"Yes...... Be! "Shaoqing of Dali Temple has a hard time, and he doesn't dare to face the anger of Emperor Dongwan, so he can only respond first.
Emperor Dongwan took a few steps and came to the kneeling ministers, he sneered: "Before this matter is clarified, who dares to make any unreliable proposals...... Heh, I'm sure I'll teach him a lesson. โ
The official Shangshu, who was glanced at by Emperor Dongwan, trembled and did not dare to speak.
"Retreat!" Emperor Dongwan flicked his sleeves and left.
Wan Chun led a group of little eunuchs and maids, and followed behind Emperor Dongwan in a hurry.

Dongwan City, a slum area.
Since that day, Long Ning has been sticking to Xiao Yuqi, and he is busy making tea.
Xiao Yuqi realized that he didn't control it well and made such a stupid mistake. Although he still doesn't look down on Long Ning, he always feels that Long Ning has been injured twice, and he is still at fault.
Therefore, Xiao Yuqi's attitude towards Long Ning eased more than a little, and even treated Long Kai politely by three points.
Today, Long Ning was busy with another table of dishes, and after pouring the wine for Xiao Yuqi, he sat aside and didn't eat, just holding his cheeks and looking at him.
โโฆโฆ Don't eat, see what I do? Xiao Yuqi blushed slightly when she looked at her.
"Ning'er is afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have any orders, so it will be convenient to serve His Royal Highness the Prince." Long Ning smiled innocently.
Xiao Yuqi rolled his eyes, didn't look at her, and didn't answer.
Seeing that it was an opportunity, Long Kai said on the side: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really doesn't consider returning to the palace?" โ
Hearing this kind of persuasion to return to the palace, Xiao Yuqi didn't react much and left directly, he just frowned and drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp.
Long Ning hurriedly poured it for him.
Long Kai sensitively smelled the possibility that things could be explained, and he pretended to be careless and said, "I've heard that the head of the household department died violently last night because of the epidemic outside!" The people are saying that this is a precursor to the outbreak of the plague, but there are no two medicinal materials in the capital that can treat the plague! It's really bitter! โ
Xiao Yuqi frowned, and the fingers holding the cup added three points of strength.
Long Ning added firewood: "I heard that there is also a mess in the court, and several ministers want the money from the account opening department to cure this plague, but how can the treasury be so easy to open?" Alas, Your Majesty must be really worried now......"
Xiao Yuqi drank another glass of wine, and the sound of putting down the cup was a little loud.
This reaction...... Long Ning picked the corners of her mouth unknowingly, and she continued to say: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you better go back to the palace, Ning'er doesn't want anything else, I'm just afraid that Your Majesty will be worried about your body, this is not the scene His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see, right?" โ
No matter how Emperor Dongwan treats Xiao Yuqi, he is also Xiao Yuqi's biological father, and this friendship between father and son cannot be easily parted! That's what Long Ning gambled on.
Sure enough, Xiao Yuqi lowered his head: "Yes, I don't want to ......"
Long Ning glanced at Long Kai in surprise, and Long Kai was also full of disbelief.
"I don't know...... What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean? Long Ning asked cautiously.
"This palace wants to go back to the palace!" Xiao Yuqi said with a final word.
The claim has been changed, which shows that Xiao Yuqi's determination this time is still very firm, Long Ning and Long Kai both glanced at each other in surprise, they were about to give up Xiao Yuqi, who was stone-hearted, but they didn't expect it to be bright!
"It's really great that Your Highness can think like this......" Long Ning restrained the excitement in his words. Xiao Yuqi is willing to return to the palace, which means that their good days are finally coming.
Xiao Yuqi glanced at her lightly, and the expression in his eyes was uncertain.
On the second day, at the gate of Dongwan Palace.
The two guards guarding the gate of the palace were wandering outside the world, and from a distance, they saw a person who looked like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walking towards the gate of the palace.
......Guard: Isn't it rumored that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been missing for a long time? They all thought that Xiao Yuqi was dead, and it was too suspicious for a person very similar to Xiao Yuqi to appear at this time, okay?!
The two guards guarding the gate of the palace glanced at each other, and stopped Xiao Yuqi with a horizontal gun: "At the gate of the palace, don't be presumptuous!" โ
Xiao Yuqi was not angry, he smiled gently: "Dong Han, I haven't seen you for a long time, is this not recognizable to this palace?" โ
The chief guard who was called out of his name was shocked, as the chief of the palace guard, his name was not known to anyone who wanted to replace His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Could it be that this person is really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself?
Dong Han, the chief of the guard, bowed unconsciously, and he said in a careful tone: "His Royal Highness the Prince? โ
"Exactly." Xiao Yuqi put his hands behind his back, still smiling, gentle and elegant, and his temperament was natural.
Xiao Yuqi's posture vaguely had a bit of the demeanor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back then, and it coincided with the shadow in Dong Han's memory, Dong Han said respectfully: "It's really His Royal Highness the Prince!" The subordinates were offended. โ
Xiao Yuqi waved his hand: "It's okay." He didn't expect that there would be a day when he would return to the Dongwan Palace, and these servants under him had no way of knowing, and it was normal for people to remember clearly.
"It's just...... This ......" Dong Han hesitated to look at the sword behind Xiao Yuqi's waist, according to Xiao Yuqi's previous status, he could wear a sword in the palace. But now, why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left, everyone in the palace has three or two guesses in their hearts.
