Chapter 1951: Yao Chong’s Request!
Translated by: Hypersheep325

Most important to Wang Chong was that he was sure Yao Chong had not requested today’s meeting simply to submit himself. Anyone who underestimated Old Master Yao was certain to pay a bitter price.

“Not bad, not bad! Humble in victory and gracious in defeat! If my Yao Clan had such a descendant, Yao Chong could die without fear rather than dragging out his final breath.”

Yao Chong was filled with emotions by this sight. Seeing Wang Chong frown, Yao Chong said no more and pointed at his side as he sat back down.

“Your Highness, please.”

Wang Chong thought it over, and then raised his robe and seated himself next to Yao Chong.

Old Master Yao was a brilliant schemer, and every expression of emotion or act was a part of his repertoire. But at this moment, Wang Chong had his litany of titles and the Imperial Dragon Bracelet, so he did not fear any tricks from Old Master Yao.

“For what reason has Minister Yao requested Wang Chong’s presence?”

Wang Chong got straight to the point.

“Heheh, the incident in the Eastern Palace, the Sage Emperor’s desire to construct the Peace Pavilion, his absence from court for seven days in a row, his request for the provinces to offer talented women—Your Highness came to Four Quarters Embassy to ask about these things, yes?”

Old Master Yao was not angered by this rudeness and smiled as he spoke.

“Yes!”

Wang Chong did not deny it, as there was no need to.

Old Master Yao smiled. In no rush, he gestured, and a maid came forward and served fragrant tea. He did not mind when he saw that Wang Chong had no intention of touching the tea. Taking up his own cup, he lightly blew on the froth before continuing to speak.

“How much did your grandfather say? Did he tell you, or did he not?”

He placed slight emphasis on his last words, seeming to imply something.

“Why must Minister Yao ask questions for which he already knows the answer?” Wang Chong shot back.

Yao Chong had always been known as a sly fox. He was both intelligent and perceptive.

Wang Chong did not believe that he didn’t know.

If that were really the case, he would not have sent someone to wait by the road for him.

“Heh, if that’s what you’re saying, this old man guessed right. Even when confronted by his own grandson, Wang Bowu still decided to remain silent.”

Yao Chong shook his head and chuckled, apparently unsurprised.

Wang Chong slightly frowned, but he said nothing.

“Minister Yao knows?”

“Heh, only some conjectures.”

Yao Chong smiled, not avoiding the topic.

“Heheh, it’s been a very long time, but I did not expect those matters to resurface. Since Eunuch Gao will not speak and your grandfather also remains silent, I cannot tell you too much. However, unlike the others, I do want to tell you, but I do not know the truth.
