Bringing love across time and space

At this moment, under the corridor bridge outside the palace, a steady sound of footsteps broke the emperor's depression.

A guard approached with his head lowered. His voice echoed in the empty hall like the morning bell and evening drum.

Shocking: "Your Majesty, the Qingzhou prefect has an urgent report."

The emperor sat upright on the dragon throne, his eyes sharp as torches, as if he had already seen through everything.

He raised his hand slightly, his voice revealing unquestionable majesty: "Show it up."

The memorial was carefully placed on the emperor's desk.

The words on the paper were like winding snakes, distorting the truth.

In fact, the emperor already knew the contents of this memorial.

Every word and every sentence was arranged by him in advance.

It was like a carefully woven drama, just to frame Chen Wang Gu Yuchen,

He was accused of privately raising soldiers and intending to rebel.

The emperor gently flipped open the memorial, and the rustling sound of the paper echoed in the empty hall.

Like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, it brings a hint of desolation.

He glanced at the contents of the memorial, then slowly raised his head, his eyes as sharp as knives, sweeping over every minister in the hall.

The emperor "passed the memorial down for all ministers to have a look at"!

When all of them finished reading the memorial,

The ministers felt nervous, as they knew that the contents of this memorial would cause a huge uproar.

As expected, there were a few people who were used to flattering the emperor.

At this moment, like sharks smelling blood, they all knelt on the ground.

With a trembling voice, he begged the emperor to severely punish Prince Chen, confiscate his property and exile him.

A hint of pride flashed in the emperor's eyes. He said nothing, but just sat quietly, as if waiting for a storm to come.

As for those ministers who were kneeling on the ground, their faces were filled with pride.

It was as if he had a premonition that his fate would also win the emperor's favor with the fall of Prince Chen.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was so tense that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.

The emperor's silence made the ministers even more uneasy.

They knew that the emperor's mind was unfathomable, and his every word and action was enough to change the entire court.

At this moment, a middle-aged minister in court robes slowly stood up.

He is the military general Li Da. He has always taken Prince Chen as his role model. There is no fear on his face, only firmness and determination.

He took a deep breath and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think this matter is strange.

Prince Chen Gu Yuchen has always been loyal to the court and has made great military achievements for the country.

How could he suddenly raise soldiers privately and intend to rebel? I beg Your Majesty to look into the details and not listen to one side of the story. "

The minister's words were like a stream of fresh air, washing away the turbid air in the hall.

The emperor frowned slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

The emperor gently put down the memorial in his hand.

There was an unquestionable majesty in his voice: "This matter is of great importance, I will take a closer look.

Whether Prince Chen is guilty or not needs further investigation. I order the Dali Temple to fully cooperate in investigating this matter and make sure to find out the truth!

The emperor's words were like rolling spring thunder, echoing in the palace and shaking everyone's heart.

His voice was full of authority and determination. He ordered:

"Yulin Guards, listen up. Surround Prince Chen's Mansion first and make sure not even a fly can fly out."

The Imperial Guards, as the most elite troops of the royal family, quickly disappeared from the palace like ghosts.

They ran towards the direction of Prince Chen's Mansion. Their armor gleamed coldly in the moonlight, and their swords were unsheathed, chilling them.

Their footsteps were firm and powerful, as if they were going to crush the earth.

The Chen Palace was surrounded by the Imperial Guards, isolated and helpless like an isolated island.

The lights in the mansion were bright at night, but it could not hide the depressing atmosphere.

Prince Chen stood in front of the palace gate, his eyes determined and fearless. He knew that this was an unavoidable storm.

The emperor's order was like a shackle that tightly locked the Prince Chen's Mansion.

The issue of privately raising soldiers is like a fog, shrouding everyone's mind.

The emperor must find out the truth before making a decision. This is a contest of imperial power and loyalty.

On this quiet night, Prince Chen's mansion was surrounded like an iron barrel.

He knew that as long as there was light in his heart, darkness could not swallow him.

At this time, Yan Xiaoyan also learned that Gu Yuchen was going to be confiscated and exiled. She found her father crying and asked her father to save Gu Yuchen.

Lord Yan has a headache. Ever since Yan Xiaoyan met Gu Yuchen, Lord Yan gets a headache whenever he hears Gu Yuchen's name. He used to get a headache because Gu Yuchen was not interested in women and kept them at a distance.

Now it’s because Gu Yuchen is the plague god, and he doesn’t want to get into trouble. It’s hard to get to where he is today, so how can he lose everything he has now for Gu Yuchen.

Yan Xiaoyan begged desperately: "Dad, please save him! Gu Yuchen was wrongly accused!"

Master Yan sighed helplessly, "My dear daughter, it's not that daddy doesn't want to help, it's just that there's nothing I can do."

"Are you just going to watch him being framed?" Yan Xiaoyan burst into tears.

Although Lord Yan was moved, he still said cruelly: "Officialdom is like a battlefield. If you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces. We can't take the risk to save him."

Seeing her father's resolute attitude, Yan Xiaoyan knew that there was no hope. She decided that if Gu Yuchen and his family were confiscated and exiled, she would follow them to the northern border.

She hurried back to her room to pack her bag and counted her banknotes, but felt that there was still not enough.

So he went to his mother, said he needed to buy some jewelry, and asked for 50,000 taels of silver.

Yan Xiaoyan quietly left the house to buy some things she would need on the road. She also bought a carriage and hired a coachman.

They were settled in a private house not far from the mansion, which was the home of Yan Xiaoyan's wet nurse's son.

Yan Xiaoyan also put the things she had bought here, waiting for Gu Yuchen and the others to be confiscated and exiled, and then she would follow behind Gu Yuchen and the others to provide help.

The third prince came to the imperial study and knelt down to beg the emperor to grant him Haozhou as a fief.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking at the third prince expressionlessly, but he knew the third prince's purpose as clearly as a mirror in his mind.

The Third Prince's eyes were firm, and he said sincerely, "Haozhou is vast and populous, and it is a Feng Shui treasure land. I beg you to grant me Haozhou. I will definitely govern it well and live up to your expectations."

The emperor was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and said: "Since you are so willing, then Haozhou will be granted to you."

After hearing this, the Third Prince was overjoyed and kowtowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Father, for your grace. I will do my best to govern Haozhou in an orderly manner."

The emperor looked at the third prince's departing back, thoughtful.

He knew the real purpose of the Third Prince wanting Haozhou, but he still chose to satisfy the Third Prince's request.

Perhaps only the emperor himself knows the reason behind this.
