Note:
Summoning Card: Can be used to summon gods and demons as minions.
Summoning cards are scored from 1 to 10 stars. The higher the star rating, the stronger the summoned character.
The four-star summoning card guarantees that you can summon the existence of the terrestrial fairyland with combat power.
Friendly reminder: The higher the level of the summoning card, the more powerful the summoned character will be. Please use it with caution!
"This has just begun, are you guaranteed to be a land-based fairyland character?"
"If I enter the palace and kill the empress, what kind of reward will I get?"
Qin Xu's heart moved and he rushed straight to the palace.
As for the use of the summoning card, it must be reserved for when you meet the empress, so as to give her a big surprise!
…
…
Ziyang Palace.
Inside the Jinluan Hall.
Previously, several Imperial Heavenly Prisoners who had retreated to investigate the celestial phenomena came back.
But the investigation results made the empress quite dissatisfied.
Because the results given by everyone are surprisingly consistent.
That is——
Nothing found!
"You are a bunch of losers. There is such a big commotion in the imperial capital and you haven't found out anything. What's the point of raising you losers?"
On the golden dragon chair, the empress's chest was shaking wildly with anger, and the waves were raging!
But facing such a magnificent scene, no one in the audience dared to look at it.
Even just a sneak peek!
Everyone lowered their heads like elementary school students who had done something wrong.
He was afraid of meeting the Empress' eyes.
"That's all, I'll be fined for three years and just shut up and think about the past!"
After a scolding, the empress gradually calmed down.
She had no hope of this group of losers.
It would be more reliable to wait for that person to come to the imperial capital and ask him for advice.
I wonder if the glazed phoenix crown on top of his head is too heavy.
The empress is still a little tired of handling trivial government affairs.
The empress was seen leaning forward, leaning lazily on the dragon chair behind her.
With a jade hand supporting her head, the empress raised her phoenix eyes slightly and looked around at the ministers in the hall.
"Dear ladies, do you have anything else to report?"
In the main hall, all the officials were as silent as a cicada, still not saying a word!
At this moment, they are all still immersed in the shadow of the former Empress' Bloody Hall.
How dare you ask for trouble and say anything?
Seeing that the government affairs at hand are almost taken care of.
The empress returned her attention to Qin Xu.
"Huan'er, why hasn't Qin Xu entered the palace yet?"
Beside him, Shangguan Huan'er also bowed with a puzzled look on his face.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, considering the time, it is time for Prince Zhenbei to enter the palace. Could it be that he guessed the holy will and escaped in advance?"
"Escape? Haha, is that a loser with one leg lame?"
"When I asked Cai Xukun to deliver the order, I proposed to transfer him to a hundred tiger guards, all of whom are strong in the Martial Realm."
"Just because of that lame man, even if I lend him a pair of wings, he can't escape from my grasp!"
The corners of the empress' lips raised slightly, and she said with determination.
Hearing this, Shangguan Huan'er breathed a sigh of relief.
Asked for instructions again:
"Then Your Majesty, what's going on?"
"That's fine!"
The empress agreed.
Shangguan Huan'er was about to retreat, but the next second, the shouts of the eunuchs outside the palace were heard.
"Qin Xu, the eldest son of Prince Zhenbei, came to the palace to pay an audience according to the order!"
"finally come!"
"Introduce him to the palace!"
The empress cheered up instantly.
Only Shangguan Huan'er beside him noticed.
Just now, a cold murderous intent flashed through the depths of the empress's eyes!
"clatter!"
"clatter!"
"clatter!"
Under the watchful eyes of the civil and military officials of the court, Qin Xu limped up to the Golden Palace with a cane.
"Is this the Prince of Zhenbei who has a marriage contract with His Majesty?"
"He's quite handsome. He's the type my mother-in-law likes! It's a pity that he's lame in one leg^"
"He has been working as a proton in the imperial capital for ten years, and you haven't seen him yet?"
"Hey, it's not surprising. Although the Prince of Zhenbei has been in Beijing as a hostage for ten years, he has never been to the Jinluan Palace. Most of the time he has been under house arrest in Yingge Courtyard."
