Chapter 188: Open The Door, Open The Door! Don’t Hide Inside In Silence!

After a long silence, Huang Yue said with a smile on his face: “I’ve long ago advised Jun Wang to listen to me, to don’t such a dirty and humiliating thing such as drugging His Majesty. Unfortunately, Jun Wang didn’t believe me. Is Jun Wang trying to threaten me? It’s a pity that His Majesty doesn’t want to see you. I would like to advise Xiao Jun Wang again. Xue Yan is in a conflict with His Majesty right now, he has no power and no influence. If it weren’t for the newly promoted Chen Ge, he wouldn’t even have a say in the matter. I hope that Jun Wang will see the situation more clearly.”

After saying this, Huang Yue sneered, got up and left.

Xiao YuAn, with a confused expression on his face, went to read Xiao Wangye’s notes, only to find that there wasn’t any mention of Huang Yue. It seemed that their ‘friendship’ was extremely shady, and Xiao Wangye was afraid of leaving any evidence behind, so he didn’t mention it altogether.

‘Could it be possible, that even if Li Wuding isn’t here to compete for the merit against him, Huang Yue still has the intention to commit treason?’

“Aaahhh, if you want to commit treason, then do it! If you want to scheme, then scheme! It doesn’t matter. But could you let me see Yan-ge first?!!” Xiao YuAn put aside the handwritten notes, held his head, and howled: “Wait!”

Xiao YuAn suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called Tian Xiang to ask her: “Tian Xiang, you said before, that His Majesty would go to worship in his spare time every day?”

Tian Xiang nodded: “That’s right.”

Xiao YuAn’s eyes lit up as he asked eagerly: “Where’s this place?”

Tian Xiang guessed what he was thinking about and waved her hands in panic: “Xiao Jun Wang, no one is allowed to enter that place except for His Majesty! If you go there, you’ll lose your head! Please don’t think about that place, Xiao Jun Wang!”

“Tian Xiang, as long as I meet His Majesty, I’ll be fine. Trust me!” XiaoYuAn said.

“Xiao Jun Wang, what can you do? That’s a forbidden place!” Tian Xiang still refused.

Xiao YuAn said with a smile: “I’ll sing a song for His Majesty.”

“Sing… sing a song?”

“That’s right!” Xiao YuAn cleared his throat, and sang: “The river flows eastward~! The stars in the sky join the Big Bear Constellation ah~! The stars in the sky join the Big Bear Constellation~1! What’s with that expression? Don’t worry, if this method doesn’t work, then I can also recite the Party Constitution2 and influence His Majesty with the brilliance of the Socialist values!”

While Xiao YuAn was still talking, Tian Xiang stood aside completely speechless.

‘Xiao Jun Wang is….’

‘A complete fool!’

‘How will that work?!’

As soon as Xiao YuAn’s words were finished, Tian Xiang choked and said: “Xiao Jun Wang, I know that it’s hard to be in a foreign country, but you have to be strong, ah. Wait for me, this maidservant will go to the Taiyi Hall, to ask if there’s any kind of medicine for calming the mind. You have to make sure to rest for a couple of days! This maidservant will take good care of you!”

However, in the end, she was unable to resist the softness of his words, and Tian Xiang took Xiao YuAn to the place where Yan HeQing worshipped.

Unexpectedly, that place was actually the former Northern Kingdom’s Altar of Heaven. Tian Xiang led Xiao YuAn towards the altar while telling him about the rumors.

It was rumored that Yan HeQing hugged the corpse of that man and cried for three whole days. It was also said that the man was buried in bright red wedding clothes. The rumors also said that when the Emperor worshipped, he would often speak nonsense; things such as ‘transmigrated soul’, ‘rebirth’ and other confusing words. He would also ask the tombstone again and again: ‘When will you come back to me? I’m sure that you’ll be able to come back.’

“He cried for three whole days?” Xiao YuAn couldn’t breathe right. He has never seen Yan HeQing cry. After all, Yan HeQing’s nature has always been stoic. No matter how difficult and sad things were, he would only clench his teeth and swallow them. Besides, in the original book, he has never been described as showing any kind of expression of great joy or sorrow.

Tian Xiang nodded: “His Majesty is extremely devoted to that person. Ah, Xiao Jun Wang, you must never do the same foolish thing you did before.”

Xiao YuAn laughed and said: “Don’t worry, it won’t happen again.”

As soon as Tian Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Xiao YuAn say with a smile: “From now on, we’ll have the greatest opportunity to love each other freely.”

Tian Xiang: “…..”

‘Xiao Jun Wang is no longer a fool! He’s insane! He’s out of his mind! How will that work out?!’
