Chapter 5: Prince Consort? (Third update today! Please collect it and vote for it, your golden eyes will be overwhelmed!)
The imperial capital of Zhao State is located in the very center of the capital. In front of the imperial capital is a broad street called Tianhe Street, which connects Lingshui, the capital, and major traffic arteries. All the dignitaries in the imperial capital live here, and there are no ordinary people around.
The place to stand. The deserted streets have changed from the prosperity of the past. Except for a pair of stone lions outside the huge palace gate, they are the guards.
After saying goodbye to General Liu Dehai, the group of three people walked towards the imperial capital. The three people walked slowly through Tianhe Street. Xiang Tianci looked at the deserted street with a curious look in his eyes and walked outside the palace gate.
Zhao Feiyan took out a green token.
The two guards had no expression on their faces. They glanced at the token, then at the three people, and nodded.
‘Creak!’ The huge palace door opened, and behind the deep steps was the majestic Imperial Palace, with vermilion tiles and magnificent buildings, all showing the emperor’s domineering style and unparalleled majesty.
A guard came over, smiled at the three people, and led the three people towards the palace.
Along the way, there were soldiers standing next to the broad steps. They were all in military uniforms, and the spears in their hands were extremely sharp. At the end of the steps was a huge palace. The palace had an extraordinary temperament and the scenery was quite exquisite. In front of the huge palace was a broad road.
The rippling river, the sunlight imprinted on the river, is broken into sparkling light spots, one after another.
As he got closer and closer to the magnificent palace, Xiang Tianci couldn't help praising the prosperity of the imperial capital. This huge palace was many times grander than his own Xiang Mansion. With such a domineering and magnificent building, I am afraid that only the aloof emperor could do it.
Xiang Tianci had a calm expression on his face, not surprised at all by going to such a place.
The three of them came to the inner hall under the summons of King Zhao. At this time, there were not many ministers in the inner hall. The remaining ones must be the confidants of the old King Zhao.
King Zhao looked old indeed, and was already in his twilight years, but his withered eyes seemed to erupt with two bright rays of light, which made the three of them feel shocked. The current King Zhao is different from the legendary one.
They are completely different. Instead of dying, they are full of energy.
The expression of King Zhao made Zhao Feiyan's bright eyes twitch, but this woman was also a person who could adapt to changes. She quickly knelt down and her sweet voice resounded throughout the hall, "Yan'er pays homage to his father. May he be as blessed as the East China Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains! Yan'er today
Return, I have missed my father for a long time."
King Zhao still loved this daughter very much, but he didn't know that Zhao Feiyan was not his daughter. He glanced at Zhao Feiyan who was kneeling and said with a smile, "You girl, my father has been looking forward to your return every day, why are you here today?"
return!"
Zhao Feiyan smiled and said, "Father, I came back three days ago, but the guards of the imperial capital told my daughter not to walk around casually in the imperial capital, otherwise she would be severely punished by military law. If my daughter hadn't missed her father, she wouldn't be here today.
I took the risk to see your old man."
After hearing this, King Zhao had a trace of doubt in his eyebrows and said, "What happened to the imperial capital? Why didn't I know?"
Zhao Feiyan blinked, it seemed that King Zhao was still kept in the dark by that guy Zhao She.
"Haha, maybe it's because the National Day is coming, so the military is busy with this matter." Zhao Feiyan said casually.
The minister below also said, "There are only three days left, and it is the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the founding of Zhao State. All departments are extremely busy, so they have asked the nobles in the imperial capital to reduce their travels to avoid unnecessary trouble."
.”
The person who said this was none other than Zhao Rong, the number one figure in the Zhao State’s military!
Zhao Feiyan glanced sideways at Zhao Rong, but didn't say much. Zhao Feiyan was very clear about the current situation in the empire. It was already obvious that Zhao She and Zhao Rong were plotting a rebellion. It was just a pity.
The old King Zhao was killed, and now he is still kept in the dark.
"Father, you should pay more attention to your health. I met my eldest brother Zhao She when I was at the academy. He said that you were in poor health. Yan'er was worried and ran back to see you." Zhao Feiyan muttered to her.
King Zhao said.
King Zhao smiled and felt even more happy when he saw Zhao Feiyan caring about him so much. He smiled at Zhao Feiyan and said, "I don't know, Yan'er, but my father did suffer from a strange disease some time ago. If he hadn't met a light magician,
How can a father get better so quickly?"
Zhao Feiyan nodded, "Strange disease? How could my father get a strange disease?"
Zhao Rong explained, "Yan'er doesn't know, but a year ago, Wang and I went hunting and encountered a powerful dark monster in the Magical Beast Mountains. This monster was actually able to fire wind magic. Wang was harmed by that monster."
He contracted a strange disease, and he felt confused and distraught all day long. Later, a powerful light magician came to the imperial capital, and he helped the king remove the root cause of the disease, and the king finally recovered."
Hearing this, Zhao Feiyan nodded, with a complicated look on his face.
But Xiang Tianci beside him couldn't stop shouting about the dark-type monsters, "Is it Horn? Isn't he just a dark-type monster? But why did King Zhao go to the Magical Beast Mountains a year ago, and how did he meet Horn?
?”
Zhao Feiyan looked at King Zhao and said, "Father, please take care of yourself. Yan'er cannot be by your side. I hope you will forgive me!"
King Zhao looked at Zhao Feiyan, laughed, and said, "Yan'er, my father is not fine now, it's okay, it's okay!" King Zhao focused his attention on Xiang Tianci. After all, Li Yue was Zhao Feiyan's bodyguard, and he still knew him.
Yes, it’s just that Xiang Tianci looks a little strange.
"Yan'er, this young master doesn't know...?"
Zhao Feiyan smiled at King Zhao, put her lotus arms on Xiang Tianci, and said, "Father, this is the child's fiancé Xiang Tianci. He is the future Duke of the Augustine Empire and is currently a member of the Holy Knights of Linjiang City.
Sir, Xiang Tianci!"
King Zhao didn't care about the identity of the future Duke of the Augustine Empire, but for the position of leader of the Holy Knights, King Zhao's eyes lit up.
In the entire Fawu Continent, who doesn’t know the power of the Holy See of Light? The power of the Holy See, whether in the west or the east, is deeply feared. Moreover, Xiang Tianci is also the leader of the Holy See Knights. This status is enough for those forces to make friends.
.
Although he is only a knight commander in one place, it is enough. After all, the most powerful one in the Holy See is the Holy Knights. As the leader of the Knights branch, his status is absolutely transcendent.
King Zhao looked at Xiang Tianci, smiled, and said, "Come here, bring him a chair!"
The eunuch moved the chair over, and King Zhao said, "Brother Xiang, please sit next to me!"
King Zhao's words made the expressions of the ministers below suddenly change. They didn't expect King Zhao to value Xiang Tianci so much!
King Zhao seemed to have noticed the criticism from the ministers below, and immediately said, "As you all know, Yan'er is my daughter, and now she has reached the age of marriage. Your Excellency, the Knight Commander, will be my Prince Consort of Zhao Kingdom in the future.
Is there anything wrong with letting him sit next to me?"
