Without waiting for the Regent to react.
Xuanyuan Longcheng, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had already given the order to allow Xuanyuan Qiong outside the study room to enter.
Such an unusual move instantly threw the regent, who had the advantage in momentum, into chaos.
"His Majesty!"
"Uncle, don't worry, I'm not a savage beast..."
A cold smile.
As if he had found the other party's weakness, Xuanyuan Longcheng said slowly: "I have long heard that there is a little princess beside the emperor's uncle. We are all descendants of the royal family. In other words, we are one family. I really want to get to know this sister."
Although the words are high-sounding.
But the regent knew very well that the other party was hiding a knife in his smile and wanted to use Xuanyuan Qiong to find a breakthrough in the matter.
As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.
The imperial family has always been ruthless and trapped in the whirlpool of power. There is no family ethics of ordinary people at all. Everything is just a game of weighing interests!
It doesn't take a while.
Accompanied by the messenger from the Forbidden Palace, Xuanyuan Qiong, who looked like a girl, stumbled into the study room.
He glanced around.
Not paying attention to Emperor Yong'an on the dragon throne at all, Xuanyuan Qiong quickly knelt down in front of the regent and said with tears: "Uncle Emperor, you must help me!"
"Nonsense!"
My heart couldn't help but tighten.
The regent flicked his sleeves, pushed away the tearful girl, and shouted angrily: "As a descendant of the royal family, it is an unforgivable crime for you to break into the imperial study without permission. Have you forgotten even the most basic etiquette of a monarch and his ministers?" Well, this is simply unreasonable!”
Slumped on the ground.
Xuanyuan Qiong was stunned, the tears on her face had not yet dried up, and she suddenly felt a chill coming to her heart.
"That's all."
A hint of gloom flashed between his eyebrows.
Xuanyuan Long Chenggu made a magnanimous gesture, waved his hand, shook his head and sighed: "The people present are all members of my family, there is no need to pay attention to so many etiquette."
"No!"
He arched his hands.
With large beads of sweat on his forehead, the regent said solemnly: "The imperial power is supreme, the distinction between monarch and ministers, and the order of superiority and inferiority. This has been the rule of the Great Xia Empire since ancient times. How can it be treated as a child's play."
On the surface, he is extremely harsh, even a little unkind.
But in fact, the reason why the regent was so harsh was entirely to protect Xuanyuan Qiong.
The old prince knows the horror of political struggle better than anyone else.
Only by doing this can the situation be stabilized, and at least Xuanyuan Longcheng's heart can be less grudged.
"What are you doing standing still!?"
His eyes were as wide as copper bells.
The regent frowned and scolded in a deep voice: "Why don't you come see your majesty soon!"
He suddenly came back to his senses.
Xuanyuan Qiong's expression was in a trance, and she quickly turned over and knelt on the ground. She knelt three times and kowtowed nine times in the direction of the dragon chair, and said tremblingly: "See, your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live..."
"Get up."
Lift your chin.
Xuanyuan Longcheng looked at the girl in front of him with great interest, and suddenly said: "We seem to have met somewhere..."
As soon as these words came out.
Xuanyuan Qiong, who had just stood up, immediately felt shocked and almost fell down again.
"Ah, I remembered it!"
He slammed the tabletop.
Xuanyuan Longcheng pretended to be mysterious, pointed at the girl in front of him, smiled and said: "Three years ago, I accompanied the late emperor to enjoy flowers in the imperial garden, and happened to encounter a scene where you escaped from the palace privately and were surrounded by the envoys of the forbidden palace. .”
The pupils shrank suddenly.
Xuanyuan Qiong's shoulders were trembling, and with her head lowered, she didn't dare to look at the two people in front of her.
The regent on the side also felt something was wrong.
He deliberately wanted Xuanyuan Qiong to leave this place of right and wrong first, but before he could speak, he heard Emperor Yong'an on the dragon throne suddenly change his subject.
He muttered to himself.
"I remember that you seemed to be staying with the 'Spirit Boy Saint'. For this matter, my father was furious on the spot. Not only did he imprison the 'Spirit Boy Saint' again, he also sent you to a solitary room."
My mind went blank.
Xuanyuan Qiong trembled all over, recalling the original experience, she still felt frightened at this moment.
"Your Majesty, this child..."
Already aware of the seriousness of the situation, the regent looked at the high throne.
He originally wanted to intercede for Zhou Xuan, but Xuanyuan Longcheng raised his hand and stopped him on the spot.
"Just now, I heard you making a noise outside, saying that you had something urgent and wanted the regent to help..."
Lift your chin.
Staring at the girl intently, Xuanyuan Longcheng signaled: "Now, you can openly state your request. I promise you that even if the regent is unable to do it, I can make the decision for you."
"Really, really?!"
He raised his head happily.
Xuanyuan Qiong's eyes sparkled with luster, looking innocent as if he had seen the light of day.
"But it doesn't matter." Xuanyuan Longcheng, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had deep eyes and responded calmly.
At this moment.
Only the regent on the side felt great pressure. He knew very well that the Emperor Yong'an in front of him was by no means a kind person. This newly ascended monarch of Great Xia was far more ruthless than his father.
In order to achieve the goal, it can be said that any means are used to the extreme!
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you for a decree..."
Kneel on the ground respectfully.
Xuanyuan Qiong's expression was full of longing, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Please give the order to release Lin'er, who has been locked up in the palace, so that she can regain her freedom!"
"Kneel down before me—!"
Xuanyuan Longcheng didn't have time to respond.
The regent couldn't bear it any longer. As he stood up and stepped forward, he pressed the girl's head down.
"His Majesty......"
Then they knelt down on the ground together.
The regent lowered his head, with a tone of supplication in his tone, and said humbly: "This child is too young and too straightforward. Please don't get to know her. I swear that I will discipline her strictly in the future and never let her Run around again!”
"Uncle Emperor, I can't figure it out~!"
He stood up and resisted stubbornly.
Xuanyuan Qiong opened the old prince's big hand and retorted: "Where did Qiong'er go wrong? I just want to fight for Lin'er's right to freedom. Besides, His Majesty also said that he would make the decision for me. What are you doing?" Well?!"
"Shut up!"
He scolded in annoyance.
The regent was uncharacteristically showing no kindness and kindness to her. He raised his hand and slapped her away.
"You have no place to speak here!"
I couldn't help but froze on the spot.
Xuanyuan Qiong felt a burning pain on her cheek, and she covered the side of her face, dumbfounded.
For three years.
No matter how misbehaving she was, the regent never laid a hand on her.
Reluctance and humiliation surged into my heart instantly.
Until this moment, she still didn't understand why her imperial uncle, who had always loved her, suddenly changed his temperament.
"Uncle Emperor, why bother?"
Sitting on the magnificent dragon chair.
The corners of Xuanyuan Longcheng's mouth raised, and there was a hint of cold and piercing murderous intent in his smile.
"Little girl, do you know..."
Narrow your eyes.
Emperor Yong'an stretched out half of his body, and his eagle-like gaze was instantly revealed.
"The Lin'er you mentioned is a rare treasure to me!"
