Four fallen guards stood up, and the other four guards also stood up and joined the battle. The eight of them lined up in a row, their palms were moving, and just as they were about to attack Bu Batian at the same time.
Stop!" With a shout, he stopped the attacks of the imperial guards in time. Looking towards the direction of the voice, there was a young man holding a jade talisman. The jade talisman was as transparent as a divine object, and on top of it was an emerald colored transparent spiritual bead. "His face was pale, his body was long, and his handsome face gave off a sickly look of weakness. However, his ethereal eyes were mysterious and intimidating. His lips curled up in a sinister sneer.
In particular, the mysteriousness of the jade token was even more intimidating.
When the imperial guards saw the newcomer, their expressions became extremely respectful. They obediently stood to the side and put down their sabers.
"Hur Hur Hur!" That person walked over slowly while sneering. Although he was smiling, there was no trace of a smile on his pale face, making people's hair stand on end.
"Every step you take is amazing!" This Bai has really broadened my horizons today! " That person walked up to Bu Batian and stopped right in front of him. His cold voice was filled with praise.
"Bai Ling? What are you doing here? " When Bu Batian saw this person, his expression became even more serious. However, his powerful voice did not weaken in the slightest and remained as domineering as before.
Bai Ling was indeed just like her name. She was a white ghost. Bu Jinghua thought to himself. Who knew that he would attract Bai Ling's attention? His eyes swept across Bu Jinghua. It was as if a mysterious force had swept over her, causing people to panic.
Bai Ling smiled coldly. She did not answer Bu Batian's words. Instead, she turned her gaze towards the imperial guards.
"A bunch of useless bums!" "The emperor wants you to invite old man Bu and Miss Bu back. Is there a need for you two to invite them back like this?" His voice was cold as he reprimanded.
The imperial guards all knelt down with their heads hanging down, looking as if they had committed a grave mistake.
"This subordinate knows his crimes, please punish him!" Such training was much better than the guards on television.
"Master Bu, Miss Bu, please!" Ignoring the imperial guards, Bai Ling spoke to Bu Batian and Bu Jinghua.
Bu Batian looked at the man in front of him. His eyes, which were filled with experience, darkened as he walked toward Bu Jinghua and pulled his hand, saying, "Jinghua, let's go. Grandfather will take you to the Stone Palace!" After he finished speaking, he pulled Bu Jinghua to the front.
Behind him followed Hundred Spirit and the ten Royal Guards.
After this battle, Bu Jinghua understood even more clearly that as long as his grandfather was around, she was safe.
Along the way, there were many people who were pointing fingers at Bu Jinghua and talking about it. They secretly looked at their grandpa's face with the same calm expression. However, his slightly twitching mouth revealed that Bu Jinghua was angry. Sensing the gaze, Bu Batian turned to look at Bu Jinghua.
Bu Jinghua glanced back at her. There was not a single trace of cowardice in her gaze. She had never done anything before, so why should she be afraid? Even if she did do it, it would not be her turn to be blamed.
Bu Jinghua seemed a little surprised when he saw the calmness on Bu Jinghua's face. However, soon after, his intense anger disappeared and was replaced with a faint smile.
After following Bai Ling, they soon entered the stone palace, which was where the emperor lived. The splendor of this palace could even be compared to the Bu Clan. Even though the Bu Clan was as wealthy as an entire country, they were still inferior in terms of construction compared to the Cliff Palace.
There were many buildings and gardens in the Cliff Palace, especially the long corridors, which were close to the mountain and the river. It was quite interesting.
Right at that moment, a football-like object flew over in front of Bu Jinghua. Just as Bu Jinghua was about to dodge, he saw Bai Ling gently raise the jade talisman in her hand. With just a slight touch, the ball fell down like a soft persimmon.
"Yo, so it actually flew here. I'm really afraid of being startled by it, okay!" A blue-clothed youth ran out and picked up the ball on the ground. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Bu Jinghua and the others with a surprised expression, "Oh, so it's the Imperial Advisor! It's you, hmph, Fourth Bro is in such a miserable state. Fourth Bro is already like that, and you still dare to do that kind of thing to him? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? But now, not only do you have nightmares, you're also afraid of women. Hmph, I really don't know how you mistreated him, you shameless woman, I will avenge Fourth Brother! " As he said this, his eyes turned red. He raised the ball in his hand and aimed it at Bu Jinghua's face, as if he was about to smash Bu Jinghua to death.
