Shen Yi Di Nu, Divine Doctor: Daughter Of The First Wife

472

An Unreasonable Old Man

Seeing Wang Zhuo’s dumbfounded expression, Xuan Tian Ming snorted and said: “He’s not dreaming, and he’s not eating. It seems that he’s singing.” After saying this, he reached out and pushed the door open before walking in on his own.

Wang Zhuo followed him in. Not a few steps later, he heard the Emperor’s broken singing voice, singing: “Elder brother snapped some willow twigs for younger sister, and younger sister made a basket to gather mushrooms. Elder brother caught some fish and gave them to younger sister, and younger sister raised them next to the stream.”

Wang Zhuo was confused. What exactly was going on? There was chaos outside, yet the inside of the palace had people ordering pigeon soup and singing plays. Had they all gone insane?

Of course, he only dared to wonder this to himself. He did not dare to say it. Looking again at Xuan Tian Ming, this ninth prince did not have any particular reaction. It was as though everything that was happening before him was very normal. He then turned around and said to him: “Since the imperial palace is fine, go lead the people outside to catch Bu Cong and his heavily armored soldiers. Catch all that you can. If you can’t catch them, just beat them to death. Hand down the order to Bai Ze to immediately send a notice to the military camp. Have Qian Li lead a group to assault the remnants of the Northern forces. Don’t leave a single one alive.”

Wang Zhuo finally let out a sigh of relief. Right now, he would rather leave the palace to fight a battle than continue to experience the weird atmosphere of the imperial palace! Thus he quickly complied and said: “This subordinate obeys!”

This reply was a little too loud and shocked the Emperor. The song came to an end, and he exploded with anger, “Who is it that came to cause a disturbance?”

Wang Zhuo trembled and dropped to his knees: “This official Wang Zhuo, captain of the city gate guards, greets your Majesty!”

The Emperor hastily walked out from the inner hall of Zhao He Hall. It was clear that he was a little annoyed. He did not ask Xuan Tian Ming and Wang Zhuo why they had come into the palace this late into the night. He just began to discuss with Xuan Tian Ming: “Could you not have gone over to Heavenly Hall? Heavenly Hall has a throne. You just need to sit on that throne and give orders as you please. You can give whatever order you want. We will have little Yuan bring over the imperial jade seal. If you feel that your ability to speak is a little lacking, just have someone plan the decree. After it’s been written, you just need to place a stamp on it. How about it? Don’t cause any trouble here. We are busy.”

Wang Zhuo was about to collapse from hearing this; however, Xuan Tian Ming was already accustomed to this, but he was truly angry this time. Not even the golden mask could cover the anger. The anger in his body surged forth and caused the Emperor to retreat a couple steps subconsciously.

“Ming… Ming’er.” The Emperor was a little lacking in confidence, “Who angered you? Speak! Your father Emperor will support you. Is it old third? Old third or old fourth? Or is it old third working with old fourth? Just arrest all of them. How about having your wife go and beat the two to death! Hah, as I said last time, your wife beat old third too lightly. In truth, there was no need to give Us any face. We have not wanted that bastard for a long time. She…”

“She is still outside the city!” Xuan Tian Ming suddenly raised his voice and shouted at the Emperor: “Heng Heng and seventh brother were tricked into leaving the city by Duan Mu Qing, and neither has returned yet!” He angrily clenched his fists, his knuckles popping. Although he knew that Feng Yu Heng had a space that she could dodge into, what if she did not evade in time? What if something went wrong with her space at a critical moment? He did not dare place Feng Yu Heng’s life in any danger. The Emperor and the palace’s lack of care had angered him.
