Chapter 240 - Living in the East Palace
Feng Yixuan frowned as he listened carefully, but he was actually somewhat relieved that Feng Jinhuan had gone. Yesterday, his ninth brother intended to let him go, but he was extremely uneasy in his heart. How could a child with such a complicated mind who could kill his father not be dangerous? Now after hearing what Jiujiu said, he felt that the child was not a simple character, and if he was left behind, there would definitely be endless troubles in the future.
"Jiujiu, you will live in the East Palace from now on. And after tomorrow, you can no longer call me father or dad. You should call me father emperor instead."
"Then let Jiujiu call you Dad a few more times today!" Feng Shijiu stood up slowly, tilted his head and called out naively again, but she didn't expect that a trace of sadness would emerge in her heart after she called out. She inexplicably thought of Feng Jinhuan. If Jinhuan could get a little favor from his parents, he wouldn't have come to this point today.
"Okay, you take a rest. Dad is going to the palace gate to pick up your mother. She should be there soon." After saying that, he turned and left.
"Mom is back? Jiujiu wants to go too!" Feng Mijiu chased Feng Yixuan and ran out.
At the palace gate, Song Yunshi saw Feng Shijiu running towards her from afar, and her heart finally settled down.
Feng Shijiu had always longed for his mother's embrace. He finally ran to her, but he didn't expect to be greeted with a slap in the face.
"Mom, why did you hit me?" Feng Mijiu asked aggrievedly, covering her cheek.
"What did your father and Uncle Nine tell you before they went to the battle? Did they teach you to knock out the guards and sneak out? Do you know that your mother's heart has been in your throat since you disappeared?" Song Yunshi scolded with red eyes. After she finished speaking, she could no longer bear the longing in her heart and suddenly pulled Feng Shijiu into her arms.
"Mother, Jiujiu knows she was wrong. Please forgive me." Feng Shijiu, who had been righteous and confident, felt extremely guilty when she heard Song Yunshi say that. She patted Song Yunshi on the back and kept apologizing.
As night fell, the palace was unusually quiet. There was no trace of the war or the desolation at all. The eunuchs were patrolling as usual, the palace maids were cleaning as before, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Less than five miles away from the imperial palace, Gu Liuqing's army had been secretly stationed for a long time. His lieutenants and soldiers had long been impatient, but were intimidated by the young emperor's iron-blooded wrist, and none of them dared to step forward and talk about attacking.
"Report!" A loud voice came from far away, and a soldier hurriedly ran to Gu Liuqing and raised the carrier pigeon in his hand.
"Present it." Gu Liuqing raised his head and said calmly.
Taking the letter off the pigeon's legs, Gu Liuqing calmly read it from beginning to end, then slowly stood up and shouted to the soldiers beside him, "Are you ready? We are about to start the attack!"
"Attack! Attack! Chu Nan will win and unify the world!" The soldiers, who had been ready to fight for a long time, raised their fists excitedly and shouted slogans, and their morale was boosted for a while.
"General Liu, count the number of people and horses. If there is nothing wrong, launch an attack in the direction of the imperial palace after one stick of incense. Do not delay for a moment. Do you understand?" Putting the fan on his waist, Gu Liuqing gave the order with a serious face.
"I obey your orders! Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
Gu Liuqing noticed that Gu Qinghong beside her had been frowning. After each general had been assigned a task by him, he handed the letter to her and explained calmly, "Sister, you don't have to worry. Feng Muyan is not in the palace at the moment. The difficulty of our attack on the palace has been reduced a lot."
