Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1927

The hall was silent, as if no one was there.

Instantly, Emperor Zhaowu's Adam's apple rolled, his voice hoarse. "Imperial sister, have I done anything to cause you to misunderstand?" He suddenly raised his hand to his chest. "Actually... I miss my husband too. He was the first person to stand by my side, and it was he who paved the way for me."

Shi Anxia raised her eyes suddenly, and there seemed to be broken ice floating in her eyes.

The Emperor Zhaowu's wide sleeves, embroidered with dark patterns, drew a subtle arc in the candlelight. He stood with his hands behind his back. "I intend to bring Yi Yi back to the palace and find the best tutor to teach her the classics and history. I will also..."

"Your Majesty, you can't do that." Shi Anxia interrupted, her face as solemn as when she solemnly apologized to him that day, "Your Majesty favored me and gave me the title of Princess Haiyan. However, I know very well that the inheritance of the dragon vein is related to the foundation of the country, and the royal bloodline cannot be mixed."

The room was silent again, as if no one was there.

"I thank the emperor for his love and favor for Yi Yi." Shi Anxia took a deep breath, and under the dark gaze of Emperor Zhaowu, she said firmly, "But Yi Yi cannot follow the emperor back to the palace."

Shi Anxia raised the corners of her lips slightly, and performed an impeccable palace etiquette, "I, your sister, thank the emperor for his kindness on behalf of my son. I will make sure he remembers that the emperor uncle treats him with great kindness."

Emperor Zhaowu finally gave in. "We can't let a quack like Ye Xun be Yi Yi's mentor. Although he is your son, he is also... my nephew."

The polite words exchanged between us were respectful but distant. If you are not a close relative, you will not be able to speak from the heart. In the end, the two sides will end up unhappy.

Emperor Zhaowu eventually learned that Zhuo Qiran's hair turned white overnight for the princess and three children. He also learned that Ye Xun, as Zhuo Qiran's master, was looking for a cure for him.

He only half understood what was said and had many questions in his mind, but he didn't know where to start.

He only knew that the imperial sister was forcing him to return to the capital, and he couldn't take the child with him who had dimples when she smiled.

On the way back, Emperor Zhaowu remained silent.

Xiao Shuzi followed behind in small steps, not daring to make a sound.

Emperor Zhaowu walked into the courtyard on the broken snow. When the door curtain of the warm room was lifted, the hot air from the floor dragon that hit him in the face made him frown slightly, and the coldness all over his body was entangled with the warm fragrance.

Xiao Shuzi hurried in, took off the fox fur coat for his master, and took it outside to shake off the snow. When he entered the room again, he heard his master say, "The emperor's sister is very wary of me."

Xiao Shuzi didn't dare to say anything. Should he agree or refute at this moment? No matter what he said, it would be inappropriate.

But the master refused to let him go, and raised his eyes solemnly and asked, "Xiao Shuzi, what do you think?"

Xiao Shuzi's heart trembled, and he silently chanted "Eunuch Qi, please protect me" several times before kneeling down and replying, "My servant is stupid..."

Emperor Zhaowu seemed tired and rubbed his brows. "Get up and answer the question." He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Shuzi sharply. "Do you know where you stand?"

Xiao Shuzi's heart trembled again. Mother, Eunuch Qi, if you don't answer this question correctly, you will lose your head.

He answered respectfully in a low voice, "Xiao Shuzi once served the Emperor, so he is the Emperor's man. Now I have the honor of serving you, the Emperor, so naturally I am your man wholeheartedly."
