His Majesty grew even more anxious. "Has Supreme Wind found something strange again? Is it about the Four Seasons Tower or Dongxuan? It must be Dongxuan. It's illogical for Dongxuan to launch an attack so abruptly. There must be a trap. What's the exact situation … "
His Majesty's thoughts were running wild as he analyzed the situation, praying in his heart that it would be best if Supreme Wind had found out what Dongxuan's conspiracy was and nothing else!
This Lord Supreme Wind had already combed through all of Yutang's high-ranking officials during this period of time. Almost half of the officials in the imperial court had been taken out by him.
Yet, all of them were incriminating evidence; they were all spies!
In the face of this reality, he, the emperor, had already lost a lot of face!
He had been an emperor for so many years, but half of his subordinates were actually spies … He had been kept in the dark all this while. How could he endure this?
"It really isn't related to Dongxuan … It's not about the other officials either." Old Marshal Qiu frowned, his expression strange.
"Oh." His Majesty was relieved. "Then what did he look for you for? Another move against the Four Seasons Tower? "
"Not really … He told me something but I'm hesitating if I should tell His Majesty now …" Old Marshal Qiu was still thinking, contemplating and calculating, calculating what kind of shock and chaos it would cause once the news was revealed. Even the factions of the princes and even the entire palace would be in a state of panic …
That kind of consequence could only be described as' difficult to clean up '….
His Majesty clearly did not realize what he was about to hear. He only sat down in a very relaxed manner and said, "You should just say it. No wonder you sent Leng Daoyin away. It's related to the Nine Supremes. It's indeed not appropriate to let Marshal Leng know about this. I'll find a chance to speak up for you later. I guess this old man is going crazy from anger now … "
Qiu Jianhan chuckled dryly and said, "What does this have to do with me? Supreme Wind only told me that he had gotten Supreme Water's will not long ago. Supreme Water's will mentioned something unexpected."
"Something unexpected …" His Majesty raised his head, cracked his neck, and said carelessly, "What is it? This Emperor is suddenly very interested. Hurry up and say it. What are you keeping me in suspense for? If you continue to keep me in suspense, be careful that when Marshal Leng scolds you in the future, This Emperor will help Marshal Leng! "
However, His Majesty's tone was full of ridicule. He did not care too much about the so-called unexpected thing.
Qiu Jianhan said, "The will clearly states that Supreme Water of the Nine Supremes is actually a woman."
"Huh?" His Majesty's neck that was shaking stopped as he looked at Qiu Jianhan.
Obviously, this news was too unexpected!
One of the Nine Supremes whose name shook the world, Supreme Water, was actually a female!
It was a shocking secret that no one had discovered for so many years!
This was a shocking secret!
In spite of this, it was still a personal matter of the Nine Supremes. Whether it was Qiu Jianhan, the royal family, or Yutang, it did not have much to do with them.
His Majesty maintained the shock on his face, but his heart was no longer affected. The mind of an emperor had long sharpened his heart to the point that it was harder than metal and stone; he would not be swayed!
Once Qiu Jianhan started talking, it was hard to stop. He decided to spill the beans. Since he had already said so much, there was nothing else that he could not say.
"Not only is Lady Supreme Water a woman, she's already married." Old Marshal Qiu said quickly, "She even has a son."
His Majesty was still unperturbed. He did not know what Old Marshal Qiu was referring to. Could it be that he was asking for a title and reward for her son? This was not a difficult problem to solve!
Qiu Jianhan threw out the main point quickly and said, "Supreme Water's husband is Supreme Earth."
After saying this, he felt his entire body lighten up. He had finally said the most crucial thing.
"What does it matter who the man is? Supreme Earth and Supreme Water are both part of the Nine Supremes. Their marriage is logical and appropriate, a perfect match. It's perfectly normal for a man and a woman to get married. If you had said that the Supremes are married first and then said that Supreme Water is actually a woman, I might …" As His Majesty spoke, his teasing tone stopped abruptly. No, it should be more accurate to say that he froze.
There was a cracking sound.
His neck, which was initially raised in a relaxed manner, turned abruptly to look at Qiu Jianhan, his eyes like a hawk's.
However, it was obvious that his neck could not withstand such an intense movement as it let out a loud sound that sounded like his spine had snapped.
Then, His Majesty froze abruptly.
Supreme Water's husband was Supreme Earth!
Supreme Water had a son!
His Majesty froze for a good while before he suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar, "What?! Say it again! "
His roar could be heard by half of the palace.
Everyone who heard it shuddered at that moment.
