Chapter 211 Unnamed Draft
After Long Shang brought Yun Hao to the gate of the Prince's Mansion, they saw that Sun Cheng and the Imperial Guards had completely surrounded the Prince Jing's Mansion.
"Commander Sun, what do you mean by this?" Yun Hao said coldly.
Long Shang stood there, exuding a murderous aura, staring coldly at Sun Cheng, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
Sun Cheng was momentarily intimidated by his imposing manner.
After a long while, he finally came to his senses, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, ignored Yun Hao, and looked at Long Shang and said: "Your subordinate is here on the orders of the Empress to escort the Emperor back to the palace. Please, Prince Jing, take your subordinate to see the Emperor."
"The Empress's order?" Long Shang sneered. "Since when has the Emperor needed the Empress's permission to do anything?"
Sun Cheng didn't care about Long Shang's attitude and said with a faint smile, "Your Highness is too kind. It's just that it's already very late and His Majesty hasn't returned to the palace yet. Her Majesty the Empress was worried about His Majesty's safety, so she sent me to bring His Majesty back to the palace."
"Then please have Commander Sun return to the palace and inform Her Majesty the Empress that His Majesty will not be returning to the palace today and will be staying at Prince Jing's residence for the night," Long Shang said expressionlessly.
Sun Cheng frowned: "I'm afraid that won't work. The Empress has ordered that the Emperor be brought back to the palace tonight, and I am simply following orders."
"Insolence!" Yun Hao roared, drawing his sword.
This bastard is actually being disrespectful to their master; he's practically asking for death.
Long Shang waved his hand to stop Yun Hao and looked coldly at Sun Cheng.
Sun Cheng ignored Yun Hao and looked at Long Shang, showing no intention of backing down.
"Then just wait and see." Long Shang said coldly before leading Yun Hao into the mansion.
Long Shang told Emperor Tianqi, Prince Yu, and Tang Zhenhong about the situation outside.
The old Prince Yu said angrily, "What does the Empress mean by this? Does she want to rebel? And old man Shen, is he just letting his granddaughter run wild like this?"
Tang Zhenhong didn't say anything, because he felt that if the Empress dared to do this, Shen Zhiyuan must have agreed. Moreover, they must know about the Emperor's coma, and even the Emperor's poisoning was related to them. Unfortunately, he had no evidence.
Emperor Tianqi's expression shifted unpredictably before he looked at Long Shang and asked, "Do you have a solution?"
Long Shang glanced at Emperor Tianqi, "Isn't this what you're planning to do?"
"I'm unconscious, what can I do?" Emperor Tianqi said shamelessly.
Tang Zhenhong and Prince Yu lowered their heads, feeling that Emperor Tianqi was being somewhat shameless at this moment.
Long Shang was too lazy to pay him any more attention. He turned around and left the house to arrange the next steps.
Seeing this, Emperor Tianqi waved his hand to let Prince Yu and Tang Zhenhong leave, then closed his eyes: "Yes, he is unconscious now, as long as he remains unconscious, that's fine."
When Prince Yu and Tang Zhenhong came out, they saw Sun Cheng leading people to surround Prince Jing's mansion.
Sun Cheng ignored Tang Zhenhong, but saw the old Prince Yu step forward to greet him, "This subordinate greets the old prince."
Prince Yu snorted coldly, "I dare not. My surname is Long, not Shen. I cannot accept Commander Sun's bow." With that, he turned and left.
Upon hearing this, Sun Cheng cursed inwardly, thinking, "This old bastard is really sharp-tongued; he actually dared to use my surname to mock me."
Sun Cheng was displeased, but considering the purpose of this trip, he suppressed his displeasure and ordered his men guarding the door: "Pass on my order: from now on, no one is allowed to leave the Jingwang Mansion. Anyone who tries to force their way in will be killed without exception."
The imperial guards responded in unison.
Sun Cheng nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the Prince Jing's residence with a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.
The next morning at court, all the ministers waited outside the Golden Palace.
It was already time for the morning court session, but the Emperor had not yet summoned them to the Golden Palace.
Some of them already knew about the emperor's coma, and they were all whispering among themselves, each with a solemn expression on their face.
At that moment, Gao Ming hurriedly walked over from a distance.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and said, "I apologize for keeping you all waiting. His Majesty has matters to attend to today and cannot hold court in the morning. Please go back now."
His words had barely left his lips when they were met with a buzz of discussion, clearly indicating that most people did not believe him.
But Gao Ming didn't care about any of that. Just as he was about to leave, a voice came from afar, "Is there something that prevents you from coming, or is it that you simply can't come at all?"
Everyone immediately stopped whispering and looked up toward the source of the sound, where they saw Empress Shen leading a group of people over.
She wore a light blue long dress, her jet-black hair was styled into a fairy bun, and she was adorned with several jade hairpins. She looked elegant and dignified.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress!" Everyone knelt down and said in unison.
Empress Shen nodded slightly, then stepped into the Golden Palace, and everyone quickly followed.
Gao Ming, with a solemn expression, followed him inside.
