Chu Qilin had a stern expression on his face and walked forward with his head held high.

The prince couldn't see Qi Lin's face clearly, but he felt that the man was very imposing and made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Come here, quickly arrest this bold lunatic."

The eunuchs and guards on duty outside the Wuji Palace rushed in quickly, ready to capture Chu Qilin.

Chen Feiyang and Xia Chuyao immediately protected him.

"I wonder who dares to touch me!" Chu Qilin looked at the guards and eunuchs coldly.

Ni Hongzhen shouted, "Hurry up and drag him away! Hurry up!"

Zhu Yizhen said: "Can't you tell who he is? Let's see who dares to make a move."

Chu Qilin came closer and closer, and the prince gradually saw his face clearly.

In horror, he pointed at Chu Qilin and said, "Father, come quickly, come quickly, drag this assassin out for me."

Chu Feng blocked the guards in front of him and said, "He is not an assassin, he is our father. Your Highness, look carefully, he is our father!"

The prince was so frightened that his face turned pale and he fell to his knees. "Take him away, take him away. He is not my father, not..."

All the ministers present opened their eyes wide and their mouths opened.

What is going on?

Su Qiuyue stood up and shouted, "Why don't you kneel down quickly? The emperor is back."

Before she finished speaking, she was the first to kneel down on the ground, shouting: "Long live the emperor."

All of a sudden, a large number of ministers knelt down. They had seen clearly that the person in front of them was none other than the emperor.

Yun Lie, Ni Hongzhen and other princelings looked gloomy.

They all looked at the prince, hoping that he would be tougher and drag this impostor away.

To their disappointment, the prince fell to the ground in fear, mumbling something.

Yun Lie winked at the prince.

The prince came to his senses, quickly got up from the ground, and shouted: "Catch the assassin, catch the assassin!"

Chu Qilin was so angry that his beard was about to stand up. He walked forward and kicked the prince: "Rebellious son, do you want to kill your father?"

Seeing that the situation could not be resolved, the prince squeezed out a few tears from his eyes, hugged Chu Qilin's thighs with snot and tears, and said: "Father, you are back. I miss you day and night."

Chu Qilin kicked the prince away with a look of disgust.

Unexpectedly, the prince stuck to him again like chewing gum.

"Father, I was wrong. I didn't see you clearly just now and mistook you for an assassin. Father, will you forgive me?"

"roll!"

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Yun Lie and others had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow to welcome the real emperor.

Chu Qilin sat on the golden dragon throne, ignoring the prince crying at his feet, and said loudly: "The prince is arrogant, and his position as regent is not good. He will be locked up in the prince's mansion and no visit is allowed."

The ministers all shouted "Long live the emperor" three times and did not dare to raise any objection.

Several guards dragged the prince out of Wuji Palace. The court suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Chu Feng stepped forward and said, "Father, Li Bangquan is an honest and upright person. He would never be corrupt. I hope your Majesty will investigate this matter."

"The case of Li Bangquan will be handed over to the three courts for trial. I will personally supervise it. If I find out that this is a false accusation, hmph."

Chu Qilin glanced at Ni Hongzhen and Yun Lie.

The two of them only felt a shock in their hearts, and a chill rose from their feet, making them shudder.

"I've been recuperating outside, and now I'm in good health, but some people don't want me to come back."

The ministers said, "We dare not."

"It's best if I don't dare. Now that I'm back, I'll report on state affairs again."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When several old ministers saw the emperor return safely, their eyes filled with tears.

This chaotic court is finally going to see the light of day again.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report. There is a flood in Chunbei County..."

Su Qiuyue listened to the ministers and the emperor's discussion with boredom, and gradually she felt her eyelids drooping.

It's not that she doesn't care about state affairs, but she feels overwhelmed by all those professional things like military expenditure, garrison, budget, etc.

It’s better to be an ordinary person with money and free time.

Suddenly, she heard Chu Qilin say her name.

Su Qiuyue was startled and pricked up her ears to listen.

"Su Qiuyue is smart and clever. Not only did she treat my illness, she also escorted me all the way to Leyuan City. Her contribution is outstanding. I hereby confer the title of Princess Hemin on Su Qiuyue."

"What?" Su Qiuyue's brain didn't react for a moment.

Is she a princess?

Just when she was confused, Chu Feng stepped forward and said, "Father, please think twice. Although Miss Su has made contributions to you, she has not made any extraordinary achievements. The several princesses from other families that have been canonized in our dynasty have all made outstanding military achievements, served the emperor well, or made contributions to the country, and are deeply loved by the people. Miss Su only escorted you back to the city, how can she easily get the title of princess?"

Chu Feng actually had selfish motives. If Su Qiuyue became a princess, she would be her sister in name only.

Since she is my younger sister, it would be difficult to keep her by my side.

Su Qiuyue echoed, "Your Majesty, I am terrified. It is my duty to escort Your Majesty back to the palace. It is not a merit. I hope Your Majesty will take back your order."

She doesn't want to be a princess.

If she became a princess, she would have to serve the emperor, and she might even have to marry into a foreign kingdom, but she didn't want to do that.

The right way is to be a rich man without worries.

The emperor looked at Chu Feng with surprise. What's wrong with this kid?

Su Qiuyue is a treasure. If Dayi wants to develop, he has to rely on her to impart knowledge.

I have to keep her no matter what. If I let her leave, Dayi will lose a rare talent in a century!

Chu Qilin cleared his throat and continued, "Alright, Su Qiuyue has protected me through life and death many times, and she is worthy of the title of princess. I have made up my mind, so don't say anything."

Su Qiuyue had no choice but to kowtow to express her gratitude.

Chu Feng, on the other hand, looked melancholy.

At this moment, he was secretly thinking about what means he should use to make Su Qiuyue stay by his side openly.

"I am tired, let's retire!"

"Yes."

Su Qiuyue, in a daze, followed the ministers and walked out of the Wuji Palace.

Chu Feng came to her and pulled him into his carriage.

"Congratulations on becoming the princess of Dayi!"

Su Qiuyue smiled wryly and said, "I am happy for you."

Tsk, who wants to be this princess?

It's not like she has no money. Half of the Qin family's fortune belongs to her.

She would rather take the money and live a carefree life than stay in this palace and experience the intrigue and bloodshed.

"Hey, Chu Feng, do you think the emperor will send me out to marry?"

"No." Even if the emperor wanted to send Su Qiuyue away, he would not agree.

"Don't lie to me. Didn't Chu Menglan go out to marry? She's lucky enough to come back alive and safe."

Chu Feng looked into Su Qiuyue's eyes and said, "I swear, if I were in power, I would never ask a woman to marry."

"What a courage! The emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies for the country."

"What a great saying! The emperor guards the country's borders, and the king dies for the country. Our Dayi emperor will definitely guard the country's borders tightly."
