Chapter 825: Getting into Trouble
Prime Minister Gao covered his face with his hands, looking stunned. He immediately retorted, "What do you mean by seven feet? My son is not seven feet tall."
"Your son is of similar height to the crown prince. The fact is right before our eyes. Why is Prime Minister Gao still trying to argue? Why don't you tell the emperor where the Penglai Fairy Mountain is?" Zhan Yi asked with some questioning tone.
"How do I know where it is?" Prime Minister Gao said, subconsciously looking at the emperor.
Emperor Beili was quite sensitive about the Penglai Fairy Mountain. As soon as Zhan Yi finished speaking, his eyes fell on Prime Minister Gao.
When their eyes met, Prime Minister Gao was instantly terrified and knelt down to kowtow, "Your Majesty, Zhan Yi is pure slander. How could I possibly possess the items from Penglai Mountain?"
Emperor Beili narrowed his eyes and said nothing, which almost scared Prime Minister Gao half to death.
"Your young master's height is proof of this. There has been no cure for dwarfism since ancient times. If it wasn't the medicine from Penglai Mountain, what else could it be?" Zhan Yi insisted.
Prime Minister Gao was terrified and turned to defend himself, "Years ago, the Prime Minister's Mansion hired a wandering doctor to treat my son..."
"What kind of medical skills can produce the medicine from Penglai Mountain? Prime Minister Gao, please stop making excuses. Everyone knows that Prime Minister Gao ran around looking for things from Penglai Mountain for your son many years ago. Didn't you send people to assassinate my granddaughter ten years ago? Wasn't it because of the yin and yang of Penglai Mountain?" Zhan Yi said lightly.
Prime Minister Gao cursed Zhan Yi a thousand times in his heart.
Penglai Fairy Mountain has always been the thing that the emperor wants most. Anyone who gets involved with it will be suspected. Zhan Yi, Zhan Yi, he will remember this!
There was a deep look in Sang Qi's eyes.
"Prime Minister Gao, who cured your son's dwarfism?" Emperor Beili spoke.
Prime Minister Gao shuddered all over and said in a trembling voice, "It was an old man from Jianghu who was invited many years ago. He is a very skilled doctor. He examined my son for a few days and prescribed some medicine."
"Where is this old man?" asked Emperor Beili.
"Your Majesty, I don't know. He only stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion for seven days before leaving. After that, I sent people to look for him, but found nothing." Prime Minister Gao said cautiously.
"Nothing?"
Emperor Beili stared down.
Prime Minister Gao's forehead was covered in sweat and he didn't dare to breathe.
"Your Majesty, please don't listen to his nonsense. Prime Minister Gao is a meticulous person. If he can really cure your young master, he will not let him leave so easily." Zhan Yi glanced at Prime Minister Gao.
Prime Minister Gao was furious: "Everything I said is true."
"Really? Didn't Prime Minister Gao just say that there are no capable people in the martial arts world? If they can cure your son's dwarfism, how can they not cure my granddaughter who was shot through the heart by an arrow?"
“…”
Prime Minister Gao glared at him fiercely.
"Dwarfism is rare in the world, and Master Gao has suddenly grown taller..." Zhan Yi paused and said, "I think it's probably a demon possessing him."
"...You are talking nonsense." Prime Minister Gao was furious.
Zhan Yi snorted coldly upon hearing this: "Prime Minister Gao, are you anxious now? When I was reasoning with you, you insisted on bringing up monsters. When I was fighting monsters with you, you actually spoke nonsense. Prime Minister Gao is the Prime Minister of a country after all. How can you speak so casually as if you were farting?"
"You...you..." Prime Minister Gao's fingers trembled and he couldn't even finish his words in anger.
Emperor Beili frowned and said, "Okay."
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Gao has deceived you and is trying to deceive you. Please investigate this matter." Zhan Yi kowtowed.
Prime Minister Gao opened his mouth for a long time, kowtowed, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "Your Majesty, I dare not."
