Immortality...
The emperor's gaze suddenly sank, and the light in his eyes became deep and complex.
He had never mentioned this to anyone. Even when he picked the undead flower, he did it in the name of the queen, and announced to the public that the queen was in poor health. How could Zong Zhengli know...
Zong Zhengli leaned over to his ear and whispered something else.
Not far away.
Qin Ye was standing quite far away and couldn't hear a single word of their conversation.
Looking at the obscure and evil smile on Prince Li's face, she had a bad feeling for some reason...
moment.
Zong Zhengli stood up, looked at the emperor with a smile, took two steps back leisurely, and took the initiative to say:
"Take me to the clan house."
Two guards came forward and took him away.
Before leaving, he looked at Qin Ye deeply.
The emperor pursed his lips and stood where he was. His facial expression could not tell whether he was happy or angry, and his ambiguous gaze made it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"Father?"
Qin Ye called out tentatively.
The emperor came back to his senses:
"Oh, Old Seven's wife... things here are over, let's go back."
Without saying much, he got on the carriage and left.
In the carriage, he thought of what Zong Zhengli said, and his cloudy eyes darkened a little...
Qin Ye looked at the back of the carriage leaving and asked:
"I don't know what Prince Li said to the Emperor. The Emperor seems distracted."
"He was begging for mercy." Zong Zhengchen said, "What he said made the emperor hesitate. However, he stole the defense map and betrayed Dongling Kingdom. This is unforgivable. The emperor will not let him go, nor will the Gu family."
If it is just a minor quarrel between brothers, the emperor can turn a blind eye.
But betraying the country involves the entire country and its people, which can result in rivers of blood at the very least and shake the foundations of the country at the worst.
Which is more important?
What to do.
The emperor knows what is going on.
"But will Prince Li stay in the clan residence obediently?"
When Prince Li left, the look he gave her was filled with hatred, cruelty, and disappointment...
It's very complicated.
She is worried.
Zong Zhengchen held her hand tightly and said in a deep voice: "Don't think too much. If I can control him once, I can control him a second time. My people will always keep an eye on the clan house and his every move."
The most urgent thing is to have children.
He held her in his arms, got on the carriage, and went back to the capital.
Chen Palace.
The carriage stopped, the old butler heard the news, and everyone ran out to greet them.
Qin Ye's heels had just landed on the ground when Concubine Tong ran in the first place anxiously:
"Xiao Ye, why didn't you tell mother before you left the house? I thought you were going somewhere. Do you know how worried I was? Even if you missed Chen'er, you shouldn't hide and cry alone!"
She thought Qin Ye missed her husband but was too embarrassed to say it, so she found a place where no one was around and wiped her tears secretly.
The old housekeeper also advised:
"Princess, please relax. The prince will be back soon. Don't be too sad, or he will be distressed."
Ling Qianyi also said:
"Yes, aunt, if you are really sad, just tell us. We are not outsiders and will not laugh at you."
"If you keep it in your heart, you will only suffer."
Yue'er said distressedly:
"Princess, I know you miss the prince, but your health is equally important. Please don't worry too much and drag yourself down."
Yunying said:
"Look at your face, it's all pale. The prince would be distressed if he knew."
Everyone thought that something was wrong because Qin Ye missed King Chen too much.
They tried to persuade, communicate, and comfort sincerely, and then they saw a large hand with distinct joints lift up the curtain on the carriage, and the body spun around and landed steadily on the ground.
Suddenly, everyone was dumbfounded:
"Your Majesty?"
"Chen'er?"
"Your Majesty?!"
