After leaving Master Dugu's cave, Han Feng rushed all the way to the front mountain, planning to set off directly to the Beiyuan Forest.

But before that, he first went to find Wu Yufeng.

When she saw Han Feng coming, Wu Yufeng knew the reason for his visit, and immediately placed thousands of huazi wrapped in them in front of Han Feng.

Han Feng was overjoyed when he saw this and expressed his gratitude again and again.

The Huazi made by Wu Yufeng last time had already been finished by herself.

When he came back this time, he also took the time to make a batch of them, and he used his mental power to make them in batches.

However, even though it has the same ingredients and the same process, Korean style always feels that the taste is wrong.

After careful consideration, Han Feng finally concluded that the problem may be with his "legs"!

So at this moment, Han Feng picked up a piece of Huazi made by Wu Yufeng, lit it and held it in his mouth. He only took a sip and his eyes lit up.

There is also a hint of virgin fragrance in the burning aroma of the elixir, which tastes very wonderful.

"Hmm...that's what it smells like!"

Seeing Han Feng's intoxicated expression, Wu Yufeng couldn't help but blush.

After all, these balls were rolled up one by one on her thighs, but now the other party put them in his mouth in front of her, which made her feel somewhat strange.

Not long after, Han Feng thanked Wu Yufeng again and informed him that he was leaving the college to carry out his mission, so he bowed and left.

Yesterday, Han Feng had completed all the preparations, and he went directly to the "Spirit Beast Garden" outside Dan Pavilion.

I spent twenty merit points in the Spiritual Beast Park and rented a purple kite alone.

Han Feng skillfully controlled the Purple Land Kite, soared into the sky, and headed directly to the north of Tiannan Peak and towards the Beiyuan Forest.

Entering the Beiyuan Forest this time, Han Feng planned to spend up to a month to complete all twelve five-star tasks.

Once you have earned enough merit points, you can return to the academy to practice in seclusion.

…

As Han Feng has just set off.

Some people have already reached their "destination".

In the southeast of the Qianlan Empire, the throat of the country, the imperial capital "Qiancheng" where the true dragon's energy gathers!

This giant city, which was the center of all power and culture in the Qianlan Empire, including politics, military, humanities, etc., has endured for thousands of years, and its significance can no longer be measured by a single city.

This is the "heart" of the entire Qianlan Empire and the "soul" of this country.

Qiancheng is majestic and majestic, and the Golden City is thousands of miles away. Its majesty and majesty are unparalleled by any city in the country.

And the royal palace in the center of this giant city is the highest symbol of the empire's authority.

At this moment, in this magnificent Jade Tower and Golden Pavilion, several figures entered from the palace gate, walked along the royal road, crossed the water bridge, and passed through the three palaces...

When they arrived at the entrance of the harem, only two people were allowed to leave. They were led by the palace servants to the southeast of the harem, outside a square pavilion with an elegant environment and deep greenery.

Outside the attic door, in addition to several chamberlains, there were eight guards covered in golden armor, standing motionless outside the building, like sculptures.

The eyes of these guards seemed dull, but they glowed with a chilling light.

Whenever someone comes close to the pavilion, these eyes will be like sharp knives piercing the bones, which is horrifying.

The people who were led here were an old man and a young man.

The young man is dressed in a purple forest python robe and a jade crown, neat and solemn. The old man beside him has gray hair and is dressed in eunuch clothes.

At this moment, both of them looked like they were tired of their travels. It was obvious that they had traveled a long way and came here without any time to rest.

Not daring to cross the threshold, he stepped directly into the pavilion. The young man in python robes and the old eunuch kowtowed at the door of the palace.

"My son, Zhu Hongyu, pays homage to my father!"

It turned out that these two people were the Crown Prince Zhu Hongyu and the East Palace Attendant Li Wei who had returned to the imperial capital from Beiyang City.

As the prince bowed and bowed, a chamberlain entered the royal study and came out after a while to preach.

"Prince Xuan entered the imperial study to pay an audience."

Zhu Hongyu did not dare to neglect. He stood up and patted the dust on his knees before stepping into the door of the royal study.

He walked all the way again and entered the inner room of the Royal Study. After opening the curtain, he finally saw someone.

Behind a broad bookcase carved with dragons and phoenixes, a middle-aged man was sitting on a golden dragon chair, flipping through a thick classic in his hands.

