Chapter 1322: Chapter 1322: Cunning Person

"Of course, I am an expert in Gu Poison, and naturally, I need to refine it, making the Gu Poison more powerful and indestructible, so that no one else in this world can unravel it. Only then can it be considered successful."

Zhao Yin was smug, because with this unique skill, even the Emperor couldn’t do without him now. This allowed him to transform from a commoner into a significant minister in the Imperial court, and just this alone allowed him to hold his head high in front of others.

Indeed, the Emperor was determined to kill the War Prince. He had repeatedly sent assassins but never succeeded, nearly driving himself insane with rage. For the eternal preservation of his dynasty, the Emperor was willing to try any method to ensure the War Prince’s demise.

Moreover, the Gu Poison clearly had an effect on the War Prince, and every time Zhao Yin saw his pained expression, it made him happy for days.

His palace was immediately filled with music and dance for several days.

It made him arrogant, made him pompous, made him forget he was just a minister.

He was the supreme Emperor, as the saying goes, when the Sovereign wants a minister dead, the minister must die.

Every time the Gu Poison attacked the War Prince, the Emperor would get dead drunk in the Imperial Palace, with beauties clinging to him on both sides, and amidst the madness, he would occasionally curse the War Prince for being ungrateful.

Zhao Yin was also aware of these situations, feeling even more smug, thinking that the Emperor couldn’t do without him in the future.

With Zhao Yin, the Emperor could make the War Prince wish for death and regain the dignity of a Sovereign. Naturally, Zhao Yin was held in high esteem, getting whatever he wanted, rare treasures gifted with ease, all commonplace matters.

Ever since Zhao Yin entered the palace, he loved to hide in his room and study how to cultivate insects inside a human body. Watching the Little Kid covered entirely with Gu insects and yet unable to die, he knew very well that the experiments over these times were successful, and he couldn’t help but smile with pride.

Eunuch Li, seeing the strange smile on Zhao Yin’s face, felt chills running down his spine.

Previously, he didn’t think this person was scary, but today, seeing the Little Kid, who was just recently very cute, turned into an Insect Person by him, he felt an inexplicable fear of Zhao Yin from the bottom of his heart.

Even he himself couldn’t detect it.

He thought his status in the Imperial Palace wasn’t lower than Zhao Yin’s, yet he inexplicably feared him.

"Eunuch Li, didn’t you say the Emperor was looking for me? Lead the way then?" Glancing at the terrified Eunuch Li, Zhao Yin gave a disdainful smile.

This old eunuch, despite recommending him, Zhao Yin looked down on him. A eunuch, often currying favor among the concubines, no matter how he looked at him, he couldn’t find him pleasing.

As soon as Zhao Yin entered the Imperial Palace, he was recommended by Eunuch Li, directly went to the Emperor, and was highly valued, naturally unaware of the ways of survival in the palace.

No matter who you are, you need connections to live long and prosper.

Otherwise, one day you might die without even knowing why!

Zhao Yin genuinely looked down on Eunuch Li, something the eunuch was unaware of, only feeling Zhao Yin’s actions and conduct becoming increasingly frightening.

Now, hearing him say that he might delay the Emperor’s matter, he felt uneasy.

If it was truly because of his stubbornness that he offended the Emperor, it would be a huge loss.

"Minister Zhao, please wait a moment, and we’ll report to the Emperor."

"Hmph!"

Zhao Yin coldly snorted through his nose, indicating his agreement.

Eunuch Li couldn’t help but secretly curse Zhao Yin as a cunning person, forgetting that it was due to his help when Zhao Yin first entered the Imperial Palace that he achieved his current status. Now, having achieved great success and becoming the Emperor’s favorite, he forgot the good he once received and showed his arrogance before him, truly excessive.
