"Dong!"

The sound of drums like thunder resounded throughout the square, hitting hard on everyone present, and everyone's heart was shocked.

Shusheng Zhang raised the drumstick and shouted: "The people are wronged!"

Immediately afterwards, those who lost their children behind him also shouted in unison: "The grass-civilian (the civilian woman) is wronged!"

The neat shouts were like thunder, which shocked the air around them.

"Dong!"

Zhang Shusheng beat the drum again and continued: "The Caomin wants to sue His Highness the Great Princess. In order to survive, she ordered people to abduct innocent children and refine their elixirs with blood from her heart!"

"Dong!Dong!Dong!"

Shusheng Zhang repeatedly beat the Dengwen drum, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances and unwillingness in his heart.

Today he insisted on seeking justice for his daughter and other children!

See if these nobles can ignore the law and cover the sky with their own hands!

The rumbling drum beats were thundering, like thunder, and endlessly. Every time Shusheng beats the drum, he would shout for himself and his daughter.

The crowds around were boiling like a pot of boiling water, and more and more people rushed over when they heard the sound of drums. The square and even the three streets outside the palace gate were becoming more and more crowded and noisy.

At first glance, there were crowds of people around.

"Get good..."

At this time, a rumbling sound of horse hooves came from the end of Zhuque Street, and the rapid sound of horse hooves gradually approached.

I saw a team of twenty or thirty people riding horses towards this side.

Mr. Li saw the visitor from afar and widened his eyes in surprise.

He immediately mobilized his imperial soldiers, and the soldiers took action well, drove away the gathering people in ten steps, and set off a road for the visitors as fast as possible.

The leader was a flawless young man in white.

He covered his frost-white cloak, which was so elegant and noble, just like a banished immortal in the sky who walked down from the mortal world.

Behind him was a group of majestic Luanyi Guards following him. The group rode their horses, passing through Zhengyang Gate and Daming Gate, and heading towards Chengtian Gate, with dust.

The imperial soldiers on both sides bowed and greeted the eldest prince.

Chu Yi heard the endless sound of drums from afar, heard the angry shouts of Zhang Shusheng, and saw the people gathered in the square, with their handsome faces not showing their emotions, but their eyes were as dark as ink.

He received news that Anle was seriously ill last night, so he rushed back from the imperial tomb overnight, and he only arrived in the capital now.

He had been away for only a day, but he didn't expect that the capital was like a world-changing...

"Wow—"

Chu Yi tightened the reins and stopped the horse in front of the Ming Gate. He looked in the direction where Deng He heard the drum sound, and saw a girl in snow-white clothes standing beside Zhang Shusheng.

The slender and delicate girl stood leisurely with her back to him, and from Chu Yi's perspective, she could not see her face at all.

However, in just one glance, Chu Yi recognized her, his lips raised, and his eyes were shimmering.

It's her.

The existence of a girl is to clear away the haze, which made Chu Yi suddenly realize, and it was like a dark-toned landscape painting with a bright color, making him feel that his lifeless life has variables worth looking forward to.

Chu Yi's heart was calmed down after a long time of rest, and his eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent softly.

Even Gu Yuan, who was behind Chu Yi, also saw his sister and raised his sword eyebrows in confusion.

Why is my sister here?!

The dark horse under Gu Yuan's crotch was squirting white air quickly.

Many people in the square also noticed Chu Yi's arrival, and looked at the picturesque young man in white, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Chu Yi just stayed for two breaths and made a gesture to Gu Yuan silently.

Gu Yuan clasped his fists to take the order, and Chu Yi clamped his horse's belly and continued to rode his horse towards the direction of the palace.

"Dong!Dong!Dong!"

The thick and deafening sound of the drums came one after another, one louder than another, resounding throughout the palace.

Chu Yi rode his horse all the way to Jingren Palace in the inner court. He walked forward, and the palace ladies along the way saluted him: "Your Highness, the Great Prince."

