Chitose words

Chapter 418 Looking at each other
".Your Highness, Your Highness!"

"It's really His Highness Chitose!"

Someone was overjoyed: "I congratulate His Highness on his recovery and release from confinement!"

Many courtiers and dignitaries stood up and greeted each other in unison:

"See you Chitose, and stay safe, Your Highness!"

An old minister who was born under the Xie family in Xunyang and who had not been able to see Xie Zhao for several years lamented with tears:
"Chitose Kiyoshi has lost so much weight. It shows that His Majesty is right. His Highness is really overworked and should be returned to the palace for recuperation."

Wan Luoer was a step slower and followed Xie Zhao to the Yaochi Palace.

When everyone saw that Concubine Wan Shu was here, they couldn't help but look at each other.

After all, the Queen and the Empress were not present today, but Concubine Shu came to the Yaochi Palace according to the order.

It can be seen that the rumors that His Majesty favored concubines, destroyed his wives, and favored concubines are by no means groundless.

I heard that now, in the inner palace of the Evernight City, the world has become the domain of her family, Concubine Wan Shu.

Be it Empress Bai, Concubine Cui or Concubine Jiang, their dignity in front of His Majesty is far inferior to that of Concubine Shu, who is doted on the Sixth Palace.

Fortunately, His Majesty is diligent in running the country and is not a fatuous king obsessed with women.

After all, no one is perfect, and as a minister, it is natural not to criticize and interfere too much in the affairs of the emperor's harem.

Therefore, although there is no respect for Concubine Wan Shu, etiquette cannot be discarded. Facing Wan Luoer, one of the four concubines, and many courtiers and dignitaries, they still have to pay tribute to her.

"Concubine Shu, Jin An."

".I have met Concubine Shu."

In fact, they looked down on Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu Wan Luoer's attention was not on them at all.

She just nodded hastily, not spending even half of her energy on making friends with these popular dignitaries outside.

Seeing Concubine Wan Shu's appearance, many courtiers, especially the bureaucrats who had good relations with the Yingzhou Jiang family, were even more dissatisfied.

A harem girl with such a humble background could be so arrogant because of the emperor's favor.

Wan Luoer didn't care what they thought.

With a gentle smile on her face, she stood cautiously and politely half a meter behind Xie Zhao, just like the most considerate and humble palace maid, without any of the domineering rumors of looking down on the harem.

She quickly said: "Your Highness, please be careful of the steps. The Yaochi Palace was just renovated last year, and the threshold at the entrance of the palace was also raised half an inch."

Wan Shufei's face was full of worry.

In fact, when she was outside Yaochi Hall just now, she wanted to help His Highness get out of the sedan chair in person, but His Highness refused and said there was no need.

Xie Zhao smiled, turned around and comforted her casually:

"Don't worry, if such a high threshold can trip me up, then I will be too useless. I might as well clean up and die."

Wan Luoer became anxious when she heard this, and she hurriedly said:

"Hush! Your Highness, don't say such nonsense!"

Xie Zhao smiled helplessly.

"You are not very old, how come you are more superstitious than me, a man who worships God?"

After she finished speaking, she stopped talking and walked steadily into the hall.

The pure white skirt, as Xie Zhao walked, was like the most holy white epiphyllum in the world.

Beautiful, but only for a moment.

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly and his smile faded slightly.

Apparently, she took her previous words into her heart: "It should be up to me to decide whether to stay or go."

Xie Zhao stood still under the throne, looking at the Bai family and his son on the left, the Prince of Xunyang County and the high priest of Nanxu on the right, and then smiled.

"Hey, they are all familiar faces."

Bai Mengxian and Bai Lunqiao froze when Xie Zhao's figure appeared outside the hall!

No matter how cunning they are, seeing someone who should have been dead for a long time appear in front of people alive again, the horror is enough to make the father and son drink a pot!

When everyone was saluting Xie Zhao, they naturally did not dare to ask Da to follow him and stand up to salute.

Therefore, the two of them were still standing at this time.

——Bai Lunqiao is really scared!

After all, how much "effort" did his son Bai Rusong play in "that matter" back then? They knew it, the emperor knew it, and how could the "Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal" not know it? His mental endurance was far inferior to that of his father, Governor Bai Mengxian, and he was already sweating profusely.

Bai Lunqiao opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say hello, but he felt as if his throat was blocked by a ball of cotton wool.

