Chapter 271 – Humiliation (1/2)

The face of Long Yin instantly changed. In the hall, everyone was looking for the source of the voice. Everyone looked at this young man who killed the God of War three years ago, and who could kill 10,000 soldiers on his own. After the legend that he’d created, he jumped off from the Duanhun Cliff, and came back again as a legend. Although it was said that he couldn’t reclaim his power for his whole life, no one perceived him as an ordinary person.

On his wheelchair, Ye Wuchen was pushed inside the hall by the two girls. He was wearing a light smile. When he reached the middle part of the hall, he waved his hand and asked to stop, then he looked straightly at Long Yin, “Wuchen is ill, and I can’t bow. Please forgive me.”

Although he said “please forgive me”, there’s zero sense of respectfulness in his tone. He also slowly raised his head, like he was half awake. All the officials were stunned to see him looking so disrespectful.

Long Yin glanced at the silent Tongxin. He almost burst out from his anger, and he shouted, “say what you want to say.”

Ye Wuchen leaned forward, and he lowered his eyes. Suddenly, he yawned in front of everyone. They were shocked to see his attitude. Even Long Yin’s face slightly twisted. After a while, Ye Wuchen resumed, “Wuchen is coming here on behalf of my father. He’s been sick, and so he cannot come to today’s meeting. Please forgive him.”

The fellow officials secretly thought that Ye Wuchen didn’t have to come personally to deliver such a message. He could have sat at home and sent a messenger.

Even the stupidest person realized that Ye Wuchen was having another plan other than “sending this message on behalf of his father”. His way of arrogance and apathy was also done deliberately. There had to be a hidden agenda.

Expectedly, Long Yin lost it. He frowned and yelled, “I’ve already known. You may leave now. This is the Tianlong Hall, and the next time if you’ve got anything to say, you’d better not come unannounced. Leave now!”

Ye Wuchen stayed, and he smiled, “don’t get angry yet. There is another thing that I want to say, and I’ll leave after I do.”

“What something else?” Long Yin sneered.

Ye Wuchen seemed to smile, “Wuchen has heard that the Empress and the oldest son of Lin family, Lin Xiao are having an affair. May I know if this is true?”

This was a bomb. And everyone almost fainted after he said this. In front of the Emperor, in front of everyone else, Ye Wuchen tore apart the wound of Long Yin openly, just like giving him a few slaps in public.

Long Yin and Lin Zhan’s faces instantly turned pale, yet Wuchen was still laughing, “if the Emperor doesn’t object, it means this incident is for real. Well…how shocking, it must feel bad to be cheated on, am I right?”

Whether they were old officials that had decades of experience in the Palace, or the new officials that had just started their work for a few days, all had to make sure they heard it. Long Yin went furious, he stood up and yelled loudly, “how dare you!”

Ye Wuchen had no fear at all, he went on, “oh? What have I said wrong? Why is the Emperor so angry?”

“How dare you!” The atmosphere became delicate. Lin Zhan also stepped forward to shout at Ye Wuchen.

“How dare I? I am daring, huh? Master Lin, you’ve sent a son that cheated on the Emperor, yet you still dared to stand in front of the Emperor. I am not as daring as you are.” Ye Wuchen had no single hint of fear.

Lin Zhan was shivering out of anger. He almost burst out, “you…you…it’s all nonsense! My Xiao’er has always been gentle and kind since he was little. And he’s never done anything offensive to anyone. As a son of Ye family, how is it possible that you believe in such rumor? And you even dared to act so arrogantly in front of the Emperor. Do you really think that after killing Feng Chaoyang, you can do whatever you want, and you don’t even have to respect the Emperor anymore?”

“Master Lin, don’t be so nervous. This will hurt your body. If you think that this is just a scandal, and how come Lin Xiao isn’t here these days to claim it? If he appears in one piece, then the scandal will disappear itself, won’t it?” Ye Wuchen was saying it when smiling and playing with Ningxue’s hands.
