Even Duke of Liang Wan Qi and Concubine Wan, father and daughter, walked up to him with smiles on their faces and affectionately put their arms around the shoulders of the deputy governor of the Western Factory.
The scene was extremely joyous and lively.
On the dragon throne, Emperor Xia was looking at this scene with a complicated expression.
My heart feels empty, as if something is missing.
"Your Majesty, you see, the Fourth Princess is your legitimate daughter, and she successfully subdued the White Dragon, so your Fengshan tonight can be considered a success. We can start the formal moon worship and Fengshan ceremony. Your Majesty, after tonight, you will be the fourth emperor in the history of Daxia to successfully slay a dragon and be enthroned."
Chen Defu, the chief eunuch at the side, said.
"Eunuch Chen, can someone like me really accomplish great things?"
Emperor Xia murmured with disappointment.
Having just been defeated twice by Bai Chi in front of all the officials, he was already feeling a little unconfident.
"Of course! This white dragon fell into madness for no reason, but was eventually tamed by your bloodline, the fourth princess. This is God's will! And you are the chosen one, the true Son of Heaven!"
Chen Defu quickly comforted him.
Emperor Xia nodded, staring at his fourth daughter who was so excited in the sky, and then looked at the young man behind her:
"But this rain in Huai'an"
Chen Defu knew the emperor's intention very well, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about it. Not to mention that all the officials know that the reason why the crazy white dragon was subdued this time was entirely due to the fourth prince's beast taming skills and the suppression of the royal bloodline. The Rain Supervisor was just an auxiliary."
"Even if we take a step back, Lord Yu is a genuine eunuch. What can a eunuch do? Even if we, the eunuchs, have achieved the highest glory in our lives, we are nothing more than slaves under the throne of the emperor."
When he said the last sentence, Chen Defu suddenly sighed.
"Eunuch Chen, how old are you? Have you ever met Taizu?"
Emperor Xia suddenly asked in a cold and gloomy voice.
"This"
After hearing this, Chen Defu was struck by lightning and trembled all over: "Your Majesty, why are you asking this?"
"Eunuch Chen, I am the only one who knows that you are extremely intelligent and your martial arts are not inferior to the two supreme masters of the Qian Department. But do you know why I only dare to trust Liu Jin and not you most of the time?"
"I don't know."
Chen Defu lowered his head, expressionless.
"Because you are, after all, someone sent by Him, and no matter how useless Liu Jin is, he is still my man."
Emperor Xia sighed, and said with lingering fear: "Okay, let's talk business. This year's dragon-slaying ceremony ended in this way. Do you think that "Him" hiding in the dry well in the Zongwuyuan will be satisfied?"
"I think so."
Chen Defu said: "As I said, the Fourth Princess is your Majesty's own flesh and blood. If she kills the dragon, it is the same as you killing the dragon. There is no difference."
“But I’m still a little worried.”
Emperor Xia's gaze fell on the ghostwriter girl who had just saved his life: "This little girl just forced the white dragon back with one sword. This shouldn't be possible. Her cultivation strength is not enough to do this. Could it be that she also has..."
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this."
Chen Defu understood the emperor's intention again and said with a smile, "May I ask your majesty, if the little princess of the late emperor and Empress Xiu is still alive this year, how old would she be?"
"Twenty-five."
Speaking of the past, Emperor Xia looked solemn, "A month before I launched the coup, I once saw this little niece. She was just a swaddled baby at that time."
"Yes."
Chen Defu added: "I have checked the student list of Cangzhou Shengwu Academy. This Miss Yu was born in a family of criminals in Jinling Prefecture, Jiangnan. She just turned seventeen this year, so her age doesn't match at all."
"Furthermore, five years ago, you issued the "Martial Arts Pardon Order" to allow criminals to practice martial arts. This girl, Yu, even came to the Martial Arts Supervisor in the capital to receive the pardon document, but was expelled. As a result, when she applied for the Martial Arts Academy later, she was already over the age limit."
"Yu Ling'er and Yu Huaian are brother and sister. Did they come to the capital together five years ago?" Emperor Xia asked curiously.
"It should be."
Chen Defu sighed and said, "I guess that it was the setback from the martial arts supervisor that caused the brother and sister to be drained of their family wealth and have nowhere to go. So Yu Duzhu entered the palace to become a eunuch, gave the money he earned from selling his body to his sister as living expenses, and returned to his hometown alone."
"Speaking of which, these two siblings really have a tragic fate."
"Damn it! Evil son! I say one thing, but he does another! Over the years, he has been in charge of the Martial Arts Academy and remotely controlled the Shengwu Academy. I don't know how many talents the court has buried!"
When mentioning the cheating case of the martial arts supervisor, Emperor Xia became furious again.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. In a sense, the First Prince has also made him the Rain Lord today, allowing him to serve Your Majesty and the ladies well, isn't that right?"
Chen Defu quickly comforted him.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this rebellious son."
Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, "Brother Xuanyu Huaian, come here. I will reward them well. In addition..."
