Chapter 781 - the heaven-defying canopy, the power of fate
I Transmigrated As A Prison Guard And Suppressed The Princess
âGo wash your hands.â
âYes.â Xiao ran responded.
After washing his hands, he sat on the chair.
Xiao Wu and Tian Peng carried the two desserts and ran away.
âThese two guys.â Xiao ran scolded him jokingly.
âQuickly eat! If you donât eat now, the food will get cold and wonât taste good. â Zi âer passed him a pair of chopsticks.
After dinner.
Xiao ran stood up from his chair.âIâm going to work.â
âYes.â Zi âer touched his forehead.
Xiao ran waved his hand and left.
He left the Vermillion Bird Market and walked towards the divine sword guards.
At this point.
Shen Yiming and the others had been waiting for a long time. When Xiao Zhou saw him, he quickly pulled out a chair for Xiao ran to sit down.
She placed the teacup in front of him.
âThe matter has been decided.â
Reading on Mybo xn o v el. com ,Please!
Xiao ran took the teacup, took a sip, and said,âtell me in detail.â
âTodayâs morning court session was just as we expected. The court was quarreling like dogs. If it was easy to make a move, they would have already started fighting.â Shen Yiming sighed.
âFor the sake of a position, everyoneâs faces turned red. Some even rolled up their sleeves and pointed at each other while cursing. It was really exciting, even more exaggerated than a market.â
âAnd then?â Xiao ran smiled.
âThe Eight Immortals crossing the sea each showed their own abilities. Just like us, they had already discussed yesterday which position to take. If they couldnât take this position, they would take another. After arguing for nearly four hours, the matter was finally settled.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
âThe positions of the God Slayer sectâs divine Constable and the sacred Martial Arts departmentâs martial Lord have been taken by someone else. Iâm not sure whoâs behind this, but Iâve forgotten about the Daoist priest. At that time, there were many people who opposed it. Fortunately, Lord Fu and Lord Guâs faction strongly supported it, so the matter was settled. â
He asked in return.
âWhatâs going on with Shi Ming and Gu qiuhe?â
âIâll let her take action. â Xiao ran said.
Shen Yiming knew who she was referring to.
Xiao Zhouâs eyes widened, and he said in an exaggerated manner,âbrother Xiao, you ...â
Bang! Bang!
Xiao ran waved his hand and knocked a chestnut on his head.
âJust drink your tea.â
âHowever, the one who benefited the most this time is still Emperor Sheng Wen! According to my guess, one of them must be his man, and the other must be recommended by the Three Ducal Ministers. No one knows the exact situation. â Shen Yiming said.
âAfter this, the power structure of the Imperial court will be reshuffled.â Xiao ran sighed.
âYup!â Shen Yiming felt the same.
âFortunately, we didnât lose anything this time. Although there wasnât any reward, Daoist priest managed to rise to the top in a single bound. He was transferred to the God Slayer sect as the Vice divine Constable. Weâve already earned a lot.â
He looked at Daoist priest Xuan Yang.
âTreat?â
âThe boundless deity.â Daoist priest Xuan Yang read out the Daoist name with a serious expression.
The topic changed.
âThe drunken immortal court will treat you for a month. As long as youâre not afraid of ruining your own body, I donât lack this bit of money.â
Xiao ran and the others were all amused.
âThis matter has been resolved. We havenât gathered together for a long time. How about we go to the drunken immortal court for a cup of tea tonight? And also celebrate the promotion of the Taoist priest? Call Shi Ming, Gu qiuhe, Lao Bai and the rest too. â
âShi Ming, forget it. You already have a family, itâs not good to go to the drunken immortal court.â Xiao ran shook his head.
âAlright! Itâs decided then. Iâll inform them later. â
He thought of another matter.
âHave you heard?â
âWhat is it?â Xiao ran asked.
âNinth Prince.â Shen Yimingâs smile disappeared, and his expression turned serious.
âLast night, a ghost king broke into the ninth Princeâs residence and tried to assassinate him, but he failed! However, the ninth Prince was still heavily injured, and his intestines were about to flow out. It looked like he wouldnât be able to survive. However, before he died, he wanted to see your Majesty one last time and was later brought into the palace. There is still no news from the palace. â
âWho saved him?â
Shen Yiming shook his head.âI donât know!â
âAccording to the Imperial Dragon Holy guards, a burst of Yin Qi appeared and they all fainted. When they woke up again, the ninth Prince was covered in blood. He crawled out of the hall and said his last words before fainting. Only he knows what happened.â
âGet people to pay more attention. I have a feeling that this matter isnât so simple.â Xiao ranâs expression turned grave after pondering for a moment.
âThere must be something wrong with this abnormal situation. I think the same as you. This matter is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.â Shen Yiming agreed.
âWhen will the Taoist take office?â
âAll the procedures will only be completed in three days.â
âYes.â Xiao ran responded.
After they finished talking business, the four of them chatted casually.
The Imperial Palace.
In the Imperial study.
Emperor Sheng Wen sat on the Dragon Throne and sipped his tea. Todayâs morning court session was completely under his control. Just as Xiao ran and Shen Yiming had guessed, he was the one who benefited the most.
Of the empty positions, half of them were taken by his own people.
As for the remaining half, it was divided among them.
âYour Majesty, please have some tea.â Eunuch Zhu handed over the snow ginseng tea that he had brewed.
He closed the lid, took a sip, and handed the cup to him.
âIs old nine awake?â
âI just woke up! The imperial physician said that he doesnât have long to live and that he might not be able to survive today. â Eunuch Zhu said honestly.
âYou still havenât investigated clearly?â Emperor Sheng Wen asked.
He was referring to who had attacked.
âThe clues left at the scene are limited. In addition, the ghost king is dead. The people from the shadow Department have been investigating with all their might, but they still havenât found a single clue.â Eunuch Zhu said.
Tapping his index finger on the Dragon Throne, Emperor Sheng Wen narrowed his eyes and wondered who did it.
The eldest or the second? Or third brother?
He shook his head.
It didnât matter who did it. What was important was that ninth brother couldnât hold on much longer.
âThe Gu family and the fu family have joined forces.â
Eunuch Zhu didnât know how to respond to this, and just like eunuch Liang, he lowered his head.
âZhenâs good sister has also intervened. She actually helped them get two insignificant positions and sent people to investigate. Zhen wants to know the specific reason, or else I wonât be able to sleep and eat in peace. â
âItâs Your Majesty!â Eunuch Zhu replied respectfully.
He looked at them.
âI want to go see him one last time?â
Eunuch Zhu was very sly. He kicked the ball back to Emperor Sheng Wen.âI am only Your Majestyâs servant. Whether it is family or business, I only bring my eyes and not my mouth.â
Emperor Sheng Wen couldnât find any fault with his desire to survive.
There was a moment of silence.
Emperor Sheng Wen still stood up from the Dragon Throne and looked at the sky outside. He sighed and said,âno matter what, he is my child. Since he wants to see me one last time before he dies, I will satisfy him!â
