Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 236 Return the property to its original owner?

Zhao Qi'an had no idea what kind of discussion the two most supreme people in the Daqian Dynasty were having about him.

And if he knew about the conversation in the Yangxin Palace, he would probably find it both ridiculous and sad.

In fact, the Donghai Zhao family is not that complicated. The only person at the helm from beginning to end is Zhao Qi'an!
As for the "mysterious strong man" who followed him to break the capital of Dongyang Kingdom, he was not Zhao Qi'an's elder, but his first adopted son - Zhao Wushuang!

Zhao Wushuang is unrivaled in the world!
It is precisely because Zhao Wushuang temporarily left Zhao Qi'an that Zhao Qi'an now has so many constraints in doing things.

The most important reason why Emperor Tianwu had such a big misunderstanding about Zhao Qi'an was that Zhao Qi'an was too young.

He was ordered to come to the capital at the age of eighteen, and now he is only twenty-eight years old. It is hard to imagine that an eighteen-year-old boy would become the feared King of the East China Sea.

However, no matter how His Majesty and the Imperial Master misunderstood each other, Zhao Qi'an had no way of knowing it now.

After meeting the second prince in Chengping Palace, Zhao Qi'an returned home.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion, Gou Xiangxi was seen standing in front of the gate from afar, looking out with his head tilted.

"Mr. Gou."

Zhao Qi'an pulled aside the curtain, stuck his head out and called out.

Gou Xiangxi immediately looked in the direction of the voice, and after seeing Zhao Qi'an, he quickly lifted his clothes and walked over.

The carriage stopped, Zhao Qi'an got off and walked towards the mansion gate.

Gou Xiangxi hid his hands in his sleeves, hunched over and followed behind Zhao Qi'an, walking towards the mansion gate together.

Zhao Qi'an glanced at Gou Xiangxi, who was half a body behind him, and asked, "Mr. Gou, are you not busy today?"

Gou Xiangxi smiled bitterly and said, "Master, please don't make fun of me. You have slaughtered all the offerings of our family. I thought that Master would need me, so I came to your house in advance to wait for orders."

He paused for a moment, turned his head and looked at the carriage behind him that was driven to the backyard, then retracted his gaze and asked, "Master, have you just returned from the palace? I heard from the people in the mansion that someone from the palace just now came and hurriedly summoned you to the palace."

Zhao Qi'an nodded: "The Second Prince's people."

Gou Xiangxi was a little worried: "Are you okay?"

"Since the baby in the imperial concubine's belly is safe, I am naturally fine. This time I entered the palace only to give an explanation to the Second Prince, and also to let the Second Prince give me an explanation."

Zhao Qi'an paused for a moment, then explained to Gou Xiangxi what he was planning and what happened after he entered the palace and met the second prince.

After Gou Xiangxi heard this, he hissed softly and looked at Zhao Qian'an in disbelief: "If the boss only wanted to give the second prince an explanation, why didn't he leave it to me?"

He was extremely puzzled by Zhao Qi'an's entry into the palace today.

This...is totally not Zhao Dongjia's style.

Now that the opportunity has not arrived at all, it stands to reason that Zhao Dongjia should continue to endure and lie dormant.

Gou Xiangxi thought about it and figured out something. He asked cautiously, "Could it be that you want to use the Second Prince to deal with the old patriarch?"

But this time, his idea was wrong.

Zhao Qi'an sneered and shook his head: "Why should I rely on others for some household matters?"

No matter what wrongs Zhao Wanjin did, he was still his biological father in this life. There needed to be some respect between father and son. How could he allow outsiders to interfere in the internal affairs of the Zhao family?

What's more...if he wants to take back the "power" from Zhao Wanjin, why does he need help from others?

Gou Xiangxi lowered his head, looking puzzled. After a long moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "This time, I don't understand what the boss means by this move."

Zhao Qi'an stopped and turned around.

He looked deeply at the tall square tower building on the east side of the palace and sighed, "Things are different now."

Gou Xiangxi, who had also stopped, couldn't help but look in the direction Zhao Qi'an was looking after hearing these words.

But he was short and his vision was blocked by the eaves of the courtyard wall, so he couldn't see what was over there. He could only turn his head to look at Zhao Qian'an in confusion.

Zhao Qi'an didn't explain much, and walked towards his own courtyard, leaving only one sentence:
"There's no need to be so careful in the future."

These words made Gou Xiangxi stand there in a daze, his eyes widening.

There are so many profound meanings contained in this sentence!
When Gou Xiangxi came to his senses, he noticed that Zhao Qi'an had disappeared, and hurriedly followed him: "Boss, wait for me."

……

The next day is dawn.

As soon as the sky was getting light, Zhao Qi'an got up early and started doing morning exercises in the yard.

In the past few months, his life seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes. Now he has come into the eyes of some important figures and is no longer the marginal prince consort who is unknown and ignored by everyone.

But nothing seemed to have changed in his life. Even though he had just gone out of the city to kill someone yesterday and then went into the palace to confront the prince, and was busy all day, he still got up before dawn today, and his self-discipline was terrifying.

Zhao Qi'an had just practiced sword in the yard for a while when he was interrupted by Luan Nu who came hurriedly.

Luan Nu had obviously just been called out of bed. She came to see Zhao Qian'an with her hair messy and without having time to tidy it up.

In the past, before she came to see Zhao Qi'an, she would secretly comb her hair, put some powder on her face, and dye her lips a little red. She would not appear in front of Zhao Qi'an until she was dressed up beautifully.

But today she didn't even care about her own image, which shows how hastily the news came.

"Benefactor."

Luan Nu came to Zhao Qian'an and bowed hastily, with a hint of anxiety on her face: "As soon as the curfew was over this morning, the palace sent someone to deliver something to your house. I dared to open it and take a look... You'd better go and see it yourself."

Zhao Qi'an frowned slightly.

He raised the sword in his hand, and with a casual wave of his hand, the sword inserted into the empty scabbard on the weapon rack beside him.

"Dang!~"

The scabbard shook a few times, making a melodious sword sound.

Zhao Qi'an turned sideways and said to Luan Nu, who was still in a daze, "Take me to see it."

Luan Nu came to her senses and hurriedly made way: "Yes, Master, follow me!"

……

Zhao Qi'an came to the front hall and soon saw two boxes placed on the tea table in the front hall.

One of the black boxes was recognizable at a glance as the one he had sent to the palace for the second prince yesterday.

Even if Zhao Qi'an didn't open it, he knew what was in the box.

As for the other box, the moment it was opened, myriad green clouds burst out, and a rich fragrance filled the entire room.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a palm-sized green seedling, rooted in a light green, glowing fluorite.

That is... the seedling of the Wudao tea tree!
