The hall was originally quiet, but suddenly there was a sound. The Emperor sitting on the Dragon Throne imdiately lifted his head, his sharp eyes fiercely sweeping towards the source of the sound. He thought there might be so fearless eunuch disturbing him, but upon seeing Celestial Master Zhang, his stern aura withdrew.
"Master, why are you joining the commotion at this ti?" The Emperor’s tone was still filled with anger.
"Your Majesty, who made you angry so early in the morning?" Looking at the ss on the ground, Celestial Master Zhang could imagine the scene of the Emperor raging just now. No wonder the always dignified Eunuch Li was scared like that.
Upon ntioning the matter, the Emperor flared up again, slapping the table fiercely with his hand: "Under the heavens, who else can anger ?"
Celestial Master Zhang imdiately understood; he was the Emperor’s confidant and knew the Emperor’s mind best. In the whole of Moli Country, the Emperor’s significant worry, besides the War Prince, there was no second person.
However, in these days, the War Prince was gravely ill, causing the entire Moli Country to tremble—Shouldn’t the Emperor be happy? Why is he so angry now?
"Could it be the War Prince?" His tone was full of doubt, for considering the War Prince was gravely ill, how could he anger the Emperor? Celestial Master Zhang was sowhat uncertain.
"Who else but him?" The Emperor retorted angrily.
"But isn’t the Prince gravely ill?" To his knowledge, the War Prince’s grave illness was connected to the Emperor, rumored to be Zhao Yin’s doing.
This Zhao Yin, reliant on his knowledge of Gu technique, behaves arrogantly in the palace, not even bothering to greet him, the Heavenly Master.
Every ti he sees him, Zhao Yin fails to perform the ceremony.
Celestial Master Zhang is very disgusted with him, not only for stealing his glory before the Emperor, but also because he always feels a sinister aura from Zhao Yin and can sll the scent of death within half a shichen of being with him, leaving him in a very poor mood, feeling downright low.
"He should be gotten rid of, let him die quickly, yet he still has such big ambitions." The Emperor inadvertently said sothing incomprehensible to Celestial Master Zhang.
"Your Majesty, what exactly has made you so angry?"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor turned towards Celestial Master Zhang, speaking solemnly: "Didn’t you hear about yesterday’s events?"
"Yesterday?" Celestial Master Zhang tilted his head thoughtfully: "The biggest event in the Capital yesterday was the marriage alliance between the War Prince’s Mansion and General’s Mansion, could the Emperor be angry because of this?"
"Indeed."
The Emperor, face full of indignation: "I deployed so many people to monitor him, but are they all useless? They didn’t send back word, and only managed to communicate the news to the palace this morning; it’s infuriating." Finished speaking, he slapped the table fiercely again, indicating the extent of his rage.
If he had known earlier about the alliance between the War Prince’s Mansion and General’s Mansion, he would definitely have prevented it.
After all, the joining of these two families poses a great threat to the Royal Family and his supre authority as Emperor.
Imagine, the War Prince already wields power over the empire, most of Moli Country’s military power lies in his hands, the General’s Mansion holds a small part, and the remaining small part is the Royal Family’s Imperial Guards, specifically to protect the Imperial Palace. If united with General Situ’s army, they could contend with the War Prince a bit; however, now, damn it, they’ve suddenly joined forces, no wonder the Emperor is anxious and fuming!
Watching the anxious Emperor, Celestial Master Zhang appeared calm: "No need for the Emperor to worry; there’s still room for maneuver in this matter."
"What room is there? They will be married in two days, is there still room for maneuver?"
