Chapter 781 - the heaven-defying canopy, the power of fate

n

n

n

n“Go wash your hands.”

n

n“Yes.” Xiao ran responded.

n

nAfter washing his hands, he sat on the chair.

n

nXiao Wu and Tian Peng carried the two desserts and ran away.

n

n“These two guys.” Xiao ran scolded him jokingly.

n

n“Quickly eat! If you don’t eat now, the food will get cold and won’t taste good. ” Zi ‘er passed him a pair of chopsticks.

n

nAfter dinner.

n

nXiao ran stood up from his chair.”I’m going to work.”

n

n“Yes.” Zi ‘er touched his forehead.

n

nXiao ran waved his hand and left.

n

nHe left the Vermillion Bird Market and walked towards the divine sword guards.

n

nAt this point.

n

nShen Yiming and the others had been waiting for a long time. When Xiao Zhou saw him, he quickly pulled out a chair for Xiao ran to sit down.

n

nShe placed the teacup in front of him.

n

n“The matter has been decided.”

n

nXiao ran took the teacup, took a sip, and said,”tell me in detail.”

n

n“Today’s morning court session was just as we expected. The court was quarreling like dogs. If it was easy to make a move, they would have already started fighting.” Shen Yiming sighed.

n

n“For the sake of a position, everyone’s faces turned red. Some even rolled up their sleeves and pointed at each other while cursing. It was really exciting, even more exaggerated than a market.”

n

n“And then?” Xiao ran smiled.

n

n“The Eight Immortals crossing the sea each showed their own abilities. Just like us, they had already discussed yesterday which position to take. If they couldn’t take this position, they would take another. After arguing for nearly four hours, the matter was finally settled.”

n

nHe took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

n

n“The positions of the God Slayer sect’s divine Constable and the sacred Martial Arts department’s martial Lord have been taken by someone else. I’m not sure who’s behind this, but I’ve forgotten about the Daoist priest. At that time, there were many people who opposed it. Fortunately, Lord Fu and Lord Gu’s faction strongly supported it, so the matter was settled. ”

n

nHe asked in return.

n

n“What’s going on with Shi Ming and Gu qiuhe?”

n

n“I’ll let her take action. ” Xiao ran said.

n

nShen Yiming knew who she was referring to.

n

nXiao Zhou’s eyes widened, and he said in an exaggerated manner,”brother Xiao, you …”

n

nBang! Bang!

n

nXiao ran waved his hand and knocked a chestnut on his head.

n

n“Just drink your tea.”

n

n“However, the one who benefited the most this time is still Emperor Sheng Wen! According to my guess, one of them must be his man, and the other must be recommended by the Three Ducal Ministers. No one knows the exact situation. ” Shen Yiming said.

n

n“After this, the power structure of the Imperial court will be reshuffled.” Xiao ran sighed.

n

n“Yup!” Shen Yiming felt the same.

n

n“Fortunately, we didn’t lose anything this time. Although there wasn’t any reward, Daoist priest managed to rise to the top in a single bound. He was transferred to the God Slayer sect as the Vice divine Constable. We’ve already earned a lot.”

n

nHe looked at Daoist priest Xuan Yang.

n

n“Treat?”

n

n“The boundless deity.” Daoist priest Xuan Yang read out the Daoist name with a serious expression.

n

nThe topic changed.

n

n“The drunken immortal court will treat you for a month. As long as you’re not afraid of ruining your own body, I don’t lack this bit of money.”

n

nXiao ran and the others were all amused.

n

n“This matter has been resolved. We haven’t gathered together for a long time. How about we go to the drunken immortal court for a cup of tea tonight? And also celebrate the promotion of the Taoist priest? Call Shi Ming, Gu qiuhe, Lao Bai and the rest too. ”

n

n“Shi Ming, forget it. You already have a family, it’s not good to go to the drunken immortal court.” Xiao ran shook his head.

n

n“Alright! It’s decided then. I’ll inform them later. ”

n

nHe thought of another matter.

n

n“Have you heard?”

n

n“What is it?” Xiao ran asked.

n

n“Ninth Prince.” Shen Yiming’s smile disappeared, and his expression turned serious.

n

n“Last night, a ghost king broke into the ninth Prince’s residence and tried to assassinate him, but he failed! However, the ninth Prince was still heavily injured, and his intestines were about to flow out. It looked like he wouldn’t be able to survive. However, before he died, he wanted to see your Majesty one last time and was later brought into the palace. There is still no news from the palace. ”

n

n“Who saved him?”

n

nShen Yiming shook his head.”I don’t know!”

n

n“According to the Imperial Dragon Holy guards, a burst of Yin Qi appeared and they all fainted. When they woke up again, the ninth Prince was covered in blood. He crawled out of the hall and said his last words before fainting. Only he knows what happened.”

n

n“Get people to pay more attention. I have a feeling that this matter isn’t so simple.” Xiao ran’s expression turned grave after pondering for a moment.

n

n“There must be something wrong with this abnormal situation. I think the same as you. This matter is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.” Shen Yiming agreed.

n

n“When will the Taoist take office?”

n

n“All the procedures will only be completed in three days.”

n

n“Yes.” Xiao ran responded.

n

nAfter they finished talking business, the four of them chatted casually.

n

nThe Imperial Palace.

n

nIn the Imperial study.

n

nEmperor Sheng Wen sat on the Dragon Throne and sipped his tea. Today’s morning court session was completely under his control. Just as Xiao ran and Shen Yiming had guessed, he was the one who benefited the most.

n

nOf the empty positions, half of them were taken by his own people.

n

nAs for the remaining half, it was divided among them.

n

n“Your Majesty, please have some tea.” Eunuch Zhu handed over the snow ginseng tea that he had brewed.

n

nHe closed the lid, took a sip, and handed the cup to him.

n

n“Is old nine awake?”

n

n“I just woke up! The imperial physician said that he doesn’t have long to live and that he might not be able to survive today. ” Eunuch Zhu said honestly.

n

n“You still haven’t investigated clearly?” Emperor Sheng Wen asked.

n

nHe was referring to who had attacked.

n

n“The clues left at the scene are limited. In addition, the ghost king is dead. The people from the shadow Department have been investigating with all their might, but they still haven’t found a single clue.” Eunuch Zhu said.

n

nTapping his index finger on the Dragon Throne, Emperor Sheng Wen narrowed his eyes and wondered who did it.

n

nThe eldest or the second? Or third brother?

n

nHe shook his head.

n

nIt didn’t matter who did it. What was important was that ninth brother couldn’t hold on much longer.

n

n“The Gu family and the fu family have joined forces.”

n

nEunuch Zhu didn’t know how to respond to this, and just like eunuch Liang, he lowered his head.

n

n“Zhen’s good sister has also intervened. She actually helped them get two insignificant positions and sent people to investigate. Zhen wants to know the specific reason, or else I won’t be able to sleep and eat in peace. ”

n

n“It’s Your Majesty!” Eunuch Zhu replied respectfully.

n

nHe looked at them.

n

n“I want to go see him one last time?”

n

nEunuch Zhu was very sly. He kicked the ball back to Emperor Sheng Wen.”I am only Your Majesty’s servant. Whether it is family or business, I only bring my eyes and not my mouth.”

n

nEmperor Sheng Wen couldn’t find any fault with his desire to survive.

n

nThere was a moment of silence.

n

nEmperor Sheng Wen still stood up from the Dragon Throne and looked at the sky outside. He sighed and said,”no matter what, he is my child. Since he wants to see me one last time before he dies, I will satisfy him!”
