Chapter 741 Almost everyone in the East Palace was arrested

The East Palace almost suffered a devastating blow. Almost all the courtiers of the small court were arrested and sent to other courtyards of the palace on the grounds of combating corruption.

It was announced to the outside that it was not a detention, but an investigation. The people in the East Palace also knew very well that as long as Nangong Yitian went to guard the mausoleum obediently, these people would naturally be released.

If he didn't go, he would be disregarding the life and death of these people, and in this case he would also lose their support.

A prince who has never established a firm position needs the support of his ministers most, because they have their own factions. If one person supports him, there is another faction behind him.

And after people were being kidnapped one after another, Nangong Yitian didn't do anything, as if he was helpless.

The emperor felt that it was time to give him a warning. As long as he was willing to guard the mausoleum obediently and be the prince obediently, there would naturally be no more attacks on the East Palace.

Therefore, he ordered people to send Nangong Yitian to the Imperial Study Room.

Father and son have not sat together and talked for a long time. In the past, they would occasionally sit down to have tea and drink and discuss matters in the court.

But now that the emperor saw him sitting aside with a strange face, his heart ached faintly. Even at this time, he still loved his son in his heart.

It's a pity that he was not satisfied and was deceived by women, so he did things that disobeyed his father.

"In the past three years, you should reflect carefully in front of your mother's mausoleum. Your imperial grandmother and I have high hopes for you and hope that you will stop doing biased things."

Nangong Yitian remained silent and looked indifferent. He couldn't make excuses and there was no need.

Seeing his attitude, the emperor's initial pity disappeared immediately, and he said angrily: "Do you have to be so stubborn? Do you have to continue to suffer?"

Nangong Yitian raised his head and glanced at him, his lips seemed to be mocking, but he remained silent.

The emperor slapped the table and said, "Don't think that I am really unwilling to punish you. Does your attitude seem to indicate that you are half aware of your mistakes?"

"What's wrong with me?" Nangong Yitian asked.

The emperor was startled, and there was a sudden haze and disappointment in his eyes, "It seems that you still haven't been taught a lesson, and you are still resentful. I have hurt you in vain."

"Love me? I have thanked my father for his love."

The voice was full of sarcasm.

When the emperor called him over, he thought he was somewhat scared. After all, he had captured the people from the East Palace. He should be more aware of current affairs because he was unable to do anything on his own. However, he turned out to have such a weird attitude.

The emperor was extremely disappointed and did not want to say anything more to him. He said angrily: "Get out!"

Nangong Yitian stood up expressionlessly, turned around and walked out without even looking at the emperor. Such a defiant attitude made the emperor so angry that he had a heart attack.

He immediately made up his mind that if he still had the same attitude after three years, he would give up.

After the anger passed, I gradually calmed down, and I couldn't help but think of the willow bank outside the Guangming Palace that night, Dong Gong Liangdi?

Xiao Guangzi was waiting at his side. When he saw that the emperor's expression suddenly became condensed, as if he was having some aftertaste, he knew better and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report. The Crown Princess has obeyed the order and brought Liang Yuan and Liang Di from the East Palace." Send them out of the palace and give them their freedom."

"So impatient?" The emperor couldn't help but shook his head, "The Crown Princess's reckless behavior has reached the point of lawlessness. It is really disappointing to be so intolerable."

He seemed to have completely forgotten that he had given the order.

Perhaps because of the removal of the power of the East Palace, the emperor now does not dislike Leng Xiao too much, but he still feels that she is not tolerant, narrow-minded and jealous, and is not a virtuous woman.

"Your Majesty, Qi Liangdi has nowhere to go after leaving the palace. It's really pitiful to hear that she is living in an inn now." Xiao Guangzi said softly.

The emperor raised his eyes and said calmly: "Take her back to the palace secretly and stay with me to serve her. Give her a different identity."

"Then the emperor named her..."

The emperor said coldly: "Just wait by my side."
