Chapter 221

After living in this strange world for such a long time, Yan Qiqi was already familiar with the work and rest time of Duke Cheng. Therefore, at the moment when the candle lit in his house, Yan Qiqi knocked on Yan Tianji's door with joy.

"Father."

Yan Tianji looked back and saw Yan Qiqi standing at the door.

He smiled in a loving and gentle voice, "why don't you sleep more? Father is going to the court. He can't have breakfast with you today. "

Yan Qiqi smiled, "my father forgot. My daughter is also Princess Anhe, who was personally granted by your majesty. She also wants to go into the palace with her father to pray."

Listening to her, Yan Tianji reacted, "yes, yes, my father is old and confused. He almost forgot our Qiqi, also the third grade princess."

"In that case, go with your father." Yan Tianji finally took a look at the bronze mirror, pulled the armor, made sure he was properly dressed and ready to go out.

Yan Qiqi looked at the furnishings in Yan Tianji's room. It was elegant and tasteless. It was not like a general's room. It was almost like a poor scholar's room.

She bit her lips, as if she had made up her mind, and called Yan Tianji, "father!"

At that time, Yan Tianji was just about to go out. Listening to her cry, she took her steps back, turned her head and looked at her. She looked strange, "what's the matter?"

Yan Qiqi looked at his father with a pair of black scissors. He tried and asked, "father, have you ever thought about renewing the string?"

Yan Tianji's sword eyebrow was slightly raised and his face was gloomy. "77, what gossip have you heard?"

On the contrary, Yan Qiqi was stunned by this. She shook her head, "no, but her daughter felt that her father did everything himself, and there was no one in the room who could not tell the truth..."

Even if it's a holiday for a dead wife, it's almost ten years.

Listening to her, Yan Tianji's eyes were deep and seemed to fall into a long memory. His voice was deep and painful. "In this life, except your mother, my father won't marry another woman, never."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little depressed.

She just mentioned it casually, but she didn't think it seemed to remind Yan Tianji of her sadness.

Yan Tianji also found it. He came over and patted Yan Qiqi's forehead lovingly, "don't worry about me, it's you. Did the prince pester you later?"

Seeing her hesitation, Yan Tianji could also expect what she was worried about. "Don't worry, although today is a big day, your majesty knows the weight. He won't say anything except praying in the imperial palace."

"But I can go at this time. Surely the prince will be there?"

What she was worried about was the prince. The last time she met the prince at the prince's house, she always felt that his eyes were hotter. Moreover, she didn't know how much he had listened to the long talk she said to the prince that day.

"You don't have to be too alarmed if the prince shows you his heart. He doesn't count on it alone." Yan Tianji was very careful and knew what she was afraid of. In fact, at the moment, he was even more upset, but he couldn't show it in front of his daughter.

"Of course my daughter knows, but I'm afraid..." what if the crown prince really goes his own way and gets out of control?

"It's all right. Your majesty will tell the prince. Besides, I won't let my daughter marry someone she doesn't like. Just follow me." Yan Tianji's statement was unequivocal.

"My daughter understands." Speaking of this, Yan Qiqi couldn't say anything more. In fact, what she didn't tell Yan Tianji was that her right eye had been jumping since yesterday, and her heart began to beat drums. She always felt that something bad would happen.

Because it was a big day to worship heaven, all civil and military officials must be present. Therefore, even the king of Shenjun, who had just been banned a few days ago, was carried to the Imperial Palace on a stretcher.

The blessing ceremony is also very simple, that is, the imperial supervisor shows that he takes his disciples to jump the great God at the temple of heaven, shakes the bell with both hands, and reads some incomprehensible spells in his mouth. After reading them, the courtiers kneel down and worship some incense, and the ceremony is almost over.

Emperor Yan's sedan chair was in front, followed by all civil and military officials. When he arrived at the Tai Chi hall, the sky was already bright. Emperor Yan looked like a hook at the courtiers kneeling on the ground, "the worship of heaven has been completed. Aiqing, step back."

"Your Majesty, I have an important announcement!" A weak voice came, as if he had tried his best.

Emperor Yan only heard his voice, but did not see him. "Who is making noise?"

As soon as the voice fell, the courtiers on both sides automatically gave way, but they saw that Bai Heng, the king of Shenjun, who had been beaten half his life by the stick in front of the hall a few days ago, knelt on the ground.

Emperor Yan narrowed his sharp eyes and stared at Bai Heng kneeling on the ground. His voice was dignified and could not hear his joy and anger. "What's the matter with Prince Shen?"

"Your Majesty, I risked my life to beg your majesty to re investigate the tragic death of my daughter!" When Bai Heng raised his head again, his face was covered with tears.

On the contrary, Emperor Yan's expression was a little impatient. His eyes were as deep as night, and he kept staring at Bai Heng, "as far as I know, Bai Xiyan committed suicide. Why should he die miserably? Besides, she has already settled down. Does Princess Shen want to open the coffin for autopsy? "

As soon as Emperor Yan's voice fell, someone among the courtiers was muttering, "Your Majesty, I think the fifty army staff before the prince hurt his brain and talked disorderly. Your majesty should not believe it!"

The officials who made friends with Xu Cheng in the imperial court didn't know the truth. When they heard that Bai Heng wanted to plead with his majesty for re investigation, they thought that Bai Heng wanted to drag Xu Cheng into the water. They were impatient to come out and speak for the Duke of Xu.

At the moment, Emperor Yan sitting in front of the case, with cold and empty eyes, is looking at Yan Tianji's place intentionally or unintentionally.

"Prince Shen, do you know why I chose the word 'Shen' when I sealed you?" Emperor Yan's thick voice resounded through the whole hall.

Bai Heng's heart trembled and his face turned white. He began to regret that he was too impatient. He knew that his Majesty was not such a fool. Now it's good that his majesty caught the wrong place.

"The word 'caution' is to make you cautious in your words and deeds, and always alert yourself to what to do and what not to do! Don't make it clear today. I won't spare you lightly! "
