When Li Hong Yuan returned, his brothers saw that his complexion was seemingly unchanged. Unsure as to exactly what happened, they felt unbearably itchy inside, each and every one all unable to sit still, wanting to return to the capital, wanting to see whether or not things will develop as predicted.
However, if the living Enma doesnât say to disperse, then who can just that easily clap their hands and leave? Even if Jin Qinwang at present mightâve fallen into a predicament, who can guarantee that he wonât be able to once again get out of it unscathed. What if he was still just as âluckyâ as before? Then, âthrowing stonesâ at this time, wouldnât that just be waiting for him to settle the score after the fact?
As for whether or not they will offend Scholar Bai? Heheh, the Bai family was sensible and reasonable, scrupulously abiding by the rules, so even if offending, it was also just that. Besides, with this many people, what can the Bai family do? Would they even be able to cause trouble for them one by one? Their hatred right now was all directed at Jin Qinwang, so they donât have the mind to spare on them, no?
Thatâs why, they just need to be patient and quietly watch the play unfold.
This was just the so called, getting âbulliedâ because one was âkindâ?!
At first, that former cabinet minister of the Bai family didnât know that his only grandson had met with mishap. Once the body was lifted back, the entire manor fell into chaos, dark clouds pressing overhead. The masters were all grieving, while the servants were all âsorrowfulâ, as if that young master Bai alone just brought the entire family such a dark atmosphere. Never mind cheers and laughter, they didnât even dare to breathe loudly.
The former Cabinet Minister Bai also finally learned of this matter, getting his breath stuck in his throat, nearly just drawing his last breath.
It was inviting the imperial physicians, preparing the medicine, and so on, a complete frenzy.
And this matter, just like as if it had grown wings, very quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.
When Le Cheng Emperor learned of this matter, he was in the middle of reviewing memorandums, and just threw down the brush on the spot, smashing the folded books. The pressure points between his brows also pulsed with pain, âWhere is that bastard? Let him immediately enter the palace!â He uncontrollably roared.
The people in the palace practically stumbled out of the palace, and afterwards, learning that Jin Qinwang was still at the estate, how could they dare to slight, swiftly taking the horse out of the palace. Entering the estate and reaching the horse tracks, he understood from experience the Bai coupleâs grief and indignation. However, this inner court eunuch nevertheless didnât dare to say a single word. That bit of thought all got swiftly thrown out from his head. He didnât dare to let the living Enma come see him, so he could only go look for himself. In the extravagant private room, he saw the carefree and idle Jin Qinwang. That was being even more relaxed than the other wangyes. The eunuch strangely shivered inside, âThis servant greets all the wangyes.â
Li Hong Yuan simply didnât pay him any attention. The scene was somewhat stiff. The others looked to one another in dismay, but all didnât open their mouth, instead having their gaze turned towards Kang Qinwang. That meaning couldnât be more obvious. He was the eldest after all, so for times like this, it naturally should be him stepping forth.
Kang Qinwang inwardly cursed, a bunch of bastards. How come one donât see them this âmodestâ normally, not recalling that he was the eldest? He although wasnât very smart, he still knew that this while, whoever opens their mouth, that person might just get targeted by that bastard Li Hong Yuan, but he also couldnât just ignore it either. They didnât have the privilege to be âwillfulâ like Li Hong Yuan.
Kang Qinwang suppressed his anger as much as possible, not revealing his emotions, âFor Eunuch Dai to come, donât know what is the reason?â
This Eunuch Dai also wanted to curse. To still ask despite clearly knowing, sure enough, his Majestyâs sons, not a single one was a good thing. However, on the surface, he didnât dare to show it in the slightest. âReplying to wangye, his Majesty is summoning Jin Qinwang for an audience.â
Well then, since the name was mentioned, the others no longer involved themselves.
Unfortunately, the person that should cooperate still didnât cooperate, completely focused on the race.
Having opened his mouth and built the bridge, Kang Qinwang also just watched from the sidelines. Even if this inner court eunuch by his imperial fatherâs side wants to complain to his imperial father, he has already done what he could do. The rest naturally didnât have anything to do with him anymore.
