Chapter 1077: The Truth Behind the Scenes

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiao Shunyang was really unlucky.

His group had been chased by bandits for a month en route to the Southern Wilderness. When he finally arrived at the capital, he was thrown into a sack to be a mine slave for two months.

After returning, he thought that she could finally expose the Wei family’s true colors. Who would have thought that his title as King Rui would be gone first?

Atter experiencing this, Emperor Jing Xuan felt uncomfortable. He held back his displeasure and said a few words to comfort the Wei family before announcing the withdrawal of the court.

The civil and military officials went forward to congratulate Wei Xu and his son. Someone also came over to greet “Zhuge Qing”.

Fifteen minutes later, the ministers had to return to their respective offices to do their work. Only then could the five of them finally come out of the throne room.

Zhuge Qing had been pushed in by the imperial guards just now. Now, the imperial guards had long left.

They would put on a show until the end.

Wei Xu glared at his eldest son. “Push Mr. Zhuge out.”

Under the suppression of his father’s bloodline, Ghostfear walked over unwillingly and pushed Ling Yun’s wheelchair. Ling Yun lay back in his chair leisurely.

“Too fast.” “Too slow.”

“It’s too bumpy.”

“The groove is too deep. Carry the chair over.”

Ghostfear wanted to kill someone!

The father and sons followed behind.

Wei Ting asked Wei Qing, “Second Brother, are you alright after that palm strike just now?”

Wei Qing’s martial arts had indeed been crippled. It was the remaining burning aura in his body. Although it tortured his body day and night, it also preserved a trace of his internal energy.

Wei Xu absorbed the burning qi and transferred his internal strength back into his body, allowing him to preserve his foundation in martial arts.

However, it was not so easy to train it back.

The palm strike he threw out had probably exhausted all his internal energy.

Wei Qing said, “It’s just a palm strike mg. It’s fine.”

He would be exposed after a few more slaps.

Wei Ting looked around to make sure that no one was following them. He asked in a low voice, “Do you think it’s strange that Emperor Jing Xuan knows Second Brother’s identity? Did we accidentally expose something?”

Wei Qing recalled carefully and said, “We’ve been very careful since we returned to the capital. We didn’t reveal any flaws on the way to the Southern Wilderness. Logically speaking, it’s impossible for us to be discovered. Unless… there’s someone behind Emperor Jing Xuan who has noticed me since the Western Jin.”

When Wei Qing was in the Western Jin Dynasty, someone had insisted he was Wei Qing, although Guo Lingxi had testified and denied that Zhuge Qing was Wei Qing.

However, if the Western Jin Emperor could guess, perhaps there was a second person who could.

“Could it be the Western Jin Emperor?” Wei Liulang asked.

“No,” Wei Qing said firmly.

If the Western Jin Emperor really wanted to deal with him, he would not have let him go and even give him the Dragon Spring Sword.

To him, the Western Jin Emperor was a monarch, an elder, and a confidant.

He and the Western Jin Emperor had a mutual understanding.

Wei Ting said, “If it’s from the Western Jin, I’m afraid there’s a hidden force beside the Western Jin Emperor.”

Wei Qing thought so too. “I’ll write a letter later and get someone to send it to the Western Jin at full speed to remind His Majesty to be vigilant.”

Wei Ting added, “Remind the Princess of the Western Jin and Yuwen Huai.”

“Yes.” Wei Qing nodded.

Wei Ting pondered and said, “There are dark forces intervening in the Southern Wilderness, the Great Zhou, and the Western Jin. It doesn’t look like a coincidence. ”

Wei Liulang frowned and said, “Isn’t the Southern Wilderness royal family colluding with the Assassin Alliance? Could it be that the person behind Emperor Jing Xuan is also from the Assassin Alliance?”

Wei Qing shook his head. “It’s hard to say for the time being.”

Wei Ting said, “I keep feeling that… it’s related to Thousand Mountain Island in the East Sea.”

Wei Xu remained silent, as if he was deep in thought.

