Life-Robbing Consort - C21

At this moment, Ru Feng really didn’t want to go to the Wordless School, but the first rank official had come, so he had no right to refuse. He had no choice but to brace himself and return to the Wordless Pavilion.

The Wordless Pavilion’s silence was terrifying.

Ru Feng went to the inner chamber but didn’t find Xuanyuan Yun. He turned around and went to the courtyard but didn’t find Xuanyuan Yun either. Finally, he saw him in a pavilion.

Swiftly running over, Rufeng quickly said, “My lord, the officials who have issued the decree have arrived. They are currently outside the door, and they are ranked first among the courtiers. There are a total of five of them.”

As soon as he finished his words, he felt a bone-piercing cold wind blowing towards him from all directions like sharp blades.

The golden carp in the pond closest to Xuanyuan Feng had already turned over.

Like the wind, the head was lowered to the lowest point, any lower would be buried in the ground.

If it was in the past, Xuanyuan Wentian would have warned him before remaining silent. But now, even if he was beaten to death, he did not dare to make a single sound.

After an unknown period of time, just as Ru Feng felt that he was about to become a statue, Xuanyuan Feng finally spoke up.

“Let them in.”

Ru Feng responded quickly, turned around, and ran out. It wasn’t until they had run three steps that Ru Feng realized what his master had said.

Let them in?

The prince was already so angry, yet he still allowed them to enter. Shouldn’t he blast them out?

Based on the current situation, no matter what the regent said, they had to do it immediately. Even if the prince wanted to pick the stars in the sky, they had to tie their bodies full of fireworks and light them up, doing their best to escape into the sky.

Ru Feng quickly ran to the entrance of the mansion and led the five first rank officials to the pavilion where Xuanyuan Yu was.

These five ministers were no fools. When they entered the mansion, the first thing they felt was that something was off. When they arrived at Xuanyuan Po’s pavilion, they already knew the gist of the situation.

Needless to say, this terrifying aura originated from the imperial edict in their hands.

The five ministers had never wanted to read such an imperial edict. They knew that this was a great humiliation to the regent, but the imperial edict was the imperial edict. They could not disobey it.

In the end, someone had to come forward, and the first one to do so, the first to speak was Master Wang Sheng, first to take a step forward, his gaze serious as he forgot to look at Xuanyuan Yun who was standing in the pavilion, and said with a voice full of profoundness.

“Regent, we are ordered to read the imperial edict.”

Xuanyuan Po, who had been standing in the middle of the pavilion without moving, slowly turned around when he heard Wang Sheng’s words.

“Sir Wang, there’s no need for you to announce this decree. Bring the other four sirs back.”

Wang Sheng froze. This …

Wang Sheng turned around and sneaked a glance at the other four standing beside him. Everyone’s eyes were filled with a look of disbelief.

Wang Sheng had no choice but to open his mouth again, “Regent, we are here at the orders of the Emperor. If we don’t read this decree, wouldn’t it be a disgrace to the Emperor’s order? When that happens, the head will be lost.”

Header on Item…

When he heard these words, Xuanyuan Yun suddenly let out a cold laugh. This smile was like ten thousand year old ice, frozen to the marrow of one’s bones. Xuanyuan Yan’s narrowed and terrifying eyes slowly looked towards Wang Sheng and the others.

“If you can’t read the imperial edict and your head falls off, can you really read the imperial edict and keep your head?”

Xuanyuan Yun’s words were like a frozen blade that stabbed straight into the hearts of Wang Sheng and the rest.

The five of them trembled. That’s right, how could they have forgotten that this Regent before them was even more terrifying than the Emperor?

Back in the day, when the million strong army pressed down on the land, he led 100,000 men to slaughter seven cities. In the end, the enemy troops were so scared that they didn’t even need food and directly fled.

Now that the world was at peace, they seemed to have forgotten that Xuan Yuan was a bloodthirsty royal blood, but no matter how much they forgot, the eagle was still an eagle, the tiger was still a tiger, and the flood dragon was still a flood dragon!

“Prince, we …”

“Scram back.”

“…”

“Yes.”

One of the ministers standing next to Wang Sheng gave him a harsh tug, while answering directly for him.

Wang Sheng looked at him with hesitation in his eyes. The minister glared fiercely at him.

“You’re crazy. Didn’t you see that the Regent has already decided to kill me? Let’s go!”

“But if we leave just like that, what should we do with the Emperor …”

“Let’s go find a way to deal with the Emperor. If we leave now, we can still live. If we don’t leave now, we really will have to go see the King of Hell. Let’s go.”

Wang Sheng was dragged away from the Residence of Regent by the others.

In less than half a day’s time, it had already spread to the entire continent, and all of them had been in an uproar. Xuanyuan Feng and Wei Lanyi had become the biggest topic of discussion for everyone, and had also become the biggest laughing stock.

After the five of them returned to the palace, they ran to the royal study room while crying and shouting.

Xuanyuan Hongxi, who was still reading the imperial reports at that time, was completely stunned.

He had never seen his own first rank officials cry like concubines, and not just one, but five.

At that time, the whole royal study room echoed and the few of them cried until they were out of breath.

From their intermittent narration, Xuanyuan Hongxi had finally figured out why they were crying so miserably. They hadn’t even read out the decree, and had already been scared back by Xuanyuan Wentian.

Xuanyuan Hongxi threw out the brush in his hand, “Trash, you can’t even announce your dao decree, yet you still have the face to cry at my place. Scram, get lost! Go home and face the wall for one month and each of you will be punished for one year.”

After leaving the royal study, all five of them touched their tears. Today, they had lost all of their face, a man had become their daughter-in-law, it would be hard to see them in public if word of this got out.

But then again, if they didn’t cry so desperately, they wouldn’t be able to keep their lives. The five of them sighed and felt like they had been reborn, so they went home to think.

In the royal study, Xuanyuan Hongxi tightly clenched his fists.

“Xuanyuan, he actually dared to disobey the decree!”

He had thought that Xuanyuan Wentian would be angry and unwilling, but no matter what, he had never thought that Xuanyuan Wentian would directly go against the order!

What? Is he trying to rebel or is he looking down on the Emperor?!

Gao Yuan, who was beside Xuanyuan Hongxi, silently picked up the brush that Xuanyuan Hongxi had thrown far away.

On the way to pick up the brush, Gao Yuan couldn’t help but feel lucky. Luckily, he didn’t go to the Regent’s Mansion to announce the decree. If it were him, the Regent would have grabbed his head without hesitation.

Just as Gao Yuan put the brush that Xuanyuan Hongxi had thrown back into its original place, he heard Xuanyuan Hongxi’s cold command.

“Gao Yuan, go to the Residence of Regent. Order the Regent to meet you immediately!”

“Yes.”

Gao Yuan immediately responded, but the tone of his voice clearly changed. It seemed that he could not avoid it no matter how much he dodged.
