Both Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan looked at each other in astonishment.
Luo Qingyan calmed himself down first, "It's interesting. He hasn't run away yet. How dare he come to the palace?"
"Call him in. Let's hear what he wants to say."
Both of them got to the main hall together. As soon as they sat down, the Grand Tutor entered without any panic. He stopped three steps away from the Emperor and the Empress. And then he bowed, "Hail Your Majesties."
Yun Shang exchanged a look with Luo Qingyan, both of them lost in thought.
"Arise."
The Grand Tutor stood up and lowered his head slightly with a smile on his face, "Your majesties, why did you summon me to the palace?"
Luo Qingyan knocked on the table with his fingers, "Don't you know why I call you here?"
With a confused look on his face, the Grand Tutor replied, "I... I don't know. "
Luo Qingyan fixed his eyes on the Grand Tutor for a long time, but he seemed to know nothing. He just stood with his head down. After a long time, he didn't hear Luo Qingyan or Yun Shang speak. Then he raised his head and looked at them two. Seeing the two people's expressions, he seemed to be slightly stunned and guessed while replying, "This... What happened? "
Luo Qingyan still stared at the Grand Tutor, as if he wanted to see through him,
"You sent your child to the palace?"
The Grand Tutor nodded, "Yes...
The Empress mentioned it before. I was actually a little hesitant at that time. After all, he is my child. He grew up with me. I love him very much. On the one hand, I don't want him to leave me and my wife. On the other hand, I'm worried that he won't get used to living in the palace.
But later, I found that the young master of the Hua clan was in the palace, and the servants took care of him carefully. He was together with the Crown Prince, and had a good time. So I was moved.
After that, I went back to my mansion and discussed with my wife about this. My wife also agreed. Thus I sent Yunhe to the palace."
After saying that, the Grand Tutor frowned slightly. He finally showed a little uneasiness on his face, "But Yunhe in the palace... What happened to him? "
Looking at each other, both Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang immediately read each other's mind from each other's eyes.
Was he telling the truth or was he pretending?
He really knew nothing about the case?
Both of them kept silent for a moment before Yun Shang spoke softly. She didn't tell him what had happened in the past two days. She just asked, "On the second day after his majesty's birthday banquet, why didn't you go to the East Palace to teach the Crown Prince?"
The Grand Tutor still frowned. Hearing Yun Shang's question, he answered without hesitation, "I planned to go to the East Palace, but as soon as I entered the palace, a servant told me that the Crown Prince had a high fever. He asked me not to go to the East Palace.
I followed the servant's idea. I had thought that since I was there, I'd better go to the East Palace to see how the Crown Prince was. But the servant insisted that the Crown Prince was sick and in poor health. The Empress ordered that no one should disturb his rest.
The maid also said that even Their Former Majesties wanted to visit the Crown Prince in the East Palace, but were refused by the Empress.
Hearing what the servant said, I also understood that the Empress did this for the sake of the Crown Prince. If there were always people visiting, it was not good for the Crown Prince to recuperate, so I left the palace."
Yun Shang squinted as if she was thinking whether what he said was true or not.
However, Luo Qingyan had already ordered Liu Wenan, "Liu Wenan."
