Ying Lan, this brat, was really hiding his true strength. Bloody Hand Butcher was at least a peerless expert of the sage realm and above, yet he was actually willing to be his personal bodyguard!？
Although Ying Zheng was shocked, he did not show it on his face.
Zhao Gao was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted. He clasped his fists and looked respectful.
"Did Your Majesty already see through it? Otherwise, why would he dote on the sixth prince so much recently? He was conferred a title of nobility and was protected so much in the morning court. Compared to His Majesty, this humble subject's eyesight is simply a hundred thousand miles away!”
Zhao Gao's obedient dog slave appearance made Ying Zheng very happy.
However, when these things were linked together, it seemed to make sense. He could only hear Ying Lan's inner thoughts, and it had worked wonders many times. That was why he treated her like a treasure.
He didn't expect Ying Lan to give him more surprises than this!
"Okay, it's good that you know. Let's go." Ying Zheng said calmly.
Then, he brought Zhao Gao back to the crowd.
At this moment, Huhai was clamoring and didn't realize the situation he was in.
"Just you wait, Imperial Father will definitely avenge me!”
After all, Zhao Gao was his teacher, and he would always consider everything for him. If he dragged Ying Zheng aside, he would definitely add fuel to the fire.
"Pa." Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng did not say a word, but slapped him in the face.
Huhai was stunned. He screamed in pain and covered his face in confusion.
"Father, why did you hit me?”
"I hit you. If you weren't my biological son, I would have dragged you to be beheaded.”Ying Zheng's face was dark and cold.
" Teacher, this…" Huhai could only ask Zhao Gao for help. The latter gave him a look, telling him to shut up.
"Hurry up and get lost. If you're too free, go and accompany Fusu to build the Great Wall!”As soon as Ying Zheng gave the order, Huhai was scared out of his wits.
Zhao Gao said goodbye and left as well.
A moment later, in Consort Qi's bedroom.
"Zhen is a little hungry. Consort Qi, can you make a few dishes?”Ying Zheng asked with a smile.
"Aiya, convenient, convenient. As long as Your Majesty wants to eat, ChenQie can eat at any time.”Concubine Qi was so excited. Her previous state was no different from being banished to the Cold Palace. She did not step out of the door, and Ying Zheng had never come to visit her. Although they were husband and wife, they did not feel like a family.
Today, Huhai had once again acted presumptuously in the Qi Palace, and Ying Zheng had taught him a lesson, which made Concubine Qi feel extremely pleased. After all, she was once a servant girl of the Hu Clan. Although Ying Lan was a prince, she was still a subject of gossip and could not even lift her head.
Fortunately, the current Ying Lan was the most favored prince.
Ying Zheng's face was filled with a loving smile. The more he looked at Ying Lan, the happier he became.
Why is this old thing here again? Wait, could it be that he has guessed my identity after the Divine Weapon Rankings were announced?!
'That's not right. If he really guessed it, shouldn't he kneel down and beg me to teach him how to make Great Qin swing for ten thousand generations?
"Ahem." Ying Zheng was drinking tea, and these two sentences echoed in his mind, making him choke so hard that his entire body trembled, and he almost could not breathe.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Ge Nia hurriedly asked.
"I'm fine. I drank too much." Ying Zheng calmed himself down and waved his hand.
Ge Nia found it a little strange. Ying Zheng was a heaven realm expert after all, yet he choked on tea like this. It was ridiculous…His physical condition had been pretty good recently.
This little rascal was afraid that he would live a few more years, and now he wanted him to kneel!？
He was the True Dragon Son of Heaven. Moreover, there was no reason for a father to kneel down to his son.
If not for the fact that the Bloody Butcher was lurking nearby, Ying Zheng would have given Ying Lan a tight slap!
"Lan 'er, did you know that the Heavenly Dao Divine Weapon Rankings were announced today?”Ying Zheng asked casually.
"I'm not too sure." Ying Lan answered simply.
Nonsense, it's affecting my sleep. How can I not know?
