Hold the thick thighs tightly [My father is a traitor]

Chapter 882 Another Day of Taking the Blame

As soon as the word "Nuan Fei" fell from her lips, the Empress Dowager stood up in shock, dropping the teacup on the table with a cracking sound.

"Whatever you say, January won't wake up."

The emperor's expression also turned unhappy. He glanced at "Nuan Fei" and ordered: "Give them the antidote."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the "Nuan Fei" began to act like a demon. She walked slowly to the emperor's side, shook his arm, and said coquettishly: "Oh, Your Majesty, I have worked so hard, and you don't even show any appreciation."

Sheng Jingchen: →_→

The emperor suppressed his emotion and was about to speak when the empress dowager beside him said anxiously, "Whatever reward you want, I will grant it to you. Go and wake them up quickly."

Upon hearing this, "Nuan Fei" hurriedly looked at the creditor, and seeing him nod imperceptibly, she proudly let go of her hand and walked back to the bed.

The emperor glanced at the old woman beside him and said in a calm tone, "I'm sorry for the expense, Queen Mother. The Imperial Treasury is empty and we need to live frugally."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Queen Mother looked back at him angrily, as if to say, "I don't know you yet!"

Sheng Jingchen calmly withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the bed.

Just at this moment, there was a slight movement from the quiet bed, and the two unconscious children finally woke up.

The two of them stood up at the same time and walked towards the bed. They saw the two little kids stretching one after another and slowly opening their eyes.

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed and bent down impatiently, calling out, "Sister Qing is awake!"

When Xiao Yining heard the sound, his mind was still stuck in the scene of "fellow villagers meet and shoot each other in the back" and he didn't react immediately.

She blinked her eyes and rolled them around. A figure she had been thinking about day and night suddenly caught her eye. She couldn't help but smile widely.

When the Empress Dowager saw this scene, she couldn't help but smile with relief and reached out her hands to pick up the baby.

Who would have thought that the next moment, the little girl sat up from the couch, excitedly hugged the emperor's thigh, and said coquettishly: "Uncle, Qingjie missed you so much!"

Queen Mother: ...

The emperor turned his hands behind his back and nodded gently, "I'm glad you're alright."

Xiao Yining: (个_个), the reaction of the thick thighs is not right, is it because of the golden bed?

The little kid raised his head and looked at the old baby, and saw him glance sideways at the "Nuan Fei" and ordered: "Go and wake up Princess Jiahe and the others."

"Nuan Fei" said "hmm" reluctantly and walked out slowly.

Seeing this, Xiao Yining pouted and asked aggrievedly, "Why doesn't Uncle hold Qingjie? Doesn't he like Qingjie anymore?"

Sheng Jingchen hesitated for a moment, lowered his eyes, and replied lovingly: "Qingjie'er just woke up, sit on the bed first, uncle will hold you later."

"Oh!" Little Yining didn't hesitate, let go of her hand, and sat down obediently.

The Emperor glanced at the sulking Empress Dowager and said, "If you want to hold the child, please hold the other one first. Sister Qing is not as healthy as other children her age, so let her take some time off first."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she became furious again. She glared at him and replied, "No need. I'm afraid of being contaminated."

Wang Gungun, who had just figured out where he was, looked up blankly when he heard this. Just as he was about to ask what the smell was, he heard a sneer in his ear.

"You two still want to be hugged by the elders. You wet the bed last night and you still smell like it. The elders are disgusted with you two!"

Two little ones: (?_?), wetting the bed?

Hearing this sudden ridicule, Xiao Yining and Wang Gungun's faces instantly turned red with anger. They both shouted back in unison: "I didn't wet the bed, it was Brother Hu who did!"

The culprit had already waved his handkerchief and walked towards the room of other victims.

Little Yining raised her head with tears in her eyes and emphasized to the old baby again: "Uncle, Qingjie really didn't wet the bed!"

The emperor nodded without comment and said, "Sister Qing will stay in the palace for the next few days. Mother, please call a few palace maids to change Sister Qing's clothes. I see her clothes are soaked with sweat from sleeping."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, the little kid burst into tears: "Wow, uncle doesn't believe Qingjie!"

Sheng Jingchen: ..., the child is too smart to be fooled!

Fortunately, at this moment, Pei Dafu came hurriedly from outside and stopped the baby from crying with his words.

His face was solemn, and before he even entered the house, he said impatiently, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor took the opportunity to leave the bed and sit back down at the table.

The Queen Mother finally had the chance to pick up little Yining. She did not forget the other one and led Wang Gungun off the bed.

Seeing Pei Dafu's appearance, Sheng Jingchen's face returned to its usual cold tone and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Pei Dafu quickly reported, "Your Majesty, last night seventeen families in the capital sent their daughters out of the city. As a result, all of these girls disappeared last night. A total of 28 girls and eleven women were lost. They were all the wives of officials, both civil and military."

As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor's face suddenly darkened, and he angrily cursed, "What a bunch of idiots! What are the Jingzhao Yin and Zuoshiwei doing? They didn't even notice what happened at the city gate?"

Pei Dafu swallowed his saliva and replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, the granddaughter of Jingzhao Yin and Commander Xu's daughter are also missing."

"Ah? Sister Xu and Sister Zhang are missing too?" Little Yining counted on her fingers in disbelief, trying to figure out how many classmates were missing.

The Empress Dowager sneered, "Haha, Your Majesty, it seems these people are afraid that the events of more than 20 years ago will resurface, and they want to follow your lover's example and leave the capital to save their lives."

The emperor's eyebrows twitched, and he looked at the empress dowager with a deep gaze, and solemnly declared: "Mother, I have no interest in married men.

The Queen Mother kept smiling unconcernedly and looked back at him without showing any sign of weakness.

Pei Dafu sensed a peculiar atmosphere and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Jingzhao Yin has sent soldiers to search outside the city for any clues. Furthermore, Lin Yuzan and Prince Wang are both unconscious and have been taken to the Jingzhao Yin residence. Princess Jiahe's servants have all collapsed on the road, also unconscious. The Jingzhao Yin has asked Imperial Physician Cui to come and take a look."

When the emperor heard the plight of the two old men, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Back off!"

Pei Dafu responded respectfully and retreated without hesitation.

The Empress Dowager glanced at the departing figure and said with a half-smile, "I wonder if the person behind the scenes kidnapped so many girls because he's trying to uncover the truth of what happened over twenty years ago. After all, if you want others to know, you better not do it yourself. Even if you cover it up the most, it will eventually be exposed. Don't you agree, Your Majesty?"

Sheng Jingchen glanced at her obscurely, then said to the little kid in her arms, "Qing Jie'er, you will live with your grandma, your mother, and Concubine Nuan for the next few days."

Queen Mother: ...

"Your Majesty, you..." The old woman's chest heaved violently again, and she was obviously very angry.

The emperor ignored her and continued, "Don't stay in Fushou Palace. The rebels who want to force the emperor to abdicate are coming. This place is not safe."
