Chapter 1970: Imperial Visit to Yuzhen Palace! (2/2)

Consort Taizhen stood up, a smile flowering on her lips.

A few moments later, the gate to Yuzhen Palace was opened. Consort Taizhen had finished bathing and was clothed in a white palace gown, appearing like an ethereal fairy who had stepped out of a painting as she waited.

At this moment, Consort Taizhen was so dazzlingly beautiful that even her attending palace maids were stunned.

At the same time, in his carriage headed toward the inner court, the face of the 'Sage Emperor' was overflowing with hatred.

”Li Taiyi, today, I'll seize your woman! Let's see what you can do to stop me!

”You brought her into the palace but did not even touch her! Did you think you could hide her from me? Today, I'll make you regret this decision for the rest of your life!”

The face of the 'Sage Emperor' was so twisted that it looked nothing like its usual self.

Bang!

Suddenly, when the 'Sage Emperor' was still several hundred meters from Yuzhen Palace, boom! The 'Sage Emperor' in the carriage seemed to crash into an invisible barrier with such force that the carriage was pushed backward a distance.

”Your Majesty!”

Cries of alarm came from all around, and several Golden Guards rushed up with panicked expressions.

”Your Majesty, are you okay?”

In the carriage, the 'Sage Emperor' was also dumbfounded. He had never predicted this.

”What happened?” the 'Sage Emperor' asked in alarm.

”Your Majesty, nothing happened!”

”This lowly subject does not know!”

Outside the carriage, the panicked Golden Guards kneeled.

No one understood what had happened, only that the carriage had seemed to crash into some vast energy, and it seemed that this energy had come from inside the carriage.

”Forward! Forward! Forward!”

In consternation, the 'Sage Emperor' repeated the same word three times.

But a moment later, the carriage seemed to crash into an invisible barrier again, and the strength this time was so great that a crack appeared on the carriage.

Drip!

Moreover, a liquid trickled down. The 'Sage Emperor' reached out to feel his face and came away with blood.

”Li Taiyi! You bastard!”

The 'Sage Emperor' finally realized what was going on.

That bastard had placed a seal over Consort Taizhen and all of Yuzhen Palace. If he approached, he would suffer a vicious backlash.

Just two attempts had left his face covered in blood.

He had no doubt that if he continued to try, that bastard would truly bring down the both of them.

”I won't give up! We will never give up!”

The 'Sage Emperor' was wrathful, but in the end, he gave up on Yuzhen Palace for now and headed back to his own residence.

In Taiji Palace, the 'Sage Emperor' furiously called out, ”Attend me! Now! At once!”

”Your Majesty, your slave…”

The eunuchs and palace ladies flooded into Taiji Palace, but before they could even stand straight, the 'Sage Emperor' turned around and slapped them, sending a eunuch and several palace ladies crashing into a wall.

”You damn slaves!

”Useless things!”

The 'Sage Emperor''s furious roars resounded through the hall.

”Your Majesty, forgive us!”

The remaining guards, palace maids, and eunuchs turned ghastly pale and immediately prostrated on the ground.

But in response was an even more infuriated roar. Stellar Energy rumbled, and a shockwave spread outward and tossed up all the chairs, tables, pastries, decorations, wine cups, and foods in the hall, wreaking havoc and chaos.

The guards, palace maids, and eunuchs could only tremble in fear.

”Out!”

Upon hearing this angry bellow, all the servants felt they had been granted a pardon, and fled the hall.

Furious curses and the sounds of crashing and breaking persisted in the hall for several hours.

At some point, a voice shouted into the hall, ”Your Majesty, a letter from Youzhou! Deputy General An Yaluoshan of the Andong Protectorate has prepared one hundred Hu beauties and offers them to Your Majesty, wishing Your Majesty a boundless longevity!”

”What?!”

All the chaos in the hall died away as the Sage Emperor turned toward the entrance.

……

Meanwhile, after the court session was over, Wang Chong returned to his own estate.

”Your Highness, what do we do now? The Sage Emperor has placed Your Highness under house arrest for three months. This will make Your Highness unable to do many things and pose a great inconvenience,” Zhang Que said.

The missions to the far north and the northeast were done, and Zhang Que had returned several days ago.

All of Wang Chong's subordinates knew about today's court session.
