Chapter 871: Does he ever use his Brain and Wonder why I’d wait this long if I wanted the Seat on the Throne?
As Yin Lei spoke, Xu Mian’s heart dropped further and further, “Emperor Yin, are you sure you want to go this far? If you do that, there won’t ever be a chance for you to amend your relationship with the young master!”
Yin Lei said, “I’m doing this for homeland security. He loses nothing by being with Houshang. I’ve made up my mind. Don’t challenge me anymore and do what you’re told.”
Xu Mian sighed and accepted helplessly, “Yes, sir.”
“…”
At the same time, inside a seven-star hotel.
Quan Zexi was sleeping soundly when he heard knocking at the door.
Confused, he opened his eyes and got out of bed. Without putting on his mask, he yawned and went to open the door.
“You trying to get killed? Why are you disturbing my beauty sleep?!”
Zhao Sizhan’s lips quivered, “Duke, something huge happened!”
Quan Zexi stretched mindlessly, “More huge than me losing my beauty sleep?”
Zhao Sizhan was speechless, “Duke, Xia Shixiong died.”
Quan Zexi was in the middle of a yawn and he froze up, “What did you say?”
Zhao Sizhan knew this would be how he’d react so he repeated himself, “Duke Xia, Xia Shixiong, Xia Houshang’s father, died!”
Quan Zexi was silent for a while, “How did he die?”
He rubbed his chin, “He was alive and well when I left the country.”
“We don’t know yet.” Zhao Sizhan said, “We also encountered another strange ordeal.”
Quan Zexi, “What is it?”
Zhao Sizhan glanced around before whispering something in Quan Zexi’s ear.
Quan Zexi’s eyes widened and instantly sighed, “The noble families sure are dirty.”
Zhao Sizhan, “…”
Why did he talk like he wasn’t a part of a noble family? Was he aware that he insulted himself?
Quan Zexi had no idea that his subordinate was silently whining. After he realized the importance of the message, he asked, “If the news is from last night, why are you waiting until now to tell me?”
Zhao Sizhan, “You were busy when I received the news. Then after you were done being busy, you told me to stop bothering you because you needed to sleep immediately. You gave me no chance to open my mouth!”
“…” Quan Zexi then asked, “Why are you disturbing me now then?”
Zhao Sizhan, “… Because compared to the dirty deed she did, the death of her father is a bigger deal! Plus, the Emperor had asked everyone to keep the news from you in case you’d do something funny. So, I mustered up the courage and came to report to you.”
“Keep the news from me? He sure is afraid that I’d do something!” Quan Zexi laughed, “That old man spends all his days worrying about this and worrying about that. Every day, he imagines scenarios where he’d get screwed over. He’s halfway buried underground yet he’s still greedily wanting power.”
“Does he ever use his brain and wonder why I’d wait this long if I wanted the seat on the throne?”
“If it weren’t for his poor capabilities and low IQ, I wouldn’t even want to meddle with this country’s business.”
Zhao Sizhan, “….”
