Chapter 011: Goodbye in the Imperial Study
"See the Dragon Emperor, long live long live long live."
"Princess Cailuan, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose."
The courtiers shouted.
The Dragon Emperor nodded indifferently and waved his hand: "Zhong Qing, take a seat." ”
Hearing the Dragon Emperor's words, everyone took their seats.
Long Zhantian and the others, as the prince and princess, sat in the position closest to the Dragon Emperor on the right in order of eldest and youngest, and the Queen Mother and the concubines sat on the position closest to the Dragon Emperor on the left.
Then the prince and princess and the hundred officials began to celebrate their birthdays, and they got up one after another to offer congratulatory messages-
"I wish my father a long life, a blessed sacrament, and a prosperous country."
"Erchen wishes my father and the emperor a healthy body, and may the world be peaceful."
"Erchen..."
……
Seeing this situation, a hint of joy appeared on the Dragon Emperor's face, and he waved his big hand: "Spread my word, today I will amnesty the world, the imperial city will hold a banquet for three days, and the whole world will celebrate." ”
"Your Majesty is wise, long live long live long live!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately shouted loudly.
"Sit."
Then, the singing and dancing in the palace were leveled, and a large number of food and wine were served, which was luxurious.
Everyone admired the graceful figure of the stunning dancing girl, only to see that she was wearing a crop top low-necked wrap corset, and a wide-sleeved fairy skirt on the bottom, with a face of tulle, long sleeves and good dancing, and her eyes were like silk.
The stunning dancing girl twisted her waist like a water snake, and approached the Dragon Emperor quietly.
Suddenly, Tu Poor Dagger saw that a terrifying hidden weapon flew out from the dress of the stunning dancing girl, and went straight to the Dragon Emperor's face.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked, and Long Zhantian yelled violently: "Father, be careful! ”
"Ah!!h
Two black dragon guards hidden in the shadows suddenly appeared, resolutely blocking in front of the Dragon Emperor, using their spiritual power to protect their bodies, and the battle knives in their hands against their chests to block the hidden weapons.
But seeing that the nameless secret weapon was extremely sharp and powerful, the weapons and body protection spiritual power of the two black dragon guards were instantly pierced like paper paste, and the hidden weapon pierced through the flesh and blood and flew towards the Dragon Emperor unabated.
"Hmph, carving insect skills."
At a critical moment, the eunuch beside the Dragon Emperor made a surprise move, and he shot down the hidden weapon casually.
Everyone was taken aback when they saw this, the eunuchs around the Dragon Emperor had such a powerful strength.
From the breath perception, at least a seven-rank grand master.
"Catch the assassin!"
The crowd roared.
However, at the moment when the hidden weapon was shot, the stunning dancer committed suicide by taking poison at the same time, without the slightest hesitation.
When the palace guards stepped forward to investigate, they said with a gloomy face: "Back to Your Majesty, she is dead." ”
The Dragon Emperor's face could not see joy and sorrow, and he said expressionlessly: "Drag it out and show it to the public." ”
"Yes."
Soon, the body of the stunning dancer was dragged out of the palace, and her head was cut off and hung above the imperial city.
This is not the first time this has happened.
With the strength of the Dragon Emperor, even if no one made a move to block the hidden weapon, the other party would not be able to hurt him.
It's just that someone took advantage of his birthday banquet to make trouble and deliberately disgusted him with a human life.
Although the Shenlong Dynasty was prosperous and powerful, there were also many hostile forces in the open and in the dark.
The other party was able to arrange an assassin and blind everyone to his birthday feast, and the energy behind it must not be simple.
"The lowly escort is not good, please surrender your majesty!"
Dozens of black dragon guards hiding in the palace appeared one after another, kneeling on one knee respectfully, looking fearless of life and death.
The Dragon Emperor glanced at them indifferently, and said coldly: "Afterwards, go and receive the punishment yourself, check it out for me, and retreat." ”
"Yes."
As the words fell, the black dragon guards took away the hidden weapon, and once again concealed their aura and figure disappeared, as if they had never existed.
"The son's escort is not good, please ask my father to surrender."
Long Zhantian resolutely stood up and said in a deep voice.
"The courtiers are not in a good position, please ask Your Majesty to surrender."
Seeing this scene, all the generals opened their mouths to plead guilty, and the momentum was huge.
"Get up, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't disturb the interest over this trivial matter."
The Dragon Emperor waved his hand and said, "Then the music, then the dance." ”
The presence of the Assassin was nothing more than a minor episode at the birthday feast.
After that, the palace guards strengthened the vigilance inside and outside the palace, and there were no special situations.
After a night of luxury, the Dragon Emperor's birthday banquet ended, and everyone said goodbye to each other and left the palace.
From beginning to end, except for the birthday speech, he didn't say a word to the Dragon Emperor.
Of course, Long Junjiu has long been accustomed to this.
However, when he was about to leave the palace, a eunuch in the palace suddenly stopped him and shouted in a feminine and shrill voice: "Your Highness the Nine, Your Highness the Nine, please stay." ”
Hearing this, Long Junjiu turned back suspiciously.
"Your Highness the Nine, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor wants to see you, and His Majesty asked the slave to tell you that he is waiting for you in the imperial study."
The eunuch said urgently.
"Father wants to see me? Why? ”
Long Junjiu was slightly stunned, and asked with a strange look.
"Where can the slave and maid understand His Majesty's thoughts, Your Highness the Ninth will naturally know in the past."
The eunuch said respectfully.
Long Junjiu nodded, glanced back at the gate of the palace, and said lightly: "Lead the way." ”
"Okay, His Highness the Ninth is here, please."
After six years, Long Junjiu came to the Dragon Emperor's imperial study again.
The imperial study is still the imperial study, and the Dragon Emperor is still the Dragon Emperor, and there seems to be no change.
Hearing the footsteps, the Dragon Emperor slowly put down the brush in his hand, looked at Long Junjiu with a deep and calm gaze, raised his head and said, "Here, close the door, get closer." ”
Long Junjiu turned around and closed the door of the imperial study, and stepped forward to the desk.
Long Junjiu looked a little nervous, and asked softly, "Father, are you looking for me?" ”
The Dragon Emperor asked in a flat tone, "How have you been in the past six years?" Is there a shortage in life? ”
Long Junjiu looked respectful, leaned over and replied: "No, thanks to the emperor's blessing, Erchen has always lived well, and Erchen is very satisfied with his current life." ”
"yes, that's good."
The Dragon Emperor paused for a moment and said lightly: "I heard that you have a conflict with the Shangshu of the Criminal Department?" ”
Long Junjiu's heart condensed slightly, and immediately said in a deep voice: "The son of the minister knows that he can't hide it from his father, the son of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department insults the son of the emperor on the street, and the son of the minister will kill him if he is angry, if the father wants to punish me, he will punish me alone." ”
"Why did I punish you? You are right, you have not forgotten your identity, the royal family cannot be humiliated, I can scold you, your royal brothers and sisters can also scold you, but others can't, insulting the royal family is a capital crime, no exceptions. ”
The Dragon Emperor looked indifferent and said in an extremely strong and domineering manner.
Hearing this, Long Junjiu suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, and there was a trace of joy.
This cheap father is still willing to go to him after all.
"One more thing, I heard that you are helping those refugees outside the Imperial City, but is this about it?"
The Dragon Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Long Junjiu meaningfully.
Long Junjiu admitted calmly and said, "Back to my father, this is indeed the case. ”
"Tell me, I want to hear your thoughts."
