Chapter 1128: Chapter 1128: Appointing You as Head of the Imperial Guards

"Emperor, I..."

Before Prince Li Zheng could finish speaking, he was struck hard in the face by Long Xiyuan’s fist.

Perhaps Prince Li Zheng never thought that the always obedient Empress would accuse him at this moment.

Nor did he expect that the Emperor would personally strike him.

Prince Li Zheng was knocked to the ground by Long Xiyuan’s punch, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Fu Xiru was stunned.

Long Xiyuan protected her and pointed at Prince Li Zheng, angrily rebuking, "The Empress is the mother of the nation. You hit her, do you wish to live no longer?"

"Guards, Prince Li Zheng shows no regard for rank. Imprison him, and when my anger subsides, then we will talk about releasing him!"

Having said that, Long Xiyuan flung his sleeves.

None of the Imperial Guard dared to move.

Because, this was Prince Li Zheng, whose power spread across most of the court!

Bai Zhi’er knew that most of the Imperial Guard were from official families.

Their families all had close ties with Prince Li Zheng.

And at this point in the dream, Prince Li Zheng’s power had yet to weaken.

So no one dared to offend him.

Thus arose the situation where the Emperor gave an order, yet the Imperial Guard hesitated.

However, at this moment, a pair of long legs stepped forward.

Feng Fuce seized Prince Li Zheng, binding his hands and feet, and tossed him out without leaving him any dignity.

Then, Feng Fuce cast a glance at Bai Zhi’er, indicating that she should rest assured.

Long Xiyuan was filled with rage.

"Did none of you hear what I just said? Are you deaf? Fine then, since you’re all useless, I hereby appoint A Ce as Commander of the Imperial Guard, to serve by my side starting today!"

Everyone present was shocked.

Bai Zhi’er blinked in surprise.

Brother Ce executed an order and suddenly became the commander of the Imperial Army?

Feng Fuce turned his head slightly, his eyes showing a calm examination.

He appeared unexcited.

After all, being the Commander of the Imperial Guard was far too small a position for him.

In Great Chu, he was a Marquis.

After Long Xiyuan finished speaking, Empress Fu Xiru immediately said, "I support the Emperor’s decision."

The couple exchanged a glance, and Long Xiyuan tightly held the Empress’s hand.

At this moment, the two, who had many misunderstandings and differences, finally stood by each other’s side, facing the trials ahead.

Bai Zhi’er was sincerely happy for them.

After Prince Li Zheng was taken away, everyone left Changle Hall, offering the Emperor and Empress a chance to speak alone.

Bai Zhi’er waited at the door; she sat under the porch, swinging her legs.

When Feng Fuce returned, he saw his Little Demon Pet basking in the sunlight, looking very happy.

He walked to her side, gently sat down, and turned his head, his dark eyes focused on her.

"Captured Prince Li Zheng, and you’re this happy?"

"Of course!" Bai Zhi’er proudly nodded and shook her head.

She blinked at Feng Fuce: "Moreover, I can feel that the Empress’s obsession is about to be completed!"

Saying this, Bai Zhi’er breathed a sigh of relief.

Her voice was a bit lonely but didn’t forget to comfort herself.

"Though I know she passed away a long time ago, what’s alive in the past is just a trapped soul of hers."

"But if she can truly let go of her worries, be happy and reincarnate, perhaps it would be a kind of liberation and a good thing."

Seeing her like this, Feng Fuce gently put his arm around her shoulder.

The two of them gazed at the brilliant sun together, as a few golden leaves rustled and fell from the ginkgo tree in the courtyard.

Bai Zhi’er heard Feng Fuce’s serious voice say, "I will always be with you, to fulfill all the completeness you desire."
