The emperor refused to believe it and shook his head in denial.
"You made a mistake, you must have made a mistake, Sikong Yu, you are powerless..."
"Father, if he wants to see you, he will be at Sikong Academy. You will know whether it is yes or no as soon as he sees you."
Jun Lingyun's words turned the emperor from disbelief to anger.
"Sikong Yu is a traitor to the imperial court! Why didn't you directly arrest him and bring him to justice? Instead, you let him put forward conditions and blackmail me?"
Compared with the emperor's excitement, Jun Lingyun was a little too calm.
"He said that he has what the father wants in his hands."
The emperor's eyes flashed. What he wanted, what he had sent people to search for but could not find, was in Sikong Yu's hands?
Jun Lingyun felt the uneasiness in the emperor's heart. After all, he was his biological father who was related by blood, so he gave some advice.
"Father, if you know your mistakes, correct them. There is no way you can do better! If you made any omissions in the affairs of the Sikong family back then..."
"Bang!"
Before Jun Lingyun finished speaking, the emperor picked up an inkstone and threw it at Jun Lingyun.
The ink bloomed on Jun Lingyun's robe and splashed onto his handsome face.
All this happened so fast, and the sound of the inkstone falling to the ground shocked Eunuch Fu to the point where he was at a loss what to do.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't do that."
"Get off!"
The emperor gave Eunuch Fu a sharp shout, but Eunuch Fu did not dare to persuade him any more, so he could only look at Jun Lingyun worriedly and retreat carefully.
In the empty hall, only the emperor and Jun Lingyun, father and son, were left.
The emperor looked at Jun Lingyun sternly.
"What did I do wrong? The Sikong family are all rebels! As the crown prince, you actually spread the word for the rebels!"
Jun Lingyun didn't move at all, nor did he show the slightest fear of being scolded by the emperor.
"Father, whether you are wrong or not is not only reflected in the judgment of others, but also in your own heart. When you came back from your dream at midnight, did you really not think about comforting the souls of innocent people who died unjustly?"
The emperor was very emotional.
"I am the emperor! I am the True Dragon Emperor! If you want my ministers to die, I have to die. I cannot make any mistakes. In the long scroll of history, the Sikong family must be rebels and traitors!"
What does Jun Lingyun not understand about the emperor's words? His father was not kept in the dark and fooled by the Xiao family. His father knew that he was wrong but did not want to repent.
Jun Lingyun felt sad in his heart. He had always had a glimmer of hope, hoping that his father would mistake Zhongliang for a traitor because of the Xiao family's conspiracy. Now, this glimmer of hope has been shattered.
"Father, I want to know the reason. You must eradicate the real reason behind the Sikong family."
The emperor looked at Jun Lingyun's eyes, which were similar to those of Queen Yin, and was speechless for a moment.
If he said he had never regretted it, that would be false. But if he had it to do over again, he wasn't sure whether he would make the same decision again.
As long as the Sikong family is immortal, it is impossible to say that all the important ministers of the imperial court in the future will be students of the Sikong family, Ke Qing. So, is the world of the Yunxiao Kingdom the world of the Jun family or the world of his Sikong family?
And Sikong Yu! Any woman who dares to covet him as the emperor should die.
"Please step back, I will resolve this matter myself."
Jun Lingyun glanced deeply at the emperor, knowing that talking more would be useless, so he stopped talking, bowed to the emperor, and then turned around and left.
After leaving the palace, Eunuch Fu was already waiting with a wet handkerchief. He hurriedly stepped forward and handed it to Jun Lingyun, and whispered:
"Your Highness, this has been a problem that has plagued the Emperor for many years. You..."
He wanted to advise Jun Lingyun not to get serious with the emperor about Sikong's family matters. The emperor's anger would do him no good.
But thinking about Jun Lingyun's temper, he changed his tune.
"Be careful."
Jun Lingyun took the handkerchief, wiped off the black ink on his face, and gave Eunuch Fu a meaningful look.
"Do you know what happened back then?"
Eunuch Fu was shocked. The emperor at that time had issued a death order. Even if he had the intention to help the prince, he couldn't say it, otherwise he would definitely die.
"Your Highness, I can't remember old things, old slave."
Jun Lingyun understood, either he couldn't remember, or he couldn't tell. What was the truth that even Chu Yunxi wanted to hide from him? Is it really that hard to tell?
Jun Lingyun threw the veil back into Eunuch Fu's hands and strode away.
The emperor looked at Eunuch Fu who came in to take care of things, and asked with a stern expression:
"What did you say to him?"
Eunuch Fu's heart trembled and he fell to his knees. The emperor's trust in him was also based on his strict mouth. He knew so many things about the emperor, and if the emperor suspected him, his life would not be saved.
"Your Majesty, you are my God. Even if I have a hundred courages, I would not dare to do anything that would harm the Emperor. I am just afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince would go out like that and others would comment on the rift between the Emperor and his son.
, so I took the veil and wiped it with His Highness."
The emperor's expression softened slightly.
"Get up. I don't blame you for anything. The prince has grown up under your eyes. It's right for you to feel sorry for him. As long as you are sensible."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Fu stood up tremblingly, his legs a little unruly. He thought to himself that if he really said something to the prince just now, he would probably go out sideways now.
Three days later, a letter was mixed with the memorial and delivered to the emperor's desk.
In the past few days, because of his anger with Jun Lingyun, the emperor personally reviewed the memorial.
When he saw the white envelope with no words on it, the emperor's eyebrows knitted together.
Open it slowly and take out the letter:
"Today at noon, Sikong Academy, Mid-level Pavilion!"
The emperor clenched the paper in his hand, and his heart surged with anger. He had to go through many checkpoints before the memorial could be delivered to him. Sikong Yu was able to insert his letter into it!
He even extended his hand to his palace!
"Come here and recruit the commander of the Royal Forest Army!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
At noon, the emperor left the palace privately. After Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi learned about it, they were both shocked. The emperor left the palace. Could it be that Sikong Yu was here?
"Xi'er, please stay in the East Palace and don't run around!"
"Ling Yun!"
Jun Lingyun stepped up and was about to go out, but Chu Yunxi called out to stop her. But she didn't say anything.
With her mentor on one side and Jun Lingyun's biological father on the other, she didn't know how to give instructions.
Jun Lingyun already understood her worries.
"Don't worry, I will protect him from leaving at the critical moment."
Jun Lingyun walked away quickly, with Bai Xiao following closely behind. Chu Yunxi's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
After today, either the emperor will abdicate or Sikong Yu will be hunted down. She and Jun Lingyun seem to be unable to do anything in this grudge between their elders.
Bai Xiao catches up with Jun Lingyun.
"Master, are we going to protect the emperor?"
"No, protect the leader of the Life and Death Sect, Sikong Yu."
Bai Xiao touched his head, who to protect? The master of the Life and Death Sect? No, wait, Sikong, Sikong Yu? Isn't that a member of the Sikong family who was exterminated twenty years ago?
Bai Xiao thinks that he may have selective amnesia. The leader of the Life and Death Sect is Sikong Yu, and the master wants to protect this traitor from the imperial court? Why doesn't he know this?
