Chapter 603
The officials were confused . [What’s happening? It is still early in the morning . Is there any accident? Maybe… It was said the king is ill, and he may not have lots days to live . Did he just…]



The Crown Prince had the same thought . He looked confused, but was quite happy in mind . If his father truly died, he would become the new king . He surely was happy . [Gods are blessing me . Once I sit on the throne, I am king!]

He was still having his sweet dream, because he didn’t know what happened the previous night . The masters captured those officials secretly and rapidly!

Not even a chicken or a dog escaped .

Masters around the king were all in top levels of Sky Origin Stage . They were totally powerful in ordinary people’s eyes . One night was long enough for them to do so many things!

"What’s going on?"

"I don’t know . Anything big happening?"

"I didn’t hear anything about this . Why?"

Somebody frowned and asked Crown Prince, "Your highness, do you know what is happening?"

Crown Prince’s face turned pale . He didn’t seem so vigorous anymore . He wasn’t a fool after all . After thinking deeper for a few minutes, he realized there was something wrong about it . There were a few officials absent in the court . The absent officials were exactly those who were working for him . If one or two of them were missing, he might still try to believe that they were sick or something else . However, all the officials who worked for him were missing . Apparently, they were all in trouble!

They all got in trouble at the same time… That meant…

Crown Prince’s heart started to beat heavily . His face was turning pale and gloomy . He shook his head and blankly spoke, "I don’t know!"

He was turning more and more depressed though .

His heart felt like falling deeper and deeper down to the abyss .

It was like a nightmare to him . The most horrible nightmare was happening to him . He tried to wake up but he just couldn’t .

A sweet dream turned into a nightmare . Heavens and hell . What a huge difference!

"The king announces morning court!"

The eunuch’s familiar voice sounded . Crown Prince’s two legs were trembling . He knew he should get in, but he actually just couldn’t move his feet .

His feet were so heavy like they were rooted in the ground .

He tried so hard but couldn’t lift it .

An official behind him noticed it, so he got over to hold the Crown Prince . As he touched Crown Prince, he found his hands were wet and cold . Crown Prince’s sweat drenched his clothes .

[What is wrong? Is Crown Prince sick?]

"Your highness? You highness?" He was scared, so he called out to Crown Prince .

"I am fine . " Crown Prince was back to himself . He tried to smile and slowly walk into the main hall .



"Your highness, if you don’t feel well, why not just ask for leave and take some rest back home . Don't hide your sickness for fear of treatment . " The official was concerned .

Crown Prince’s face was pale . He didn’t seem sober at all . He didn’t even hear what people said to him .

In the main hall .

The king’s sharp eyes stared at the Crown Prince who was being held by an official . His eyes were sharp and cold, but in his heart, there were complex feelings .

The king, Chen Xuantian, truly had many questions hidden in the heart .

He just wanted to ask his own son, why!

Why would he deceive his father!

At this moment, officials were on their positions . It was awkwardly silent . It was so depressing that people felt suffocated .

They all felt something was wrong .

Nobody dared to talk first . They just tried to hold their breath .

These were all experienced and cunning officials . When they felt something was wrong in the court, they would lower their heads and stay silent .



Anybody who dared to step out and say anything stupid, something like ‘what a lovely day’… he would probably die instantly .

‘What a lovely day’ was actually a good opening to break the awkward situation though…

The king leaned back to the throne slightly . His eyes were closing up .

Prime Minister Zuo and a few other old officials were enlightened . [Something serious is going to happen!]

The king’s simple moves and the lazy and casual facial expression all meant something serious would happen!

The old officials had been there for dozens of years . They all knew the king so well . They all sensed the danger this time, so they all tried to stay out of it!

Even if a needle was stabbed deep into their butts, they wouldn’t make a sound .

"Prime Minister Zuo!" the king blandly spoke .

Prime Minister Zuo felt like there were ten thousand alpacas running over across his heart . [God damn it! I just want to play dead now! Why do I have to be the first? Did I forget to pray for blessing before I went out in the morning? Bloody bad days! This is not a good sign!]

He stepped forward one step and answered, "Yes, your majesty!"

"Let me ask you, what is your responsibility?" the king spoke in a gloomy voice .

Zuo quivered and said, "Your majesty, I am here to assist your majesty and supervise the officials, support…"

"Hmm . " the king interrupted him when he just started to talk .

Prime Minister Zuo sighed with relief in his heart .

[Hmm . I guess it must have something to do with supervising officials . It won’t connect to me, right? Maybe another young stupid guy pissed the king off again?]

[Well, it should be no worse than ineffective supervision . That should be fine…]

The king continued, "Supervise the officials . Well said! Zuo Longcheng, let me ask you . The case about Second Prince . What do you think about official supervision?"

"I… I am guilty!" Prime Minister Zuo kneeled down immediately . However, he felt relieved in the heart .

[So this is it… Hmmm… No more than half a year salary deduction . ]
