The Human Emperor (1-200)

C120: Second Persuasion to King Song

“He’s finally here. He came earlier than I expected!”

Hearing Shen Hai and Meng Long’s report, Wang Chong’s eyes lit up. A gleam flashed through his eyes as he calmed his cultivation and walked out of the courtyard.

Even though Lu Ting didn’t state the matter he was here for, Wang Chong knew it was definitely regarding the Consort Taizhen incident. He hadn’t paid much attention to the royal court, but he knew from the rumors that the Sage Emperor had prevented King Song from attending the morning assembly for several days already.

Wang Chong thought that it would at least take a dozen more days before King Song would wake up, so he was caught by surprise by the other party’s arrival.

Wang Chong met Lu Ting in the lounge of the Wang Family Residence.

Lu Ting was seated by the tea table. Holding a porcelain teacup in his hand, he seemed to have waited for quite awhile. Upon seeing Wang Chong, his eyes immediately glowed in agitation.

The fifteen-year-old Wang Chong was dressed in a grayish training slacks fastened casually by a piece of fabric at his waist. Accompanied with his pitch black hair, crescent brows, and bright eyes, he looked dashing.

Lu Ting had never noticed in the past, but Wang Chong seemed to exude composure and confidence that was absent in those of his age.

Everything that he did seemed to have a motive behind it. Regardless of whether it was the incident at the Vast Crane Pavilion or the words he left them at the Four Quarters Embassy, his deeds had already made it impossible for one to view him as an ordinary child.

In fact, there were times when Lu Ting unwittingly thought of him as a fellow peer.

This was something completely unimaginable to the Lu Ting of the past.

“Lu Ting greets gongzi!”

Lu Ting abruptly stood up and bowed deeply.

“Lord Lu, there’s no need for formalities. I am unworthy of your bow!”

Wang Chong smiled.

Wang Chong found Lu Ting an extremely interesting person. He thought that he had hidden his deeds at the Vast Crane Pavilion well, but it seemed that the other party had already seen through his ploy right from the very start.

Wang Chong even dared to bet that Lu Ting had played a huge role in convincing King Song on the Consort Taizhen incident.

“Hehe, gongzi is indeed a formidable person. To think that you would be able to guess the matter regarding the Consort Taizhen incident accurately! You are definitely worthy of this bow!”

Lu Ting couldn’t help but chuckle.

It was just a moment ago that he thought Wang Chong was mature like an adult when Wang Chong asked the obvious, as though a child.

“What do you mean? I don’t recall saying anything?”

Wang Chong feigned ignorance.

“Hehe! At Four Quarters Embassy, wasn’t gongzi trying to persuade King Song to not oppose Consort Taizhen?”

Arching his back, Lu Ting went along with Wang Chong and asked.

“Lord Lu, you must have remembered wrongly. I don’t recall persuading King Song before. I only advised King Song to visit King Shou so that they could rekindle their relationship.”

The smile on Wang Chong’s face deepened.

“Gongzi, please don’t jest with me. I admit that the matter then was my fault, alright? If you have any opinions, feel free to speak. I will do my best to advise King Song! …”
