The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty froze in place.
He felt that he had heard wrong.
Somewhat bewildered, he looked at Chu Rouyun.
The latter stayed silent without saying anything. She seemed to be letting him do as he pleased.
Their silence made the imperial guards and Fang Li confused.
Fang Li, in particular.
He couldn’t understand what was going on.
Why did they stop talking all of a sudden?
‘Grandpa, what’s after that?’
‘Do you want me to give the order to the imperial guards?’
The imperial guards were confused too.
‘What exactly are they doing? Your Majesty, can’t you finish everything in one go?’
Everyone looked at each other, full of curiosity.
However, at this point, they were really at a loss for what to do.
“Rouyun, what do you mean by that?”
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty looked at his empress and asked in a shaky voice.
This time, he was really dumbfounded.
He didn’t know what to say.
“Your Majesty, I’ve found Sister Changling’s lost son.”
Chu Rouyun sent a voice transmission and she tried her best to make herself sound calm. However, even then, what she said made him tremble.
“You found him?”
“Rouyun, are you lying to me?!”
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty felt his body go numb while blood surged to his brain.
Changling was his most beloved sister and although she was just a half-sister, he was much closer to her than his other siblings with whom he shared the same mother.
When his sister wanted to marry the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, he was dead set against it.
If she hadn’t insisted on doing so, no one could have stopped him from opposing.
It was safe to say that in the entire Great Qian Dynasty, Princess Changling was the only person who could influence his thoughts.
When he heard of Changling’s death later, he was miserable for three whole years.
Three whole years.
In fact, he had even thought of declaring war with the Great Xia Dynasty to make the emperor pay for it, an eye for an eye.
However, in the end, he held back because he didn’t want the people of his dynasty to suffer as that would increase his sins.
After all, his sister had left behind an orphan.
However, he didn’t expect the Great Xia Dynasty palace to lose his sister’s only son.
That incident was the very reason that the Great Qian Dynasty severed ties with the Great Xia Dynasty completely. For the past two decades, the people of the Great Xia Dynasty would have to undergo strict checks before they could be granted entry to the Great Qian Dynasty. If it wasn’t for something important, they basically wouldn’t let anyone from the Great Xia Dynasty in.
That was enough to prove how much the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty hated the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
For the past two decades, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty had been constantly looking for the whereabouts of the Tenth Prince, but for twenty years, there was no news at all.
Although he didn’t want to believe it, he knew that his poor nephew might have been tragically killed.
However, he didn’t expect to hear the empress say that his nephew had been found.
Seeing Chu Rouyun’s reaction, he felt that she was very confident about it.
At the thought of this, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty suddenly reacted and realized why the empress would act out of the ordinary today and embarrass him in front of everyone.
She would usually not be so insensitive.
After hearing her explanation, he completely understood
“Your Majesty, I wouldn’t lie.”
Chu Rouyun said seriously.
At this moment, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was completely agitated and his voice seemed to be trembling too.
“Who? Who’s my nephew? Where is he? Quick, take me to see him.”
The emperor sent a voice transmission. Although he was excited he knew that he couldn’t let a third person find out about it.
“Your Majesty, your nephew is Su Changyu. He’s in the main hall now.”
Chu Rouyun answered.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty came to a sudden realization.
However, he couldn’t be blamed for being foolish, he was just too hot-headed at the time.
Besides, he was naturally agitated to know that his nephew had been found.
That was the reason for his slow response.
“Su Changyu?”
“Quick, take me there to have a look.”
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty said agitatedly.
“Your Majesty, I can take you to see him but you have to pay attention to your image and attitude. I didn’t inform Changyu of his identity, so…”
Chu Rouyun said via a voice transmission.
After all, Su Changyu did not know anything about his identity. Otherwise, he’d definitely be unable to accept it.
“I understand, I understand. Quick, let me meet my nephew.”
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty said excitedly.
He didn’t want to do anything except see his nephew now.
“Your Majesty, come with me.”
Chu Rouyun didn’t say much more and was ready to lead the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty to the main hall.
However, at this moment, Fang Li suddenly interjected.
“Grandpa, Grandma, what are you doing?”
Fang Li couldn’t understand what was going on at all.
‘Didn’t you come over to help me take revenge?’
However, the emperor and empress of the Great Qian Dynasty simply looked at Fang Li.
