917 Curtains Up 1 (1/2)
”Your Majesty! Throughout the generations of Emperors, none have said that they have the right to search the Grand Adviser's Mansion! If Your Majesty really does that, I'm afraid…..” Yuan Biao reminded the Emperor immediately, that the Grand Adviser's Mansion must not be subjected to a search.
Although the Grand Adviser Wen Yu held a position of high reverence in the hearts of the people, he had very seldom interfered with the affairs of the Fire Country. And the air of mystery that surrounded the Grand Adviser had always discouraged anyone from daring to antagonize him.
Someone who was past a hundred years of age, but still possessed the looks of a twenty something, could not possibly be an ordinary person!
Even a man like Yuan Biao did not dare go stir up any trouble with the Grand Adviser.
With Yuan Biao's quick reminder, the Emperor was suddenly shocked back to regain his senses and the maniacal expression on his face slowly subsided.
”Forget that….. Forget that….. You just get some men to keep watch outside the Grand Adviser's Mansion and only when they discover any suspicious persons, can they then take action.” The Emperor's wild rage calmed, and in his mind, the instructions left behind by his Father, the previous Emperor, suddenly rose up from his memory.
[Never ever show the Grand Adviser any disrespect!]
Those were the last words the late Emperor had told him when he was handed the throne. He had remembered those words for many years after he ascended the throne, but with Wen Yu's nonchalance, he had gradually forgotten all about it. Now that he had remembered it again, he suddenly felt a chill creep into his heart.
The Grand Adviser Wen Yu, was a person even the First Emperor had been quietly respectful of and if he were to openly go against the Grand Adviser…..
The Emperor felt a shudder suddenly crawl up his back.
Yuan Biao saw that the Emperor had finally calmed himself down and he discreetly blew out a breath in relief, immediately asking to take his leave after receiving his orders.
The Emperor was still feeling worried and he dispatched more guards outside the Empress Dowager's Palace. He also sent out his orders, that he must be informed in the first instance if the Grand Adviser or the Crown Prince comes to the Imperial Palace.
