After rejecting the 'invitation' from the four major officials, Bai Yunfei received the second invitation two days later.
But this time, it was not sent by those four families, nor by the Cheng family. The person who invited him was definitely someone he had never thought about.
This invitation comes from... the royal family! !
It was personally sent by the Fourth Prince Wu Yang. It was an 'invitation' from the royal family, or it could also be said that it was an 'imperial edict'! !
The monarch of the Tianhun Empire, His Majesty Wu Hong has summoned us!
When Wu Yang sent this news, Bai Yunfei was really shocked. He even confirmed it several times before he truly believed that Wu Yang was not joking with him.
—The supreme ruler of the entire empire wants to summon him!
After Bai Yunfei was shocked by this, he had a strange feeling again - could this be related to the incident in the trial forest a few days ago? This incident actually alarmed His Majesty the Emperor? !
Bai Yunfei was confused, but he couldn't find out what was going on from Wu Yang. Wu Yang also received the order from his father and came to 'deliver the message'. The specific purpose was not stated clearly by his father. .
But this time, Bai Yunfei naturally didn't dare to "ignore" it. He would go to His Majesty's summons no matter what.
And compared with the invitations from the four officials, there is no need to worry about entering the palace to see His Majesty as a 'trap' - the royal family can set up a trap and ambush on the pretext of invitation. Bai Yunfei thinks that he is not qualified for this, and he I also believe that it is impossible for such a thing to happen.
Maybe... it's just an ordinary summons
…
With various speculations in mind, Bai Yunfei prepared everything early the next morning, and then took Xiao Qi and Wu Yang, who came to pick him up, to the center of the capital - where the palace is.
There is no need to describe the grandeur of the palace in detail. Bai Yunfei followed Wu Yang for a long time in the huge palace, which was like a city within a city, and arrived at the northeast corner of the palace.
"Teacher Bai, the front is the Qianhe Hall. Let's go in first. Someone must have gone to report to the emperor. Maybe he will come over later." Wu Yang pointed to the splendid palace in front and said to Bai Yunfei.
Bai Yunfei looked up and saw a magnificent palace thousands of meters away. He nodded and said, "Well, let's go in and wait."
"Hehe, Teacher Bai, you are really here!!"
At this moment, a surprised voice came from far to the right. Bai Yunfei paused in his steps and turned around to see a little girl in colorful clothes who looked like a fluttering butterfly holding up the hem of her skirt and heading this way. Come running.
Who is the little princess if not Wu Ping
Bai Yunfei smiled and said, "Princess Ping'er, why are you here?"
Wu Ping ran up to Bai Yunfei, raised her head and said, "This is my 'home'! Of course I'm here... Hee hee, Xiao Qi is here too!"
After saying hello to Bai Yunfei, she focused on Xiao Qi on Bai Yunfei's shoulder. Xiao Qi flapped her wings and said, "Hello, Princess Ping'er."
Wu Yang looked at Wu Ping and said helplessly: "Sister, didn't I tell you not to come over? My father will be coming over soon. If he knows that you sneaked out again instead of studying in your Pingcai Palace, you But I have to be punished again.”
"Oops! That old lady with white hair is always talking about the history of the development of the empire, and she wants me to memorize the names of so many people. It's so boring!" Wu Ping wrinkled her little nose and complained, "It's not fun at all. I Don’t learn those boring things!”
However, she was obviously a little afraid of what Wu Yang said about 'Father's scolding'. She glanced around quietly, and then said: "I just came over to take a look! Since Father is coming soon, then I won't be here." Yes, but..."
She looked up at Xiao Qi and said, "Xiao Qi, would you like to play with me? I'll take you to the Royal Garden to play! By the way! There's also rhubarb there! I'll take you to see rhubarb, Let’s go play with Dahuang together.”
