Chapter 616 616 Pampering, Entering the Palace Alone
Xiao Jiuan left. As the carriage drove towards the imperial city, he left quietly without alerting anyone. Not to mention the royal spies who secretly monitored them, not even the accompanying soldiers and Fei Xiaochai noticed Xiao Jiuan's departure.
Ji Yunkai sat alone in the carriage, eyes closed, leaning against the carriage...
Xiao Jiuan is gone, and she can only rely on her to do the next thing.
The carriage walked slowly and leisurely, approaching the city gate. The danger was relieved. Everyone relaxed and felt a little excited, especially Fei Xiaochai, who danced happily.
"I've been away for more than two months, and finally I'm back... I don't know if the boss misses me."
"I don't know how the boss is doing alone in the Feng family. Will those people from the Feng family bully the boss while I'm away?"
"Junior sister, junior sister... do you think the boss will come to pick us up at the city gate?"
"Junior sister, it seems we didn't bring a gift for the boss when we went out this time. Do you think the boss will be unhappy?"
Fei Xiaochai was so excited that he crowded beside the carriage and kept chattering. Ji Yunkai wanted to tell Fei Xiaochai to shut up.
She was having a headache and had no time to answer Fei Xiaochai's words, but...
Fei Xiaochai spoke one sentence after another very fast. She just couldn't find a chance to speak, so she could only let Fei Xiaochai's magic voice penetrate her brain.
Fortunately, they were very close to the city gate. Fei Xiaochai kept chanting for about a quarter of an hour before they entered the city.
The news of Xiao Jiu'an's entry into the city had long ago come back, and the city gate was full of people greeting them, but it was not Feng Qi, whom Fei Xiaochai was thinking about, but the royal guards.
"The emperor has a decree to summon King Yanbei to enter the palace immediately." As soon as the carriage drove into the city gate, the royal guards stepped forward and conveyed the emperor's decree in a precise manner.
In the carriage, Ji Yunkai smiled silently when he heard this. The emperor really couldn't wait for a second. Fortunately, Xiao Jiuan left in time, otherwise it would not be so easy to get away if he really had to return to the capital.
"The emperor has summoned the prince to the palace. Do you have something important to do?" Ji Yunkai was already prepared in his heart and asked calmly without panicking.
"Since there is something important, please invite King Yanbei to enter the palace immediately." The guard's voice was still cold and hard, with a hint of unnoticeable toughness.
Ji Yun laughed and said through the car door: "But the prince is not here, what should I do?"
"What?" The guard's tone suddenly changed, and he rushed forward to open the car door, but was stopped by the guard from Yanbei Palace: "You are wanton."
The prince is not here?
When did the prince leave?
Although the guards of Yanbei Palace were also shocked, no one showed it. They all calmly stepped forward and stood in front of the royal guards.
"We have been ordered to invite King Yanbei to the palace. Are you going to rebel?" King Yanjing was not on the carriage, and the royal guards were not polite and put down their big hats.
"My prince is not on the carriage." The guard repeated Ji Yunkai's words.
"Where is King Yanbei?" The royal guard did not move, but his eyes fell on the carriage, as if he wanted to penetrate the carriage.
"This princess wants to make tea with the water from Yufeng Mountain, and the prince has sent it to me." It was Ji Yunkai who answered the emperor's guard.
"King Yanbei went to Yufeng Mountain?" The royal guards didn't believe it, but what they wanted to ask at this time seemed impossible.
"Yes, if your Majesty has something urgent, please wait until our prince comes back." Ji Yunkai said matter-of-factly, looking arrogant and proud of his favor.
Everyone in the capital knew that King Yanbei treated Princess Yanbei like jewels and treasures, spent a lot of money on Princess Yanbei, and spent a lot of money to buy poisonous snakes from southern Xinjiang to replenish Princess Yanbei's body.
Even after the Demon Cult offended Princess Yanbei, he personally went to Blackstone Mountain to avenge the princess.
Is it any wonder that King Yanbei, who dotes on Princess Yanbei so much, goes to Yufeng Mountain to fetch water for the princess himself?
The guard couldn't find the words to argue, but he didn't dare to return empty-handed, so he could only say: "In that case, please follow me into the palace and explain to the emperor in person."
"Okay." Ji Yunkai knew that he had to go to the palace this time.
"Princess, please." Seeing Ji Yunkai's straightforward response, the royal guards were worried that there was fraud. The group of people dispersed in a tacit understanding and surrounded Ji Yunkai and his party, fearing that something would happen.
The personal guards of Yanbei Palace would not do it, and they were not prisoners. What did these guards mean by trapping them in the middle?
But before they could take action, they were stopped by Ji Yunkai: "Let them go and walk to the palace. They don't dare to take action against us."
Even the emperor cannot kill easily without justifiable reasons, especially if the killer is a powerful person with a different surname.
After hearing this, the guards thought that their prince was not here, so they had to hold back secretly.
Under the "escort" of the royal guards, the group walked toward the palace in a mighty manner, and even Fei Xiaochai was no exception.
An hour later, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace. Ji Yunkai, wearing a mask, slowly got out of the carriage and followed the guards into the palace.
The personal guards of Yanbei Palace took off their weapons and walked into the palace gate. However, they could not enter the palace and could only wait at the palace entrance. Fei Xiaochai was no exception.
Ji Yunkai and his party entered the palace gate in one step, and the vermilion palace door slowly closed, locking everyone inside the palace wall.
"I always feel that something is wrong." Fei Xiaochai is not a shrewd person, but he is extremely sensitive to danger. The moment the palace door closed, he had a bad premonition, but...
This is in the palace, no matter how courageous he is, he would not dare to mess around.
Fei Xiaochai could sense that something was wrong, and Xiao Jiuan's personal guards could naturally sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but this was the imperial city and the palace, and they would not dare to mess around even if they were not afraid of death.
It doesn't matter if they die, but it would be bad if it causes trouble for the prince and princess.
Under the guidance of the palace servants, Ji Yunkai quickly arrived at the main hall. Entering the inner hall, Ji Yunkai saw the young emperor sitting on the dragon throne.
The young emperor was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, with a red crown bead on his head. He had a cold face and looked very unhappy.
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Ji Yunkai secretly took a breath and blessed the emperor.
She hates coming to see the emperor. Every time she comes to see the emperor, it feels like a war, very tiring...
However, in this era where imperial power is supreme, she has to come.
"Who gave you the courage not to kneel down when you see me!" The emperor slapped the armrest hard, showing his dissatisfaction.
After hearing the report from the royal guards, the emperor knew that Xiao Jiuan must have returned to Yanbei, but he actually received no news at all. This was simply a shame for the emperor.
Xiao Jiuan is challenging his authority as an emperor!
"It is the right given by the emperor. Has the emperor forgotten?" Ji Yunkai raised his head and looked at the emperor, not lowering his head like before.
She knew very well that she could not retreat at this time, let alone give in. Once she retreated, the emperor would definitely eat her alive.
Moreover, she doesn't need it now. She has the Yanbei Palace behind her. As long as she doesn't make obvious mistakes, it will be difficult for the emperor to cause trouble for her... (To be continued)
