CHAPTER 755: CHAPTER 755: THE EMPEROR WAS FURIOUS

The emperor finally calmed down under Prime Minister Miao’s words.

"Your Majesty, from what I can see, General Bai did not respect you at all." The royal messenger wanted to stir the pot again.

"That’s enough, Sir Ling. You already relayed the message. You can leave now." Prime Minister Miao said.

Of course, the royal messenger did not want to leave yet. He still wanted the emperor to punish Bai Xiang.

"Sir Ling, remember your position. Your work is done. You can leave now." Prime Minister Miao glared at the royal messenger.

Prime Minister Miao knew what was in the royal messenger’s mind. He probably wanted to use the emperor to satisfy his wish to punish General Bai for his mistreatment at the military camp. Even so, did he think straight? General Bai was a Middle-Rank Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. No one in this country could fight him. The result would be gravely injured or worse, death. Prime Minister Miao did not want anyone to die like that.

The royal messenger wanted to protest, but being glared at by Prime Minister Miao and Eunuch Ming caused him to back off. He knew if he kept talking, his fate would be sealed. So, he gave up and bowed to the emperor.

"I will leave first." The royal messenger nodded.

The royal messenger left the room. The emperor was calm at the moment.

"Your Majesty, think about it rationally. General Bai was probably refusing to let her daughter come back because he was afraid something might happen to his daughter." The Prime Minister stated.

"What can happen to her?" The emperor asked in a high tone.

"Well, Your Majesty, you can not deny that the fact that when General Bai left his daughter in the Bai Family’s care, his daughter had been mocked and abused. That was why he refused to let his daughter return and stay alone here." Prime Minister Miao said.

"I just want her to take a look at my son." The emperor said.

"Your Majesty, I don’t think that a young girl like Young Lady Bai would have the skill to cure the poison that had been created by Red Lilli. Red Lilli was a renowned poison master. His skill was very high. Even though Young Lady Bai is an excellent pharmacist, I doubt she would be able to cure the poison in His Highness the Fourth Prince." Prime Minister Miao tried to resonate with the emperor.

"But Lan-er... He will be a monk for the rest of his life." The emperor sighed.

"It is much more important than death." Prime Minister Miao said.

The emperor was silent. If that happened, his fourth son would have no claim to the throne if something happened to the crown prince. A prince without the ability to create an heir was not suitable to inherit the throne.

"So, Lan-er’s future is set." The emperor sighed again.

"Your Majesty, I know that His Highness the Fourth Prince is your backup crown prince if something happened to His Highness the Crown Prince, but you still have other sons that you can consider, like His Highness the Second Prince." Prime Minister Miao stated his opinion.

The emperor looked at Prime Minister Miao. He knew that Prime Minister Miao spoke on behalf of the country. Prime Minister Miao was not in anyone’s faction as far as he knew, unless other ministers had already made their choices.

"Yes... You are indeed right." The emperor nodded slightly. "Fine... You can go now." He waved his hand.

Then, they heard some commotion outside. The door was forcefully pushed from the outside. It created a loud sound. They looked at the figure who entered the room. It was Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu. She walked to the emperor and greeted him.

Greetings to Your Majesty. I heard the royal messenger finally returned. So, where is Young Lady Bai?" Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu, went straight to the point.

"My dear, what are you doing here?" The emperor asked.

Actually, he did not know how to tell Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu, that he had already given up on curing his fourth son. He knew that Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu, would be sad and angry when she found out about that.

"Your Majesty, tell me the truth. Is Young Lady Bai returning with the royal messenger to treat Lan-er?" Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu, was very persistent.

The emperor sighed heavily. Seeing this, Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu, could not help but cry. The emperor pulled his beloved into his arms. Prime Minister Miao and Eunuch Ming sneaked out of the room, leaving the couple inside.

"Your Majesty, how can you lie to me? You told me that you would bring Young Lady Bai to treat Lan-er?" Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu, asked the emperor in tears.

The emperor felt hurt in his heart when he saw the tears on Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu’s face.

"I am sorry, my dear, but General Bai refused to let his daughter return to the Capital City." The emperor said.

"He refused? How dare he refuse to obey Your Majesty’s order? He could be executed." Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu, was furious.

"I know that, but he still refused. He even challenged Me to execute him. Can you believe that?" The emperor said.

"What? That is outrageous. How could he say that?" Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu asked.
