He had always looked down upon such small countries, and was even more impatient with their provocations.
What's more, the ministers have been reporting frequently recently, which has made the little emperor in a bad mood. He seems to have eaten less. The fierce beast who has always been extremely protective of his people has suddenly elevated that small country to the level of a thorn in his side.
He wanted to take direct action to crush that arrogant little country that he didn't know what agreement it had reached with anyone.
He also knew about those who were thinking of doing bad things behind his back, but he just didn't say anything and watched them smugly thinking that they had hidden it well enough.
The only thing is that even if they move quickly, it will take two or three months to go into battle. The ferocious beast master, who had not seen his little emperor for a day, thought about it for a long time but still couldn't make up his mind to set off and lure out the person behind the scenes.
It was not until the spy sent by the small country had the audacity to sneak into the palace and seduce Chu Ci that the Grand Tutor was completely enraged.
Three days later, they offered sacrifices to their ancestors and set out on the expedition.
Although this war was within everyone's expectations, the preparations were still a bit hasty.
Before leaving, the Grand Tutor also told Chu Ci about this matter. This time he went on an expedition not only to directly extinguish the arrogance of that small country, but also to completely lure out the hidden masterminds in the court and expose what they did so that they could be punished.
In the past two years, they have made many moves. Although there were large-scale assassinations like the Huaijiang River flood before, Chu Ci and Xiao Mokuang had also fought with this force several times, both openly and secretly.
In fact, Xiao Mo Kuang already knew who it was, but he pretended not to know.
After the departure of the Grand Tutor, all the noble families in Kyoto that were originally frightened by the ferocious beast began to become restless.
Chu Ci still did his daily routine, listening to the news of the Grand Tutor's victory after victory, and watching the old ministers who were originally the prince's party during the previous emperor's period report on the Grand Tutor's previous deeds one by one.
Obviously, the rumors had led everyone to believe that she was just as the rumors said, the little emperor who was being manipulated by the Grand Tutor and was looking for an opportunity to rebel.
The olive branches thrown out couldn't be more obvious, and they almost said directly that as long as Your Majesty reused us, we would definitely take back all the power in the court and bring the traitors who committed treason to justice.
Chu Ci remained silent about the actions of these old ministers, watching them become more and more ostentatious during the morning court sessions every day.
It was not until nearly a month later that a group of soldiers of unknown origin surrounded the palace at daybreak.
It was quiet that morning. The people who were originally guarding the bedroom were all silent. The palace servant who came to help Chu Ci dress was someone she didn't know. Chu Ci just looked at him with a raised eyebrow and said nothing.
When Chu Ci put on her clothes and opened the door to go out, she saw a person right in front of the palace gate.
He was sitting in a wheelchair with a somewhat gloomy expression. His face seemed somewhat similar to Chu Ci's. He was wearing a bright yellow robe with gorgeous dragon patterns on it. He didn't seem surprised to see Chu Ci. He laughed softly, his voice a little hoarse, with a bit of viciousness in his eyes, staring at her like a poisonous snake.
"Long time no see, second sister."
This person is the deposed crown prince, now Prince Bo Chuzhe.
