Acai's Sky

Chapter 425: Meeting the Emperor, Step 1…

The Yu Dynasty was an ancient country with a profound historical heritage and brilliant culture.

Since its founding, it has experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain, but it has always stood firm, like a towering mountain, witnessing the passage of time.

In that ancient and mysterious imperial city, purple mist lingered, slowly coming from the east. The dragon veins twisted and turned like a giant dragon circling there, endowing this land with endless auspiciousness and spiritual energy.

The magnificent palace complex stands tall and majestic, and every brick and tile seems to contain endless history and vicissitudes, telling the glory and honor of the past.

...

The autumn wind is bleak, and the fallen leaves dance like butterflies, fluttering down on the ancient streets.

At this time, King Rui Sima Yan came into the palace in a hurry with a man wearing a black cloak named Miao Xian to meet the emperor.

Miao Xian was wrapped tightly from head to toe, as if afraid of being contaminated by the dust of the world.

However, after entering the palace, Miao Xian remained calm and composed, as if the noise from the outside world had nothing to do with him.

He continued to concentrate on reading the book in his hand, without any tension or anxiety on his face.

King Rui couldn't help but look at him curiously, with an indescribable doubt and curiosity in his heart, and couldn't help but ask:

"You're about to meet Father. Aren't you really nervous at all?"

Miao Xian slowly put down the book in his hand and replied calmly and firmly, "I don't feel nervous, but more joyful.

After all, after years of hard searching, I finally found my relatives, and the joy I feel is beyond words.

As for other aspects, I haven't thought too much about it, I just let it go."

Upon hearing this, Prince Rui became even more curious and personally poured a cup of fragrant tea for Miao Xian, then said, "You were born into wealth and status as a prince. With a little effort, you might be able to reach a higher level.

Now that you know the truth, do you feel resentment? Those southern barbarians planned all this, exchanging you and then abandoning you outside the Taoist temple.

And those damned Japanese people took advantage of the situation and replaced you with the Nanman. They really deserve to die!

What about you? Now that you know the truth, what are your thoughts and feelings about these things?

Miao Xian, upon hearing this, maintained his indifference and detachment, and replied calmly, "Everything in the world has its destiny.

What I said doesn't matter. If you can't change it, why worry about it? Just let it be."

Upon hearing this, Prince Rui couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

His brother has been staying in the Taoist temple for many years. Has he really become so detached from the world?

After doing this, is he going to fulfill his wish and become a Taoist priest?

It's really hard to understand!

...

Yu Dynasty Imperial Study

When the two men arrived at the door, a eunuch came to inform them.

Soon, they were summoned by the emperor.

Prince Rui turned around and grabbed Eunuch Qiao, whispering, "Eunuch Qiao, I want to ask you something. Is my father in a good mood today?"

Eunuch Qiao quickly bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is not in a good mood today. He was just furious about the Seventh Prince incident and even lost his temper. He sent an order to give him a severe scolding..."

Upon hearing this, King Rui nodded to show that he understood.

Then, he took Miao Xian and followed Eunuch Qiao into the imperial study.

After entering the imperial study, the two knelt and saluted. Prince Rui said loudly: "Your son pays homage to the emperor. May your father be blessed with good health and a long life!"

Miao Xian also knelt and saluted like Prince Rui, saying calmly, "I, your humble servant, pay my respects to the Emperor. May His Majesty be blessed with endless happiness and a long life!"

Sima Lin, the emperor of the Yu Dynasty, is a wise monarch in the world today.

Although he was almost sixty, he was still handsome and looked very young. He had an elegant and refined temperament, and his posture was as straight and strong as a pine or cypress.

He was dressed in a gorgeous dragon robe and had a dazzling crown on his head. Every move he made exuded unparalleled imperial majesty and dignity.

Sima Lin was exceptionally intelligent and studious from a young age. He possessed profound and unique insights and wisdom on state governance.

He was well aware of the hardships and difficulties in people's lives, so after he ascended the throne, he actively implemented various reform policies to reduce the burden on the people and encourage agricultural production.

Under his wise leadership, the country is increasingly prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and society is harmonious and stable.

In the court, Sima Lin was good at accepting advice and opening up channels for communication.

He treated his ministers with both kindness and authority, and appointed people to the right positions. He promoted many talented officials, injecting new vitality and hope into the country's development.

However, this emperor was not a kind person. He showed decisiveness and firmness in handling state affairs.

When foreign enemies invaded or domestic rebellions occurred, he sent out a large army without hesitation, quickly quelled the war with lightning speed, and safeguarded the peace and stability of the country.

At this moment, Emperor Sima Lin gently put down the imperial pen in his hand and sat upright on the dragon throne.

With a solemn expression and sharp eyes, he looked sharply at the two people kneeling below.

"Stand up and take a seat!" His voice was full of majesty and dignity, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Qiao immediately sent someone to bring two exquisite chairs and carefully placed them behind Prince Rui and Miao Xian.

Sima Lin picked up the tea that had just been changed and took a sip, then put the cup back on the table and leaned back comfortably on the dragon chair.

He had been reviewing memorials for half a day and felt a little tired.

At this moment he closed his eyes and relaxed trying to clear his mind and emotions.

a moment,

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report." The voice of Sima Hui, Prince Rui, echoed in the empty imperial study, breaking the original tranquility and silence.

Emperor Sima Lin opened his eyes slightly and looked back and forth between Sima Hui and Miao Xian who lowered his head. An inexplicable feeling and doubt surged in his heart.

"What's so urgent?"

His voice was low and powerful, with an aura of authority and majesty that seemed to be able to shock people.

Prince Rui took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Father, this person is your real seventh son, Miao Xian. The so-called 'Seventh Prince' in the palace is actually a member of the Japanese tribe. He was the child of the Japanese who replaced the Nanman child after the Nanman exchanged children..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the imperial study fell into dead silence.

The emperor was so shocked that he almost stood up. He stared at Miao Xian in front of him with wide eyes in disbelief.

When Miao Xian entered the imperial study, he had already taken off his cloak, revealing a face that was extremely similar to Sima Hui.

Sima Lin seemed to be searching for something on his face...

"This is real?"

The emperor's voice trembled with a hint of disbelief and difficulty in accepting.

"This...how is this possible?"

He murmured to himself, feeling an indescribable shock and grief in his heart.

No wonder he disliked the Seventh Prince so much. It turned out that he was not his son at all!