The weather at present was currently pleasant, yet that inner court eunuchâs forehead nevertheless faintly filled with sweat. Delivering a message, this kind of job, if switch with anyone else, they these eunuchs were all very willing to take the trip, for the most part all able to receive large amounts of reward money. And only with Jin QinwangâââAlthough sometimes, when rewarding, Jin Qinwang might give a hundred times more than the others combined, Jin Qinwangâs temperament was nevertheless abnormal, his mood unstable. No one dared to gamble on his good mood for that reward money. Thatâs why, this errand, if able to avoid, then just avoid, and when unable to, one can only pray for good fortune.
Eunuch Dai hardened his head, âJin Qinwang, his Majesty let you quickly return to the capital and enter the palace.â
The living Enma was completely entranced, entirely ignoring everything else.
âWangye, Jin Qinwangyeâ¦â¦..â
âWhat are you crying for, take this prince as deaf?â Li Hong Yuan finally opened his mouth, sounding a bit chilly.
Eunuch Dai dropped onto the ground with a thud, âWangye please forgive, this servant, this servantâ¦â¦â¦.â
âEnough, once the race ends, this prince naturally will go see imperial father. You either shut up for this prince, or immediately get lost.â
Going back now without Jin Qinwang, nine times out of ten, his Majesty will lash out, and one will also because of oneâs âincompetenceâ get suppressed by the other opportunistic âcolleaguesâ. And staying behind to wait for Jin Qinwang to go back together, with his Majesty busy sorting out Jin Qinwang, he probably wonât have the leisure mood to question him. Just, staying behind had quite the risk.
After weighing the pros and cons, he still decided to stay behind, perceptively withdrawing to one side, becoming one with the background, striving to not get noticed by Jin Qinwang.
And Eunuch Daiâs conduct, once again provoked the other wangyes, because he was someone close to Le Cheng Emperor. Clearly the lowest existence, yet the others for the most part all needed to show a bit of courtesy, including them, these power wielding wangyes. Of course, although they were deferential, aside from this, there wasnât anything else. In any case, if you offend them, they perhaps will just say a few words in front of imperial father. However, Li Hong Yuan once again became a special case.
They feared him. In front of him, they were just like a dog, having themselves lowered into the mud. Perhaps even they themselves were all unaware that in a certain sense, their fear towards Li Hong Yuan already exceeded imperial father.
Anywhere and anytime, in all aspects, it seemingly all manifested the fact that Li Hong Yuan was a cut above them!
Clearly they were all the emperorâs son, but this enormous disparity in treatment, no matter who, and regardless of how they warn and advise themselves inside, afraid will still be unable to pacify.
Because they were powerless to change anything now, they can only scheme for the future. However, some among them also understood that their imagination for the future was also just a fantasy. In reality, they were unable to do anything and were nothing at all.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After the second round, everyone originally thought that it would end, yet unexpectedly, Li Hong Yuan let them take an hour break, before starting the third round, afterwards resting again before the final round. Towards those that werenât in the know, they werenât really that affected. In their eyes, even Jin Qinwang wasnât worried, so why should they worry. Things, no matter what, all wonât fall on their heads. Thus, they just continued on as usual. And those that knew the people by Le Cheng Emperorâs side have already come, one batch after another, on one hand they looked forward to Li Hong Yuan going even more overboard, thoroughly angering his Majesty, but on the other hand, they were also a bit like sitting on needles.
When the final round ended, Li Hong Yuan was finally willing to let people leave. Everyone all hurriedly rushed back to the capital. It was already almost time for the city gates to close, yet Li Hong Yuan was still nonchalant. By his side, Le Cheng Emperor had already sent the third wave of peopleâââYu Zhong Qing personally came with the imperial decree. Le Cheng Emperor again and again ordered for Li Hong Yuan to enter the palace, even issuing an imperial decree. This was something unprecedented. It was more than enough to see that matters have already escalated to an extraordinary level.
