Chapter 497
Senior General Xu was worried when he thought about this, âKing Dongdan and Ye Luyan are uncle and nephew, so they are not close to each other. Iâm afraid Ye Luyan may not be restrained with just this.â
âThe purpose of arresting Ye Luji was not to threaten him,â Xie Xuanchen didnât care about the comparison and slowly twirled the wine in his glass, âThe Empress Dowager Xiao loves her youngest son the most. I heard that the Empress Dowager Xiao even intended to let Ye Luji inherit the throne. If Ye Luji canât make Ye Luyan scram, then Empress Dowager Xiao and the Emperor definitely could.â
After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, he wanted to drink all the wine in the glass, but was stopped by a slender and soft hand midway. Mu Mingtang looked at him seriously and said, âYou are injured, so you are not allowed to drink.â
Xie Xuanchen stared at the people at the table with an unchanging expression, looking calm, as if the person who was injured and couldnât lift chopsticks was really him. Senior General Xu felt that he couldnât stand it even at his age. He thought that King Qiyang was just pretending to have some fun with the Princess yesterday and it would be over. But in the end, he was still keeping up the act today?
Xie Xuanchen pretended to be very calm, so the others could only cooperate. Xu Dalang looked at King Qiyang, who was so lively yesterday and could easily carry the bear-like Ye Luji with one hand, plummet to a state where he was weak to the point of being incapable of holding a pair of chopsticks.
Xie Xuanchen was famous for many years. They have all heard of Xie Xuanchenâs name as far away as they were in the north. After getting in touch with him in the past few days, everyone was sincerely convinced by Xie Xuanchenâs martial arts and courage. Everyone said privately that he was worthy of the name of the God of War and was actually a natural-born general who was born only once in a thousand years. In the end, they ended up seeing this side of Xie Xuanchen today.
Xu Dalang felt disillusioned and somewhat old at the same time.
