Chapter 126: Even the Emperor Can’t Be Protected
This was the first time that Zhou Shen took the initiative to invite Yang Chende and others to his office area. This move really surprised the Yang Chende brothers.
But on second thought, after experiencing this plague, there was indeed a lot of work that needed to be negotiated and handled by both parties, so after a little hesitation, the two of them immediately nodded in agreement.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Chende handed over the relevant matters to the newly appointed Yanguan Cheng, and then he and Yang Chenhui followed Zhou Shen to his exclusive office area.
When Yang Chende and Yang Chenhui slowly stepped into the room, accompanied by the sound of Zhou Shen gently closing the door, Zhao Haoxuan, who had been sitting upright, suddenly stood up.
He smiled, clasped his hands together, bowed deeply to the two men, and said loudly, "Greetings, uncles!"
At this moment, Zhao Haoxuan could not hide his excitement. After all, this was the moment he had been looking forward to for a long time. He could finally see his two uncles whom he had been thinking about day and night with his own eyes!
At the same time, Wang Xinyao, who was standing by, did not dare to neglect him either. She quickly bowed and said softly, "Greetings, Master Yang!"
Yang Chende and Yang Chenhui quickly responded with smiles on their faces: "Hello, Miss Wang!"
You know, ever since they took the Spirit Gathering Pill given by Wang Xinyao, the strength of the two brothers has improved by leaps and bounds, especially Yang Chenhui, who has now successfully broken through to the second level of the Spirit Realm!
Suddenly hearing a man's voice, Yang Chende and Yang Chenhui subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, but saw a burly but slightly rough man saluting them.
At first, the two of them just looked at the strange man casually and didn't pay too much attention to him.
But when they took a closer look, an expression of disbelief suddenly appeared on both of their faces. Then, unable to suppress their inner excitement, they exclaimed in unison, "Prince...Prince..."
Before he could finish his words, the two men had quickly recovered, hurriedly straightened their clothes, and then respectfully bowed to the person in front of them, saying in unison: "Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Uncle, please don't be so polite! I am no longer a prince. Let's not go through all the formalities between us. Just call me by my name like before!" Zhao Haoxuan said as he quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help up his two uncles who were about to salute.
Yang Chende shook his head gravely and said solemnly, "No, Xuan'er, although many things have happened, the Emperor has not officially issued an edict to depose you from the position of Crown Prince. Therefore, in terms of status, you are still the Crown Prince!"
Chen Chenhui, who was standing aside, also nodded hurriedly, expressing his agreement with what Yang Chende said.
After hearing these words from his two uncles themselves, Zhao Haoxuan's heart finally settled down.
His eyes were slightly red, his lips were trembling slightly, and he murmured to himself: "It turns out that my father still believes in me, it's great..."
At this moment, his heart was filled with emotion and joy.
Seeing Zhao Haoxuan like this, the two Lords Yang couldn't help but feel sad. This was a high-ranking, beloved son of heaven. Who could have predicted that he would suffer such hardship? Fortunately, the truth was now out, and there was still room for recovery.
Yang Chende took a deep breath and said to Zhao Haoxuan, "Xuan'er, since we have successfully found you, our mission on this trip has been successfully accomplished. Hurry and pack your bags. We will set off immediately to return to the capital to meet His Majesty!"
"No, uncle, I can't return to the capital for the time being." Zhao Haoxuan shook his head solemnly and refused firmly, "Things are far from as simple as my father imagined. Given his current condition, he can't guarantee my absolute safety for the time being!"
Hearing this, Yang Chenhui's eyes widened in shock. After all, the emperor possessed supreme power. If they couldn't even protect the emperor, how terrifying would the forces behind him be?
Looking at Yang Chenhui's shocked expression, Zhao Haoxuan took a deep breath and slowly began to tell Yang Chende and Yang Chenhui everything he had experienced in recent days.
As the story was described, Yang Chende and Yang Chunhui's expressions became more and more serious. They were deeply worried about Zhao Haoxuan's safety, and were also furious at Zhao Yucheng's arrogant behavior.
"Prince Yu, you're going too far! Do you really think our Yang family is a soft persimmon that can be bullied by anyone?" Yang Chende was so angry that he was shaking all over. He roared furiously, "Chenhui, you are responsible for escorting the salt to the capital this time. This is a good opportunity to go home. Be sure to tell my father the details of what happened and ask him to make a plan as soon as possible!"
"Yes, big brother!" After hearing this, Yang Chenhui nodded repeatedly without hesitation, indicating that he fully agreed with what he said.
Zhao Haoxuan seemed a little anxious and said hurriedly, "Uncle, don't act too hastily. We must not let Grandpa prepare at this moment, lest others see our flaws! After all, my current strength is far from strong enough, so I must be cautious and hide for the time being!"
After hearing what Zhao Haoxuan said, Yang Chende frowned slightly and fell into a brief contemplation.
"Okay, as you said, let's keep our troops on hold for now and wait and see what happens!" After a moment, he finally responded slowly.
After receiving a positive response from his uncle, Zhao Haoxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Yang Chende seemed to have thought of something and insisted, "Xuan'er, in ten days, I will secretly return to Beijing with you under the pretext of reporting the disaster. This way, you will have the resources to make yourself stronger."
"No, uncle, you don't know that the best resources I have are in Xiejia Village in Nanhu County!" Zhao Haoxuan said anxiously, and he pulled Wang Xinyao's hand without hesitation.
Then, he said solemnly to Yang Chende and Yang Chenhui, "My two uncles, let me formally introduce you to my wife, Wang Xinyao. We are truly in love and have already married in Xiejia Village."
Seeing Zhao Haoxuan suddenly holding her hand and introducing her to his uncle in public, Wang Xinyao blushed and her heart was pounding.
Oh my god, is this what they call a formal meeting with the parents? But the problem is, they are only in a fake marriage now, so why is it like a real marriage now? Thinking of this, Wang Xinyao felt panic and uneasiness.
Hearing this, the two Lord Yangs standing opposite opened their mouths in shock and couldn't close them for a long time.
They turned their eyes to Zhou Shen who was standing aside. Zhou Shen nodded slightly with a calm expression, indicating that he had known about this for a long time.
