C126

The next morning, Zhen Feng's voice came from outside the inner room.

"Your majesty, it's about time for the imperial court to begin."

Tuoba Yu opened his eyes in annoyance. He couldn't bear to let go of the warm, fragrant jade in his arms no matter what. He frowned and said with a voice that still had a hint of sand left in it, "I'm not going!"

Zhen Lei was waiting outside the hall for quite a while before he suddenly frowned. This was the first time the emperor had ever been injured, and also … It was still for a woman. This definitely wasn't a good sign.

Ye Zichen pursed his lips and didn't say anything else.

Just as he was about to go to the Hall of Acceptance to inform the ministers, he saw that a certain emperor had walked out from the inner chamber in clothes. He was tall and straight, valiant and valiant.

Zhen Feng's eyes lit up. "Your Majesty …"

Tuoba Yu frowned and waved his hand, "Let's go, to the court!"

Zhen Jian hurriedly nodded his head and retreated behind him.

When Tuoba Yu stepped out of the entrance, he turned to look at the interior of the hall.

It had been so easy for her to open her heart to him this time. If she knew that he had actually come to court for her sake, she would definitely be very worried.

However … He didn't want to be separated from her at all.

Her phoenix eyes widened. It would be great if she could keep her in her arms!

The Dojo of Limits.

Tuoba was dressed in an Agate Golden Five Clawed Golden Dragon Bright Yellow Dress, his head was covered with an Inscription Jade crown, and he sat high on the Crimson Dragon Golden Seat. His two hands rested on the dragon head's seat, his ten fingers tapping lightly on the air in impatience as he listened to the imperial court officials present the imperial report, mostly for the destruction of the Hua Shuo Sect, as well as the return of the 100,000 elite troops.

After Zhen Feng finished reading, he could not help but sneer.

Although the ministers did not state that their intention was above a hundred thousand elite soldiers, each of the memorials was written about who had done the most important things, how outstanding their abilities, and how they had served the Eastern Tomb Dynasty to the fullest.

The ministers were divided into three groups, one group being the General Protector Jia Zhen, the other being the loyal Marquis Qi Mu Jing, and the last group being King Tuoba Sen, who had yet to return to the kingdom.

The matter of military power was something that could be resolved with a single word from this Emperor. However, this Emperor had spread the news through the court. He had a few candidates that he really liked, but he still had to consider them.

With this thought, a few factions within the imperial court were forced out!

However, Tuoba Yu seemed relaxed and nonchalant. His phoenix-like eyes swept across the hall as he said in a clear voice, "We have long heard about the matters played by the ministers."

His gaze fell on Jia Zhen.

At this time, Jia Zhen was already over a hundred years old and had a head full of white hair. He was probably a veteran soldier, yet his body was still robust and strong.

"Old Jia has been leading troops for the Eastern Tomb Dynasty since the beginning. He has made many meritorious deeds. With the glory of the Eastern Tomb Dynasty today, Old Jia can't help but to contribute meritorious deeds."

When Jia Zhen heard this, he frowned and knelt down with his robe raised. He cupped his hands and said, "This is my duty and it is not worth mentioning. Furthermore, the present situation of the Eastern Tomb Dynasty relied on the Emperor's talent compared to the Emperor's, and it exhausted all of its efforts. "

Tuoba Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Elder Jia, please get up. As all the ministers and officials have seen, I also know this very well. " "In recent years, the King of Southern Cliffs has adhered to the Wilderness and protected the people of the northern border. His ability has made the people of the small tribes of the borderlands retreat, and he has also made a great contribution by standing up for our Eastern Tomb Empire."

Tuoba Sen was still dressed in his mink robe today. When he heard his words, he lowered his eyes and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He could not conceal the hatred in his voice as he said respectfully, "This humble subject is responsible."

Tuoba Yu didn't say anything more. In the end, his gaze swept over to Qi Mujing, who was standing quietly at the head of the ministers.

Xiao Chen frowned and narrowed his eyes. He then turned his gaze to the hall. Although his gaze was flat, it made people feel as though he was looking at himself.

The court immediately stopped talking.

"The Fourteenth Prince of the Proclamation of Liberation!" Tuoba Yu suddenly said in a clear voice.

The moment his words left his mouth, His Highness immediately became noisy, until he was summoned to swagger in through the door of the hall.

Only then did the other ministers shudder.

Lian Li seemed to be very satisfied with this scene. He raised his eyebrows, cupped his hands around his waist, and said, "Lian Li will participate in the imperial palace."

Tuoba Yu squinted his eyes and looked at Zhen Feng.

Zhen Feng nodded his head and opened the yellow case file in his hand, raising his voice. "Fourteenth Prince, you are extremely talented. You are young and have extraordinary capabilities. You are given the special title of King Jing. You will lead a hundred thousand elite soldiers to protect the peace of the Imperial City."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the box with the tiger print on it from the eunuch's table and left.