Their gazes were profound.
However, Fang Li only felt somewhat puzzled.
To the emperor and empress, their grandson was important and they doted on him too.
However, their nephew mattered more.
Well at least, Fang Li had been living in luxury in the palace with both his parents present.
He was at least favored and allowed to be a tyrant in the palace.
The two of them were well aware of all his sordid acts previously, but in their eyes, he was just a naughty child.
Moreover, Su Changyu was different. He grew up as an orphan who suffered lots of hardship.
Coupled with their guilt and love for Princess Changling, all their emotions were piled together.
They were naturally guilty and full of inexplicable love for Su Changyu.
Hence, their love for Fang Li paled in comparison.
The emperor followed Chu Rouyun into the Zhaixin Hall.
At this moment, in the Zhaixin Hall.
Su Changyu didn’t even know what was going on.
He was sitting in the main hall and thinking about how to leave the Great Qian Dynasty.
He didn’t want to come to the Great Qian Dynasty in the first place.
He just wanted to hurry to the Great Xia Dynasty and ask OId Xuan for an explanation.
God knows how he ended up in the Great Qian Dynasty and got involved in such trouble.
He even heard someone asking him to come out.
Su Changyu was somehow flustered.
He seemed to have vaguely remembered that the kid he beat up had claimed that he was the grandson of the emperor.
Su Changyu didn’t really know what that meant but it sounded impressive to him.
He wondered if Chu Rouyun could settle it.
If she couldn’t, he would just flee.
‘Ah, indeed, handsome people just face trouble everywhere they go.’
Su Changyu couldn’t help but sigh.
However, at this moment, two figures appeared in the hall.
One of them was Chu Rouyun while the other was a middle-aged man who was clad in a black robe with golden dragons embroidered on them. That made him feel somewhat scared.
Su Changyu got even more flustered.
‘What do I do? What do I do!?!’
‘Are they here to question me?’
‘Oh dear, oh dear, how did I end up getting involved in such a matter?’
Su Changyu was vexed.
He was anxious and scared but he wished he could explain it.
He didn’t know if they were willing to hear his explanation.
In the main hall.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was extremely agitated.
He hadn’t entered the main hall yet, but he had already seen Su Changyu.
Clad in a green robe, Su Changyu was seated and he had an extraordinary aura. He looked rather handsome too and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he looked otherworldly.
The most shocking thing was that Su Changyu had a transcendent aloofness which made him look as cold as an iceberg. He didn’t seem snobbish, but rather, he seemed to be high above the world.
‘It’s him.’
‘It’s him.’
‘This is my nephew.’
‘This is my nephew.’
The moment the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty saw Su Changyu, he was sure that he was his nephew.
Otherwise, how could he look so handsome and have such a similar aura to Changling?
If Su Changyu was a woman, he would look even more like Princess Changling. The emperor even felt that he had seen his sister.
Su Changyu’s aura resembled hers greatly.
It was almost identical.
At this moment, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty froze in place.
For some reason, he felt his eyes get a little warm as he somehow felt like crying.
“Changyu!”
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty couldn’t help but cry out emotionally.
However, in an instant, Su Changyu spoke up too.
His voice was calm and slightly aloof.
“I beat him up.”
His calm voice contained a faint hint of arrogance.
That shocked the three of them.
Su Changyu froze too.
‘Huh?’
The emperor and empress didn’t know what he was saying.
Neither did Su Changyu himself.
“Oh dear.”
‘It’s acting up again.’
Su Changyu, who was in the main hall, was already on the verge of despair.
He was ready to die.
‘I’m dead meat this time.’
However, the empress immediately reacted.
She couldn’t help but chuckle. She looked at the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty and explained, “Your Majesty, Changyu is talking about your grandson.”
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty told the emperor what Su Changyu meant.
‘Oh!’
The emperor nodded.
However, Su Changyu froze.
‘Your Majesty?’
‘This person is the emperor?’
Although he didn’t understand official positions and the hierarchy, he knew what ‘His Majesty’ stood for.
‘Have I provoked the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty?’
‘I’m going to be in hot soup.’
‘I’m dead meat.’
“Oh dear.”
“Oh dear.”
‘It’s over for me, I’m going to die.’
Su Changyu cried, finding his life to be really pitiful.