This middle-aged man looks to be about thirty or forty years old. He is wearing an ocher yellow robe. He has a tall figure and a slightly thin face. His appearance is not handsome, and his facial features can only be described as straight.

At first glance, this person seems unremarkable, even the same as a teacher in a private school.

But if you take a closer look at the ray of light flashing in the middle of this person's eyes when he is quietly looking at the book, you will be invisibly shocked and feel an overwhelming pressure.

Zhu Hongyu was in awe of the ordinary-looking middle-aged man before the case, as if he were seeing a being from heaven!

Because he is the current sage "Martial Emperor" Zhu Yuanzhen, a "ruthless emperor" who overthrows the imperial royal family and reaches the ninth level as the fifth prince!

Facing his father, Zhu Hongyu did not dare to be rude at all, and immediately knelt down on his knees and kowtowed.

"My son has met my father."

Regarding Zhu Hongyu's obeisance, His Majesty the Emperor in front of the case seemed not to hear it and continued to reach out and flip through the books in his hand.

In response to this, Prince Zhu Hongyu not only did not dare to show any hesitation, but instead felt anxious in his heart, sweating on his forehead, and actually felt an inexplicable fear.

He knew very well that his father, under his seemingly peaceful and gentle appearance, had deep imperial intentions and iron-blooded methods.

Even as the prince, he did not dare to make any mistakes or rely on him.

He kept his kneeling posture like this, motionless, for a whole stick of incense.

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhen slowly closed the book.

As soon as he raised his hand, standing next to him, a round-faced old eunuch with white beard and white hair and a childlike face quickly stepped forward and bowed to take the book.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhen raised his eyes and looked at the prince Zhu Hongyu who was kneeling in front of the desk.

"Get up."

Zhu Yuanzhen's voice was deep and straight, with no hint of joy or anger.

When Zhu Hongyu heard this, his body trembled slightly, and then he stood up carefully to thank him and stood with a bow.

After another brief silence, Zhu Yuanzhen glanced at Zhu Hongyu, who was covered in dust, and said.

"The prince has returned from a long journey, why don't you take a rest for the night and come see me again."

The prince hurriedly bowed and said.

"My son was so frightened that he did not dare to delay for a moment, so he came here to report his experience of this trip to his father."

Zhu Yuanzhen nodded slightly, but still couldn't see the slightest fluctuation in his eyes, and just said calmly.

"In that case, you should go through the road on this journey.

I’m listening.”

Zhu Hongyu hurriedly bowed again. Before coming here, he had already prepared a draft. He then roughly recounted his experience of traveling from south to north and then all the way to the imperial capital.

After saying that, he anxiously waited for his father's reaction.

Zhu Yuanzhen just pondered for a moment and then said.

"In other words, the Eye of Dongxu has been completely lost."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Hongyu felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"My son is incompetent. He originally discovered the whereabouts of the Eye of Dongxu in Beiyang City, but...an accident happened in the end and failed to recapture this treasure. I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Zhu Hongyu knew that the Eye of Dongxu was of great importance. Even though his father had already acquiesced in handing this thing over to him, his crime of losing such a treasure was also very serious.

Seeing Zhu Hongyu take the initiative to accept the crime, Zhu Yuanzhen nodded.

"The Eye of Dongxu is the most powerful magical power of the Dongxu Divine Beast, and it is also a precious trophy that Master Dugu won at the expense of seriously injuring himself. You have lost this object. It is really a big sin.

Since you take the initiative to plead guilty, I will punish you with three years of salary in the East Palace, and your chariot and chariot will be demoted one level.

In addition, three days later, I will preside over the grand ceremony for the kingship of Marshal Dugu. Before that, I order you to stand outside the gate of Marshal Dugu's mansion and bear a thorn to plead guilty until you are forgiven by him."

After hearing this, Zhu Hongyu, who had already thought of various severe punishments from his father, could not help but be stunned on the spot.

Is this punishment for yourself?

Just a fine of severance, a chariot, and an apology from the King of Zhennan seemed to be severe punishments, but in fact they were all just symbolic punishments, and he did not waver in his position as the crown prince at all.

Seeing that Zhu Hongyu was speechless, Zhu Yuan responded calmly.

"Why, you haven't accepted the punishment yet. Do you have objections to my decision?"

Zhu Hongyu was shocked and hurriedly kowtowed.

"My son, I thank my father for his kindness, and he will be punished according to the decree!"

Zhu Yuanzhen nodded and said.

"Okay, get up."