"Seventh Prince, the Emperor has made his own decision regarding this matter. Seventh Prince, please don't mess around!" Bai Ling coldly said. The Seventh Prince immediately stopped and cursed. He threw the ball to the ground and walked away.
He was the youngest prince, the emperor didn't have a daughter, only seven princes. The eldest prince, who was the crown prince, had mysteriously died and the position of crown prince was now empty.
Staring at that furious back, Bu Jinghua was puzzled. Why didn't they make her understand them at all? "It was as if she had violated a very poor human being." "That?" What is it? She didn't notice anything strange about that man even when she was inside the stone house. She was a good person, good-looking and intelligent, but apart from crying at the sight of the empress, she felt everything about him was normal. For some reason, the one who suffered was her, alright? Why did everyone feel pity for that stinking man who abandoned her to face the punishment alone after picking up a bargain?
Fourth Prince? Longyan, I heard he's a fool. I heard he was disfigured. Of course, everything was just hearsay. Even the former Bu Jinghua hadn't seen Long Yan once. Long Yan rarely went out, and even if he did, it would be very secret. Therefore, this was the first time Bu Jinghua saw Long Yan in the stone house. However, she didn't think he was ugly or silly!
Just as Bu Jinghua was about to roar out in anger, Bai Ling's "please" echoed her doubts and they continued onward.
In a short while, they arrived at the emperor's meeting room, Golden Rock Hall. The pillars of such a large palace were actually amethyst profound stones which were similar to crystals.
Right in front of the crystal clear table opposite the palace entrance sat a middle-aged man who was faking sleep. The man's left hand rested on the leather book on the table, while his right hand rested on his cheek, as if he was sleeping.
The middle-aged man wore a golden embroidered dragon robe and a golden dragon crown. He gave off a sacred and inviolable aura. Needless to say, this person should be the emperor.
Just as Bu Jinghua was thinking about this, Bai Ling called out, "Your majesty, the person has been brought over! "Your Majesty …" Bai Ling called out again. The person who was sleeping was alarmed and raised his head slowly. He looked to be in a bad mood.
"This commoner pays his respects to the Emperor!" Bu Batian cupped his hands and bowed. He did not kneel down like the others; it was evident that he was of extraordinary status.
"Hahaha, Master Bu, please get up!" The emperor came over with a welcoming look.
"Your majesty, why have you brought this commoner here?" Bu Batian stood with his hands behind his back. His momentum did not lose to the current emperor at all.
"Master Bu, you must have heard about your granddaughter too! I think you should give me an explanation for this matter! " Suddenly, the Emperor's tone changed. It was so low that it gave off a great pressure.
"An explanation?" I thought the emperor called this old man here today to give me an explanation, but now you're actually so thick-skinned, actually changing right from wrong to wrong. "Today, if you do not return my innocence, hmph, I, Bu Batian, will be the first to disagree." Bu Batian's momentum did not decrease but instead increased. He would not be weaker than the other party just because the other party was a high and mighty emperor.
"Hmph, Master Bu, you should know what kind of person the fourth prince is. What kind of thing do you think a fool would do to your granddaughter? Besides, I have human evidence on this matter. I won't allow you to deny it. "
Idiot? Another fool? How is this possible? How could a fool speak in such a orderly manner? How could a fool be so calm and secluded? You must be mistaken.
This was completely at odds with the truth.
"You …" This time, Bu Batian was at a loss for words. If he had the witness and evidence, then he would be guilty of a crime.
"Bu Jinghua, right!" Seeing that Bu Batian had finished his sentence, the emperor complacently smiled and immediately cast his gaze toward Bu Jinghua who was standing next to Bu Batian.
Bu Jinghua looked back at him, but did not answer, nor did he flinch, despite the intimidating majesty of his eyes. However, she felt that her eyes were even more frightening and cold than his.
"Ha ha!" He smiled again, and then said slowly, "How did you design the dragon core to come to the stone house? Why aren't you telling the truth!" His tone dropped again, with an unquestionable tone of command. His gaze towards Bu Jinghua became even more frightening, as if he was going to eat Bu Jinghua.
