Mingguang Hall is a hall that is only opened on special occasions and is specially used for celebrations.
Today is not any anniversary in the imperial books, but it is really strange that His Highness the Prince singled out this palace as the place to receive the clan nobles.
But what’s even more strange is that the people standing in the main hall at this moment, whether it is the highly respected Emperor’s uncle, the two mediocre little emperor’s uncles, or the dozens of descendants of the royal family, are all worried. With serious expressions, no one cares about such trivial matters as the palace.
"The Prince Regent has arrived!" A clear voice focused everyone's attention on the top of the hall.
Site was wearing an extremely luxurious long-tailed dress and a crown with nine energy mineral deposits on his head. He walked over from the side with steady steps and sat down unceremoniously.
"It's so late, you all gathered together, crying and clamoring to come into the palace. What's the reason?" He looked down and asked slowly.
Ivy's voice rang in his mind: "Your Highness, the capital star circle has been inspected and no unidentified person has been found."
Xi Te felt a little calmer, but he did not dare to relax: "Continue scanning, and we can't let go of anyone suspicious."
Hearing what Xiter said, everyone in the palace looked at each other calmly. Prince Xili, the highly respected uncle of the Emperor, was the first to speak:
"Your Highness the Regent. I just suddenly remembered that I have not seen your Majesty for more than half a year. I am very worried about you, so I specially invite you to see me. Your Highness also asks me to understand that I miss you and allow me to see you."
"Uncle Tai Huang is your Majesty's uncle, and his deep relationship with His Majesty is unparalleled." Xi Te said, looking at the other people in the palace: "But what about you, are you all thinking of Your Majesty invariably? Did we happen to meet him in front of the palace gate again?"
When he said this, he originally wanted everyone to take the initiative to admit that they had vented their anger beforehand, and to come to the door in an organized and premeditated manner, so that things could be settled easily.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, countless voices responded: "Your Highness is wise. It is true."
"We originally wanted to meet him alone, but we didn't expect that in front of the palace gate, we found that there were so many fellow clan members."
"It's really no coincidence. Previously, I was worried that His Highness the Regent would be suspicious, but I didn't expect you to think about it with us."
Xite felt all kinds of boredom in his heart. "Be quiet." He said with a straight face: "Father has become increasingly tired recently. Not only do we not see outsiders, but we can only see this palace once every few days."
"It's already late today, so please go back. It won't be too late to come and see my father again when he feels better."
The three princes standing in the front row looked at each other again. Prince Sean, the imperial uncle, took a step forward and said:
"Your Highness the Regent. It's better to choose a different day than to hit it. Since everyone is here today, why not let everyone meet?"
"Yes." Another prince also said: "Your Majesty is both a king and a relative to me. He has been ill for nearly ten years and we have only visited him a handful of times. This is not the way to serve as a minister or a brother!"
Xi Te frowned and said calmly: "It is precisely because His Majesty is unwell that I followed the Holy Will and let him take a good rest. This is both filial piety and loyalty. That's it, everyone. Let’s disperse first.”
"Wait a minute." The old prince Xili ignored his expression and continued: "His Royal Highness the Regent has said this, so if I persist, it will seem like I am deliberately going against you."
"Forget it, we won't see Your Majesty today. Speaking of which, Her Majesty Queen Hyde has been accompanying Your Majesty and hasn't shown her face for more than half a year. Since we can't see Your Majesty, it's the same thing to see Her Majesty the Queen."
Prince Xili's words immediately received widespread support: "Yes, Her Majesty the Queen did not even attend this year's Spring Banquet, and it has indeed been a long time since she was able to see her."
"She always likes to gather relatives and chat with each other, but now she hasn't held a tea party for a long time. It's really strange to meet her fateful wife."
"I'm in charge of the empire's medical and health system, and I haven't found any record of the queen calling for a palace therapist, so her health should be fine, right?"
Si Te sat on the throne without saying a word amidst the voices of you and me, feeling a dull pain in his temples.
"Your Highness, let them meet Queen Hyde. She is your mother, so she must know what to say and what not to say." Ivy had a conversation with him in her mind.
"What do you know?" Sitter said helplessly: "No matter how smart you are, you are still a robot. It is still difficult to fully understand human nature itself."
Ivy was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "I understand the Queen's style. Even if she has doubts, you are her only support, and she will definitely defend you in front of outsiders."
"Maybe." A glimmer of light flashed in Site's eyes: "That's the only way."
"If the Federation of Tanzania and the Republic of Delin hadn't been keeping tabs on them from outside, the country would never have been able to withstand the turmoil. Judging from the words and deeds of these people today, they should all be eliminated."
Ivy had heard and seen such harsh words many times, so she didn't take it seriously.
"At this time, the Queen Mother should be ready to rest." Xi Te stood up: "You all come with me and see if she is willing to receive you."
"Your Highness." Ivy's voice suddenly sounded louder: "Your Majesty, Queen Hyde, has already left the dormitory and is heading towards the Mingguang Palace."
"How is that possible!" Xi Te suppressed the shock and anger in his heart: "Where are the Luanyi guards on duty in front of the palace? How could they let her out?"
"I am also checking. I don't know why, but the personal information systems of everyone on duty inside and outside the queen's chamber, including the maids and Luan Yi guards, have all lost contact. The reason is unknown." Ivy said in surprise:
"You think, should we organize the imperial guards to stop the Queen from crowning her queen?"
Site slowly sat back into the throne.
"No need." He said to Ivy: "Can't you see that everything that happened tonight was premeditated."
"Whether it's the relatives and nobles knocking on the door to see His Majesty, or the Queen Mother's sudden trip, the target of the attack is me."
"But so what? In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are meaningless."
"Everyone." Site showed an unpredictable smile and said word by word to everyone in His Highness:
"The Queen Mother is very happy to hear that you have arrived. She is on her way to the Mingguang Palace now. Please wait a moment."
The thick golden palace door slowly opened to both sides, and an extremely luxurious woman walked in slowly, surrounded by two rows of maids.
