Chapter 271 Reception
"waste!"
A glazed luminous cup was smashed to the ground, and the delicate cup body instantly turned into several pieces and scattered all over the ground.
Zhu Yan looked at the furious princess, lowered his head and remained silent, trying hard to reduce his presence.
"He even had the nerve to swear to me that he would get rid of that evil creature. But before I even finished my tea, the assassin he sent was captured alive. It seems that Huineng has become a useless chess piece."
After Chen Lingyi finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and pinched her eyebrows, looking a little tired.
"Princess, calm down!"
Seeing that the princess' tone had slowed down, Zhu Yan spoke cautiously, "If the assassin had not confessed, Huineng would still be safe, unlike An Luhai, a spy who had already been exposed."
Chen Lingyi did not buy Zhu Yan's consolation. She lowered her eyes and thought for a while. She uttered eight words lightly from her beautiful red lips:
"It would be better to kill by mistake than let go."
Zhu Yan was not surprised by Chen Lingyi's method of eradicating the roots, but...
“After all, Huineng has been lurking in the northern border for a long time. If he has not become a useless chess piece, he can still serve the princess.
If we get rid of An Luhai and Huineng at the same time, we will lose important intelligence spies in Yizhou and even in the entire northern border. If we continue to train them slowly, it will probably take up more time and effort."
"Princess."
The voice of Ah Qiao, the mistress, was heard outside the door.
"Come in."
Seeing A'qiao coming in, Zhu Yan took a step back on her own initiative. A'qiao passed by Zhu Yan and moved closer to Chen Lingyi.
"Princess, Aqiao has prepared a hot spring bath. Princess, why don't you go and relax?"
"Well, when the emperor comes, I won't be able to soak in the lotus soup anymore."
……
A few days later, the majestic imperial procession of Emperor Tianqi arrived in Yizhou.
The emperor's traveling procession was very long. In addition to the cavalry guards at the head and tail, there were also the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Guard Department who were dispatched to provide support and protection around the procession.
In the middle of the team were endless horse-drawn carriages, some carrying people and some carrying goods.
In front of the Taiping Palace, Prince of Yan Chen Ji and Princess Chen Lingyi stood on the left and right, waiting for the imperial arrival.
A pair of dragon boots poked out from the bright yellow carriage. A young eunuch was already kneeling under the carriage. He was the emperor's personal dismounting saddle, and was the most prestigious among all the young eunuchs serving him.
Feeling suddenly stepped on his back, the young eunuch's head dropped three inches, with a vein bulging on his forehead.
The young eunuch was only twelve years old and his body had not yet fully grown. When he was stepped on by a pampered superior, he needed to use a lot of strength to keep his balance.
Fortunately, the feet on the eunuch's back soon disappeared, and the eunuch's head slowly raised up, but it was still in a bowed posture. According to the rules, he had to stand up quickly and retreat behind the imperial carriage.
Who knows.
"what!"
A scream suddenly exploded from above, and the young eunuch, who had just stood up halfway, was so scared that he immediately knelt down with a pale face.
There's another person in the carriage? ! !
Emperor Tianqi turned around slowly, revealing a face that was very similar to Princess Qingyi, except that the princess's facial features were brighter, while Emperor Tianqi's face had more angular features of a man.
It turned out that Emperor Tianqi and Princess Qingyi were twins, a boy and a girl. If their biological mother had not been just a palace maid of lowly status, Huizong would probably have been very happy.
"My dear, what's wrong?"
The one who just screamed was Emperor Tianqi's most beloved concubine, Bai.
