Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Emperor Tianqing stood up suddenly, but because he stood up too quickly, he felt dizzy and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Yang Zhao reacted quickly and supported Emperor Tianqing.

Emperor Tianqing was shocked and asked, "How is Prince Xiang?"

Hu Li lowered his head and said, "The messenger who brought back the message said that he was injured, but his life is not in danger."

Emperor Tianqing panted rapidly, his eyes filled with anger and intimidation, "Who is so bold as to assassinate the prince!"

Hu Li lowered his head even lower, and said with trembling lips: "It's... it's Hua Cishu, the junior general of the General's Mansion."

"Boom!" Emperor Tianqing felt a buzzing sound in his head, and his whole body froze instantly. The anger in his heart suddenly stagnated and turned into doubt and confusion.

He understood Hua Cishu, and it could even be said that he understood the entire Hua family.

They are loyal, brave and fearless, and are the patron saints of his Daxing Kingdom. Others would assassinate Prince Thaksin, but Hua Cishu would not. Not to mention that he is a loyal person to the emperor, Prince Xiang is also his brother-in-law.

Brother-in-law!

Emperor Tianqing seemed to have suddenly figured out the key to the problem.

Could it be because Prince Xiang remarried?

However, when the imperial decree for the marriage was issued, no one from the Hua family stood up to oppose it. Why did they suddenly start killing people now?

Emperor Tianqing sat back on the imperial couch. The dizziness in his head had eased a lot. He frowned and asked, "Where is Hua Cishu now?"

"We are already on our way to the palace."

Emperor Tianqing waved his hand to let Hu Li go down, and he leaned one hand on the table to support his splitting headache. This was the last thing he wanted to see.

Although he was afraid of his second son's frequent actions under his nose, he was his biological son after all. He could deal with him, but if others touched him, it would be an offense to his majesty as the emperor.

But the Hua family is also the pillar of the country and cannot be easily touched.

This matter is really tricky to handle. It cannot be taken lightly or seriously, and I also have to give an explanation to the newly married Prime Minister's Mansion and Prince Xiang's Mansion. It's difficult!

Soon, Hua Cishu was tied up by the guards of Prince Xiang's mansion and sent to the palace. When the commander of the imperial guards Zhou Chu saw Hua Cishu, he took the initiative to take over the task of escorting Hua Cishu and untied the ropes in front of the guards of the mansion.

Dao Ji was about to step forward, but was stopped by Zhou Chu's sword, "I will deliver Hua Ci Shu to Your Majesty later."

Dao Ji was just a guard. Facing the powerful commander of the imperial guards, he could only take a step back and watch Hua Ci Shu walk into the palace gate with Zhou Chu's courtesy.

Hua Cishu and Zhou Chu didn't have much friendship. He had stayed at the border for more than ten years. If it weren't for his sister's wedding, he probably would never have left that place in his life.

I didn't expect to encounter such rare kindness within the palace.

He walked behind Zhou Chu and bowed to Zhou Chu to express his gratitude. "Thank you, Commander Zhou. But for what I did, Your Majesty will not let me off easily. In order to avoid implicating Commander Zhou, you'd better tie me up."

Zhou Chu's usually stern face softened a little, "Young General, don't worry. You haven't been convicted yet. I am also following the rules."

Hua Ci Shu didn't say anything more and secretly kept this favor in mind.

Speechless all the way.

Not long after Hua Cishu entered the palace, Prince Xiang Shen Zhaoyan also entered the palace.

He had already changed out of his wedding clothes, and there was no trace of the festive look on his body. There was a cold air around him, and the soldiers lowered their heads wherever he passed.

The wound on his neck had been treated and was wrapped in thick white gauze, covered by a high collar.

Emperor Tianqing sat on the imperial couch, looking at Hua Cishu who had been silent since he came in, and sighed deeply.

He didn't even know what to say.

After a while he asked, "Do you have anything to say to me?"

Hua Cishu knelt straight, his face calm, and said, "I have nothing to say, but I will leave it to your majesty to decide."

What could he say? Assassinating the prince was a capital crime. Emperor Tianqing was willing to listen to his explanation for the sake of his deceased aunt, but that was not what he wanted. He just felt that his sister's death was not worth it, and he just wanted justice for his sister.

Yes, no.

So, what’s the point of explaining more? It’s better to say nothing than to waste your breath.

Emperor Tianqing didn't know what to say. The person who made the mistake didn't even plead for him, no matter how lenient he was.

At this moment, a shrill voice came from the door, "Your Majesty, since he is determined to die, then execute him. Assassinating the prince is a crime that deserves death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling walked in in gorgeous clothes. She came back from Prince Xiang's Mansion and went straight to Mingyi Palace without even changing her clothes, for fear that Emperor Tianqing would show mercy to Hua Cishu.

The harshness and ferocity on her face were clearly visible, and her eyes were full of disgust as she looked at Hua Ci Shu.

Emperor Tianqing looked up at Xiao Ling. He was somewhat displeased with her uninvited visit, but he did not refuse her in the end.

"I will take care of this matter. Go back to your Chaofeng Palace."

When Xiao Ling heard that Emperor Tianqing wanted to drive her away, she immediately became anxious. She looked at Emperor Tianqing with burning eyes, "Your Majesty, someone wants to harm my son. As a mother, I can't just sit back and watch. Hua Cishu dared to assassinate Yan'er openly. He must not be let off easily. And their General's Mansion will be severely punished."

Hearing that Xiao Ling was going to take this opportunity to attack the General's Mansion, the originally calm Hua Cishu suddenly raised his head and looked at her directly, "This is something I did alone, why do you have to involve my General's Mansion? You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you. If you want to touch my General's Mansion, I will definitely return it double!"

Xiao Ling sneered, "Okay, okay, you have guts, but you alone can't take on the serious crime of assassinating the prince. Don't think that I don't know that your father Hua Yingchao must be behind you!"

"Empress, please stop slandering me!"

Hua Ci Shu was a little anxious. Shen Zhaoyan threatened him with the General's Mansion, and Xiao Ling also did the same thing. They were indeed mother and son, with the same sinister intentions, and would not miss any opportunity to discredit their General's Mansion.

Emperor Tianqing was a little impatient, "Okay, do you still take me, the emperor, seriously? Shut up!"

Seeing that Emperor Tianqing was really angry, Xiao Ling gave Hua Ci Shu a fierce look, then turned his head reluctantly and stood aside obediently.

At this time, Hu Li appeared in the hall again. He said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Xiang and the General Guarding the Nation have arrived and are waiting outside."

Emperor Tianqing waved his hand, his voice full of fatigue, "Let them in."

Hu Li responded and ran out swiftly.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as he walked quickly. It was too dangerous. Fortunately, he went in a little later. If he had gone in a little earlier, he might not have been able to come out safely.

Shen Zhaoyan and Hua Yingchou stood on the left and right of the gate of Mingyi Palace. The entire palace gate separated them, like a chasm, clearly dividing them.

Hu Li came out, bowed to the two men, and said, "Your Majesty, please invite the prince and the general in."

Shen Zhaoyan immediately walked into the palace gate coldly. Hua Yingchou bowed to Hu Li and followed him in.

Hu Li nodded in return, looked at the two figures entering, and couldn't help shaking his head.

Once this incident happens, the situation in the court is likely to change again.
