C17 (1/2)

So much had happened in the palace last night.

Everyone felt a bit depressed during the banquet tonight. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen in such a joyous day?

The king's face darkened. Who was the mastermind behind this?

Who exactly was that Vice Commander serving? Could it be that another wave of power was growing?

This question not only troubled His Majesty, but also the Old Prince and Chu Xiaotian.

The scene from years ago, when the king's power was about to be overturned, uncontrollably appeared in the emperor's mind once more.

At that time, when the Son of Heaven was still young and he had just ascended to the throne, he had no power whatsoever.

In the end, the situation became even worse. The Prime Minister actually raised his army to rebel.

At that time, there was no one close to the emperor.

He still remembered how touched he was when the soldiers went on a rampage and a young eunuch stood in front of him.

At that time, the young eunuch had already transformed into the current steward of the king with a shake of his body.

At that time, the young Emperor was extremely afraid. Facing the fear of death, how many would not be afraid?

He remembered crying when the soldiers surrounded him, when he was twelve.

He remembered the wild eyes roaming over him, the mocking laughter echoing in his ears, and then he was desperate.

Just as the blade was about to hack at him, a mighty general rushed in from outside. His face was covered in blood, and the youth in white beside him was also covered in blood.

The soldiers were stunned by the scene, and it was at this moment that the Son of Heaven was saved.

The moment General Wu had appeared, he had dealt with the soldiers surrounding His Majesty.

Then, he shouted, ”Ming Fan, bring His Majesty away first!”

The moment he turned around, he saw the mighty general getting shot by an arrow. At that time, the youth in white's eyes suddenly turned red, and in the blink of an eye, he had rushed in front of the general and asked, ”How is it?”

”It's fine. Hurry up and take his Majesty away.”

The general was almost furious. The youth seemed to have noticed something. When he looked out the window, his face darkened and he muttered, ”Father, protect His Majesty. Let me do it.”

The general looked at the youth with some worry, but seeing the confidence in the first year's eyes, he walked up to the king with his hands covering his chest. His mighty body shielded the king tightly.

At that moment His Majesty felt that he was no longer alone, no longer afraid.

He didn't know how that youth had managed to do it, but he could hear miserable cries coming from outside.

Finally, when everything returned to peace and quiet, the public square outside was littered with corpses.

That youth was also leaning on his sword as he stood there, appearing extremely exhausted. In the end, he actually fell down.

Seeing the horrifying side of the man, the king could not help but hold the mighty general tightly as he muttered to himself, ”Third uncle, I'm afraid, I'm afraid.”

The general patted him gently on the shoulder and said, ”Everything will pass. Everything will pass.”

”Come, Your Majesty asks this old official to toast you.” A genial voice sounded from the wine table.

Under Old Wang's lead, the atmosphere clearly became a lot better. A faint smile appeared on everyone's faces.

It was already dawn. There was only light. The sun could not be seen. Chu Feng walked out of his room and looked to the sky. His gaze became firm.

Then he walked towards his grandfather's room.

”No, how can I do that? Stop talking, I won't agree.” A loud shout came from a woman.

Chu Feng looked at his grandfather with a pleading gaze.

His grandfather shrugged helplessly. His meaning was clear, he would settle his own problem by himself.

After Chu Feng saw it, he turned his gaze to his grandmother.

The madame was furious when she heard her grandson say that he was going to wander around. She had already lost a son, so how could she lose her only grandson?

Thus, when Chu Feng suggested this idea, he rejected it immediately.

”Grandma, it's really okay, I promise.” Chu Feng said in a swaggering manner.

The old lady didn't even look at Chu Feng. If she understood that, then don't even think about it. There was no discussion about it.

”Feng'er, what happened yesterday?” Chu Xiaotian recalled the final question that the three brothers discussed last night, and could not help but raise it.

Chu Feng pretended to be in a group and asked, ”What do you mean, what happened? Grandfather, what are you doing! ”

When Chu Xiaotian heard his grandson's words, his expression turned sour. He had never thought that his beloved grandson would still keep secrets from him. For a moment, his heart ached.

”Grandfather, you mean the soldiers from yesterday?” Chu Feng said with a puzzled tone.

When Chu Xiaotian heard Chu Feng's question, he was a bit happy. He didn't understand what Chu Feng meant just now and was still randomly thinking. He smiled and nodded his head to show that Chu Feng was that matter.

”I was angry when those people tried to arrest us yesterday, but I didn't do anything.” Chu Feng stopped.

His grandfather doubtfully asked, ”He didn't make a move?”

Chu Feng said a bit bashfully, ”When the guard wanted to chop at me, Steward Wang stood in front of me.”

Chu Feng said with a bit of disagreement.

When Chu Xiaotian heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't think that there would be such a good servant. When he thought about how Steward Wang didn't bring up this matter, he felt guilty.

Chu Feng saw his grandfather's puzzled gaze and continued saying, ”I thought that Steward Wang was quite nice, so I knocked down those soldiers and left them on the ground.”

Chu Xiaotian heard Chu Feng's words and stood up. He looked at Chu Feng and asked, ”Did you beat up all the soldiers?”

Chu Feng firmly nodded and said a bit embarrassedly, ”If it wasn't for my lack of strength, I wouldn't have stood up with those people outside.”
