Unspeakable joy filled His Majesty's heart.
The emperor carefully placed the white down feathers left by the little fat boy in his arms, then raised his hand slightly and said, "Lift it up."
The news of his awakening spread throughout the harem. The emperor had been pretending to be unconscious, and now the remaining poison had been cleared, and all the hidden injuries on his body had been completely healed.
The reason why he had to lie down any longer was that he, a sinner, should go to meet his children.
Now that the weather has warmed up, the warm light shines on the faces of the ministers, but many of them feel extremely cold in their hearts.
The emperor originally wanted to rush to his child without stopping, but when he thought about his child turning into a bird, he did not forget the safety of the people.
So the emperor summoned all the ministers.
As long as the court officials saw Emperor Mingxi, they would not dare to act rashly, let alone when the emperor returned to the top?
Emperor Mingxi stood tall and straight, with sharp eyes and a cold aura. His gaze swept across everyone's face, lingering longest on Prince An and Prince Ping.
Princes An and Ping could not bear the emperor's cold and stern gaze, and they shrank like two quails, their teeth chattering.
The aging king can make them terrified, let alone their brother who is at the peak of his power?
Even when the emperor called out to them, everyone still knelt on the ground with their foreheads touching the ground, not daring to move.
It’s not because the emperor suddenly became ten years younger, but because the emperor with this young face reminded them of the fear in their memories.
At that time, His Majesty was the most ruthless and cruel. He killed people without blinking an eye and would skin and tear out the bones of those who made mistakes.
He also looked at people coldly with a dignified face.
Although Your Majesty is in his forties and is insane, he will not kill people at the slightest provocation.
But a younger emperor would kill without saying a word and would just chop him down with a single blow.
How can they not be afraid?
"Why are you kneeling? I don't kill people." The emperor looked at the shivering courtiers and spoke calmly.
He had called out for the second time, and no one dared to kneel down again. They all supported each other.
Even people I dislike find their faces amiable.
Prince An's legs kept shaking, but Prince Ping still had the audacity to glance at the emperor out of the corner of his eye.
King Ping saw that the emperor had a calm look and was about to say a few words when he saw the emperor throw a knife to the ground.
It happened to be right in front of the two kings.
The scimitar looked extremely sharp, with a faint red glow on the blade, as if it had pierced into the flesh of many people and was full of blood.
As soon as they saw the knife, King An and King Ping fell to the ground in an instant.
Prince An's plump body was squeezed into a ball. He immediately knelt on the ground, and two lines of tears instantly slid down his cheeks.
King Ping was a beat late, but he also knelt on the ground.
"Brother Royal, I have been staying at home obediently these days and have not seen anyone. I have absolutely no second thoughts. If I had any other thoughts, Your Majesty, you can kill me or chop me up as you please, but I absolutely do not have such intentions, Your Majesty!"
"I have the utmost respect for you and the Crown Prince. When I see the Crown Prince, it's like you're here in person. My Royal Highness, you know the Crown Prince has a liking for me too, and he often calls me 'Get lost!'"
Prince An expressed his loyalty with tears and snot. If he was not extremely afraid of Emperor Mingxi, he would have hugged the emperor's legs and cried.
Prince An burst into tears.
He knew that Yan Jiyuan had a very tough life. He had often been seriously injured in the past, and every time the imperial physician told him that he could only leave it to fate.
But after a few days, his royal brother was wandering around again with an expressionless and handsome face.
This time he believed that his royal brother was unconscious. After all, his nephew's whereabouts were unknown, and his royal brother valued his nephew more than his own life.
Then being unconscious is normal.
But he would definitely not believe it even if he died. His royal brother had been sentenced to death so many times that even the King of Hell probably wouldn't take him.
So he didn't dare to have any thoughts at all. When his eldest son was hinted by his royal brother that he was the adopted son, he just passed by the mansion.
Outside, I won't take the initiative to make friends with anyone.
Doesn’t Prince An know that his eldest son looks down on him and thinks he is too afraid of Yan Jiyuan?
At this moment, he really wanted to bring Yan Zeli over and let him feel how terrifying Yan Jiyuan was.
Prince An burst into tears, but no one dared to look at him any more.
When King Ping saw King An crying so hard, he immediately quit!
What does Yan Chang mean? Can you please say a few good words for him?
They are brothers in distress.
Prince Ping pinched Prince An's thigh, elbowed Prince An, and pushed him aside, crying out, "Brother, please allow me to report that Hua Jin has been looking for the young prince's whereabouts every day, and I strongly agree with you!"
Thinking of Prince An's friendship with the young prince, Prince Ping's eyes turned, "Royal brother! Hua Jin and the young prince are still the most feared ghosts in the palace. This is enough to show my loyalty to the emperor and my patriotism."
The two princes had no regard for their demeanor at all, and were trying to gain sympathy and act pitifully.
Nonsense, your life is about to be lost, what's the point of having such a demeanor?
But His Majesty was seen standing against the light, his nearly perfect skin was outlined with a circle of gold, his eyes were cold, and his light-colored thin lips were pressed into a straight line.
His Majesty spoke slowly.
Er Wang's heart was jumping into his throat.
"I have no doubt about you two. What are you doing?" The emperor seemed to know nothing, as if the knife just happened to fall in front of them.
Prince An: I xxxxxxxxxx
King Ping: Yan Jiyuan, you xxxxxxxx
Even though they cursed the emperor a thousand times in their hearts, the two men did not dare to show it on their faces. They only nodded and bowed to the emperor, their eyes full of flattery.
Seeing the two kings so humiliated, the court officials thought that His Majesty was really going to punish them.
But now Your Majesty has said that you do not doubt the two kings, so who exactly does Your Majesty doubt?
The ministers were suspicious of each other and their eyes wandered from one another's faces.
The person who is looked at the most wants to dig a hole and bury himself in it, saying no more looking, no more looking.
He is loyal to Your Majesty!
The court officials felt uneasy. As His Majesty did not speak, the atmosphere in the palace was as silent as death.
The emperor stood on the jade steps, looking down at these people who had followed him for a long time.
Emperor Mingxi stood up from the dragon throne, and the attendants around him also took a few steps forward. Wu Zhonghe even wanted to support the emperor, but was scared away by the emperor's cold gaze.
Wu Zhonghe wanted to slap himself. His Majesty was in very good health now, so why was he jumping around in front of him?
The emperor, who looked like the immortal Gushe, stepped down the jade steps, and the court officials who were bowing their heads knelt on the ground in an instant.
The emperor walked slowly, Wu Zhonghe followed a few steps behind, and the palace servants also followed behind His Majesty with their heads lowered.
His Majesty had only taken a few steps when everyone was so nervous that they were sweating profusely and didn't even dare to breathe. They felt as if a guillotine was across their necks.
The emperor remained silent for a long time.
Everyone had no choice but to look at Pei Hangqing and Xiang Jing calmly.
Aren't you His Majesty's confidants? What's going on? Ask quickly.
Pei Hangqing lowered his eyes, thinking about his future monarch.
Now that His Majesty has regained his youth, is the little prince also safe and sound?
