"What do I need the Gong royal family's kingdom for?"

As soon as Gong Chenyu said this, Gong Jin lowered his head again.

He also knew that his uncle was not of royal blood, but he pretended not to know all these years.

For him, blood relationship is not important at all. He recognizes this imperial uncle whom he has admired and regarded as a role model since he was a child.

Moreover, he was very clear that if the Gong royal family was managed by the emperor's uncle, Daxia would only become more prosperous, and the lives of the people would become better and more stable.

At this moment, Gong Chenyu's voice sounded again, "Daxia will be handed over to you. As for other matters, you don't need to think too much or get involved. Just wait for the enthronement."

Gong Jin looked up suddenly, "Is the emperor's uncle going to hand over the throne to me?"

"Do you have the confidence to make the people of Daxia live a better life?"

Gong Chenyu's pair of peach blossom eyes were as deep as an ancient well, and his tone was calm but unquestionable.

"Yes." Gong Jin said the word firmly.

It was also at this moment that he deeply realized the weight of this word. He was not the future emperor of the Gong royal family, but the emperor of thousands of people in Da Xia. He would live his whole life for the people of Da Xia.

Gong Chenyu patted Gong Jin on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Emperor believes that you will be a good emperor."

When he took his hand back, he added, "No matter what happens after you return to the East Palace, you don't have to care about it and don't have to do anything. Your father will abdicate the throne to you in five days."

Although there was surprise in Gong Jin's eyes, he understood instantly.

After paying his respects to Gong Chenyu and Nan Mo, he exited the study, left Prince You's Mansion and went straight back to the East Palace.

He had just returned when the secret guard Qiu Feng suddenly came back with injuries on his body.

"I have done my job poorly, and I hope the master will punish me."

Gong Jin helped the man up and asked Donggong's confidant to come and treat the wound.

His face was full of confusion. "Didn't I ask you to take Little Li away for questioning? How did he get so injured?"

What puzzled Gong Jin the most was that Qiu Feng was the leader of the secret guards around him and had profound martial arts skills. He didn't understand who could have hurt him so badly in such a short time?

Qiu Feng's face was serious and filled with shame, "I have disappointed Your Highness."

Gong Jin shook his head slightly and sat down opposite him. Although one of them was the master and the other was a secret guard, there were three other secret guards of the Qiu generation. They grew up together and had even been trained in King You's secret guard training camp.

They ate and lived together and endured numerous tests together before finally standing out from the many secret guards, so the affection between them had actually long surpassed that of master and servant.

"Being able to hurt you shows that the opponent is quite capable. What's going on?"

Gong Jin's expression was calmer than before.

"When I was interrogating Little Li, I was suddenly attacked by a man in black. It looked like he wanted to silence Little Li. His attack was fast, accurate and ruthless. I had no power to fight back. If there hadn't been an inexplicable and strange wind that suddenly blew up in the dark cell, I would have died without a doubt."

"Strange wind?"

Qiu Feng's eyes were full of confusion. "Our cell was clearly well-hidden and airtight, but suddenly there was a wind blowing. The wind seemed to have its own consciousness and swept the man in black up. When the wind disappeared, the man in black had been torn into pieces and his flesh and blood was blurred."

Hearing this, Gong Jin inexplicably recalled what the Emperor's uncle said when he just left Prince You's Mansion: 'No matter what happens after you return to the East Palace, you don't have to care about it and you don't have to do anything.'

It seems that it was the emperor's uncle's men who killed the man in black and rescued Qiu Feng.

Then, instead of asking about the strange wind, he asked, "How's Little Leo?"

"The wind suddenly swept him away, and I was unable to find even the remains of his body."

Gong Jin was silent for a moment, "If you can't find it, then forget it."

Just when Qiu Feng was surprised, he said, "Let our people keep silent for the next few days and pretend not to know what happened in the palace."

Although Qiu Feng was puzzled, he did not ask any more questions and said respectfully, "I will go and inform you right away."

"You take a rest. I'll let Qiuyun go."

As soon as he finished speaking, the secret guard Qiu Yun appeared, "I obey your orders."

Just as Qiuyun left, Qiuyu, who was assigned to secretly protect Gong Yao in Changle Palace, suddenly appeared and said, "Your subordinate greets the master."

"Is there something wrong with Yaoer?"

"The little princess went to Kunning Palace. After entering the inner palace, there were many secret guards inside, so several of my subordinates were unable to sneak in. We could only hide and wait in the main hall. However, the little princess did not come out for a long time. I was worried that something might have happened, so I came to find Your Highness."

"But my father is also in Kunning Palace?"

Qiu Yu nodded in response.

Gong Jin's face instantly turned cold, if the emperor had not been there, Qiu Yu would not have come to him in such a hurry. It was normal for Gong Yao to visit her mother as a princess, but if the emperor was there too, he would inevitably worry that the emperor would plot against Gong Yao to agree to go to Xirong for marriage.

His father, the emperor, was not as doting and loving him and his two siblings as he appeared to be.

Thinking of this, Gong Jin became a little restless. Just when he stood up and wanted to go to Kunning Palace to find Gong Yao, he remembered what his uncle had just said in Prince You's Mansion, telling him not to do anything after he came back no matter what happened.

After standing for a moment, he returned to his chair and sat down.

Qiufeng and Qiuyu had no idea what their master was thinking at the moment and could only watch quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Gong Jin finally spoke, but he didn't speak to Qiu Yu. Instead, he looked at Feng, whose wound had been bandaged, and asked, "Did you sense the breath of Feng in the dark cell?"

Qiu Feng shook his head. "I couldn't sense anything, but that wind seemed to be very familiar with the dark prison. It had a clear goal and directly swept up the black-clothed man who attacked me and chopped him into pieces. Then it swept away the frightened Xiao Li and disappeared."

Gong Jin tapped his fingers on his leg lightly. After a moment, he looked at Qiu Yu and said, "Go and watch from the dark. Don't act rashly. Yao'er will be fine."

"Subordinates take orders."

At this time, Kunning Palace.

Gong Yao had already walked out of the bedroom and was standing by the window in the main hall, playing with the exquisite frame.

When the secret guard Qiuyu came back and found that the little princess was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to hide in the dark.

In the dark room beneath the phoenix couch in the Queen's bedroom.

Queen Su Luoluo cried until her eyes turned red. She beat the emperor and cried, "Why? Why do you make me remember all this? Sister Hanyan is back. She must hate me to death. It's all your fault, it's all your fault..."

"Blame me, it's all my fault, I won't cry anymore..."

The emperor held the queen in his arms and comforted her again and again, "Be careful not to hurt yourself by crying. You are pregnant with our child. Even if you don't care about yourself, you must protect your body for the child."

After a while, the queen finally stopped crying and her emotions stabilized.

"At this point, do you still want to find the destiny of the Princess of Destiny?"
