Chapter 65 – She is my fiancee (1/2)
Without intentionally raising the volume and without intentionally bringing emotion, the voice was very calm. It was as if he was saying an insignificant sentence that was heard very clear. The two words were so clear, that people inside the palace couldn’t even convince themselves they heard wrong.
Therefore, the two words caused the entire Wei Yang Palace to calm down.
The previous hopeful calmness was replaced with silence. The atmosphere was extremely strange.
In the next second, the calm silence broke as the place became noisy.
Innumerate voices were about to break the roof of the palace!
Someone’s against it?
There’s actually someone against this marriage!?
Deep in the palace, Xu Shi Ji suddenly stood up and looked at Chen Chang Sheng who stood by the door. His face looked extremely pale. Prince Chen Liu felt slightly dazed but did not know what happened. Mo Yu also slowly stood up expressionless, but coldness gradually creeped on to her face.
The reaction from the southern ambassadors was obviously much more bewildered. The master of the Qiu Shang family stared at the young man standing by the door. He didn’t recognize him, and forced himself to take a few deep breaths to suppress his anger. But among the ambassadors, some were youngsters who were to participate in the Great Trial next year. They could not hold their anger like their master — especially the three rulings of the Li Mountain. The youngsters became extremely cold and looked at Chen Chang Sheng as if they were looking at a dead man.
Qiu Shan Jun was their most respected senior. They knew how much their oldest senior cared about this marriage and knew how much their oldest senior cared about Xu You Rong, but just when they were about to see the couple finally come together and when their oldest senior’s dream was about to reach, there was actually someone who dared to disrupt them!
Was he trying to commit suicide?
If they were not at the Palace, the three young elites would probably have already waved their swords and killed Chen Chang Sheng, but after all, this place was the Great Zhou Royal Palace. As southerners, they had to hold it in for now and wait for the Zhou people to take action first.
The action came very fast, Xu Shi Ji’s face filled with emotions. He stared at Chen Chang Sheng and shouted coldly, “Trash! How dare you make any noise in the palace! Soldiers, come kick this person out!”
After being deployed back to the capital, Xu Shi Ji and Xue Xing Chuan were in charge of the defense of the royal palace together due to the trust of the Divine Queen. Because of this, the soldiers inside the royal palace were all his own subordinates. Upon hearing his shout, all ten soldiers surrounded Chen Chang Sheng.
Xu Shi Ji stared at Chen Chang Sheng. His look was very unkind, filled with caution, and held killing intent. He wouldn’t give Chen Chang Sheng any chance to speak. If he had to, he would command the soldiers to kill Chen Chang Sheng without letting him speak.
Many people noticed his intention, but they didn’t know the reason behind his actions. Because he was Xu You Rong’s father, they thought that if anyone wanted to disrupt their daughter’s marriage banquet, they would also want to kill the disrupter.
The soldiers did not catch Chen Chang Sheng, because someone stood in front of him. Luo Luo left the seats for the Tradition Academy. She held the Falling Rain Whip and didn’t even look at the soldiers. Her vision directly fell on Mo Yu who was deep in the palace.
Next, another person stood in front of Chen Chang Sheng.
Tang Thirty Six.
Previously after Chen Chang Sheng and Luo Luo left the palace, Tang Thirty Six arrived at the Wei Yang Palace so he didn’t see the two. He paid all of his attention to Guan Fei Bai, the fourth ruling of the Seven Rulings. Later Luo Luo came back to the Wei Yang Palace, but he still didn’t see Chen Chang Sheng. He then began to feel a little strange.
He didn’t know why Chen Chang Sheng was against the engagement between Xu Mansion and Qiu Shan family but he knew there was hostility between Chen Chang Sheng and the Xu mansion. He was also too lazy to think about those problems and since there were people that wanted to kill Chen Chang Sheng, he obviously had to stand up.
Xu Shi Ji’s face was completely covered with emotions now. He looked at Luo Luo and Tang Thirty Six who stood in front of Chen Chang Sheng. “I don’t care who you are or what your background is, tonight I, as the General has the responsibility to catch this criminal. If anyone dares to hinder, don’t blame me for being ruthless. I wouldn’t go easy.”
“Criminal?” An old voice suddenly suddenly came up next to Xu Shi Ji sounding blank.
The person who was speaking is the Bishop of the Department of Traditional Education.
The elder who just opened up his eyes was certainly very blank like he just woke up.
He looked around and then asked Xu Shi Ji, “Where’s the criminal?”
He knew the answer but still asked which made Xu Shi Ji’s face become covered with anger.
The Bishop followed everyone’s vision and looked towards the door and saw Chen Chang Sheng. As if he just realized, he said, “This little kid is a student of the Tradition Academy, I signed the paper myself. It shouldn’t be wrong. Even though he’s late, he shouldn’t be counted as a criminal, right?”
The soldiers looked towards Xu Shi Ji.
Xu Shi Ji got even more angry but he eventually confirmed the Bishop’s position.
Prince Chen Liu, feeling a bit helpless, explained to the Bishop, “Previously he spoke against the engagement.”
Bishop looked at the people, smiled and said, “Since there’s a part called Questioning the World, then obviously it should allow for people to disagree. If it doesn’t, then why would Prince ask before? If there’s no respect for the rule, then you can make the engagement as you want to. Why would you come to the Great Zhou to propose?”
Logically, his words couldn’t be argued against.
So the Southern ambassadors got even more furious. Many looked angrily at the Bishop, but the elder closed up his eyes again as if he wanted to continue sleeping. He completely did not care about these looks that were as sharp as swords and as cold as snow.
The Bishop kept closing eyes. What he said set the trend of this thing. At least viewing from the surface, it represented the Tradition’s attitude.
There weren’t many people who could question his words. Mo Yu obviously was one of them, but she didn’t do anything. She slowly sat back at her seat. She looked a bit surprised, because she noticed before that when Chen Chang Sheng walked into the palace, a black goat disappeared in the darkness simultaneously.
She obviously knew what this black goat represented.
The black goat carried Chen Chang Sheng to the Wei Yang Palace. What did this represent?
Prince Chen Liu didn’t expect her to remain silent andfelt a little surprised.
At this moment, the elder of Li Mountain, Xiao Song Gong stood up and said, “Prince, what’s happening?”
