Su Yuejian, who came from the side hall, had been standing at the palace gate for a long time. After Wen Zhiling went in, no message came out from inside, and she was feeling puzzled.

Suddenly, I heard a voice behind me, "Female donor."

Su Yue turned around when she heard the voice, and saw that Xuanfeng had arrived in front of the hall at some point. The person standing beside him had a peaceful face and deep and wise eyes. He was the eminent monk of Dajue Temple, Master Konghui.

Su Yuejian's eyes flashed with doubt and surprise, and then he clasped his hands together and bowed, "Master Konghui."

Master Konghui lowered his eyes and bowed in return.

"Why is Master here?" Su Yuejian looked at Xuanfeng.

Just as Xuan Feng was about to speak, Huang Zhongsheng hurried out and saw the people at the door. His eyes lit up with joy.

Seeing Su Yuejian, he bowed and said, "It's great that Princess Minghua woke up safely. The old Duke and the Grand Tutor were so worried!"

Su Yuejian nodded, and Huang Zhongsheng's smile grew even brighter. "Master Konghui, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager are waiting for you in the palace. Princess Minghua, please come in as well."

Several people walked into the hall and looked up.

The person sitting at the top was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, a crown on his head, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and he was majestic without even being angry. It was Emperor Jingjia Xiao Yu.

The person on the left is wearing a dark purple dress. Although she is old, she still has the elegance and grace of the past. Her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Xiao Heng. Although her skin shows traces of time, it can still be seen that she must have been a stunning beauty when she was young.

The queen on the right is wearing a red palace dress, surrounded by pearls and jade, with a beautiful face and a dignified and elegant demeanor.

Su Yuejian just took a quick glance and then lowered her eyes.

The girl walked over gracefully, and a hint of surprise and astonishment flashed in the eyes of the three people above.

Your Highness's young lady was wearing a light purple long dress with wide sleeves and a goose yellow belt around her waist, which outlined her graceful figure. She had her hair in an ordinary bun with a few pearls dotted in her hair. She had no jingling jewelry and looked extremely pure and elegant.

The empress dowager lowered her eyes and looked at her carefully. Her skin was fair and translucent, and the rouge mark between her eyebrows made her bright face look even more cold.

Her eyebrows and eyes are indeed 70% similar to Lu Jinru's, but unlike Lu Jinru's arrogance, the girl's amber eyes are as pure as glass gems, yet so quiet as if they have seen through decades of time.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly.

Su Yuejian kowtowed and saluted, "Your servant Su Yuejian pays homage to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress."

Master Konghui bowed together.

"Get up." The emperor came back to his senses, looked at Su Yuejian's fair face, and said softly, "Minghua, are you feeling better?"

Listening to the emperor's caring words, Su Yuejian was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine now. This is my first time entering the palace, and I am rude in front of the palace. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager."

Su Yuejianfu knelt on the ground, lowered his brows and kowtowed.

Seeing her perform such a grand ceremony, the Queen Mother was surprised for a moment and felt uncomfortable.

For some reason, she fell into a deep sleep during her nap today, and she had no idea that Su Yuejian was waiting outside.

Su Yuejian apologized as soon as she entered the hall, which showed that she was polite. In addition, although she was weak, she still insisted on standing in the scorching sun for so long, which showed that she was strong-willed and respectful.

The Queen Mother gently raised her hand, motioning Su Yuejian to stand up, her gentle eyes filled with pity, "Hurry up and get up. You are weak, there is no need to be so polite."

The queen looked at Su Yuejian with more appreciation in her eyes.

As Su Yuejian stood up, Xiao Heng raised his eyes and looked directly at the emperor. The emperor paused for a moment, then said, "Please take a seat."

The next second, in full view of everyone, Xiao Heng stood up and walked straight to Su Yuejian, gently helping her to sit down.

Su Yuejian felt the shocked gazes of the crowd and her body froze in place.

Her bright eyes were wide open, staring at Xiao Heng threateningly.

What is this for?! The Emperor and the Queen Mother are still sitting on it!

Lu Zhenting: ∑(°口°?)

Su Lin: ∑(?д??lll)

No, this is the Regent? !

Isn't it said that the Regent is not interested in women? Look at this proactive attitude, how can you call him not interested in women?

Xiao Heng ignored Su Yuejian's eye contact and helped her sit down next to him without giving her any room to refuse. Su Yuejian gritted her teeth and lowered her head, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Liang Xinrou clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes filled with jealous anger.

Why?! The Regent Princess is clearly her position!

She should be the one sitting next to Xiao Heng and enjoying his tenderness!!!

Xiao Heng sat down calmly and looked up at the stunned emperor, empress dowager and queen.

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, and the emperor came back to his senses. He lowered his eyes and asked, "I heard that Master Kong Hui read my brother's fortune some time ago?"

Kong Hui bowed his head and said, "Amitabha, this is indeed true."

"The hexagram shows that the prince was born with a destiny of heavenly evil. He will have too much killing in his life and will die young due to illness."

Su Yue's eyes trembled and she turned to look at Xiao Heng.

"What's the solution?" The Queen Mother looked anxious.

"To break this deadlock, we need to find a woman with the Red Phoenix Star of Tianfu. Only by matching her with him can we turn misfortune into good fortune and achieve peace and success."

"Red Phoenix Star of Tianfu?" The emperor frowned.

Kong Hui nodded, "People born under the Red Phoenix Star of Tianfu are naturally blessed with auspicious auras. They cultivate both blessings and wisdom, and therefore enjoy immense fortunes and prosperity for the nation."

After saying that, he turned to look at the girl beside Xiao Heng, and everyone's eyes followed him to Su Yuejian.

"This female donor is the one with the Red Phoenix Star of Tianfu, which appears once every hundred years."

"Me???" Su Yuejian's round eyes were full of confusion.

"Yes, the female donor came to Dajue Temple to ask for a talisman before, and I knew it by looking at her face."

Su Yue saw his lips move slightly, and always felt that something was strange.

Xiao Heng looked up at his superior, his expression as calm as ever. "My mother and my brother have heard this. Princess Minghua cannot marry the Crown Prince. This prince must have her."

"As for the outside world's rumors of rebellion..." Xiao Heng lowered his eyes and chuckled, "Xuanfeng."

Xuanfeng walked in with a brocade box and handed it to Huang Zhongsheng with a bow.

Huang Zhongsheng stepped forward and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor took the brocade box with a puzzled look on his face and opened it. A black iron military token lay quietly in the box. The emperor's face suddenly darkened.

"Nonsense!" the emperor shouted angrily at Xiao Heng.

When the Queen Mother saw the military token, her eyes were filled with shock.

"Brother Your Majesty, Dean Wen has just stated my physical condition. I am already a decayed man, no longer fit for battle. This military token is nothing more than a piece of scrap metal in my hand."

Xiao Heng's expression was indifferent. He raised his eyes to meet the emperor's gloomy face and said, "There are so many rumors outside. I am really unable to sleep or eat. After much consideration, I think it is most appropriate to hand it over to my brother, the emperor."

The two men's eyes met, and the atmosphere in the hall became extremely depressing for a moment.
