The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

Huo Yunjue rushed to the entrance of the palace, but was stopped by the imperial guards and was not allowed to enter.

"Your Royal Highness, you can't go any further. The palace door has been keyed, so we can't let you in."

"Where is the fire?" Huo Yunjue was very concerned about Concubine Wan's safety.

"Going back to the Fourth Palace, Your Highness, it's the East Palace."

"East Palace?" Huo Yunjue was a little surprised.

"When the demon star passed through the palace, a bolide fell on the east palace and caused a fire." The captain of the guard replied.

"I know. I'll stand by and wait until the fire is out before I leave."

"Fourth Highness, please feel free to do so." The guard chief saluted him and stood back to his position.

At this moment, the second prince arrived with a group of government soldiers. His move aroused the vigilance of the guards. They took up their weapons and formed a human wall to prevent him from advancing.

"Your Highness, please step back. You led the soldiers to break into the palace gate at night. What do you want?" asked a guard.

"How presumptuous! His Highness wanted to enter the palace to put out the fire because he was worried about His Majesty's safety. Why don't you get out of the way quickly!" a guard next to the second prince yelled angrily.

"There is already a fire brigade in the palace. Your Highness does not need to worry about it. The palace door has been keyed. Unless there is an urgent battle report that needs to be conveyed to His Majesty, we cannot let you in!" The guard refused to give in.

"You are so brave!" The guard on the stairs drew his sword angrily and confronted the guard.

"Stop!" A group of Jinwu Guards rushed up from a distance with weapons in hand and surrounded the second prince's men and horses.

The second prince raised his eyebrows and looked at the leader of the Jinwu Guards, General Qin Kuo, feeling very dissatisfied with his actions.

He just wanted to rush into the palace to help put out the fire out of concern for the safety of Emperor Yao and Concubine Yue.

"Your Highness, please be careful." Qin Kuo responded calmly, "We are ordered by His Majesty to protect the safety of the palace. No one can break in at will. Even Your Highness, we cannot let you in without His Majesty's instructions. "

"My Highness is really worried about the safety of my mother-in-law and Your Majesty. Why don't I go in alone?" The second prince got off his horse and took a few steps forward, trying to propose a compromise.

He knew that Jin Wuwei was on tight defense and his actions had caused unnecessary commotion. Now he could only try to calm the situation down, so he decided to give in.

However, Qin Kuo still shook his head: "Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for us. Our responsibilities are ours. We can only act according to the rules." Qin Kuo got off his horse and apologized to him with fists in his hands.

Then, he looked up and saw Huo Yunjue standing not far away, and nodded to him.

"Qin Kuo, there is a fire in the palace tonight. The situation is special. Your Majesty will not blame you. You let me in immediately. Only when I see with my own eyes that Your Majesty and Concubine Yue are safe can I rest assured."

The second prince's face was gloomy, and he suppressed his anger and took a few steps forward, trying to persuade Qin Kuo.

"Your Highness, please stop. If you move forward, don't blame me for giving the order to take you down!" Qin Kuo raised his right hand to give an order with a very firm attitude.The imperial guards behind him immediately raised their swords and pointed them at the second prince.

"Qin Kuo, you dare to be disrespectful to His Highness, you are so brave!" The second prince shouted angrily, with anger flashing in his eyes.

"The Second Highness insists on breaking into the palace, so I can only go about my routine and fulfill my duty to protect the palace. Even if this matter is reported to His Majesty, I will take care of it." Qin Kuo looked determined and refused to give in at all.

"You are arrogant!" The second prince was furious. He glared at Qin Kuo, pulled out a sword from the hands of the soldiers on the side, and pointed it at him.

The two sides faced each other, and the atmosphere was very tense. Upon seeing this, Huo Yunjue hurriedly stepped forward, held the second prince's sword between his fingers and moved it away. He persuaded with a smile: "Second brother, don't be impulsive. General Qin is doing this for your own good." Yun Jue stood between the two and acted as peacemaker.

"He knows that you are concerned about your father's safety, but you are also worried that you will break the rules when entering the palace and be punished by your father. Let's not put the general in a dilemma." Huo Yunjue laughed and patted the second prince on the shoulder. on, trying to ease his mood.

The second prince then relaxed a little, and Huo Yunjue immediately suggested: "Otherwise, you should order your palace soldiers to withdraw first, and I will wait here with you. We will leave after the fire in the palace is under control. This is also a sign of filial piety, sharing the worries and solving problems for the father."

Huo Yunjue's words had some effect. The second prince put down his sword and waved to his subordinates with a gloomy expression.

Immediately, the subordinates led the soldiers and left the scene wisely.

When Qin Kuo saw that the second prince's palace troops had withdrawn, he also ordered them to withdraw. He clasped his fists in gratitude and thanked them: "I would like to thank you two highnesses for your consideration!"

Huo Yunjue said with a smile, "General Qin, you're welcome. I'll treat you to a drink another day."

"It's okay to drink, but you don't dare to be an official!" Qin Kuo replied seriously and put away his sword.

He then signaled the Praetorian Guards to retreat.

