"Yes!" Sensing the anger in the emperor's tone, Eunuch Wen felt a chill. This time, Lord Sang had really angered the emperor. He was usually cautious and adept at understanding the emperor's intentions. What had happened this time?
He dared not ask any more questions and left in a hurry. The emperor was really angry now, so he didn't even dare to send other eunuchs to deliver the message. Instead, he went to carry it out himself and asked Zhu Xie Chixin to inform the delegation as soon as possible through the Embroidered-Robed Envoy.
As he hurried through the Imperial Garden, a clear and melodious voice suddenly came from beside him: "Eunuch Wen, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"
If it were anyone else asking the question, Eunuch Wen would probably be too anxious to even answer, but this time, he dared not be negligent in the slightest towards the person asking him: "Greetings, Crown Princess!"
Several palace maids surrounded a beautiful woman standing not far away; who else could it be but the Crown Princess, Bi Linglong?
Because there was nothing happening in the palace today, she did not wear her usual elaborate attire.
A simple emerald green jade hairpin is inserted into her hair bun. She wears a plain-colored long dress made of soft material, with an exquisite jade belt around her waist that gently outlines her figure. The whole dress is like a light and elegant cloud, making her figure even more graceful and charming.
A bright red fox fur shawl was draped over her shoulders, which made her fair face blush with a delicate rosy glow.
Despite seeing her frequently in the palace, Eunuch Wen still thought to himself, "The Crown Princess is truly an outstanding beauty."
Thinking of the Crown Prince's foolish appearance again, I felt a pang of regret, like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung.
However, he immediately lowered his head and suppressed this rebellious thought: "Your Highness, this old servant is going to see where Lord Sang's delegation is."
Bi Linglong nodded: "That's right, their delegation is indeed a bit strange. They should have returned long ago."
That guy from Zaun is a real bastard. We only met remotely through the video mirror before, but with so many people watching, we couldn't say many things, and we didn't even dare to chat much to avoid suspicion.
Later, she had officials from the Crown Prince's Palace write various letters to the mission to inquire about various matters, all under the guise of official business.
She believed that with Zuan's intelligence, he would definitely understand what she meant and would reply as soon as possible. Although it would definitely be about business, she would be happy to see his handwriting. Moreover, given that guy's personality, he would definitely have a way to pass on the message to her.
Who knew that the officials from the Eastern Palace had written countless letters to that side, all of which went unanswered.
Of course, it's not accurate to say that the letter disappeared without a trace, because I did receive quite a few replies, but those were either from Sang Hong or written by other people; not a single one was from Zu An!
A girl's mind is so strange. She rationally knows that even if the other party replies, they can't say anything, but she gets inexplicably angry when the other party doesn't write anything at all.
“The Crown Princess is right, the delegation’s pace is indeed unusually slow.” Eunuch Wen noticed that the delegation did not trouble the palace maids, but instead held up an exquisite umbrella themselves. The umbrella was printed with a few delicate yet elegant plum blossoms, which added a touch of vitality to the winter imperial garden.
He was taken aback at first. Although it was snowing lightly today, with the abilities of cultivators, the snow would be dispersed by their spiritual energy before it even reached their heads. Therefore, cultivators usually do not use umbrellas in this kind of weather, like him.
However, he quickly realized that it was just a young girl's love of beauty.
The Crown Princess is indeed very beautiful; holding an umbrella further accentuates her charming and graceful demeanor.
Suddenly, Eunuch Wen realized, "I'm a eunuch! Why should I care whether someone is pretty or not? Alas, what a sad story."
He then answered a few of Bi Linglong's questions before leaving in a hurry.
Bi Linglong looked northwest, lost in thought, her delicate eyebrows furrowing into a beautiful arc.
...
Achoo!
Zu An, far away in the demon royal palace, rubbed his nose, feeling a little strange. He was clearly very agitated, so why was he sneezing?
Feeling as if the energy within his body was about to boil, Zu An had an urge to continue venting, but he still had some sense of reason. Acting recklessly in the palace could easily lead to someone's death.
So he lightly touched the ground with his toes and quickly flew towards the mountains outside the royal court.
Meanwhile, back in the Golden Crow Ancestral Land, someone soon returned to report. Upon hearing this, several elders exclaimed in surprise, "The new divine weapon is in the Regent's hands?"
Soon, another elder named Wu Fan, known for his volatile temper, sneered: "The younger generation of the royal family has no shame these days. They actually sent out a weak human to suppress the entire situation and even made him regent. Can he lead the demon race to prosperity? He doesn't have that ability..."
Hearing him launch into a long tirade, almost to the point of attacking the new Demon Emperor, the Grand Elder felt a little embarrassed, after all, he had witnessed yesterday's events: "That kid isn't so weak after all, he even killed several Grandmasters yesterday."
"Hmph, I've heard you say that in the end, it's all thanks to the power of the Sun-Shooting Bow. He's just a little guy who just broke through to the Grandmaster Heroic Spirit Realm," Elder Wu Fan sneered.
“But he also killed Mr. Bat of the vampire clan with his bare hands, almost as if it were a single, casual encounter,” another elder countered, who was also present last night.
"Although Mr. Bat has a notorious reputation, he absorbs people's life essence and power everywhere. His cultivation is mixed and impure. The more he absorbs, the more likely he is to encounter the conflict and repulsion of different energies. In the end, he will inevitably suffer the fate of going into a demonic state and dying. In my opinion, last night just happened to be the moment when he went into a demonic state, and that kid got lucky." Wu Fan analyzed with great conviction.
“But… what a coincidence!” another elder questioned.
"Then let me ask you, can you kill Mr. Bat in one move?" Wu Fan retorted.
At this moment, the others fell silent. In fact, some of them could defeat Mr. Bat in one move. After all, he was an old relic of the demon royal family with unfathomable depth.
But Mr. Bat is not a master of the righteous path; he is a villain who has fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Such a guy is absolutely first-rate at surviving. They are confident that they can defeat him in one move, but they cannot guarantee that they can kill him in one move.
“That works,” Wu Fan scoffed when he heard the others remain silent. “If we eliminate all the impossibilities, then the remaining possibilities, no matter how incredible, are the truth.”
Even the Grand Elder was somewhat convinced by him: "This kid is indeed lucky. At such a young age, he already has two divine artifacts in his hands."
Wu Fan snorted coldly: "I don't think it's a good thing. To possess two divine weapons at such a young age is like a child carrying a lot of money and parading around in the city. It will inevitably bring trouble. I will take action and take back his divine weapons, which will save his life."
The Grand Elder frowned: "After all, he has now been appointed Regent, so it wouldn't be appropriate to just seize him directly."
"The Sun-Shooting Bow was originally a divine weapon of our demon royal family. It was only through the old demon emperor that it was returned. It is only reasonable for us to take it back now," Wu Fan sneered. "At such a young age, he holds the high position of regent and wields two divine weapons?"
"Such an arrogant person will not be allowed to exist in the royal court!"
