Chapter 433: Chapter 189: A Family with Two Marquises (Please Subscribe)_4

"It’s hard to say, who knows if there might be Great Demons lurking in the shadows?"

"Hehe, how could that be..."

After the two left, the grand doors of the Marquis Mansion opened once more.

Zhou Tiance watched Chen Yuan and Chen Fan gradually walking away, with a slightly sinister expression.

"The Chen Family is in such a hurry? They’ve already decided on a successor for the Marquis position!"

Chen Ke came to his side and after pondering for a moment, said:

"Master, maybe it’s just as Mr. Yuan said, the Old Madam Chen took Young Master Yi to the ancestral hall simply because of his meritorious deeds at South-Garrison Pass."

Zhou Tiance glanced at him and humphed: "Are you worried that I’m deceiving Yuan Er? You’re overthinking!"

"I wouldn’t dare," Chen Ke replied, his voice strained.

For all these years, the deeds of the Old Marquis have been unpredictable, no wonder he would overthink things.

What if Mr. Yuan agrees to succeed as Duke Jingye, but something happens on the Chen family’s side? Wouldn’t that put everyone in a difficult situation?

...

As night fell, the early spring weather in Kyoto Prefecture was still cool.

But the neighborhoods were bustling with people, particularly on Vermilion Bird Street, where inns, taverns, and brothels were all lively.

The noise could be heard from afar.

If such clamor were to occur on any ordinary day, the Night Watch Department and the Black Armor Guard would have long since come knocking to enforce order.

However, with the grand festival about to begin, the court has issued a special decree suspending all night curfews in Kyoto Prefecture temporarily.

As a result, whether it’s wanderers of the Martial World, traveling merchants, or local residents from all neighborhoods, they’ve been busting with joy, swirling through many prosperous areas.

"Ha ha ha, only when observing these young Heavenly Prides, does the Emperor feel the strength of Great Wei Country."

Emperor Wei ascended Vermilion Bird Tower amidst the night, accompanied by his attendant Liu Gao and two courtiers dressed in red official robes.

Looking at the lights on Vermilion Bird Street, he said with quite self-satisfaction: "Xie Jing, how do you think my achievements compare to those of the previous Emperors?"

"Towering above the rest of the world!" Xie Jing replied calmly with a bow.

The clean-shaven middle-aged man beside him also bowed and said: "Your subject dares not to make rash comments." ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"Just by considering Your Majesty’s achievements of holding back the Demon Court in the north and suppressing the Barbarian Clan in the south, Your Majesty has surpassed ninety-nine percent of the former emperors!"

Xie Jing slightly lifted his gaze to look at him, an odd expression in his eyes.

Emperor Wei shook his head and said, "Han Song, when did you also begin to partake in flattering and fawning practices?"

This man was none other than Duke Xing, Lin Hansong.

Upon hearing this, he still bowed and said: "Your subject wouldn’t dare, I only speak the truth."

Emperor Wei let out an awkward laugh and didn’t persist further, instead turning his gaze towards the Kyoto Academy on the central part of Vermilion Bird Street:

"I heard there has been a lot of discussion in the counties since Chen Yi’s return?"

"I have not heard," Lin Hansong shook his head.

"Has the Left Minister heard about it?"

"I have some knowledge," Xie Jing, familiar with Emperor Wei’s temperament, continued:

"It’s said that when Chen Yi came to Kyoto Prefecture, Prince Zhenbei just happened to be greeting the Princely Heir and the Commandery Princess; through distortions and exaggerations, it was rumored within the prefecture that he was receiving Chen Yi."

"Was that not the case?" Emperor Wei asked with a smile-not-smiling expression.

"It wasn’t!" Xie Jing affirmed resolutely.

Lin Hansong kept his head down, a look of worry surfaced briefly on his fair face, yet he dared not show it.

At this moment, Liu Gao who stood on the other side opened his mouth with a smile and chimed in:

"Your Majesty, looking at the laudable deeds of Baron Yingwu at South-Garrison Pass, a little encouragement from Prince Zhenbei should be taken as due."

"Oh?"

"After all, this Baron Yingwu is Duke Wuan’s son; before achieving any merit at Beixiong Pass, he has already presented a grand gift to Prince Jiahong, making Prince Qing anxious, isn’t it?"

"Ha ha... indeed, indeed." Emperor Wei suddenly burst into laughter, as if he greatly approved of this interpretation.

Contrarily, he didn’t comment on the "distortions and exaggerations."

Xie Jing’s eyes flickered, suppressing the urge to speak.

After a while.

The laughter of Emperor Wei ceased, and he waved his hand as he walked towards the exterior of the tower.

While walking, he said: "Heavenly Prides gather in Kyoto Prefecture, it brings me great joy, great joy indeed!"

"Liu Gao, issue my decree, summon the Great Master to the palace to see me!"

"Yes..."

After the master and servant departed into the distance, Xie Jing and Lin Hansong finally rose.

They didn’t look at each other but gazed at Vermilion Bird Street below, their expressions alternating between light and dark, illuminated by flickering lanterns.

"Prime Minister Xie, it’s getting windy."

"Yes, we’ll need to add more clothing on chilly nights when accompanying the Holy Emperor..."