So now, can Xiao Yuqi still be allowed to enter the palace with a sword? Not to mention the truth or falsehood of Xiao Yuqi, Dong Han is still a little unsure, even if it is true that Xiao Yuqi is back, can His Majesty's attitude towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still be the same as before? !
Xiao Yuqi sensitively sensed the embarrassment of Dong Han, the head of the guard, turned his head to look at the saber on his waist, and thought of what Dong Han was embarrassed about after a few turns. He empathetically untied the saber on his waist and said to Dong Han: "This sword is heavy, please ask Captain Dong to help me collect it for a while!" โ
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious!" Dong Han hurriedly took Xiao Yuqi's sword and respectfully led Xiao Yuqi into the palace gate.
It is the palace wall with vermilion walls and white tiles, as high as if it is about to penetrate the sky, Xiao Yuqi looked at this familiar scene, and he didn't know what it was like for a while.
He turned out to be back again.
He came back on his own, back to the place where his true heart had been trampled under his feet. This is said to be the most prosperous and wealthy place in the world, but in fact it is just a place of golden cages.
Xiao Yuqi sighed very lightly.
โฆโฆ
Emperor Dongwan was angry in the imperial study, and the jade inkstone and other objects on the table were waved to the ground by him, and the fragments were scattered all over the ground. The people who were waiting, including Wan Chun, did not dare to touch Emperor Dongwan's mold at this time, and knelt neatly outside the door.
The subordinates who have been waiting for them for a long time know that they must not be ignored when Emperor Dongwan is angry, because instead of having an effect, it will only make Emperor Dongwan's anger stronger.
When Xiao Yuqi arrived, he saw this scene, and his brows furrowed fiercely.
Emperor Dongwan has a bad temper, and when he is angry, he likes to throw things, which is a habit he has had before. But now it seems...... Emperor Dongwan got angry a lot more.
Xiao Yuqi was still thinking about Emperor Dongwan, and Wan Chun had already seen him with sharp eyes, and almost shouted excitedly.
Unlike Dong Han, the chief of the guard who has nothing to do with Xiao Yuqi, Wan Chun is really familiar with Xiao Yuqi, the prince, and he can't be more familiar, so he instantly recognized Xiao Yuqi's true body.
At the same time, Wan Chun also knew very well that Xiao Yuqi's appearance at this time would definitely solve Emperor Dongwan's current predicament.
No matter how excited his heart was, as an old man who had served a generation of kings for more than ten years, Wan Chun still held back his excitement, he just shouted in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Wan'an." โ
"Hmm." Xiao Yuqi also replied in a low voice, "Father...... Emperor, in anger? Xiao Yuqi is still not very proficient in the fact that he is back, and this father shouted a little hard.
Wan Chun didn't notice it so much, but said with a hint of excitement: "Exactly, this morning, His Majesty made a big show in the court because of the plague in the capital, but unfortunately the courtiers didn't come up with a useful way, Your Majesty is losing his temper at this moment, and he drove all of our subordinates out......"
Wan Chun's excited tone infected Xiao Yuqi, and he said in a low voice: "Go in the palace and take a look, you don't need to report it first." โ
"Yes, the minion commands!" Wan Chun's tone trembled, Emperor Dongwan was in a bad mood, and their life as slaves was not easy, Xiao Yuqi's return could be said to be a send-off, "His Royal Highness the Prince, go in and take a look!" โ
Xiao Yuqi comfortingly pressed Wan Chun's shoulder and stepped in.
This slave who has served Emperor Dongwan almost all his life is also very hard, and he is still frightened when he is old.
When Xiao Yuqi walked into the imperial study, he saw Emperor Dongwan holding the table with both hands and panting, and his hair and beard were a little messy - obviously out of breath.
Emperor Dongwan was a little emaciated. This is an idea in Xiao Yuqi's heart.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Emperor Dongwan only thought that Wan Chun had come in, and turned around to scold: "Didn't I say it?!" Get out of here! Don't bother...... Qi, Qi'er? โ
Emperor Dongwan looked at Xiao Yuqi who suddenly appeared with a stunned face, the shock on his face was replaced by surprise almost instantly, Emperor Dongwan hurriedly walked a few steps, and stopped abruptly not far in front of Xiao Yuqi: "Emperor...... YouโWould you like to come back?! โ
Xiao Yuqi simply couldn't control the churning thoughts in his heart, and he couldn't react to Emperor Dongwan's words for a while. In the end, he bit the tip of his tongue until a rusty smell came out of his mouth, he collected his thoughts, knelt down on the ground and said, "Son, see my father!" โ
"Hurry, hurry up, no courtesy!" Emperor Dongwan excitedly helped Xiao Yuqi up with his own hands.
Xiao Yuqi insisted on completing this ceremony, and only then got up with the support of Emperor Dongwan: "Erchen thanked Your Majesty!" โ
Seeing Xiao Yuqi who had been missing for many days again, Emperor Dongwan was very emotional, and he even forgot about what he was angry about for a while. Emperor Dongwan looked at Xiao Yuqi carefully for a long time before he said: "The emperor has lost a lot, and he has suffered a lot when he wants to come. โ
"Father's words are serious." Xiao Yuqi's tone was light, and he skipped the hardships along the way.
