Now, let's get to this side.
Baili Tang grabbed Tianfeng by the neck and pulled her back into the carriage. "I'm warning you, behave yourself!"
'You fatso!'
'You're so fat, you'll never die!'
'If you arrest me, you're dead!'
'You fatso, you short fatso, you ugly fatso!!!'
Tianfeng kept berating Baili Tang the whole way, and just as they were about to reach the palace gate, Baili Tang couldn't take it anymore.
Enraged, he slammed Tianfeng onto her seat.
With a "snap," Tianfeng saw stars in her eyes.
"You damn bird, if you utter another sound, I'll stew you!"
Upon hearing this, Tianfeng immediately shut her mouth.
Baili Tang looked at Tianfeng, who could understand human speech, and then picked him up from the ground and stuffed him into her sleeve.
"Don't come out, or I'll stew you!"
Tianfeng: "..."
Afterwards, Baili Tang got off the carriage and walked towards the Imperial Study in the palace. By the time he arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Study, his bulky body was covered in sweat.
Just then, Eunuch Huai came out and saw Baili Tang, whom he hadn't seen for over a year, and was stunned for a moment.
"Oh, Your Highness, what brings you here?"
For more than a year, His Majesty had never summoned him, partly because he had lost the Qiankun Sword.
Secondly, the Canglang Kingdom lost all face at this year's Divine Summoning Conference.
"Eunuch Huai, please inform His Majesty that I have something important to discuss with him."
"This..." Eunuch Huai was somewhat embarrassed, after all, His Majesty had said in private that he would refuse all requests for an audience from the Baili family in the future.
"Eunuch Huai." Baili Tang took out a silver ingot from his waist and stuffed it into Eunuch Huai's hand, smiling obsequiously, "Just say that I refused to leave and insisted on seeing you."
Eunuch Huai glanced at the silver in his hand, sighed, and took it. "Alright, Your Highness, please wait here. I'll go in and inform them."
"Thank you very much, Eunuch Huai."
Not long after he went in, Grandpa Huai hurriedly came out, a smile still on his face.
"Your Highness, His Majesty requests your presence."
"Okay, okay." Baili Tang put her hand in her sleeve and pressed down hard before she could get it in.
Inside the Imperial Study.
A middle-aged man dressed in a dragon robe is solemnly reviewing memorials while sitting in a grand chair.
He didn't raise his head until Baili Tang went inside.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject greets you."
Emperor Yun Ao remained silent, silently staring at the memorial, occasionally drawing a circle or crossing it off.
After reviewing about three or four memorials, he finally put down his pen and stretched.
He paused for a moment when his gaze fell on Baili Tang kneeling on the ground.
"Prince Jia, what brings you here?"
Baili Tang twitched the corners of his mouth, but he knew that he was no longer favored by His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, last year I lost the Qiankun Sword in the Holy Kingdom. For more than a year now, I have been unable to eat or sleep properly, and I have been filled with guilt."
"Your Majesty knows that Your Majesty has done many favors for the Baili family because of the Qiankun Sword."
"Your Majesty, I have come today to inform you that envoys from the Holy Kingdom have arrived!"
As soon as Baili Tang finished speaking, Emperor Yun Ao stopped what he was doing.
Are you telling the truth?
"Absolutely true."
Where are they now?
"They're in the imperial prison!"
A hearty laugh echoed from the Imperial Study. It had been a long time since Eunuch Huai had heard His Majesty laugh so happily.
Ever since Baili Tang lost the Qiankun Sword, the Ouyang family's power has become increasingly restless.
Especially these past few days, His Majesty has been reviewing memorials until late at night and hasn't dared to sleep.
"Once the Qiankun Sword is returned to its rightful place, let's see who dares to rebel!"
The table inside the room was slammed down, and Grandpa Huai's heart pounded.
A new emperor brings a new court; if the dynasty changes, these people will likely be punished as well.
Regardless, Eunuch Huai still didn't want anything to happen to Yun'ao Kingdom.
Not long after, Baili Tang walked out of the Imperial Study with a smile. Compared to when he first went in, his current aura was indeed different.
Eunuch Huai bowed to Baili Tang and said, "Respectfully seeing off Your Highness."
Baili Tang paused, then walked forward proudly.
This is the feeling he has had. He hasn't felt this smug in over a year. It's true that being valued by His Majesty makes a difference.
Not long after Baili Tang left, the people in the prison were brought to the palace.
Emperor Yun Ao looked at the group of people, who seemed to be on vacation and showed no fear whatsoever, and his heart sank.
Everyone who saw him would kowtow and beg for mercy in fear, yet these people remained unmoved.
Kneel down!
The Regent said, “I usually kneel down to the dead.” He wasn’t wrong. His father and mother never made him kneel. He always clasped his hands or knelt on one knee. The only people who could make him kneel on both knees were his ancestors.
General Yao: "I will only kneel before him." He pointed to the Regent.
What he said wasn't wrong; he was the regent, so naturally he had to kneel.
Seeing his father's behavior, Yao Qianshu immediately followed suit, saying, "I'll only kneel to you, Father. Do you want to be my father? If you are my father, I'll kneel too!"
Emperor Yun Ao frowned. He had initially suspected that Baili Tang was lying to him about how cunning these people were, but now that he saw them, they were indeed very cunning.
He slammed his hand heavily on the table. "Shut up!"
"Having come to my Yun'ao Kingdom, do you think things will still go as you wish?"
"Today I will show you what the law is!"
"Guards, make these people kneel down before me!"
Xiao Rui'an took a deep breath. From the moment he arrived in Yun'ao Kingdom, he knew that it wouldn't be so easy to get out of here.
They just didn't expect to be targeted so quickly.
