The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 205 Master Yanling, Don’t Shake Your Hands (1)
As the crown prince of a country, if Chu Yi'an doesn't even have this kind of ambition and courage, it is tantamount to declaring to the world that he is not worthy of this position. It is no surprise that after this conversation, Chu Yi'an can only accept the order silently, but it is just conceivable. As far as I know, when he came out of the imperial study room, the face of the current crown prince would definitely not be too good-looking.

After all, the emperor was old, and he was obviously tired after staying up all night and being poisoned in front of him. After watching Chu Yi'an leave, he seemed to be discouraged, and let out a heavy mouthful of stale air that had been accumulated for a long time from his chest.

Li Ruixiang stood behind him, very wisely, he didn't step forward to serve him.

The emperor sat up straight after only a while, his face condensed and solemn.

At this time, the curtains in the inner room next to him were windless, and a tall and slender shadow floated down from the beams and stood beside him with its head down.

"Your Majesty!" The voice was steady and deep, without any ups and downs or emotions.

The emperor's pupils shrank, and his flabby cheeks trembled.

The next moment, he suddenly waved his hand violently with all his strength.

The emperor was born as a general, and although he was no longer as heroic as he used to be after more than ten years of pampering, the force of the slap under this wrath cannot be underestimated.

The black-robed man was very focused, his body stood still, but his head was tilted to one side, four bright red fingerprints were clearly visible on his cheeks, a drop of residual blood splashed from the corner of his lips, and landed on the back of the emperor's wrinkled hands.

The emperor stared coldly at the bright red point on his hand, and then a crazy blood color rushed into his eyes. After the burning, he suddenly cursed hysterically: "Trash!"

His voice was hoarse, but because of his anger, he erupted like a rainbow, like rough sand rubbing from the mouth of a person, and the guards guarding outside felt goosebumps out of thin air.

The black-robed guest turned her face to the side. When day and night alternated, the light in the hall was dim, and her complexion was always dull, without any expression. At this time, there was a dark shadow under the thick eyelashes, and even the expression in her eyes could not be seen clearly.

After receiving the emperor's slap to vent his anger, he knelt down on one knee neatly just now, and confessed in a calm and emotionless tone: "This subordinate is not good at work, and he is willing to accept the punishment. Please deal with it by the emperor!"

The emperor stared at him sullenly, but after a while, he let out a cold snort.

The black-robed man didn't wait for him to speak, he flipped his wrist and dropped a dagger as thin as a cicada's wing from his sleeve, the sharp blade penetrated into the flesh and then into the bone, piercing his ribs with a squeak.

The smell of blood gradually spread in the air. The emperor smelled it, and suddenly there seemed to be a flash of light in his cloudy and dark eyes.

The hall was empty and silent, among the three of them, the only thing that could be discerned was the rough breathing of the old emperor under his wrath.

But from the beginning to the end, the black robe didn't even hum, as if what he cut just now was just a piece of rotten wood, not his flesh and blood.

The emperor didn't say a word, he knelt for half a cup of tea, then got up covering his wound, and walked out step by step, with a straight back and steady steps.

As time passed, Li Ruixiang's peaceful voice was vaguely heard reporting softly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is a reason for this, and in fact, it's not all due to the fit—"

The black-robed guest kept walking, pushed the door open, and the dawn light pierced through the sky outside, reflecting the woman's plain and expressionless face.

She drifted silently towards the rising sun in that direction, and then she walked steadily to the corner of the corridor with her slender and tall body wrapped in a black robe, and disappeared with the fading night behind her.

Early the next morning, the genius Meng Mengliang's sharp voice came through the air, breaking the tranquility of the morning.

"Empress Empress Yizhi, Princess Xuan Xunyang enters the palace to have an audience!" Ni Ankui, the Chief Eunuch of the Longevity Palace, recited the Queen's oral instructions loudly.

All the people in the Eastern Palace listened respectfully with their eyes lowered.

Chu Yi'an and Chu Qifeng were not there, and Chu Xunyang knelt in front of the crowd, sighing helplessly in his heart, but on the face he accepted the order respectfully.

Steward Zeng stuffed the reward money into Ni Ankui's hands, and Ni Ankui picked it up as usual, and put it in his sleeve.

The eldest lady smiled and took a step forward, and said: "According to the practice in the palace, the empress and empress visit us every hour of the day. It's still early in the day, and I will go first with Lao Gonggong. When I turn around, I will accompany the princess to enter Go to the palace to greet the empress!"

There was a rule in the founding of the Xiyue Dynasty. After the thirtieth year, the emperor accepted the worship of all the officials and gave a state banquet to bid farewell to the old year. On the morning of the first day of the lunar new year, the queen would hold a separate banquet in the Shoukang Palace and meet the wives and family members.

This is the ancestral system. If it is for this, there is no need to pass an edict at all. Now that Empress Luo has issued a single oral order to summon Chu Xunyang, how can the eldest lady not understand the meaning?But because she knew that Empress Luo didn't have a good impression of Chu Xunyang because of Fang's anger, and Chu Yi'an was not around at the moment, she could only pretend to be confused, vaguely not wanting to let Chu Xunyang enter the palace alone.

"No need!" Ni Ankui raised the corners of his eyes, and said with a smirk: "The empress's will is to meet with the princess of Xunyang alone, and to say a few words of personal opinion between grandparents and grandchildren. Da Furen can do it first I'm busy with you, it's not too late to enter the palace when it's time for an audience."

After speaking, he turned to Chu Xunyang and said, "Princess, the driving servants outside are all prepared for you, please go ahead!"

Compared with Cai just now, his attitude was a little more amicable.

In order to accept the order, Chu Xunyang had already changed into court clothes at this time, and the eldest lady just wanted to use more excuses to delay for a moment, so she could only be anxious.

Ni Ankui seemed to be waiting respectfully, but there was a hint of intimidation in it.

Chu Xunyang glanced at him with a smile, then missed him to look at the luxurious carriage parked in the alley outside, knowing that he couldn't push it away, he readily agreed.

"Thanks to the great love of the emperor's grandmother, how dare I refuse to obey? Then there will be father-in-law!" Chu Xunyang said, with a brisk tone.

The expression on Ni Ankui's face froze slightly as he was no longer there, and then quickly changed into a smiling face and went down to lead the way.

"Quick, get the princess's fox fur!" Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, and she didn't try to annoy Empress Luo, she hurriedly waved her hands.

The little girl standing behind ran in quickly, and hugged Chu Xunyang's fur coat as quickly as possible.

The eldest lady took it, and went forward to put it on her, and said softly: "The weather is freezing these few days, it may snow again after noon, don't catch the wind and cold."

While speaking, he kept giving her winks with a worried expression.

"Ma'am, don't worry." Chu Xunyang smiled slightly, and patted the back of her hand a little bit reassuringly.

Even though seeing her confident appearance, the eldest lady still felt uneasy after all.
