The corner of An Liang's mouth lifted in a smile as much as possible as he tried to suppress the tears that were welling up in his eyes. "An Liang knows his wrongs!"

At this moment, she couldn't say why or explain anything. She could only admit her wrongs, or else the consequences would be unimaginably serious.

"Good girl!" He grabbed her chin and flung her to the side.

With a smile, he looked at Tuoba Yu, who was sitting on the couch and staring at him with his eyes wide open.

"Lan Mei belongs to Young Master and it is a beautiful thing for her to return to her rightful owner. The silver taels on the table were given to you at that time. It is not right to disturb Young Master's mood. This pot of peach blossom wine is an apology." "Farewell!"

After he finished, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Halt!" Tuoba Yu coldly smiled and stood up from the couch. "Why are you in such a hurry?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another group of people rushed in and surrounded them.

Tuoba Rui and the others who had been hiding inside the screen all this time also walked out and stood beside him.

When An Liang saw that he was a bit stunned, he reflexively stood in front of Tuoba Yu and stared at him warily. "What do you mean by that?"

Tuoba Yu directly ignored him. His phoenix eyes shifted and landed on the man she was protecting behind him. With a light voice, he said, "It's only been a few years since we last met, and now you pretend you don't know me? Don't you find it inappropriate?!"

"Young master, if you look closely, it does somewhat resemble an old friend of mine."

"Alright, Lian Huang, you've left for three years. The moment you returned, you robbed the neighboring envoys to give to the empress dowager as a congratulatory gift. Isn't your purpose not to lure us out?!" Tuoba Rui raised an eyebrow and spoke calmly. There was a hint of joy in his reunion with his old friend.

"Who said that I was trying to lure you out? I just felt it to be especially exciting. In the entire world, only I, Tuoba Rui, would dare to rob the empress dowager of her wedding gift. I'll have a lot of face if word of this spreads!"

"…" Tuoba Rui was speechless.

"Since you think it's so exciting, I'll give you another one."

Suddenly, his figure flashed, and before anyone could blink, he had already grabbed hold of him with one leg on top of his body. He looked down on Tuoba as he coldly said, "Someone, lock him in the prison and tie him up with darksteel!"

A trace of regret flashed across Lian Hui's face. Immediately, he laughed without a care. "Do you really think that you can lock me down?!"

As he said that, he pushed himself up with both hands, but as he stood up, both his legs went limp and he fell to his knees.

Only now did he feel that something wasn't right, and he couldn't move his legs anymore. He immediately understood what was going on and stared angrily at Tuoba Yu. However, a smile spread across his face as he said, "What did this grandpa do to me?"

Tuoba Yu raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you say that I couldn't lock you down? This grandpa has been pondering for a long time, and I've finally thought of it. " He chuckled, "So I asked Lan Jun." He looked into his eyes and enunciated every word, "Dissolving Bone Powder!"

He stood up. "Listen to this lord and obediently stay in the prison. Once the empress dowager's birthday is over, this lord will let you out." "I need to remind you not to do anything with your inner force, or else …" With a twist of his tongue, he said, "You will never be able to stand up!"

He was like an ant in his hands right now. If he wanted to live, he could live a bit longer. If he wanted to die, he only needed to pinch his fingers.

Since young, it has always been so!

The smile on her face finally faded as her gaze turned sinister. "Does this old demoness think that by locking me up, that old demoness will be able to pass her birthday in the palace?" "Let me tell you, as long as I keep my mouth shut for a day, she shouldn't even think about it!"

The hatred in his voice made Tuoba Yu furrow his brows and say impatiently, "Take him away!"

"Yes sir!"

"Yes," a few dark guards in plain clothes answered and walked over dragging their feet.

He pursed his lips, but didn't beg for mercy. His eyes were bloodshot.

When his figure disappeared from the room, Tuoba Yu turned his gaze towards An Liang and the others, "If you want to be locked up with your master, then I don't mind letting you!"

When the black-clothed people in the room heard this, they looked at each other and retreated.

