After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 336 Regret

The State of Dongqi is the country most similar to Dasheng, with similar customs and other aspects.

However, compared to Da Sheng, their Dong Qi national strength is slightly weaker.

That is why they paid tribute to Da Sheng every year.

The two soon arrived at the Dongqi Palace, but in such a huge palace, there were very few places with bright lights, making it look dead silent.

"Is this the Dongqi Palace?"

Yu Tingwan frowned. How could it be even more gloomy than the captured Beidi Palace? Even the timid ones would not dare to go out!

Shen Chenli gave a positive answer, "It is indeed the Dongqi Palace, but it seems that the person in power here is not a good person."

Otherwise the palace wouldn't look like this.

"Let's go to the Emperor's bedroom."

Yu Tingwan responded, and the two of them quickly came to the bedroom, but did not leave immediately.

After looking around carefully, Shen Chenli pointed to a few places and said:

"A dragnet has been set up here, just waiting for us!"

Hearing this, Yu Tingwan looked at the area and it was indeed a dragnet. Perhaps half of the guards in the palace were deployed here.

But this made Yu Tingwan quite curious, is King Dongping still mentally sound?

This is a trap that can be seen at a glance. He thinks that if they didn't have a cheating artifact like space, would they risk coming here?

But now they are standing here, and can enter the emperor's bedroom without anyone noticing. Thinking of how furious Prince Dongping was after his plan failed, Yu Tingwan felt happy.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look!"

After that, the two of them went straight into the bedroom. Surprisingly, the old emperor was the only one in the bedroom, without even a eunuch to serve him!

The two of them observed carefully for a while and found that the old emperor was not lying on the bed dying as An Er said.

On the contrary, the old emperor looks quite energetic, and even when sitting on the bed he still makes people feel his majesty.

Yu Tingwan and Shen Chenli looked at each other, then they appeared in a dark corner and walked slowly into the room.

"Who?"

Suddenly, the old emperor opened his eyes abruptly and asked, looking in the direction of the two with sharp eyes.

Yu Tingwan and Shen Chenli remained unmoved and continued to approach him.

When the two figures appeared in the light, the old emperor, who had been standing still, suddenly stood up and walked towards them with an anxious look on his face.

"You! You are! You are..."

Seeing him so excited, the two seemed to understand something. Shen Chenli stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Dongqi, I am Shen Chenli, the Prince of Dashengchen, and my mother is Lou Shengyue, the Imperial Concubine Duanjin."

After listening to him introduce himself, especially after hearing the name Lou Shengyue, the old emperor excitedly grabbed Shen Chenli's arm and looked at his face with tearful eyes.

At this moment, the old emperor no longer looked like an emperor, but more like an ordinary father who missed his children.

The old emperor looked at him and nodded repeatedly, repeating the words "similar, so similar" over and over again.

"So much like kid, you and your mother are so much alike!"

Afterwards, the old emperor wanted to say something else, but as if he suddenly remembered something, an anxious look appeared on his face.

With trembling hands, he pushed Shen Chenli.

"Hurry up, hurry up, you have been deceived by them, that beast Lou Yichuan set up a trap just to catch you, get out of here now!"

Seeing the anxious look on the old emperor's face, as he kept looking outside, Shen Chenli and the other man looked at each other and nodded imperceptibly.

Shen Chenli reached out and grabbed the old emperor's hand, stopping him from continuing to speak, and while he was stunned he quickly spoke:

"Your Majesty, we know that there is a dragnet outside, but you don't have to worry about us. If we can avoid them from coming in, we will have a way to get out directly."

Yu Tingwan also nodded on the side. This was no big deal. The worst that could happen was to poison all these people to death. Then they would be able to get out directly!

Hearing this, the old emperor looked at the two people and saw that they really didn't care. He breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand and smiled:

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I almost forgot that you are the Prince of Chen and the Princess of Chen, both of you are world-famous figures. How could such a place possibly hold you?"

Then he looked at them helplessly and sighed.

"Tell me, what are you doing here?"

"The King of Dongping wanted us to come here, saying that Your Majesty the Emperor is lying on the bed, dying, and is waiting for me to save you!"

"What nonsense!"

The old emperor was really angry, but the way he puffed his beard and glared looked a bit cute.

But the anger in his heart was not lessened at all. He wanted to say something, but when he looked at Shen Chenli and Yu Tingwan, he hesitated and then just sighed deeply.

"Lou Yichuan is a beast! He is the one who deserves to die the most!"

Hearing this, Yu Tingwan quietly waved to Shen Chenli and slowly retreated to the outer hall.

Although she already knew the truth about certain things, this matter involved the reputation of the royal family, so it was better to stay away from it!

The old emperor tearfully told the story between Shen Chenli's mother and Lou Yichuan, and finally fell into a chair, looking at the expressionless Shen Chenli, his heart even more sad.

"It's my fault. I failed to discover the problem immediately, causing your mother to suffer these humiliations and even be forced to marry far away in the end! Otherwise, if not...how could I bear to let your mother go to such a faraway place and die there!"

The old emperor was most saddened by Lou Shengyue's marriage to a distant place. Her status as the emperor was not even his legal wife, which made him depressed for a long time. Until the news came that Emperor Dasheng treated her well and that she was pregnant, he felt a little comforted.

But unexpectedly, a few years later, he received news that his daughter had passed away. This news was a heavy blow to him!

All of a sudden, the Emperor of Dongqi looked more than ten years older.

As an emperor, how could he not know the twists and turns of the harem? And he raised his daughter to be innocent, how could she not be tricked by those women in the harem?

However, just when he thought this was the biggest blow to him, he didn't expect his son's series of reactions to make him even more devastated!

His own son actually developed feelings for him...that went beyond siblings!

Such a shocking scandal actually happened right under his nose?

In an instant, the scene of Lou Shengyue insisting on marrying a foreign prince a few years ago appeared in his mind. Only then did he finally understand why his daughter wanted to leave the palace and leave the country!

"It was me. I failed to protect her! I didn't realize the beast's intentions at the first time, nor did I notice your mother's abnormality at the first time. This is why things have become irreversible! Your mother never came back until she died!"
