Hold the thick thighs tightly [My father is a traitor]

Chapter 890 Sheng Hongtong: o (╥﹏╥)o, who will save me!

Everyone was stunned by Pei Dafu's words, and Funing Hall fell into deathly silence in an instant.

The Empress Dowager was the first to react, her chest heaving violently as she angrily shouted, "What nonsense! How could the Marquis of Xuanping be plotting a rebellion? Pei Dafu, what are you and your master planning?"

Pei Dafu was about to explain, but someone spoke before him.

Xiao Yining said solemnly with a serious face, "Empress Dowager, Marquis Xuanping is plotting a rebellion. My father has already found out that he is the mastermind behind the disappearance of the noble lady over 20 years ago. He was also the one who tried to take Sister Qing away yesterday!"

Sheng Hongtong, who was standing by, heard this and blurted out in disbelief: "What did you say? My useless cousin-in-law could find out this?"

Xiao Yining: →_→

"My dad has a good brain!"

Sheng Hongtong: ...

Everyone:...

The Empress Dowager's eyes twitched slightly. She knew the whole story of more than 20 years ago better than anyone else.

She lowered her eyes to look at the serious little kid, and heard Pei Dafu's noisy voice constantly in her ears. She immediately concluded that this was a conspiracy and trick used by the "Drunkard Emperor" to whitewash himself.

Even thinking this, the Empress Dowager still had a loving smile on her face and praised: "Your father is really amazing, he was able to find out this!"

Xiao Yining: (?＞?＜?), finally someone believes what she said!

Pei Dafu felt very sad when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that the thousands of words he had prepared were not as effective as one sentence from the little kid.

Then, he adjusted his mood and asked again, "Empress Dowager, the ministers have arrived at the Golden Palace. What do you think we should do?"

The Empress Dowager pursed her lips, secretly glared at the sleeping emperor, then turned to Sheng Hongtong and extended her hand, saying, "Let's go, Prince. Don't keep us waiting!"

Sheng Hongtong: =????(??? ????), there's rebellion! How dare he go?

The naughty child was timid and was about to retreat when the kid next to him couldn't wait to say, "Empress Dowager, Sister Qing wants to go to the side hall to watch Marquis Xuanping's rebellion!"

Not to be outdone, Wang Gungun and Lin Yinhu followed closely behind: "I want to go see it too!"

The three little ones had bright eyes and faces full of anticipation, and it was obvious that they had no fear of rebellion.

"No!"

Li Anhe immediately spoke out to stop them and instructed his daughter, "Wanniang, take the children back and take good care of them. Don't let them run around."

Although the Empress Dowager didn't take it seriously, she still warned him, "Go to Ai's palace. If anything happens, there will be people there to protect you."

Wan Niang did not dare to delay for even a moment and quickly agreed. She picked up her daughter who wanted to join in the fun, and told Lin Yinhu to hold Wang Gun Gun tightly, and then walked out quickly.

The Empress Dowager watched them leave, then cast aside her kindness, glanced at Li Anhe, and cursed her bluntly, "Beauty is truly a disaster!"

Li Anhe: …

Pei Dafu quickly interrupted: "Princess Jiahe, why don't you stay here for a while, so that His Majesty and General Wang can wake up and know that the Crown Prince has gone to court."

Li Anhe awkwardly picked up the handkerchief, touched the tip of his nose which was invaded by the smell of alcohol, and nodded silently.

Upon seeing this, the Empress Dowager snorted coldly, then lowered her eyes solemnly and looked down at the Prince again.

Sheng Hongtong's heart trembled, and he quickly put his little hand into her palm.

At the same time, he seemed to have infinite courage and shouted: "Grandmother, let's go and see how Marquis Xuanping rebelled."

The Empress Dowager glanced at the seemingly strong but weak young man and said soothingly, "Don't be afraid. When your father was still the Crown Prince, I saw that the rebels who rebelled against him could be lined up ten miles away. He is just the Marquis of Xuanping, so he can't cause any big trouble."

Sheng Hongtong: ??^??, he is not afraid, he just wants to cry!

Meanwhile, the atmosphere within the Golden Throne Hall was particularly tense. Officials had long awaited the emperor's arrival, and discussions were rife. Coupled with the recent spate of missing persons incidents in Yanjing, a sense of unease spread throughout the hall.

