Chapter 551: with translation of chapter title

Emperor Longqing flew into a rage and directly ordered someone to drag Bai Xiaosheng away.

Xiao Ting beside him moved his lips as if to say something, but dared not continue.

Father Emperor, during this period, because of the torment of illness, his temperament is quite different from before.

At this time, to touch Father Emperor's bad luck is basically to seek death; yet he says these words today, taking such a huge risk, just to make Bai Xiaosheng and Xiao Yin have no place to bury themselves.

I never expected Bai Xiaosheng to actually gloss over this with some vulgar talk; indeed he is a ruffian of the jianghu.

However, as long as we lock him up in the Imperial Clan Office, there are plenty of ways to make him die.

Now he actually wants to see how Father Emperor will deal with Xiao Yin and the Rui Wangfu.

Emperor Longqing stared fixedly at Xiao Yin, who stood to the side, bowed with head lowered, silent.

This person is his hidden danger, yet he simply cannot kill him.

He himself has already fallen ill to this point; if he doesn't act now, it will be too late.

My body previously owed much to the Princess Consort of Rui's care.

Gu Jiu Ling hurried forward a step, knelt down, and said: "Your servant wife can share the Emperor's worries; that is her fortune."

Emperor Longqing waved his hand and said slowly: "You two always act strangely, but since you are members of the imperial clan, you should be more careful in your conduct."

Xiao Yin stepped forward and knelt: "Your Majesty's admonition is noted; I will certainly pay attention from now on."

Emperor Longqing trembled as he rose, looking down at Gu Jiu Ling kneeling before him: "The Princess Consort of Rui's medical skill is superb; perhaps she should stay in the palace to treat Me."

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Yin lifted his eyes to look at Emperor Longqing, instantly losing his composure.

A flash of killing intent passed through Emperor Longqing's eyes as he stared fixedly at Xiao Yin: "What? Can't I move the Princess Consort of Rui?"

Xiao Yin's face darkened; this imperial older brother of his was all too familiar to him.

If we talk about shamelessness, he would rank second; no one in the world dares claim first.

Now seeing that his health has improved considerably, yet he insists on keeping his own princess consort in the palace—what he wants is obvious; he is forcing me to rebel.

But if he rebels, the Azure Dragon Army's honor will be ruined in his hands.

Xiao Yin's hands clenched into fists, staring fixedly at Emperor Longqing standing on the steps, about to speak.

Suddenly Gu Jiu Ling smiled and said: "Prince, I will stay in the palace. After all, the Emperor's dragon body is important; I am a physician, a healer with a benevolent heart—no problem; after a while I will return."

Gu Jiu Ling naturally understands Xiao Yin's dilemma; she does not want Xiao Yin, because of her, to have brought things to this point only to abandon them halfway—what a pity.

Moreover, the matter has not yet reached its final step; as long as there is a little room for maneuver, she will strive onward.

Xiao Yin, upon hearing Gu Jiu Ling say that, felt his blank mind gradually regain consciousness.

He had actually already made preparations, but he never expected that this crucial link would have to be filled by Gu Jiu Ling, and his inner fear could not be suppressed.

At this moment, meeting Gu Jiu Ling's steadfast gaze, Xiao Yin forcibly suppressed the struggle within his heart.

Well then, tonight he will give this father and son an explanation.

They wanted him to rebel; seeing that they are watching a show, let them watch it to their heart's content.

Xiao Yin slowly kowtowed, looked at Emperor Longqing and said: "Your Majesty's kindness to me is weightier than mountains; in my youth I was on good terms with my elder brother; now that Your Majesty's dragon body is ailing, I, as a younger brother, naturally ought to attend by Your Majesty's side."

"May I also remain in the palace? The palace attendants serve the Emperor, but I worry they may not be diligent; may I personally attend to the Emperor?"

As soon as Xiao Yin spoke these words, even Noble Consort Ning'an sitting to the side was stunned—could Xiao Yin be foolish?

If he really dared to move into the palace, his own people couldn't get in; killing him would be as easy as lifting a hand.

They had already taken a great risk by detaining Gu Jiu Ling; unexpectedly, detaining one resulted in also retaining another—since that's the case, let's dispose of both tonight.

Noble Consort Ning'an's face showed a relieved smile, though it didn't reach her eyes; she glanced lightly at Xiao Yin: "You've gone to trouble for this child; tonight arrange for the two of you to enter Jingqiu Palace to keep the Emperor company."

Noble Consort Ning'an's words settled everything; Emperor Longqing, for a moment, didn't know whether to be happy or worried, and was actually at a loss for words.

Tonight he intended to deal with Xiao Yin; not expecting Xiao Yin to stay voluntarily is actually excellent—killing one is killing, killing two is also killing, better to avoid long nights and many dreams.

The arrangement by Emperor Longqing and the Noble Consort to forcibly keep the Rui Wangfu couple in the palace city left everyone else suddenly astonished.

Ling Feng's face changed drastically, but was stopped by a gesture from Xiao Yin.

Those who supported Xiao Yin were also frightened half to death by his maneuver; Prince Rui, what are you trying to do? Are you really going to serve the tiger with your own body?

This sudden change was truly too abrupt; everyone was startled.

In an instant, the formerly bustling palace banquet became deathly silent.

Even Xiao Ting gave Gu Jiu Ling a fleeting glance, suppressing the guilt in his heart.

Although Gu Jiu Ling had once been kind to him, this woman, he has already done his utmost.

He repeatedly urged her to leave Xiao Yin and follow him.

But she turned him away at the door; now she regrets it.

He had already given her a chance; it is this woman herself who does not want it.

Emperor Longqing slowly rubbed his brow: "I am tired today; everyone, please withdraw."

The guests at the banquet, having seen this, were dumbstruck; this is a vortex of right and wrong—they must stay as far away as possible.

Otherwise, once drawn into this storm, it will be either death or injury.

Thus Emperor Longqing issued the order to expel guests; the people around scattered in all directions, hastily leaving this place.

Only some military personnel remained standing here, looking on eagerly; Prince Rui gave them a casual glance and nodded at them.

Those people had no choice but to leave first; the moment they stepped out, they all spread the news—tonight is destined to be a sleepless night; brothers, stay alert.

Ling Feng gripped Xiao Yin's token, hurrying along the narrow palace passage.

His gaze was icy cold; he didn't even take a carriage, using lightness skills to fly over eaves and walls, sweeping past the already silent streets.

Then he turned into an inconspicuous alley and whistled.

The shadows around rushed toward him from all sides; even some were fierce generals from the court, and they now encircled Ling Feng.

"Prince, what exactly is going on? Why are you staying in the palace?"

"This is no joke; the combined strength of the palace's Feathered Forest Guard and the imperial secret guards is not to be underestimated!"

Yeah, this approach is really too abrupt; although the Prince is highly skilled in martial arts, one fist can't fight four hands—how can one person deal with so many people?

What should we do? Are we going to launch a palace coup tonight?

Ling Feng understood that the Prince did this just to accompany the Princess Consort, and he couldn't help but sigh.

The Prince had plotted for so many years, all for the Princess Consort, and had taken such a great risk; also Xin Tou Bu Zhi Dao Shuo Shénme good.

"Listen to the order!" Ling Feng raised the token in his hand, his voice icy.

"Enter through the Vermilion Bird Gate at midnight tonight; everything, follow the orders!"
