The fourth prince, Sang Bai, Marquis Xiang Ming, and Gu Shuo rode in the front, followed by two carriages, and the black-clad guards and the imperial guards walked at the rear.
A group of people came slowly.
Emperor Beili was filled with rage. It took him only a cup of tea to walk such a short distance from the time he saw the carriage to the time he arrived at the city wall. It was definitely intentional.
"Your son pays homage to His Majesty the Father."
When they arrived at the city gate, Sangbai was the first to dismount and salute.
"No need to be polite."
Emperor Beili waved his hand majestically.
Xiang Minghou, who was riding a tall horse, did not dismount. He simply bowed upwards and called out, "Northern Emperor."
A call of "Beidi" clearly widened the distance between them.
Emperor Beili tightened his fingers in his sleeves and smiled, "Marquis Xiangming, it's been many years since we last met. How come you feel so unfamiliar now?"
"The emperor's dignity is feared by everyone in the world."
"Haha." Emperor Beili laughed and looked behind him.
The curtain of the carriage at the back was lifted, and Old Chen stepped out. He was dressed in gray, his hair was white, and he walked forward step by step, bowing and saying, "Northern Emperor."
When Emperor Beili saw Old Chen, he felt something strange in his heart and his eyes reflected it. He didn't know what he was thinking about, so he turned around and hurried down the city wall.
Civil and military officials did not follow closely behind.
Under the protection of a group of guards, Emperor Beili walked out of the city gate, walked quickly to Chen Lao, and held him with both hands: "Teacher."
"I don't deserve it." Old Chen said with a slightly vicissitudes of life look.
"Teacher, I was wrong back then. I feel ashamed of your teaching." Emperor Beili's voice was filled with regret and guilt.
It has never been heard of since ancient times that an emperor of a country publicly admitted his mistakes in front of all officials and people.
"Since Your Majesty still regards me as his teacher, I will inevitably teach you in the future. Your Majesty, please don't think I'm nagging." Old Chen smiled kindly.
"Okay, teacher, you've had a long and bumpy journey. You'll take a rest after entering the city." Emperor Bei Li turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.
"No rush."
Elder Chen looked at the corpse hanging at the city gate and said, "Your Majesty, has the Emperor thoroughly investigated the assassination at Sifang Mountain?"
The Emperor of Beili had lost face a lot in the past two days. He had wanted to admit his mistake since he had arrived at the city gate and quickly welcome these people to the capital, but he didn't expect Old Chen to bring up this matter.
His eyes darkened slightly as he nodded, "We have investigated this matter, and I have severely punished the murderer."
"He was able to cover the sky with one hand in Kyoto, close the city gates and mobilize troops, disobey the imperial edict and do such a big thing, and blatantly send people to assassinate. What kind of crimes are all added up? How did the emperor deal with the culprit?" asked Old Chen.
Emperor Beili's face darkened, and he tried to force a smile but couldn't.
The expressions of the officials in the rear also changed.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just take the matter of disobeying the imperial edict as an example. It is a serious crime punishable by execution of nine generations of the clan for any official, but she is a princess of a country... Can nine generations of the clan be executed?
"Your Majesty, how should we deal with this?"
Mr. Chen raised his voice.
Sang Bai stood still, feeling a little anxious. At Sifang Mountain, he roughly guessed what the attitudes of Xiang Minghou and Old Chen were. He showed mercy to everyone, and it would be difficult to deal with his father this time.
Emperor Beili did not expect that they would be so aggressive in front of the city gate, and he did not know how to respond for a moment.
"Mr. Chen."
A low voice came, and Sang Zhi's noble figure came into everyone's sight.
When Emperor Beili heard the sound, his brows furrowed and he looked back with a strong warning in his eyes.
"Mr. Chen, the emperor will never let go of those who disobey the imperial decree. Regarding the assassination, the emperor wanted to give you an explanation in front of everyone." Sang Zhi finished speaking.
There were several screams coming from the city gate, and everyone turned around to look.
A man and a woman were escorted out by several guards.
The man and woman who were being held were covered in blood and flesh, with only their cheeks clean.
Everyone recognized at a glance that the woman was the Fifth Princess and the man was Xu Hongwen.
When Emperor Beili saw this scene, he became furious and glared at Sang Zhi fiercely.
The latter smiled, his voice low and pleasant: "The fifth sister disobeyed the emperor's order and was also the mastermind behind the assassination. Father sent people to escort the two here to punish them in public and to give everyone an explanation."
Sang Shu and Xu Hongwen were escorted to the front, until Sang Shu screamed: "Father, Father, save me..."
"Rebellious son, shut her mouth." How could Emperor Beili allow her to speak?
Even if he wanted to forgive her, now that she was pushed out, he knew in his heart that Sang Shu had become a complete abandoned pawn.
Sang Shu shook her head and made some mumbling sounds. Just as Xu Hongwen was about to open his mouth to speak, he was immediately blocked by someone else.
"Mr. Chen, even if she is a princess of a country, I will never tolerate her." Emperor Beili said righteously.
Sang Qi stood beside him, his handsome face tense, and he never said a word.
"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Only when the emperor understands this can he say that he has lived up to my teachings." Old Chen was very pleased as a teacher.
Bei Lidi gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger: "Teacher is right."
"Mr. Chen, I heard that your beloved disciple also returned to Beili this time. Why can't I see him?" Prime Minister Gao stood up.
Emperor Beili suddenly remembered this: "Yes, I forgot about it. I heard that he was found back then. I wonder where he is."
Many people had heard many rumors about the Xiang family's daughter who came back from the dead, and most of them wanted to meet her now, so they stretched their necks to look around the convoy.
