Chapter 394 The Emperor Arrives
Not to mention that Lan Zheng didn't know why Huo Qingyun wanted to save his life, even Luo Xiaoran was a little confused by Huo Qingyun's words "common enemy".
Her enemy is Chen Lingyi. Does Huo Qingyun mean that he also wants to seek revenge on Chen Lingyi?
Luo Xiaoran didn't know much about the Huo family, but Chen Ji told her about the death of the former crown prince.
This directly led to turmoil in the Huo family.
It indirectly resolved the Lin family's dilemma in the salt affairs.
From a long-term perspective, Lin Feiyan's adopted son Chen Xuanrui eventually ascended the throne as emperor.
Therefore, Huo Qingyun’s biggest enemy should be the Lin family. As for Chen Lingyi... Could it be that Chen Lingyi is related to the death of the late crown prince?
But she was not yet the powerful eldest princess at that time, so how did she get in?
Luo Xiaoran was thinking in her heart and wanted to ask something, but she couldn't ask it in this place where there were so many people and eyes.
Just at this moment, Lan Zheng's voice rang out.
“I have heard of Lord Huo’s reputation.
If Lord Huo is willing to help, I am sure that my life can be saved."
"Then it's settled."
Huo Qingyun's every move was calm and composed, as if saving a criminal who had set fire to the prison was as easy as breathing.
"I've been fooled by him!" Somehow, this sentence popped up in Luo Xiaoran's mind.
Just when Huo Qingyun was planning to send someone to take Lan Zheng to the imperial prison for strict guard and protection, the arrival of an unexpected person disrupted his and Luo Xiaoran's plans.
"The Emperor has arrived——"
Not far away, the lights around the dragon chariot of Emperor Tianqi were illuminating the gray bluestone road inch by inch, heading towards the sky prison.
"Meet the Emperor!"
The dragon chariot of Emperor Tianqi came to a halt, and a huge crowd of people knelt on the ground.
"Since the founding of the dynasty, there has never been a fire accident in the imperial city. Huo Qingyun, you are a great leader of the imperial guards!"
Luo Xiaoran was a little worried about Huo Qingyun. Protecting the imperial city was the most important duty of the Imperial Guard. When the fire broke out in the Heavenly Prison, it was inevitable that Huo Qingyun, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, would be held accountable...
Sure enough, the next second, Huo Qingyun said bluntly: "I know my crime!"
"Humph!"
Emperor Tianqi narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the burnt black prison gate, and asked:
"What's going on? Tell me!"
Huo Qingyun glanced at Lan Zheng inconspicuously and reported the matter in a deep voice.
"Oh?" Emperor Tianqi became interested. "Is there anyone who wants to assassinate my future aunt by taking advantage of the fire in the prison?"
Luo Xiaoran felt a tingling sensation on her head, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is so kind to me, and I am terrified."
The last time Emperor Tianqi called her "Imperial Aunt" was when Chen Ji agreed to follow him back to the capital.
When Emperor Tianqi addressed him like this, he was shocked on the outside but tender on the inside, and wondered why this young emperor had such a peculiar temperament.
Not to mention that she has not married Chen Ji yet, even if they get married in the future, Emperor Tianqi only needs to call her "Princess Yan" and there is no need to call her "Imperial Aunt" so affectionately.
Luo Xiaoran, the person involved, was so shocked and terrified. When the other people present heard Emperor Tianqi call her "Imperial Aunt", they were so surprised that they thought there was something wrong with their ears.
Huo Qingyun's eyes were a little complicated. He had heard that Emperor Tianqi jokingly called Luo Xiaoran "Imperial Aunt" in Yizhou.
But after all, that happened when only Emperor Tianqi, Prince Yan and Luo Xiaoran were there.
But now, Emperor Tianqi actually called him like that in public, which once again made Huo Qingyun surprised by his behavior.
