N-A-A Chapter 1649 Father Emperor Loves Him
Chapter 1649 Father Emperor Loves Him
Just as the Emperor was in a state of confusion, he suddenly heard the voice of the Retired Emperor explode in his ear.
The retired emperor roared, "Emperor! Why aren't you taking these ministers and leaving this place? It's dangerous here! Do you want to die here? Go! Go! Go!"
The retired emperor's voice was very anxious, as if he were urging the emperor to his death.
The emperor was already in a state of confusion, and the horse that had been struggling in the lake had now sunk. This scene filled him with dread and panic.
When he suddenly heard the Emperor Emeritus shouting like that, he thought that the Emperor Emeritus had appeared to save his life.
At this moment, the Emperor also had some suspicions. He suspected that someone wanted to use this horse to murder him, so he was extremely panicked. He then heard the Retired Emperor shouting in his ear, "Go quickly, go quickly, take the people and leave immediately, don't stay for a moment!"
The emperor was no longer able to think. He turned around abruptly and ran towards the palace, shouting, "Quick! Protect me! I'm going back to the palace, right now! Everyone, get out of here with me!"
"Xiao Wu! My beloved concubine! Let's go!"
I don't know if the Emperor suddenly became a good husband and father at this moment, but he didn't forget Consort Yu and the Fifth Princess, and even turned around and called out to them.
The carriage stopped some distance away. As soon as the emperor jumped up, all the palace guards and imperial guards protecting him followed him and quickly retreated towards the carriage.
Upon hearing the emperor's order and seeing him suddenly run away, the officials all hurriedly followed.
When everyone saw that something had changed here, and that the Moonlight Horse, which was supposed to be an auspicious sign, had sunk into the lake, they all dared not linger.
Everyone was in a panic and quickly followed the emperor to evacuate the place.
However, Lin Rong and Lord Chen ran in the opposite direction towards the lake while everyone else retreated.
"Go quickly and check if the prince is alright. That pleasure boat belongs to Luo Qiu, right?"
Lord Chen turned to Lin Rong and said something.
He still had a good impression of Luo Qiu's painting style, after all, he had previously watched Prime Minister Shen's rendezvous with Luo Qiu on the painted boat.
The retired emperor was worried that the emperor wasn't running fast enough, and that some of the ministers might be left behind, so he kept calling out to the emperor in a fast and urgent voice, "Hurry up and make them all leave."
"You unfilial son, what are you making a scene about here? It's just a horse, why are you treating it like a lucky omen? Do you all want to die here? You even summoned all the ministers of the fourth rank and above from the Great Court, are you trying to be wiped out in one fell swoop? Quick, make them all run away with you!"
At this moment, the emperor had no capacity for thought. In fact, he had been somewhat influenced by touching the horse earlier.
The powder applied to the horse was originally intended to deceive people.
So the emperor was also a bit dizzy at this moment. The fifth princess should have been very smart, but she was also asked to touch the horse, and now her mind was also a bit affected.
The emperor kept turning back and urging them to run faster, so they had no choice but to hurry up and get on the carriage.
Soon, everyone had run away, and no one dared to stay.
The emperor didn't care who was left behind; a whole bunch of people had already fled. The emperor didn't dare to imagine that anyone would be left behind at this point.
Who's stupid? Who would dare disobey his orders?
(Lord Chen: And me? Lin Rong: I stayed behind to clean up the mess and find out if the horse is alive or dead.)
As the emperor boarded the carriage and it sped towards the palace, his heart calmed slightly, and a strange thought suddenly arose in his mind.
He turned his head to the left and right, but did not see his father.
But the voice I heard just now was so real, it was clearly my father. My father was so busy telling him to leave that place, did he not pay attention to A-Yue?
"Father? Father, are you there?"
The emperor was still somewhat shaken, and his voice was a little breathless.
He carefully lowered his voice, looked to his left, shouted something, looked to his right, and whispered something again.
Consort Yu and the Fifth Princess, who were riding in the same carriage with him, exchanged a glance, then looked at the Emperor with shocked expressions.
Consort Yu asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, who are you calling?"
They thought they just heard the Emperor calling for his father, but wasn't the Emperor Emeritus already dead?
The Emperor composed himself, looked at them, and asked, "Did you hear your father's voice just now?"
They really are calling him the retired emperor.
Consort Yu grasped the Fifth Princess's hand, steadied herself, and shook her head, saying, "Your Majesty, I didn't hear anything."
The fifth princess also said, "Father, I didn't hear anything either."
The emperor suddenly sighed.
Indeed, only he could hear his father's voice, so his father must have appeared specifically to save him, right?
At this moment, the Emperor's mind began to work. He remembered Zhou Shiyue and quickly lifted the carriage curtain. "Guards! Quickly find out if Prince Jin is alright? Whose boat is that? Go and see if the Prince was rescued by the people on board! Also, issue my decree to have Lin Rong investigate this matter!"
"What happened tonight must not be spread for the time being!"
"Yes."
The guard responded to the order and quickly rode his horse back.
After the Emperor gave the order, he lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Father, did you hear that? Your son did not disregard A-Yue's safety. But you asked me to leave that place, and I am obeying you. Your son will definitely send someone to rescue A-Yue."
At this time, the emperor felt that the retired emperor still valued him, after all, he was the ruler of the country and he could not afford to have anything happen to him.
No matter how much he dotes on A-Yue, he's still just a good-for-nothing playboy. When it really matters, isn't his son, the emperor, more important?
The emperor felt a strange sense of satisfaction and happiness.
Consort Yu and the Fifth Princess exchanged another glance.
Both mother and daughter had the same question in their minds—
Could the Emperor be possessed? Could that horse really not be a fine steed, but some kind of evil horse?
Consort Yu trembled slightly.
The Emperor was unaware that while the carriage was moving, the Retired Emperor had already drifted away and returned to Autumn Lake.
Master Ling's task for him was to get rid of the people and clear the area.
After he got rid of the person, he was sure he would stay; A-Yue's safety was on his mind.
After most people left, Prime Minister Shen and his guards, who remained, seemed out of place.
Lin Rong walked to Prime Minister Shen's side.
Why hasn't the Prime Minister left yet?
Prime Minister Shen pointed to the pleasure boat, "My daughter was worried about the Prince, so she went aboard. Why didn't Lord Lin leave either?"
He turned his head and saw Lord Chen standing behind him.
Lord Chen stood on tiptoe and craned his neck to look at the painted boat.
