Song of Time – Dusk Awakening Verse

Chapter 62: .The Great Court (Part 2)

Shun stayed up all night, and as soon as he got off the airship, he rushed to the palace without delay, for fear that something unexpected would happen to him.

He was still wearing the southern country dress with black and gold shading. Because his back was facing the rising sun, his complexion was dull and unclear, but the trembling cold light in those black eyes still swept across like electricity, like a searchlight. The attendees in the hall in amazement did not see the slightest fatigue.

Mi You was not present, which made him feel a little relieved in addition to his worries. No matter what, at least he doesn't need to let his sister hear these slanderous and insulting rumors in the court. He thought of the rumors he had inquired about on the Federer that his sister was "captured on the spot" by the Jade King, and his heart sank. He didn't know how his sister was doing at the moment, but he was sure that since King Jade had caught this handle, he would never let it go. I was afraid that today's situation would not be able to improve.

He had the peace of mind in mind, and after looking around the two distinct factions in the hall, he had a preliminary judgment on the situation. The contrast between the numbers of the two parties was huge, but he didn't care. He stopped his eyes for a moment on his father, who was sitting on the high platform and closed his eyes. He suppressed his anger, waved his sleeves coldly, and pretended to hold his hands as if nothing had happened. Asked: "Why, rushing back to the capital alone all the way, no one came up to see you as a gift?"

The royal courtiers who were present were taken aback by his sudden sarcasm, but they responded differently when they recovered. The red-faced household deputy Ge Fanbin was the most excited, as if he had found the backbone. He adjusted Li Paixiu and wanted to step forward to greet him, but he was still a step ahead of the left of the criminal department on the right.

When this highly self-respecting prospective minister saw the prince’s fancy and weird southern country dress, after the initial blink of an eye, he was so angry that the horoscope-shaped mustache trembled into a wave, and walked forward a few times. Step by step shouted: "His Royal Highness, the dignified empire, how can you wear this look on the court!? It's simply out of style! It's too shameful!"

In the face of this reprimand, Shun didn't even look at him straight, and said calmly, "I'm going to investigate the case and pursue the culprit. Doesn't it mean that I have to wear court clothes to bluff around?"

"Regardless of the reason, the imperial meeting is the place where the traditions of our country are revealed. His Royal Highness is the prince, but he goes up to imperial court in a different clothes. How can he still have the slightest prestige! What is the law of the imperial court that lasts for thousands of years?"

Tradition? Hmph... Shun finally glanced at him, then scanned the crowd again, remembering the various slanderous words that I had just heard outside the temple, and his anger surged, and he sneered: "I really want to change. One set, it’s a pity that if you don’t rush again, I’m afraid that some people with unpredictable hearts will make trouble and be innocent..."

After saying this, the right/wing was in an uproar, and left the righteous step with an upright head and shouted: "I am loyal to the country, and everything I say is from the bottom of my heart. How can your Highness accuse me!"

"What a loyal and loyal country... Lord Zuo, I would like to advise you not to be the first bird. You are still willing to be used by others."

"You!" Zuo Step was irritated by his words, and almost choked. He suddenly walked up to the person behind him, pulled him back, and stuffed him back into the crowd.

The visitor was dressed in a bright yellow court dress and a golden crown. It was the elder Gu Wei, the head of the household. As the highest-ranking courtier in the Jade King family, he was also doing his part when he went to the rescue. Although Elder Ge couldn't understand the prince's dress, he knew that investigating the mistakes and omissions would not affect the overall situation. Instead, he asked his whereabouts: "The old minister is unclear. I want to ask your Highness to clarify... This is where the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is responsible. I don't know why your Royal Highness is going to act on his behalf this time?"

"It happened suddenly, and Gu was on the scene at that time. As one of the parties involved, I took the opportunity to investigate it. It is understandable for anyone who wants to come."

"That being said, it is incomprehensible that His Royal Highness left Beijing without telling her whereabouts with a golden body... Even if the situation is urgent, you should send a letter back to Beijing to explain one or two. Putting your Majesty again, where is the court, isn't it treating the national law and family law like a child's play?"

Don't tell whereabouts? Didn’t you ask Mr. Ku Rong to come back to report the letter? Did something happen to him? Shun's heart suddenly burst, as if a certain joint that made him shudder instantly passed by, but he did not grasp it, and missed the opportunity to discover the truth.

He swept his gaze over the people in the hall again, and was silent for a few seconds, but decided to press down on this point of doubt first, and he changed the subject: "This matter is a long story, and it is difficult to describe the details for a while... And Hui just heard that Miyou reappeared in the capital, I don't know where she is at the moment?"

When everyone heard this question, they all turned to the Jade King. The prince was not in a hurry. He squinted his eyes and said proudly, "Being a guest at my mansion... Why, do you want to come again? The drama eight years ago?"

"...What does the prince mean?"

Yu Wang Pi laughed and snorted coldly: "You know it in your heart! Do you dare to say that you really don't know where Miyou has gone?"

"In the past eight years, if Miyou has disappeared from the world, how can Gu know where she is going? The Lord's question is too absurd."

