Chapter 1318: Chapter 1318: A Grasshopper After Autumn Won’t Jump for Long

Upon hearing this, Celestial Master Zhang was taken aback, he had never heard of such a thing.

"Isn’t the War Prince seriously ill? How is he getting married?"

"It’s said to be for good luck, the excuse is quite well found." The Emperor was almost furious, it seemed as if Zhao Yin made the Gu poison act, and even let his nemesis enjoy both power and beauty.

"What plans does the Emperor have?"

"What can be done, it’s already announced to the world, if I stop it, people will say this Emperor is narrow-minded, can’t see a Minister doing well."

Last time, he bestowed marriage upon the War Prince, but somehow, some merciless scoundrel spread the news that the woman he had chosen for the War Prince was of prostitute origin. At that time, rumors spread all over Moli Country, everyone started to speculate what was wrong with this Emperor, treating a deserving Minister this way.

"Indeed."

Celestial Master Zhang nodded, if the Emperor did that, it would indeed harm his reputation, the people wholeheartedly supported the War Prince, believing he was the protector of Moli Country and deserved supreme glory.

"As the Emperor, I’m too cowardly, actually held tightly by a Prince of a different surname, I don’t dare to breathe heavily."

Though secretly the Emperor sent people to assassinate the War Prince, on the surface, they still maintained a courteous relationship as Lord and Minister, afraid that accidentally tearing apart that layer of window paper, Moli Country would change hands forever.

Of course, these were the Emperor’s long-held fears.

Even in his sleep, he’s vigilant about the War Prince, showing how cowardly he was as the Emperor.

"Didn’t the Emperor poison him with Gu, isn’t the War Prince...?"

Celestial Master Zhang spoke cautiously, fearing he might accidentally hit the Emperor’s nerve and anger him, which wouldn’t be good.

After all, today is different from the past.

The Emperor’s favorite now is Zhao Yin, as for him as a Heavenly Master, seems not so important anymore.

Celestial Master Zhang is a wise man, naturally, he chose not to upset the Emperor.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor’s expression became sinister, finally, he cracked a smile: "Indeed, I’m really confused by anger, the War Prince is just a post-autumn grasshopper, won’t be able to jump for long."

Looking at the Emperor’s abnormal smile, his expression and posture were exactly the same as Zhao Yin’s.

Indeed, the proverb is right, one gets dyed red when one is near cinnabar, dark when near ink.

It seems the Emperor has grown close to Zhao Yin, even his aura became very similar.

Celestial Master Zhao frowned more tightly, thinking this wasn’t a good omen, yet he understood that loyal advice is unpleasant to hear.

Now that the Emperor is so close to Zhao Yin, following him in everything, speaking ill of him would definitely make the Emperor resent him, thus wise Celestial Master Zhang endured, said nothing, just faintly remarked: "It’s good that the Emperor understands."

Suddenly, the Emperor remembered something: "Celestial Master Zhang, is there any progress with the Thousand Year Striped Tiger?"

This matter concerns the future of Moli Country, he has always kept it in mind.

Celestial Master Zhang felt happy in his heart, the Emperor still cared about him.

"Emperor, there’s some progress, seems towards the direction of the General’s Mansion."

"What? Again it’s the General’s Mansion, Celestial Master, did you make a mistake?"

"I calculated several times, there’s no mistake, it is indeed in the direction of the General’s Mansion."

The Emperor furrowed his brow tightly, murmuring to himself: "Why is everything related to the General’s Mansion?"

Indeed, during these days, the General’s Mansion in the Capital became the topic of intense discussion, starting with Situ Family’s eldest daughter bringing a tiger into the Capital, causing quite a stir at that time.