He looked at the young eunuch in the distance, who was surrounded by his two beloved concubines, Concubine Wan and Concubine Qi, and his eyes suddenly became a little suspicious:
"Eunuch Chen, please check for me what Yu Huaian has done in the past five years while working in the Western Factory, and where he got a great opportunity. Why have I never heard of him in the past few years? According to the records in the Military Records, he is only at the lower level of the eighth rank, but now he can compete with a young master like Tang Jia San Shao!"
"As my servant, I must have complete control over everything about him!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Chen Defu bowed and accepted the order.
"Hey, where's the Empress Dowager?"
Emperor Xia suddenly remembered something and looked back, but the old ancestor was nowhere to be seen.
"Didn't the Empress Dowager just say that she came back to the palace to get something from the Zongwuyuan? I guess she must have gone there."
Chen Defu said.
"not good!"
Emperor Xia's face darkened, "Isn't it possible that Grandmother will find "Him" when she goes to the Zongwuyuan this time?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Chen Defu said with a mysterious look, "That gentleman has been in the Zongwuyuan for so many years, and has experienced countless emperors, but no one has ever discovered his existence."
"Well, that's good, that's good."
At this point in the conversation, Emperor Xia's worries and frustrations from tonight finally dissipated a lot.
He stood up suddenly, looked at the white dragon that was locked in the cage again with his tiger eyes, and a smile gradually appeared at the corners of his mouth.
"You're right."
"My daughter can subdue a dragon, which is enough to prove that I am the prince of Great Xia who carries the blood of a true dragon!"
"Ajin, take my piece of
He subconsciously looked to the side, but did not see the familiar figure.
I couldn't help but sigh
at the same time.
On the palace building directly north of Chengxuanmen Square.
A great battle between young masters also came to an end.
"There's nothing I can do, Junior Sister. I only have one master to teach me, so I can't break the moves."
"Brother, I can only use the secret skills passed down in my family."
"In fact, you are already one of the most outstanding female heroes in the world, as you have fought with the emperor-appointed "No. 1 Prodigy of Great Xia" to this point. At least in the court, you are not inferior to the second princess and the third princess, the two royal prodigies."
Nie Zheng swung the Imperial Dragon Embroidered Spring Knife with a look of contempt, dispelling the ice crystals frozen on the blade: "But to be honest, you blocked my sword path just now with just a breath of time. Your Lu family's icy true energy..."
"It's really terrifying."
"Brother, you don't have to humiliate me."
Lu Siyao's pretty face was bleak, her pair of muscular long legs were turned inward, and she stood unsteadily, as if she had suffered some internal injuries. "I can't beat you, I can't beat you! Siyao, just go back and practice harder!"
"No, it's not your problem if you can't beat me."
Nie Zheng stared at his beloved junior sister with his handsome eyes, his expression half distressed and half angry: "Do you know, junior sister, your martial arts have made great progress in this period of time? Not only has your cultivation level broken through to the master level, but your Lu family's Xue Man swordsmanship has also been improved to the seventh level. If it were in the past, I might really let you play a trick on me because of my soft heart, but now-"
"Your betrayal and ruthlessness, as well as the scenes of your intrigues with that dog eunuch, made me realize the truth and comprehend the last move of the Nie family's "Dream Shattering Sword Technique" -"
"Destroy the emotions and have no self!"
"And next, Brother, you will use this supreme sword technique to repay the pain I have endured tenfold or a hundredfold!"
After saying this, the youngest deputy chief of the Shenbu Division adjusted his official hat and walked towards the bustling square in the distance with an indifferent look on his face.
"Brother, where are you going?!"
Lu Siyao gritted her teeth, dodged and blocked her senior brother's way.
"I have just made it very clear."
Nie Zheng's eyes were cold as he spoke word by word: "During this Mid-Autumn Festival, I will trample that damned dog eunuch under my feet in front of His Majesty, the civil and military officials, and Concubine Wan!"
"You...you are not allowed to go!"
"Why?"
"Brother, when we were fighting just now, did you notice? Something happened in the square. When the white dragon ascended to heaven, it was not Your Majesty who was riding on the dragon's back, but that..."
At this point, Lu Siyao's cheeks turned slightly red. She lowered her head and said the name of the boy hidden deep in her heart: "Yu Huaian."
"so what!?"
Seeing his junior sister's embarrassed expression, Nie Zheng's emotions completely went haywire: "Junior sister! Look at what you look like now! You actually showed such a shameful expression to a eunuch!"
"That night in the secret passage of the East Factory, before Senior Brother arrived, what happened between the two of you? Hmm?"
"Brother, why bother asking again?"
Lu Siyao said coldly: "Brother, what you need to consider now is, if Lord Yu makes another great contribution tonight, the drums and music in the square are played for him, and you rush into the square now to cause trouble for him, will His Majesty agree?"
"I lost my love, and everything is in ruins!"
"Nothing matters anymore!"
"If I don't avenge the theft of my wife tonight, I would rather die!"
Nie Zheng's eyes were bloodshot, and he made up his mind. He slapped his junior sister's shoulder and pushed her heavily to the ground!
Then, he stepped forward with one foot, and the man and the sword became one. His body turned into a sharp and sturdy sword shadow and flew away!
