At dusk, twenty miles west of Wuping Prefecture, Feng Yuanpo led a group of officials to wait in a temporary thatched pavilion on the side of the road. It was reported yesterday that the crown prince was only a day's journey away from Wuping Prefecture, Feng Yuanpo was heartbroken. Surprised, he never expected that the prince would come out at this time. He immediately ordered his subordinates to get ready and searched for the prince's location all the way. Knowing that the prince will arrive at Wuping Mansion today, he estimated the journey time and took people out of the city to meet him.

As the sun sets, the afterglow on the horizon illuminates the vast land with a golden glow.

A fast horse came galloping, Feng Tianxiao had already stepped forward, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the prince?"

The man got off his horse, knelt down on the ground, and said: "Young Marshal Qi, the prince changed his way halfway, and didn't come to Wuping Mansion, but went directly to Tiangong, saying that he wanted to meet the Holy Majesty first."

Feng Yuanpo changed color slightly, and immediately ordered: "How long have you been there?"

"According to the estimated distance, I'm afraid we will arrive soon."

Feng Yuanpo immediately ordered: "Prepare the horse and go to the Heavenly Palace!"

He was quite anxious. The emperor in the palace was a false emperor he had replaced, and he used the false emperor to decree that no one should have an audience. For a long time, not only the courtiers could not see the emperor, but even the empress could not see him. On the one hand, after all, no one dared to disobey the emperor's will.

But he never thought that the prince would descend from the sky.

If there is one person in the whole world who dares to resist the decree to have an audience, it can only be the prince. The prince is the future prince. After the fall of the capital, he went to Hexi. He didn't summon him, but it seemed strange. After all, the emperor is the king of a country. The prince sits in the capital and supervises the administration of the country. Now that the capital is lost and the prince comes, it would be too weird if the emperor didn't summon him for questioning.

Feng Yuanpo believed that the false emperor had the ability to prevent the courtiers and even the queen from seeing him, but Feng Yuanpo was really not sure that the false emperor would be able to deal with the crown prince's request to see him.

The flying horse was like lightning, when Feng Yuanpo arrived at the Tiangong, it was already dark, he rode the fastest horse and rushed to the Tiangong at the fastest speed, just because he was worried that the crown prince would enter the palace before him.

When he arrived outside Detian Palace, Feng Yuanpo saw a group of soldiers outside the palace. These people looked like dusty people, and Feng Yuanpo's heart sank, knowing that the crown prince had already entered the palace.

He entered and exited freely in the Tiangong, and he didn't care too much. He hurried into the palace gate, only to see the luminous pearls on the square shining brightly, and on the edge of the Tianhe in the square, he saw a group of figures heading towards the Juxian Palace. In the past, he walked quickly and gradually approached, and saw a warrior pushing the prince's wheel, slowly moving along the road paved with white marble. Beside the prince, a graceful and graceful woman in a A blue cloak was following the prince, while Xuanyuan Shao was leading the way.

Hearing the commotion, everyone turned their heads and saw Feng Yuanpo had walked over quickly. Feng Yuanpo stepped forward, knelt down on the ground immediately, and said loudly: "I deserve to die, I deserve to die, please punish the Prince, I deserve to die. Please come down to the Crown Prince's crime!"

The prince looked him over and said with a smile, "Is it Governor Feng?"

"Feng Yuanpo, the Governor of Hexi Province, pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince." Feng Yuanpo said loudly, "I am waiting for Your Highness to come to the west of Wuping Mansion, but I heard that His Highness came directly to the Heavenly Palace, so I hurried over. Being able to welcome His Highness deserves death!" He was lying on the ground like a big toad, looking terrified.

The crown prince smiled and said: "Governor Feng, it's not your fault. I came here in a hurry, so you don't have to blame yourself. It's fine if you come. I'm going to meet the emperor now, and I want to plead guilty to the emperor. Now that the situation is critical, this Palace will ask Father for an order, and Father is afraid that he will summon you, so you can wait here... Yes, Governor of Anyi, Yuan Chongshang, has he arrived as well?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, Governor Yuan is now in Wuping Mansion."

"Alright." The crown prince nodded and said, "Xuanyuan, you send someone to Fucheng to summon Yuan Chongshang, and I want to discuss matters with him."

Xuanyuan Shao immediately turned around, beckoned to call a subordinate, and ordered a few words, the guard warrior immediately walked away.

The prince didn't say much anymore, but said indifferently: "Let's go see the Holy Majesty."

Feng Yuanpo had already got up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, the Holy Majesty seems to be unwell...!"

"Oh?" The crown prince frowned, looked at Xuanyuan Shao, Xuanyuan Shao nodded slightly: "The holy dragon is slightly ill, and I came to see Xuanzhen Daozong the day before yesterday."

"Since this is the case, I have to take a look." The prince urged: "Zhao Quan, hurry up."

Zhao Quan, the commander of the prince's guards, pushed the wheelchair and hurried towards Juxian Palace. Feng Yuanpo felt a little anxious. He knew that the prince was by no means an ordinary person. Emperor, if you say a few words, as long as the false emperor has the slightest mistake, the prince will definitely become suspicious.

