In the Qinzheng Palace, the monarchs and ministers were discussing the matter of establishing a crown prince. On the imperial road of the imperial city, Yan Yun and his troops had already greeted Yan Li.

The more people there are, the bigger the formation will be.

Yan Yun couldn't get close to Yan Li at all, because when 놛 led the troops and tried to get closer, Qin Shiyuan had already led the Black Phoenix Army to stand in front of Yan Li.

The current situation is a bit like a confrontation between two armies.

Yan Li sat on the horseback, looking at Yan Yun expressionlessly from a distance, his eyes cold and full of coercion: "Did the Eighth Prince come specially to greet me?"

"...Yes." A very unnatural smile appeared on Yan Yun's face, "I heard that the emperor's sister was assassinated on the road. I have been having trouble sleeping and eating these days. I heard that there are traitors and sycophants in the palace, so I mobilized some Gyeonggi guards to escort her, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief that the imperial sister can return safely."

Yan Shu's tone was indifferent, and she did not distinguish between joy and anger: "I have the capital guard talisman in my hand. Brother Eighth Emperor has no military talisman but he can mobilize troops. Do you know what the crime is?"

Yan Yun's expression froze, and he forced a smile: "Sister Huang, I have no choice but to do this -"

"Even if it is a military talisman, arranging troops without authorization can be regarded as a conspiracy." Yan Li interrupted him coldly, "Brother Eight Emperors' behavior, I have thought about it, but I can't think of a way to excuse it for you. reason.”

"Although I am here to protect my brother, my behavior is really inappropriate." Yan Yun smiled slightly, nodded slowly, and raised a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, "As long as my father, the emperor, and the empress are safe, and my sister is safe, as a brother Die without regrets.”

"In that case," Yan Li turned around and ordered, "Come here and capture the Eighth Prince!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Black Phoenix Army on the left, front, and back all raised their bows and arrows and pointed them at Yan Yun. The sharp arrows glowed with cold light, and the atmosphere was about to explode.

The Jingji guards behind Yan Yun also subconsciously wanted to resist, but when they touched Yan Li's cold face and the strong pressure in those intimidating eyes, everyone's movements seemed to be suddenly frozen, and they all froze. Don't dare to move.

Eight Black Phoenix troops came out and asked Yan Yun to dismount.

Yan Yun was silent, he came in the name of welcoming the eldest princess, and he admitted that his behavior was inappropriate, and he would not complain no matter what punishment he received.

If 꿯 resists now, he will undoubtedly be slapped in the face, not to mention that 놛 has no strength to resist anymore.

Yan Yun hid the cold dissatisfaction in his eyes, got off the horse without saying a word, and was immediately captured by the Black Phoenix Army.

"Enter the palace." Yan Li kicked the horse's belly with both feet, "Drive!"

The mighty Black Phoenix Army went straight to the palace and stopped outside the palace gate.

Yan Li jumped off the horse neatly and walked to the Qinzheng Palace. The Black Phoenix Army escorted Yan Yun and followed Yan Li to the Qinzheng Palace.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has returned to the palace!" The high-pitched and feminine voice of the chamberlain sounded, with obvious excitement, "Emperor 껗! Emperor 껗! Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is back! The eldest princess is escorting the eighth prince!"

"Quickly, please come in, eldest princess." Emperor Wen stood up excitedly and personally greeted him outside the palace, "Li'er! Li'er!"

Jiang Yi was greeted by all the civil and military officials. Looking at Yan Li from a distance, Jiang Yi breathed a long sigh of relief.

Qin Shiyuan followed Yan Li, and behind them was a group of Black Phoenix Army. Yan Yun had four people holding swords on his neck, and he looked particularly embarrassed.

Emperor Wen's eyes fell on 놛's face, and before Yan Li could speak, he coldly ordered: "Come here! Drag the eighth prince over and beat him fifty with the stick first. I will settle other accounts with 놛 later!"

After leaving these words, 놛 returned directly to the palace, obviously not intending to listen to Yan Yun's excuse.

"Father!" Yan Yun shouted in a hiss, "I have no plans! Everything I did was to protect the palace, the imperial city, and the safety of my father and mother! Even if it arouses my father's wrath, Misunderstanding, I have no grudges, I have no grudges!”

Xuan Nanfeng didn't care whether he complained or not. He raised his hand to signal, and the dignified eighth prince was roughly restrained by the imperial guards and forced to the ground in Chundeng.

The heavy board came down with a crackling sound, without any leakage. Each blow was like smashing the life into two pieces.

Yan Yun's face turned pale, his eyes felt dizzy, and he almost wanted to die immediately from the pain.

"I am very relieved that the eldest princess has returned safely." Emperor Wen stepped into the palace gate and immediately ordered, "Proclaim Nanfeng, the imperial army will be readjusted, and the palace will return to normal order."

Xuannan Feng glanced coldly at Yan Yun, who was in pain, and turned around to respectfully receive the order: "I obey the order, I will make arrangements right now."

Emperor Wen ordered the chief chamberlain: "Inform the imperial kitchen to prepare a richer lunch on 꿷日. I will take care of the eldest princess!"

"I obey the order. I will inform you immediately."

Yan Li stood expressionlessly at the foot of the palace steps, looking coldly at Yan Yun who was being tortured.

The officials headed by Prime Minister Ji all knelt down and said, "I am here to see Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and welcome her return. May the Eldest Princess live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"

Just as Yan Li was opening her mouth, Jiang Yi came quickly, walked up to her in two steps and gave her a tight hug: "Li'er, Li'er, it's great that you're okay! I'm almost dying of worry. , you’re okay, it’s really...it’s great..."

Yan Li was hugged by her quietly, feeling the queen's true emotions.

The Empress, who looked strong and calm on the surface, now tightened her arms and her body was shaking slightly. She was obviously also scared, fearing that her daughter, who had finally been reunited with her, might have an accident on the road.

After a moment of silence, Yan Li raised his hand and patted her back gently: "I'm fine."

"It'll be good to come back." Jiang Yi quickly calmed down her emotions and took the initiative to let go of Yan Li. Her eyes were red but she smiled and said, "It'll be good to come back."

Yan Li smiled faintly: "Don't worry."

"Um."

"My lords, please get up." Yan Li looked at the people who were still kneeling on the ground, climbed up the steps, and walked into the palace, "I have heard about what happened in the palace. You have all worked hard these days."

Everyone hurriedly said: "I have my fair share of responsibilities, so I won't have to work hard."

Outside the hall, Yan Yun screamed in pain. Even if he tried his best to show his strength, there were very few people who could endure the severe punishment.

I couldn't hold it back even if I wanted to, so I could only express my loyalty and grievances one after another.

"My son and I have no grudges, my sons and my ministers have no grudges." 놛 was lying on the spring stool, his nails bleeding from the pain, "As long as my father, the emperor, and my queen are safe, my sons and ministers will have no grudges no matter what punishment they receive..."

"What does the emperor plan to do with Yan Yun?" Prime Minister Ji spoke first, thinking that Emperor Wen was soft and just wanted to beat him with a cane, "This time the Eighth Prince's behavior is really——"

"Buying the lieutenant general of the Gyeonggi Guard, deploying troops privately, and committing treason is a capital crime." Emperor Wen said in a cold tone, "Whoever dares to intercede for 놛 will be regarded as an ally."

As soon as the words fell, the ministers who were speaking immediately shut up and did not dare to speak.

Emperor Wen sat down on the chair and gently closed his eyes: "Concubine De is disrespectful and has no way to teach her son. In consideration of her kindness in serving me for so many years, I gave her a white silk ribbon. There is no need to come here to express my gratitude."
