At five o'clock the next day, the emperor ascended to the court, which coincided with the great court meeting held every half a month. In addition to the officials of third rank and above who usually went to court to discuss matters, all officials from the capital, large and small, had to attend.

If there are many people, you should get up earlier to prevent traffic jams on the road and queuing up after entering the palace to take up too much time.

Therefore, the genius was bright, and all the civil and military officials were already waiting in line outside Chengtian Hall.

It was rare for Chu Xuan that no one urged him to get up today. He got up early on his own initiative and scolded the palace staff for being slow.

When he arrived at the Chengtian Hall, he stood in front of the hall in high spirits and accepted the obeisances of the officials with excitement, before entering the hall and ascending to the throne.

As usual, the imperial meeting should be held outside, but it was too cold outside. Even if he had high morale, he couldn't stand the howling north wind.

Ge Lao He Pingchuan and Xiao Ge Lao He Yunjie stood closest to the emperor. When the emperor entered the palace, they followed him on the left and right.

Chu Xuan did not let the eunuch support him, but pretended to hold He Pingchuan's hand affectionately, and discussed with him as he walked: "Uncle, regarding yesterday's rumors, I still feel that it is inappropriate. I plan to have Prince Jingnan and his wife summoned. Come and ask me in person, what does uncle think?"

He Pingchuan was slightly startled when he heard this, and then said: "I have already said that those rumors are all nonsense. Don't take it to heart. Why doesn't Your Majesty just listen?"

"I don't want to care about him, but after all, it concerns Emperor Gaozu. If I don't ask clearly, I will always feel uneasy."

Although Chu Xuan's tone was solicitous, his attitude was very determined, and he had a stubbornness to achieve his goal.

Except for beauty, He Pingchuan had not seen his nephew so focused on one thing for many years.

I heard that after he left Ci'an Palace yesterday, he went directly to Chaoyun Palace. It seems that Princess Jingnan had a great influence on him.

He doesn’t know what Princess Jingnan taught him this time.

He Pingchuan thought to himself and subconsciously looked at his son.

He Yunjie thought it didn't matter, King Jingnan was always coming anyway, so coming early would avoid wasting time due to a temporary summons.

If he wasn't afraid of anyone being suspicious, he would have wanted King Jingnan to come and wait in advance.

"Since Your Majesty has this intention, let's follow Your Majesty and let Prince Jingnan and his wife come for a visit!" He Yunjie suggested. He was also curious about what tricks the woman wanted to play.

When He Pingchuan saw what he said, he stopped insisting and acquiesced to Chu Xuan's request.

Chu Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief after achieving his first goal, and immediately ordered his personal eunuch to summon Prince Jingnan and his wife in person.

Looking at his expression, He Pingchuan always felt that he seemed very excited. Even though he was trying his best to restrain himself, some emotions still showed up inadvertently.

What is he excited about?

He Pingchuan was slightly uneasy. In order to avoid any complications, when Chu Xuan entered the main hall and sat down on the dragon chair, and when all the officials paid homage to the emperor again, he whispered to He Yunjie to inform the person waiting outside the palace to send the battle report the time. In advance, there is no need to wait until the memorial is over before reporting.

It would be best to catch King Jingnan by surprise just before he enters the palace.

He Yunjie took the order and made a gesture to an eunuch standing in the corner of the hall.

The eunuch understood and immediately quietly retreated out of the palace.

However, before he could walk out of the hall, someone shouted loudly outside the hall door: "King Jingnan, Princess Jingnan has an audience!"

He Pingchuan and He Yunjie were both shocked and looked outside the hall at the same time.

How did it take so long for people to arrive?

You can't fly so fast if you have wings, right?

Unless they had been waiting somewhere in the palace.

It seems that these two couples are really going to cause trouble.

He Pingchuan also wanted King Jingnan to wait outside the palace for the time being and wait for the courtiers to finish their duties before coming in. However, Chu Xuan looked happy and shouted before him: "Hurry up and let them in!"

The eunuch in front of the palace took the order and loudly announced that King Jingnan and Princess Jingnan were entering the palace.

He Pingchuan's face suddenly darkened.

This emperor is really powerful.

If I had known that one day he would unite with outsiders to fight against me, I should not have been so tolerant to him in the first place.

Seeing his father's unhappy expression, He Yunjie reminded him in a low voice: "Father, don't be anxious, the initiative is in our hands, it doesn't matter if we come early or late..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped when he saw three figures walking side by side.

Isn’t it just King Jingnan and Princess Jingnan? Why is Feng Guanlan here too?

Feng Guanlan, who had mysteriously disappeared since that night, actually appeared at this time with Prince Jingnan and his wife. What were they doing?

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and everyone's eyes fell on the three of them.

King Jingnan wore a formal four-clawed python robe with gold patterns, a gold crown to tie his hair, a jade belt to tie his waist, and black-soled boots. He walked with wind and power.

Princess Jingnan also wore the phoenix pattern robe and phoenix hairpin jade belt prescribed by the princess, with gorgeous makeup and extraordinary bearing.

Even the general manager Feng Guanlan, who had not seen him for a few days, put on the Feiyu suit given by the emperor and was very grandly dressed, but his face was a little pale, as if he had not recovered from a serious illness, and he was a little more morbidly beautiful than usual.

The three of them came side by side, with solemn expressions, unsquinting eyes, and even their steps were surprisingly consistent.

As they approached step by step, the civil and military officials held their breath unconsciously. Although they still didn't know what their intentions were, they could smell an unusual atmosphere just from their posture.

Today's court meeting may not end smoothly, everyone is thinking so in their hearts.

Soon, the three of them walked to the front of the palace and kowtowed to the emperor.

Chu Zhao glanced at He Yunjie who was standing aside and smiled slightly at him.

He Yunjie didn't expect that she would smile at him at this moment, his heart trembled suddenly, and he was panicked for a moment. He quickly calmed down and looked back pretending to be nonchalant.

Chu Xuan sat on the dragon chair, his body trembling slightly with excitement. He spread his hands to both sides and said loudly: "Three beloved ladies, get up and answer."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The three of them thanked each other and stood up. Chu Zhao reached out and gave Feng Guanlan a hand.

He Yunjie frowned slightly, his gaze falling on Feng Guanlan like a knife.

His face was so pale and he had to be helped by others when he stood up. It seemed that he was seriously injured.

It's such a shame that he can't die even if he's injured like this.

Feng Guanlan received his gaze and looked at him with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Ge, are you sorry to see that our family is not dead?"

He Yunjie raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Why can't I understand what Eunuch Feng said?"

"Don't worry, you will understand." Feng Guanlan said.

The few words between the two men were filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and the atmosphere in the entire hall instantly became tense.

Chu Xuan cleared his throat and tried to calm down: "Feng Guanlan, I haven't seen you for several days. Where did you go?"

Feng Guanlan covered his chest and coughed several times, and shocked the whole audience when he opened his mouth: "Back to your majesty, a few days ago He Xiaoge sent people to assassinate Wei Chen. Wei Chen was seriously injured. Fortunately, King Jingnan came to the rescue and recovered one. Order, please make the decision for me, your Majesty, and severely punish the elder Xiaoge."
