On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness Chapter 916 - Capítulo 916: 916: The Expert Meets the Empero

Capítulo 916: Chapter 916: The Expert ets the Emperor

Consort Xian’s mind is not one that ordinary people can compare to.

Thinking of this, Ling Lang said, “I was thinking of quickly producing the Elixir of Immortality, so as to find the Master. With this, when the Master cos to the capital city, they can quickly use this elixir.”

Consort Xian nodded at last, “You are thoughtful, but I have already sent soone else there.”

Ling Lang was taken aback. Yesterday, he had already discovered that Consort Xian had sent a trusted aide to invite that person.

At this mont, hearing Consort Xian personally confirm it, validated the accuracy of the information he investigated last night.

Seeing “Ghost Face” pause, Consort Xian added, “You need not be surprised, just patiently wait these few days. When your Master cos to the capital city, you’ll be rewarded according to your rits then.”

After saying this, Consort Xian laughed out loud.

Seeing her confident and assertive smile, Ling Lang lowered his head, “Princess, you and the Master will surely achieve your desire!”

The four words “rewarded according to rits” from Consort Xian greatly shocked Ling Lang inside and imdiately connected them to Consort Xian wanting the Seventh Prince to ascend to the throne, probably referring to this matter.

He followed her words with “achieve your desire,” surely he wasn’t mistaken.

Indeed, Consort Xian was pleased to hear it and waved him away.

Ling Lang left the Imperial Palace and, as before, went to the inn to rest, ensuring no one was following him before returning to the Eastern Palace to report.

After a period of ti, the capital city was peaceful and quiet.

On this day, Leng Yu Yan accompanied Ye Yiheng in the bamboo forest of the Eastern Palace, tasting tea.

Usually during this ti, from ti to ti, Hidden Guards would report the matters.

Today was exceptionally quiet.

Leng Yu Yan knew the more serene it was, the more it signified the wave of disputes was about to arrive.

“Your Highness, what Consort Xian said about rewarding according to rits indicates a major plot, but currently, there are no traces of any private army movents around the capital.”

This was what perplexed her the most.

Ye Yiheng knitted his handso brows, “I also feel it’s strange.”

Currently, Fourth and Seventh are behaving very obediently, especially Seventh, now quiet as a quail, with his head down, not saying a word.

The military generals in the capital are also totally behaving.

Leng Yu Yan poured tea for Ye Yiheng and gently said, “Since it’s a major affair, it must be related to the throne. In such a matter, bloodshed is inevitable. The current peace is extrely bizarre, Your Highness, we must be cautious!”

Ye Yiheng raised his teacup and sipped lightly, speaking leisurely, “I have already ordered the Hidden Guards to remain alert to the movents around the capital city at all tis.”

At this mont, Qiubo hurriedly arrived.

“Your Highnesses, carrier pigeon ssage!”

Ye Yiheng turned his head, “Carrier pigeon ssage?”

“Yes, Your Highness, it’s precisely written by Chun Liu and Dong Yan.”

Qiubo presented the ssage to Leng Yu Yan.

Leng Yu Yan extracted the paper from the small bamboo tube, unfolded it, and the more she looked, the more her brows furrowed tightly.

Calculating the days, today marks over ten days since Chun Liu and Dong Yan followed An Shiqi and An Ershijiu to Xiqiong.

Seeing her solemn expression, Ye Yiheng raised his arm and took the paper from her hand to read.

The characters on the paper were small but very clear.

[During the battle years back, there was indeed support from Ximo behind Xiqiong. According to investigations, the mysterious person assisting Xiqiong from Ximo is highly skilled in warfare and very knowledgeable about Tiancheng.]

Having read it, Ye Yiheng placed the paper on the table, “The letter doesn’t ntion who the mysterious person is, showing they were still investigating before the ssage was sent.”

Leng Yu Yan raised her eyes, “Brother died in a completely unprepared state. At the ti, upon learning this, I speculated about whether it was the act of an internal traitor. Now, according to what Chun Liu and Dong Yan wrote, it further confirms that my brother died at the hands of soone familiar.”