Even Sang Shu, whose mouth was blocked, looked grimly at a carriage in the convoy that had not moved.
When Xiang Minghou mentioned Ye Qianning to Emperor Beili, the cold and murderous look in his eyes could not be hidden.
Gu Shuo stood by and watched coldly.
Qian Fanji was riding on the left side of Ye Qianning's car, and his indifferent and cold gaze made people tremble uncontrollably.
Emperor Beili bumped into Qianfanji, but the other party did not dismount to salute him, and he did not mention it either. His eyes were on the carriage next to him.
"My little disciple was seriously injured that year and has never recovered. He can't stand the outside world." Old Chen felt a little distant from Emperor Beili.
"So that's how it is. There are top-quality medicinal herbs in the palace. I'll have someone deliver them to you when we get back to the palace." Emperor Beili stared at the carriage with his sharp eyes.
In his heart, he still didn't believe that the people who had died at that time could come back intact.
"The emperor has personally come out of the city to welcome Miss Xiang. No matter how delicate Miss Xiang is, she can't just hide her face." Prime Minister Gao spoke again.
"Prime Minister Gao is right."
A lazy and somewhat cold voice came from inside the car.
Prime Minister Gao was stunned.
Emperor Beili's eyes also paused.
Sang Qi's heart was a little slow, the voice was surprisingly pleasant.
Prince Helian, Prince Changyang, and all the civil and military officials paused, their eyes fixed on the direction of the carriage. No one cared about etiquette, but they were more curious about Ye Qianning.
Sang Bai had been in Sifang Town for two days and had never seen Ye Qianning. After many attempts to test her, he was told that she was frail and afraid of the wind.
This was the first time he heard her voice.
While everyone was distracted, a pair of white hands lifted the car curtain.
The light pink figure came into everyone's sight. Ye Qianning stood up, and a fair and beautiful face without any concealment was exposed to everyone's sight.
Without any modification, the true appearance is revealed.
In an instant, Yang Guo's light shone on her face, as if a layer of light was cast on it.
When she revealed her stunning face, everyone's brilliance dimmed.
Stunningly beautiful, pure and untainted.
It seemed that the colors of all things could not compare to her beauty.
this……
Everyone was stunned and lost in thought when they saw that stunning face...
The light was so dazzling that no one knew whether it was real or an illusion. The astonishment lingered in everyone's eyes.
"Your Majesty."
The cold voice sounded again.
Emperor Beili's heart trembled, and he moved his lips but couldn't utter a word. The astonishment in his eyes could not be concealed.
The breeze blew by, blowing her hair, making it look like a picture or a dream.
Everyone stared at this scene in a daze, their hearts slowing down for a few beats.
The capital city was not short of beauties, but with such an exquisite appearance before her, those so-called beauties were nothing more than mere human beings in front of her, not even remotely beautiful...
Sang Zhi's scarlet eyes grew increasingly cold, and before anyone could react, he walked towards the car.
Ye Qianning glanced at everyone indifferently with an indifferent expression. He lowered his eyes to look at the white fingers stretched out, raised his hand to cover them, and stepped out of the car.
It wasn't until she got out of the car that anyone reacted vaguely.
Sang Bai rubbed his eyes subconsciously. It was very real. That face was so cold and beautiful that no one could match it.
I have heard of Ye Qianning's name since I was very young, but I have never seen him. The Ye Qianning I remember from others was just fat, nothing else.
Unexpectedly...
Sang Qi stared straight at that face. It was undeniable that his heart suddenly pounded just now. He was stunned but also felt unbelievable. Until he saw her slender fingers handed to Sang Zhi's hands, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Emperor Beili also came back to his senses and stared at the scene in surprise: "Is this... really Ye Qianning?"
How could the fat guy back then grow up to look like this?
After being stunned, Prime Minister Gao's face turned ugly, and he didn't believe at all that the person in front of him was Ye Qianning.
Ye Qianning got out of the car, let go of Sang Zhi's hand, and walked step by step to Chen Lao: "Master."
Elder Chen smiled faintly and nodded: "Your Majesty, this is my little disciple."
Emperor Beili has seen many beauties from all over the world, but it seems that no one can compare to the person in front of him. His eyes are fixed on her, and he does not hide the amazement in his eyes at all.
"Beidi."
Xiang Minghou jumped off his horse and stood beside Ye Qianning, and a murderous aura instantly enveloped this area.
Emperor Beili shuddered all over, and the high-level hidden guards landed beside him without a trace, protecting their master wholeheartedly.
Gu Shuo and Qian Fanji also stood on both sides at the first moment.
"Stand back."
Emperor Beili reacted and drove away the hidden guards.
The hidden guards retreated, and those who had been stunned came to their senses.
"Marquis Xiang Ming, you are so bold that you dare to attack the emperor." Prime Minister Gao scolded.
He glanced at Xiang Minghou coldly.
"father."
Ye Qianning reached out and tugged at his sleeve.
Only then did Xiang Minghou calm down.
Ye Qianning stepped forward and glanced at him coldly: "Prime Minister Gao, I haven't seen him for many years, and he still only knows how to bark."
"you……"
"Prime Minister Gao saw my father take action with that eye?"
"Marquis Xiang Ming clearly..."
"The Emperor hasn't said anything yet, and the Prime Minister is here to accuse me. Does he think the Emperor is gone?"
"You are young..."
"Lord Gao, please step aside."
Emperor Beili interrupted with dignity.
Prime Minister Gao's words were interrupted one after another, and his anger was stuck in his chest, unable to rise or fall. (End of this chapter)