Outside, Leng Daoyin, who was waiting for Qiu Jianhan to come out and settle the score with him, was shocked by the earth-shattering roar that came from the hall as well.
F * ck me!
It was actually so serious!
His Majesty could actually be so shocked!
This matter was no small matter, it was frightening and terrifying!
Furthermore, this place had become a place of trouble; he couldn't stay any longer!
Now that His Majesty was enraged, it's reasonable for Old Tortoise Qiu to be unlucky, but I'm just an innocent bystander.
A gentleman doesn't stand under a collapsing wall. It's better for this old man to leave first!
With a shudder, Leng Daoyin turned and strode out without looking back.
"Marshal Leng, don't you want to wait …"
"No, no. This old man suddenly remembered that I have some matters to attend to at home. I'll leave first, I'll leave first. Hmm, I suddenly have a stomachache. I'm not feeling well, maybe … "
Leng Daoyin disappeared in a flash.
Wait? Wait to be implicated in the disaster?
Even if I don't, I'm not willing to be scolded right in the face.
This old man is someone who cares about his reputation, someone who doesn't care about vulgar interests …
It's better for Old Qiu to shoulder this alone.
Good luck, Old Qiu!
Leng Daoyin disappeared with a swoosh. His speed was so fast that it made the palace guards gasp in awe. He was indeed the marshal. His skills, his speed, his agility … they were truly inferior to him.
Otherwise, how could he be Yutang's only second marshal, the second of the capital's top three rogues? How impressive!
It was just that he looked a little ragged …
It had to be an illusion, it had to be an illusion, it had to be an illusion!
In the hall!
His Majesty the emperor was no longer mischievous; he had even lost his usual composure and wisdom. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the old marshal, his pupils dilating. His entire face was flushed red like blood, only his lips were pale.
His body, which had regained its stability after being cured of the poison, was trembling even though he was still sitting upright. He was like a fallen leaf drifting in the wind.
His Majesty's gaze on the old marshal was focused and filled with urgency, clearly wanting a definite answer.
Old Marshal Qiu nodded solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, you didn't hear wrongly. It is indeed Supreme Earth of the Nine Supremes. Hmm, the eldest … cough, the union with Supreme Water. They became husband and wife and they gave birth to a son together. Now, this little boy is already two and a half years old. "
Supreme Earth!
The union of Supreme Earth and Supreme Water!
Giving birth to a son!
Son!
Two and a half years old!
Two and a half years old!
These words were like thunderclaps ringing in the Emperor's ears, making him dizzy and unable to distinguish between north, south, east, and west.
He could only hear his own rapid breaths that sounded like bellows.
His Majesty's chest was filled with the sound of breathing.
His Majesty grabbed the armrest of the throne uncontrollably. The strength he exerted was so great that the sturdy throne was left with a handprint.
It was confirmed!
There was!
There was!
At this moment, His Majesty did not even know what he was feeling. He felt his mind go blank while the world before him exploded in a riot of colors.
After a long while, when the explosion of colors had passed, His Majesty finally caught his breath. His emotions were extremely complicated. He wanted to howl and laugh into the sky, but he also wanted to fall to the ground and cry. He wanted to burn incense and worship his ancestors, to thank the gods and sages for their blessings!
He was stunned for a long time before he suddenly collapsed on the throne. His normal sitting posture was gone as he slumped like a puddle of mud.
"Is this … my grandson?" His Majesty's eyes were wide open. "The eldest son's grandson?"
"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words!" Qiu Jianhan was shocked. "This old official has been contemplating whether to tell Your Majesty about this. I was afraid that Your Majesty would stir up too much of a commotion and cause chaos within Yutang. This …"
His Majesty did not look like an emperor who ruled over the world at this moment. Instead, he looked more like an ordinary old man. An old man who had gradually given up on his son's safe return had unexpectedly learned that his son still had a descendant!
A two-and-a-half-year old boy!
He had a grandson now!
He had thought that all his hopes had been dashed, but he did not expect God to still leave a little consolation for him!
God has been kind to me!
God has been kind to the Yu royalty!
His Majesty sat there quietly, his face covered with tears.
"Where is the child now?" His Majesty, who had been like a puppet, suddenly sprung up in a frenzy and grabbed Qiu Jianhan's robe.
"I don't know …" Old Marshal Qiu was shocked.
"You don't know? You say you don't know? " These three words ignited His Majesty's rage. The rage rose so abruptly that it could almost burn the entire palace. "You came to tell me this news, but when you're here, you're telling me that you don't know where the child is now?"
His Majesty let out a choked roar, tears spilling from his eyes as the palace shook. "Qiu Jianhan! You – you – you are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor! "
