Tian Xuezhi nodded his head with relief, and then asked, "Where are the crown prince and other princes?"

 

"They went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to see His Majesty with many imperial concubines."

 

"That’s no good. All the princes went to see father and expressed their concern except for me. If I don’t visit father in time, I’m gonna leave a bad impression on him.”

 

Tian Xuezhi had gotten through many things, good or bad, during the last eighteen years, thus he was good at dealing with the rivalry among all the princes. Without some wits and tricks, he could not have lived a safe and sound life as an offspring of a concubine.

 

"Little Xu, get dressed for me right now, and I'll go to see my father."

 

 

At this moment, all the princes and imperial concubines were standing outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but no one dared to enter it.

 

The imperial physician ordered that people were not allowed to ruin the emperor’s rest, so they didn’t dare to be presumptuous. Although they were eager to take this opportunity to show loyalty and leave a good impression on Tian Juechen, they didn’t have the guts to disturb the emperor when he was resting.

 

Tian Juechen was lying on the couch with a pale look. Two imperial physicians were pressing their three fingers on his wrist to feel his pulse beat and understand his internal changes to diagnose disease.

 

"Here comes the crown prince!"

 

"Why did the crown prince come?" murmured Tian Juechen, and then he said to a eunuch, "Let him in!"

 

Tian Xuexi was wearing an orange robe and a golden crown. Anxiety and worry showed in his handsome face, "Father, are you all right?"

 

"There’s no need to worry, Your Highness. His Majesty was just scared, and he’s fine now." Murong Fengjian arched his arms and said to Tian Xuexi.

 

Tian Xuexi hurriedly replied, "Thank you for your hard work, teacher. Father, I heard that three foreign guards tried to assassinate you, and I was wondering what are you going to do with them?”

 

"What else can be done? General Tan got three of them and killed them on the spot. The other foreign envoys were imprisoned. Well, they dared to assassinate me, and I must tear their body limb from limb by five horses!” Tian Juechen trembled and shouted with rage.

 

Gong Liang, kneeling down, persuaded, "Please think again, Your Majesty. The bodyguards of foreign envoys dared to assassinate you, and this murder can be a capital offence. But we should never kill the foreign envoys. We may as well capture them to negotiate with the other three countries."

 

"Prime Minister, you should know that assassinating the emperor is a capital crime. Even foreign envoys must act according to our law since they’re in our country." Tian Xuexi said coldly.

 

"The crown prince is right. The other three countries even had the ball to kill me, which means they look down upon Dubhe Country. How can I bear with this? I give you orders to imprison the three envoys right now and behead them in three days as a warning to others. General Tan, I demand you to head one hundred thousand troops to crusade against the North. I must annihilate these damn tiny countries!”

 

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!" Shocked, Gong Liang went down on his knees and kowtowed to the emperor, "War is a great event, and we should play the long game. Now the world is at peace…"

 

"You’re wrong, prime minister Gong, these murderers will face the death penalty. If we don’t send out troops to wipe out the three countries, others are gonna laugh at the imperial prestige!" Murong Fengjian uttered with a calm look.

 

Glancing at Tian Juechen’s angry look, Gong Liang knew that the emperor was in a rage, and if he insisted to persuade, it didn’t work, so he had to stop talking.

 

Murong Fengjian looked up and spotted a man in armor quietly entered the hall. It was Tian Ying, his trusted follower.

 

Xiao Naihe walked to Murong Fengjian and looked around. Before he came in, he had heard the discussion of people outside the hall, so he knew what happened here.

 

"How's it going? Where’s Yun Weixue? "

 

"She has been arranged to rest in a residence, and didn’t suspect us." Xiao Naihe imitated Tian Ying’s voice and said.

 

Murong Fengjian lifted his eyelids to glance at Xiao Naihe.
