I hope there won’t be a real snowstorm.
It took King Kang almost an hour to reach the palace with great difficulty.
Eunuch Fuquan was quite puzzled when he saw Prince Kang coming to ask for an audience with the emperor.
It was so cold, what kind of important matter could make King Kang brave the wind and snow to enter the palace?
The old emperor was in the imperial study, and Prince Kang went straight over when he found out.
"Your son pays homage to His Majesty the Father."
The old emperor looked at King Kang, who was soaked all over and had unmelted snow on his hair, and quickly stood up.
"Xiao San'er, why did you come here so suddenly? You're all wet, don't catch a cold.
Fuquan! Bring King Kang to change his clothes and warm himself by the fire!"
The old emperor called Eunuch Fuquan in loudly.
"Yes! Your Majesty, please follow me."
Prince Kang pursed his lips and bowed to the emperor in thanks, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will be right there."
When King Kang said it was very fast, he really meant it. He cleaned himself up and came over in a short while.
"Xiao San'er, you came to the palace in such a heavy snowstorm, is there something important you want to tell me?
Or are you here to inquire about the results of the interrogation?
It's only been a day, and neither the assassin nor Mei Cui has confessed yet."
The old emperor spoke before King Kang could speak.
Prince Kang bowed and reported loudly, "Father, I am not here for this matter. I have other important matters to attend to!
Father, my wife had a dream that there will be a snowstorm in the capital!
The snow disaster will cause most of the people in the capital to die of hunger and cold, and even lead to people eating their own children!
I, your son, request that the emperor issue an order early to instruct everyone to fight the snowstorm! This will reduce the damage caused to the people by the snowstorm!
Prince Kang's voice was so loud that Eunuch Fuquan and the guards guarding the door heard it clearly.
"My daughter-in-law had a dream, and in the dream she said there would be a snowstorm in the capital? So you came to the palace in the snow and wind just to tell me about this?"
The old emperor looked at Prince Kang with disappointment. "Xiao San'er, listen to what you're saying. It's just a dream. Is it worth getting so nervous?"
Prince Kang suppressed the emotion in his eyes and said, "Father, it's better to believe it than not! What if a snowstorm really happens?!"
“It’s not going to happen.”
The old emperor said firmly, "If I say it won't happen, then it won't happen! Fufeng Kingdom hasn't experienced a snowstorm in nearly a hundred years. How could it happen this year?"
"Father, I certainly hope there won't be a snowstorm, but the wind and snow have been extremely strong these past two days. If things continue like this..."
“That’s enough!”
The old emperor interrupted Prince Kang's unfinished words with a harsh voice, "Prince Kang, if you continue to say this, I have reason to suspect that you are deliberately cursing my country!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Kang suddenly looked up at the old emperor in disbelief, "Father, how could I possibly curse my own country? I was worried, so I braved the snow and came to the palace to report this to you!"
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst, Father!"
The old emperor waved his hand and said, "Go away! If I say there won't be a snowstorm, then it won't happen! I am the true dragon emperor! I won't make mistakes when I say anything!"
Prince Kang gritted his teeth and said, "Father, I am a coward and I value my life. I want to deal with the damage caused by the snowstorm on my own. Please allow me."
"Sure, whatever you want."
The old emperor agreed disapprovingly.
Prince Kang lowered his brows and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help. I will take my leave."
Prince Kang walked out of the imperial study, and Eunuch Fuquan looked at him hesitantly, wanting to say something.
"Father-in-law, do you want to say something? You can say it."
King Kang whispered.
Eunuch Fuquan glanced at the imperial study, then approached Prince Kang and asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, what you said about the snowstorm coming soon...is that true?"
"Father-in-law, I can't say it's definitely true. I can only say, please be on guard as much as possible.
If possible, I also hope that the snowstorm will not happen."
After saying this, King Kang sighed and walked into the heavy snow.
Eunuch Fuquan frowned, thought about it and decided to get some more charcoal and clothes to keep warm.
Whether a snowstorm occurs or not, it's always better to be prepared.
The other guards thought the same thing.
When Prince Kang returned to his palace, he only took one look at Ye Peizhu, and Ye Peizhu understood the result of her husband's trip to the palace.
"Your Majesty, is the Emperor's attitude very firm?"
Ye Peizhu stepped forward and took the outer robe that King Kang had taken off, and asked in a low voice.
"He was quite resolute and didn't believe me at all. He even said that if I kept mentioning the snow disaster, I'd be suspected of cursing Fufeng Nation."
Prince Kang sneered and lowered his voice, "I had just entered the palace, and when the emperor saw that I was soaking wet, he immediately asked Fuquan to take me over to change clothes. I was a little touched, thinking that the emperor still cared about me.
Unexpectedly, when this matter was mentioned, my father's attitude changed. He emphasized that this is his country, he is the true dragon emperor, and I should not casually say such words to curse Fufeng country.
Ye Peizhu frowned upon hearing this. "Your Majesty's words are truly harsh. Doesn't the Fufeng Kingdom belong to the Song family? How did it become his?"
Regardless of whether the snowstorm is real or not, it's better to believe it than not. It's always good to take precautions in advance. Why doesn't the emperor think so? "
"Yeah, I don't know why Father doesn't think so.
When I reported to my father, I raised my voice deliberately, and Eunuch Fuquan and several guards at the door heard it.
If a snowstorm really happens later, they will definitely spread what happened today.
No matter what, I will never let your nightmare come true!"
King Kang spoke in a firm tone.
"Father, Mother, is there anything your son can do to help you?"
Song Le'an's voice came from the side.
When the couple turned their heads, they saw their fifth son with clear eyes and their fourth son with a calm expression looking at them.
"Did you two hear what we just said?"
King Kang remembered that he didn't see these two guys when he came in just now.
Where did these two brats come from?
"No, we only saw you, father and mother, whispering in each other's ears."
Song Le'an answered honestly.
Prince Kang covered his lips and coughed, "When there is something you can help with, your father will tell you. You can go back first."
Song Le'an curled his lips and said, "Father started to chase people away when he came back, but we still wanted to see our sister."
Song Zixuan glanced speechlessly at his clueless brother, "Xiaowu, my parents must be discussing some serious matters. Let's go back first."
Song Le'an reacted at this moment, "Oh, so that's how it is."
King Kang shook his head in annoyance. "The snow outside is very deep. Have the guards carry you back. Otherwise, given your size, you might be buried in the snow."
Song Lean: “….”
Song Zixuan: “….”
