In the main hall of the palace.
After Emperor Xia retired from the court and moved away, all officials were able to speak freely.
"This dandy prince actually apologized!"
"I don't understand. I absolutely cannot understand. Even if I live another life, I still can't believe that a person who has been arrogant and domineering for more than ten years can really turn back."
"It's incredible."
"Oh, Wang Shangshu, aren't you just in love with your appearance?"
A middle-aged official couldn't help but curl his lips and said:
"A prodigal son can turn back, but he will be a great sage in the future. Looking at the prince's arrogant and extravagant appearance, and saying that he can change his ways, I might as well hope that your majesty will give birth to a new prince."
"I see that His Majesty must have issued a strict order, and the Crown Prince was afraid of the power of the General's Palace, so he had no choice but to apologize. Your Majesty simply understood the righteousness and locked up this scourge forever."
"Hush, be silent."
The half-hundred old man surrounded by everyone shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"That's my extravagant hope. Nine times out of ten, it will be as Hui Qing said."
After that, he walked away from Lu Huiqing, who was looking deeply at the side.
And on the side.
General Ye and Ye Baizhi, who were originally furious, were now confused.
General Ye's tall body was not as fierce as before. He looked at his beloved daughter and hesitated to speak: "Bai Zhi, you really have nothing to do with that kid..."
"Dad! What did you say?"
Ye Baizhi's young face was stained with a faint glow, and she stamped her feet in shame.
She said bitterly: "If I am really humiliated by that dude, how can I just let it go? Besides, I have outstanding talent in cultivation, and he and I will be in different worlds in the future."
"Why bother sleeping with a prince who is destined to live forever?"
General Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
However, I recalled the other party’s unusual behavior.
General Ye couldn't help but murmur to himself:
"It's strange, you are born with a beautiful country, how can that boy with all kinds of misdeeds hold back? Could it be that he is not good at that?"
"It's wrong and unreasonable."
He thought about the past rumors and became more and more confused.
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Ye Baizhi was close enough to hear her and said angrily: "Do you still want your daughter to be really ruined?"
"of course not!"
General Ye immediately affirmed, but he was puzzled again: "I'm just weird."
"That day, this kid kept saying that he was framed, and now he's apologizing. It's really weird."
"Forget it, don't think about it anymore, stay away from him in the future."
"But that's right. It's not certain whether he can leave the Ancestral Temple in the future."
The two stopped talking and walked forward in silence.
Just before leaving the palace.
Ye Baizhi's heart moved, and she subconsciously looked towards the palace. Her eyes were watery, silent, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.
And deep in her eyes.
In a resting palace.
Emperor Xia rubbed his forehead tiredly, and the queen beside him gently rubbed his shoulders.
"I don't know why this traitor is so angry."
He rested for a moment and then spoke in a low voice:
"I asked him to apologize earlier and refused in every possible way, but this time it was better. Not only did he apologize, he also gave away the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Fruit that I had worked so hard to find to change his physique."
"Are you angry?"
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. The prince is also a state matter. After all, he was at fault first."
The queen persuaded her with gentle words, but couldn't help but said:
"Perhaps the prince is interested in General Ye's daughter?"
"I have seen Miss Bai Zhi in the past, and she looked like a lotus in autumn water. Otherwise..."
"Humph, he doesn't deserve it."
Emperor Xia immediately snorted coldly.
The two fell into silence, both feeling that the prince was behaving strangely.
Is it possible that he really fell in love with Ye Baizhi?
Or, is it a true prodigal son turning back?
The queen waited for a long time before expressing her inner worries: "Your Majesty, you also know that Xuan'er cannot practice cultivation due to my accident. If he is really punished and cannot come out until he practices, wouldn't he be trapped in the Ancestral Temple forever?"
After all, he is his biological son, so what mother wouldn't worry.
"Oh, what do you think I think?"
Emperor Xia was helpless: "It is better to lock him up for the rest of his life than to die outside one day."
"With his temper, even if he apologizes decisively now, he might cause you a bigger mess. This time, Ye Qing took care of my face and let him go."
"Can……"
The queen is at peace.
But when I think about the cold and bitter cold in the Ancestral Temple, I feel worried.
"Okay, since you are worried, I will accompany you to have a look." Emperor Xia was not a cool person.
From the fact that he only had one queen in his harem, it can be seen that he had a deep affection for the queen.
The two simply cleaned up.
Then he headed towards the Ancestral Temple.
For this reason, the eunuchs were not allowed to deliver news during the march, just to see the real scene.
Soon, the two arrived at the Ancestral Temple.
He waved his hand to stop everyone from spreading the news.
The two of them quietly touched the window of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
The two of them were so advanced in cultivation that Xia Lingxuan didn't hear anything at all.
Seeing the queen's nervous look, Emperor Xia couldn't help but shake his head.
How could this traitor be willing to be imprisoned in the Ancestral Temple and copy books according to his own words? At this moment, there must be a lot of eating and drinking inside, good wine and good meat.
After all, the prince who is imprisoned is still the prince.
Who dares to scold him?
Thinking of this, Emperor Xia slowed down.
"ah?"
The queen came to the window first. When she saw the scene inside, she almost screamed. She quickly covered her mouth, and the magic started to work, and a purple light shone to block the sound.
"Haha, you are really incompetent. You can't even pretend?"
Look at the other person's surprised face.
Emperor Xia, who was sure that the prince was enjoying himself, frowned and walked a few steps quickly to the window.
Only the inside is visible.
Xia Lingxuan was sitting behind a low table, holding the brush tightly in his hand, swiping at Fang Qiu, and copying the Great Virtue Sutra like flowing water on the paper.
He was extremely focused.
How can it be?
Is this traitor really thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors?
Where is his wine, and where is his meat? Could it be hidden somewhere?
Emperor Xia looked left and right, but couldn't find the evidence he thought he had. He couldn't help but be dumbstruck with the queen, and even thought it was ridiculous.
If this rebellious son had been like this, how could his reputation be stained?
If there was no blood induction, they would really think they were a different person.
However, I just don’t know if it’s just a moment of hard work.
The two looked at each other and instantly understood each other's thoughts. They just stood in silence under the cover of the spell, waiting for time to pass.
An hour.
Two hours.
Until the third hour.
It was only after dark that Xia Lingxuan asked his entourage to bring some light food and stopped his sore and sleepy right hand.
This traitor seems to be sincerely accepting his punishment?
Apart from eating and writing scriptures, there was basically no stopping for laziness.
The two of them had seen it with their own eyes, but they couldn't believe it. At this moment, they were confused and looked at each other speechlessly. They were both surprised and seemed to have a sense of unreality in their hearts.
It seems that everything in front of you is false.
But their cultivation is advanced and they can see most illusions clearly.
It was clearly confirmed that the prince was indeed copying the book.
Has this traitor really figured it out?
Do you know your responsibilities?
The confused two people did not disturb Xia Lingxuan, but left with worries.
Although he couldn't understand what happened, it was better than before. Now that he had thought about it, he didn't have to go out and cause trouble.
