But no matter what, she had to try her best!

If a person cannot protect himself and cannot avoid being manipulated by others, then what freedom is there to speak of?

"I will recall all the Purple Guards surrounding Chi Tang. I will also assign a pair of higher-ranking Purple Guards to protect her. Your requests..."

Emperor Huiwu glanced at Huo Chenyi and felt a pang of sadness when he saw how nervous the boy was.

When has this child ever been so nervous and scared?

Furthermore, they never made any demands.

Now that he has desires, he should be happy, but...

"uncle!"

Huo Chenyi suddenly softened his voice and called out to his uncle, a term he rarely used.

Emperor Huiwu immediately softened his stance and agreed: "Alright, I will grant all your requests. However, there must be a few members of the Purple Imperial Guards openly protecting Chi Tang. At least two Purple Imperial Guards must remain to provide close protection for Chi Tang."

This is the bottom line!

Chi Tang's importance to Da Sheng is now unparalleled by anyone else!

If Emperor Huiwu hadn't been worried that confining Chi Tang to the palace would backfire and provoke her resistance, he wouldn't have minded keeping Chi Tang confined to the palace for her entire life.

After all, there is no safer place in the world than the imperial palace.

But Chi Tang was no ordinary person, and Emperor Huiwu dared not gamble on it!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Huiwu sneered: "What, you've gotten what you wanted, and now that you've used me, I'm Your Majesty again, not your uncle? Your speed in discarding me after using me is truly unparalleled in this world!"

Who is this person?!

You just agreed, didn't you?

So he stopped calling him "uncle."

"puff!"

Chi Tang couldn't help but laugh.

Emperor Huiwu seems to be jealous of someone else!

Just as rumored, Emperor Huiwu truly doted on his nephew, Huo Chenyi.

I wonder what His Majesty's attitude is towards his own son. Is it possible that he doesn't love him as much as he loves Huo Chenyi?

"uncle."

Huo Chenyi softened again.

Emperor Huiwu was overjoyed and couldn't contain himself any longer: "Alright, alright, now take Chi Tang to choose people. Remember to keep a low profile!"

If you're too high-profile, it will backfire.

What they want is to protect Chi Tang!

"yes!"

"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty! You are truly the best emperor in the past five thousand years!"

Emperor Huiwu squinted and suddenly asked, "Five thousand years of history?"

Chi Tang realized she had accidentally let something slip, and immediately chuckled, glancing at Huo Chenyi to change the subject.

The latter immediately said, "Then, Uncle, we'll go choose first."

Then, without waiting for Emperor Huiwu to say anything, he pulled Chi Tang away.

You can still hear Emperor Huiwu cursing in the background.

"These two brats!"

Emperor Huiwu pinched the bridge of his nose and directly ordered, "Kill all the Purple Guards who protected Chi Tang before."

Zhou Ruhai was terrified.

They were all killed?

Training these Purple Guards is extremely difficult!

Seeing Zhou Ruhai hesitate, Emperor Huiwu gave him a sharp look: "What, don't you understand?"

"This old servant will take care of it immediately."

Zhou Ruhai lowered his head and immediately went to give the instructions.

Emperor Huiwu leaned back on the dragon throne with a cold expression.

Chi Tang is so important!

As for those Imperial Guards, he had clearly instructed them that as long as they didn't disregard human life or harm the interests of the imperial court and the royal family, they should all obey her!

But he just had to be so clever!

The Purple Guards don't need to be smart, they just need to be loyal enough!

"Give the order: Princess Xingyao has been disrespectful before the Emperor. Punish her by confining her residence for three months and making her kneel before the Buddha and recite scriptures for two hours every day!"

"……yes."

Everyone serving in the Imperial Study was shocked that Emperor Huiwu would punish Princess Xingyao for Chi Tang's sake! They immediately became alert, realizing they must not offend Chi Tang.

At the same time, the winds of not daring to offend Chi Tang swept through the harem at lightning speed.

As for the previous dynasty...

Naturally, no one knew.

Emperor Huiwu strictly forbade anyone to spread news about Chi Tang, and even killed many people for this, so no one dared to break the law again.

At this moment, Nan Xingyao was unaware that she had been punished by Emperor Huiwu, and was busy sowing discord in Consort Chen's palace.

At first, Consort Chen was very polite, treating it as just a noisy parrot. But later, she got so annoyed by it that she directly retorted:

"If you don't like someone and want to deal with them, then do it yourself. Coming here to provoke me, do you think I'm an idiot?"

Consort Chen remained calm and composed, casually pruning the flowers, clearly not taking Nan Xingyao seriously.

She is already very content with her life now, as she is living such a good life.

Have they had enough of living?

Why get involved in these messy things?

not to mention……

Consort Chen narrowed her eyes as she thought of that person, but quickly calmed herself down.

She considers the past as an insignificant experience in her life, something she no longer needs to dwell on.

"Your Highness! This Chi family..."

"No matter what the Chi family is like, what have they done to me? Why should I take action against them? Is it for you? What did I say that gave you this misconception that I could stand up for you? Hmm? Tell me, so I can change."

Nan Xingyao was so angry she almost vomited blood!

This is hardly the demeanor one would expect from a favored concubine.

"Your Highness! I am, after all, the Emperor's uncle's niece. If you are unwilling to help, then don't help. Why insult me?"

"Oh, so this is an insult to you?"
