Destiny Phoenix

Chapter 259
Mu Zheng was the commander of the Imperial Army, and he didn't need a pass to enter the palace, but Zhan Ying was different.

He is a foreign minister, entering the palace without an order, that is a serious crime!
After performing the state ceremony, before the emperor could speak, Mo Zhanhua's face sank, and he reprimanded in a cold voice: "Zhanying, who gave you the courage to break into the palace without asking for orders! You don't know etiquette, you want to Let this king drive you out of the barracks?"

"I don't dare for a lowly position." Zhan Ying prostrated herself in fear, "The lowly position enters the palace without permission, and dare not argue. I also ask the emperor and the prince to come down."

Seeing this, Muzheng hurriedly explained for him: "Your Majesty, your lord, the general Zhan entered the palace this time, and there was indeed an important matter to report to the emperor, and it was the minister who decided to bring the general Zhan in privately. Punish the minister."

Mo Zhanhua reprimanded him first, and then Mu Zheng defended him. The emperor couldn't say anything. He smiled generously and said, "That's all, let's all get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two stood up.

When Mo Zhanhua's deep eyes swept over Zhanying, Zhanying returned a gesture to Zhanwang that everything is going well at a speed that others could not detect.The King of War nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

"Muzheng, you went and came back, but what happened?" the emperor asked.

"Yes." Mu Zheng lowered his head, spoke for a while, and then said in a low voice: "If you go back to the emperor, I met the prince at the Chonghua Gate."

"Prince?!" The emperor paused, "Didn't he think about it in the East Palace? Why did he go to the Chonghua Gate?"

"This—" Mu Zheng lowered his head even lower, intending to help the prince hide it, but with such a big situation, he couldn't hide it anyway, if he said it, the prince's future would be ruined.

The loyal commander of the imperial army was a little embarrassed.

"Say!" Seeing his hesitation, the emperor probably guessed the reason, his face sank, and his anger suddenly rose.

Muzheng didn't dare to hide anything more, and was going out of the city gate truthfully. He happened to meet the prince leading an army to attack the city, and told the emperor the truth.

After the emperor heard this, a gloomy light flashed in his deep eyes, and he looked at Zhanying faintly, "How did you appear in Chonghuamen when the prince led troops to attack the city?"

His majesty, who was so angry, probably forgot that all the carriages, horses and entourage of officials entering the palace must stay outside the Chonghua Gate.Although Mo Zhanhua had privileges, he could only park his carriage in front of the Jinluan Hall.At this time, it was the New Year's Eve, and all the officials were resting. If he wanted to go to the palace where the emperor lived, he had to abandon his car and take a chariot at Chonghua Gate.Zhanying stopped with the chariots and horses, so he could only wait at the Chonghua Gate.

After listening to the explanation, the emperor let out a deep "Yes", then turned his eyes to Muzheng, "Where is that Nizi? I want to see him!"

Half a quarter of an hour later, the prince was escorted to the hall.

Since he is a noble prince, he didn't wear shackles or any other instruments of torture, but his head armor was removed, and his hair was a little messy.Kneeling on the ground, he cried bitterly, "Father, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time."

"Forgive you?" The emperor paused every word with a livid face, "I told you to think about it in the East Palace, look at you, what have you done?"

The emperor was so angry that his whole body was trembling with anger.

This is his good son!
Just a moment ago, he was still thinking about how to keep his crown prince in front of all the officials, and even discussed with Mo Zhanhua, asking him to say a few words for the crown prince when he went to court after the festival.But never expected, this rebellious son is actually a wolf's heart!

In the prince's eyes, the emperor's expression undoubtedly became the determination to kill him. He turned to Mo Zhanhua for help, but found that Mo Zhanhua didn't look at him at all.

My heart suddenly became colder, and I said with a sobbing voice: "Father, it's because my son is afraid!"