Wei Qing asked, “Dad, what are you thinking about?”

Wei Xu thought of what had happened in the throne room this morning. “I’m thinking that Emperor Jing Xuan’s personality has become much more extreme.”

“Are you done?!”

It was the voice of Ghostfear who couldn’t take it anymore.

Ling Yun turned his head innocently and looked at Wei Xu eagerly.

Wei Xu’s arrogance soared!

“Little Seven, push it.”

After Wei Ting arrived at Ling Yun’s wheelchair,

Wei Xu also walked over and said politely to Ling Yun, “Mr. Zhuge, I have a few words to say to my eldest son. Little Seven will push you out.” With that, he smiled and extended his demonic claws at Ghostfear.

Ghostfear was grabbed by the collar by his father.

“No, no. Dad, listen to me…” “I can push again!”

“Howl…”

After the court assembly, Emperor Jing Xuan did not gather the Cabinet and the Grand Council for a meeting as usual. Instead, he returned to his bedroom.

The man in black was already waiting for him behind the curtain.

Emperor Jing Xuan looked at the swaying curtain and knew that he was there. He gave Eunuch Fu a look.

Eunuch Fu immediately brought the palace servants out and guarded the door.

When Eunuch Quan came over, Eunuch Fu blocked him outside.

“It’s the ginseng soup His Majesty wants!” “His Majesty is resting. I’ll send it to him later.”

“It’ll get cold later.”

“If it gets cold, heat it up!”

Eunuch Quan left with a grunt.

His Majesty had important guests, but only that old thief surnamed Fu knew. He was excluded!

Emperor Jing Xuan sat down on the chair, his face as dark as charcoal.

The man in black walked out and asked with a faint smile, “What’s wrong with His Majesty?”

Emperor Jing Xuan asked angrily, “Didn’t you say that Wei Qing is Zhuge Qing?”

The man in black said, “Yes.”

Emperor Jing Xuan snorted coldly. “But another Zhuge Qing came to the hall today. I used all kinds of methods to test him. I even used the chess game you gave me. He broke the game in public!”

Emperor Jing Xuan said coldly, “In short, Zhuge Qing came and Wei Qing was removed. Is your information wrong? Zhuge Qing is Zhuge Qing, and Wei Qing is Wei Qing?”

The man in black said firmly, “The information is accurate.”

“Hmph.”

Emperor Jing Xuan ignored him.

The man in black muttered, “How could someone break that mess? Could he be from the island too?”

The man in black looked at Emperor Jing Xuan, who no longer wanted to trust him. Just as he was about to say something, Eunuch Fu’s report sounded outside the door. “Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor has come to offer immortal pills.”

Emperor Jing Xuan’s expression softened. “Come in.”

The Imperial Preceptor, who was in his early fifties, entered with a box of golden pills. When he brushed past the man in black, he calmly glanced at him.

The man in black nodded slightly.

The Imperial Preceptor presented a immortal pill to Emperor Jing Xuan.

After Emperor Jing Xuan took the pill, he instantly felt his blood qi rise.

Wei Xu was not that impressive. With the Immortality Pill, he would definitely be younger and stronger than Wei Xu.

After leaving the palace, Wei Xu decided to visit his in-law, Su Cheng.

He invited Ling Yun to accompany him.

Ling Yun agreed readily. “I’ll do as you say.” He was hungry and wanted snacks.

Madam Wei was already waiting in the carriage.

Wei Xu accompanied Madam into the carriage.

Ling Yun also got into his luxurious carriage.

Wei Ting and the others rode their horses.

Ghostfear, who had been beaten up by Wei Xu, rode his horse to Ling Yun’s carriage unwillingly. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he gritted his teeth and asked, “Who are you? What’s your motive for approaching the Wei family? I’m warning you, if you dare to do anything harmful to the Wei family, I’ll definitely kill you!”

Ling Yun lifted the curtain and looked at him casually. “Does a death warrior have a past?”

Ghostfear choked..
