King Zhou looked at Yamazaki and said, "The old gentleman came to protect the Lord. I really admire him. I remember back in the past, the ancestor Lei Zhenzi escorted the ancestor back to Xiqi, so I can't help but want to see him."
Yamazaki kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I don't dare to compare myself with Lei Zu, and the little princess even dares not compare with my ancestors. Please take back your words."
The empress smiled lightly, "In private, there is no need to be polite."
"Otherwise," Yamazaki looked directly, "the great Zhou Dynasty ruled the country with etiquette and laws, and the ancestral etiquette and laws must be followed. What's more, Lei Ancestor is still alive, and the higher authority is in heaven. We mortals can only revere him and cannot make arbitrary comments."
King Zhou nodded, "Okay, I was wrong."
"Then please ask your Majesty to go to the ancestral temple later to offer incense, and ask your Majesty to enforce the family law on your empress, and then summon the clan elders for verification."
Yamazaki's words shocked everyone.
The empress turned pale with anger and trembled all over.
"I ask myself, I have no enmity or grudge against you, so why do you want to harm me?"
Yamazaki solemnly raised his hands and said, "I am really trying to save your majesty and your empress. But if you want to hear the details, please answer my question first."
"What your Majesty just said was a sudden thought of His Majesty, or has someone mentioned it to Your Majesty before?"
"ah?"
"It seems to be the latter. Then your Majesty, please immediately mobilize the imperial guards to seal the area. Anyone who comes or goes is not allowed to leave. Only in this way can you have time to listen to the villain's detailed explanation."
"Well……"
King Zhou was stunned, and many people were also stunned. They didn't understand why they wanted to go to war in such a big way.
Yamazaki could see that someone was nervous and his breathing changed.
"Your Majesty, it seems that it is too late. The Imperial Army needs to be mobilized immediately. If you are hesitant, you will put yourself in a desperate situation and harm others and yourself."
"It's not that I'm not decisive, it's just that the imperial guards have not been mobilized to the palace for thousands of years. I don't want to use them lightly, which is shocking to the world."
"In this case, please go to the ancestral temple immediately, so that this villain will not delay your majesty's important affairs. Your majesty will give you a generous gift. If this villain eats the emperor's salary, the cause and effect will be returned to your majesty, so that your majesty can take care of himself."
"Bold!" the guard commander shouted angrily.
"You little man, go." Yamazaki kowtowed again, and then fled away with Zhou Yanyu.
The guard commander immediately asked for instructions, "Your Majesty, this is the art of earth escape, do you want me to hunt it down?"
The empress held her heart high and said, "Your Majesty, I am very flustered right now. Could it be that something big is really going to happen?"
"If you love your concubine, be considerate, and I will take good care of your concubine."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Ya, Jingqing will go to the little princess's house right now."
Zhou Wenli paid homage and went there, but left without waiting for permission. It was obvious that the place was extraordinary.
"My father, my empress, and my sons and ministers will also go and have a look. I will report to my father later."
After the young master saluted and received approval, he left.
The two walked far away, each took out their escape talismans, and cast spells to go outside the city.
…
Princess's Mansion.
Yamazaki quickly packed up his things, threw them into the chess box, and took them away with him.
Just as he was about to leave, he found that both the princess and the young master had barged in.
As for the young master's robe, the servants did not dare to stop him and could only accompany him.
The princess shouted rudely: "Hey, what is going on? Why are you running?"
"It's fate that I meet you two. I can't harm you. It's better not to know than to know."
"ah?"
"The great Zhou Dynasty governed the country with benevolence and righteousness, and the etiquette and laws were passed down to the family. Nothing will happen to you two. However, it is hard to talk about the person involved here. Please say goodbye."
After Yamazaki finished speaking, he took Zhou Yanyu and escaped - if he didn't run away, it would be too late, leaving the two nobles confused.
At this time, a group of yellow-robed men descended from the sky.
The two of them were stunned. They were all elders of the Zhouji clan. What could happen to them?
"I've met all the clan elders!"
The two of them quickly dressed up and went to worship, but Princess Jingqing suddenly realized that she was still disguised as a man.
Princess Jingqing secretly complained that even the king would just smile at her outfit, but in front of these old stubborns, there was only one word - miserable!
All she could do was bow her head deeply, hoping for the one-in-a-million chance that they wouldn't recognize her.
"Is the mountain man here?"
"Reporting to the clan elders, the people in the mountains have just left."
"Huh, you're going so fast."
"What a clever guy."
"What guy? He is an old man who is as old as you and me."
"It seems that he is less than a hundred years old, but he is older than many of us."
"He walked very quickly, he was really decisive."
"That's what it means to be sophisticated."
"That's all. Although this matter started with him, it is not his fault. He is not far from the end of his life now. Let him fend for himself."
"That's right, then go back."
"go back."
Hearing this, Princess Jingqing just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but was met with a bolt from the blue.
"By the way, Xiao Jingqing, you don't dare to show off your arrogance. It seems that you also know that this dress is immodest."
I cautiously raised my head and looked again, only an old man was left.
Immediately step forward and twist your arms, acting coquettishly.
"Grandpa, my biological grandfather, please let me go. I will definitely change it next time. No, no, there will be no next time."
"Leave this to your great-grandfather. My old man will only arrest people."
"That's your grandson, and you still can't control him?"
"You're quite naughty. Okay, I didn't catch the mountain man, but if I catch you, it will be enough."
"ah……"
Princess Jingqing screamed and ran away quickly, she used the magical talisman.
No matter what, she can't be caught wearing this, otherwise Grandpa Zeng will definitely be so angry that she will be punished even more.
Even if I have to be punished, I have to change my clothes first.
"You don't know who to follow with this naughty temper." The old man stroked his beard and scolded with a smile.
The young master paid his respects and said, "Wen Ze has met His Highness the Prince. May I ask His Highness what happened today?"
The prince sighed: "Oh, it's such a pity that it's such a disaster."
Mr. Wenze was agitated and asked dizzily: "What a pity, what's a pity?"
"It doesn't matter, you have to know sooner or later." The prince sighed, "It's a pity that your father was so indecisive and missed the opportunity."
"That man in the mountain is indeed a man of great talent. He knows everything from one thing to another. He asked your father to plead guilty, which is really saving him and Concubine Ya."
Young Master Wenze tried to cheer up, "Just because of that joke?"
"You have nothing to say, my child."
"But that's in private!"
The prince scolded, "Private? You can't say anything, that's called private."
"In front of hundreds of palace maids and guards, you mean privately?"
"Do you know what clan and family those guards come from?"
"Do you know which prince or nobleman those palace maids and attendants are close to?"
"Do you know how many princes and ministers know your father's joke?"
"What do you think they're going to think? They're waiting."
"You have to understand that Da Zhou is not the Da Zhou of the Ji family, and Da Zhou is not the Da Zhou of one person."
Mr. Wenze suddenly sat down on the ground, "How could this be?"
The prince frowned and said, "Get up and don't lose your dignity. I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, govern the country with benevolence and righteousness, and pass down the etiquette and laws to the family. Even if your father is no longer the king, it has nothing to do with you and will not harm you. Don't worry.
