117: All parties should pay attention

Everyone knows!

Nangong Aotian and Nangong Aochen were full brothers born of the same mother, and their relationship had been extremely good since childhood.

Now that Nangong Aochen was dead, it was understandable that Nangong Aotian excessively doted on his only surviving son, Nangong Yu.

Furthermore, it was rumored that the Empress Dowager was very fond of her grandson, Nangong Yu. If the old lady spoke, the current Your Majesty would not dare refuse her Face.

Thinking of this, Nangong Wenyou felt that he probably couldn't compete with such favor.

Nangong Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this information, understanding that his Imperial Uncle was helping him.

He looked at Nangong Wenyou, "Is there anything else?"

Nangong Wenyou glanced at him, his expression complicated, and said, "Today at the fourth quarter of noon, the Zhenbei Army has arrived outside the Qingyou Imperial City via the Teleportation Array, and is currently stationed just outside the Imperial City!"

"Because of this, The Wang, Zhang, and Lin Families are now plunged into fear. To be precise, they were already terrified and despairing when Your Majesty ordered their house arrest."

"Now they are all contacting external relatives, trying to beg you for mercy. This Little Fellow is the first, and perhaps... the last!"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu nodded slightly, "To be honest, this Prince was truly furious yesterday, but even so, this Prince never intended to kill anyone!"

"But who told them to be so insensible? Since they acted this way, this Prince naturally has to accept their heads."

Speaking up to this point, Nangong Yu's gaze instantly sharpened, "This Prince wants to tell the world that anyone can be touched, but touching this Prince's people..."

"Is forbidden!"

Saying this, Nangong Yu glanced coldly at Nangong Wenyou, causing the latter's heart to skip a beat.

He looked at this Little Fellow, who was shorter and younger than himself, yet possessed a hint of dominance, and felt a chill in his heart.

Could this Little Madman know what happened yesterday?

However, Nangong Yu merely gave him a cold glance before turning around and leading his people toward the main gate.

Just then, the four guards exchanged glances and opened the main gate exactly on time.

"Yuer!"

Seeing Nangong Yu emerge, Shangguan Yuexi smiled, bent down, and stretched out her hands.

"Mother!"

Nangong Yu was also full of smiles, confidently throwing himself into her embrace, completely devoid of the sharp gaze he had moments ago.

This scene caused those who had noticed Nangong Yu's previous gaze to feel a bit stunned.

This Little Fellow... which one is his true self?

Or perhaps, both are him, and he simply adapts based on who he is facing?

Shangguan Yuexi smiled, then seemed to recall something, and said with hesitation, "Yuer, the Zhenbei Army has arrived. Why don't Mother take people over, and you stay here?"

But upon hearing this, Nangong Yu glanced at Qing Ling, then shook his head, saying, "Mother, Qing Ling is Yuer's person after all. Since she was bullied, Yuer must personally step forward to support her!"

"Just like when Yuer is bullied, Mother will personally step forward to support Yuer. This is something Yuer cannot avoid!"

Speaking here, Nangong Yu revealed a happy smile, "Of course, having Mother backing Yuer is Yuer's greatest confidence!"

"Giggle!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Yuexi couldn't help but laugh happily, "Mother only wants to be Yuer's greatest source of confidence, forever protecting my Yuer!"

"Protection, huh!"

Nangong Yu whispered softly, his eyes filled with happy smiles. His choice was not wrong!

In a couple of days, once he refines the Soul Nurturing Pill and sells it to the Time-Space Merchant Guild, he will exchange for a Guardian Spirit Root for Mother!

Before that, he planned not to give Qing Ling her Spiritual Root for the time being. Qing Ling is excellent, but how could she receive the Spiritual Root gift before Mother?

He smiled happily and gave his mother a Kiss, "Mother must keep her word!"

"Of course!"

Shangguan Yuexi carried Nangong Yu and walked toward the carriage. Su Xingmeng and the others quickly followed.

Watching the carriage leave, everyone inside and outside the Supervision Office couldn't help but look solemn. The Zhenbei Army might truly be entering the city!

Soon, the carriage left the Imperial Palace, but it did not head toward the Prince of Zhenbeis Residence. Instead, the carriage traveled all the way west, heading toward the West City Gate!

All forces in the Qingyou Imperial City naturally noticed this scene, as they had all sent low-cultivation servants to follow the carriage.

Or rather, from the moment the Zhenbei Army appeared at the Teleportation Array Plaza and stationed themselves outside the city, all forces had been monitoring the movements of the Prince of Zhenbeis Residence!

...Heavenly World.

The largest and most famous restaurant in the Qingyou Empire was none other than this establishment!

At this moment, various forces in the Imperial City had people gathered here, their hearts filled with curiosity!

"Tell me, does the Grand Consort of Zhenbei truly dare to lead the Zhenbei Army into the city and suppress and kill the members of those three families?"

"Who knows?"

"You should be asking if the Prince of Zhenbei, Nangong Yu, dares to lead the army into the city? After all, this matter started because of him, and the Zhenbei Army was summoned at his request!"

"The Prince of Zhenbei, Nangong Yu, is only four years old, a time when he fears neither heaven nor earth. What wouldn't he dare to do?"

"That's true. Will the Grand Consort of Zhenbei allow him to act recklessly? After all, this is the Imperial City, right under the Emperor's feet, and Nangong Yu seems intent on killing people!"

"Not allow it? What kind of joke are you making? If she didn't allow it, the Zhenbei Army wouldn't have marched south, and the carriage from the Prince of Zhenbeis Residence wouldn't be heading toward the West City Gate."

"Uh, so, the Zhenbei Army might really enter the city?"

"Highly likely!"

"Furthermore, Your Majesty personally issued an Imperial Decree back then, permitting the Prince of Zhenbei, Nangong Yu, to lead troops into the Imperial City without further decree. He currently possesses that Imperial Decree."

"And didn't you forget the attitude of that person in the palace? If that person hadn't allowed it, those three families wouldn't have been placed under house arrest!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was slightly startled, and then fell silent.

After a long time.

"Just wait. The result will be known soon. Whether it's doting favoritism or something else, the outcome will be revealed quickly!"

Someone whispered softly. Everyone present nodded slightly, remaining silent... Shouxian Palace.

"Aotian, will this Little Fellow really lead the Zhenbei Army into the city and cause trouble at the residences of the Lin Family and the other two families?"

Ji Ziyu looked at Nangong Aotian, who looked calm, and couldn't help but ask.

Nangong Aotian nodded slightly, "Empress Mother, haven't you figured it out yet? This Little Fellow is extremely protective of his own people. The three young men from the Lin Family and the other two families bullying his maid Qing Ling has already touched his Inverse Scale. The Zhenbei Army entering the city is inevitable."

Hearing this, Ji Ziyu looked thoughtful.

She naturally knew that Nangong Yu was small but audacious; otherwise, he wouldn't have directly reprimanded Chun Mei and the others at the age of six months.

She looked at Nangong Aotian, smiled, and said, "Would you like to go and take a look, and see what this Little Fellow will do?"

"Of course!"

Nangong Aotian smiled slightly, and the two disappeared together from Shouxian Palace.
