Chapter 1017 The Emperor Leaves, Prince Yu is in Disarray
Emperor Hongde fully approved of the plan to eliminate the real crown prince of the Eastern Wei Kingdom before the fake crown prince arrived in the capital.
Emperor Hongde nodded and looked at his son. Just as he was about to say something, Xiao Jingyu stood up. "Father, I will continue to follow and monitor Deputy Envoy Pighead tonight. I'm going to the Duke of Anguo's residence now!"
After saying that, he turned to leave.
"Yu'er, wait!"
Seeing that Xiao Jingyu was about to leave, Emperor Hongde quickly called out to him.
"Is there anything else, Father?"
Xiao Jingyu raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance.
"Of course something's wrong!"
This is a very big deal, okay?
Please sit down!
Emperor Hongde pointed to Xiao Jingyu, who had just left his seat.
Xiao Jingyu obediently and cooperatively sat back down.
Then he just stared straight at his father, waiting to hear what his father was going to say next.
Emperor Hongde picked up the now-cold tea on the table, took a sip to moisten his throat, and said, "Do you know why Father Emperor will suspend court tomorrow?"
"This... Your subject does not know!"
Xiao Jingyu shook his head.
Emperor Hongde glared at his son, who was feigning ignorance, and said angrily, "Hmph! I don't believe you don't know!"
After saying that, he immediately put on a gentle smile, "Yu'er, your father just wanted to... just wanted to see the power of the treasures in Yue'er's hands!"
The day of my father's death is drawing ever closer!
There are so many messy things going on inside and outside the government!
If we delay any longer... I'm afraid you won't have time to leave the capital before my father's birthday!
So Father Emperor thought, let's make an appointment with Yue'er and the Duke of Anguo's family, and secretly leave the capital early tomorrow morning to go to the Duke of Anguo's manor on the hillside outside the city.
We can go and come back on the same day, without delaying anything.
After I finish reading the things that make me happy tomorrow, I still have to read the things that make me miserable the day after tomorrow!
"I want to see how your good cousin will collect the bodies and bury the remains of his former queen and her family!"
"I knew Father Emperor had suspended court because of this!"
Xiao Jingyu glanced at his father and said, "I understand your eagerness to see those treasures, but you must know that those treasures belong to Yue'er."
Tomorrow's time also belongs to the moon!
Besides, tonight, I'm afraid Yue'er will still have to go with me to track down and investigate the movements of the Pig-Headed Deputy Envoy!
If that's the case, then Yue'er won't have a good night's sleep for two nights!
Tomorrow, I'll have her accompany the Emperor out of the capital to the Half-Mountain Manor early in the morning again...
"Father, aren't you worried about exhausting your little daughter-in-law? I'm more concerned about my little princess!"
Ouch!
"Hey, it's my fault, it's my fault!"
Emperor Hongde was taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded with some regret and said, "Yu'er is right. I was too hasty and did not consider things thoroughly!"
Okay then, let's do it another day if it doesn't work out!
"As for tomorrow's court session being suspended... since I've already said it, let's just consider it an extra day off arranged on short notice!"
Despite saying that, Emperor Hongde's tone still carried a hint of disappointment and regret!
Xiao Jingyu looked at his father, thought for a moment, and said, "Father, regarding this matter... let's talk about it after I see Yue'er!"
Whether it's arranged for tomorrow or sometime in the future, it must be up to Yue'er; I have no right to make decisions for her.
As I said before, we'll decide after I've consulted with Yue'er!
Emperor Hongde nodded upon hearing this, then glanced sideways at Xiao Jingyu, saying, "You'll be a henpecked husband in the future!"
"A son resembles his father!"
"Your son is Your Majesty's own flesh and blood!"
Xiao Jingyu said this as if it were the most natural thing in the world!
Emperor Hongde was truly speechless for a moment!
say what?
Can you say he's not their biological child?
Absolutely not!
Emperor Hongde scoffed and said helplessly, "Fine, fine, then go to the Duke of Anguo's mansion and mooch off some good food!"
"If you go at this time, you could get two free meals!"
As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the dragon desk, waving his hand impatiently at Xiao Jingyu as he went. "Hurry up and go, don't waste my time here. I still have a lot of memorials to read!"
Xiao Jingyu stood up calmly and bowed to Emperor Hongde, "Father, then... I shall take my leave!"
As he turned around, Xiao Jingyu seemed to suddenly remember something and added, "Oh, I almost forgot..."
Early in the morning, Yue'er had her son bring back a large box of delicious food, saying it was a tribute to her father and mother.
Your son had it sent to Your Majesty.
"Father, after you finish reviewing the memorials, go and enjoy yourself with Mother!"
"what?
Did Yue'er bring something delicious for me and your mother?
Why didn't you say so sooner!
This morning's commotion has really upset Father Emperor; he'll need some fruit to cool down!
After saying that, he directly instructed the people outside the hall: "Yu Feng, bring all the memorials to be reviewed today. I'm going to Fengyi Palace first!"
After Emperor Hongde finished speaking, he didn't even glance at Xiao Jingyu before walking straight out of the imperial study and heading towards Luan Xiying's Phoenix Palace!
Feng Guang and his men quickly followed.
Yu Feng strode into the imperial study, sorted out a large stack of memorials for Emperor Hongde, wrapped them in a piece of yellow silk, held them in his arms, gave Xiao Jingyu a hurried bow, and then ran after Emperor Hongde!
Xiao Jingyu stood in the imperial study... uh... why does he feel a bit bewildered?
