At midnight, the Prince Zhan on the bed woke up on time. Prince Zhan rubbed his head weakly and sat up slowly. He suddenly felt a little pain in his waist and became suspicious. He lowered his head and thought deeply, but suddenly felt his body turning green and purple, as if … Bite mark?
Prince Zhan pondered over and over again, but he actually did not have any impression of it. Slowly, Prince Zhan stood up and realized why it seemed like his house had been robbed.
The Dark Guard who was on duty came in and asked. The Dark Guard discovered the bite marks on Prince Zhan's neck and was extremely surprised, but did not dare express any emotions.
Prince Zhan's expression and tone of voice were calm and cold, "Did anyone enter my room tonight?"
The dark guard frowned, wondering which scene the Prince was singing. Both of them were already on fire, and now they were asking him if someone had entered his room? Was he confirming that the person was Miss Nangong? Or was there someone else who had also entered the dorm?
Prince Zhan was annoyed when he saw the hidden guard's hesitant appearance. He raised his eyes and looked at the hidden guard sternly, then asked again with a solemn tone, "Who entered my room tonight?"
The hidden guard was suppressed by the Prince Zhan and trembled a little, but he still replied in a well-trained manner, "Reporting to Your Highness, after you and Miss Nangong entered the dorm, no one else came in."
The Prince Zhan seemed to be deep in thought, he looked around the room, and the guard immediately explained, "It was Miss Nangong who carried eight bags and swept away all the valuables in the prince's room."
Prince Zhan weakly pressed on his temple, "What happened?" Prince Zhan thought about it, but there was no memory of it.
At dawn, the Prince Zhan's Mansion and the Imperial Palace received a secret report at almost the same time. A few cities on the northwest border suffered calamities at the same time.
Some said that the natives of the Northwest Shangjing were different from the natives of the Shangjing, so how could they be willing to be ruled by outsiders? Only by fighting with all one's might would one be able to increase the prestige of their clan.
There were also some people who said that the northwest border was quite far away from Shangjing City. The emperor of Tian Sheng was uninterested in the economic development of the northwest, causing the northwest border to lag behind Shangjing City like this.
In short, all the rumours were encouraging the local people to stand up for themselves. The local people were bewitched, and they all stood up to revolt.
Prince Zhan looked at the secret letter and frowned.
Only two years ago, Ye Bai had come to the Tian Sheng and his primordial spirit and new body needed to be completely fused to cultivate at a high level. It was not convenient for Ye Bai to act beside the emperor and the empress dowager, and it was a perfect opportunity for him to act.
That battle had lasted for eight years, and this battle had left a deep impression on the entire Tian Sheng. But no one knew that Prince Zhan had dragged this battle out for only eight years.
In order to buy himself more time to cultivate, Prince Zhan had only played with them for eight years.
He already had someone in his heart, and Nangong Waner had yet to fall in love with him. He did not want to be too far away from Shangjing City to play with him.
At a quarter past ten, Zi Ye was waiting outside the room. "Your Highness, the Emperor has something important to discuss with you. The eunuch who sent the message from the palace is already waiting in the front hall. Would you like to meet him?"
"There's no need. Clean up and follow me into the palace to meet the emperor."
"Yes!" Zi Ye respectfully answered before leaving.
At this moment, the emperor was extremely anxious. The secret letter in his hand was somewhat heavy on the surface. When the Emperor saw the Prince Zhan walk in, the heavy expression on his face finally eased a little.
"Brother Han, something went wrong at the northwest border. Several cities rebelled, and more or less innocent people were displaced. They didn't even have enough time to calm down before they once again returned to the flames of war. This is the secret letter I received this morning. The emperor's face was somewhat haggard, but it was rare for him to be very serious. He passed the secret letter in his hand to Prince Zhan, and even though Prince Zhan already knew the contents, he still received it and quickly scanned through it.
At that time, Immortal Lord Ye Bai accepted Prince Zhan's body with the help of Immortal Doctor Gu Qianmo. Before Prince Zhan passed away, he hoped that Immortal Lord Ye Bai could fulfill his wish and protect Tian Sheng's river and mountains.
Ye Bai thought that the Prince Zhan had the feeling of duty as a son of the royal family. The moment he entered his body, he inherited a part of the deepest memories of the Prince Zhan. Gradually, his cold personality had a bit of a sense of mission. He wasn't perfunctory, he had indeed used some snacks to protect the peace of Tian Sheng.
Of course, there was a part of the Emperor's heart that made him more attentive. In private, the emperor was very affectionate with him. In the imperial court, the emperor carried out benevolent government and loved the people of the world.
After the Emperor ascended to the throne, he adopted the policy of recuperating. He would rather let go of the remnants of the previous dynasty than stop hanging and killing ordinary people.
As the Immortal Lord, he had always been a kind and loving person. Ye Bai was very appreciative of the Emperor's political tactics.
As the Prince Zhan, Ye Bai became more and more willing, he became more willing, because he swore that in this life, he would be the Prince Zhan, guarding the rivers and mountains for the Tian Sheng, and expanding his territory.
"I will personally go to the northwest border to settle this matter. The emperor need not worry, but you can give me two days to prepare. I will set off from the city gate two days later at dawn."
Hearing Prince Zhan's words, the Emperor finally heaved a sigh of relief. The Emperor also felt that Prince Zhan had repeatedly saved him from danger and was truly touched. He hugged Prince Zhan and was about to cry in a complete mess when Prince Zhan pushed him away in disgust.
"Oh right, two days later would be the birthday of Prime Minister Qin Ruxue. You can leave after three days, after all, you have to go and participate in Qin Ruxue's eighteenth birthday banquet." The Emperor suddenly thought of something and said to the Prince Zhan.
The Prince Zhan raised his eyes to look at the emperor. "Why would I want to participate in Qin Ruxue's eighteen-year-old birthday banquet?"
Hearing the Prince Zhan's words, the emperor speechlessly stroked his chin. "Didn't you forget that when Qin Ruxue was sixteen years old, the empress dowager publicly asked us for an imperial edict at her birthday banquet? She wanted to give you that Qin Ruxue as a wedding gift." The Emperor looked at Prince Zhan in amusement, trying to see the changes in his expression.
Indeed, there was a change in Prince Zhan's cold face. Prince Zhan raised his eyebrows, "There was such a thing?"
The emperor almost threw himself on the ground. "Many officials know about this, how could you not know?" You were on the field. You can leave three days later. At least give the empress dowager an explanation. "
"Two days later, I will set off from the city gate." Prince Zhan threw down his words and left.
"You … Aren't you going to explain things to the Empress Dowager? " The Emperor hurriedly said from behind as he watched Prince Zhan's figure gradually grow further away.
"Your Majesty will naturally relieve This King of his worries." Prince Zhan suddenly stopped, turned around and smiled slyly at the Emperor, then left without even turning back.
"You brat …" "Just you wait …" The emperor couldn't help but roll his eyes.
