"Greetings to Prince Lian, may you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years! Greetings to Prince Gan, may you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years! Greetings to Prince Yong, may you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"

Now, the expressions of everyone in the Cao family could no longer be described with just one word: bitter.

In this far-flung Xijing, they had actually clashed with the four great powers of the Jiuzhou Kingdom. They were doomed!

"Sima Cao, I heard everything you just said. Aren't you planning to capture me and then ask my family to redeem me? Come on, I'll give you this chance. As long as you have the ability, I'll let you capture me today."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

To be able to sit on the position of Grand Marshal at such a young age required not only financial means but also real talent and knowledge. He was a martial arts prodigy, well-known in Xijing, and with hard work and diligence, he slowly climbed to the position of Grand Marshal.

He thought his future was bright, but his brother offended the emperor and the three princes. In order to help him, he even spoke out in front of the emperor and the princes.

Due to excessive fear and despair, Da Sima was frightened to the point of collapsing on the ground, unable to utter a word.

"I apologize for failing to welcome the Emperor. I beg your forgiveness. Did the Emperor come to Xijing to look for the Crown Prince and the princes and princesses?"

Some are happy while others are sad. At this moment, the prefect was so happy that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"...Yes. But the Crown Prince and the others are not here, and I don't plan to stay any longer. Grand Marshal, the theft in your house has nothing to do with me. Why don't you look for someone else?"

"This general...this general...this general..."

The Grand Marshal had never imagined that he would offend the Emperor to such an extent. He was completely devastated. Until now, he couldn't even utter a complete sentence except to kowtow.

"It seems that Da Sima doesn't intend to pursue the matter anymore." Without giving Da Sima a chance to speak, he said, "Master Zhu."

"I am here."

"I have something else to attend to. I ask you to keep a close eye on the Grand Marshal. The Supervisory Council will come to Xijing for an inspection soon."

"yes."

"I and the three princes have something else to do, so we have to leave first."

"I sent someone to escort the emperor away."

"No need. I'll go on my own." After saying that, he looked at Zhu Jintai, who had a dazed look on his face, and said, "Mr. Zhu, you're actually a good person. Don't drool over women in the future. Use your sincerity to impress people, and someone will be willing to be your friend."

Zhu Jintai's eyes welled up. He had to admit, the Emperor was his soulmate. After spending a night with him, he could tell he longed for a friend.

It’s just a pity that the other party is the emperor, and he is not qualified to make friends with such a person.

Seeing Zhu Jintai's red eyes, Baili Yue walked out of the yard and put a clay figurine he bought at the temple fair yesterday in Zhu Jintai's hand.

"This is for you. Thank you for treating us to a meal and playing with us. We had a lot of fun yesterday."

After he finished speaking, Xiaobai and Bailixing also appeared. Xiaoxuanxuan silently said "collect" in his heart, and the few people disappeared into thin air. Xiaobai carried the little buns and flew towards the other agreed destination of the Guo family.

Everyone stared blankly at the empty yard with their mouths open, as if they were dreaming.

The governor slapped his leg hard and said, "They are not the emperor and the princes!