Another eunuch quickly guided him, leading him to Anle's bedroom.

There was a sad, depressing and painful atmosphere in the palace, and every palace servant was frowning.

Anle was still lying on the couch, her eyes closed, and she didn't know the situation.

The emperor had just been with Anle since last night. After only one night, he looked much haggard, with a dark blue shadow in his eye sockets.

He was still wearing the dragon robe from yesterday, and the robe was covered with wrinkles.

"Father."

Chu Yi quickly walked to the emperor and saw the eunuch Zhao Rang, who was slightly cramped, and the pale face and unconsciousness on the couch.

The emperor raised his hand and rubbed his temples with a slightly frown. He looked at Chu Yi and said in a deep voice: "On the first day of the lunar month, there were some riots in the capital early this morning. The people were indignant and gathered at the right gate of Chang'an..."

Chu Yi instantly understood the point of the emperor's words.

His father was afraid that it was not until the drum was beaten by Dengwen that many people gathered in the right gate of Chang'an to learn about the riot in the capital today.

Chu Yi's heart sank slightly.

The internal officials and the generals are in charge of the internal and external language movements. It should have been the emperor's eyes and ears to ensure that the inside and outside are in line with each other.

But the Inner Officials and Supervisors are now not under the control of their father, and they deceive their superiors and subordinates, so that their father is obscured in the palace and acts very passively.

Chu Yi made a quick decision to instruct Zhao Rang, "Zhao Rang, go and prepare the dragon chariot."

"Father, let's go to Chengtian Gate."

The emperor has never objected to his son's decision.

So Chu Yi went to the bedroom and carried Anle out of the coma and sat on the dragon chariot with the emperor.

After just a cup of tea, the emperor's ceremonial war reached Chengtian Gate in a mighty way.

"The Emperor is here!"

When the sharp voice of the eunuch reached the right gate of Chang'an, all kinds of noises around him suddenly stopped.

Both the yamen runners and the people were shocked and could not believe their ears.

The drumstick in Zhang Shusheng's hand also stopped in the air. When his hand slid, the drumstick fell off his hand and fell to the ground with a "bang".

No one expected that the emperor who could only see in operas would leave the palace in person.

I don’t know who was the first to kneel down, but the others fell to the ground, their bodies shorter.

Everyone kneeling on the ground couldn't help looking up, and their fiery eyes shot towards the city tower above Chengtian Gate.

At this moment, most of the people have forgotten the righteous indignation when they heard the drums being beaten, and their hearts are more awe of the emperor.

The emperor sat on a large golden-painted chair on the city tower with a serious expression and was arrogant without anger.

On the way to Chengtianmen just now, he had heard Gu Yuan report the whole story, including the missing child in the capital, the incident of a girl saying that she escaped from the palace, and the girl's father came to beat Dengwengu but was stopped by the yamen...

The emperor's eyebrows rose deeply, forming the word "chuan".

Because the eldest princess has not had much time left, the emperor has been with her since yesterday and has never left Jingren Palace.

He never expected that something like that happened in just one day.

His only daughter, his eldest princess, is a blessed child.

How could he let such evil magic from Shangqing destroy the blessings of his precious daughter?

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The emperor ascended the throne less than a year and was almost deposed when he was the crown prince. The late emperor was strictly guarding his guard and there were not many opportunities for him to cultivate his roots.

The late emperor favored his youngest son and indulged the aristocratic family, and the power of the court was divided up by the aristocratic families. Emperor Taizu did not kill the donkey back then, and the late emperor did not have the ability to get back military power. Therefore, most of the military power was in the hands of nobles, such as Duke of Wei and Duke of England.

(The Emperor is the beginning of hell...)

In fact, with the mentality of the late emperor, he was thinking: If you don’t let me change the crown prince, then I will let my younger son snatch the throne by himself. Therefore, during his reign, he continued to help the aristocratic family and the younger son.
