Chapter 559 Facilitating Good Things

As soon as the Northern Qi Emperor spoke.

The hall was silent.

There was only the heavy breathing of the Northern Qi Emperor, which was both dull and oppressive.

The Imperial Preceptor leaned back in his chair leisurely, his dark eyes staring at the Northern Qi Emperor. No matter how hard the Northern Qi Emperor tried to control his emotions, a hint of hostility still showed through his eyes.

After just one glance, the Imperial Teacher withdrew his gaze: "I've known this from the beginning." Then, he added: "This child cannot be raised in Northern Qi."

These words were like a drop of water falling into a boiling oil pan and instantly exploded.

"In your eyes, my offspring are no different from the dust on your sleeves. How could you care about their life or death?" The Northern Qi Emperor was furious and said, "I knew that Prince Guangling was the bastard offspring of you and Yizhen."

Faced with the accusations of the Northern Qi Emperor, the imperial teacher fell silent.

This seemingly tacit reaction hit the Emperor of Northern Qi hard, and he was unable to accept this reality for a while.

Even before this, he had already made up his mind.

Zhao Yi is the descendant of the emperor's teacher.

But when the Emperor really acknowledged him, he hoped that all this was fake.

Anyone can betray him except the Imperial Master.

"Why don't you explain?" The Northern Qi Emperor was extremely agitated. He pressed his hands tightly against his swollen and aching chest, breathing rapidly. "Explain yourself! Aren't you eloquent? I believe everything you say."

The imperial teacher watched him go crazy indifferently and never responded.

But the more the Imperial Preceptor acted as if he could let the Northern Qi Emperor do whatever he wanted, the more he drove the Northern Qi Emperor insane. He lay in bed, unable to move, staring at the Imperial Preceptor with bloodshot eyes.

"I will rule Northern Qi with you, give you supreme power, and trust you completely." The Northern Qi Emperor could not bear this blow. He was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged. He asked ferociously, "Why did you do this? Why did you betray me? If you like Yizhen, just tell me, I..."

"Your Majesty," the Imperial Tutor interrupted the Northern Qi Emperor, unwilling to hear his final, unpleasant words. He asked, "Your Majesty, do you still remember when the late Emperor intended to dethrone you from the Crown Prince position and reprimanded you in the palace? You were feeling down at the time, and you happened to run into Prince Xian at the palace gate. He invited you to a gathering at Canghua Tower, and I blocked three glasses of wine for you?"

Logically speaking, the Emperor of Northern Qi should have forgotten such a thing that happened so long ago.

But he could not forget this incident, not only because it was the third time that the late emperor had thought of deposing the crown prince, but also because he truly realized at that time that if he caused the late emperor's dissatisfaction again, no matter how omnipotent the imperial teacher was, he would probably not be able to keep his position as crown prince.

So he was very anxious and had a lot of pent-up emotions that needed to be released. That's why he ignored the imperial teacher's obstruction and went to Canghua Tower with Prince Xian to appreciate the flowers.

But this flower is not that flower. The building is full of beautiful women, and they are free to pick them.

Prince Xian has always been a carefree person, so why would he go to some respectable places?

But he had just committed a crime, so how could he dare to come and enjoy himself? If someone saw him and reported him to the late emperor, he would have no hope of becoming crown prince.

He was about to leave.

The Prince of Idleness said this place was secluded, inaccessible to ordinary people, and he was sure no one would recognize him. If he just left like that, it would be too disrespectful. According to the rules of the underworld, he had to drink three cups of wine.

He was in a hurry to leave, and without saying a word, he picked up a wine glass, but the imperial teacher took it away and drank three glasses on his behalf.

Normally, the Imperial Master never drank alcohol, but after three glasses of wine, his jade-white face turned red in an instant, and he left in a daze.

Recalling this, how could the Emperor of Northern Qi not understand that the alcohol in that kind of place could not be clean?

At first he thought that the Imperial Teacher was just drunk, but he didn't know that he was also contaminated with other dirty things.

Perhaps it was because of this that Yizhen and the Imperial Preceptor got together by accident?