Ye Yiheng gathered his brows, speaking calmly, “Ximo has coveted Tiancheng Country’s lands for a long ti, their people valiant in martial arts, skilled in warfare are nurous. Given that the West Desert Princess once admired King Yong, many n who admired the West Desert Princess also studied Tiancheng culture and customs at that ti.”

“In this case, to find the murderer is still quite challenging?” Leng Yu Yan asked urgently.

Ye Yiheng consoled, “Be patient for a while longer. When An Shiqi and the others return, maybe there will be results.”

Leng Yu Yan nodded, but she knew well that Chun Liu and Dong Yan understood her eagerness to know the truth, which is why they sent the carrier pigeon ssage. If An Shiqi and the others investigate further, it won’t deviate much from what’s currently written on the paper.

At this mont in the Imperial Palace.

Consort Xian brought a man disguised as a eunuch into Chenglan Palace.

After the two had a secret eting in Chenglan Palace for an hour, Consort Xian took a small brocade box and led the man to the Emperor’s bedchamber.

Upon seeing Consort Xian arrive, Eunuch Ma softly said, “Princess, the Emperor is currently taking his midday rest. Would you like to co back later?”

Consort Xian laughed, “The expert the Emperor wanted to find earlier, I have now found. Since the Emperor is resting, the expert can be seen later.” As she spoke, her voice grew louder, “Does the Emperor only want to rest and not strive for longevity?”

Ye Yuan, who was resting with eyes closed on the dragon bed, heard this and called out, “What matter is causing disturbance?”

“Emperor, I have brought the expert here.”

Consort Xian bypassed Eunuch Ma and led the man into the bedroom.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor sat up, and Eunuch Ma imdiately entered the bedroom as well.

The palace maids promptly lifted and arranged the bed canopy.

With the action of raising the bed canopy, the Emperor saw an unfamiliar eunuch beside Consort Xian.

Seeing the Emperor’s confusion, Consort Xian pointed at the man and explained, “I had the expert disguise as a eunuch to enter the Imperial Palace, lest the Crown Prince’s n saw him.”

The Emperor frowned, “How does this involve the Crown Prince?”

Consort Xian said with grievance, “Recently, the Emperor keeps calling the Crown Prince to review petitions, isn’t this equivalent to handing national affairs over to the Crown Prince? Given this, the Crown Prince must have eyes and ears everywhere. If he knew I invited an expert here, and suspected I might harm the Emperor, then the Emperor wouldn’t be able to see the expert.”

The Emperor rose with the assistance of Eunuch Ma, he wanted to say he was rely ordering the Crown Prince to handle affairs.

But before outsiders, as a nation’s Emperor, maintaining dignity was essential, so he didn’t explain the matter of reviewing petitions, only asked, “Is this the expert?”

Consort Xian nodded with a smile, addressing the man, “Quickly remove the eunuch’s clothes and formally et the Emperor.”

The man complied, placing the brocade box aside, then swiftly untied his garnts, revealing a Daoist robe.

The Emperor stared at the man, watching him take off the human skin mask on his face, revealing a long gray-white beard. Even his eyebrows were silver, long and hanging down, while his face had few wrinkles, indeed appearing with an immortal deanor.

The Emperor asked in surprise, “Is this the expert claiming to be over two hundred years old as Consort Xian ntioned before?”

Consort Xian smiled, “That’s correct, he’s the expert!”

The Emperor nodded repeatedly and gestured invitingly, “Immortal, please sit!”

The man glanced at the Emperor indifferently, took the brocade box, and sat down aside.

The Emperor had already noticed the “expert” holding the brocade box, so he asked with a smile, “May I ask what is contained within this box?”

“It’s rely the pills I usually take.” The man placed the brocade box down again, opening the lid, “I only brought seven for this trip.”

Consort Xian added, “Emperor, what the expert says is modest. The brocade box contains the elixir of immortality!”

Upon hearing this, the Emperor happily rubbed his hands together, hesitated for a mont, then walked to the man’s side.

“If the expert can indeed let achieve immortality, Tiancheng would be willing to honor you as the State Preceptor!”
