Chapter 1058 Catching the Thief
Duke Fuguo's Mansion is relatively close to the imperial city and adjacent to the Prince's Mansion. The emperor didn't want to attract too much attention, so he didn't go through the main entrance, turned around, and appeared at the back door.
Looking at the closed back door, the emperor didn't even need to give orders, the guard secretly protecting him had already climbed over the wall and opened the door.
After the door opened, the emperor took Eunuch An and walked in.
Looking at the fallen leaves all over the yard, the emperor frowned and coldly snorted: "It's time for the servants in this house to take care of themselves." The master didn't even dare to sweep the yard when he was away.
"Master."
The guard looked in the direction of the flowers and trees on the wall, and whispered to the emperor: "There are two children hidden behind the flowers and trees."
Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Children?
Where did the child from Duke Fuguo’s residence come from? Is it from Yeyang’s family?
The emperor was filled with interest, signaled the guards to step back, and walked towards the flowers and trees.
Before he even got close, the emperor saw the two small figures hiding behind the flowers and trees.
The two children were leaning against each other with their hands on their knees. After glancing at their clothes, the emperor knew the identities of the two children.
The twins born to Yeyang!
The corners of the emperor's mouth couldn't help but turn up a little. The two little babies must have just turned three years old. When they saw a stranger climbing over the wall, they didn't cry or scream, but hid themselves. They were smart.
"Ahem~"
The emperor wanted to tease the two children, so he coughed deliberately, and then saw the two children trembling.
"No, he found us."
"Sister, what should we do now?"
"Mom and dad are in the house. As long as we scream, they will come to save us. Don't be afraid."
Dao Mang comforted his younger brother, then stood up fiercely, put his hands on his waist, and looked at the emperor angrily: "Are you a thief?"
At this moment, the emperor opposite had been stunned by the little girl's little face that looked exactly like his biological mother, and he didn't react at all for a while.
"Brother, he was scared by me!"
Seeing the emperor looking at her blankly, the little girl Daomang showed a proud smile.
Daomiao, who stood up with her sister, saw that the prince was really frightened, and immediately looked at his sister with admiration: "Sister, you are so awesome."
As he said that, he glanced at Eunuch An, who was standing behind the emperor and did not dare to make any rash move.
"Sister, is that person behind you a fool? Look, he just stared at us and didn't even say come and catch us!"
The little girl Daomang looked at Eunuch An, and nodded her little head in agreement. The velvet flower tassels on the left and right buns swayed, coupled with the little girl's big black eyes and cute little expression, it made people's hearts beat.
It’s time to melt.
When Eunuch An heard Daomiao calling him a fool, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, but when he thought that the emperor had become a thief, it seemed that it was okay for him to be a fool.
At this time, the emperor recovered from the shock, stared at Dao Mang with surprise and joy, and walked towards the two children.
This startled the twins. Daomiao thought of her father's usual instructions to protect her sister when she was outside, so she immediately pulled Daomang behind her and pointed at the emperor in a forceful manner.
"Little thief, stop and don't come near us anymore, otherwise, my father will arrest you and beat you up."
Daomang stretched out his little head from behind the rice seedlings: "My dad is very powerful. If you don't run, you won't be able to escape. Run quickly, it will hurt if you get hit with a board."
Seeing the two children's guarded and nervous faces, the emperor stopped and looked at the twins with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I...I am not a thief."
The twins gave the emperor a "don't lie to us" expression.
Daomiao puffed up her face: "You are a thief. Mom said, only thieves will climb over the wall and enter other people's homes."
Daomang nodded repeatedly: "You are not a good person. You are obviously a thief, but you still don't admit it. I tell you, this mansion belongs to my brother, and you are not allowed to steal anything here."
Looking at the eloquent twins, the emperor was a little dumbfounded and couldn't help but step closer again.
"Stop, if you don't stop, we will call someone!"
After all, he was a child. Seeing the emperor getting closer and closer, Daomiao and Daomang were so frightened that they backed away.
"Dad, Mom, someone is trying to arrest us, come and save us!"
Although Daomiao usually doesn't like to talk much, her voice is really loud. When she makes a sound, even the emperor is so scared that he doesn't dare to take another step.
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang naturally would not let the twins run around alone. In addition to the maids and mothers-in-law who were serving them in the open, there were also secret guards watching in the dark.
Just now the twins were playing hide and seek in the yard, and the maid and mother-in-law retreated behind the stone arch. As soon as the emperor and Eunuch An appeared, they and the secret guards discovered it.
The reason why he didn't show up was because he was stopped by the guards.
Now the two young masters were frightened, and the maid and mother-in-law didn't dare to show up again, so they ran out one after another.
When the twins saw someone coming, they felt more confident.
Dao Mang waved her little hand domineeringly: "Nanny, you are here just in time. My brother and I encountered two thieves. Please arrest them quickly."
However, before they finished speaking, the twins saw the maid and mother-in-law kneeling on the ground.
This confused the twins.
Looking at the confused expressions of the two children, the emperor stepped forward with a smile.
When he took a step forward, the two children took a step back.
Seeing this, the emperor had no choice but to stop about two meters away from them and asked kindly: "Are you Daomang Daomiao?"
The twins both grew up with small mouths.
With the maid and mother-in-law present, Dao Mang became more courageous. He stood up from behind Dao Miao and looked at the emperor in confusion: "Little thief, how do you know our names?"
When the emperor heard the little girl's name, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch. Just when he was about to say something, he heard the brat beside him say: "Sister, that's wrong. Look, he has white hair. He's not a thief, he's a thief."
Old thief."
As soon as these words came out, the maids and women kneeling on the ground were frightened.
The wet nurse was worried that the twins would anger the emperor, so she quickly kowtowed and pointed out the emperor's identity: "My servants pay homage to the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."
"Your Majesty?"
The twins opened their little mouths slightly and looked at the person in front of them in surprise.
......
At the same time, the eldest princes who had 'accidentally met' on the street arrived in front of the main entrance of Duke Fuguo's Mansion. They all received news that the emperor had walked towards Duke Fuguo's Mansion after leaving the palace.
Then he followed.
"After the Duke Fu's mansion was given to him by his father, he hasn't received outsiders yet. I heard that Mr. and Mrs. Yeyang brought their children to clean it today. Let's go in and have a look."
"This is a good idea. I heard that my father asked the Ministry of Industry to make great efforts to repair this place. I just want to take a look at the scenery inside today."
The eldest prince and the second prince sang in harmony, the fifth prince and the sixth prince came forward to knock on the door, and the fourth prince stood at the end with Xiao Mofeng.
Originally, the fourth prince had no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the eldest prince, but since his eldest son Mo Feng came back from Xiliang, he has been valued by his father and has become the most watched grandson.
This stirred up the calm heart of the fourth prince. He didn't dare to think too much. He just wanted to let his son get more holy favors and have a good future. Therefore, when he received the news that his father was leaving the palace today, he couldn't bear it.
