At the tender age of eight, he was hastily dragged out and made emperor!

"That'll teach you to speak without thinking!!"

"How dare you say such a thing?!"

"You dare to fight with the Imperial Guards in front of the Daxing Hall!"

"You're courting death, but don't drag the Princess's residence down with you!"

In the snow.

Enraged and trembling, Liu Chen brandished his whip, glaring as he lashed out at Liu Tian, ​​whose face was bruised and swollen. The pain contorted Liu Tian's expression.

"Father! Please stop hitting him!!"

Ignoring the pain, Liu Kai ran to Liu Tian and stopped the furious Liu Chen. "Second brother may have misspoke, but he can't withstand being beaten like this!"

"Get out of the way!!"

Liu Chen raised his whip, glaring angrily at Liu Kai, and said, "Otherwise, I'll beat you too!"

"Father!!"

"Big brother, get out of the way and let him hit you!!"

Liu Kai was about to try to persuade him, but Liu Tian pushed him away. Liu Tian glared at Liu Chen and said, "You'd better kill me, so I don't have to put up with this!"

"You're acting all aggrieved!"

Liu Chen was furious and raised his whip to lash Liu Tian. "If it weren't for their father fighting bravely on the battlefield, risking his life to protect our Great Yu state, you would have been long gone by now."

"You look down on the Imperial Guards!"

As he spoke, Liu Chen angrily slapped Liu Tian.

"I don't look down on them!"

Liu Tian, ​​who was being whipped, glared and shouted, "But people's fates are different!! This is an indisputable fact. My mother is the eldest princess of the Great Yu Dynasty, the eldest daughter of the founding emperor!!"

"The Emperor summoned us to the palace to serve as imperial guards, which means he wants to win over the princesses' residences. Where did I go wrong in what I said?"

"If a problem truly arises in the imperial court, are we, who are used to being pampered and spoiled, to solve it instead of relying on them? We're simply not cut out for that!!"

Hearing what Liu Tian said, Liu Chen became even angrier.

That's true.

But it also depends on when you say it.

Initially, Liu Chen did not take the Imperial Guard seriously. In his view, it was just a means for the emperor to win people over. What kind of trouble could these orphans and even the children of disabled soldiers cause?

They're just a bunch of greenhorns.

Until that night, when he met the emperor at the Imperial Clan Court and saw the group of people who came with the emperor, Liu Chen knew one thing: the Imperial Guards were different.

Even Liu Chen noticed that in the emperor's heart, the Imperial Guards were definitely ranked above the Imperial Guards. This was because every member of the Imperial Guards was worthy of the emperor's trust.

In this respect, the Imperial Guards are no match for the Imperial Feathered Guards.

With this premise, the newly formed Imperial Guard is nothing!

Of all the princesses in Yudu, whether they were elders or peers, how many could catch the emperor's eye?

The root of Liu Chen's transformation lies in that night at the Imperial Clan Court, and everything that happened afterward only exacerbated Liu Chen's panic.

Because he simply couldn't fathom the emperor.

"Repaying a life is not the same as living a life!"

Enraged, Liu Chen tightened his grip even more, shouting, "Ten Imperial Guards are no match for one Imperial Guard! Where did all your cleverness go?!"

"Father!! Stop hitting him!!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Kai knelt down on the ground and hugged Liu Chen, saying, "Second Brother is already injured. If you keep hitting him like this, he will really die!"

"Big brother, don't stop him! Let him hit him!!"

Liu Tian forced a smile and stubbornly looked at Liu Chen, saying, "It's not like I dismissed you as Grand Master of the Imperial Clan. If you're angry, don't take it out on me. If you've got the guts, come at me..."

"Shut up!!"

But before Liu Tian could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a reprimand.

Chu Jin, who had just returned to the manor, walked over quickly with a grim expression.

"Mother~"

"Mother~"

Liu Kai and Liu Tian turned around, and the moment they saw Chu Jin, Liu Tian's eyes reddened. He felt very wronged. He had only muttered something and was beaten up in the Daxing Hall. He hadn't beaten up the Imperial Guards, but when he got back to the mansion, before he could even get treatment, he was beaten up again.

slap~

A crisp sound rang out, and Liu Tian knelt there in a daze.

His eyes were somewhat vacant as he looked at Chu Jin in disbelief.

"You dare to discuss matters of state in private!"

Chu Jin suppressed her anger and glared at Liu Tian, ​​who was kneeling on the ground.

"Mother."

Liu Kai was somewhat shocked; he never expected that his mother would hit his second younger brother.

"Get out of here!!"

Chu Jin said sternly, "If you dare to hear these words from me again, or if I find out that you are talking nonsense in the palace, then get out of the mansion!!"

"Princess."

Now, Liu Chen looked at Chu Jin with surprise.

"You come with me."

Chu Jin'e frowned slightly, then pulled Liu Chen and walked towards the main hall.

Has something else gone wrong?

Liu Chen thought to himself subconsciously.

squeak~

Before Liu Chen could react, Chu Jin pushed him into the main hall, then turned and closed the door. Before Liu Chen could think further, Chu Jin frowned and turned away.

"Is there something you're hiding from me?"

Chu Jin's words made Liu Chen's heart tighten.

"No."

Liu Chenqiang steadied himself and met Chu Jin's gaze.

"Really not?"

Chu Jin narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Not really."

Liu Chen affirmed, "Besides finding courtesans..."

"Don't mention the songstress!!"

Chu Jin was furious and glared at Liu Chen, saying, "You better not be hiding anything from me. Do you know what happened to me when I came back from Anle's place?"

"what's up?"

Liu Chen said subconsciously.

"Those who were expelled from the Northern Army by Han Qing got drunk and caused trouble, clashing with Tiande Gate!!" Chu Jin said coldly, "Someone took advantage of the chaos and shot and killed two Tiande Gate guards!"

"what?!"

Liu Chen was shocked and looked at Chu Jin in disbelief.

That's pretty cool!

That's pretty cool!

Liu Chen's hand trembled slightly.

"Tell me now, what exactly did those two memorials you took earlier say!" Seeing Liu Chen's reaction, Chu Jin pressed him for an answer.

"I find myself increasingly unable to understand this capital city and the central government. Why was your position as Grand Master of the Imperial Clan removed now, when you were dismissed earlier or later? And it was my sister-in-law who dismissed you. Did you offend Xu Chu?"

"No."

Liu Chen frowned and said, "This matter is not as you think."

"Is that what I'm thinking?"

Chu Jin said in a low voice, "You still don't intend to tell me?!"

"Princess, please don't ask anymore."

Liu Chen sighed softly, "There are some things you'd better not know. I need to think about this matter carefully." With that, Liu Chen handed the whip in his hand to Chu Jin, then turned and walked away.

Chu Jin frowned as she held the whip.

Her intuition told her that things were definitely not simple.

What alarmed Chu Jin the most was that the situation was changing too fast and too suddenly. The key was that there were too many things she couldn't understand, and all of this started with that person's return to the palace.

She wasn't interested in anything at the central government's affairs, but now, some things and some upheavals had intentionally or unintentionally involved Liu Chen, which made it impossible for her to sit idly by.

Just like when she went to see Anle today, her niece, to find out some information, but she came back and encountered this kind of thing. How could she not overthink it?
