YM778.TV Chapter 383 - 383: Court
Chu Bai was speechless.
Damn it!
What was this?
This woman was obviously pretending to be sick. She wanted the emperor of the Kamikaze Empire to spend the night at her place to make all the other concubines angry.
Chu Bai could not do this.
“I have something to do. Let your mother rest well and look for the imperial doctor, alright?”
“I’ve looked for the doctor.”
“Alright, go back, then. I have something to do.”
With that, Chu Bai walked in.
In the bedroom, Chu Bai was lying there.
“Is there any chance to take the opportunity to destroy the Spirit Sword Sect?”
Chu Bai thought for a moment, but it did not seem possible.
Even if he found a reason, it would not be easy to do it since tomorrow was the birthday banquet.
The birthday banquet would be held tomorrow night.
For the rest of the day, he had to follow the emperor’s routine.
Therefore, Chu Bai still had to go to court the next morning.
However, it was not a problem.
If he went to the morning court, he might be able to understand some things.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Chu Bai opened his eyes.
“Your Majesty! It’s getting late, and it’s time for morning court.”
State Preceptor Zhang’s voice came from outside.
Chu Bai sat up, and two palace maids immediately served him.
To be honest, the life of an emperor was really good.
“You guys can leave.”
Chu Bai said to them.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Very soon, Chu Bai put on the dragon robe and walked out.
State Preceptor Zhang was waiting outside.
“Your Majesty, 1 have something urgent to report to you.”
State Preceptor Zhang said.
Chu Bai walked into the palanquin.
“Yes, please speak, State Preceptor.”
“Guo Yi has been exposed.”
“What?!”
Chu Bai had a shocked expression!
He had received news from Tan Tianxing in the middle of the night.
Guo Yi was his brother.
“If it wasn’t for Tan Tianxing valuing his long friendship with him, Guo Yi probably wouldn’t have come back alive. He… The situation wasn’t good, so he couldn’t personally meet His Majesty.”
“How did he get exposed?” Chu Bai asked.
“According to Guo Yi, the other members of the Heavenly Dragon Army might have overheard him secretly contacting me and told Tan Tianxing!”
“Trash!”
Chu Bai shouted angrily.
“Your Majesty, please calm down. There won’t be such a big consequence. At least, we’ve learned some of Tan Tianxing’s thoughts through Guo Yi. We’re also sure that he already knows what Your Majesty has done. We’re also sure that the Heavenly Dragon Army won’t make a move today.”
Chu Bai nodded. “That’s right. But now, we and Tan Tianxing are already considered as open cards.”
“That’s right! We know what Tan Tianxing is thinking, and Tan Tianxing also knows what we are thinking. He knows that we’re suspecting that he might make a move tonight.”
“But he’ll definitely come,” Chu Bai said.
State Preceptor Zhang nodded. “Indeed. Although we’ve made it clear, we haven’t completely fallen out with each other. It’s just that… Will Tan Xingxing still come?”
“Even if Tan Xingxing doesn’t come, will he really dare to attack tonight?”
Chu Bai said disdainfully.
Although State Preceptor Zhang was cautious, he did not think Tan Tianxing would make a move—at least not tonight.
“Tonight, we have to find an opportunity to destroy Tan Tianxing. At the very least, we have to control Tan Tianxing,” State Preceptor Zhang said.
“As long as I have Tan Xingxing’s life in my hands, I can control Tan Tianxing! Is the poison ready?”
State Preceptor Zhang then took out poisonous powder wrapped in paper.
“It’s ready. This poison powder is specially made by this old minister. As long as Tan Xingxing eats it, her life and death will be in my hands.”
“Good! Give the poison powder to me. I’ll have more chances to poison Tan Xingxing.”
Then, State Preceptor Zhang passed the poison to Chu Bai through the window of the palanquin.
“Ascension to court!”
Following the eunuch’s voice, Chu Bai walked out from behind, dressed in a dragon robe.
“Greetings, Your Majesty!”
Everyone knelt down and saluted.
The higher the position, the higher the status.
For example, State Perceptor Zhang was standing at the front of the row on the left!
At the front of the row on the right was an old man. Fie was the prime minister of the empire. His status was the same as that of State Preceptor Zhang, and he was on the same side as the emperor of the Kamikaze Empire.
However, he and State Perceptor Zhang did not do anything.
“Everyone, please rise.”
Chu Bai said indifferently.
Everyone stood up.
“Your Majesty!”
An old man walked out.
“Your Majesty! I have something important to report.”
Who was this?
Fortunately, Chu Bai was the emperor. Even if he did not address him, it would not be a big deal.
“Oh?” he said.
Then, the old man said, “Yesterday, several people from our Spirit Sword Sect came to look for Your Majesty, but Your Majesty seemed to have something to do and went out. Our Spirit Sword Sect’s Sect Master Li Heng disappeared yesterday, and we can’t contact him. We only know that before our sect master disappeared, he went looking for Your Majesty in the Imperial Palace. We hope that Your Majesty can give us some information.”
“I’ve heard the state preceptor mention this matter.”
Then, Chu Bai said, “Yesterday, Sect Master Li came to find me to discuss some matters. I don’t need to hide this matter. He wanted to ask me for help in capturing Bai Ye. After that, we chatted for a while. Sect Master Li said that he was going back, and 1 don’t know anything else.”
“Your Majesty, did the sect master say he was returning to the sect?”
The old man asked.
Chu Bai said, “He didn’t say that he was going back to the sect. He only said that he was taking his leave. 1 couldn’t have asked where he was going, right? I really don’t know where he went.”
The old man clenched his fists.
“Grand Elder.” A middle-aged man walked out and said, “In my opinion, considering that there’s been no news of Sect Master Li and he hasn’t contacted the Spirit Sword Sect, it’s very likely that he encountered an accident. 1 don’t know the specific situation, but he might just be unconscious. However, this matter should be done by Bai Ye.”
Some people also nodded their heads. It should have been done by Bai Ye! “Perhaps Sect Master Li had obtained traces of Bai Ye and went to take revenge on Bai Ye, but he was ambushed by Bai Ye.”
The old man said, “No! According to the sect master’s habits, even if he had received news of Bai Ye and went alone to take revenge, he would have definitely contacted the sect and informed us. After all, it’s very simple for the sect master to contact the sect. He only needs a voice transmission talisman!”
Chu Bai also nodded. “What other reason could there be? For example, did Sect Master Li use up all his voice transmission talismans? Was he afraid of losing Bai Ye? Was that why he went over alone?”
Some people nodded to indicate that it was possible.
Then, Chu Bai said, “I’ll naturally take this matter to heart. No matter what the outcome is, I’ll definitely investigate this matter! Sect Master Li’s cultivation isn’t low, so there shouldn’t be too much of a problem! Don’t worry!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Even though he said that, everyone thought that Li Heng was probably dead..
