Chapter 36: Court Turbulence! Xiao Chen's Confidence!



In a luxurious courtyard in the imperial capital

Pavilions, towers, bridges and flowing water,

Golden fish swim in the stream under the covered bridge.

It is hard to imagine that such an environment exists in early spring when the ice has just melted.

On the covered bridge,

There was a woman sitting there with a frown on her face, lost in thought.

The woman was about twenty years old, with a beautiful appearance. She was wearing a purple gauze dress, with her long black hair tied up high, and her graceful figure was faintly visible under the gauze.

Her fair hands hung naturally, and the golden fish in the stream were fighting for food with each other, and she didn't even know when the food in her hands was gone.

In her ear, a purple butterfly was saying the message brought by 'Mr. Zhao'.

Her expression gradually changed from calm to surprised:

“How is that possible?!!”

"The Imperial City Bureau actually found the base in Yuhua Alley!!"

"The Ninth Prince knows Gu magic and even broke the corpse Gu under the corpse wind!"

"Not only that, he also used some secret method to cut off the connection between Corpse Wind and his own Corpse Mother Gu."

A trace of horror flashed across the woman's eyes.

A possibility flashed through her mind.

Seven Deadly Gu!!

Moreover, it was the Seven Deadly Gu that had fully activated its 'vicious nature'.

Only in this case, is it possible to break the Gu King in Shi Feng's hands!

She was a little bit unconvinced. She didn't believe that the useless prince could actually control the poisonous insect in his body?

It’s still the Seven Deadly Gu!!

Among the seven tribes in southern Xinjiang, those who can make the Seven Deadly Gu recognize their master in such a short time are all geniuses among geniuses.

Not to mention, Xiao Chen also activated more than one ability of the Seven Deadly Gu.

Does he want to live?

The woman's eyes flickered, and she whispered a few words to the purple butterfly. The butterfly disappeared into the night again with brilliance.

"Ninth Prince, oh Ninth Prince, you really surprised me."

"I just don't know if your Great Zhou can handle this difficulty next."

The woman stared at the direction where the butterfly disappeared, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.

Behind her, a maid in red with a scarlet mark on her forehead appeared.

The maid put a white sable fur coat on her and said softly:

"My lady, it's windy at night. What are you doing standing under this covered bridge?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing is looking for you everywhere!"

The purple-clothed woman was awakened. She smiled slightly and shouted, "What?" with a strange look on her face.

"Isn't Your Highness asleep?"

"Why do you think of me at this time?"

The maid in red said with some excitement:

"Ma'am, you don't know."

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing was already asleep!"

"Who knew that the news from the palace would wake His Highness up!"

"It is said that the Ninth Prince secretly mobilized troops at night, causing His Majesty to be furious."

"Various impeachment memorials were sent into the palace like snowflakes."

"Your Highness is so happy that he can't sleep now!"

"I've been looking for you everywhere!"

The purple-clothed woman's eyes narrowed when she heard this, and a hint of doubt flashed through her mind.

The information that King Jing received now was completely different from the one she received from Shi Feng.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

As she spoke, the woman in purple smiled, then followed the woman back to the attic.

.......

Mao hour, Ninth Prince’s Mansion!

Last night, Xiao Chen was too tired, and because it was too late, he went back to his room and fell asleep as soon as he returned home.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen was hurriedly awakened by Liu'er early this morning.

Go to court!

At daybreak, a eunuch from the Imperial Household Department delivered a message from the palace.

He said that he had been informed by His Majesty's oral order to attend the morning court.

You should know that in the Zhou Dynasty, there were two types of princes.

One type is the princes with titles such as Crown Prince Xiang, King Jing, and King Yu. Most of these princes have already reached adulthood and, like other officials, hold positions in the six ministries and the army.

Most people need to attend court on time.

The other category is princes like Xiao Chen who have not been crowned as kings. Most princes like Xiao Chen are princes who have not reached adulthood and established their own courts.

They did not need to work in government offices or attend court.

The only way to attend the morning court is for Xiao Chen to face this situation.

“Who invented the morning court?”

"It's too early!"

Xiao Chen came out of the bedroom with sleepy eyes and looked out the window. It was pitch black outside.

He was complaining while enjoying the maid's dressing service.

He washed carefully and changed into a bright yellow dragon robe. After a while, a handsome prince appeared in the mirror.

"Your Highness is so handsome!"

Xiao Chen's lips curled up, and when he was looking in the mirror, Liu'er's voice sounded in his ears.

“That’s it!”

Xiao Chen smiled and casually absorbed the few strands of lust coming from Liu'er and these maids.

He was very happy in his heart.

It has to be said that his appearance completely inherited the advantages of Emperor Jing of Ming Dynasty and his mother, Concubine Yao, with delicate features and clear edges and corners.

He is considered a very handsome guy in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

With Liu'er's help, Xiao Chen ate his breakfast casually.

Go out and get on the carriage that has been prepared long ago,

What he didn't expect was that

Just entered the Suzaku Gate,

He just turned an alley and saw Ye Andu, dressed in official robes, already waiting for him at the intersection.

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Chen was stunned and urged the driver to go forward.

Ye Andu was only a sixth-rank general, and he was also a general who had returned to Beijing to report on his work, so he could choose to attend the morning court or not.

"Grandpa asked me to come."

Ye Andu got into the carriage and explained to Xiao Chen with a smile:

"Grandpa said this is your first official morning court appearance."
