At first, there were some who expressed their dissatisfaction, but the moment they opened their mouth, they would be scolded by Yu Tianqi. After that, among the people in the imperial court, no one said anything about him, they praised him for his magnanimity, and had the demeanor of a Ancestor Emperor.
Since that person was a good person and he was an evil person, what else did he not dare to do?
She slowly drank his tea and then slowly changed her clothes. Ye Sujian was always at his side waiting to serve him, kneeling at his feet helping him to wear his shoes, tidying up her robes, and standing up to put on his gold crown and tassels with gold beads hanging from each of her ears.
"Then let Brightmoon accompany you to the palace today."
"Your Highness, can I go? I've missed my aunt. " Ye Sujian asked softly after hesitating for a moment. She had an aunt who had been married to the Sixth Imperial Uncle as the secondary wife for more than ten years. Her position was neither too good nor too bad, and she could be considered to be having a good life.
"Yes." Yulixiao also did not look at her, he only asked the guard to come over and carry the wheelchair out.
Ye Sujian's face lit up and he quickly called for Ye Mingyue. The two of them followed Yulixiao to his carriage and rushed back to the palace.
The towering palace walls separated the Imperial Palace from the city gate. The red gates slowly opened and the guards all kneeled down, respectfully bowing to Yulixiao's carriage.
The horse carriage stopped right in front of the True Origin Palace. This was Yulixiao's unique treatment.
A few strong eunuchs bent over as they ran down the stairs and carefully carried Yulixiao off the carriage. They carried him up the stairs and entered the hall, with Ye Mingyue and Ye Sujian following behind him.
Inside the palace, there were more than twenty royal men discussing national affairs with Yu Tianqi. When they saw him bringing the two madams in, other than their royal uncle's generation, their peers and juniors all stood up and looked at him, cupping their fists in greeting.
After chatting for awhile, Yulixiao's wheelchair arrived at the bottom of the stage, he cupped his hands towards Yu Tianqi and asked them to push him to the side to sit down.
Very soon, the palace maid brought him some tea and set up some tea and fruit on his table.
"Royal Uncle, when are you going to teach me how to practice archery?" A little boy ran over and tugged at his sleeve.
"When you grow so tall." The corner of Yulixiao's mouth raised, he raised his hand and made a gesture.
The boy raised his head and looked up, disappointed. He loudly asked, "Then how long do I have to wait? I want to learn archery and martial arts from royal uncle. I also want to become a great general and fight against enemies for my country."
"Ha, Kai'er is truly ambitious. Duke Si, this number three is not that simple." Yu Tianqi pointed at the child smilingly, looking at a thin man who was sitting on the right side.
"Your Majesty is too kind. To be able to use the spear and stick all day long, you are just unwilling to study. You only have martial arts, so how can you not have any wisdom?" This subject is truly worried. " Duke Si smiled and said a few words to himself.
"Can't you swing the spear well?" Yulixiao looked over and asked coldly.
The atmosphere in the palace became cold for a short while. A man stood up and said with a smile, "Royal brother, don't mind it. Prince Si has no other intentions."
Yulixiao snorted, and lowered his head to drink the tea.
"Since royal brother has returned, it's as if he's a different person. No matter how angry he is, don't always come at us. We are not royal brother's punching bags." Another man stood up and looked at him accusingly.
"Haha …" Yulixiao laughed, he then looked at the people around him.
Everyone had different expressions on their faces. Some of them avoided his gaze, while others were glaring at him with a blank look.
He dusted off his sleeves, retracted his gaze, and took the book from Ye Mingyue's hands, focusing on reading by himself.
"Hmph, what a bad temper." The angry man sat down and went on complaining to the people around him.
Just as the atmosphere in the hall returned to normal, suddenly, a sharp whistling sound could be heard from the roof of the hall. Those with martial arts skills immediately had a drastic change in expression as they called out for guards to stand up to avoid the concealed weapons that were shooting from the roof.
Ye Mingyue and Ye Sujian screamed as they fell to the ground. Yulixiao and Yu Tianqi leapt up at almost the same time, Yulixiao kicked over the table, blocking Ye Mingyue and Ye Sujian. Yulixiao pounced on Yu Tianqi, with his palms seemingly ruthless and ruthless Spirit Snatching Claw, he fiercely grabbed towards Yu Tianqi's throat, the killing intent in his eyes could turn everything into ashes.
When he rushed to Yu Tianqi's side, suddenly, an iron cage fell from the sky, and threw Yu Tianqi inside. Yulixiao's palm forcefully grabbed onto it, and the iron pillar that was as thick as two fingers was forcefully pulled apart by him.
"Yulixiao, you dare to kill a monarch!"
Seeing that, everyone shouted out loudly, and pounced at Yulixiao. Eighteen different types of weapons, as if they were playing a trick on him, came out from their hands, ready to fall into his trap.
The guards rushed in, wielding their swords, they surrounded Yulixiao.
He stood there with both legs steady, causing everyone to cry out in alarm.
"Yulixiao, you actually bully the monarch!"
Yulixiao laughed, extended his hand, and pulled down the hood, revealing a head of green hair that cascaded down like a waterfall. His handsome face was like jade, and the pair of black eyes that carried a domineering aura that could swallow the heavens, proudly swept over everyone.
Yu Tianqi sat back on the dragon throne, stared at him and said softly: "Your legs are not crippled, why have you been hiding this from us?"
"What do you think?" With one hand behind his back, Yulixiao walked forward slowly.
The guards stood in front of him with their sabers drawn, staring at him nervously. Yulixiao's martial arts were superb, they did not dare to be negligent, and surrounded him with all their might, afraid that any slip up, would cause their own lives to be destroyed.
