Chapter 613: Outrageous! Xuan Yue

"Your Majesty, the situation is this: we received a letter in Shamen County informing us that the eldest princess is getting engaged. Mother and the others are still investigating things in Shamen County and are worried that we won't be able to make it back in time, so they asked Chengfeng and Jifeng to take us back to attend the princess's engagement ceremony. My second brother and I arrived home last night, and today we're here to pay our respects to Your Majesty."

Erbao echoed, "We rode a golden eagle back at night. We blew on it for half the night, and my face is stiff. I can't smile anymore. Your Majesty, look at me, am I not as handsome as before?"

Xuan Huang laughed loudly, "Okay, it's fine if you two come back first. Princess Fu'an is also very generous. She doesn't worry about you two little guys being golden eagles alone and flying back in the middle of the night. It's such a long way! She is not afraid of any accidents."

The fact that they were able to come back first shows that they take him, the emperor, seriously.

I feel relieved.

I had nightmares for several days and felt very uncomfortable. Now that I see the two little ones have returned to Beijing early, I finally feel better.

Dabao replied seriously, "Uncle Emperor, we are safe on the backs of Chengfeng. Golden eagles are very spiritual and are familiar with the route to and from Shamen County. This is not their first time flying, so there will be no problem. It's just that we can't carry too much weight on long-distance flights. If it were a short trip, Mom and Dad could come back together. However, Mom and Dad said they would return to Beijing as soon as possible."

"That's good." Xuan Huang continued, "What are your parents investigating in Shamen County? What difficulties have they encountered?"

Dabao looked around and saw several palace servants serving him.

Smile without saying anything.

Xuan Huang understood and asked his attendants to leave.

Dabao then said, "Father and mother are investigating the matter of Baihualou. They suspect that Baihualou has some connection with the people in Shamen County..."

He told Xuan Huang roughly what Jiang Lianzhu wanted to investigate.

This is serious business.

After listening to this, Xuan Huang nodded, "So that's how it is. They are doing the right thing. They can't let go of any suspicious points."

He suppressed his subconscious dissatisfaction with Liao Jiu and the others' delay in returning to Beijing.

Then, he asked whether the burial of Jiang Cheng went smoothly.

Dabao answered them one by one.

She also talked about some things in the countryside, "We also brought some autumn pear paste, and we will send some to the palace for His Majesty to try."

After finishing their discussion about their return home, Dabao expressed concern for Emperor Xuan's health. "Your Majesty, you look unwell. Has your headache gotten worse recently?"

Xuan Huang looked listless, with big dark circles under his eyes and a swollen face.

"I haven't been sleeping well lately. I'm prone to nightmares at night. I already have trouble sleeping because of a headache, and now I have nightmares even when I fall asleep. I've asked Master Dazhi to chant some sutras to exorcise evil spirits for me today..."

Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.

Master Dazhi came outside to ask for a meeting.

Xuanhuang summoned Master Dazhi to come in, and Dabao and Erbao greeted him.

It is inconvenient to chant sutras with outsiders.

Dabao and Erbao said goodbye.

Emperor Xuan did not keep them because he was in poor condition and could not take care of them. He told them to come back to the palace when they were free.

Dabao and Erbao walked out of the palace.

Dabao recalled Xuanhuang's haggard face and felt a little worried.

While walking with Erbao, he whispered, "Let's go to the palace tomorrow to check on the emperor's condition. We can persuade him to ask our mother to treat him, or, after mother returns to the capital, we can ask her to treat him."

Erbao replied, "Well, it does make me worried. Mother treated the Emperor's headache a while ago, and he said he was much better, didn't she? Why does he look so haggard so soon after we returned to the countryside?"

My spirits have dropped a lot.

The two of them walked along another palace path and arrived at the side door of the palace.

At this moment, several people appeared from the corner, led by the arrogant prince, followed by several palace guards with strong martial arts skills.

I don’t know if he was guarding here well prepared, or if he just happened to meet him.

The prince blocked their way, his nose in the air, and said, "Hey, isn't this Xuan Xi and Xuan Yue? I'm sure I'm seeing things!"

Dabao and Erbao had no choice but to pay their respects to the prince.

In fact, both of them were impatient to see the prince again.

Especially Erbao. The last incident planted a shadow in his heart, and he had a very bad impression of the prince.

That rubbish prince is not even half as charming and graceful as his brother.

The prince made small talk, "Xuan Xi, Xuan Yue, didn't you two go back to your hometown with your country bumpkin mother? Why are you back again? Tell me the truth, did you come back riding my golden eagle?"

He still couldn't forget the golden eagles, even though his mother told him not to think about the two golden eagles in Prince Xiang's mansion anymore.

Later, he was not happy to be caught in the mountains.

That will take time!

There is something ready-made, why not just get it?

His mother said that the Xiangwang Mansion now had a strong backer in the Zhan Wang, and things were different now. The Zhan Wang was not someone to be trifled with. She told him not to lose sight of the big picture, as if he lost the Zhan Wang's favor, he might not be able to hold on to the throne in the future.

He doesn't believe it!

No matter how powerful the War King was, he was only a minister. He would one day be the supreme ruler, the Emperor's son by destiny! He wanted to remove the War King from office, confiscate his military power, and send other capable men to take over. He would still be able to maintain peace and tranquility in Da'an. The War King was just a boast made up by some people. In reality, no matter how great his power was, wasn't it given to him by the Emperor?

It's written in the book, "All under heaven is the king's land, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects..."

He is the king, he is the minister. If the king wants the minister to die, the minister must die...

So, he took advantage of his mother's inattention and slipped out to play again. He just heard Xuan Xi and others entering the palace, while Jiang Lianzhu, Liao Jiu and others had not returned yet. Xuan Xi and Xuan Yue came back first, riding on a golden eagle. Their parents were not back, and there was no one to support them. They were timid and cowardly. As long as he said a few harsh words to scare them, there was no guarantee that Xuan Xi and others would send the golden eagle into the palace.

On this side, Erbao looked up at the sky in silence after hearing what the prince said.

"Xuanye, who's riding your golden eagle? The ones we're riding belong to our parents, Governor Liao, and Princess Fu'an! What does it have to do with you, Xuanye?"

The prince didn't even want to shout anymore.

Call him by his first name.

This kind of thing is not worthy of the title of prince.

He had no benevolence at all, just like the thugs who robbed people in the countryside. Erbao Ye had seen a lot of them.

No need to give him face.

Still thinking about their golden eagle, dreaming.

The prince was furious. "How dare you! Xuan Yue, how dare you speak to the prince like that? As soon as you return to the capital, you come to harass my father. What do you mean? He is my father. No matter how much you try to curry favor with him, you can't catch up to half of my dignity. Your mother is so great that she became the Princess of Fu'an, but she is still a country bumpkin. You two are also country bumpkins. How dare you keep monopolizing my golden eagle? Do you think you are worthy?"
