C6 Enter the Palace

Xiao Yueshan tried his best to remain expressionless. "What is it?"

Lee Buyan's lips lifted slightly. "It is something that cannot be said."

After teasing the beautiful man for a while, Lee Buyan was in a good mood. In Xiao Yueshan's eyes, she looked innocent and cute. In fact, he could see that ever since she entered the Lee family, she seemed to be wearing an upper layer mask, and her mood was very low.

"Let's get down to business." Lee Buyan sat up, "The jade that I need is not valuable enough, but it must be rare. The jade in the mansion is indeed good, but it is far from enough."

Besides, she thought that Xiao Yueshan also needed an opportunity to prove that the money in Ninth Prince's Mansion was not used for the army.

The Emperor would always be more at ease about a prince who was grand and luxurious because of a woman.

At this moment, a young eunuch said through the door, "Your Royal Highness, His Majesty sent someone to invite you and the Princess to the Palace."

"Got it," Xiao Yueshan replied and looked at Lee Buyan.

"Do you think it is my father or Xiao Chengshu?"

Xiao Yueshan smiled helplessly. "I guess both."

In the throne room of the palace.

Zhou Xiu's father, Master Zhou, knelt in front of the Imperial Palace with snot and tears in his eyes. He cried, "Your Majesty, you must make the decision for my daughter. Ninth Prince's actions are simply..."

"Enough." The Emperor interrupted him and pinched between his brows. "The matter is not concluded yet. Lord Zhou, please get up first."

The Emperor was very annoyed that his afternoon nap was disturbed. Usually, he did not see Zhou De dote on his daughter much. Today, he cried happily.

Not long after, young eunuch came in to report. Unfortunately, it was not Xiao Yueshan who came, but Lee Buyan's father, Lee Shoucheng.

Lee Shoucheng and Zhou De had never gotten along well. Now that he saw Zhou De's angry face, Lee Shoucheng was confused.

The Emperor was even more annoyed. "The Left Minister is here too? Is it because of your daughter?"

Lee Shoucheng nodded. "The king knows that I am here to kidnap Ninth Prince's daughter."

The Emperor: "???"

Zhou De was confused."

The Emperor didn't know what to say. He just waited for Xiao Yueshan to explain himself.

Another hour passed. Lee Shoucheng's waist hurt when he stood there. Xiao Yueshan and Lee Buyan finally arrived late.

"This son greets Royal Father."

Lee Buyan did not know how to shout. In the end, she still followed Xiao Yueshan and said, "My daughter-in-law greets Royal Father."

The Emperor looked at her and said,... "I am not in a hurry to call you. I called the two of you over because I have something to clarify."

Xiao Yueshan said respectfully, "Your son is all ears."

The Emperor first pointed at Lee Shoucheng and said, "MALE2 said you kidnapped his second daughter."

He then pointed at Zhou De. "Master Zhou said you killed his first daughter."

Lee Buyan stood by the side and looked at the Emperor as if he was saying the couplets. She almost laughed out loud and silently said in her heart, Why do you have to do everything?

Xiao Yueshan straightened his body and expressionlessly looked at Lee Shoucheng and Zhou De. He softly said one word. "Oh?"

Lee Shoucheng coughed and said with a coy smile, "Your majesty, Your Highness, this official's matter is not urgent. It is better to deal with Lord Zhou first."

Sweat appeared on Zhou De's forehead. He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, saying, "Your Highness, my daughter Zhou Xiu was originally engaged to you, but on the day of marriage... My daughter went missing for no reason, but you did not make a sound and did not blame the Zhou family. Instead, you turned around and married someone from the Lee family. This official guessed that my daughter's disappearance must have something to do with your Royal Highness. "

Although he kept howling just now, if he really faced War God from the Great Chu, his legs would still be weak. But now that he was on Xiao Chengshu's pirate ship, he could only try his best to drag Xiao Yueshan into the water.

"Conjecture?" Xiao Yueshan smiled. "Master Zhou, it's a pity that you don't want to be a storyteller with such imagination. Why didn't I make a public announcement? Don't you know?"

Zhou De's expression changed slightly. "I do not know what His Royal Highness is talking about. I only hope that if my daughter is still alive, His Royal Highness can tell me where she is. I promise that I will not let my daughter disturb you and the new princess, and I will not go out and say anything."

These words were like a heart attack. He almost said that Xiao Yueshan and Lee Buyan colluded together and plotted against Zhou Xiu.

Lee Shoucheng could not tolerate it anymore. "You..."

"Cough!"

He had just said one word when he was interrupted by Lee Buyan. He received a glare from his own daughter and obediently shut his mouth.

Xiao Yueshan coldly snorted, "This king originally did not speak out because of the face of the Zhou family. Looks like Lord Zhou did not appreciate it."

After saying that, he bowed to the Emperor, "Royal Father, I sincerely request this son to bring a witness to meet the Emperor."

There was nothing the Emperor could not do. "Men, announce!"