"There's no need for the Emperor to say anything more to him." Empress Dowager Fu's sharp voice came from behind him, throwing a book out of the cage.
Yulixiao looked down. That was his record.
"Yu Yan gave this record to This Dowager, This Dowager knew that your leg had recovered long ago, and had recovered half a year ago. Yet, you feigned illness in front of everyone just so that today, you could assassinate the Emperor."
"So, all of you intentionally sent this king a message saying that today you all intend to kill this king and tempt him to take action?" Yulixiao chuckled, he dusted off his sleeves again and remained calm and composed, as though he was talking about family matters.
Within the palace, doors and windows were tightly shut, blocking out the bright sunlight outside. Only the weapons within the palace shone with a cold light, emitting a faint killing intent and coldness.
Yulixiao looked around, his lips curled up slightly, his gaze returned to the iron dragon, and said: "If there were no people from this king, I am afraid that the emperor would have already arranged an assassin to frame this king, if not, he would really kill this king here."
The hall was silent again.
Yu Tianqi sat upright on the dragon throne, and looked coldly at the man who had made him live in shadow since he was young, an arrogant man to the point where he was unable to breathe.
A mountain cannot hold two tigers, and a sea cannot hold two dragons; Yulixiao should not still be alive! The brotherly affection he had for Yulixiao vanished like smoke into thin air the moment he knew that Yulixiao had hidden the truth. What he had was only the Emperor's desire to control the whole world and the power of the royal family.
Yu Tianqi felt that he was an enlightened ruler, but Yulixiao was much more brutal. He would never give the world to Yulixiao!
The two brothers looked at each other for a moment, only to see Yulixiao smiling, and continuing to walk slowly.
The guards did not receive Yu Tianqi's order, they only used their sharp blades to block in front of him and followed him. And in the eyes of the onlookers, how was it possible that these people wanted to stop Yulixiao? They were obviously forced to retreat by him.
It was only until he reached in front of the iron cage that Yulixiao reached out his right hand, bent his finger, and lightly flicked the iron cage.
Yulixiao laughed, his eyes filled with a teasing light. He held up the finger he had flicked past the iron cage with, and with his thick eyelashes drooping, he said indifferently, "The empress dowager is still as timid as ever, she has already settled herself under the heavens and controlled her puppets, yet she has not advanced at all. She still wants to play some small tricks."
His arrogance was not something that would be restrained at any time, because he had the qualifications to do so!
However, his words were exceptionally ear-piercing to Yu Tianqi and Empress Dowager Fu Ye's ears.
"Yulixiao, don't try to sow dissension. This humble one will assist the emperor and do his best, the only wish in my heart is that our Houqing Kingdom will always prosper and the four seas will always be present. Who do you think you, Yulixiao, are? "He's just a rebel."
"Anti-thief …" Yulixiao started to laugh lowly. His black eyes lit up as he stared at the two people in the iron cage and said in a deep voice, "I'm really sorry. This king is the villain."
Chattering could be heard from the hall. Yu Tianqi and Empress Dowager Fu Ye did not know what he meant and only stared at him.
It's a pity that the Ninth Prince of the Great Mo Kingdom is planning to ascend the throne. He wanted to reach an agreement with this duke that he would help this king take over the Twelve northern cities, and this king would help him ascend the throne. Let this duke think about it. Oh, right, tomorrow at dawn, when the Ninth Prince will put on the Dragon Robe and become the new owner of the Tianmo Kingdom, let this duke guess whether or not I will need a month, twenty days, or ten days … Seize the entire Houqing Kingdom? Killed you and your son? "
The hall was so silent that not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
Yu Tianqi suddenly stood up, his face suddenly turning green.
Yulixiao walked in boldly despite knowing that there were traps. He was here to demonstrate and declare war!
He thought that the valiant soldiers would not be able to help Yulixiao, but he actually helped Yulixiao move all of his valiant soldiers to the Twelve northern cities to defend the city on Yulixiao's behalf.
Once the twelve northern cities fell into his hands, he would be able to cut off Houqing Kingdom's granary and transport. In other words, he would be able to cut off the Houqing Kingdom at his waist, leaving behind the twenty southern cities of the flashy Houqing Kingdom.
These twenty cities were all around Houqing Kingdom and were under the direct control of Empress Dowager Fu and Zhao Taizhu. Every day, they would extort money from the citizens and let the imperial government increase their ranks. The 20 cities weren't comparable to the vast territories of the 12 cities, nor were they comparable to the 12 cities' fat and strong horses!
Yulixiao looked at the ashen faces of Empress Dowager Fu Ye and Yu Tianqi with satisfaction, then chuckled and said, "Let me guess, is Yu Yan in your hands? Do you want to use her to threaten me? Maybe I will put down the butcher knife for her and let your mother and son live. "
"Yulixiao, don't be complacent! "She is in our hands. If you don't surrender, I will immediately kill her."
Her sharp golden fingers gripped the dragon's body on the throne tightly as she pointed at Yulixiao with her other hand, berating him harshly.
"Alright, you're betraying This King's woman. Don't let her die too quickly … I'm afraid there are some people who are reluctant to part with it. "
Yulixiao laughed lowly, he turned his face to the side and looked at the medicine book on the ground.
Empress Dowager Furong originally wanted to strike a blow at him, but her good chess skills were thrown into disarray. Her face was red, green, green, white, and extremely unsightly.
"Yulixiao, what do you want?"
Yu Tianqi clenched his teeth, the veins on his temples bulged, and his eyes started to fill with scarlet red veins.
"Yu Yan will give this king. In a month, we will have a duel in the battlefield. Whether we live or die, will depend on our own fate."
