Looking at the Grand Preceptor Changxu, who was bowing his head in agreement, Emperor Chongjin suddenly realized something.
The Imperial Advisor? The Imperial Advisor is nothing more than a mortal subject. Most enlightened masters have long since retreated to the mountains and forests or ascended to immortality. So what are they anyway?
The Huo family, the imperial clan, has been suppressed by the imperial advisor for far too long.
Emperor Chongjin narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand to stop Dejiang from chanting the rites, and then turned and left without making a sound, as if he had never been there, tacitly accepting Huo Chengche's suppression of the Grand Preceptor Changxu.
Dejiang quickly called the eunuchs to follow, and looking at Emperor Chongjin's back, he vaguely felt that something sharp and fierce was emerging.
After Huo Chengche finished speaking, his deep, unfathomable gaze pressed heavily on the Grand Preceptor of Changxu, sharp as a blade, each stroke a slow, agonizing cut.
National Preceptor Changxu was already drenched in cold sweat; he had never experienced such suppression since taking office.
However, when he looked up and met Huo Chengche's cold and sharp eyes, which were like those of the King of Hell, the words that were about to come out of his mouth were unconsciously scared away.
Huo Chengche withdrew his gaze, glanced indifferently at the concubines and princesses around him, and snorted coldly, which could be regarded as his dissatisfaction with their loss of royal integrity.
At this moment, the little boy looked up at the Grand Tutor, who was constantly wiping away cold sweat, and huffed. With a stern face and a grown-up tone, he asked in a childish but fierce voice, "Do you know you were wrong? Good adults can't lie, understand?"
That soft, gentle tone of voice, upon closer listening, was clearly the way her gentle and sweet sister Zhuangyou spoke when she was being stern. Her soft, sweet little voice made her sound playful and adorable.
The suffocating atmosphere, which had been made to feel like Huo Chengche was barely able to breathe, was immediately broken by a little cutie who was completely unaffected.
Even the Imperial Preceptor Changxu glanced gratefully at the little boy, though he clearly remembered that the one who caused his current miserable state was this strange little ancestor.
This little kid, could he be possessed by a spirit?!
The Grand Preceptor Changxu clearly remembered how formidable this little rascal was. Unlike Cheng Yilan, who was foolish enough to learn her lesson after being tormented by this little rascal once, he dared not be perfunctory with the little brat at all this time.
Grand Preceptor Changxu smiled kindly and replied with a smile, "Very well! Grand Preceptor, you will certainly be careful with your words next time!"
Actually, he was still cautious and did not admit that he was talking nonsense, but only vaguely said "be careful what you say".
Huo Chengche did not intend to punish the Grand Preceptor Changxu in public based on this one incident alone.
He glanced at the concubines and princesses around him. When they looked at the Grand Preceptor Changxu now, they no longer had the deep fear that they had shown just moments before, when they didn't even dare to look him in the eye.
Having achieved his goal, Huo Chengche no longer pursued the matter of the Grand Preceptor Changxu. In any case, he was already doomed from the moment he conspired with the consort of Princess Linhuang to refine children; it was only a matter of time.
"Since the Imperial Preceptor has sincerely admitted his mistake, let him take it as a warning. The Imperial Preceptor must have other matters to attend to, right? Go and get busy. I should also take Niannian and... cough, Niannian and Changyin and Wenlian to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager."
Huo Chengche almost blurted out "Niannian and her two younger sisters" again, but he remembered clearly the last time he said it, when the little boy looked so wronged that his eyes were red. Sure enough, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and hastily changed his words.
