Meng Huan furiously looked at the little teenager beside him.

This little brat was the child emperor manipulated by Lin Bozhou into a useless person?

His face showed surprise. Emperor Xuan He felt good about himself and raised his hand. “It’s okay that you didn’t recognize Us. After all, We’ve always been unconventional and love to come up with strange strategies. No need to be surprised.”

“…………”

When you said a strange strategy, did you mean climbing the wall and not daring to jump down? Meng Huan thought so in his heart and pursed his lips but did not say it.

The child emperor’s posture was proud. “There is also no need to kneel. Since you are Imperial Brother’s concubine, you are also Our family.”

“……” Meng Huan: Well, okay.

Emperor Xuan He pretended to pace slowly. “We wanted to punish you for deceiving the emperor, but you led Us to Imperial Brother, so forget it.”

The brat pretentiously made an attitude and walked step by step towards Lin Bozhou. “Imperial Brother, you shut the door, declined guests, and did not attend court for several days. We truly miss you, so We had to come personally to find you.”

After all, it was a secret trip out of the palace. He could hardly conceal the guilt in his voice and swept his eyes at the people kneeling on the ground. “Get up. We insisted on sending the carriage and horse first. It has nothing to do with all of you.”

Surprisingly, none of the ministers in the group dared to get up from the grounds at the prince’s entrance.

Their heads seemed to be buried even lower, fearing Lin Bozhou’s gaze, which was cold enough to kill.

Yesterday, the emperor cried in the throne room. After weeping, he said he wanted to come and find the prince regent, but the palace eunuchs and ministers advised against it. But today, he actually changed into a eunuch’s clothes and let a few eunuchs help him slip out of the palace!

What was this? Some emperors only left the palace a few times in their lifetime, and each time, they were accompanied by hundreds and thousands of guards, fearing that something might go wrong!

If the emperor met the slightest problem and died or were crippled, the emperor, who was at the center of the state system, would collapse. A gale would blow through the court, causing political changes and officials to be promoted, involving the interests and safety of countless people!

Emperor Xuan He knew that he was wrong and apologized. “Imperial Brother, We know We are wrong.”

Lin Bozhou’s face was gloomy, and a dense stormy aura was tangled around him. His handsome face was all depressed and irritable. The suppressed low pressure made the Emperor’s heart tremble.

Lin Bozhou heard that the emperor exited the palace without permission to the prince’s residence. Thus, he hurriedly got on a horse to look for him and was now full of sweat, cooled by the wind into ice-cold drops.

But the cold was not as cold as his heart. The emperor was so naive and ignorant, not understanding the big picture and not abiding by his duty as an emperor. What was the use of it?

This was a slap in the face of the ministers educated in Confucian etiquette.

Lin Bozhou’s eyelashes dropped, cold light spread, and his expression was a suppressed calmness. He said, “Your Majesty is right.”

These words were like thunderbolts, causing Emperor Xuan He to open his eyes wide.

After a pause, Lin Bozhou said slowly, “The wrong ones are the eunuchs who gave His Majesty ideas, the Jinwu guards who let down their guard, the Yulin armies who opened the palace gates, and the ministers who are not watching closely. There is no wrongful ruler in the world. His Majesty is right, but the fault is that treacherous people deliberately blinded and lured him.”

He swept his gaze over the people kneeling all over the ground.

The people had cold sweats, and they gulped desperately.

The word “treacherous” seemed to have slapped Emperor Xuan He. “It was Our idea, and they—”

Lin Bozhou lifted his robe sleeve and knelt on both knees. “And this small official is also at fault.”

Emperor Xuan He: “………………”

Meng Huan: “………………”

Lin Bozhou actually knelt?

This powerful minister, who could rip the emperor’s head off with one hand in the book, actually knelt?

Shouldn’t the emperor be angrily reprimanded for what he did wrong, put in confinement in the palace, or even hit a few times?

Having never seen such a battle, Meng Huan realized something was wrong and quietly backed away to reduce his presence.

Emperor Xuan He was dismayed. “Why is Imperial Brother kneeling? Get up quickly!”

Lin Bozhou had the privilege of not kneeling when seeing the emperor, a privilege only two people had enjoyed since the country’s founding. This showed the high status of Lin Bozhou in his mind and his importance to him.

Putting aside the identity of the emperor, Emperor Xuan He was a sensitive, delicate, and somewhat fragile youngster.

Becoming an emperor at the age of seven, he had to mingle with the loyalists and traitors in the court and was surrounded by wolves, unable to see through and fight over anyone. All the people fawning over him were doing so for the power in his hands, but only Lin Bozhou……

His Imperial Brother…… sincerely assisted him.

Emperor Xuan He always treated Lin Bozhou as his only moral support, treating him as the closest relative.

He would ask him for advice on any trivial matters. When Lin Bozhou did not stand beside him at the court, he would be frightened by the whole court to speak and tremble.

But Lin Bozhou was kneeling on the ground, and no matter how hard he tried, he wouldn’t get up. His knees were as heavy as iron, and he said word for word. “The eunuchs serving His Majesty today, the Jinwu guards on duty, and the Yulin armies guarding the city gates, all of them will be sentenced to execution by the Northern Zhenfu Division, and their heads will be displayed to the public.”

Emperor Xuan He’s face was white, and his pupils were wide. “Imperial Brother!”

This included his recent favorite little eunuch!

“This small official had been inconsiderate in supporting Your Majesty. Thus, Your Majesty has been playing around and left the palace, which almost caused a big disaster that shook the country. Requesting Your Majesty to hit this servant with a cane 50 times and dismiss……”

Lin Bozhou wanting to scold him was fine, but Lin Bozhou didn’t scold and actually said he wanted to resign and even beat him himself!

Emperor Xuan He knew that his Imperial Brother was angry. He screamed and then cried bitterly. “Imperial Brother, We were wrong! It’s Our fault! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh……”

The emperor cried bitterly, still a child’s crying method.

And Lin Bozhou was kneeling on the ground, his expression was calm, and there was unspeakable cold oppression in his eyes.

Although he was kneeling, his back was straight, and everyone knew he was the dominant one.

Help……

Meng Huan finally knew how Lin Bozhou was a manipulator.

It was terrifying.

To an insecure little child, the cruelest thing was abandonment!

Meng Huan grew up knowing this feeling much too well, so he turned pale and almost felt the same way. On the other hand, Emperor Xuan He hugged Lin Bozhou, wailing and crying.