"Why hasn't Your Majesty come yet? Has something happened?"

"Be careful with your words. Your Majesty may be busy with affairs. Let's wait a little longer."

"How long have we been waiting? Even if His Majesty is busy, Eunuch Pei should have sent someone to inform us. This situation is unprecedented!"

"It's indeed strange. Could it be that the enchanting concubine has used some tricks to make His Majesty miss the morning court? While His Majesty was in the palace, he indulged himself in pleasure with Concubine Nuan and ignored state affairs for several days!"

These words were like a thunderclap, shocking the hearts of all the officials, and many people's faces turned very ugly.

Immediately afterwards, an old minister who was concerned about the country and the people angrily rebuked him in a serious tone: "This is ridiculous!"

As they spoke, these loyal and courageous ministers were about to rush into the palace, vowing to wake the emperor who was obsessed with beauty from the gentle arms of his enchanting concubine. Fortunately, they were stopped by officials who still had some sense.

The Golden Palace also fell into a small chaos.

Liu Yang's colleague glanced at the situation in the hall, then quietly leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Master Liu, do you think His Majesty is being pestered by Concubine Nuan again?"

However, Liu Yang was absent-minded, as if he had not heard these words. His bloodshot eyes were staring straight at the thing in his hand - a memorial impeaching the officials of Jingzhao Yin, Dali Temple and Ministry of Justice for their negligence.

Upon seeing this, his colleagues couldn't help but sigh and shake their heads in understanding, patting him on the shoulder to comfort him. They then turned their attention to the other colleagues who had abandoned their children, and saw them surrounding the case officer, anxiously asking about the progress.

Witnessing this scene, he returned to his original position, thinking that life is unpredictable.

Marquis Xuanping, who was also watching this scene coldly, stood among the military officers. He did not utter a word from beginning to end. Listening to the noise around him, a sinister arc gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The noise in the Golden Palace grew louder and louder, gradually spreading outside the palace.

The three people who were originally going to follow the palace servants around the Golden Palace to the harem also stopped abruptly and changed direction.

Wang and Lin stood outside the hall, secretly glanced inside, and took in the whole situation inside the hall. They both frowned and looked at each other in confusion.

Zhang Liangchuan, who was standing behind them, asked in confusion, "Two brothers, what happened in the hall?"

Wang Cheng replied truthfully, "I wonder why Your Majesty is not attending court?"

Lin Yuzan was worried and continued, "Brother Liangchuan, it looks like my uncle and I need to go to Funing Palace first to see His Majesty."

Hearing this, Zhang Liangchuan quickly said, "Then let's go together."

Wang and Lin hesitated for a moment, exchanged a look that only they could understand, then nodded in unison and prepared to walk towards Funing Palace.

Just at this moment, a long chanting sound suddenly rang out.

"The Empress Dowager has arrived, the Crown Prince has arrived!"

Wang and Lin paused again, and looking sideways, they saw the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince appear on the steps hand in hand.

The four of them met on a narrow road outside the hall, and their eyes met in mid-air.

Sheng Hongtong's tense little face almost collapsed. He tilted his head slightly and winked at the two old men with tears in his eyes. In a flash, he continued to walk into the hall without looking around.

The Empress Dowager did not stop, but nodded slightly to Lin Yuzan with a barely perceptible smile in her eyes as she passed by him, and then stepped into the hall.

The noise in the Golden Throne Hall came to an abrupt end, replaced by the sound of kneeling and knocking one after another.

At the same time, the Empress Dowager's voice, which was naturally dignified, came from the palace: "Your Majesty caught a cold last night and is feeling unwell. Today, I will assist the Crown Prince in handling state affairs."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuzan couldn't help but look into the Golden Palace out of curiosity.

As the Crown Prince was led by the Empress Dowager to the center of the Dragon Throne and seated, he immediately preemptively questioned, "When I arrived, I heard a commotion in the palace. Are you taking advantage of my father's absence to criticize him? You're so bold! I think since my father hasn't arrived yet, you've probably already planned how to usurp the throne!"

Lin Yuzan: ...

Civil and Military Officials: ...
