C518 Paradoxical (1/2)

Gong Xiaohan stood at the side and wanted to say something, but the corners of his mouth moved slightly, he held it back.

Crown Prince Jin Nie was not timid in the slightest. He looked coldly at Gong Xiaoxuan for a moment, then flung his robe and walked in the direction of the imperial palace.

”Does Your Highness want to enter the palace with us?” Baili Jinxiu saw that Gong Xiaohan looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, and chuckled.

After Gong Xiaoxuan heard this, he turned around and shot a glance at Gong Xiaohan.

Gong Xiaohan only felt a cold energy pass by his back, and goosebumps rose up inch by inch. He hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he did not want to go.

After all, the Crown Prince Jin Nie had insisted that he had never been to the Crown Prince's Palace, and had only passed by, so there was no point in following him to the palace. What's more, it was his birthday today. The guests in the courtyard were still waiting for him.

Seeing Gong Xiaohan being so sensible, Gong Xiaoxuan laughed and pulled Baili Jinxiu towards the palace.

Behind him, Gong Xiaohan looked at the backs of the few disciples. With an indifferent expression, he turned around and returned to his residence.

Inside the palace, Crown Prince Jin Nie and Gong Xiaoxuan, together with Baili Jinxiu and the other two, were standing outside the Life Nourishment Hall. Fu Shun walked over with small steps, his old face filled with wrinkles, which had been squeezed into a distorted by the smiling face, and said earnestly: ”Your highness Prince An, Princess An, Crown Prince Jin Nie, and Emperor allows the three of you to enter the palace.”

Ever since Fu Shun ascended the throne, he had been waiting on the left and right of the Emperor.

Although the Prince An was not bestowed the title of crown prince, there were still many ministers that followed him. Furthermore, they all held great power, so they naturally had to curry favor with him since the throne could not be decided in a short period of time.

Since Prince Jin Nie was the future emperor of a neighboring country, he naturally had to receive him well. Thinking of this, the smile on Fu Shun's face became wider.

The anger still remained on Prince Jin Nie's face. He snorted and took the lead to walk into the palace.

Gong Xiaoxuan and Baili Jinxiu looked at each other and followed after, hand in hand.

”Greetings to Emperor.” Baili Jinxiu bent his knees and saluted the Emperor who was seated on a tall throne. Gong Xiaoxuan, who was beside him also saluted slightly.

However, Crown Prince Jin Nie merely saluted and then called out, ”Good morning, Emperor of the Grean Yan.”

The emperor leaned on the dragon throne and raised his eyelids. Baili Jinxiu could feel a dense disgust from the eyes that floated over, it was not the kind that hated him in the past, but one that was mixed with killing intent amidst this disgust.

He raised his head and looked up, but the king had already closed his eyes.

”Why have all of you come to my place?”

The Emperor's voice was slightly erratic, causing one to feel that they were unable to fathom it.

Gong Xiaoxuan could also feel the impatience in the gaze and the tone of the Emperor, and replied coldly: ”Today, this son went to attend His Highness's birthday banquet, but coincidentally saw a thief heading towards the backyard of Royal Younger Brother, searching the entire way, but who would have thought that I would find Prince Jin Nie outside the residence of Royal Younger Brother.”

Gong Xiaoxuan did not say that Prince Jin Nie was the thief in front of him, but the meaning behind his words was obvious.

Indeed, the emperor's face changed slightly, he opened his eyes slightly and looked at Prince Jin Nie.
