Chapter 296 “Intent on Reusing the Dong House (1)”

It was then a eunuch came rushing in to report: “Your Majesty, Princess Bao Yun is seeking an audience.”

The king’s finger froze, snapping the brush in his hand as a result. Wrinkling his forehead: “What is she doing here again? Say I’m busy and that I won’t see her.”

Just the name of that woman was enough to make this man get a headache. If not for Fu Bao Yun being his half-sister and that she committed no serious crime, he would’ve never allowed her inside the palace again.

“Yes Your Majesty,” giving a slight bow, the eunuch scurries off to carry out the order.

Before long, the loud commotion of screaming and cursing finally dies down, giving peace to this once tranquil study room.

Exhaling a sigh of relief, Fu Bai Qi (king) knew the woman was gone now. Rubbing his still aching forehead, he intends to press on with his work despite the thumping pain.

Unfortunately for him, his focus was once again interrupted by a black figure suddenly dashing down from the ceiling.

“My king,” the shadow’s voice was deep and hard, evident of someone who had gone through much hardship.

“Why are you so flustered? Is there movement in the other three kingdoms?” Wrinkling his brow, the king was perplexed by how urgent his subordinate made the entrance.

“My King, there is movement over at the Liu Huo Kingdom. The Bai family’s long lost daughter Bai Yan has returned.”

“Bai Yan? Isn’t that Dong Ruolan’s niece?” The king’s brow had devolved into a twisted knot now, “Is there something big about this?”

“Yes there is My King. Not only did that lass Bai Yan return this time, she also declared her separation from the Bai House. Atop of that, the girl has become the owner of the Flower Brothel.”

Flower Brothel?

Crumpling up the parchment in his hand, the king’s attention was completely riled up now.

“The very same Flower Brothel that Hualuo controls?”

It’s publicly known that the Flower Brothel has enough influence to be comparable to the royal families of the four kingdoms. If it’s true that Bai Yan has become the owner of such a power, its time he too got involved with the Dong House again.

Years ago, if it wasn’t due to Fu Bai Yun being a real annoyance, he wouldn’t have deliberately distanced himself from that family, thus directly pushing the Dong House into the very last place of the high end noble families in the capital.

“That’s not all My King, that son of Bai Yan’s is actually the destined child from the rumors, even that legendary dragon has now recognized the boy as its master. If there’s no accident forward, it’s likely that child will become the master of the Demon Beast Sect….”

The current sect leader of that power has no successor or a son, meaning the likelihood of such an outcome being very plausible.

PAHH!

Due to his hands loosening at the second part of the report, the paper he was looking over had already fallen to the ground; yet, the king seems oblivious to this fact and could only focus in on his questioning: “I heard the relationship between Dong Ruolan isn’t very good with my half-sister, is it true?”

“Yes My King, it’s publicly known that the princess’s relationship with Lady Ruolan isn’t good. However, due to Dong Ruo Qin’s connection, they haven’t fully disconnected yet.” The shadow guard was very respectful and careful in his reply, afraid the king might take his anger out on him instead of the princess.

“Hmmm,” despite the excitement coming out in waves, Fu Tian Qi (king) continues to put on a stern façade as the king, “Then what about the relationship between Dong Ruolan and Bai Yan?”

“Your Majesty, the members of the Lan House is the only ones recognized by Bai Yan as her family, and… the daughter of Lady Ruolan is very good with Bai Yan.”

These are all the information gathered by the spies sent to that kingdom. Therefore, the shadow firmly believes in the reliability of this news.

“Does anyone else in the kingdom know about this?” Fu Tian Qi’s voice was borderline shaking, yet his tone was exceptionally calm.

“I-I don’t know,” the shadow honestly replies.

It’s only been merely two months since Bai Yan returned to her old home, making this information unlikely to spread very far outside of the source. At most only the royal families of the various kingdoms would learn of it through their own means.

“Very good,” slapping the table, the king raises his voice, “Go call my sister and her husband!”