An Liang bit his lips. With a gloomy expression, he glanced at the bottle of wine on the mahogany table, lowered his head, and walked out.

Tuoba Rui stepped forward and closed the door until the room quieted down once again.

He turned around and looked at Tuoba Yu, "Grandpa, you might be making a fool of yourself by doing this." He paused, "You are stubborn and stubborn. You will never give up when you decide on something just like what you do." He said that he would not let the birthday feast go smoothly, and he must have made other arrangements. "

Tuoba Yu's expression turned heavy as he suddenly asked, "Ninth Brother, if you were so stingy, would you hate me?"

Tuoba Rui was stunned. He looked at the two people behind him, Nan Jue and Zhen Lei.

Shaking his head, he continued, "Lian Huang doesn't hate me. He hates the empress dowager!"

Lian Jun wasn't surnamed Lian. His real surname was Tuoba.

In the past, his mother's consort and the emperor's mother's consort were originally half-sisters. However, the emperor's mother's consort was born from a concubine, while his mother's consort was born from a concubine.

In addition, his mufei was reserved and didn't speak well, so she wasn't favored by the imperial concubines. Naturally, the empress dowager didn't care for her either, preferring her to the emperor's mufei instead.

However, the late emperor preferred to have a calm and tranquil mother, who was always honorable and pampered.

When the late emperor was still alive, the imperial court was going to be established. Many ministers held themselves in high esteem. Amongst them, the late empress, the Murong family, was the most domineering.

In order to stabilize the imperial court, the late emperor had no choice but to pass the position of crown prince to the son of Empress Murong. Meanwhile, Emperor Xian was extremely apprehensive. But the empress dowager was more interested in the current emperor.

Therefore, they were all secretly competing with each other.

Because of his mother, Lian Huang and the little emperor had a very good relationship due to the fact that they were about the same age.

However, before Emperor Xian passed away, he passed the Tiger Seal that contained a large number of soldiers and horses to Lian Lian Lian's mother for the sake of protecting the lives of the two of them.

At that time, the empress dowager was also a truly capable person. It was unknown what sort of method she used to cause Tuoba Yu, who was still the crown prince, to suddenly suffer an illness. The imperial physician wouldn't live past half a month.

The empress dowager arranged for the ministers to oppose a dying crown prince to ascend to the throne.

The Emperor didn't want to see him as a crown prince, so he took the opportunity to take his position as the crown prince.

Empress Mu Rong's heart was filled with unwillingness, so she asked for her youngest son, Tuoba Sen, to be the crown prince, but was suppressed by the empress dowager. She was denounced as being ungrateful, and was rejected by all her subjects, no matter how impressive she was, she was suppressed by the empress dowager.

When the emperor saw that the position of crown prince had been stripped, he thought that it was reasonable to immediately act as crown prince.

However, he didn't expect the empress dowager to find him and talk to him all night. No one knew what they had said.

On the second day, the Emperor passed away.

And now, the empress dowager had issued a decree, passing it down to the little emperor who was only six years old at the time.

At the moment of passing on the throne, Lianfeng's mother suddenly took the tiger print and walked into the great hall. The usually gentle woman suddenly became sharp, berating the empress dowager for plotting to murder the emperor, falsifying the testamentary edict, and demanding that the officials work together to suppress her and reestablish the ruler.

With a few words, the Empress Dowager turned the tables around and retorted that her superiors had offended her and used an improper method to obtain the Tiger Seal in an attempt to rebel. She was immediately killed in front of the entire imperial court, and at that time, even when she was only six years old, she had witnessed the death of her mother's consort with her own eyes.

At that time, he had learned how to endure until something happened three years ago that completely broke his relationship with the empress dowager and made him speak harshly of how he would not let her off so long as he lived.

Then he left the palace, and this was the first time they had met since he had left.

He was still thinking about it when someone grabbed his arm.

Tuoba Rui was shocked and hurriedly looked over.

He noticed that the little emperor, who was dressed in elegant white clothes, was breathing heavily and his face was flushed red. His forehead was covered in plump beads of sweat. He was immediately startled. "Your grandpa …"
