Chapter 154 - The Royal Doctors Arrived
“Since you admitted your mistakes, bear the punishment then. From now on, you people will return to your place and stay there. You are not allowed to step outside your house and get involved in any form of politics. You are not allowed to contact anybody. Whoever violated my order, his whole clan should be wiped out.”
The officials were all stunned.
The officials who were kneeling on the floor were shaking. They raised their heads and said unbelievingly, “Your highness…”
“Drag them out!” The king’s eyes were full of coldness, yet at the same time, there was a slight sense of sadness.
These men were all important figures in the court. If there was a provocateur in the court, he must be one of these men.
Although it was just some foolish fight among some foppish lads, it actually mattered at times.
The army had just left and the capital was in the weakest moment. The military families felt mostly unsafe at the moment. Yet they actually stirred up troubles at the very moment.
It happened right before the three reports were received.
How could the king not suspect there was a scheme about this fight.
Besides, it was the most dangerous moment when the kingdom was surrounded by powerful enemies. The king wouldn’t use people that he didn’t fully trust at the moment. He didn’t dare to keep these men in the court now.
There were some of them who were wronged though.
The king had no other choices.
If these men were not such important figures in the court, the king would have killed them already. It was the fast and simple way after all.
These men couldn’t believe it, and the other officials were surprised. The guards came in and dragged these old officials out like tigers dragging rabbits.
“Ok. Now we discuss about the situation about the four battles.” The king spoke like nothing had happened, “You can express your thoughts without hesitations. Let’s find out a way to defend our kingdom…”
…
It was in the House of Ye.
Ye Xiao was lying in bed. He looked ‘extremely miserable’ at the moment. His body was soft and it seemed as though he had no bones at all.
Song Jue was also extremely ‘upset’. He sat beside Ye Xiao with a dark face.
Unlike these two ‘talented actors’, some blood guards kept pacing around the house with concerns. They were truly worried though.
“How is it?” Song Jue asked quietly as nobody was around.
Ye Xiao, who should be in coma right now, slightly opened his eyes and said, “Don’t worry. It’s fine. Everything is under control.”
They both didn’t know what result their acting had brought about this time though.
However, the forces against the military group in the court had been way too strong for a long time. It was time to do some change about it anyway. It could at least make military people feel settled after this.
“However, I think it is going to happen when your father comes back… As time goes by, I don’t think there will be many of them who are going to get demoted.” Song Jue spoke, “But we are definitely going to escape the crisis though.”
“It isn’t a sure thing though.” Ye Xiao answered.
“What? You mean those guys still dare to mess with you even though you are already living corpse like this?” Song Jue was surprised.
Ye Xiao smiled, “No. I have never worried about what happened today. As for weakening the opponent forces, we may not be able to do much about it, but the Crown Prince will do it for us.”
“The Crown Prince?” Song Jue was disdainful, “That’s impossible. He wishes you to die quickly. How will he help you? Don’t forget the Melting Bone Palm on you was from his man.”
Ye Xiao spoke blandly, “Of course he won’t help us weaken the political group. He will try to get rid of people who didn’t support him. If he doesn’t knock those men down, how can he pass the buck to them? He may weaken our opponents coincidently. It was reasonable.”
Song Jue was stunned. He couldn’t react yet.
Ye Xiao smiled lightly and said blandly, “Uncle Song, you… You are cute. How can you still not understand? The Crown Prince has to make sure that somebody will take the responsibility for messing me up, so that he can act like he didn’t do anything to me… The case about his brother-in-law is not passed yet, remember?”
Song Jue was enlightened. He said with praises, “You little kid. You are really getting smarter and smarter. It is a pity that you don’t want to get in the court. You are really good at setting people up… What do you mean ‘cute’? Don’t describe me like that! How can you call me cute?”
Ye Xiao twitched his mouth trying not to laugh loudly.
They didn’t expect that the king was helping them weaken their opponents in the court this time.
At the moment, footsteps could be heard outside as a blood guard shouted, “Chief! There are royal doctors from the royal palace here. They are here to see the young master.”
Ye Xiao naturally ‘passed out’ again. Song Jue made an ‘emotional face’ immediately and spoke in a deep voice, “Lead them in quickly.”
He sounded like he was in a haste.
It looked like he had been waiting for the doctor for a long time.
