The Human Emperor (1-200)

C122: Recruiting Experts!

“Wang Chong, if you really are able to do what you just said, I will concede to you!”

“It would already a great blessing if Consort Taizhen doesn’t hate us, how could she possibly help us?”

“Hehe, Wang Chong, if you’re able to do it, I will promise you anything you want. Regardless of what it is, as long as it is within my means, I will definitely fulfill your wish!”

…

The trio stared at Wang Chong in disbelief. It was clear to them that this matter was completely out of question. How could Wang Chong even think of getting one’s enemy to speak up for one? King Song had seen all kinds of people in the royal court; there were many people who begged their enemies for forgiveness, but to beg one’s enemy to help one on top of it… He hadn’t seen such a matter before.

Even the Yao Clan, which was famous for their ploys, wouldn’t dare to say such words.

To say such immature words, Wang Chong was indeed still too young.

“Hehe!”

Wang Chong smiled. He could clearly see the expression of the trio, and without a doubt, they didn’t think well of this matter. Even Lu Ting, who bore the most goodwill and trust toward him, thought that this matter was impossible to be realized.

Wang Chong didn’t bother trying to change their mind. In the end, actions speak louder than words.

“Hehe, Your Highness, there’s nothing in the world that can be guaranteed so I can’t assure you that I will succeed. However, if Your Highness doesn’t mind, I can give it a try. Just that, I will require Your Highness’s full assistance for this matter.”

Wang Chong said.

“No problem! Feel free to do as you like. If you have anything you need, feel free to tell me or Lord Lu, I will devote all of my resources to assisting you!”

King Song smiled casually. Clearly, he didn’t believe Wang Chong would succeed, and that was also the reason why he didn’t feel any burden allowing Wang Chong to do as he pleased on this matter.

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Wang Chong bowed. He really couldn’t hold back on this matter. If he wanted to achieve his goals, King Song’s help was necessary.

Leaving King Song’s residence, Wang Chong sat in his carriage, deep in contemplation. Even though he had confidently promised King Song on this matter, he knew that it would be, by no means, easy.

Spilled water couldn’t be taken back, and words were the same. Given how intense King Song’s opposition was from before, it was impossible to induce Consort Taizhen to feel any goodwill and change her attitude toward him all of the sudden!

But there was nothing that could be said for sure in this world.

Seated in the carriage, Wang Chong’s thoughts flew around the place. He recalled several matters he heard on Consort Taizhen.

In this era, everyone was filled with contempt for Consort Taizhen. They slandered and insulted her, and as such, the understanding of the populace of her only stopped at ‘a mere woman’, ‘a disaster to the country and populace’, and such derogatory terms.

No one knew of the truth.

Only Wang Chong knew that this woman wasn’t someone that descriptions like ‘Princess Consort Shou’ or ‘a mere woman’ could encompass.

Regardless of which time-space continuum it was, this woman was well-known for her beauty. Despite the several millennium of history of the Central Plains, she still managed to leave a mark in history through her beauty. This goes to show how breathtaking her appearance was!
