Everyone in the Zhao family practiced martial arts and was extremely sensitive to murderous intent. Zhao Bang didn't even have time to cry and wanted to strangle this ignorant woman to death.
"Fourth Brother, step back. After all, he is the Seventh Prince's man. How can we, as his subjects, overstep the boundaries?"
Qiao Yujiao was secretly proud in her heart. In ancient times, imperial power was supreme, and they, the ministers, were like dogs. How could they dare to rebel against their master?
The Seventh Prince's face turned grim, finally realizing Qiao Yujiao's arrogance and stupidity. He waved his hand and said, "Grant her death. Let her die quickly."
Qiao Yujiao was incredulous: "Your Highness, what are you talking about? Are you going to sentence them to death? I am your Highness's man!"
"I regret this. I didn't expect you to have only good looks but no brains. Go ahead."
Without any hesitation, Qiao Yujiao was pressed to the ground. Before she could come to her senses, the guard twisted her neck. The last thing she saw was her own buttocks, and then she fell to the ground, dying with her eyes open.
Zhao Biao lamented, "How could Your Highness be so cruel to such a beautiful girl? Just give her a beating so she'll learn her lesson."
The Seventh Prince doesn't want to talk, isn't it because you guys forced him to do so?
There were bursts of roars coming from the distance, and there were many more patrolling soldiers on the streets. Emperor Xuande couldn't sleep, so he summoned Song Lian to protect him. The noise outside was too scary.
The prince also came, he wanted to accompany his father.
Emperor Xuande was about to ask a question when Eunuch An came to report: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't sleep and wants to accompany the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Let him in and don't scare the child."
Xiao Shanjian came in and said, "Grandfather, I'm not afraid. I know it must be Le Tong. Will she be in danger?
I only regret that my grandson is not capable enough to help Letong."
"Good boy, Le Tong is a fairy who has descended to earth. What could happen to her? You don't need to worry."
The prince said, "After all, having spent some time with Miss Zhao day and night, it's natural for Ah Jian to be worried. We've been friends since childhood, and growing up together, we can be considered childhood sweethearts."
Emperor Xuande had an idea: "How about granting me a marriage?"
Xiao Shanjian was embarrassed and annoyed: "Grandfather, Father, let's get down to business. Le Tong is fighting for his life, and you are still joking."
Emperor Xuande chuckled: "Are you anxious, Ah Jian? Silly child, when Letong grows up, he will be more capable and knowledgeable, and he will not look down on you anymore."
"No, it must be because my grandson is not good enough. If that's the case, I won't blame Le Tong."
"Look, he's still a lovesick boy. Even at such a young age, he's better at coaxing girls than you."
Xiao Shanjian simply kept silent, but the emperor's grandfather loved to tease him.
However, when thinking about his future marriage with Zhao Letong, his face couldn't help but blush. He had to be strong enough to be worthy of Letong in the future.
Song Lian came in and saw that the atmosphere was not right. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I am busy. What do you want me to do?"
Emperor Xuande said, "There's such a commotion outside. What's going on? How can I sleep if you don't tell me?"
Song Lian: "That's the internal conflict between the remnants of the Southern Frontier and the Saint. My junior sister went to help. Your Majesty, please wait for good news."
"Internal strife? That's good. Who is the Saint?"
"Little Sister-in-Law's mother's body was stolen by the remnants of the Southern Border, whose spirit was locked away and refined into a half-zombie appearance. This is a deep hatred. That remnant is dead, and it will be an extremely painful death. Little Sister-in-Law is angry, and the consequences will be serious."
"Oh, so cruel? Can't these remnants of the Southern Border be completely exterminated?"
"It's hard to say. This secret technique is passed down from generation to generation. They like to live deep in the mountains and forests, rarely going out. Our army can't attack them, so it's difficult to exterminate them."
Unless the junior nun comes forward and destroys their lair.
Song Lian did not say this out loud, as he did not want to cause trouble for the little aunt. However, as the little aunt grew up, her abilities gradually awakened, and perhaps she could clean up the remnants of the southern border from thousands of miles away.
He is looking forward to this day and believes that the wait will not be too long.
"Are you going to help?"
Emperor Xuande saw that he was fidgeting and waved his hand, saying, "Go ahead. I'll be waiting for you to come back."
Song Lian stood up and said, "I am going to see the little nun's practice and learn something. I will take my leave now."
After that, no one left. Emperor Xuande shook his head and said, "They are all hermits, each with their own unique personality. I don't want to be an emperor anymore. I want to practice Taoism."
Isn't it better to be able to transcend the heaven and earth and live forever than to be an emperor and work hard?
Xiao Shanjian rarely spoke the truth: "Grandfather, you are too old. I'm afraid it won't work. Le Tong told me that cultivation depends on opportunity and aptitude. The younger you are, the easier it is to awaken. Your grandson can give it a try."
The prince panicked: "Son, you can't do that. You are the future crown prince, why are you practicing Taoism?"
"Grandfather, my father is in his prime, and I can have some fun, but it depends on whether Le Tong agrees."
Emperor Xuande agreed: "Ajian's idea is quite good. It's not wrong for children to learn more. After becoming a monk, there is still a way to return to secular life.
You and the Crown Princess should work harder and give birth to more legitimate sons. It's not good to let the children bear all the responsibilities. How much pressure will the children put on you? I didn't discipline you so strictly back then."
The Crown Prince was very strict with Xiao Shanjian, and the Crown Princess also urged the child to study hard all day long, without considering that the child was only five or six years old, which was the age when he loved to play.
They raised their child like an old man. They are really good.
Xiao Shanjian was touched: "Thank you, Grandfather, for your understanding of my grandson."
Emperor Xuande asked him to sit next to him and held his hand lovingly. The prince didn't want to talk to him, so he asked him to leave and go to the side hall so that he could have a good talk with his grandson about cultivation.
The prince was heartbroken. Was the child just taken away by his father?
I went through the same thing when I was a kid. My father was partial to me.
Eunuch An said, "Don't mind it, Prince. It's said that generations apart are close. It's a good thing that the Emperor loves his grandson."
"I know. What time is it?"
"Your Highness, please get ready before the performance begins in a quarter of an hour."
"Go and urge Father."
You can't bring your grandson with you to court, right?
Emperor Xuande regretted it and could only change into his dragon robe. He didn't want to attend the morning court for the whole day.
Xiao Shanjian felt that his father's current behavior was very similar to when Le Tong didn't want to go to school.
"Grandfather, I'll prepare breakfast for you when you come back."
"Well, eat first, then go to sleep for a while. Children won't grow tall if they don't sleep well. Be careful that Le Tong will dislike you."
The corners of Xiao Shanjian's mouth dropped again. He still wanted to take a look at Le Tong, otherwise he couldn't sleep.
My grandfather won’t blame me for sneaking out of the palace, right?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Xiao Shanjian avoided the guards and hid in a food delivery cart and left the palace again.
By the time the prince discovered it, the person had already run away. He shook his head helplessly. The child had become wild and had the emperor's support, so it would be even more difficult to control him in the future.
I just hope he is safe and happy. I don’t want my child to go through the same hardships that the prince has gone through.
