Jun Wu Xie's actions allowed the Lin Palace, which had been suppressed for ten years, to finally see the dawn of hope. While the Lin Palace was peaceful, the situation outside the Lin Palace was a different story.
Mo Xuan Fei had a good reputation in the Imperial City, with his handsome looks, he had captured the hearts of many young girls in the Imperial City. When Jun Wu Xie and Mo Xuan Fei's engagement, many people in the Imperial City were secretly cursing Jun Wu Xie for being a toad lusting after a swan's flesh.
Now, the engagement between Mo Xuan Fei and Jun Wu Xie had been annulled and everyone knew about it. There were many who were happy to see it happen, but there were also many who added insult to injury.
After the court adjourned, Jun Xian left the Imperial Palace as usual. Several old men dressed in court robes walked over with smiles on their faces.
"Lin Wang, is there any news of the traitor?" A rotund old man asked with a smile.
Jun Xian glanced at the man. If it was said that Jun Xian was the founder of the Kingdom of Qi, a Prince of a different surname, then this fat man, would be a Prince of the Kingdom of Qi, the elder brother of the current Emperor, Wu Wang.
Wu Wang was now in his sixties. He had been pampered and pampered all this time and his face was flushed with health. Wu Wang was muddleheaded and did not have much ability. But he had used his status as the elder brother of the current Emperor to get by in the Kingdom of Qi like a fish in water. Wu Wang did not know of his own incompetence and had always thought that he was omnipotent. Many of the ministers saw that he was born into the Royal Family and was the elder brother of the Emperor, so they flattered him.
But Jun Xian had a tough temper and was never polite to Wu Wang. This caused Wu Wang and Jun Xian to be at loggerheads for many years.
When Jun Xian's two sons were still alive and well, Wu Wang had never dared to look for trouble with Jun Xian. But ever since Lin Palace appeared to be thriving on the surface, but in reality, it was in decline. Wu Wang had become more and more unbridled.
The news of the annulment of Jun Wu Xie and Mo Xuan Fei's engagement had spread so quickly in the Imperial City.
A group of ministers crowded around Wu Wang, waiting to see Jun Xian make a fool of himself.
"Wu Wang does not need to worry about this matter. No matter how cunning the traitor is, the Lin Palace will investigate to the end to ensure the Second Prince's safety." Jun Xian said in a lukewarm tone.
"Then it must have been hard on you. Lin King, you're not young anymore. How can you still work so hard? Why don't we just leave this matter to the next generation … "King Wu smiled brightly, then suddenly changed the topic and slapped his forehead awkwardly." Oh, I'm really sorry. How could I forget? Of the two young masters in your clan, one has already sacrificed his life for the country, and the other … "
King Wu did not finish his sentence as he looked at Jun Xian mockingly.
Some time ago, the incident at the Lin Palace had spread throughout the imperial court.
Jun Xian's youngest son had suddenly been poisoned and all the doctors in the Imperial City had been called upon, but none of them had been able to save him. The Imperial Physicians had returned with the worst possible outcome. This news should have been kept under wraps, but someone had leaked it out. Now, everyone knew that Jun Qing did not have long to live.
"I'm really sorry, I'm not good with words, really … Haha, I'm sorry." King Wu laughed without any sincerity, but he had no intention of hiding the smile in his eyes.
Jun Xian's brows furrowed slightly. His many years of leading troops had caused him to unconsciously emit the cold and intimidating aura of a soldier. He looked coldly at the ministers who had surrounded him, and then at Wu Wang who was throwing stones at him when he was down.
