"Your son pays homage to His Majesty the Father!"
"Grandson pays homage to the Emperor's grandfather!!"
The six of them, mother and daughter, knelt outside the temple but received no response for a long time.
The more sensible ones naturally waited patiently without being servile or overbearing, while the ignorant ones... after kneeling, they stood up on their own and rushed in directly, "Grandpa Emperor, let me do it!"
"Grandpa, do you miss Yue'er?"
Shangguan Qingyue didn’t care whether anyone called her in or not. She only knew that whoever she went to see would be happy to welcome her!
Sure enough, no one stopped her, no one dared or bothered to do so.
The little fellow followed the door and stepped over the enemy of his life - the high threshold of the palace gate, and then ran into the palace, "Grandfather Emperor, I'm here!"
The people in the hall heard the little fellow's voice from a distance. Emperor Jianxi opened his eyes and half-raised himself, "Yue'er..."
After the little guy entered the hall, his eyes lit up, "Is the Imperial Grandmother here too?"
"Yue'er..."
The little guy first showed affection to the queen, and then ran towards Emperor Jianxi under the creepy gaze of Concubine Gang.
Seeing the unpleasant expression on Emperor Jianxi's face, the little fellow suddenly stopped laughing. "Grandfather Emperor, what's wrong with you?"
Emperor Jianxi's eyes were gentle as he whispered, "Grandpa is fine..."
The little guy didn't believe it at all and said solemnly, "Grandpa is lying. Mother said that Grandpa wants to wash the spicy food!"
Everyone: ...
Concubine Gang shouted, "How dare you..."
Emperor Jianxi glanced over, and Concubine Gang's momentum weakened. "Princess Chengqian cursed the emperor, I just..."
Emperor Jianxi ignored her and focused on entertaining the child. He took the little fellow's hand and kneaded it in his palm, as lovingly as before, "So Yue'er came to ask the emperor's grandfather to take care of him?"
Shangguan Qingyue shook his head.
Emperor Jianxi was puzzled. The little fellow suddenly said mysteriously, "I heard that the emperor's grandfather asked that thief Zhao to extend his life. Why didn't the emperor's grandfather ask Yue'er? Yue'er can do it too. Does he look down on Yue'er?"
When it comes to the latter part, the little guy almost questions it.
Emperor Jianxi was amused, and while laughing he started coughing again.
Wu Yonggui stepped forward and stroked Emperor Jianxi, but the little guy's eyes lit up.
[Great, great! Finally, I have a place to use my skills! ]
【Watch me! 】
The little fellow patted his chest and said, "Grandfather, please beg me, and I will live a long and peaceful life!"
Emperor Jianxi didn't take it seriously at all, but he couldn't bear to hurt the child's self-esteem, so he deliberately interrupted him and asked other questions off-topic.
Outside the palace, Zhao Ying was stopped by the imperial guards, but Zhao Xi stood at the palace door, looking down at the people below, as if he had everything planned out for himself.
Hengbi stepped forward, bowed to Zhao Ying, and whispered, "Princess, please wait patiently for His Majesty's summons!"
Zhao Ying sneered, "I'm afraid even if the emperor really summons me, I won't be able to know."
Hengbi smiled softly and didn't deny it. "Princess, if you already know, why humiliate yourself? The situation is already decided. Not to mention that the emperor has no intention of making the princess the emperor, even if he did, do you think the imperial edict can be passed on at this moment?"
Zhao Ying remained silent. He glanced from Hengbi to Zhao Xi, who was not far away, and smiled softly, "It seems that Prince Ding has made all the necessary preparations."
Hengbi just smiled and said nothing, but there was a hint of pride and provocation between his eyebrows.
Suddenly, Zhao Ying took a step back and retreated among the court officials.
Hengbi thought Zhao Ying had given in and was about to say a few words when Zhao Ying said, "You are Prince Ding's most capable and trusted counselor. I wonder if Prince Ding has ever told you about my character?"
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Zhao Ying smiled nonchalantly, scanning the crowd. Finally, he spoke loudly to Prince Ding, "Zhao Xi, since you don't want me in, then show me your true abilities and convince me. How about this, how about showing me your biggest bargaining chip?"
Zhao Xi frowned slightly, staring at Zhao Ying with his dark eyes for a long moment, then he lowered his eyes to avoid Zhao Ying's gaze and said, "Ying'er, if you want to see father, after the imperial edict is read, I will..."
"It's too late then!" Zhao Ying said bluntly.
Imperial Tutor Yang and Prime Minister Yin finally lost their patience. Imperial Tutor Yang said coldly, "Your Majesty is ill. Why bother disturbing His Majesty's peace, Princess?"
Prime Minister Yin said earnestly, "Your Highness, please wait. The prince is a man of noble character and will keep his promise. He will definitely let the princess meet the emperor."
"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't, I'm going to do it!"
Hengbi was stunned, wondering why Zhao Ying was so arrogant. The entire Forbidden City was under their control. If the prince had not let her in personally, she would not even be able to come in.
Seeing this, Zhao Xi's pupils shrank suddenly, and a trace of doubt flashed through his mind.
Zhao Ying was right. Hengbi didn't understand her, but he did.
She always makes people feel that she is powerless to fight back, but suddenly she hits people hard. This kind of person is the most terrifying, because you don't know when you fall into her trap. You think she is innocent, but in fact she is the most thoughtful.
This is his sister, the sister he loves and hates...
A light suddenly flashed in Zhao Xi's mind, Liang Su!
Since they entered the capital secretly, why were Liang Su's whereabouts discovered by them? It was because of his appearance that he increased the number of the imperial guards from one-third to two-thirds.
Could it be... this is also a trap?
They put all their energy into the millions of lions in the Southern Territory. Did they miss something? For example...
Soon, Zhao Xi got the answer.
Hengbi sneered, "Your Highness, why are you exaggerating? The prince has already fulfilled his brotherly duties. If the princess continues to act unreasonably, don't blame the prince for being ruthless!"
"Your Majesty, how ruthless you are going to be. I want to hear it!"
A deep and firm voice sounded like thunder, echoing in everyone's ears.
That voice... everyone looked back in disbelief, their jaws almost dropping.
Wei Fu!
It’s Wei Fu!
Wei Fu should have been exiled to Ningguta!
Why is he here?
As Wei Fu got closer, the face became clearer and clearer.
Hengbi murmured in disbelief, "Impossible..."
Wei Fu will definitely not be able to come back within three days!
Zhao Xi understood everything in an instant. He suddenly smiled, not knowing whether he was sad or happy, but full of fatigue.
Wei Fu definitely won't be able to return within three days. I'm afraid... he hasn't even left the capital...
It was silent all around.
Taifu Yang recovered, stood up, and pointed at Wei Fu, "Come here, drag Wei Fu away!"
"Princess Chengqian, do you admit your guilt?"
Hengbi also recovered from his shock and said, "Where is General Long? Someone come! Someone come!"
However, as he roared, the surroundings became even quieter.
Only Zhao Ying's cold and powerful voice remained, "Come here? Ha, without my order, look at the 1.5 million soldiers of the Great Chu, do you dare to lift a finger?!"
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
Then I saw Wei Fu in black armor, his eyebrows and eyes were like torches, and he was as sharp as a knife.
He walked forward and knelt down in front of Zhao Ying.
"This humble general pays homage to Princess Chengqian!"
Please note, you are only here to see Princess Chengqian!
Only recognize Princess Chengqian!
