A genius girl with her own space
Chapter 392: Captured
The four of them were the only ones dining in the main hall. Qiqi smiled as she helped herself to her own food and offered some fruit juice, asking the three of them to drink less. They all enjoyed their meal. Hu Boyuan was quite talkative, making the old emperor laugh. He also recounted Qiqi's embarrassing childhood memories from her past life, leaving her staring blankly. The old emperor and Zhou Jingze watched with such intensity that they had to suppress their laughter.
Zhou Jingze was also talking about Qiqi. She was a foodie. Whenever she arrived in a new place, she would clamor for the local specialties. Even her master couldn't control her. They all doted on her, turning her into a foodie. Qiqi was also their beloved apprentice and junior sister.
Zhou Jingze smiled as he spoke, looking at Qiqi. She didn't get angry either. "I just love to eat. What's wrong with that? I'm the best foodie in the world. You guys spoiled me like that. I can't change."
"Okay, okay, we like Qiqi like this. In the future, wherever we go, we will let Qiqi eat her fill. I will buy you whatever you like. Don't worry, I have plenty of spirit stones. You will never go broke eating all that food in your lifetime." Hu Boyuan said dotingly.
"Hahaha, brother, this is what you said, don't cheat in the future! I'm going to eat you out of money."
Zhou Jingze also stood up and touched Qiqi's head, his doting expression visible to everyone. The old emperor laughed so hard that he covered his mouth, fearing that Qiqi would feel embarrassed.
The old butler, who was listening outside, opened his eyes wide and tried not to laugh out loud. He loved the Crown Princess very much and treated both of their children as his own juniors.
They finished their meal quickly, and Zhou Jingze and Qiqi took Hu Boyuan back to the Prince's Mansion. It was casual here, but the palace had many rules. Zhou Jingze personally arranged a room for his senior brother, so that he could live comfortably.
Qiqi asked Zhou Jingze why he didn't tell the old emperor about going to the fairyland.
"Qiqi, my brothers are all very ruthless. They all want the position of the emperor. They thought I would never come back. I know that the emperor has been very angry these days and he can't bear to be cruel to his own sons. So I took action to punish them severely. I didn't have time to tell him about this matter, for fear that he would be angry and not leave with us.
"For you, it's different for him. First, he likes you as his daughter-in-law. Second, when he hears that the old steward is going with us, they can live long and have a companion together forever, so he'll be happy and agree to go with us."
"Yes, the emperor will definitely not be willing to let go of his sons. Let's get to know them better and see who among them can become the pillar of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Then we can let him be the future emperor. Only then can we feel at ease and the emperor can let go." Qiqi said.
The couple chatted until midnight before going to bed.
It was Hu Boyuan's first time in the imperial city of the mortal world. He couldn't sleep, so he got up and flew out of the Prince's Mansion. The guards of the Prince's Mansion didn't notice a person flying out from above their heads.
Hu Boyuan flew through the sky and landed at the Jiang Mansion. He chatted with them at Lingxiao Sect. They had moved here from the Jiang Mansion, the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He came to see the place where he would be born seventy-seven hours later.
There were still a few servants left in the mansion to look after the house and clean it. He didn't disturb them and slowly walked through the three courtyards until he came to a woman's boudoir. This was where Qiqi lived.
Qiqi had also told him that when she was little, she spent most of her time traveling with Master Yunjizi. She only spent a few days at home each year. But Hu Boyuan felt as if his junior sister had lived here before, and was very happy.
He watched from outside, not going in. Even though it was Qiqi's room, there were still differences between men and women, and there was a limit to how close they were. He quickly flew into the air. From above, he watched the lights of the city lights, and saw dozens of people in a mansion discussing something.
Hu Boyuan landed above their house. He could see them and hear their conversation, but the people in the house below didn't notice him. They were planning to imprison the emperor and force him to issue an imperial decree to abdicate.
Hu Boyuan didn't recognize the man in the prince's attire. He looked like the old emperor, perhaps his son. They were planning a rebellion! They wanted to seize the throne. These fools couldn't wait any longer.
The old emperor chose one of his sons to inherit the throne. It would be great if they waited for Zhou Jingze and his men to arrive before seizing power. He's courting death! I'm watching from behind as they try to capture the old emperor. If I capture him now, they won't admit it. They'll accuse me of arresting the wrong person, and then bring a lawsuit against the old emperor. While that won't happen, it's important to be prepared.
Hu Boyuan watched them and listened to their deployment. He knew there were talented people among them. Their layout was very solid and had almost no loopholes. This was because he had come. If it were Zhou Jingze's guards, they might have missed this information.
More than twenty of them put on night clothes, and with the prince leading them, they quickly disappeared into the night.
Hu Boyuan followed behind. These people's Qinggong skills were very impressive. They were obviously from the martial arts world. They were all masters. When they entered the palace, they did not alert the palace guards. They avoided them one by one. It seemed that they were very familiar with the palace and it was not their first time here.
Hu Boyuan was delighted that he had come across such a big news. He could also help Qiqi. He waited for these people to capture the old emperor and then rescue him, so that they would not be able to deny it.
He was notifying Qiqi and Zhou Jingze to come and see what his brothers had done so that they could punish them. The old emperor knew about the behavior of his own sons and might not have the heart to punish them.
The men in black quickly drugged the guards in the old emperor's bedroom. They didn't harm them or kill them. They just dragged them aside and kept them under guard, preventing them from rescuing the old emperor.
As soon as they reached the top of the bedroom, the old emperor and the old steward discovered them. Several secret guards in the bedroom took out their swords to protect the old emperor.
The men in black flew into the room without saying a word and started fighting with the secret guards. One of them took out a packet of medicine and threw it at the secret guards and the old emperor.
The old steward immediately stood in front of the old emperor and fell to the ground in an instant.
"Your Majesty, it's poisonous, be careful."
"Old butler, what's wrong with you? Stop it. If you have any problem, come to me. Don't hurt them." The old emperor said loudly.
He casually took out a pill and swallowed it. It was the detoxification pill Qiqi had given him. He didn't give it to the old steward, fearing that if he detoxified him, he would be desperately looking for these people. Let him lie down for a while! Qiqi and Zhou Jingze had returned, and they would not be without vigilance. They would come to rescue them soon.
The secret guards fell to the ground one by one and were dragged away by the men in black.
