Chapter 184: The Third Prince’s Thoughts (1/2)
“Since Your Majesty has no intention to go through with the marriage, our Phoenix King Valley has embarrassed ourselves. The imperial clan of the Cloud Water Nation is noble and not a faction we can seek connection with, after all, we are just some villagers who cultivate and mix medicine in the mountains. Since that is the case, this old one and the disciples of the Phoenix King Valley will not pollute the imperial clan’s palace anymore.” The elder spoke and quickly left with the members of the Phoenix King Valley.
After being ridiculed, the Phoenix King Valley wasn’t going to remain friendly to the imperial clan. Everyone except Feng Wan’er was reluctant to part as she stared straight at Pei Wuchen. When she noticed that he wasn’t paying attention to her and was thinking about something with his head lowered, she became even more heartbroken.
Because of the Phoenix King Valley’s sudden outburst, the feast was destined to end badly. These officials were all tactful people. Seeing that the main character of the feast had already left, they quickly left as well in order to avoid displeasing His Majesty. Before long, only the old emperor and De Quan were left in the hall.
“De Quan, go and call Wuchen back. Wait for me in the imperial study.” The old emperor instructed.
De Quan immediately acknowledged the order and ran out of the hall. He wanted to call Pei Wuchen back as soon as he could.
The Emperor made his way to the imperial study in order to meet Pei Wuchen.
Pei Wuchen was puzzled as to why his Emperor Father would reject the marriage even though he was so happy when it was first brought up. The Phoenix King Valley was one of the Three Great Immortal Sects and Feng Wan’er was the daughter of the Phoenix King Valley Master. If she married into the imperial clan, the Phoenix King Valley would be the Cloud Water Nation’s backer. Why would his Emperor Father reject the marriage?
Pei Wuchen was distracted by his thoughts and didn’t notice that Eunuch De Quan was calling out to him from behind. De Quan had been chasing Pei Wuchen for quite some time and if he continued walking, he would be out of the palace. De Quan had no other choice but to give it his all to catch up to Pei Wuchen.
After he finally caught up with Pei Wuchen and wanted to pet him on the shoulder, he never expected for the Third Prince’s reaction to be so exaggerated. When he felt someone behind him,Pei Wuchen immediately pinned him to the ground.
“Aiyo, my old bones! Third Highness, please show some mercy! This old servant is De Quan!” De Quan instantly yelled out in pain.
Pei Wuchen was very polite to De Quan as this person was his Emperor Father’s closet eunuch. If Pei Wuchen was to offend this eunuch, it was hard to say if he would complain about Pei Wuchen behind his back.
