Xuanyuan Xinglie glanced at the spacious square of the imperial study with a pair of tiger eyes. His unruffled and majestic aura caused a large number of imperial guards to kneel on the ground. The imperial guards remained silent, not even daring to take a big breath.
At this moment when no one dared to speak, Xuanyuan Aochu stumbled over.
Xuanyuan Aochu looked as if he had fallen into a mud ditch. There was no clean spot on his body. There were a few half-rotten rotten leaves on his head. His clothes had long outgrown their previous splendor and were dripping with wet and turbid sewage.
His face was stained with fingerprints, probably because he had rubbed it with his hands.
Xuanyuan Aochu ran in front of Xuanyuan Xinglie from a distance. He knelt down straight and then looked at Xuanyuan Xinglie worriedly: "Father, are you okay... You were not hurt by the assassin, right... Where is the assassin?
?Where is the assassin? If he dares to assassinate his father, he will be cut into pieces by his subordinates..."
"What are you doing looking like this?" To say that Xuanyuan Aochu ran all the way, Xuanyuan Xinglie really didn't recognize him as his son. He didn't know until Xuanyuan Aochu knelt down and spoke.
Suddenly he discovered that this clay figurine was Xuanyuan Aochu.
"My son... my son..." Xuanyuan Aochu couldn't say that he wanted to be with Nangong Ye in front of the snowflakes under the moon, but because of the flying rocks, he accidentally slipped and fell into the smelly pond.
The little eyes rolled, Xuan
Yuan Aochu said: "My father and his sons heard the sound of assassins and rushed over first. Because it was too dark and my sons were too worried about their father's safety, they ran too fast, so they accidentally made a mistake.
Fell... fell into the water..."
Xuanyuan Xinglie did not believe Xuanyuan Aochu's words that were full of flaws. He only frowned: "All the knowledge that the Tutor gave you has been fed to the dogs. How can a person who has achieved great things be so panicked that he falls into a pond in such a panic?"
Go inside. Look at your miserable appearance. It really brings disgrace to the royal family. What are you doing kneeling down? Go back and change your clothes quickly."
Xuanyuan Aochu didn't hear the dissatisfaction in Xuanyuan Xinglie's words, but he felt guilty, so he glanced at Ye Xue from the corner of his eye. Seeing that Ye Xue didn't respond, he followed Xuanyuan Xinglie's instructions and went back to the palace to change clothes.
*****
As soon as Xuanyuan Aochu left, the atmosphere returned to the freezing point just now.
The chief eunuch took a look at Xuanyuan Xinglie's dark face. He walked aside and whispered to a few guards to tell them to inform Lafayette, the empress and other people in the harem that the emperor was fine, so they could rest assured.
The Imperial Guards got the order and ran away in an instant. The atmosphere here was too depressing.
The silver moonlight shines on the earth, and the flowers are blooming under the moon. Such a beautiful scenery makes the panic and uneasiness in the hearts of the people kneeling on the ground even more obvious.
That night, the imperial palace of the Qinglong Empire was brightly lit, and all the official residences in the imperial capital were in panic. They hurriedly put on their official uniforms and ran to the imperial study. The mighty and vying for the first place was a huge difference compared to the calm and steady people in the early morning court.
Don't.
Before the officials, the eldest prince Xuanyuan Aoyi arrived first, followed by the pale and sick-looking Xuanyuan Aotian and his slightly chubby younger brother Xuanyuan Aozhe, followed by Xuanyuan Aozhe who had changed his clothes.
Aochu,
The last one is the nerdy third prince Xuanyuan Aoshu.
Among the hundreds of officials, the fastest to arrive was Su Guogong, Nangong Wuming, the leader of the hundred officials.
