Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Asking For The Talented Alchemist

"Then, why do you ask me?" Bai Xifeng rolled her eyes.

Liu Longwei did not get angry. Instead, he was grinning foolishly.

Everyone who watched the interaction understood that this was not the first time that Liu Longwei had done something like this.

Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng also glared at Liu Longwei.

"You are that trash, a good for nothing?" Liu Lan could not help but speak like that.

This time, Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng glared at Liu Lan. Liu Lan felt that he had spoken something bad, and stepped back. He heard about Bai Xiang. He was scared that he might do something to him.

"You are good for nothing. Your family is good for nothing." Bai Xifeng replied.

Everyone was shocked when they heard Bai Xifeng speak like that. She was insulting the royal family in front of the royal family members in the Palace.

"Lady Bai, please don’t say something like that." The second prince, Liu Wang interrupted.

"So, I don’t say something like that about the royal family member. When it is your turn, is it okay to insult others? What a double standard you have." Bai Xifeng snorted.

Liu Wang frowned as he heard this. This woman, can she read the situation properly? It would be no good for her to speak like that about the royal family.

"You... I will tell my concubine mother about this." Liu Lan said angrily.

"Wow... a mama boy. A live version." Bai Xifeng smirked.

Everyone heard the statement. But none of them could understand the meaning of that.

Bai Xifeng did not stop here. "How old are you? Still going to complain to your mother? Am I going to be sent to the military camp if you angered me? Just like you did to my fiance?"

So, it was true that the third Prince had been sent to the military camp because of the fourth Prince. From what they had gathered, the fourth Prince went to complain to his concubine mother, the Noble Consort Furen about the third prince. Then the third prince had been sent to the military camp.

Who did not know about the danger of living at the military camp? The enemy could attack them. The fourth Prince really tried to kill the third prince.

The second prince, Liu Wang stared at Bai Xifeng. This woman was throwing the dirty water on the fourth Prince and also the Noble Consort Furen. Well, he was quite happy with this outcome.

Bai Xifeng noticed the stare, looked at Liu Wang, and rolled her eyes. This prince thought I was helping him? What a joke. She never wanted to help him.

"His Majesty, the emperor, Her Majesty, the empress, Her Highness, the Noble Consort Furen, Her Highness, Noble Consort Guifei, Her Highness, Noble Consort, Guipin and Her Highness, Cai Ren has arrived." The eunuch announced their arrival.

Once again, everyone kneeled down except the Bai Xiang’s family. The emperor led his wives to the assigned table. Only women who gave birth to the emperor’s child would be allowed to join this banquet. Others could just stay in her courtyard.

Bai Xifeng was from the modern world. So, polygamy was not a thing for her. She detested a man who had a lot of women by his side.

Bai Xifeng looked at the emperor. This man was not so handsome. It was so-so. He then looked at Liu Longwei. Liu Longwei happened to look at her and grinned foolishly at her.

Bai Xifeng nodded as she confirmed her thought. This man probably inherited his look from his mother. She heard that his mother was a princess from a ruined kingdom. The emperor fell in love with her and he brought her back and made her a noble Consort. She gave birth to the third prince and died when the third prince was 3 years old.

"Welcome to the banquet. Today, we would be celebrating our Great-General who had stayed at the borderline to protect our empire. Let’s raise a toast for our Great-General Bai." The emperor raised a glass.

Everyone followed his lead raising the glass up. They drink the wine that has been prepared for them.

Bai Xifeng also drank the wine. She tasted the wine. It was not that delicious.

The emperor started to praise Bai Xiang for his victory in snatching a territory owned by the Yue Kingdom. Then the emperor started to ask about the talented alchemist.

"General Bai, why don’t you ask the talented alchemist to come here with you?" The emperor asked.

"I am sorry, Your Majesty. That man had his own plan. I received the news that he had left the military camp after we departed." Bai Xiang said.

The emperor frowned. "Why is he doing this? Is he a spy from another nation that wanted to see our military secret?"

"I don’t think so, Your Majesty. If he wants to steal our secret, why did he give me a pill that allow me to breakthrough into Nascent Realm?" Bai Xiang denies the allegation.

A light flashed in Bai Xiang’s eyes. How dare you accuse my daughter of something like that? If my daughter wanted the military secret, I would give it to her. That daughter of his was lazy. She would not want it even if he handed over this empire to her.

"He is from a hidden clan. He comes out to gain some experience. He probably goes to somewhere else to gain the experience." Bai Xiang said.