"Do you still dare to say that you don't know?" Yuming stayed behind her grandfather all the time, silently, and suddenly became angry when he heard him deny it. He was standing closest to the prince. At this moment, he couldn't help but stepped forward for two or three steps, staring straight into his eyes, and shouting loudly: "If you didn't know that she was... there, why three? Go there at both ends of the sky!? Don’t tell me you used to read books!"

Yuming was really angry at the moment. After Mi You disappeared eight years ago, he overheard Mo and his father's conversation, and learned that the matter was related to Shun, and immediately ran to question where Shun had sent Mi You. . At that time, when he was young, he didn't know Mi You's situation, let alone Shun's intentions. He only thought that the other party was the culprit who made Mi You disappear. But in the face of his questioning, Shun just kept silent, and Yu Ming broke off friendship with him in a rage, and the rapport was no longer the same. But now he finally found his sister, only to realize that the other party didn't recognize him. When he thought of Shun as the culprit when he was sad, he was naturally very annoyed and regarded him completely as an enemy.

Shun fell into a brief silence as he looked at the brother who was angry and grieved in front of him. He knew why the other party was so angry. He had been deceived for eight years for no reason. If he wanted to be himself, he would have to find someone to do it before the meeting. In the matter of Miyou, he did owe something, and it was an indisputable fact that caused the brothers to turn against each other. Although he had troubles, he couldn't say it clearly. He could only pretend not to know, and then asked: "Lonely has many political affairs, go to the bookstore. What's wrong with looking up some historical records?"

"You need large bags and small bags to bring so many food boxes to search for information? His Royal Highness, why do you want to go to the bookstore to eat every day?"

"...What's wrong with going to the bookstore for a meal? You and I haven't met in the bookstore. Have you ever seen something suspicious!"

"You..." Yu Ming was at a loss. He did follow Shun into the study room, and more than once, but there was no gain. He didn't know that Mi You and Ah Huang were in another place in the study room, and Because of the exhortations left by the high priest, every time he went out after the guest left, he never met him.

Seeing that he was speechless, Shun stepped closer and warned with a voice that only two of them could hear: "Are you really going to face me like this at this time?"

Yuming was awakened by his words and was startled in a cold sweat. He was in anger just now and couldn't help being upset. Now he remembered that this court meeting was about to agree on the way to deal with Miyou. If he continued to say more, it would not be guaranteed that he would not cause more trouble. For the sake of his sister's safety, he could only hold his breath and shut his mouth, slowly backing up to the front, but still turned his back, not wanting to see the obnoxious guy.

The Jade King watched his son's horrible behavior and couldn't help frowning. Although he hadn't heard what Qing Shun had said, how could he let go of the opportunity at this time? Then he squinted at the throne again. Seeing that the emperor was still a dead man with his eyes closed, he gave a cold snort and threatened in a serious manner: "Muyou has already confessed to my house about the bookstore. Do you still think Is the denial failed? Could she still be asked to confront her in court?"

As soon as he said this, the court was silent for a moment, and everyone turned their eyes to the prince, waiting for his reaction. When Shun saw his words, he seemed to have a chance to win, and his heart suddenly tightened. Although the Jade King is usually reckless, but since he dared to say the word confrontation in the court, he must be sure. I don't know what means he used... However, if the evidence in his hand is conclusive, why didn't he bring Miyou to the temple at the beginning, instead of bringing it up now?

He fell into thinking, and there would be no reply for a while. The family members of the Right/Pan group only regarded him as guilty and did not dare to speak. They thought they had grasped the handle, and immediately shouted loudly.

"I knew there was a problem! You father and son are really good at acting, one is obviously wanted, the other goes to hide people in secret, huh! The benefits inside and out are all for you!"

"The emperor must give us a clear explanation! How can we convince the crowd so shielding the enchantress!"

"Enough!" Shun couldn't listen anymore. He brought up the magical technique and shook the whole house to an abrupt end. "Who dares to say that she is a witch! There is no basis to slander the royal family, you know this is What a crime!"

"How unfounded! The whole city knows what kind of disaster she caused, and even the emperor personally acknowledged it. Otherwise, why would there be a wanted order?"

Wanted warrant... Damn wanted warrant! The prince gritted his teeth in a rage and forced himself to endure, suppressing the faint twitching corners of his eyes, and looking up at the throne, the emperor also opened his eyes and looked at him. The two pairs of flashing eyes with the same cold light intertwined. Thinking is totally different.

Shun has never forgotten the turmoil when he was young. The countless ugly faces, the nonsense rumors that spread throughout the capital, and the desperate and helpless look on his sister's face are still vivid in my eyes. But what made him most sad was the wanted document issued by his father in spite of his strong opposition. It can be said that the thin edict was the biggest gap in the close relationship between him and his father. It is difficult to recover.

He listened to the accusations of "witches", "damage to the country" and "disasters" in the hall, and he was in a trance as if he had returned to the scene eight years ago, which made him extremely hate but regretted the time point of his life. He only felt that his brain was swelling, as if a violent wind was sweeping from his lungs to his head, sweeping away the only remaining reason he relied on.

