Emperor Chongle didn't say a word. He simply raised his hand, and two shadow guards appeared, grabbed the Celestial Master, and took him away.
Oh right, and these traitors too, take them all away.
Emperor Chongle wanted to say something harsh to the cub that was just eating random things, but when he met the cub's innocent eyes, he backed down.
"Didn't I tell you not to eat random things? You're not as tough as the other dragons... The other dragons aren't as resilient. They'd be miserable if they had a headache or fever and would run to me and whine. Now that you're not sick, you don't know how to be careful."
Well, it's true that even this incredibly powerful dragon raised in the palace, who can devour a child in one bite, has its moments of weakness and sometimes whine and whine to its human father for affection.
To others, the cub may be the trump card of the Great Yu, a mighty and fierce guardian beast of the nation, but in His Majesty's eyes, the cub will always be that small and fragile little dragon cub.
It cannot be bumped or touched in the slightest.
The cub's tail and ears drooped down after being scolded by its father. It listlessly transformed back into its human form, walked to Emperor Chong Le's side, and plopped down in his arms. Like a kitten, it rolled over, exposing its belly, tilted its head back, and looked at Emperor Chong Le with pleading eyes.
When children get a headache from being nagged, they use this method to escape their father's scolding.
The method worked perfectly; Emperor Chongle always fell for it. His cool, deep voice gradually faded as he patted the cub's head:
"You're not allowed to eat random things anymore, especially these weird and wonderful things, do you hear me?"
The cub nodded obediently.
"Alright, you'll stay with me at the banquet later."
The banquet had been going on for quite some time, and the alien races hadn't seen their sorcerers return. Their expressions grew increasingly grim until Emperor Chongle finally arrived. They immediately stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, our people have gone missing in the palace and haven't returned yet."
Emperor Chongle waved his hand: "Don't worry, we people of Dayu are all kind, warm-hearted, and peace-loving. Even if you see your companions, nothing will happen."
"The banquet has already begun. If you are absent, how will you be able to see the wonderful performance?"
The men exchanged embarrassed glances, but still sat down.
Only Zejin, the second prince of the Western Regions, remained silent.
He silently raised his eyes and saw the boy following Emperor Chongle.
The cub was dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, with jade rabbit decorations in its hair, and looked just like a soft and glutinous snowball.
Moreover, he was so obedient, slowly walking while holding onto one of Emperor Chongle's fingers. When Emperor Chongle sat down, he obediently sat on the small stool next to him.
When the little guy glanced around and his eyes met Zejin's, Zejin immediately lowered his gaze.
So he's the emperor's son...
I don't know if I'll ever see him again.
Ever since the cub saw Zejin's heterochromatic eyes, it has been somewhat lost in thought.
He really liked this human he was meeting for the first time, and he thought the heterochromatic eyes were very beautiful and incredibly attractive. He wanted to see what the eyes looked like in different lighting conditions, and even thought they were like naturally formed gemstones, worth collecting.
The cub could sense that the person was watching him, but as soon as the cub looked away, the person would immediately lower their head.
cub: ...
Gradually puffed up with anger.
Is this guy playing hide-and-seek with himself?!
But no matter how fast the kid's reaction was, it couldn't outrun the boy's. Every time he tried to catch someone staring at him as evidence, he never succeeded.
The cubs are starting to take it seriously.
Emperor Chongle had been keeping a close eye on the cub's movements. Seeing that the cub, who usually ate with great relish, hadn't touched his chopsticks, he immediately lowered his head and asked:
"What's wrong?"
The cub puffed out its cheeks and silently tilted its head. Before it could even tilt its head twice, its father poked at its grievances, making it want to cry.
When Emperor Chongle saw the tears in the cub's eyes, a vein throbbed on his forehead. He seemed unwilling to waste any more time pretending and ordered the foreigners to be detained on the grounds that they had attempted to harm the Great Yu and the prince.
"You need to provide evidence!!!"
Even as death loomed, these people remained defiant. Emperor Chongle waved his hand, and the sorcerer, the shattered Gu worms, and the confession—all the evidence was laid bare, leaving them no room for explanation.
Not to mention Zekin, who was brought here, all the foreign envoys were detained and none were released.
When the Western Regions learned of this, tensions between them and the Great Yu Kingdom escalated to the point where war could break out at any moment.
The fact that the Western Regions dare to fight against the Great Yu suggests they may be preparing some underhanded tactics.
However, there are also some people who dare to support war. They have tolerated these troublesome foreign tribes for a long time. If the tiger doesn't roar, do you think they are a sick cat?
However, some timid people couldn't help but suggest: "If Your Majesty had a princess, that would be great. Historically, this matter has always been resolved through marriage alliances to maintain peace between the two countries. As long as we exchange benefits, we can coexist with the Western Regions for a long time."
After saying that, she couldn't help but glance at the cub a couple more times.
Emperor Chongle sneered:
"What? My dear minister, are you truly delirious with illness? Do you still consider my children to be things that can be given away? How many times have I said that I regard my dragon cubs as my own children, and regardless of whether my offspring are male or female, they are simply my most beloved children. If you so advocate the way of marriage alliances, why don't you send your own daughters away for marriage alliances?"
The minister opened his mouth, then said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I have no daughters..."
"Oh, so you mean if you had a daughter, you would definitely agree to reluctantly part with her to protect the peace between the Great Yu and the Western Regions?"
"Since that's the case, then let your wife prepare to go to the frontier in her husband's place."
