N-A-A Chapter 1762 No Need to Save Him
Chapter 1762 No Need to Save Him
The emperor stood tall and proud.
The Emperor's majestic power was on full display.
Yin Changxing: "Then please have Your Majesty stand here."
The emperor was placed as a door god at the entrance of a side hall.
The moment Yin Changxing arrived, the Emperor's imposing manner was instantly shattered.
Waaah, I feel so insecure.
"emperor!"
"Father!"
Then someone else rushed in, but they weren't as relaxed as before.
The emperor took a closer look, and his feelings became complicated.
Consort Shu is here, Consort Yu is here, the fifth and sixth sons are here, and the second son is here.
"Father, why is the ancestral temple so gloomy?" Xiao Liu asked in surprise as soon as he entered.
"Yes, Your Majesty, what happened? We had just arrived outside when a man told us to come in quickly."
Consort Shu asked somewhat uneasily. It was Weng Songzhi who urged them to come in quickly.
They had sensed something was amiss when they arrived at the ancestral temple, and they hesitated there.
The man saw them and urged them to hurry up and go in, or they should go back to the palace.
With the Emperor and Empress Dowager both here, how could they dare turn back? Naturally, they had no choice but to come in.
But once they entered, they realized that something was wrong.
In any case, Consort Shu regretted it a bit; she felt she should have turned the carriage around and returned to the palace earlier.
The Emperor glanced at them, then looked at Yin Changxing.
"Sect Leader Yin, they..."
Yin Changxing frowned.
So many people coming here are just a burden. But what can we do? They've all come. When they were at the entrance, my junior brother must have seen something and knew they couldn't go back, so he told them to hurry into the ancestral temple.
"Go inside, everyone," Yin Changxing said.
"Go in where? Your Majesty, he..." Consort Shu looked at Yin Changxing and felt uncomfortable. She felt that this man's aura and demeanor were somewhat arrogant.
Shouldn't the Emperor be the most powerful person in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in the ancestral temple? Why does the Emperor speak to him as if he has to look up to him?
If the Emperor is acting this way, shouldn't she treat him even better?
The Emperor had no time to pay attention to Consort Shu. He waved his hand and said impatiently, "Did you hear me? Go inside now."
"Your Highness, open the door and let them in!" the Emperor called out to the Crown Prince inside the hall.
When looking at Consort Yu and the Fifth Princess, the Emperor's attitude was noticeably better.
"My dear consort, you and Xiao Wu go in first. Don't ask any questions yet, we'll talk about it later."
As Wu Gongfang helped Consort Yu to the Emperor's side, she gestured for Consort Yu to go in first, then stood beside the Emperor and said with some concern, "Father, aren't you going in?"
The Emperor was quite pleased; even though the Sixth Prince had been imprisoned, the Fifth Prince still cared about him!
"I will guard this place."
The fifth princess quickly said, "Then I'll stay here with Father."
"Little Fifth, you're a good one," the Emperor said, now finding the Fifth Princess quite pleasing to the eye. His gaze swept over the Second Prince, and his face immediately darkened. "Take your nephew inside, and let your second brother stay here with me."
The second prince was completely bewildered.
In the end, he stood beside the emperor, completely unaware of what was going to happen.
He couldn't even tell whether being kept by his father's side was a good thing or a bad thing.
But judging from my father's expression, it wasn't very pleasant.
"Sect Leader Yin, is it alright for Zhou Ling to stay here with me?" the Emperor asked Yin Changxing.
Yin Changxing glanced at the Second Prince. This Second Prince was a good-for-nothing. Now, the purple aura above his head was only the size of a candle flame. Any ghostly aura could easily extinguish it.
It's useless.
However, I heard that he used to be very rude to Xiao Ling'er. If it weren't for Xiao Ling'er's own great abilities and the protection of Prince Jin, she would probably have been bullied by the Second Prince when she first returned to the capital.
Now that the Second Prince has been delivered to him, he might as well collect some interest for Xiao Ling'er.
"Since His Majesty wishes for the Second Prince to accompany him, I have no objection. It all depends on how filial the Second Prince is," Yin Changxing said calmly.
The second prince really wanted to ask him what he meant.
But Yin Changxing had already turned away by then.
"Ah Ling, you should be a filial son, right?" The Emperor looked at Zhou Ling with a deep gaze.
Zhou Ling quickly replied, "Of course! Father, don't you know how I treat you?"
He found it strange that the Crown Prince was in the palace, not outside accompanying his father.
This was a good opportunity, so the Second Prince quickly tried to sow discord between the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince.
"Father, why did my brother, the Crown Prince, go inside? Shouldn't he be with me at this time?"
The emperor snorted coldly and did not answer.
He also wanted the crown prince to stay outside, but did he have a way to do so?
The second prince gave the crown prince a defiant look—
See? Your father will despise you even more now.
The crown prince glanced at him, too lazy to argue with him.
"Brother Crown Prince, what happened? Shouldn't we be at the main hall right now?" The Fifth Princess walked up to the Crown Prince and asked him with some concern.
"Just sit here and wait patiently."
The prince only said this one sentence to her before walking to the door and closing it again.
Through the crack in the door, he could still see what was happening outside; the Crown Prince was standing behind the door.
The second prince then looked at Zhou Shiyue and Lu Zhaoling.
He always felt that nothing good would happen wherever these two people were.
Lu Zhaoling also glanced at the Second Prince and naturally saw the pitiful little purple aura on his head.
She had a feeling that the small purple aura would disappear soon, because the Second Prince's forehead was now covered with a light layer of gray.
She looked away, leaned closer to Zhou Shiyue, and whispered, "If Zhou Ling is in danger later, but not in mortal danger, should we save him?"
Zhou Shiyue glanced at Zhou Ling and saw that Zhou Ling's eyes were filled with hatred and malice as he looked at Lu Zhaoling, and he didn't have time to look away.
He said coldly, "Ignore him."
Even someone like that, why did Lu Xiaoer have to go through all that trouble to save her?
"Oh, okay."
Lu Zhaoling nodded to indicate that she was being obedient.
Although the second prince did not hear what they were saying, he felt that what they were saying was not kind and was directed at him.
"Father, what exactly happened? Lu Zhao... oh, did my aunt pay her respects to you?"
The second prince was just about to gossip a bit and stir up some conflict when he suddenly felt the darkness before his eyes.
It was a sudden and obvious darkness.
He thought a thick dark cloud was blocking the sky and instinctively tried to look up, but as soon as he did, his neck felt like it was stuck.
How should I describe this feeling?
It was as if a hand suddenly grabbed the back of his neck, preventing him from leaning back.
A chill ran down the back of his neck, like a worm creeping into his collar, and the Second Prince shuddered instantly.
"Father, Father Emperor..." The second prince grabbed the emperor's arm immediately.