"Rhubarb?" Xiao Qi was stunned, and then rolled his eyes. He had always been curious about the 'rhubarb' that Princess Wu Ping had mentioned many times, and he was also very interested in the palace. , so I was a little tempted by Princess Wu Ping’s proposal.
Bai Yunfei smiled and said: "Haha, that's okay. Then Xiao Qi, you can go play with Princess Ping'er."
He was going to meet the king of a country later, and even Bai Yunfei felt a little nervous. Yesterday, he specially told Xiao Qi a lot not to offend His Majesty by talking nonsense. At that time, Xiao Qi was very impatient and even planned not to accompany Bai Yunfei. He came over, and now that Princess Wu Ping is willing to 'entertain' him, she might as well let him go and play.
"Okay, I'm going to play. If anything happens to Yunfei, please let me know and I'll rush over immediately."
Xiao Qi nodded, then flew off Bai Yunfei's shoulder, flew to Wu Ping's side, and said, "Princess Ping'er, let's go."
…
In the spacious and bright hall of Qianhe Hall, there are two rows of palace maids standing on both sides, and guards with serious expressions standing at the door. Bai Yunfei and Wu Yang are sitting on the chairs on the left, drinking tea while waiting for His Majesty Wu Hong. 's arrival
"By the way, Wu Yang, do you really not know why His Majesty is looking for me? Could it be about the trial forest a few days ago?"
Thinking that he would have to pay homage to the monarch of the entire empire soon, Bai Yunfei felt a little unsure, or a little nervous. He had never been able to guess the purpose of His Majesty Wu Hong summoning him. At this time, he wanted to ask Wu Hong again. Does Yang know something about the situation
Wu Yang curled his lips, shook his head and said: "I really don't know about this, but you don't have to worry too much, Teacher Bai. Anyway, it's just that my father came to you to ask for guilt. Cheng Xin, those trash, I Father doesn’t know him at all.”
"But..." Wu Yang paused and continued, "Two days ago, the old man, Prime Minister You, came into the palace and met my father. I don't know if it was because of the fact that his son was deposed by you. After that, my father said he wanted to If I want to meet you, it may really be related to the Cheng family, but even so, I think it's probably because I want to 'mediate' it?? Anyway, I don't think it's possible for my father to help them deal with you, Teacher Bai. Yes, you are the instructor of the weapon refining class 'invited' by our royal family and the academy, and my father will not do anything to you."
Right Prime Minister? That is Cheng Xin's father. Will he come to His Majesty Wu Hong because of his son? Could it be that he still wants to ask your Majesty to seek justice
Bai Yunfei was a little surprised. Ever since he taught Cheng Xin a lesson for the first time, he had never waited for the Cheng family to make a move. This was something he had always found strange. After all, he was the prime minister of the dynasty, and his son was taught like this by him. Well, it would be a bit impossible if he had to swallow his anger just because of his 'special status'.
While chatting with Wu Yang, Bai Yunfei felt someone approaching outside the hall and couldn't help but turn his head to look. This person did not suppress his aura, and a vast and profound aura of powerful soul power naturally emitted. Bai Yunfei only sensed it slightly, and felt that it was as unfathomable as the vast starry sky, and it was not just a 'powerful' feeling, this aura was The breath seems to have a special kind of 'coercion', which makes people involuntarily have the idea of 'worship' or 'surrender'.
- Just a little natural aura, this is the first time Bai Yunfei has met such a special person.
Just when he was surprised, he saw all the guards at the door bowing their heads with unusual respect, and then, a tall figure strode in.
This is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a golden brocade robe, with long hair tied behind his head, a resolute face, eyebrows like swords, eyes like stars, and a slight smile at the corner of his mouth that makes him tough. His face became a little softer, not angry and intimidating, and people couldn't help but feel awe.
Feeling the pressure that this man naturally exudes, the word 'imperial aura' appears in Bai Yunfei's mind - it turns out that this kind of thing really exists.
This person’s identity seems to be revealed...
