pretending to be a benevolent monarch?
The guard nodded and escorted the wailing guard away.
Outside the door, Jiang Wen and Yan Lan had been waiting for a long time.
Finally, after Jiang Ci'an dealt with the criminals, the two of them entered the main hall under the leadership of Bai Zhi.
As soon as she entered the door, Yan Lan went straight to Hui'er.
He was picked up from Shen Changle's arms, knelt on the ground, and cried with tears and snot.
"Empress, I don't care, I won't leave this time no matter what!
Anyway, I am an old man, you and Your Majesty can kill me or beat me if you want!
I will never leave the palace again. I can’t leave His Royal Highness the Crown Prince alone anymore, my poor Prince…”
Jiang Wen looked at her acting up and awkwardly touched her with his leg, motioning her to get up first.
But she refused to move, as if she was kneeling for a long time and would not get up.
Seeing this, Jiang Ci'an looked at Shen Changle inquiringly, but found that she ignored him!
He swallowed his saliva and had to make his own decision. He asked Xiao Jiang who was pursing her lips:
"Prince, what do you say?"
Xiao Jiang looked back at Yan Lan, who had grown a lot of white hair even though he hadn't seen her for a few days, and felt a little sad and missed her.
He stood up from Yan Lan's arms politely and knelt on his knees.
"Father, I know I was wrong. Nanny Yan is not only the head nanny of the Eastern Palace, she is also my grandmother who loves me dearly.
I beg the Emperor to grant Madam Yan permission to return to the Eastern Palace and accompany the prince as he grows up."
Jiang Ci'an nodded with satisfaction and began to drive people away impatiently:
"In that case, go with your grandparents."
Changle ignored him. He was busy coaxing his wife, sobbing...
