Free Web NovelChapter 1609: Chapter 8: The Son of Heaven Has Not Yet Opened The Gate of Fortune_3
Of course, Jiang Wang’s response to these words is also very important.
Whether he bares his soul or acts sincerely fearful, the Son of Heaven wouldn’t do anything to him. This moment seems more like a time for everyone to observe this young genius.
But Jiang Wang, whether he understood or not, directly confronted him face to face like this...
How will the Son of Heaven react?
Cao Jie has followed the current Son of Heaven for so many years; he understands the Son of Heaven well, yet he doesn’t understand him. He understands that the Son of Heaven is highly talented and wise, but doesn’t understand because many times he cannot predict the Son of Heaven’s decisions... just like at this very moment.
The Son of Heaven is not without the possibility of unleashing a thunderous rage.
Asking the Son of Heaven for an explanation, requesting him to retract his golden words, in severe terms, can even be seen as a challenge to the Son of Heaven’s authority!
The Son of Heaven can be wrong, yet how can ministers doubt?
The Emperor Qi remained silent, while Jiang Wang maintained a bent posture, standing like molded iron. Clearly, if the Emperor did not retract his statement, he wouldn’t stand upright.
At this moment, a voice everyone had not anticipated sounded.
"Your Majesty, this old servant has a word, beg to be heard by the Saint!" freewebnøvel.com
The voice comes from outside the hall.
It is Feng Gu, the head eunuch of Long Life Palace.
The Son of Heaven’s gaze moves past the coffin, past Jiang Qingyang who is bent forward, to fall on that decrepit figure outside the hall.
"Speak," said the Son of Heaven.
Feng Gu kowtowed on the ground, pleading: "When the Prince was around, he greatly admired the Son of Qingyang, often saying that his arrival in Qi was a blessing for Daqi. He once deliberately invited the Son of Qingyang to the palace to spar... After that battle, the Prince always spoke highly of the Son of Qingyang. Upon hearing of the result of the battle of Star Moon Plain and the elegant demeanor of the Son of Qingyang, the Prince couldn’t help but clap his hands and sigh, saying ’This gentleman shall rise high’. Even... even this time, he left a legacy gift specifically for the Son of Qingyang. This old servant believes, the Prince’s heart towards the Son of Qingyang was sincerely devoted, and the Son of Qingyang’s regard towards the Prince was also sincere. The so-called mutual admiration of heroes, truly has no impure thought. Beg Your Majesty for illumination."
No one expected Feng Gu to speak at this time.
These words completely support Jiang Wang, and substantively deny the Son of Heaven’s "condemnation" words.
To put it bluntly, Jiang Wang, such a universally recognized genius, a prominent figure among the younger generation of Qi Country, who has repeatedly been rewarded for achievements, still has the qualifications to "use his favor with arrogance", to confront the Son of Heaven.
This Feng Gu, who is the head eunuch of Long Life Palace, how dare he?
Even Jiang Wang himself did not expect Feng Gu to help him, as their interactions were truly limited. freēwēbnovel.com
Meanwhile, Jiang Wuji, who had remained silent, couldn’t help but glance again at Jiang Wuqi lying in the coffin.
This eleventh brother truly has a magnanimity beyond ordinary people.
Feng Gu, such an almost lifeless old eunuch, if not for Jiang Wuqi truly appreciating Jiang Wang during his lifetime, why would he speak up at this moment?
Everyone knows that after Jiang Wang returned from the End of the World Platform, he has very obviously gravitated toward Hua Ying Palace.
Even he, Jiang Wuji, although always showing goodwill toward Jiang Wang, also has his own sense of propriety, not actively helping to boost his prominence. After all, that already is a competitor.
Jiang Wuqi truly... despite being amidst the dragon contention, always has his focus on the whole world, with no division of palace chambers.
He never felt, apart from the misfortunes leading to the Imperial Father’s favoritism, that he was inferior to this eleventh brother. But at this point, he has to admit, in terms of magnanimity, he indeed falls short by a few measures.
Thinking that if it were Jiang Wuqi and himself in swapped positions, he would never have pushed Jiang Wang towards Hua Ying Palace at that time.
Looking at Jiang Wuqi who would never open his eyes again, remembering the various times this kid loved to "give him lessons".
Jiang Wuji lightly sighed in his heart.
Perhaps he truly should "cultivate his heart".
