Chapter 525 I have a lot of grievances to tell

The guards welcomed Nangong Zeyue and the envoys into the hall, and Nangong Jun and the other senior brothers were led to Zichen Palace by several guards.

The seeds brought back from Wanling and the killers in the prison car were all brought into Zichen Palace.

This palace was prepared by the queen for her son.

It was decorated according to the specifications of the prince.

The entire Zichen Palace was majestic and magnificent, with golden and magnificent, carved beams and painted buildings showing the royal style.

The layout inside was rigorous, with pavilions and towers scattered in an orderly manner. The garden was next to a pool of clear water, and exotic flowers and plants were dotted in it.

The ground and stone steps were paved with white marble. From the details of the decoration, every place was personally reviewed by the queen, and everywhere was noble and luxurious.

In the hall, Nangong Zeyue felt very complicated, expectant and nervous.

Hearing the hurried footsteps coming from afar, he didn't have time to look back, and the envoys knelt down together.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness!"

Nangong Zeyue didn't know how to address and salute them before he confirmed their identities.

He stood there, watching the emperor and the empress walk towards him.

Nangong Zeyue looked at the empress first.

She had kind eyes and tears in her eyes. She forced herself to control her emotions and looked at him. Perhaps she was too excited, and the phoenix crown on her head trembled violently.

Nangong Zeyue had originally planned to return to Wanling if he was not the prince of Liang.

When he saw the empress's true appearance, he threw this idea out of his mind.

It was similar, too similar, the pair of smiling eyebrows, the well-defined lips, and the white skin.

Nangong Zeyue's footsteps involuntarily took two steps forward.

It was amazing, it turned out that my mother's eyes were so warm, and I had an impulse to get closer.

The queen recognized him at a glance. The handsome man who was staring at her stupidly was her Xuan'er.

Seeing her son recovered, tears welled up from her eyes.

She was so emotional that her lips couldn't help but tremble.

"Xuan'er!"

"Xuan'er, it's really me, Xuan'er, who's back."

The queen's voice was hoarse, and she no longer cared about losing her dignified and steady image in front of the ministers, and she ran over with open arms.

"Son! I'm your mother, your dear mother!"

The queen burst into tears, holding Nangong Zeyue's face with both hands and stroking it, as if she wanted to see enough and make up for the lost twenty years.

Feeling that the hands holding her face were trembling, Nangong Zeyue reached out and gently hugged the queen's shoulders to comfort her.

He felt a complex emotion, joy, and excitement all surged in his heart.

It felt so good to have a mother. When he was a child, he had imagined the scene of having a mother.

For example, when he was sleepy, his mother would coax him to sleep, instead of being scared by his senior brothers, saying that if he didn't sleep, it would be dawn, because he had to get up to practice at dawn, which scared him so much that he quickly closed his eyes and went to sleep.

When he was a child, he lived in the mountains and had never seen what a child with a mother looked like. He didn't even have the desire to look forward to it.

Once, he went down the mountain with his master and passed by a village. He saw a mother chasing a child with a rattan stick in her hand.

He envied the child who was beaten at that time. If he had a mother, he would never make her angry. If his mother wanted to beat him, he would never run away.

He wanted to call his mother, but his lips moved but he didn't shout.

When he raised his eyes to look at the emperor, his eyes were blurred. He didn't even notice that tears had blurred his eyes.

"Xuan'er!" The queen cried with joy. She lost control of her emotions and cried bitterly while hugging Nangong Zeyue.

Nangong Zeyue held his mother's shoulders firmly with one hand and gently stroked her back with the other hand.

He wanted to comfort his mother, but thousands of words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

"Queen, don't be excited. Isn't the child back? Let him go back to Zichen Palace to rest."

The emperor walked over and took the empress's shoulders, took the empress who was about to faint from crying into his arms and whispered to comfort her: "Queen, don't worry. I can see that he is our son. Everything will be decided after the recognition procedure is completed tomorrow."

The emperor is an emperor after all, and it is easy for him to control his emotions and calm himself down.

The queen sobbed, "He is our Xuan'er, I know it at a glance."

"I know, I can see clearly, he is almost exactly like you."

The emperor paused and looked at Nangong Zeyue, "I believe you also understand that your identity is not ordinary. You need to go through the recognition procedure under the supervision of the ministers, so that you can convince the public."

Nangong Zeyue naturally understood that his identity was not determined by the emperor and the queen.

In the future, he must inherit the throne with a legitimate reason.

If he does not have the support of the ministers, even if he sits on that position, it is easy to be pulled down by others.

Seeing the emperor's dignified face with a sick look, he nodded, "I understand."

The queen stopped sobbing and waved to the maid behind her, "Send His Highness back to rest."

Nangong Zeyue bowed, looked at the queen deeply again before leaving.

The queen wanted to follow, but the emperor held her hand, "Queen, don't worry, the child has been tired on the journey, let him have a good sleep first."

The queen raised her other hand and wiped her tears, "It's my concubine who is too anxious. The emperor understands the feeling of losing and regaining, right?"

"I feel the same way. For his future path to be open, the queen should be patient and do everything according to the rules. Don't let those who are interested in him have a stroke."

The queen nodded and glanced at the ministers who were still kneeling, "My dear ministers, you have worked hard on the way. Please get up quickly."

The ministers knelt for a while longer, and understood the feelings of the emperor and the emperor when they first saw their son. Anyone who suddenly saw their long-lost son return would ignore the people around them.

The ministers stood up and rubbed their knees.

The emperor and the empress looked at everyone.

"You..."

All of them had dark circles under their eyes and their faces were sallow. The empress looked at the ministers and then at the emperor.

Why did she feel that their faces were similar?

Gongxi Shuo bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, I have a lot of grievances to tell you. I will tell you in detail."

The empress did not participate in political affairs. Seeing that the ministers had something to discuss with the emperor, the empress returned to the palace with red eyes.

In the hall, the emperor had just sat down.

The ministers began to cry and tell the story of the repeated assassinations on the road.

When everyone talked about it, they said categorically that the assassins were sent by the third prince.

After hearing this, the Emperor of Liang's eyes darkened, "Do you have any evidence?"

This was said through gritted teeth, which showed how angry the Emperor was.

Gongxi Shuo said: "I don't have any, but the eldest prince has evidence. Your Majesty, the Third Prince is so ruthless to his brothers, which shows that he was also instigated by someone."

"Your Majesty, think twice, Lord Gongxi is right, the Third Prince has been accompanied by people from Nanzhao since he was a child, and it is hard to guarantee that someone is not obstructing him."

Everyone knows that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. Even if that incident proves that it was the Third Prince, he can deny it flatly, and the Emperor will not punish him severely. It is better to take the opportunity to chop off his left and right arms.

The Emperor of Liang nodded slightly, "My dear ministers, you have made contributions to bringing back the eldest prince safely, and you will all be rewarded."