"If you want to add to your crimes, why bother saying so? Your Majesty, I presume you don't want to believe me when I say that I was framed? "Since that's the case, why do you need to ask?" A "don't want to believe" was enough to prove that this was a conspiracy, and that this conspiracy had nothing to do with the emperor in front of him.
Hmph, do you still think that she is the useless little girl from before who can only think of things as a small matter and be bullied by others? What a joke, she was a mature woman who had been through hundreds of battles.
Bu Jinghua coldly laughed and replied in the same low voice.
Everyone was startled by this reply. Six pairs of eyes looked at her as if she had said something terrible.
Bu Batian's mouth was slightly agape, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground from the shock. His eyes were staring at Bu Jinghua, almost staring her into the hole.
Could it be that she had made a huge contrast and aroused Bu Batian's suspicions? If he knew that his granddaughter was dead and that the one speaking now was another spirit body instead of his own, what kind of reaction would he have? It was hard to imagine.
Bu Jinghua was flustered. If he had known this would happen, he would not have acted so calm and wise.
Bu Jinghua was sighing with emotion. He didn't expect Bu Batian to heavily pat her shoulder and then look at her with a gratified expression. She was so excited that tears were almost flowing out. She said, "Jinghua, good job. I believe in you!"
With such a simple sentence, Bu Jinghua felt an indescribable sense of loss and disappointment. He never would have thought that the feelings of someone supporting him and someone believing him would be so blissful.
"Grandpa …" Bu Jinghua lightly called out. At this moment, he treated the old man in front of him as a relative and she was his granddaughter, Bu Jinghua.
"Hmph, good, good! So young yet you have the guts to act like you don't deserve it. Good, good, as expected of a member of the Bu Family!" The emperor clapped his hands in 'praise' as he spoke. He scanned Bu Jinghua with his pair of murderous eyes and said, "Grandpa Bu tried to shield him, but the eyes of the crowd are bright. Come! Bring in the witness card. "
With this shout, it seemed as if they had long since been prepared, and these so called witnesses and evidence were immediately brought up by the eunuchs.
The one walking in front is the 'victim', the fourth prince, Long Yan. He lowered his head, his eyes like a wounded rabbit, uneasily sweeping his surroundings. When his gaze landed on Bu Jinghua, he unexpectedly flinched as if he had seen a ghost. He even cried out in fear," Wuu, move, don't come over here, wuu, don't take off my clothes, wuu … " That crazy and crazy look was no different from a fool.
"Yan'er, don't be afraid. With royal father here, no one will dare hurt you. Come here!" After the Emperor spoke, Long Yan calmed down a bit. He quickly walked over and hid behind the Emperor, secretly guarding against Bu Jinghua as if she were a hungry wolf ready to eat him at any time.
Bu Jinghua stared blankly at this person's superb acting and almost choked on his own saliva.
Who was the first to rush over? Who was it that held her down? And who was the one who called it overturning the heavens and turning the earth upside down? Now she was pretending to be pure and pitiful, but she was still crying.
Bu Jinghua swallowed his saliva with difficulty and continued to remain silent.
But why was it strange to see his right cheek? She felt that he had never dared to use his right cheek to face her. In the stone house, it was the same here. His left cheek was so handsome, so his right cheek shouldn't be too bad!
Bu Jinghua wanted to stretch out his head and take a closer look, but intentionally or unintentionally, he was covered.
The next thing that was brought up was the blue brocade robe that was torn apart in the stone house, as well as the intact pinkish-purple dress.
Following that was the Queen, Second Aunt, Bu Jingfeng, Long Yun, and Little Ju. They were also the five people who witnessed the situation inside the stone house with their own eyes.
Good, good, good. Now that everyone is here, let's see how you guys will slander her. She's waiting for us. When she was on her way to the moon, she was covered her mouth with a towel. She could only recall after she woke up in the stone house, thinking that Bu Jinghua must have died because of too many drugs. If she wasn't reborn, then she would have to account for Bu Zhentian.
Glancing coldly at those people, Bu Jinghua secretly thought, "This emperor spent so much effort to condemn me and yet didn't directly cut me down. He was waiting for grandpa to come back before capturing me." It shouldn't be my life anyway, so I'll just quietly wait for the show.
