Chapter 1854: Chapter 1851: Decisiveness
“Minister Xiao, why are you here?” Usually, Xiao Tianhao rarely waits so directly outside the Imperial Study.
After all, he is a secret guard, one of the trusted aides beside Emperor Xuanming. Without important matters, he mustn’t appear openly.
But Xiao Tianhao had no choice, as he had waited for a long time without getting a response from Emperor Xuanming. This was abnormal, so he had to show himself.
Seeing He Dequan ing over, Xiao Tianhao was somewhat surprised: “Eunuch He, what are you doing here? Where is the Emperor?”
“As for the Emperor’s whereabouts, I dare not disclose.” He Dequan, although having a fairly good relationship with Xiao Tianhao, dared not make mistakes in matters of principle.
“Then, Eunuch, please report to the Emperor that there is an important matter to disclose,” Xiao Tianhao said with a smile.
Not daring to reveal a single bit.
He Dequan pointed to the air in front of him: “Minister Xiao, you are too clever, always probing for news with words.”
“But this time, it’s not from me, Minister Xiao guessed it himself.” After saying this, He Dequan stepped into the Imperial Study.
Xiao Tianhao looked up at the sky, the scorching sun made his skin feel somewhat burning.
In his heart, he pondered that if the Emperor was in the Imperial Study at this moment, then surely there was no trouble.
But after waiting for a while, He Dequan still hadn’t e out of the Imperial Study, and Xiao Tianhao wasn’t so assured.
As he hesitated whether to force his way in.
Suddenly, he saw the imperial presence appear nearby.
Emperor Xuanming was seated on the Dragon Sedan, approaching slowly.
Xiao Tianhao quickly knelt to salute: “Greetings, Emperor.”
“mander Xiao, why have you e?” Emperor Xuanming narrowed his slanted eyes, raised his eyebrows and asked, exuding authority without anger.
Xiao Tianhao replied calmly: “Your majesty, there is an urgent matter to report.”
“If so, e in then.”
“Yes.”
Emperor Xuanming stepped down from the sedan and entered the Imperial Study, dressed in casual clothes.
Seeing Emperor Xuanming enter from outside, He Dequan also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
As he passed by Xiao Tianhao, the two exchanged a look.
He Dequan quickly served tea, and Emperor Xuanming waved his hand, soon leaving only Xiao Tianhao in the entire Imperial Study.
Xiao Tianhao knelt and reported the matter.
After hearing it, Emperor Xuanming laughed: “Seems it’s not a good thing.”
“Your majesty, I will definitely find the Gu insect quickly.” Xiao Tianhao knew, without the Gu insect, with Bai Yao in the palace, she would still be able to cause trouble.
Emperor Xuanming sneered: “Since there is this audacity, do not hold back, just bring Bai Yao down for interrogation.”
Seeing him say this, Xiao Tianhao couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed the Emperor hadn’t yet been harmed by the Gu insect. As long as Bai Yao and Bai Lan were controlled, the Southern Border, even if unwilling, must send someone to resolve this issue, otherwise the two Saintesses would certainly be caught in the capital.
“I will go now.” With clarity in his mind, Xiao Tianhao rose and left.
After Xiao Tianhao left, Emperor Xuanming directly passed orders in the Imperial Study, requesting peace and reassurance for every master in the palace.
By the time Xiao Tianhao returned, it was already past noon.
His stomach growled with hunger, seeing the sumptuous food in front of Chu Heng, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva: “Lord Chu, is this sent from the residence again?”
“Even inside the big prison, the aroma of these dishes can’t be masked.” Xiao Tianhao thick-skinnedly sat down, “Lord Chu, let me share this meal.”
“How are things in the palace?” Chu Heng didn’t agree but also didn’t stop him from serving himself rice and dishes.
