“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Lu Zihao bowed and retreated, showing no joy or pride at being appointed as the head of the cabinet.
Yu Jian stepped forward again and said, “Grandfather, I have another matter to report.”
“Speak!”
“Grandfather’s birthday is approaching, and I wish to personally go to the Tianen Temple, to pray for your long life. To show my sincerity, I will pray for three days, observing a vegetarian diet and reciting scriptures. Please grant me permission, Grandfather!”
All the civil and military officials were stunned by Yu Jian’s words. They all recalled five years ago when the Crown Prince and Crown Princess went to pray for the Emperor, only to be robbed and killed on the way.
Murong Cang fell silent!
“Grandfather, please allow me this act of filial piety!” Yu Jian knelt in the hall.
Yun Qianyu echoed, “Grandpa, Qianyu will go with Yujian. Please grant us this act of filial piety!”
Murong Cang sighed upon seeing this, “Alright, since it’s for praying for blessings, all the children of the Qin family should go and join in the fun! For those with elderly relatives, going to pray for blessings is also a form of filial piety.”
“Your Majesty, we obey!”
The civil and military officials couldn’t fathom the Emperor’s thoughts. Wasn’t the Emperor afraid that the Crown Prince would perish again on the way to Tianen Temple? However, they had all made up their minds to go home and tell their children to stay away from the Crown Prince, lest they be implicated.
“Has Yujian decided on a date to go?” Murong Cang asked.
“To pray for Grandpa’s blessings, of course, the sooner the better. How about tomorrow?” Yujian said.
“Tomorrow, it’ll be as Yujian wishes.”
“Thank you, Grandpa!”
The morning court session ended, and the civil and military officials left the court in a daze. They couldn’t understand why, hadn’t someone already lost Wusha? Why were they dragging their children into it as well? It seemed the winds of change were about to blow in the court.
As soon as Rui Wang returned to the palace, he smashed everything in his study! One wrong step led to another, and he lost another person.
At this moment, the man in black robes reappeared in the study.
“What, Your Highness can’t even handle this little setback?”
“That brat Murong Yujian, I didn’t expect him to be so impressive after only three days.” Rui Wang said viciously.
“A ten-year-old child, even his father wasn’t a match for you, what, Your Highness is afraid of a child?”
“Afraid of him? What a joke, this time I’ll make sure he doesn’t return!” A wicked smile curled at the corner of Rui Wang’s mouth.
“That’s why I came.”
“Is there something wrong with it?”
“Of course, the Princess Protector is coming along. Have you forgotten her identity?”
“Isn’t she the Valley Master of Yun Valley?”
“The Valley Master of Yun Valley is accompanied by Yunwei. Your Highness knows how powerful the Yunwei are, doesn’t she?”
“You mean…? “
“The method used on his father won’t work.”
“Then what should we do?”
“This is a deadly poison.” Two medicine bottles appeared in the black-robed man’s hand.
Rui Wang looked at the medicine bottles and said, “The Valley Master of Yun Valley is a master of poisons, and her Yunwei leader, Feng Ran, is said to be a master of poisons as well. Do we have a chance to poison her?”
“Your Highness doesn’t know that poisons come in different types. They don’t even have time to find an antidote for this kind of poison. Besides, this poison doesn’t need to be ingested; it’s not poisonous on its own. Just put the poison on someone’s clothes, and then have those two people come into contact with Murong Yujian one after the other. He’ll be poisoned without anyone noticing. Isn’t that much easier than using knives and spears?”
