Chapter 1178: Chapter 1177: What Exactly Is Their Relationship?

The Southern Ridge Clan has rebelled, Chu Lingyang had just heard the news when he arrived.

He took a step forward and bowed deeply: "Regarding this matter, your servant cannot shirk the responsibility..."

"This matter, indeed, falls to Loyal Brother; however..."

The Emperor cast his eyes down, his long fingers again traced the rim of his cup: "Recently, there has been some unrest within the Imperial Palace, and tonight, there was even a thief who dared to poison me."

Poison!

It seems that the incident is indeed true!

Everyone’s hearts trembled at once.

"Who is the audacious culprit who dared such a thing?" Chu Lingyang urgently asked, "Have they been caught?"

Thankfully, the Emperor looked unharmed at the moment, meaning that although the attempt to poison him did occur, the culprit did not succeed.

People had varying thoughts.

"Not yet." The Emperor let out a soft sigh, and looking at King Ling said: "For someone to attempt poisoning within my Imperial Palace, this indicates that my palace is unsafe!"

"The audacity of these treacherous subjects and rebels!" Chu Lingyang clenched his fists in anger: "Should I catch them, I shall not let them off easily!"

Daring to be so brazen beneath the feet of the Emperor! These people, they must have the gall of a bear and the courage of a leopard!

Even daring to target the Emperor!

"So Loyal Brother means to take responsibility for the safety of both the Imperial Palace and the Imperial City?" The Emperor inquired with a raised brow.

"Your Majesty’s safety, I shall bear the burden alone! I shall not allow Your Majesty to encounter any danger, otherwise..."

"Loyal Brother, there’s no need to make such a hasty oath, your loyalty is something I am well aware of, but..."

He handed the cup back to Little Shunzi, and looking at everyone said: "It’s hard to guard against hidden arrows, in the future, caution must be doubled."

"However, with Loyal Brother willing to take charge of the security of the Imperial City, I am relieved."

"This servant shall fulfill the duty even at the risk of my own life!"

Chu Lingyang bowed his head in acknowledgment.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking, it seemed that he remembered something.

Was there something he had forgotten?

"Your Majesty, then... the rebellion of the Southern Ridge Clan..."

Right! Wasn’t he to lead troops to quell the Southern Ridge Clan?

But now, with an important task at hand, he simply could not leave!

What could be more important than the safety of the Emperor?

"This..." Chu Lingyang couldn’t help but turn his head to look at King Yu.

The Southern Ridge Clan was one of the most powerful among the nomadic tribes.

Quelling the Southern Ridge Clan held significant meaning.

If the Southern Ridge Clan were to capture Xuri City, other tribes that had pledged allegiance would surely become restless.

By then, their Nanming would be in grave danger.

Therefore, the Southern Ridge Clan must be subdued, an exceptional figure was essential for this task!

But, the leg of his eldest brother...

"It is said that in recent years, the Princely Heir Hao has been excelling even more, skilled in both literary and martial abilities?"

At this moment, the Emperor looked at King Yu with a smile on his face.

King Yu had a suffocating feeling in his chest but still dared not show any disrespect: "I thank Your Majesty for your excessive praise, but it’s merely..."

"The Princely Heir Hao is of the age to achieve great things."

Before he could finish, the Emperor cut in: "This time, let the Princely Heir Hao represent our Imperial Family to lead the troops and subdue the Southern Ridge Clan!"

...

Chu Qianli was not taken to bathe.

At the bath, the Palace Maids merely dressed her and left.

The next person she saw was unexpectedly Leng Ji.

"Miss, please come with me immediately," Leng Ji urged.

These people came prepared!

They had been in this palace for a long time!

What exactly is the relationship between Yexuan and the Emperor?

Why are Yexuan’s people allowed to come and go freely in the Emperor’s chamber?

Chu Qianli clenched her fists and angrily said: "Where do you intend to take me now?"
