Chapter 919: Chapter 913: I Come to Seek Justice

After all, he had favored Jin Fengzhao for thirty years.

Thirty years, even if she was not his biological child, he must have developed some feelings, right?

Zijin said indifferently, "I am here to seek justice for Gu Youyou."

The people inside the hall gasped.

How arrogant and bold, he was here not for his own identity but to seek justice for Gu Youyou?

If you are not a phoenix’s descendant, on what basis...

Right, he was Tianzong’s eldest senior brother, the hot candidate for the next State Preceptor. Given that the State Preceptor, despite being from the Dao Family, held a status no less than that of the emperor, it’s no wonder he dared.

The emperor composed himself and said, "What kind of justice does the real person wish to seek?"

Zijin replied calmly, "She was stripped and slapped in the Imperial Palace, and someone forcefully took a priceless jade pendant from her. Does the emperor intend to explain this?"

...Was he making the emperor’s princess out to be a robber?

The palace maidens and eunuchs standing there thought this was really too...

But then again, although civilians have no say in front of the imperial family, due to the special nature of Zhuzhao Country and the current situation of the Dao Family, Zijin now had the rights to reason with the emperor and seek justice.

The atmosphere in the hall turned heavy; the Empress Dowager was in tears.

She didn’t know much about the affairs of the previous Dao Family, but looking at Zijin’s demeanor, she felt as if she was seeing Jin Moning from many years ago.

Her former master had died, leaving a young child to struggle for survival.

She knew Zijin hated them. Xiao Qinqin had died tragically, and she heard that when the emperor found her, the grass over her grave was already very tall.

Not even a coffin, just wrapped in a straw mat, buried in a pit, and that tombstone was just a dilapidated piece of wood.

The emperor ignored what he had asked for and holding the jade pendant, he asked in a low voice, "Is your mother Xiao Qinqin? Having been in Tianzong for so many years, you must clearly know who Xiao Qinqin is. Then why didn’t you come to the Imperial Palace with this jade pendant earlier to find me?"

"What for?" Zijin suddenly sneered coldly, "Since birth, I have been in Qi Mountain. I was raised by my master from a young age. Why would I come to the Imperial Palace to find the emperor?"

"You are my eldest son; this world needs you."

"But I am also Tianzong’s eldest senior brother, and my master has high hopes for me. The position of the State Preceptor is no less significant than that of the emperor, and I really do not need to wade into these muddy waters."

"But I am still your father," the emperor said, becoming agitated.

The hall fell into a dead silence.

"Oh, is that so?" After a moment, Zijin said indifferently, his tone extremely contemptuous.

The Empress was emotionally disturbed; she didn’t care about their entanglements but was concerned whether this person would try to seize the throne.

"Your current status..." the emperor sighed, his face showing the signs of age, "Forget it, if you want justice, I will give you justice."

Zijin bowed and said, "Then I thank the emperor, I take my leave."

Everyone just watched as he came and then left.

The Empress Dowager, supported by a palace maiden, stood up, agitatedly said, "How could he just leave like that, is he really born of Qinqin? Moning, why did you let him go like that."

"We can’t rush this matter; as for whether he is born of Qinqin... seemingly so," the emperor sighed helplessly.

"Oh, how can we not be anxious, it has been thirty years. Moning, go to the Xiao Family and ask. If he really is a child born by Qinqin, we must have him acknowledge his ancestry. He is the legitimate eldest son, he..."
