Chapter 227: Striving for favor, trouble lies ahead
When the imperial guards came in the Xiao w.a.n.gfu, many people saw it. Many of these people crouch on the ground to see what was happening.
But as a result, later on, they saw⦠â¦
âXiao, Xiao w.a.n.gye?â There were few people couldnât calm down, when they saw Xiao Tianyao came out. Some people even fell to the ground in shock.
And again, a person who just calmed down himself was frightened: âXiao w.a.n.gyeâs legs were cured?â
âIs this real? The imperial guards came to invite Xiao w.a.n.gye into the palace, now that his legs were cured?â Some people who were hiding in the corner, near outside the Xiao w.a.n.gfu said. They couldnât believe in the scene they just saw. Even if the facts were already in front of them.
âHurry, letâs go and tell this news to the old master. Xiao w.a.n.gyeâs legs are really cured.â There were really some well-informed people, but when they received the gush of wind, they didnât believe in it at once. So to be sure, these people arranged some spies to watch over the Xiao w.a.n.gfu.
This move really frightened many groups of people.
The news came out one after another. Many pigeons fly outside the capital. All of them fluttered and flew in the sky. But, they didnât go too far. Because they were killed one by one.
âOne, two⦠⦠ten pigeons. This one is a roasted pigeon, steamed pigeon, braised pigeon⦠How many days do I need before I could eat them all?â On a tree, a youngster with a fat drum like face looked sadly at the lined up pigeons.
Itâs too much, I canât finish it!
âLittle Chichi, when are you coming back? Iâm really bored killing the pigeons here.â
*Pa-*
The youngster pulled the string of his slingshot once again and shot the pigeon.
This youngster named Tang Tang was the younger brother of the first rank a.s.sa.s.sin, Jing Chi. Tang Tang has red lips and white teeth. He looked like a 16 or 17-year-old boy, but he was actually 25 years old. He only looked soft and tender. And of course, his IQ was comparable to his appearance. So, Jing Chi arranged him to this âvery importantâ task called pigeons killing.
The moment Xiao Tianyao walked out from the Xiao w.a.n.gfu, the news that the G.o.d of War can now walk with his legs spread quietly throughout the capital. All the capable people now learned that Xiao Tianyao can walk.
Meng Family was very happy when they heard the news: âFortunately, my son, your legs got hurt. Otherwise, if you were on the battlefield this time. And this news spread, you will encounter more unnecessary trouble.â
âIt is because mother was considerate and thoughtful.â Meng s.h.i.+ convinced Meng Laofuren.
Cui Family was also very happy, the Cui Family Master and second son shared their thoughts: âFatherâs eyes are outstanding, this son canât even compare enough.â
Cui Family Master said in modesty: âNo, no, itâs not that I have outstanding eyes. Itâs because of our familyâs ancestral teachings. Our Cui Family never partic.i.p.ated in power struggles. So, no matter who wins or lose. No matter who dominated or fall. Our family never fall. When our family was not despised by any side, we can continue to develop.â
âThis son will remember grandfatherâs teaching.â Cui Erzhu busily gets up and cupped his hands.
Some people were happy, but some people were not. Naturally, those unhappy people were, Left Prime Minister Lin Xiang and Right Prime Minister You. Both of them instigated against Xiao Tianyao at that time. If Xiao Tianyao takes revenge, they canât hide.
Xiao w.a.n.gye, this person, if he wants to take revenge, he doesnât beat around the bush. He will directly slap or clean up their face. Just like how cleaned up the Tiancang Pavilion.
Lin Furen and Lin Wanting were even more regretful. Lin Furen regretting miscalculating things. She even offended her brothers just to marry off Lin Chujiu to Xiao w.a.n.gfu.
No need to mention about Lin Wanting. She fell in love with the crippled Xiao Tianyao, so what more now that he could walk. How can she not regret it?
Originally, because she took the initiative to enter Xiao w.a.n.gfu, she provoked Lin Furenâs anger. She was punished, so she stayed honestly inside the house. But now, she was very dissatisfied with her mother: âWhy? Why didnât you let me marry Xiao w.a.n.gye?â
âMother, this is all your fault, you ruined my future.â
âI hate you, I hate youâ¦â
Lin Furen was. .h.i.t hard with her daughter words, and she almost fainted.
This was her daughter, her daughter that she took good care for 15 years!
No need to mention other families. Because even the palace people fly like a chicken and bark like a dog.
When the Empress heard that Third Prince Xiao Zian was in danger, and Divine Doctor Mo was absent from the palace. The situation becomes urgent. As a mother of the country, she should come and visit. But in order to express her concerned and care to the third prince more, she took the Crown Prince and the seventh prince with her.
Originally, the Empress, the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince were so shocked when they heard the unbelievable news that Lin Chujiu will cure Xiao Zian. But now, they even heard that Xiao w.a.n.gye will accompany her in the palace. The mother and sons face was naturally full of shocked.
In the end, the Crown Prince couldnât absorb the news, he asks: âImperial Uncleâs legs were cured?â
The Crown Prince didnât receive any news about Xiao Tianyao before. But it seems, the Empress and the Seventh Prince were aware. Because they were less shocked than him.
Even after his words fell, the imperial hall stayed silent. No one answered his question. The Crown Prince felt embarra.s.sed, but he stood silently in the same place. Only the Seventh Prince bother to show care to him: âImperial Brother, if Imperial Uncleâs legs were not good, can he enter the palace?â
âLittle Seven is right.â The Crown Prince said to escape his embarra.s.sing situation.
But, when his words just fell, he heard the emperor said: âYour Imperial Uncleâs legs were cured by his w.a.n.gfei.â
Everyone canât understand what the emperor was saying. But once they heard it, the Empress, the Seventh Prince, particularly the Crown Prince was obviously shocked: âLin Chujiu? How could she⦠â¦â Words with full of disdain come out, one after another from his mouth.
The Seventh Prince was also shocked, but he didnât show it on the surface of his face. Because he was still young. However, right after the Crown Prince finished his words, he kneels on the floor and said: âImperial Father, please forgive Imperial Brotherâs nasty words. Imperial brother didnât mean to call Imperial Auntâs name directly.â
When the Crown Prince heard this, his face became pale and he busily kneels down for his crime.
âGet up, zhen knows you have a clean heart.â The Emperor generously forgave the Crown Prince. In just one glance, it could be seen that the Emperor loves and value him. But, even with his little brain, he can be a bit smarter. He knows that he doesnât really exist in his fatherâs eyes.
The Empress lowered her eyes to cover her bitterness. The Emperor could not only see the Crown Prince but also rejected her little seven.
The Seventh Prince knew that the Emperor didnât like him, but he doesnât care. So, after he stood up, he said: âImperial Father, Imperial Aunt can heal Imperial Uncleâs legs. Sheâll definitely be able to cure third brotherâs legs. Imperial Father doesnât need to worry about anything, Third Brother will definitely get better.â
In order to prove his words, the Seventh Prince said those words with a serious face and his small hands were clenched into a fist. He looked like trying to cheer the Emperor.
The Emperorâs heart soften. He waved his hand toward the Seventh Prince and lovingly said: âLittle Seven, come closer to Imperial Father.â
This was a big favor from heaven!
At this moment, although she looked calm like the Empress. Imperial Concubine Zhou was gritting her white teeth. The Crown Prince was also bitterly looking at the Seventh Prince. Were they being used by the Seventh Prince?