"I see!"
"How come I still heard that he has a marriage contract with Her Majesty, the current empress?"
"There is such a thing!"
"According to Zhang Zaifu, who returned from old age and returned to his hometown, he revealed that the late emperor begged for this engagement from the King of Zhenbei in vain!"
"The purpose is to bind the relationship between the Ziyang Royal Family and the Zhenbei Palace to prevent the Zhenbei Army from rebelling!"
"So, the Empress summoned Qin Xu to the palace this time to marry him? You said that our Ziyang Dynasty will not be named Qin in the future, right?"
"Haha, Cao Shangshu, you really don't hear anything outside the window, and you only read the books of sages."
"Don't you know that the Empress has already secretly promised someone else her heart?"
"I guess what she wants to do most right now is to break off her engagement with Qin Xu!"
"Huh? Can't you tell? The empress is usually quite aloof, but she still plays tricks behind her back?"
"Hush...be careful! Your special mother is rushing to reincarnate, don't drag me with you!"
"I don't want to be exploded into blood mist!"
…
…
Listening to the discussions among the civil and military ministers in the main hall.
Qin Xu ignored it and still limped towards the main hall with a cane.
The crisp sound of the cane hitting the ground echoed in the empty and majestic hall.
It would take a normal person ten steps, but Qin Xu suddenly walked ten miles.
In the end, even the aloof empress frowned and couldn't stand it anymore.
"Since I have limited mobility, I won't salute His Majesty. I'm sure His Majesty won't blame me, right?"
This time, Qin Xu spoke first.
When the empress heard this, her expression suddenly turned cold!
Shangguan Huan'er next to him saw this and took the lead to stand up and hold him accountable.
"Bold Qin Xu, how dare you not kneel down when you see His Majesty?"
Qin Xu was not used to it and immediately glared back with a fierce look.
"Who are you?"
"What is a young girl yelling about? Could it be that she's in puberty?"
"The empress has not yet spoken, but you are trying to overtake her. Could it be that you are the monarch of the Ziyang Dynasty?"
Qin Xu was quick with his attacks. When he came up, he put a huge hat on Shangguan Huan'er, and she was speechless for a moment.
"Qin Xu, don't talk nonsense!"
Shangguan Huan'er's beautiful eyes glared at Qin Xu.
If only looks could kill.
I'm afraid Qin Xu has been cut to pieces by a thousand cuts!
The prodigal son dared to say in court that she was in puberty?
I really want to bite him to death!
But because of the empress beside her, she could only endure it.
A small tiger tooth made a crunching sound.
"That's all, I forgive you for not kneeling to the emperor!"
"Then I would like to thank Your Majesty for your consideration!"
Qin Xu cupped his hands and said perfunctorily.
"Prince Zhenbei, do you know why I summoned you to the palace today?"
The empress looked at Qin Xu with deep eyes, as if she wanted to see through him.
From the moment Qin Xu came to the palace today, she felt that the other party was unusual.
But where exactly it is, I can’t say.
"I don't know!"
Qin Xu shook his head and pretended to be confused.
"Prince Zhenbei is very forgetful. Today is the expiration date of your ten-year stay in the imperial capital as a hostage. Why did you forget such an important day?"
The empress reminded with a smile.
She wanted to see Qin Xu's reaction.
But the result disappointed her.
"so what?"
Qin Xu continued to ask without any hesitation.
Empress:......
The empress had gradually lost her patience, so she got straight to the point.
"I can let you go back to Beiliang, but I need you to agree to a condition first..."
"Your Majesty, I don't want to go back to Beiliang, so you don't need to make any conditions!"
Before the empress finished speaking, Qin Xu rushed to answer.
"What did you say???"
The empress felt suddenly choked when the words came to her lips.
The empress couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked at Qin Xu with a confused expression.
Just now, he refused my gift of returning to Beiliang?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have been here in the imperial capital for ten years and have already regarded this place as my home. So, why should I go back to Beiliang?"
Qin Xu explained with a smile.
