Old Marshal Qiu broke out in cold sweat. "I really don't know. Supreme Wind didn't tell me the child's exact whereabouts. He's worried about the child's safety. Actually, his concern …"
How could His Majesty listen to an explanation now? Like an enraged lion, he roared, "Preposterous! Ridiculous! What safety? What concern? What don't you know? This is the crime of deceiving the emperor! You should be exterminated and your entire clan confiscated! Qiu Jianhan! Hurry up and hand the person over to me. Otherwise, we will not only punish you for your crimes! I'll also exterminate your entire family! "
"Do you think I dare or not?"
His Majesty had already gone mad. He was completely unreasonable.
Looking at the emperor who was leaping eighty feet into the air and spitting spittle like a storm in front of him, Qiu Jianhan felt helpless and helpless.
His heart was numb as well.
I knew I would be scolded like this!
His Majesty's reaction was more serious than he had imagined, much more so!
It was obvious how much of an impact this matter had on him!
I'm here to tell you that you have a grandson, that your grandson is still alive, but you actually want to punish me for deceiving the emperor! You actually want to exterminate my entire family!
I was wondering if you dare or not, why don't you say you should or shouldn't?
Not only was the old marshal fuming, he was also aggrieved, very aggrieved.
In spite of this, His Majesty was obviously agitated by the news.
He was hopping mad and hysterical!
Only God knew how much His Majesty had hoped for this news to come true.
He had always thought that it was his own wishful thinking, a tiny hope in his heart. He had even thought that it would never happen.
His son had put all his energy into the Nine Supremes, how could he have the chance to start a family, get married and have children? If he had a choice, how could he have given up his position as the eldest prince and crown prince? You can't have your cake and eat it too. There must be a choice; choosing one would mean losing the other!
He had not expected that his eldest son, who had become Supreme Earth, would marry Supreme Water, who was a woman, and have a son!
The hope that he had given up on had actually come true!
His eldest son!
His Majesty felt like his blood was boiling! Exploding! Boiling!
"My son!"
His Majesty let out a cry of joy and sorrow.
He felt that he owed a lot to his eldest son. Every night, he would still think of him in his dreams. He still shed tears for him. But in the end, he still left behind a trace of his bloodline! It gave him a chance to make up for it!
His Majesty's emotions were so complicated that he was almost heartbroken.
"Your Majesty." The old marshal was a little worried and comforted him, "Please don't be impatient about this matter. We can't rush it. Since Supreme Wind has chosen to speak about this, he won't keep it back. He'll be exposed sooner or later. Why rush it? Besides, this isn't the right time."
His Majesty was still unusually irritated. He walked back and forth without a care for his manners, like a lion trapped in an iron cage. "Of course I understand your reasoning, but I really can't wait a moment longer. I want to see that child now … "
For His Majesty, this was an unbearable torture.
He knew the news, but he couldn't see the person in person. That feeling was really like a kitten scratching at his heart. It was literally hundreds of claws scratching at his heart.
"Old bastard! Are you purposely tormenting me today? " His Majesty glared at Qiu Jianhan in exasperation. "Not only can I not see him, I don't even know where exactly he is. I don't even know when he'll be sent over to meet me. Are you going to let me wait like this? Do you think I'll be in a good mood? "
Qiu Jianhan sighed inwardly. How could he not know that this fellow was about to lose his temper and vent his anger on him?
"Your Majesty, even if you're the emperor and dictate everything, you should still be reasonable. I've thought of waiting for the person to come before telling you …"
The old marshal felt wronged and said, "But this old official knows that Your Majesty has been waiting for so long. Now that there's finally news, it would be terrible if it were to be kept a little longer. However, your current state not only disregards this old official's good intentions, it's also detrimental to the dragon's health. I hope that Your Majesty can calm down and take your time to think about it."
His Majesty said angrily, "What a loyal and great official. It's your sincerity to tell me when you have news! However, you're telling me like this. How am I going to endure the coming days and nights of torment? Calm down and take my time to think about it? You're f * cking lying! How can I calm down at a time like this? "
His Majesty had cursed.
Damn!
Qiu Jianhan felt dizzy.
No matter what he did, it was wrong. Not only was he unreasonable, he had even cursed!
It was wrong to give the emperor a heads-up first, it was a crime of deceiving the emperor. Concealing the news and bringing the child to the emperor directly when he came was even more of a crime of deceiving the emperor. You should have laughed at me if you'd known this earlier!
He didn't even use a groundless accusation. This was the true meaning of 'if you want to incriminate someone, you can always find a pretext'.
"If you really want me to calm down, bring the person to me quickly. This is the right thing to do!"
