Chapter 84 - Gorgeous Doctor (31) (2/2)
Qing Chen’s Drunken Flower Pavilion, under the guise of a brothel, was actually in the business of collecting information, assassination, robbery, etc. It was no exaggeration to say that he knew very well the major forces throughout the whole continent.
Qing Chen handed the evidence to the emperor. Lord Four was still held by Ming Shu. He couldn’t see what Qing Chen had handed over to the emperor, so he stretched his neck to look, feeling both uneasy and angry inside.
Why did Qing Chen, the she-male, also make trouble for him?
“Guards!” the emperor suddenly roared. He looked at Lord Four with an ambiguous gaze and ordered, “Go search Lord Four’s mansion.”
“Father…” What did Qing Chen show the emperor exactly? “Father, I really am not rebelling. You must believe me, someone is making up things to slander me.”
The emperor sneered and ignored Lord Four’s pleas.
Qing Chen covered his face with a fan, revealing only a pair of fox-like eyes, and winked at Ming Shu.
Ming Shu habitually responded with a smile, glittering lights radiating out from her beautiful eyes. She looked lively and happy.
However, apart from this, one couldn’t tell any of her other emotions.
Ming Shu took out a packet of cakes from her clothes, transferred Lord Four to Liu Feng, then walked to the side, resuming her “happy time.” The emperor glanced at her, seemingly dissatisfied, but remained silent. He stood alone on one side with hands clasped behind his back, looking deep into the palace gates.
Compared to a person who only wanted to stop and interfere with Ming Shu, Qing Chen’s way of helping was obviously more “popular” with Ming Shu.
The guards sent out by the emperor soon returned, bringing back a lot of things uncovered in Lord Four’s mansion. There was not only a brand new dragon robe, but also a few captured subordinates. Frightened by the majestic image of the emperor, the captured ones confessed everything easily.
Lord Four tried to stop them from confessing, but in the face of facts, all of his arguments and explanations seemed to pale, and finally he became so angry he fainted.
“Old Four, you disappoint me.” The emperor shook his head, his majestic face showing a bit of pain, but it was immediately replaced by fury. “Guards, take Lord Four down.”
The emperor looked at Lord Bai, intentionally or unintentionally.
Under the elusive gaze of the emperor, Lord Bai suddenly became nervous.
He was aware that the emperor let him and Lord Xiao witness this scene today to deter them… Although the emperor was old now, he knew everything on the continent as if looking into a seeing glass.
Since he could punish Lord Four without any hesitation, naturally he would find ways to deal with them, who seemed to have surpassed the royal family these past years.
The guards took the order to seize Lord Four. But Liu Feng was holding Lord Four and he didn’t seem to want to let him go. After confronting each other for a little while, it seemed the two sides were going to fight again. Qing Chen spoke out in time.
“Your Majesty, may I make a request?” Qing Chen asked, but his tone was not one of asking a request.
The emperor was impatient internally, but he pretended to be listening on the surface. “What request, just say it.”
“I hope Your Majesty will leave Hong Yan to Miss Zhi Po. The man used to be a disciple of Death Valley, and it is reasonable to let Death Valley punish him.”
The guard beside the emperor whispered something in his ear.
Pondering for some time, the emperor answered, “The request is granted. Once that person is arrested, he will be transferred to Death Valley. But… I hope master Qing Chen will not intervene in the royal family’s affairs.”
“I’m busy, all right?” Qing Chen couldn’t help rolling his eyes.
“What did you say, Master Qing Chen?”
Qing Chen immediately forced a smile. “Nothing, Your Majesty, please rest assured. I’m not interested in the royal family’s affairs.”
“Remember what you said today.”
The emperor glanced at Ming Shu, who was still eating, then he sneered and left with his guards.
Liu Feng let go of Lord Four with the consent of Ming Shu. But Ming Shu came forward suddenly and knocked out one of Lord Four’s front teeth in front of the remaining onlookers. She shook her fist and waved. “Okay, take him away.”
“…” Your Majesty, come back! Look what this woman has done!
Liu Feng’s face twitched with his speechlessness. He was 100% sure that if Miss and the master of Drunken Flower Pavilion teamed up, the entire continent would not be enough for them to play with.
Lord Bai and Lord Xiao had their own scheming to do and had no intention to stay, so they also left. Before he made his exit, Lord Bai gave Ming Shu a hostile and meaningful look.
