Ye Mucheng wanted to follow Ming Xi into the palace, and Fire Phoenix also volunteered. The three children rode horses into the palace. Ming Xi and Fire Phoenix had no problem riding horses, but Ye Mucheng had short legs. He thought they would enter the palace in a carriage. He didn't expect his cousin to ride a horse.
"Come on up." Fire Phoenix lifted Ye Mucheng onto her horse.
Almost four years had passed, and the soldiers guarding the palace gate had changed. Ming Xi was stopped before he could even get close to the palace gate.
"Where did you come from? This isn't a place for you to play. Leave quickly." A soldier recognized Ye Mucheng and knew he was General Ye's son. He thought they were naughty and came here to play, so he chased them away in a serious tone.
"We're not here to play. Can you tell them that we're here to see Ming Yu?" Ming Xi dismounted from his horse. He knew that the emperor in the palace was no longer his father, so he was no longer a prince. Even if he told them his name, no one would recognize him.
The soldier said, "If you want to see the princess, please come back tomorrow morning. It's late now, and there's no longer a message."
Ye Mucheng shouted anxiously, "Cousin is the princess's brother. Why can't he go in?"
"How can the princess have a brother? Young Master Ye, don't joke." The two soldiers guarding the gate chuckled.
These words attracted the attention of another general inside. He slowly walked out and stared at Ming Xi, as if he was looking at the emperor who once sat on the dragon throne.
"The First Prince …" he cried out in surprise, "You're the First Prince?"
Ming Xi looked at the man and couldn't remember seeing him at all.
"Sir, did you drink today? There's only one princess in our Jin Country. How can there be a prince? "the two soldiers whispered.
"What do you know?" That person berated the two of them. He walked in front of Ming Xi and knelt down, "Your Highness, this lowly Lu Wen was once your guard. You don't remember this lowly one, but this lowly one still remembers you."
Ming Xi raised his eyebrows slightly. He used to have many guards, but he didn't remember many of them.
"Please rise. I'm no longer a prince," Ming Xi said lightly. "I'm just here to see my sister."
"He's a prince?" The two soldiers looked at each other. They knew that the Jin Kingdom once had a prince, but wasn't that prince already dead? If this boy was the previous prince, then … did the previous Emperor and Empress … also come back?
"Quick, go tell Lord Song," one of the soldiers said in a low voice.
Ming Xi smiled faintly. "Could I trouble you to pass on a message? I wish to see Ming Yu."
"Your Highness, please come in." Lu Wen said, inviting Ming Xi into the palace.
Even if Mingxi's status was different from before, he was still special to the Jin Nation.
"Cousin, let's go in and wait for Mingyu," Ye Mucheng said.
Ming Xi thought about it carefully. He also wanted to know how Ming Yu was living in the palace, so he left the horse outside and prepared to go in to find Ming Yu.
"Who gave you permission to enter and leave the palace without any notice?"
Just as Ming Xi and the rest were about to enter the palace, a sharp voice rang out.
Ming Xi raised his head to look and saw a man dressed in black slowly walking over. A pair of sharp eyes stared at him, a faint killing intent in the depths of his eyes.
"Lord Teng." All the soldiers bowed respectfully when they saw him.
"Who is this child?" Teng Ye stood in front of Ming Xi and looked down at him.
Lu Wen whispered, "Lord Teng, he's … His Royal Highness."
Teng Ye sneered. "The Emperor doesn't even have a concubine, how can there be a prince? Don't just casually treat a child as a prince. Do you know that this is a capital offense? "
"He's Princess Ming Yu's brother. Isn't he a prince?" Ye Mucheng had seen Teng Ye before and knew that he was from the hidden guards. He looked sinister and didn't look like a good person.
"You are …" Teng Ye sneered as he looked at Ye Mucheng. "Ye Chunnan's son? What His Royal Highness doesn't exist anymore. Talking nonsense like this is a capital offense, do you know that? "
Ye Mucheng was still young after all. After being scared by Teng Ye, his face turned pale.
Ming Xi stood protectively behind him and raised his eyes to look coldly at Teng Ye. "When the words' death penalty 'come out of your mouth, why don't I feel any deterrence at all? You say that I'm not a prince, but am I not a prince? Who are you? The current Emperor? Or someone who can control the entire court? My apologies, I've never heard of someone like you. "
"Ming Xi, you're being too direct. You need to look at the owner when you scold a dog. His owner is your Royal Uncle." Fire Phoenix said with a smile.
Teng Ye's face darkened. "What did you say?"
"I said you're a dog." Fire Phoenix said with a smile.
"Anyone who trespasses into the palace is a capital offense. Take them all down!" Teng Ye coldly ordered. Behind him, several men dressed in black appeared.
Fire Phoenix raised her eyebrows. "Looks like we're going to beat up dogs."
Anger flashed in Teng Ye's eyes. He had never seen Fire Phoenix before. She was just a follower, yet she dared to call him a dog.
"Ai, I just wanted to find Ming Yu." Ming Xi lightly sighed. When the hidden guards attacked him, he easily dodged them. "I'm not here to fight."
"He clearly doesn't want you to enter the palace to see Ming Yu. No, he's afraid that the appearance of a prince will cause chaos in the court. So, he wants to take the opportunity to capture you. Maybe he'll kill you if he can. At that time, he'll just say that he doesn't know who you are." Fire Phoenix said sarcastically.
Ming Xi dodged the attacks of the black clothed men without retaliating. He felt that Fire Phoenix's analysis was very reasonable. "Lil 'Fire, when did you become so smart?"
"Of course, this person's thoughts are so obvious. Of course, I can see through them." Fire Phoenix said, not admitting that she had secretly seen through Teng Ye's thoughts.
"If you don't stop, I won't be polite." Ming Xi warned Teng Ye.
Teng Ye coldly said, "You trespassed into the palace. Taking you down is my duty."
Ming Xi chuckled. He had nothing to say.
"Wow …" Ye Mucheng was already completely dumbfounded. He knew that his cousin should have learned martial arts, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful.
Those hidden guards were not his cousin's match at all. In just a few moves, five or six hidden guards had already fallen. Even Teng Ye didn't have the slightest chance to retaliate.
"Your duty is to go and work for the emperor, not to act like a fox exploiting the tiger's might." Ming Xi stepped on Teng Ye, "You want to act first and report later? It's still too early."
At this moment, Teng Ye's heart was in turmoil. If he wasn't being stepped on and unable to move, he would never have dreamed that a seven or eight year old child could beat him to the point where he couldn't retaliate.
What kind of monster was this Mo Mingxi?
