Chapter 90.1: Yuner (1/2)
Xi Qiulin puked up a mouthful of old blood when he saw the look Baili Yu shot over. He wobbled and almost fell onto the ground. Luckily, his attendant supported him before he fell. “Your Majesty, your dragon physique requires attention!”
“Scram!” Xi Qiulin slapped aside his attendant. “Go find General Feng and have him issue an arrest order. Order the entire city to pursue and kill Baili Yu and Li Xueyi! If he can’t complete this task, have him carry his head over to see zhen!”
“Understood!”
After the attendant replied, he withdrew while trembling. Xi Qiulin swept a cold gaze over the corpses that covered the ground. “Go find the Prime Minister!”
Very soon, the Prime Minister ran in with an alarmed expression. This incident had occurred within his residence, so even though he hadn’t done anything, he was already implicated. Thus, there was no way he could avoid feeling apprehensive.
“Your, Your Majesty…”
When Xi Qiulin saw his disappointing behavior, he said irritatedly, “Get up! Zhen has something to ask you!”
“Your Majesty, please enlighten me with your question.”
“Did the people from the Heng Xuan Chamber of Commerce leave?”
The Prime Minister lowered his head even more when he heard this unexpected question. “Re-re-replying Your Majesty. They have just left.”
“Absolutely disgraceful! Why didn’t you stop them!?”
If only he could stop them! The Prime Minister cried bitterly inside his heart as he tried to find a way to reply to Xi Qiulin’s words.
However, Xi Qiulin didn’t have the patience to hear his attempts at explaining. Waving his hand, he said, “Rise!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
“Announce my decree, lead people to seal all of the stores belonging to the Heng Xuan Chamber of Commerce!”
The Prime Minister had just exhaled and wiped his forehead in relief when Xi Qiulin’s next words shocked him so much his legs turned weak. “You-your Majesty…”
“What? Prime Minister, you have an objection!?” Xi Qiulin swept a cold gaze over.
The Prime Minister started and quickly replied, “No, no, this humble servant will go right away, right away!”
“Humph!” Xi Qiulin flung his sleeves back and left with large strides. “Return to the palace!”
“This humble subject respectfully sees off Your Majesty!”
The Prime Minister only staggered to his feet once Xi Qiulin had walked far away. He smiled bitterly as he wiped the sweat on his forehead. ‘Seal all of the stores that belonged to the Heng Xuan Chamber of Commerce’, wasn’t this pretty much pushing him into a pit of fire?
