Chapter 386 - 386: Birthday Banquet

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It just so happened that Chu Bai had a reason to come to the kitchen!

Otherwise, why would an emperor like him come to the kitchen to see the progress of cooking?

It was indeed a little suspicious.

“Tell me what dishes will be served today.”

Chu Bai said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

He mainly wanted to know where to put the poison.

After some understanding, Chu Bai had a rough idea.

Everyone would be served the same food. It hadn’t been made yet, so there were only the ingredients.

It was just that there would be more things on his table.

It was not easy for him to poison the food and wine.

Chu Bai pondered for a moment.

It was too dangerous to poison the food. The kitchen staff would try the taste after they were done cooking, and they would be poisoned.

The best would be the wine!

Everyone might not eat the food, but they would definitely drink the wine!

“Where’s the wine? Show me the wine we’ll drink tonight.”

Chu Bai said.

“Your Majesty, you don’t have to worry about this. Just leave it to me. There’ll definitely be no mistakes.”

Imperial Concubine Leng said with a smile.

“Let me take a look personally.”

Chu Bai added.

Since Chu Bai had already said so, the concubines naturally would not say anything. They brought Chu Bai to the wine cellar.

“Your Majesty, tonight, everyone will be drinking these two jars of wine.”

There were two huge wine jars.

It was very clear that the poison should be placed here.

“Oh, right, I seem to have some good wine, right?”

Chu Bai said to Imperial Concubine Leng beside him.

The others were guarding outside, and only Chu Bai and Imperial Concubine Leng were here.

The emperor loved to drink as much as his life.

He definitely had a collection.

Chu Bai did not know where it was, but Imperial Concubine Leng might know.

It could be seen that among all the concubines, she had the highest status and should be the most favored one.

Chu Bai’s question would not be surprising.

As the emperor, it was normal for him not to remember this clearly.

“Your Majesty, of course, you. 1’11 get it for you now.”

Imperial Concubine Leng hurriedly said.

“Yes, bring it over! I’m happy today!”

Chu Bai said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Then, she hurriedly walked out.

After she left, Chu Bai was left alone.

It was time to poison the wine.

Chu Bai added the poison into the two jars.

This poison would not take their lives, but after taking it, they would lose their spiritual power for a period of time and would not be able to activate it!

Even if they were experts, what was the difference between them and ordinary people if they could not activate their spiritual power?

However, it might not have much effect on some powerful people. Even so, the good thing about the poison is that it’s not easy for it to be discovered.

Chu Bai still had another kind of poison on him!

This poison would not be discovered as well. At the same time, it was extremely poisonous. Perhaps only that divine emperor realm expert would not die from the poison. The others would.

This was reserved for State Perceptor Zhang and the other members of the royal family.

This poison would naturally be placed in the good wine that Imperial Concubine Leng would bring over later.

In this way, Chu Bai could ensure that those people could drink the poisoned wine.

Soon, Imperial Concubine Leng came over with her men.

Chu Bai was already standing in front of the wine cellar.

The other concubines had been sent away by him.

“Stop.”

Imperial Concubine Leng said, and then her group stopped.

“Your Majesty, there are a total of three jugs of good wine here. They were all left behind by you. As for the other good wine, only Your Majesty knows where they are.”

Chu Bai had a rough idea.

After some calculations, he realized that there was more wine.

One jug of wine should be enough.

“Take these two jugs back. When the time comes, I’ll give this jug to those few,” Chu Bai said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Then, Chu Bai opened the lid and sniffed it.

Taking advantage of the fact that Imperial Concubine Leng was not paying attention, he put the poison into the wine jar.

She did not notice it because she was blocked by the gesture of him closing the lid.

“Put this jug of wine aside for now and bring it to my table tonight.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Then, Chu Bai left.

The sky gradually darkened.

More and more people entered the palace with invitations.

Then, they gathered in the huge palace.

Anyone who could eat in the main hall was someone with some status.

Those with low status could only stay in other halls or outside.

“Hahaha! Sect Leader Bai! Nice to meet you!”

“Patriarch Zhang is here too, hahaha! Nice to meet you!”

“Elder Beihai? I didn’t expect you to come too. Please sit down!”

More and more big shots gathered in the hall.

There were plaques on each table, and the names of the people sitting there were written on them.

Tan Tianxing and Tan Xingxing also appeared in the palace.

“General Tan!”

Everyone stood up and greeted him.

Tan Xingxing did not really like such occasions, but she probably knew that it would not be peaceful tonight. She was willing to come for her father and Bai Ye.

“The third princess is becoming more and more beautiful.”

Tan Tianxing smiled.

“Thank you!”

Tan Tianxing had a high status.

In the palace, he might not be anything special, but everyone knew that he was the general of the Heavenly Dragon Army!

Moreover, he was a divine emperor expert that was hard to find in the entire Kamikaze Empire.

Just based on his strength alone, everyone was respectful to him.

Tan Xingxing also bowed.

“State Preceptor Zhang, long time no see.”

Tan Tianxing cupped his fists at State Preceptor Zhang.

“General Tan, the third princess is here too!”

“Today is His Majesty’s birthday banquet,” Tan Tianxing said. “No matter what, she must come.”

“Hahaha, I’m sure His Majesty will be very happy to know that General Tan has brought the third princess here.”

State Preceptor Zhang smiled.

“Will he really be happy?”

Tan Tianxing suddenly said.

“What does General Tan mean?” State Preceptor Zhang smiled. “His Majesty is certainly happy that you can come!”

“That’s the best.”

Then, Tan Tianxing brought Tan Xingxing forward.

State Preceptor Zhang’s eyes narrowed.

Why did Tan Tianxing say that?

Now, in State Preceptor Zhang’s eyes, they had already revealed their cards. It was just that they had not shed all pretense of cordiality.

Since it was clear, it was reasonable for Tan Tianxing to not say anything.

With him saying this now, State Preceptor Zhang could tell that he was very unhappy, but he could only be unhappy and could not do anything!

On the contrary, this made the cunning State Preceptor Zhang feel at ease!

Tan Tianxing sat closer to the front.

It was almost the table at the very front.

There were some tables in front of him that could seat about 40 to 50 people. These were the seats for the royal family.

“Xingxing, no matter what happens later, believe in Bai Ye. He can do it well.”

Tan Tianxing whispered to Tan Xingxing.

“I understand.”

Tan Xingxing nodded.

Of course, she believed him.

However…

“Father, are you in danger? You must be careful.”

Although Tan Xingxing did not know what was going to happen and Tan Tianxing did not tell her, she was smart and quick-witted. She could roughly guess.

Tan Xingxing did not stop him because she knew that at least for now, they could have Bai Ye’s help..