Not only was he unable to utter a single word, he even faintly felt like vomiting in a state of extreme horror!
He seemed to be nailed to the moment by a soul-suppressing nail, and he almost didn't dare to move!
And although the Grand Governor Bai Mengxian seemed to be relatively stable on the surface, why wasn't he feeling ups and downs in his heart?
His asthma was almost aroused by the shock!
How is this possible?
Princess Tianchen's bloody clothes and her natal sword "Mountain, River, Sun and Moon" were brought back by the Knights themselves!
It is said that where the sword is, the man is alive, but when the sword dies, the man is dead!
The bloody clothes were stained with blood. Just looking at the amount of blood, it must have damaged the source and aorta!
How could a person still be alive with that kind of injury?

Even though Governor Shibai had gone through three dynasties and became an old fox that had become a spirit, it was inevitable that he would be agitated at this time!
He barely managed to calm down and said in a dry voice:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Unexpectedly, Xie Zhao just glanced at them but did not pay any attention to them.

She just turned around and gave a salute to Prince Xunyang who was looking at her with a smile.

"Uncle, you are fine."

Xie Huanzhang, the king of Xunyang County, nodded gently and said with a pun:

"I am very relieved to see His Highness return safely."

Xie Zhao smiled and nodded, turning his head to look at the Nanxu High Priest.

After a moment, she shook her head and said, "Senior brother, it's not like you to be so impulsive."

Of course she was referring to the fact that the high priest of Nanxu came to Zhaoge City alone and openly challenged the emperor in public.

The high priest of Nanxu raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly:
"A pure heart is the way to go. To go backward is to go forward - I am my own world, so why bother with the eyes of the world."

Xie Zhao nodded upon hearing this.

"Life is full of seas, mountains and rivers, but nothing more. Congratulations, senior brother, for understanding the cause and effect of the world."

The high priest of Nanxu was slightly startled when he heard this, and his eyes fixed on the woman in front of him who was wearing an extremely elegant holy white dress.

I always thought she was still young.

Even though everyone regarded her as the support of the entire dynasty, in his heart he always felt that she was still the poor child who was not as high as her master's knees and had to hold a heavy sword and practice sword practice with great effort.

Today, she is over 20 years old. At an age where she is neither embarrassed nor embarrassed, she has never had a good day.

Everyone in the world knows that Princess Tianchen was born with extraordinary dignity, a noble destiny, and a very good life;
It is also often said that the "Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal" has extraordinary talents and unique blessings, and that is why he can advance rapidly in the realm of martial arts.

But only the few people around them know how hard and difficult her life has been day after day for so many years.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

Every achievement in Fu Jingci's reputation was made bit by bit with her blood and sweat.

Whether he is honored or praised by the world, his fame is neither wasted nor easy.

However, this girl who grew up under the heavy pressure of the rise and fall of the entire Tianchen and the revitalization of the martial arts in the Southern Dynasties, even though she suffered many hardships and was abandoned by her loved ones, there was no trace of gloom in her heart.

Not only that, she is born with bodhicitta and can understand the suffering of others and empathize with them with compassion.

Therefore, she will be the best inheritor of the unique skills of Sanskrit music in Shentai Palace for thousands of years.

She also understands his great freedom.

Therefore, Nan Xu secretly made up his mind that no matter what happened today, he would definitely save her from the filthy quagmire of the city that never sleeps!

Even if he betrays the ancestral precepts of the Shentai Palace and suffers the backlash from the sky-gazing technique.

Xie Zhao finally turned to look at the emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair. He had stopped smiling at some point and was looking at her expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty, first of all I would like to congratulate you on your crown."

She said this first.

Immediately, Que said again in full view of the crowd without any surprise:
"However, I am afraid that I will disappoint His Majesty. Jing Ci has no interest in worldly affairs, and he has no intention of taking off his divine robe and leaving the school.

Your Majesty, when the birthday banquet is over today, I will go back to Shentai Palace with the high priest.

As for the advice I gave in the Zhaohua Palace last time, it was not a threat. Please consider it again. "

The emperor's expression was solemn, and he heard what she meant!
She clearly meant that the words she said in the Zhaohua Palace two days ago that she planned to depose the emperor and establish a new king were not child's play!

As the eldest princess, how dare you commit such a crime!

It’s simply ridiculous!
As soon as these words came out, everything fell silent.

Many civil servants who had just spoken out passionately looked at each other, completely confused about what was happening in front of them!
Although they didn't know what the "advice" Princess Tianchen said was, one thing was beyond doubt -

That means His Majesty seemed to have lied just now.

Didn't His Majesty just say that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess intends to resign from her position as a goddess?
What now?
It seems that this is not the case?
