Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Price of Provocation
Definitely not, Chu Yuning clenched his hands fiercely, and after taking a deep look in the direction of the palace, he turned around and disappeared into the corner of the palace.
After sending Chu Yuning away, Luo Xuanze stayed in the study, looking at the latest secret letter, the corners of his eyebrows raised slightly, and even the cold lines on his face eased a lot.
"Lord, there is news from the palace announcing your entry into the palace." The housekeeper hurriedly came to report.
Ah Rong became nervous, since the news of Luo Xuanze's return to the capital spread, the important ministers in the court all came to the palace to hand over the post, but they were all rejected by Luo Xuanze.
On the contrary, the palace is very quiet, it has been a few days, how can the prince suddenly enter the palace at this time?
"Lord Wang? There's something strange about it. ”
Putting down the fold in his hand, Luo Xuanze gently pulled it on the table with one hand.
After waiting for so long, there is finally news.
"Go and talk back, saying that the king will go after changing his clothes."
The butler nodded, and quickly retreated.
Ah Rong looked worried, "Lord Wang, my subordinates will go with you." ”
This time going to the palace is definitely more auspicious, and he must not worry about Luo Xuanze going alone.
Luo Xuanze knew his concerns, picked up the pen and wrote a few words on a piece of paper, and handed it to Ah Rong, "Send this out." ”
"But you ...... alone," Ah Rong was still a little relieved.
"No problem." Luo Xuanze said coldly, he still has something to confirm.
What's more, how he was injured and lost his memory in the first place, he already had a clue in his heart.
It's just that, he has no evidence all along.
Right now, it's a good opportunity.
Imperial Palace, Zhaoyang Palace.
A woman in a luxurious phoenix dress sat on the main hall, although she was nearly thirty years old, but she was very well maintained, and her beautiful face was filled with the silence of the years, adding a bit of charm.
Beside her sat a teenage child, dressed in a dragon robe, and the whole person exuded innate nobility, it was the little emperor of the dynasty, Luo Xingchen.
In addition to the two people, there were also some important ministers in the court, all of whom had visited him before, but they all refused on the grounds that they were unwell.
Among these people, the leader is Situ Jie.
I didn't expect to be able to climb to this position in this short period of time, it seems that he really underestimated him at the beginning.
Seeing Luo Xuanze walking in from outside the hall, Luo Xingchen hurriedly got up and greeted him.
"Weichen see Your Majesty and participate in the Queen Mother." Luo Xuanze bowed respectfully.
"The prince is polite, you are missing like this, I and the queen mother are very worried, you are fine." Luo Xingchen said with a happy face.
Luo Xuanze took a step back slightly, avoiding contact with him. "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern."
Luo Xingchen's face stiffened, and he subconsciously glanced at the woman behind him.
The woman shook her head at him silently, Luo Xingchen came back to his senses and withdrew his hand, "The prince has not been in the court for this time, I have lost your right-hand man, and many things are still not handled well, I am really glad that you are fine." ”
Luo Xingchen said politely.
"Your Majesty has grown up, and Weichen was originally ordered by the emperor to support Your Majesty, and now that Your Majesty is older, many things can be handled by yourself."
Hearing Luo Xuanze say this, Luo Xingchen's eyes couldn't help but be a little more surprised.
Could it be that he would really let go of power so easily?
"No matter what, the prince is still my most trusted person, and I specially set up a banquet today to catch the wind and wash the dust for the prince."
Without waiting for Luo Xuanze to speak, soon a palace maid arranged the dishes.
After Luo Xuanze sat down, everyone dared to put the realization on him.
"The prince must have had a lot of interesting things happen outside during this time, I don't know if I would like to talk to the mourning family?"
The woman sitting in the hall suddenly spoke, and the low voice was particularly harsh in the main hall.
"It's all inconsequential, it's not worth mentioning." Luo Xuanze said coldly.
The woman's face changed slightly, the hand holding the cup slowly tightened, and the smile on her face stiffened.
Seeing this, Luo Xingchen glanced at the eunuch behind him, and the eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and handed him the object in his hand.
"I've got something a few days ago, and I think it's very interesting, and I want to share it with the ministers."
After speaking, he put the thing on the table, it was a transparent jade plate, which was a rare color at a glance, and the most special thing was that there were a few faint red threads in the middle of the jade plate.
Luo Xuanze's face changed suddenly, and the breath of the whole person became cold.
"The texture of this jade is really rare, and only His Majesty can obtain such a treasure." Situ Jie said with a flattering face.
Since this little emperor ascended the throne, he has been suppressed by Luo Xuanze, and he is naturally very dissatisfied in his heart.
He figured out his thoughts, so he began to cultivate his own power during the period when Luo Xuanze was missing, and he also gained the trust of this little emperor.
Luo Xingchen listened to his stammering words, and raised his head proudly, "This is natural, I finally got this." ”
"I don't know where Your Majesty got it from?" Luo Xuanze said coldly.
Luo Xingchen raised his head proudly, "A few days ago, I and Situ Aiqing observed the people's feelings, and happened to meet a few bandits who robbed in public, I rescued people and found this from these bandits. ”
Luo Xuanze's eyes waited for Situ Jie coldly, and he obviously saw a sneer flashing at the corner of his mouth, and his hands were clenched.
"And where are these bandits now?"
Luo Xingchen was stunned for a moment, he had never seen Luo Xuanze look so gloomy again, and he couldn't help but be a little scared.
"Lord Wang, are you questioning Your Majesty now?" Situ Jie stepped forward and said sharply.
Luo Xuanze's gaze fell directly on him, and the powerful murderous aura made Situ Jie frightened.
He is just a civilian official, how can he compete with Luo Xuanze, the god of war who fights on the battlefield.
"I'm talking to Your Majesty, and I haven't had the right time for you to interject." After that, the cup in Luo Xuanze's hand shattered to the ground, and a fragment flew directly into Situ Jie's eyes.
only heard a violent scream, and Situ Jie's whole person fell directly to the ground in pain and wailed.
The entire hall was silent, looking at the man in front of him with fear on his face.
Luo Xingchen was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground, and pointed at Luo Xuanze with one hand, "Regent, you...... Bold ......"
How dare he waste Situ Jie's eyes in front of him.
This scene really hit him too hard.
"That's enough." The woman behind her shouted, Luo Xingchen glanced at her aggrievedly, and the woman shook her head gently at him, "Go to Imperial Doctor Xuan." ”
Soon, several guards carried Situ Jie down, and the entire hall instantly returned to calm.