He actually provoked the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
At this moment, Su Changyu had resigned to fate and was ready to die.
However, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath when he thought about that.
Since he had to die no matter what, he decided to give up on himself.
He didn’t want to beg for mercy anymore.
He found it pointless.
Anyway, he was dead meat!
Su Changyu had nothing else to say if he had provoked someone else.
However, the problem was that he had provoked the emperor, so naturally, he felt hopeless.
He had to die anyway.
Su Changyu immediately couldn’t help but take a deep breath again.
He looked at the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty and said calmly, “Your grandson is being such a rude tyrant at such a young age. He has no morals or manners.”
“If you don’t take him in hand, he’s going to cause trouble to the people of the world in the future. You have to punish him no matter what.”
“I won’t regret this at all.”
Su Changyu said.
This time, he didn’t slip up.
This time, he had said those words for his own sake.
There had been countless people who died since ancient times. Su Changyu had to pretend to be impressive even until he was dead.
He had to pretend for himself.
However, as soon as he said that, the emperor and empress couldn’t help but be stunned.
They didn’t expect Su Changyu to have such a great opinion.
The emperor wasn’t angry at all.
They exchanged glances and understood what Su Changyu meant.
“Fang Li has indeed been a bit naughty.”
The emperor sent a voice transmission. His tone was calm but it was clear what he meant.
“Yes, we have spoiled him rotten over the years. He’s not that young anymore, and Changyu is right. If we don’t take him in hand now, he will be a disaster to the world in the future.”
Chu Rouyun also approved of what Su Changyu said.
They were aware of Fang Li’s actions, but Fang Li was a little smart and would make sure that he didn’t go overboard. Hence, everyone would usually give in to him.
After all, he was just a teenager who was about 13 or 14 years old. There was no need to exact force on him.
However, if anyone else had said this, the emperor and empress wouldn’t be bothered.
However, the words sounded more acceptable because Su Changyu was the one who said them.
“Little Friend Changyu, I understand what you mean.”
“I have to go and handle some matters now, don’t get angry. Rouyun, take Changyu to get some rest and leave everything else to me.”
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty spoke coldly.
He had seen Su Changyu.
However, he was at a loss for words.
He wanted to tell Su Changyu that he was his uncle.
However, he was worried that Su Changyu might not be able to accept it.
Most importantly, Su Changyu’s clothes were made for the royals of the Great Xia Dynasty and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty might have long found out about Su Changyu’s existence.
However, even then, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty didn’t inform him about it.
He had to deal with that matter.
Of course, nothing else mattered.
The main thing was that Su Changyu had been aggrieved.
‘Fang Li, Fang Li.’
‘I usually pamper you so much but I didn’t expect to end up harming you instead.’
‘I’m going to teach you to be a good person today.’
With that thought in mind, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty left.
However, Su Changyu was shocked at this moment.
‘There’s actually such a logic?’
‘Really?’
‘Tsk, tsk.’
‘No wonder he’s the emperor, he’s so magnanimous.’
Su Changyu suddenly had a great impression of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
At this moment, outside the Zhaixin Hall.
Princess Xu Yang had already brought the Crown Prince over.
The Crown Prince, who was in his thirties, looked rather refined. He and Princess Xu Yang were advising Fang Li not to create trouble.
“Father, Aunt, don’t spout nonsense anymore.”
“I have never suffered such a big loss in my life. I won’t let Su Changyu off.”
Fang Li was very stubborn and would not let Su Changyu off even if he died.
“Fang Li, forget it if you get up to nonsense all the time but don’t go on anymore. Listen to me.”
The Crown Prince was a little angered.
His son had been spoiled rotten by his parents, which caused him to be unruly and difficult to discipline.
Once he disciplined Fang Li, his father would reprimand him, and hence, the Crown Prince was very upset.
However, even though he said that, Fang Li was still as stubborn as before.
At this moment, Fang Li saw his grandfather walking out of the Zhaixin Hall.
He immediately dashed over excitedly.
“Grandpa, Grandpa, is that Su Changyu in Zhaixin Hall?”
“Grandpa, you have to do justice for me.”
“Grandpa.”
Fang Li looked exceptionally excited, wishing he could take revenge immediately.
However, Fang Li had overlooked something.
The expression on the emperor’s face had become extremely cold and indifferent.