" Let me tell you, third place is Mister Gai's Deep Rainbow, second is my Emperor's Sword, and first is Bloody Butcher's Great Xia Dragonfinch…
At first, my father was not convinced. Why was the Bloody Butcher ranked first and above me? But after seeing the Great Xia Dragonfinch conquer the sea of weapons, I was convinced. I was convinced.
I'm more curious. How did you know him?”
In Ying Zheng's eyes, anyone who had reached the level of Blood-handed Butcher would definitely be an old man with a sage-like demeanor. Moreover, his purpose for coming here this time was very simple, which was to meet Blood-handed Butcher. Therefore, he did not beat around the bush with Ying Lan.
What the hell? I don't care if you're convinced or not. I don't need you to be convinced.
"Imperial Father, what are you talking about?" Ying Lan blinked her eyes and said with an innocent expression.
"Sigh, you don't have to pretend. Imperial Father already knows. Is it because he doesn't want to show his face?”
'You know nothing. I'm dying of laughter. It seems that the old thing still doesn't know my identity. That was close.'
Ying Lan heaved a sigh of relief. He did not know if it was because he had given Ying Zheng the farming blueprint last time, but his lying flat check-in system had been downgraded, from a daily check-in to a weekly check-in. This made Ying Lan depressed for a long time, and he could only tuck his tail between his legs, afraid that he would expose something else.
What he didn't know was that Ying Zheng could hear his inner thoughts. Whether it was the plan to conquer the enemy, the brilliant knighthood, or the secret investigation of the Nether Army sent by Ying Zheng, all of them had affected the system.
"Yes, the Bloody Hand Butcher is an otherworldly expert who doesn't like to get involved in the mortal world.”Ying Lan nodded seriously.
"Admit it, you brat. Father is just pretending to be stupid and is not really stupid. I was hoping that you would take the initiative to admit it. Who knew that you had your own thoughts?”Ying Zheng grumbled. At this moment, he looked like a little resentful wife in her boudoir, looking very funny.
No way, he was so sure. Could it be that he had some conclusive evidence?
Ying Lan frowned but didn't say anything.
"Tell me, how did you get to know this unworldly expert? Father is quite curious. Previously, you said that you had an immortal encounter in your sleep. You should be fooling Father, right? It was all given by that expert.”Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and started to pressure Ying Lan.
If that was the case, Ying Lan's value was not great. To put it bluntly, he was just a tool to pass on messages.
Of course, Ying Zheng had to figure out the relationship between Ying Lan and the Bloody Butcher first.
"Father, what do you think?" Ying Lan did not panic at all.
Damn it, you're still accusing me of deceiving the emperor? Are you trying to force me to rebel?
Over the past year, Ying Lan had checked in through the system and kept accumulating her strength in order to deal with the future chaotic times.
He didn't fight for it, he just wanted to live a wretched life and develop. But if Ying Zheng were to set a crime that might even endanger his and his mother's lives, Ying Lan would have no choice but to rebel!
Ying Zheng frowned. It seemed that this kid was very close to the Bloody Butcher. If he wanted to rebel, the Bloody Butcher would support him, and Great Qin would be in a precarious situation.
"Imperial Father, take a guess. You owe this expert a debt of gratitude, so he's been protecting you. Don't tell me you've acknowledged a foster father? It's fine, it's fine. Imperial Father doesn't blame you.”
At this moment, Ying Zheng had a sense of propriety when he spoke. For an otherworldly expert like Bloody Butcher, the owner of the Great Xia Dragonfinch, who was ranked first on the Divine Weapon Rankings, he definitely did not lack anything.
However, he wasn't interested at all. Perhaps he had taken a fancy to Ying Lan's character. Even if Ying Lan was just a messenger, he was still a valuable tool!
Ying Lan snapped her fingers.
"Smart. As expected of Imperial Father."
This was hilarious. With this IQ of Master Zheng, how was he any different from the melodramatic screenwriters of the future?
A melodramatic screenwriter? Future generations?
Ying Zheng didn't understand, but he felt that he had been humiliated, yet he couldn't find any evidence.