It's just that the more angry he gets, the more calm he appears on his face. He coldly looks at those nominal relatives who are spitting and spitting. He never rebuts, but suddenly waved out without warning. A magic light. An ancient giant beast with a python head and a lion body flashed in the hall. The red light flashed and swooped towards the crowd on the right. The **** mouth was so big and without friends, it seemed that he could smell the stench.

The mortals on the right were taken aback by the sudden appearance of the strange beasts, and all the yells they had blurted out were choked back, while the monks all subconsciously condensed the brilliance of divine power, and their hands moved forward to hold their breath. Only the Jade King remained unmoved, standing still at the forefront with his head upright, watching coldly. Seeing that the behemoth was about to hit the crowd, but it dissipated in an instant, as if it had never appeared before, leaving only a few royal family members who were so scared to the ground, which attracted a burst of noise from the left. fling in teeth.

A group of trash...The prince only hates the so-called royal relatives of this group of corpse-position vegetarian meals. He just took back the illusion, but heard the emperor's hasty reprimand: "Presumptuous! How can you hurt people at random in the court!? Uncles apologize?"

apologize? Why apologize? Compared with these family members who only know how to make things difficult, what did you do wrong? He grinned with anger, and squinted his eyes to look at the high platform. His father got up and walked to the edge of the guardrail. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were no longer the old well. He was full of blame. He was obviously very unhappy with what he had done earlier. .

But he didn't seem to hear it, so he clicked on the right/wing crowd, and slowly asked the emperor every word: "They always want a statement. I don't know how the father is going to tell them?"

The emperor had no intention of holding this meeting. He was silent and did not answer. What he did not expect was that his son would suddenly come back in trouble. At this moment, he only heard that Shun continued to say to the rightists and people in a cold voice: "Eight years ago, Gu was here too, listening to you guys unscrupulously discrediting Gu's sister... At that time, Gu couldn't do anything, but today! Gu will never compromise! Who wants to move? You, you have to pass the solitary level first!"

The situation on the court suddenly became a bit violent, and it seemed that there was a smell of gunpowder. The old Mo Ge, who had been like a clay sculpture with his eyes closed, finally couldn't stand it. He took a step forward and spoke kindly to the prince: "His Royal Highness does not need to be angry. , Your Majesty just wants to discuss with you a proper solution, not to convict and punish His Highness Miyou..."

It’s good for him not to persuade him. When it comes to conviction, Shun is furious: "Why did Miyou commit a crime? Back then, or now, which one of those disasters can be determined to be conclusively related to her? Every one of you except **** mouth. , What good things can I say! Gu will never give in easily this time!"

Everyone from the right/sect was angry again when they heard this. The left adult stood up one by one, yin and yang ridiculed: "We can't produce conclusive evidence. What evidence do you have to prove that she is innocent? Humph! Not to mention, your father and son conspired to rebel against honesty. I extremely suspect that there were ghosts in the apocalypse ceremony! The other princes present at the time were all in a coma. Why were you the only one standing awake? You must have arranged in advance! The purpose is not to let others. The prince successfully attended the ceremony!"

This statement seems to be reasonable and well-founded, and has received strong support from many emperor relatives, who are clamoring to uncover the truth, clear the shady, and make the apocalypse ceremony a sacred solemnity.

The Jade King raised his eyes and secretly looked at the thunderous Master Zuo, nodded approvingly, very proud of him. The purpose of his meeting this time was not to convict Miyou, but to make the emperor lose his prestige through Miyou, until he denied the fairness of the apocalypse ceremony and stripped Shun’s heir status. Who can compete with his son for the throne? He turned to look at the prince in front of the door, who was silent amidst the many accusations, and then glanced at the emperor whose eyes were about to be narrowed, and he believed in his heart that this game of chess was won by himself!

Shun, who is in a difficult situation, feels very complicated at this moment, because the Apocalypse of the year did appear to him injustice. He clearly saw that Miyou was carrying the power of God, but in the end he was forced to escape from the palace, on the contrary. He became the rightful heir. This made him feel a deep guilt in addition to his anger-he felt that the identity of the heir was wrong, this was not the true result of the Apocalypse, he had snatched it from his sister...

But the pain in his heart cannot be clearly stated, because no one knows the horror scenes that happened during the ceremony-except for his father. He turned his eyes to the emperor as if for help, only to see the still ruthless and indifferent face under the other's high crown, and the corners of his mouth could not even tremble, as if all these accusations related to the royal family’s credit were all trivial. It was not enough to impress him.

He looked at his father who was still looking up on the high platform in front of him. The other party's attitude of disregarding blood and affection made him cold from the top of his head to the bottom of his heart. He swept across the different colors of the royal family and ministers on the temple again, turned his mind, gritted his teeth and sneered: "You want to know the truth? I teach you what the truth is! Don't regret it! "

After this madman, he flicked his cloak, and bursts of invisible fluctuations quickly emerged from behind him, and the purple brilliance instantly entrenched most of the hall of discussion like a colorful dream, leading to a strange and terrifying scene.