But at this time, he couldn't say anything else. He hurried over and said he was pleading guilty. There is a problem, maybe there will be other accidents. At this time, of course, I can't say anything, let alone prevent the prince from meeting the emperor.

Everyone came outside Juxian Hall, the gate was closed tightly, Xuanyuan Shao said in a low voice: "Your Highness, there is a decree from the Holy Spirit, except for the palace servants, no ministers inside or outside are allowed to enter Juxian Hall, so you must inform the Holy One first."

Feng Yuanpo heard it from the side, bowed his body, remained calm, but he was relieved in his heart, he was always worried that Xuanyuan Shao would lead people to guard the Juxian Palace, Xuanyuan Shao could often enter to see the emperor, Xuanyuan Shao was also shrewd For an extraordinary person, if he sees his flaws, the consequences will be unimaginable, but from Xuanyuan Shao's words at this moment, the false emperor obviously ordered that no one can easily enter Juxian Palace, which naturally includes Xuanyuan Shao.

The prince nodded slightly, with a solemn expression, and signaled Xuanyuan Shao to report. Xuanyuan Shao came to the door and knocked on the door of the palace. The door quickly opened a gap, and an eunuch poked his head out. , His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived at the Heavenly Palace, and he must face the Holy Spirit immediately!"

The eunuch hurriedly turned around and went in.

Only then did the prince look at Feng Yuanpo, who was extremely respectful, and asked with a smile: "Is Governor Feng busy with the birthday ceremony these days?"

"This is the order of the Holy Majesty, and I will follow the imperial order." Feng Yuanpo hurriedly said.

The prince frowned and said, "Can you tell the Holy Majesty that you want to send troops to suppress the thieves?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have spoken many times, and the Holy Majesty has already ordered that Hexi immediately dispatch troops to recover Hebei after the birthday ceremony." Feng Yuan said in a serious manner: "Your servant has already ordered the Hexi Army to make various preparations. , ready to go, wait for the Holy Majesty's decree, and send troops immediately."

The prince said softly: "Governor Feng has such preparations, so it can be seen that he is a seasoned man who seeks the country."

"Your Highness is honored. Defending the family, defending the country, and exterminating the rebel bandits are all the duties of the subordinates." Feng Yuanpo respectfully said: "The Feng family has received the grace of the sage, and they must do their best to serve the court."

Liuli chuckled beside him and said, "Your Highness, you often say that Governor Feng is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but now that the country is in crisis, Governor Feng is the pillar of the Great Qin!"

"Governor Feng, this is Mrs. Liuli." Xuanyuan Shao introduced from the side.

Feng Yuanpo hurriedly said: "Ma'am, you are absurd. This servant is just a rough person, and he doesn't know anything else. He only knows how to kill with a knife. This servant has already said that this servant is a hunting dog of the Holy Majesty. If anyone dares to endanger Daqin, the Majesty will A decree, the subject will rush up and bite like a hunting dog, even if it is smashed to pieces, he will not hesitate."

The prince nodded and said with a smile: "Loyalty is commendable, loyalty is commendable!"

Although Feng Yuanpo responded here respectfully with a humble face, he was still a little anxious in his heart. He was afraid that the false emperor would be afraid of the crown prince's name and would not dare to stop him. If he summoned the crown prince at this time, things would be really bad.

After a while, the eunuch hurried over, went out of the gate, and said loudly: "My sage said, I feel a little unwell and very tired. I don't see anyone today. Thank you."

The prince frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Did you say it was Bengong who came here?"

"If you go back to His Royal Highness, the slave has already told the Holy One, and the Holy One only has this oral order."

The prince sneered and said: "I have urgent military and state affairs in my palace, and I have to see my father now...!" He said in a deep voice, "Zhao Quan, push me into the palace!"

Zhao Quan hesitated for a moment, the prince said coldly, "You don't want to hear my orders?"

Feng Yuanpo frowned, but stared at the eunuch, winking silently.

The eunuch was the person he placed next to the false emperor. The Juxian Hall is divided into the middle hall and the east and west halls. Most of the palace people in the nave were replaced later, and almost all of them were Feng Yuanpo's people.

Seeing Feng Yuanpo's wink, the eunuch knew what it meant.

"Your Highness, this is an order from the Holy Majesty." The eunuch saw that the Crown Prince was about to force his way into the Juxian Palace, and said anxiously, "If you forcefully break into the palace without the Holy Majesty's will, then you are resisting the will."

The crown prince locked his eyebrows, and Liuli said softly at this time: "Your Highness, since the dragon is not feeling well, the Holy Majesty has issued an order not to summon you for the time being. Your Highness can wait for a while. You are already very tired after traveling all the way. Wait for you to rest. The Holy Majesty summons and then discusses the country’s major affairs. At that time, the result will be twice the result with half the effort. General Xuanyuan is ordered to guard this place, if His Highness forces his way in, the Holy Majesty will not only punish His Highness, but also implicate General Xuanyuan...!"

"Your Highness, the city of Wuping has already prepared a resting place for His Highness." Feng Yuanpo said without losing the opportunity, "The officials in Hexi have all come to Tiangong at this time, and they want to wait for His Highness's instruction."

The prince stared at the gate of Juxian Zhongdian with only a gap open, pondered for a moment, and finally said: "I am going to see the queen!"
