Xiao Xiyou's voice was slightly seductive, which, combined with his extremely handsome face, made him even more captivating.
Zhou Zhizhi even felt like her heart was about to fly away.
Their ears also started to turn very red.
Xiao Xiyou never imagined that Zhou Zhizhi would be so cute.
He even regretted that he had only realized it now.
Let's go!
As for his uncle and aunt's family, all the sins they committed were deserved and had nothing to do with him.
Such behavior would not be an exaggeration even if it meant beheading, but exiling them to a harsh and cold place is a form of punishment for them.
Sometimes it's even more painful than death.
The palace is now in complete chaos.
The Empress knew that the Emperor was not feeling well, but in recent days he had not been allowed to visit her, so she felt that something must have happened.
And we are all very clear about this situation.
Things are definitely about to change in the palace, but what exactly will happen remains to be seen.
Xiao Nan walked a few steps forward in a hurry and arrived at the Empress's Palace.
"What's wrong?"
Why is the Empress, who is usually a very calm and collected mother, in such a hurry now?
When the Third Prince heard this, his face also turned gloomy.
"Mother, my elder brother is back!"
The Empress was holding a watering can, intending to water the flowers, but upon hearing this, she dropped it to the ground.
He looked completely incredulous, his eyes still wide open in disbelief.
"What?"
"So you actually came back like this?"
"What's going on with the Imperial Guard? Are they not even listening to the Emperor anymore?"
When the Empress finished speaking, her face was very gloomy.
He seemed somewhat guilty, after all, he had been rather aggressive in the past, and now that he was back, there was probably some danger involved.
Xiao Nan sighed helplessly.
"If I told you that he is now seriously ill and hiding in the palace, wouldn't Mother be even more afraid?"
Xiao Nan's gaze was very firm, as if he wasn't joking at all.
This silenced everyone in the Queen's palace.
They never imagined that the eldest prince would actually return.
After a long pause, the Empress managed an awkward smile.
His face was filled with disbelief.
Are you tired?
"If there's nothing else, don't talk nonsense, understand? If you're tired, go and get some rest!"
When the empress said this, she stared intently at her son.
I just wanted to be able to see clearly from his eyes whether it was a lie or the truth.
Xiao Nan sighed helplessly.
"Let them all go in!"
After Xiao Nan shouted, many guards appeared from the gate behind him.
The Empress recognized all these guards; they were sent by her to protect her son, and each guard was highly trained.
"Mother, I never lie to you. It's just that the current situation is rather special, and I'm afraid I have to protect your safety properly."
Xiao Nan Gua was actually very serious about her mother's safety; she didn't want to lose her loved ones.
For people like them, the emperor might belong to everyone, but the empress dowager belongs to them alone.
When the Empress heard this, she took two steps back in disbelief. Now that things had come to this, there was nothing she could do even if she didn't want to believe it.
"Son, what about you?"
"You should leave the palace; it's quite dangerous inside!"
The Empress was most worried about her son, and she devoted all her energy to him.
If something were to happen, he would probably never be able to get over it for the rest of his life.
Xiao Nan shook his head when he heard this.
"Mother, you know that your son will not allow any accidents to happen to you."
"These people will all protect your safety, and most importantly, my elder brother is currently in the palace and may come to cause trouble for us at any time."
"But this is the most crucial moment. What if Father were to perish..."
When the Third Prince finished speaking, a smile slowly appeared on his lips, the meaning of which was all too clear.
If the emperor dies, then the throne will belong to him.
He was unwilling to give up such an opportunity, and the Empress herself was well aware of this as well; she was also reluctant to let it go.
"Qiuyue, take my jade pendant and quickly leave the palace to find my father and have him send some more soldiers back."
The Empress's father was a general, so even now, if it comes to mobilizing troops, she actually has that kind of ability.
Qiuyue was a little flustered, but because she had face blindness, she took the jade pendant and quickly ran outside.
The Third Prince hesitated for a moment when he heard this, but ultimately said nothing.
Zhou Zhizhi had originally planned to discuss this matter further, but the system suddenly reminded him.
[The host, the Third Prince, is preparing a palace; the First Prince is preparing to slay a dragon.]
[Host, please proceed to Engineer Huang's location immediately and prepare.]
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhizhi immediately stood up.
He looked on in disbelief. How could these two be so fast?
Xiao Xiyou was also startled and quickly stood up, grabbing Xiong's hand with concern.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
Zhou Zhizhi felt that she had been hiding some things from the Second Prince, and now she no longer needed to hide them.
"Your Highness, there are some things I haven't explained to you clearly, but they are very urgent right now. I can resolve them for you after this matter is settled, but until then, everything I say is serious. Please believe me."
Seeing his beloved so anxious, the Second Prince's eyes softened instantly.
"Alright, alright, whatever you say, I'll do it."
Zhou Zhizhi felt that this person hadn't figured out what the situation was like.
"No, the eldest prince has already begun planning to kill the emperor, and the third prince has brought a large number of soldiers into the palace to prepare to usurp the throne."
"Let's attack quickly!"
When Xiao Xiyou heard this, he hesitated for a moment. Although he was somewhat skeptical, he looked at the person in front of him and knew that he always spoke very seriously and that it was not a lie.
"Alright, you wait here now. I'll gather the people right away, and we'll go into the palace in a bit!"
In fact, the fighting had already broken out outside, and even the addiction had been broken through.
