Chapter 73 Cloud Emperor
When he returned to the inn, it was already late at night and Ji Chen fell asleep quickly.
at the same time.
In the palace.
In an ancient palace, a middle-aged man was still reviewing memorials on the table.
He was wearing an imperial robe with a lifelike pattern of a real dragon printed on it. It was none other than the contemporary Emperor Yun, Yun Chang'an!
"Shh!"
At a certain moment, when Emperor Yun was immersed in reviewing memorials, a black shadow suddenly flashed and appeared in front of him.
This is a man in a black robe, with his face covered so his true appearance cannot be seen.
The man in black robe bowed slightly to Emperor Yun but said nothing.
Emperor Yun sensed the other party's arrival, but did not look up. Instead, he continued to review the memorials and asked, "Ji Chen, are you really coming to the Imperial City?"
"Your Majesty, they are indeed here." The man in black robe nodded in response.
Hearing this, the pen in Emperor Yun's hand paused slightly, and then stopped.
He sat up straight, looked out the window, and remained silent.
After a long time, Emperor Yun suddenly said, "In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed. He is now eighteen years old, right?"
"You will be eighteen this year." The black-robed man responded, seeming to understand and grasp many things about Ji Chen.
"After all, the blood flowing in his body is that of my royal family, and he is also the son that my royal sister loves the most. Back then..."
When talking about these past events, Yun Huang's eyes seemed to reveal a kind of sadness and sorrow that was rarely seen under normal circumstances.
The imperial sister he mentioned was none other than the former queen of Yun Kingdom, Yun Xi, Ji Chen's biological mother!
"Sword Intentions...Nine Spiritual Veins...What a dazzling talent..."
"If the royal sister knew, she would definitely be very happy."
"Back then, I should have gone to pick her up in person. If so, how could my sister have been ambushed outside Yuntian City?" When he said this, a look of regret that he had never had before emerged in the eyes of the Emperor Yun.
The black-robed man was silent for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Your Majesty has been secretly sending people to protect Ji Chen all these years. When the *** got into trouble, why didn't Your Majesty directly bring Ji Chen to the imperial capital?"
Emperor Yun said nothing, but frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "I do want to, but this matter involves the 'Holy Dynasty', and I don't want Ji Chen to be implicated. Perhaps, staying in the Ji family for the rest of his life is the best destination for him."
"But what I didn't expect was that he was so outstanding. Not only did he comprehend the sword intent, but he also possessed nine spiritual veins."
"I am powerless to avenge my imperial sister, but Ji Chen is different. With nine spiritual veins... his future achievements will be unimaginable. Perhaps, even shaking the Holy Dynasty will be a piece of cake!" His eyes flashed with a gleam.
The Holy Dynasty is the central country of the Xuanyu. It is extremely powerful, far surpassing the Yun Kingdom and surpassing many aristocratic families and sects.
The reason why it can be called a holy dynasty is that it once had saints in the world. Not only in Xuanyu, but even in the entire human world, such a force should never be underestimated.
"These years... Ji Chen has not had a good life in the Ji family. Ji Xiaotian has always been brooding over ***'s death. He believes that ***'s death is closely related to Ji Chen. That's why he has been resentful of Ji Chen for many years." The man in black robe spoke.
Hearing these words, Emperor Yun couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Back then, Ji Chen was found to have a blocked spiritual sea, and the emperor had a big fight with Ji Xiaotian. She wanted to return to Yuntian City to seek help from the emperor to help Ji Chen solve the problem of the spiritual sea."
"But on the way back, something like that happened..."
"That's why Ji Xiaotian transferred his hatred to his own son!"
"But has he ever thought that Ji Chen was innocent? How old was he at that time? He knew nothing at all."
"Ji Xiaotian pushed everything onto a child!"
"He is unworthy of being a father!"
"If it weren't for my sister, I would have taken action against the Ji family long ago. Why would I let them continue to develop in Yangcheng?"
Having said this, Emperor Yun's expression had turned much colder.
"Originally, my position should have belonged to my sister. If she hadn't married Ji Xiaotian, she would have already become the only empress in the Xuanyu Kingdom throughout the ages!"
"Including the death of my royal sister, this is all Ji Xiaotian's fault!"
Seeing that Emperor Yun was furious, the man in black robe didn't dare to say anything.
After a long time, when Yun Chang'an's emotions had stabilized, the man in black robe took out a piece of letter from his sleeve.
"These are some things I have found out recently. Your Majesty, please take a look." The man in black robe spoke.
Emperor Yun frowned slightly, then reached out to take it, opened it and read it carefully.
As time went on, his expression became much colder again.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the table in front of him was smashed into powder by Yun Huang's palm. He shouted angrily, "What a Ji Wushuang! He is so vicious. The Ji family treats him well, but he secretly wants to take Ji Chen's life!"
"Ji Xiaotian, Ji Xiaotian! Over the years, you have favored your adopted son, but your own son lives a life worse than that of a servant at home!"
"Take a good look at what kind of evil ambitions your adopted son has!"
"Order! Gather all the secret guards immediately. The Ji family... this time, no matter what I say, you must not be lenient with them!"
Upon hearing this, the man in black robes quickly spoke up to dissuade him, "Your Majesty, please think twice. If the empress were still alive, she would definitely not want to see such an outcome."
"Can this emperor really only watch them treat Ji Chen like this?!"
Emperor Yun shouted coldly, "That's my sister's son! Originally, my position should have belonged to my sister. Even if she is gone now, it should belong to Ji Chen!"
"He is the emperor of Yun Country! But now, he is being framed by a villain like this. How can I tolerate this?"
The black-robed man frowned, "This matter... maybe Ji Chen himself has already noticed it. He should know how to deal with it. Your Majesty doesn't need to do it yourself. You just need to give him some push secretly. Otherwise, if the royal family really takes action against the Ji family, it will inevitably cause some unexpected turmoil in the court!"
After hearing this, Emperor Yun fell silent, and his emotions gradually stabilized.
He took a deep breath and looked at the letter in his hand. After a moment, he said, "Divide this information into several copies and send one copy to Ji Xiaotian, Ji Xueruo, Ji Yanran and others respectively. I want to see if they will take any action after knowing Ji Wushuang's wolfish ambitions!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, the man in black robe retreated.