A complex look flashed across Xiao Budian's eyes and his slightly raised eyebrows instantly tightened. When Zhen Feng arrived in front of him, he looked suspiciously at the Tiger Seal in the embroidered box and did not accept it.

Zhen Feng froze for a moment before reminding him, "King Zhuo …"

Lian Li raised his head and looked at him once before landing on Tuoba Yu, who was sitting on a high seat. He suddenly curled his lips and took the Tiger Seal from Zhen Feng's hands. Only then did he lift his clothes and kneel down, "Lian Li, thank you, master!"

The moment he took over the Tiger Seal, the ministers of the court did not mind and dared not to say a word.

No one forgot what happened three years ago.

This Fourteenth Prince actually held a sharp blade and barged into the empress dowager's palace. If the emperor hadn't arrived in time, the empress dowager would have already died tragically at his hands.

In retrospect, the relationship between the empress dowager and Lian Huang was something that her mufei used to publicly challenge the empress dowager with the tiger print. In the end, the empress dowager publicly bestowed upon her death in front of this Hall of Acceptance.

And today, although the Tiger Seal was not the same one from back then, when the Emperor handed it to him, some of the officials who knew what had happened all had worried looks on their faces, but none of them dared to say anything.

After all, the Fourteenth Prince had dared to kill the empress dowager back then, so all of them shut their mouths.

Tuoba Sen's lips curved into a strange smile as he saw Lian Lian Dong receive the tiger mark. His eyes were bloodshot.

In comparison, Qi Mujing seemed to have nothing to do with it.

He slowly walked to the center of the hall and bowed, "This humble official has something to do."

The moment he said those words, the ministers thought that he was questioning the decision of some emperor. They immediately opened their eyes wide and held their breaths to listen.

Astonishment flashed across Tuoba's eyes. "Marquis Zhong Lie, be direct with your words."

"This humble subject has been ill recently. Your majesty, please grant me permission to stay at home and recuperate." When he spoke, it was obvious that he was short of breath, as if saying a single sentence would consume a great deal of his strength.

When the ministers heard this, they were immediately disinterested.

Tuoba Sen secretly sneered. The corner of his eyes twitched as he looked at Qi Mujing. He looked much weaker than he had imagined!

Tuoba Yu looked at him deeply before opening his mouth, "Accurate!"

Dragon's Nest.

Shen woke up and found himself in a trance in the Dragon's Nest for a moment.

Rubbing the center of his brows, Zhang Xuan felt as though his body was being crushed by a wheel. He didn't want to move at all.

However, the sticky feeling on his body was extremely uncomfortable. He opened his eyes and looked to his side, but didn't see anyone.

Biting his lips, he saw that the dragon robe hanging on the mahogany rack in front of the bed had disappeared.

She sighed. It seemed like he had already recovered, otherwise he wouldn't have bullied her for so long.

He couldn't help but sigh. Perhaps it was because he had been practicing martial arts for years, but his body's functions were surprisingly good.

Yesterday, he was too weak to stand up, but in a night, he was full of energy again.

Closing his eyes, he sat up from the bed. He touched his sticky neck and frowned. He couldn't sleep anymore like this. He reached out to grab the clothes on the bedside stool and put them on.

When he exited from the inner chamber, he saw Marquis Xiang standing outside the door to the hall.

Seeing her, he walked towards her. "Is Miss hungry? This servant will have someone prepare a meal for you. "

Shen Zhiqiao shook his head. "Let's return to the Soul Orchid Hall. It won't be too late to eat there." All she wanted to do now was take a good bath.

After staring blankly towards the south, he nodded his head.

He thought that after last night, she wouldn't go back to the Soul Orchid Palace.

After returning to the Black Orchid Palace, Shen Zhi Qiao asked Rose to prepare hot water.

Her clothes were taken off and she was comfortably soaking in the wooden bucket. Her hair was tied up high, exposing her pretty neck to the air like a beautiful white swan.

She closed her eyes and leaned lightly against the edge of the bucket.

There was a smile on his lips, as if he was thinking about an extremely happy thing.

Right now, her entire body seemed to be plated with a layer of light, making it impossible for anyone to not see her.

There were light footsteps behind her.

Shen Zhi Qiao's brows twitched. He thought it was Rose, so he didn't say anything. He just lowered his body into the water again. His body was full of traces left behind by someone from last night …

The footsteps came closer and finally stopped behind her.

A pair of hands lightly rested on her exposed shoulder. It was a little hot.

Shen Zhi Qiao shook her body, thinking that it was Rose who helped her clean up, her face turned red, how could she not look, wasn't it a joke?!

So he said, "Rose, just put the hot water down. I don't need anyone to attend to me. I'll do it myself …"

Unexpectedly, the moment she said those words, her hands actually slipped into the water.

She suddenly opened her eyes to look at him, but what she saw instead …

Suddenly, his breathing slowed down and blood rushed to his head. He bellowed, "Ji Lianye!"