His Majesty growled again, but it was a low growl that was only aimed at the old marshal. It was obvious that His Majesty had gradually regained his clarity and knew that some words and matters could only be communicated between the emperor and his official. If a third person were to know about it, it would definitely cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"This … this old official is really helpless against Your Majesty's request …" Qiu Jianhan was already cursing Supreme Wind inwardly. Look at the trouble you've caused this old man!
This old man is going to stay in the palace like this, unable to leave!
His Majesty's wrath is a fear that even this old man is unwilling to bear.
The old marshal heaved a deep sigh.
It's said that women are hard to appease, but that's because you fellows have never been an official! When you become an official, you'll know that there's a creature in this world that's even harder to appease than women! More temperamental than women! More unreasonable than women!
This creature was called an emperor!
When a woman turned against you, you would at most be upset. You would only need to spend some time, some money, and at most, some sincerity to redeem the situation. However, when an emperor turned against you, it was a matter of beheading!
Even if your original intention was sincerity and consideration for him!
After venting his frustrations, His Majesty could finally control his temper. He was sad one moment, happy the next, agitated the next, furious the next …
"Sigh …" His Majesty finally heaved a long sigh.
Old Marshal Qiu heaved a sigh of relief at once.
It seemed that he had passed this hurdle.
Otherwise, this fellow would not have sighed like this.
The old marshal knew His Majesty very well indeed. His Majesty asked, "Did Supreme Wind say when to send the child here?"
Qiu Jianhan answered, "Supreme Wind didn't specify a specific time. After all, he has to consider the child's safety. He can only confirm our attitude first, especially Your Majesty's …"
As he spoke, His Majesty's anger that had just subsided flared up again. He slammed the table and roared, "Bastard! Since when is it his turn to judge my attitude? That's my blood … "
Before he could finish, Old Marshal Qiu had already covered his mouth in anticipation and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, be careful with your words, be careful with your words. If you continue to act like this, not only Supreme Wind, even I don't agree to let you see the child …"
His Majesty struggled with all his might but he dared not continue. He said furiously, "Old Qiu, how dare you treat me like this! Are you rebelling? Do you believe that I will punish you for deceiving the emperor and exterminate your entire family? "
Qiu Jianhan rolled his eyes.
He was doomed today!
There was no way he could reason with this fellow today.
Everything he said was wrong, everything he did was wrong!
He could easily be accused of deceiving the emperor and was talking about exterminating his entire family. Could he still continue the drama of the emperor and his official?
At that moment, Old Marshal Qiu suddenly had the strange thought of "I want to retire and return to my hometown".
However, he dared not say it out loud.
The old marshal guessed that if he were to really say these words today, he would not have to retire and return to his hometown in this lifetime. It was not a crime of deceiving the emperor either; His Majesty could swallow him alive if he was here!
Still, this fellow was being too unreasonable …
I know that your emotions are unusual now and you want to see your long-awaited grandson very much, but you have to be a little more reasonable. Old Marshal Qiu really wanted to grab His Majesty's robe and ask, "Why are you so unreasonable? Are you a woman? Why are you so unreasonable? Are you a woman? "
If it was possible, if it was possible, the old marshal wanted to roar and ask a hundred times!
A hundred times!
His Majesty paced back and forth in the royal study with an excited expression on his face. He walked faster and faster with his hands behind his back. In the eyes of the old marshal, he looked like a lion running back and forth with a tail dangling behind its buttocks …
"Old Qiu!" His Majesty paced a few rounds and suddenly went to Qiu Jianhan, pressing both his hands on the latter's shoulders as he said in ecstasy, "I have a grandson! The person I've been waiting for the most is here! I have a grandson! I'm happy! Hahahaha … "
Old Marshal Qiu was dumbfounded. If I didn't know, I would've thought that you've discovered a new continent but I was the one who told you about it just now. You can tell this to anyone but me …
Besides, you wanted to exterminate my entire family just now for deceiving the emperor and now you're being so intimate with Old Qiu in the blink of an eye …
You've changed too quickly …
"About this child …" Qiu Jianhan suddenly recalled something as he spoke. His Majesty did not seem to doubt the authenticity of this matter from the beginning to the end. He did not doubt the authenticity of this matter at all!
He had just spoken and the emperor had accepted it immediately; it was a step further than simply believing it!
What happened to the scheming of an emperor? What happened to not completely trusting anyone?
"Has Your Majesty never doubted the authenticity of this?" Qiu Jianhan asked in slight surprise.
"I don't, not even a little!" His Majesty snorted and said in disdain, "Firstly, I believe in Supreme Wind. Secondly, I believe that my eldest son will definitely leave me a surprise! Thirdly, don't I still have you? I believe in you as well. If there was even the slightest doubt in this matter, you wouldn't have told me so quickly! Since you dared to say it, it proves that you have absolute confidence! "
"We've been brothers for so many years, I still trust you completely! Old Qiu, we're good friends! "His Majesty the Emperor said confidently.
Qiu Jianhan was speechless.
