Chapter 103

Today the heir apparent's grand wedding, we have prepared many gifts, just waiting for Your Highness to arrive.

Prince, you have returned, so we no longer worry about the safety of the west.

Looks like, after returning home I should burn more incense and pray to Buddha; after all, during this period I have been vegetarian and chanting, and it really works—Prince has returned safely!

This is the blessing of Great Xia; heaven blesses Great Xia!

Excellent, with Prince Pingxi in our Great Xia, what fear do we have of that little Sunshine country?

The officials continued to speak, each saying a word, all of them praises for Prince Pingxi.

It seems that with Prince Pingxi present, everything will not become any problem.

However, they seem to be somewhat forgetful.

After all, regarding what I did to Yang Jun before, they seem to have forgotten it all.

Now, of course, they are just trying to curry favor, to show friendliness.

Yun Fengyun at this moment had a solemn expression.

Since Prince Pingxi's return, he was initially shocked, then also delighted.

But soon after, in many more aspects, he felt a heaviness and strong unease.

With a complex expression, he stood there, not taking any further action.

Elder brother!

Yang Ye released Yang Jun, after all this kid had stopped choking up.

He comforted Yang Jun with a few words, then stepped forward to greet Yun Fengyun.

Next, he did something that shocked everyone even more.

Yang Ye stepped forward and firmly embraced Yun Fengyun, bursting into loud laughter.

Elder brother, have you missed me?

Right, when I died, did you cry?

You, I am the emperor…

Yun Fengyun was truly helpless, letting out a cold snort.

At this moment his tone was full of disdain.

However, he did not struggle, but allowed Yang Ye to hold him.

After all, Yang Ye has always been like that.

Straightforward in demeanor.

In dealing with people and matters, he never hides anything.

This adopted brother really gives Yun Fengyun a headache.

Those who rule, all have some suspicion.

Therefore, in these matters, there will be many suspicions.

Such things are also quite normal.

However, Yang Ye's response remains open and aboveboard, without any concealment.

Such matters force Yun Fengyun to recall the past, when he and this adopted brother fought bravely against the enemy, sharing life and death.

Over these many years, the adopted brother has not changed.

On the contrary, the adoptive elder brother who sits on the dragon throne seems to have undergone a change.

Now, the civil and military officials, at this moment, all dropped their jaws in astonishment.

Prince Pingxi actually dares to treat the emperor this way; if placed on any minister, they wouldn't even dare to think of it.

The incident is too stimulating; everyone feels even more uneasy.

You should know, the Yun clan royal family also has many princes.

Even so, when these people see the emperor, they can only respectfully address him as Your Majesty or Imperial Elder Brother.

Hearing these titles, they seem almost the same.

But who could understand the myriad differences hidden within?

"Tell me, how did you survive? The military report said you died in battle."

Yun Fengyun also finally calmed down.

He gazed at Yang Ye before him and asked in a low voice.

"Those were merely a makeshift plan to deal with Sunshine."

Yang Ye still appeared completely composed, responding verbally, and then respectfully performed a rite before the spirit tablet on the table ahead.

"Only in this way can those lurking villains be unable to restrain themselves, jump out first, and then be eliminated all at once."

"Nowadays, the Sunshine kingdom has withdrawn its troops, so I have hurried back to witness my son and Xiao Liu."

Yang Ye spoke loudly; as his words fell, outside immediately rose a chorus of congratulations.

"Congratulations to the heir apparent's grand wedding!"

"Congratulations to the heir apparent's grand wedding!"

"Congratulations to the heir apparent's grand wedding!"

These voices rang high, piercing the clouds.

Yun Fengyun's face looked somewhat grim; these voices were not uttered by the officials.

He gazed into the distance, seemingly seeing rank after rank of Pacified West Army generals, and behind them a torrent of ironclad troops!

He actually brought a contingent of the Pacified West Army back to the capital?

Yun Fengyun was greatly shocked, and involuntarily began to weigh what kind of result this affair would bring.

Both the royal clan and the officials were shocked by this heaven‑towering sound.

The Heir of Prince Pingxi's wedding, celebrated by the Prince Pingxi's great army, seemed like the most natural thing.

Now, this kind of might and such grandeur only made everyone feel shocked and astonished.

Yun Fengyun's face grew ever darker, for in his view such heaven‑toppling might should never appear before this emperor.

In the whole Imperial Palace, in the whole Great Xia, aside from himself this true dragon Son of Heaven, he would allow no one else to have such might!

Yun Fengyun gave a light cough, his gaze locking onto Yang Ye.

"Brother, you know Yang Jun's reputation over these years."

"Furthermore, Yang Jun acts immaturely, so in the matter of the Prince Consort, I favor Zhou Tian."

"Today, if Yang Jun can defeat Heaven, then I will permit his marriage with Xi Yue."

Yun Fengyun's words left the nearby imperial relatives stunned.

At this moment, everyone also sensed the majesty and indisputability embodied in the emperor's words.

But now this matter seems rather difficult to handle.

Prince Pingxi is not dead, and he has returned.

To have Prince Pingxi watch his own son and Zhou Tian compete, with their lives at stake, seems unlikely.

What Prince Pingxi faces is not just his sworn brother, but also the current Son of Heaven.

In such a predicament, torn between sides, what decision should be made?

Everyone guessed that, given Prince Pingxi's aura and might, he would likely directly oppose the emperor.

At this moment, the civil and military officials also turned their gazes, all trembling with fear.

Look at Zhou Tian by the emperor's side, then look at Yang Jun behind Yang Ye.

Amid the tense standoff, there were too many unforeseeable dangers lurking.

At such a time, nobody dared to speak lightly.

How the situation will be, how it will proceed.

Nobody knows, and no one dares to guess what the outcome will be.

Zhou Tian gripped the holy sword, slowly emerging from the pressure brought by Prince Pingxi.

Now, as long as Prince Pingxi agrees to the emperor's demand, he can act and display his might!

Yang Jun, how could he be a match for Zhou Tian?

But Prince Pingxi is here; he certainly would not stand by and watch his son go to his death.

Thus, opposing the emperor is certain.

At this moment, everyone was thinking about how the situation would develop and proceed.

What will happen next?
