Chapter 1308 “Di Cang’s Provocation (1)”

“Sire, is there something you need for calling me in here?” First Elder asks with a restless tone.

“Did nothing really happen while I was away?” Smirking at the uncomfortable appearance of his subordinate, Di Cang could tell something’s bothering the old demon.

Feeling a rock drop in his old heart, the elder makes a guilty expression: “Truth is, after you and the queen left the city, Sir Bai Xiao came to see you.”

Immediately, a flicker of frost flashed within Di Cang’s narrowed up eyes, “Bai Xiao came to the city?”

“Yes…” the elder replied timidly, “but after hearing you and the queen were away, he left immediately. I couldn’t stop him because I was in closed-door training and only became aware of this recently.”

In the end, this old man still felt its best for himself to keep the rumors away from the limelight. He’s just too afraid of what would happen if he blew that out there before this man.

For a long time, no words were exchanged between the two of them until it got very awkward.

“Regarding the matter of my brother-in-law, I will personally handle it by sending my own subordinate. Right now I want you to complete another matter I have on hand!”

“Please instruct me.” Kneeling on the ground, First Elder readily complied.

“Pass the message down, say… in three days, I’m holding a gathering and is inviting those from the Celestial Palace to attend. Let’s see if those bastards will actually have the courage to attend!”

The most direct way in bringing those people would be to send a challenge!

And it must be known to all to work!

“Yes Sire.” Though a bit surprised by the order, First Elder didn’t question his liege’s command. Without hesitation, he left to carry out his mission.

Murmuring to himself as he watches that old departing back: “Yan’er, I have given you a chance now, the only chance I will give you….”

……

Right after leaving the study, the old elder had intended to go begin preparations for spreading the word when he got stopped by one of the guards. “First Elder.”

Frowning in the face: “What happened?” Did something happen to the prince and princess?”

“No First Elder, it’s something else regarding the maids tasked with caring for the princess… Among them is a maid called Mu Xue. She’s unwilling to follow the order given and attempted to drive away the other maids in order to monopolize the princess.”

This news made the old senior darken up in the face. He’s lived for many years so he’s well aware of what that maid intends to do.

“Leave them for now, there’s many more important matters to handle first in the palace. However, have some of the guards keep an eye out for those maids, I’m suspecting the source of those rumors is somehow related to that group!”

Eyes narrowing in, First Elder felt frustrated at how many things there are to do for himself. Otherwise, he would’ve dug deep into this matter and pull out the one responsible for his own troubles right this instant.

“Yes Elder.” The guard obeyed and left without struggle.
