Chapter 808: Chapter 486: Matters on the Road (Part 2)
“Cough, cough…”
“Rong’er, why are you coughing? Are you not feeling well?”
“Ah, it’s nothing, it’s nothing. Oh, we’re almost there. Let’s prepare; we’ll soon see the Empress Dowager and the young Emperor.”
“Oh, alright.”
Currently, Zhao Rong is going to et with the Du Gu clan, who just sent soone to call Zhao Rong over, though it’s unclear what it’s about.
However, little Qian’er hurriedly joined in, leaving Su Qingdai and Li Bai behind in the carriage.
Zhao Rong led little Qian’er to the emperor’s traveling quarters.
This was the largest carriage in the current procession, pulled by over ten Dragon Colts.
Majestic and grand, the purple jade and bright yellow dignified curtains hung deep, surrounded by a multitude of Xue Can and other Crescent Moon Li maidens, along with formidable guards protecting it.
This ti, they were going to Sacrificial Moon Mountain.
Half of Hanjing was practically vacated, and the Moon Pavilion was all but emptied.
Du Gu clan brought out a large group of Crescent Moon Li maidens, leaving only the Chief Musician Mu Jin and so confidants in Hanjing to manage things.
Even the Imperial Family, including Li Mingyi, was almost entirely brought out, except for a few elder princes who couldn’t endure the journey.
The civil and military officials of Li Court were the sa way, only leaving the blood-old ministers behind in Hanjing.
Zhao Rong understood this quite well; if he were Du Gu clan, he would also prevent certain occurrences…
At this mont, it seed Du Gu clan and the young Emperor were summoning ministers inside the traveling quarters, and as they finished, Xue Can and other Crescent Moon Li maidens lifted the curtains, and out ca Li Mingyi and a few strangers.
“Mr. Zhao.”
A dignified man in a Python Robe showed a slight smile and greeted.
Zhao Rong nodded, glancing aside at the two strangers coming out with Li Mingyi.
Their attire seed sowhat unlike those from Li Territory.
“These are envoys from a neighboring country… from the west.”
Li Mingyi briefly explained, not saying much, exchanging a few greetings with Zhao Rong before quickly leaving with the two foreign envoys.
“Neighboring country, the west…”
Zhao Rong turned to watch their departing backs and muttered.
“It’s likely unrelated to the imperial rituals, probably their own national affairs…”
Mulling it over, he shook his head, not focusing anymore and turned back.
“Please announce, Zhao Ziyu is here at Her Ladyship’s invitation.”
Xue Can gave the young Confucian Scholar a glance, lifted the curtains, allowing Zhao Rong and Zhao Qian’er inside…
Zhao Rong initially thought Du Gu clan called him over for so important matter.
However, after entering and spending rely a mont, he heard that beautiful widow behind the upper curtains say a lot of things:
So were concerning Mr. Zhao’s well-being, others were like casual conversations about the forr Emperor of Great Li, and even bits about the process of the young Emperor ascending as Crown Prince…
It seed to lack a central the, but Zhao Rong was no fool; he soon realized Du Gu clan seed to be concerned about the Academy’s historical records.
Much of what was said essentially emphasized two points.
As the founder of the Great Li Dynasty, the forr Emperor of Great Li’s uprising in the riverbank eastern part was rightful.
And the young Emperor, as the Crown Prince personally appointed by the forr, was fit for the grand rule, deserving of his throne as bona fide legitimate…
Zhao Rong listened sowhat speechlessly.
However, due to certain considerations, he didn’t reveal that he was not actually involved in historical record keeping.
Thus, under watchful eyes, the dignified Empress Dowager on the front of the Dragon Colt carriage with the young Emperor, began conversing with the young Confucian Scholar quietly standing below.
The monarch and ministers exchanged questions and answers.
Zhao Rong was quite patient, adeptly responding while observing the people around.
His eyes t with the serious young Emperor sitting upright above.
The latter seed eager to talk with him, but with his mother present, found it difficult to engage.
The young one looked at Zhao Rong with a bit of gratitude, probably for the plea on his behalf days ago.
Not long after, Zhao Rong excused himself.

A young Confucian Scholar who loves sharing knowledge couldn’t help but clench a fist to his mouth.
“Cough, cough…”
“Rong’er, why are you coughing? Are you not feeling well?”
“Ah, it’s nothing, it’s nothing. Oh, we’re almost there. Let’s prepare; we’ll soon see the Empress Dowager and the young Emperor.”
“Oh, alright.”
Right now, Zhao Rong is going to find Du Gu Shi, the latter just sent soone to call Zhao Rong over, not knowing what the matter is.
However, little Qian’er insisted on following and left Su Qingdai and Li Bai in the carriage behind.
Zhao Rong brought little Qian’er to the front of the Emperor’s lodging.
This is currently the largest chariot in the procession, drawn by more than a dozen Dragon Colts.
Tall and magnificent, the deep purple and bright yellow majestic curtains hung low, surrounded by Xue Can and many crescent moon Li won, as well as mighty guards protecting it.
This ti heading to the Sacrificial Moon Mountain.
Hanjing is almost half-empty, the Moon Pavilion too is so, a young Confucian Scholar who enjoys spreading knowledge couldn’t help but clench his fist and cover his mouth.
“Cough cough…”
“Rong’er brother, why are you coughing? Are you feeling unwell?”
“Ah, it’s nothing, it’s nothing. Oh, we’re almost there, let’s get ready, we’ll soon see the Empress Dowager and the young Emperor with the imperial chariot.”