"Qin Kuo got on his horse. The second prince looked at his arrogant attitude and felt very unhappy.

"Look at his attitude!" The second prince wanted to rush up to him to argue with him, but was held back by Huo Yunjue.

"Second brother, forget it, don't get angry with him. General Qin is such a very stubborn person, but His Majesty also thinks highly of him, so don't argue with him." Huo Yunjue advised.

"Hmph, old man. Don't let His Highness catch his mistakes, otherwise he will look good." The second prince said through gritted teeth.

"Okay, second brother, let's go over there. It's very windy here." Huo Yunjue pushed him and walked towards the leeward side of the palace gate.

After about half a cup of tea passed, a eunuch stood at the palace gate and bowed to them.

"Your Highnesses, the fire has been put out. Your Majesty is aware of your filial piety. Please come back!"

"Thank you, father-in-law, for coming here to tell us. I wonder if your majesty and the ladies of the palace are okay?" the second prince asked with concern.

"Everything is fine. It's just that several houses in His Royal Highness's East Palace were burned down. Fortunately, there were no casualties. His Majesty has ordered His Highness to temporarily move to Changyang Palace for a period of time." The eunuch replied respectfully.

"Thank you, father-in-law. We will come to the palace tomorrow to say hello." Huo Yunjue was relieved when he heard that Concubine Wan was fine.

"Your Highnesses, walk slowly." The eunuch watched them leave.

When the second prince, who was walking behind Huo Yunjue, heard that the prince's palace was burned down, there were dark waves in his eyes, and his heart was filled with confusion and confusion.

He wasn't sure what to do next.At this time, he felt that his mind was in chaos and it was difficult to concentrate.

In the Chonghua Hall of the imperial palace, Emperor Yao was wearing pajamas and sitting on the bed with a solemn face.Eunuch Wu put a thick coat on him and said with concern:

"Your Majesty, it's better to rest early. In a few hours we will have the morning court."

"Wu Ji'an, I feel very uneasy." Emperor Yao looked worried.

"Is Your Majesty worried about the fire tonight?" Eunuch Wu bowed and asked, his expression very calm.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the fire in Kyoto has been put out and no chaos has been caused. Everything has returned to normal." Eunuch Wu extinguished two palace lanterns and added.

"There is no problem with His Royal Highness. He has been transferred to Changyang Palace. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. You can lie down and rest quickly!"

Emperor Yao raised his head and took a deep look at Eunuch Wu, his expression very serious.

"I'm not referring to these, I'm talking about the Second Prince and Concubine Yue." Emperor Yao sighed quietly, feeling full of anxiety and uneasiness about what happened in the past two days.

Eunuch Wu's eyes flashed with slight doubts, and he didn't understand what Emperor Yao meant.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean...?" he asked tentatively.

"What do the Royal Garden and today's events seem to imply?" Emperor Yao pondered, his thoughts a little complicated. His deep eyes became deeper and deeper, as if he was looking for a definite answer.

Finally, he sighed, as if he had already made a decision in his heart: "I have often dreamed of the late Emperor recently. Maybe it's time for me to make a decision."

"Your Majesty has made his own decision, I dare not speak nonsense!" Eunuch Wu replied respectfully with his head lowered.

"After the morning court tomorrow, the old guys Xuan Taishi, Taifu and Cao Huan will come to see me." Emperor Yao took off his outer robe and lay back on the bed.

"The slave obeys the order!"

In the early morning of the morning, the courtiers reported on the fire situation in Kyoto last night, as well as other important government matters.

After Emperor Yao patiently handled and replied to several important matters, he announced that he would leave the court and go straight to the Imperial Study Room.

In the imperial study, Emperor Yao said bluntly in front of several ministers: "I want to refuse the marriage proposal from Qianye Kingdom."

"Your Majesty, this... I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Cao Huan objected, and several other ministers also showed worries.

"I have thought about it carefully. This is not to ask for your consent, but to formally inform you." Emperor Yao looked very determined.

"Since His Majesty has made a decision, we can't say anything more. It's just that Concubine Yue and the Second Prince don't know how to deal with it?" Elder Lin Ge asked cautiously.

"I have already dealt with Concubine Yue, and decided to temporarily keep the second prince away from the government so that he can cultivate his moral character in the palace." Yao Emperor Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke harshly.

Several ministers exchanged glances with each other and did not dare to speak.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and then Elder Lin lowered his head and said slowly.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing I want to report to you right now. The people from the Qianye Kingdom's mission have always wanted to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit and discuss the matter of peace between the two countries. What do you think, Your Majesty?" He respectfully asked Emperor Yao for instructions.

"I don't want to see them. You can find a way to refuse it yourself! Send someone to monitor the second prince's residence, and don't allow people from the mission to meet with him privately." Emperor Yao's tone became more serious, making his position clear.

Several ministers realized that Emperor Yao's attitude had been very clear, and their eyes turned to Grand Master Liang who had remained silent.

Grand Master Liang shook his head gently and signaled them not to speak again.So, a few people had to stand silently in the hall, silent.

After a long while, Emperor Yao saw that they had no response and spoke slowly again.

"I have one more thing."
