Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Prince Ding pondered for a long time, then found Qian Hui again. His expression was unusually solemn. "General Qian, you've followed His Majesty the longest, ever since His Majesty was thirteen and moved to the border. You've been with him like a shadow. I just want to know if His Majesty and Concubine Yi have a long-standing relationship. Otherwise, why would His Majesty, who has always been indifferent to the six palaces, and even the Queen Mother couldn't stand it, treat Concubine Yi so differently? I believe you can see Prince Kang's intentions, and I just want to know."

Qian Hui's expression gradually grew serious. "Your Highness, I can only tell you that after arriving at the border, His Majesty has always had a habit of disappearing every month during the military camp holidays. His Majesty is extremely strict, and even the secret guards don't know where His Majesty is during those days. I can only remind Your Highness that if we are talking about a connection, then Concubine Yi was also at the border back then."

Qian Hui seemed to have thought of something else, and said solemnly, "Your Highness, I've been feeling lucky lately. I'm lucky that Lin Shaojie broke off the engagement first, so Your Majesty could allow Concubine Yi to enter the palace. If Lin Shaojie had planned to get married right after passing the imperial examination, I can't imagine what would have happened! A ruler occupying a minister's wife is a stain that will be indelible in history books, even for a wise ruler."

"No matter what happened between the two that caused them to be separated for five years, His Majesty's obsession with Concubine Yi has always remained! The three palaces and six courtyards are proof of this. Moreover, the throne has been vacant since His Majesty ascended the throne! Prince Ding, Your Majesty, please advise Prince Kang not to seek his own death again!"

Emperor Shenwu ordered that they would return to the imperial city soon. The long convoy finally set out from Qiling Mountain.

That night, they passed by Miaoling Palace. Emperor Shenwu once again ordered them to rest in Miaoling Palace for one night.

At night, Emperor Shenwu was bathing in the bathtub in the side hall with his eyes closed. It was a rare opportunity for the emperor to relax his body and mind. His strong arms, full of vigorous power, were resting leisurely on the bathing platform.

Several palace maids stood in the hall, waiting to serve the emperor.

This leisurely moment did not last long. There was a noise outside the palace. Emperor Shenwu did not move, but the noise grew louder and louder. The unreasonable and disgusting voice was getting closer and closer. Emperor Shenwu opened his eyes and Princess Yunqi had already rushed in. She looked at the emperor in the bathtub and was stunned. She could only stare blankly, and the whip in her hand did not move.

Emperor Shenwu remained expressionless. He reached out and grabbed his bathrobe, put it on, and walked directly onto the bathing platform. The palace maids standing beside him were startled for a moment, but immediately stepped forward to wipe the emperor's body and dress him.

Princess Yunqi stared at Emperor Shenwu, seemingly still unable to recover from her shock.

Seeing the imperial garments being put on by the palace maids one by one, Princess Yunqi could no longer see that masculine body. She finally came to her senses and said, "Brother Yun, it took a lot of effort for me to come to you. I heard that Shuixia will enter the harem after returning to the imperial city. Brother Yun, Yunqi has never forgotten you..."

Emperor Shenwu ignored her and had no desire to say another word. He walked straight out of the side hall. When he walked out of the side hall door, he said to the guards kneeling at the hall door: "Go and accept your punishment!"

Several guards responded helplessly and aggrievedly.

Princess Yunqi chased out of the side hall and was stunned again when she heard what Emperor Shenwu said. However, she watched the emperor walk further and further away, unwilling to give up. She chased after him and shouted, "Brother Yun, my title is specially given to you. It means my longing for you because of me. Brother Yun, you can't just want Shuixia. Yunqi has really never forgotten you!"

Qian Hui, who was not on patrol, also rushed behind Emperor Shenwu. Hearing the corners of his mouth twitching, he really admired the emperor for being able to remain calm at this time.

Prince Tuoyan also hurried over. After paying his respects, he walked over to Princess Yunqi, grabbed her, and said to Emperor Shenwu, "Your Majesty, I will take her downstairs right away."

Prince Tuoyan turned around and scolded Princess Yunqi: "Have you had enough of your trouble? Look at yourself, do you still look like a princess?"

Emperor Shenwu simply waved his hand and told Prince Tuoyan to quickly take Princess Yunqi away, then walked towards the main hall without looking back.

Princess Yunqi kept struggling in Prince Tuoyan's hands: "Brother Yun, why don't you look at me? Do you really hate Yunqi? Why do you only want Shuixia and not me?"

Emperor Shenwu walked further and further away.

As if she had seen the emperor's determination, Princess Yunqi suddenly shouted, "Brother Yun, I know a girl for whom you personally carved a coral bracelet!"

These words seemed to have magical power and stopped the emperor in his tracks.

"I know that coral bracelet. I saw it before!" Princess Yunqi continued, "Brother Yun wants to give it to a girl!"

Prince Tuoyan felt the air around him suddenly freeze. The emperor, not far away, finally leaned slightly to the side. A storm gathered in his eyes, and murderous intent flashed across them. Time and again, King Kang's covetousness and Yunqi's threatening intentions each tingled with the emperor's wrath.

Qian Hui lowered his head again and again, peeping into the emperor's secrets, threatening the emperor's beloved, and reaching out to pull out the emperor's reverse scale. This Princess Yunqi...

Prince Tuoyan could sense the Emperor's murderous intent. His Majesty Dasheng made no effort to conceal his surging rage. The air around him was already suffocating. If this affected the coexistence agreement...

Prince Tuoyan dragged Yunqi to his knees before the Emperor Shenwu: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Yunqi has always been outspoken. Please don't be angry. I will punish her severely when I return."

Princess Yunqi was unconvinced and wanted to speak, but was stunned by Prince Tuoyan's fierce gaze, and the pain in her wrist also made her unable to speak.

The raging rage in Emperor Shenwu suddenly subsided, and he spoke coldly, "Tuoyan, Princess Yunqi's proposal can still be discussed. Let her go back and wait!"

The emperor turned and left, but Prince Tuoyan was covered in coldness. He looked at Princess Yunqi's face which lit up because of the emperor's words, and suddenly reached out his hand and slapped her hard. Princess Yunqi was stunned and looked at Prince Tuoyan with confusion.

Prince Tuoyan said sternly, "Go back and receive twenty lashes of lashes, and be confined to the Bafang Pavilion!"

Lan Qingwu finally stepped into the harem of Da Sheng again and returned to his own Suowu Palace.

On the second day, Emperor Shenwu held an outer court banquet in Chaohe Hall.

During the banquet, Prince Lieyang laughed heartily: "Your Majesty, I heard that your Majesty's birthday is at the end of this month. I think I will have to bother you for a few days. I am happy to be able to celebrate your birthday. After I return, I can also describe the grand scene of your birthday to the people of Shahua!"

Emperor Shenwu looked down at the crowd and said, "You may not know, but I haven't celebrated my birthday in a big way in the years since I ascended the throne. This year, just like in previous years, we'll just have a family dinner to celebrate!"

Minister of Rites Chen Peijian stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have an objection. The Wanshou Festival is one of the three major imperial festivals. Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, there has been no national celebration for four years. Your Majesty, the Wanshou Festival is not just for Your Majesty alone!"

Censor Yan also stepped out and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the Wanshou Festival should be celebrated by all the people. This is also your Majesty's hope for the prosperity of the country!"

All the civil and military officials in the hall came out one after another and said in unison: "We second the motion!"
