The newlyweds were replaced with new wives, and the medical concubine entered the palace and killed

As the voice fell, Gu Lingyue pushed Long Shang in.

"Your son/daughter-in-law pays homage to His Majesty the Father." The two of them paid their respects and waited there.

Emperor Tianqi did not speak. His eyes swept over Gu Lingyue and then fell on Long Shang who was beside her.

Long Shang didn't care, as he was already sitting in a wheelchair, but Gu Lingyue was still waiting there with her knees bent.

Long Shang was unhappy when he saw that Emperor Tianqi didn't say anything.

He coughed and looked at Emperor Tianqi with a dark face.

Emperor Tianqi cursed in his heart, "You little bastard, what's the big deal about kneeling for a while? No one will die." Although he thought so in his heart, he still let Gu Lingyue stand up.

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Father." They both said at the same time.

"I only summoned your wife into the palace, not you." Emperor Tianqi said with a dark face.

It means you should get out of here right away.

"I missed you and came to see you."

Long Shang lied without blushing or beating his heart, but it made Emperor Tianqi laugh out of anger.

If it was when he was a child, he would believe it, but ever since that incident, he never even gave him a good look, let alone said he missed him. Now he actually said he missed him. He was kidding.

However, Emperor Tianqi also knew that Long Shang would not leave, so he didn't care and said to him, "I have something to ask your wife later, and you are not allowed to interrupt."

"Then you can't scare her, she's timid." Long Shang did not give a direct answer, but put forward conditions.

Emperor Tianqi gnashed his teeth in anger. How could he scare a man who dared to kill people by asking a few questions?

He glared at Long Shang and said, "Don't worry, you won't scare her."

In fact, Long Shang knew that Gu Lingyue was not afraid. He just wanted a promise from his father, a promise that he would not hurt Gu Lingyue.

Gu Lingyue felt relieved after hearing this. At least her life was no longer in danger.

She had originally planned to use the promise that Emperor Tianqi owed her in exchange for today's disaster, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't need it at all.

Emperor Tianqi no longer looked at Long Shang, but instead looked at Gu Lingyue with a gloomy expression and asked directly: "Did you kill your royal brother?"

Gu Lingyue heard this and thought to herself, he finally knew it?!

But she didn't plan to hide it. After all, there were so many people in the hunting ground. Even if the queen didn't say anything, someone might have seen it. Besides, she didn't think that Emperor Tianqi's people were useless.

"Yes."

Gu Lingyue admitted it, she knew she couldn't deny it.

"Humph!" Emperor Tianqi snorted coldly, "You admit it so readily."

"I dare not hide this from my father."

Gu Lingyue's frankness made Emperor Tianqi furious.

Is she acting like this because she knows that I am not going to kill her and is therefore provoking me, or is she simply ignorant and thinks that I cannot do anything to her if she kills a prince?

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Emperor Tianqi roared angrily.

"You scared her." Without waiting for Gu Lingyue to speak, Long Shang pulled her to sit on his lap, patted Gu Lingyue on the back and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. No matter what happens, I'll be there for you."

Gu Lingyue nodded cooperatively, leaned on Long Shang's chest, and looked at Emperor Tianqi with an innocent face.

The Emperor Tianqi was so angry that he picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at him.

Long Shang stretched out his hand to block the flying teacup.

The teacup fell on the carpet and broke into several pieces.

"You bastard, he killed your brother, are you just going to indulge her like this?"

Gao Ming's face turned pale with fear, and he immediately knelt down, shouting, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Emperor Tianqi ignored him and just kept glaring at the two of them angrily.

"If he hadn't come to assassinate Yue'er, he wouldn't have died." Long Shang said coldly.

Emperor Tianqi: ...

"Even if he's wrong..."

"It was his fault in the first place." Long Shang interrupted Emperor Tianqi.

Emperor Tianqi's face flushed with anger, and he pointed at Long Shang and said, "Okay, okay, even if he deserves to die, can't you just consider that he's your brother and at least cripple him and spare his life?"

Long Shang sneered, "He wanted to kill me, but you told me to let him go because he's my royal brother. What about 'First Village'? What did they do? Why don't you let them go?"

"..."

Emperor Tianqi was stunned and speechless.

At this time, Xiao Dezi's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhenbei requests an audience."

Gu Lingyue was also stunned. Why did her grandfather come?

She looked at Long Shang, who shook his head, saying he didn't know either.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi also came back to his senses, frowned slightly, then stood up and walked out from behind the imperial desk, walking quickly towards the door.

Gu Lingyue quickly got off Long Shang and pushed Long Shang to catch up with Emperor Tianqi.

When the door of the imperial study was opened, there was a sedan chair at the door. The curtain of the sedan chair was opened, and an old man with a weather-beaten face was sitting in the sedan chair, with two young men standing beside him.

Seeing Emperor Tianqi coming out, the old man said to the two men outside: "Quick, carry me out, I want to pay my respects to the emperor."

"Your Majesty Tang, there's no need to be so polite. Since you're not feeling well, please don't bother."

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhenhong said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

The two men beside him knelt down before Emperor Tianqi and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Emperor Tianqi looked at the two sturdy, handsome men kneeling there and said with a look of satisfaction, "Are these the two grandsons of Lord Tang? They are truly formidable young men."

"The Emperor immediately praised." Tang Zhenhong laughed and said, "This is Tang Wenqi, the third son of the Tang family, and Tang Wenle, the fourth son of the Tang family."

Emperor Tianqi nodded and wanted to laugh, but he really couldn't laugh at the moment, so he just said, "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After they stood up, they greeted Long Shang and Gu Lingyue and said, "Greetings, Prince Jing, Princess Jing."

Tang Zhenhong also called out from the sedan chair, "Prince, Princess."

Although he was very happy to see his granddaughter, he still had to follow the rules as they were in the palace.

Long Shang guessed that Tang Zhenhong's entry into the palace had something to do with his daughter Yue'er, but he didn't know what he was going to do?

After all, the Tang family has been loyal to the emperor and the country for generations, and Tang Zhenhong is even more of a loyal minister. He would not get involved in the royal family's internal strife, but he still said respectfully: "Grandpa, you are too polite."

Gu Lingyue smiled and called out, "Grandpa, Third Brother, Fourth Brother." But her eyes were always observing Tang Zhenhong.

Her grandfather had not come to see the emperor since he returned to Beijing because he was feeling unwell, but now he was suddenly carried into the palace. Could it be that he came for her own matter?

Emperor Tianqi looked at the two men's attitude towards the Tang family, especially Long Shang's respect for Tang Zhenhong. He frowned and became even more irritated.

He has never been so respectful to me. He just challenged me, but now he is more affectionate to Tang Zhenhong than to me.

He looked at Long Shang with resentment, then looked at Tang Zhenhong's current appearance.

Compared with the last time, he looked much older, with a head full of white hair, and his energy was not as strong as before. It was obvious that he had reached the end of his life.

He knew the purpose of Tang Zhenhong entering the palace despite being ill, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Tang family boy, carry the sedan chair and come in with me."

After saying this, he turned and walked into the imperial study.

"Yes."
