1366: The Emperor Has Returned II

The Emperor Has Returned II

And this… was all because he had to review reports for His Majesty!1

Nalan Zhanqian had mentally stabbed Feng Tianyu over a thousand times by now, so just berating him out loud was already very nice of him.

Perhaps it was because he was recalling his tragic life for the past eighteen months, Nalan Zhanqian then started to shed tears of sorrow and hate.

He should have stopped his sister from marrying this bastard no matter what back then.

If his sister had not married him, he would not have been the emperor's brother-in-law, all the more so, be left with this grave responsibility.

"Feng Tianyu!"

Nalan Zhangqian gritted his teeth in resentment. He swept all the reports to the floor and stomped his way to the imperial study room hastily.

He was going to kill this bastard to let off steam!

Forget status and righteousness, all he knew was that his days had been even worse than a dog's! At least, a dog could still hug his wife to sleep on quiet nights.

And he…

Heh! His wish of bearing another daughter was now gone because of Feng Tianyu, just like that!

***

In a secluded part of the palace courtyard.

A cry of surprise echoed through the whole courtyard. Even those who were training stopped in shock.

"Commander, Commander! His Majesty and Her Highness have returned, even the princess and prince have come back!"

That person dashed into the courtyard with a face full of surprise.

Tang Zi's hand trembled and the long sword in her hand fell to the ground, resulting in a clear, crisp sound.

In a flash, she appeared in front of that person and grabbed her arm.

"The empress and princess have returned?"

'They've returned?'

Even her voice was shaking, the delight visible on her face. Her pair of clear eyes sparkled like the stars, so dazzling.

A year and a half, it had been eighteen months!

The Iron-Blooded Troop was very different now.

Back then, when the Iron-Blooded Troop was under Nalan Yan's care, there were only women and no men.

It was a pity that the troop was then handed over to Feng Ruqing.

Next to Feng Ruqing was one Nalan who viewed all women as love rivals.

And so, Feng Ruqing had Tang Zi recruit some new blood. Now the Iron-Blooded Troop consisted of an equal number of men and women.

Moreover, in these eighteen months, the Iron-Blooded Troop had made countless breakthroughs. They never stopped cultivating and strengthening themselves so that they could continue fighting for their princess on the battlefield!

Never giving up!

"Let's go, let's go and receive the empress and the princess."

To Tang Zi, the emperor and the prince were not very important.

They only cared for the empress and the princess.

His Majesty was the empress's husband, the princess's father, so they were willing to give their lives to protect him. But after not meeting for eighteen months, they only wanted to see Nalan Yan and Feng Ruqing.

At the same time.

At Liu Manor.

Everything was a mess.

Ever since Liu Fuyong had been stripped of his position, the whole of Liu family had moved into the inner courtyard.

Their new environment could not compare to the chancellor's manor, but it was still something. At least they did not have to live on the streets.

In the inner courtyard, Liu Yuchen had a bottle of wine in his hand as he drank, bottoms up, as if being drunk was the only way he could feel a little better.

The sunlight was warm, but it could not melt his cold and frozen heart.

Liu Fuyong entered through the door and immediately saw Liu Yuchen drinking excessively. He frowned as disdain flashed in his eyes. "Is this how a grown man behaves every single day? Why do I, Liu Fuyong, have a son like you?"

Liu Yuchen snorted and laughed coldly. He stood up, a little wasted, to stare at Liu Fuyong who was standing under the willow tree, provoking him.
