Chapter 412: Inside the Imperial Study
The Central Plains Dynasty.
Inside the Imperial Study in the Imperial City.
Emperor Xuanyuan Wuji sat at his desk, his brows furrowed, his face deep in thought.
Beside him was his newly acquired concubine, Consort Lan, massaging him.
"Your Majesty, you need not worry too much. This matter has not escalated to such an extent yet. I do not think that girl is a threat. Who could possibly be backing her up? As long as Your Majesty gives the order to send someone to serve her, she will surely die."
Consort Lan comforted her.
Xuanyuan Wuji shook his head: "You don't understand. Although that girl's cultivation is low and she doesn't seem to have any experts around her, I always feel that she is not simple. Acting rashly will only be disadvantageous."
He is currently in a state of mixed distress and anger.
The reason for his anger was simple: his most beloved, youngest, and most talented seventeenth son, Xuanyuan Sheng, had his left hand crippled in public!
Isn't this utterly disgracing the Central Plains royal family?
Seeing that Xuanyuan Sheng had gone to that immortal realm and returned empty-handed, even losing his left hand, Xuanyuan Sheng complained, which angered Xuanyuan Wuji so much that he banished Xuanyuan Sheng to the cold palace.
I spoiled him too much in the past, and his spoiled and arrogant mother is now causing trouble.
Now the Central Plains Dynasty has suffered a huge loss!
After punishing Xuanyuan Sheng.
The one we need to deal with is that brat who publicly declared she would "attack the Central Plains Imperial City and make those who deceive and steal the world pay the price." The Central Plains royal family has really shot themselves in the foot this time, but that doesn't matter.
Even if our ancestors lied and deceived many people into serving them in order to conquer the country, so what?
Didn't we still manage to conquer the country?
Now, this enormous dynasty that occupies the Central Plains is the best proof of the victor!
Why should the victors be blamed?
They're also deceiving the world and stealing fame.
That little yellow-haired girl can't expect anything good to come out of her mouth.
But how to deal with her was a bit of a challenge for Xuanyuan Wuji.
He actually obtained all of Qin Yiyao's information at the very first moment. The Central State Dynasty's spies were all over the Xuan Tian Realm, even as far away as the eastern border.
However, the information sent back by the scouts made Xuan Yuan Wuji hesitant to act rashly. This was because the brat named Qin Yiyao had no one by her side; it seemed she had lived in that small place called Yunling City since birth, in the Sun Flame Dynasty.
That's the poorest corner of a small place.
The only family member, or rather "master," is a mortal doctor who runs a clinic in Yunling City and keeps a small cat that a mortal could easily crush with a single step.
It seems.
This Qin Yiyao is basically all alone.
He had no background, no powerful connections, and all he had was his ancestral bloodline and a rare magical artifact.
There was very little information, it seemed to be just that. The parents' situation was also unclear, and digging deeper wouldn't uncover anything else. Logically speaking, she was just a weakling who was not to be feared at all, and there was absolutely nothing to be afraid of.
But this is precisely what makes Xuanyuan Wuji wary.
She clearly has no powerful backing, yet she dares to publicly provoke the Central Plains Dynasty? Something's not right!
Her reliance was by no means limited to that magical artifact alone.
Xuanyuan Wuji was a very cautious person.
He had witnessed how many forces, by initially underestimating those seemingly insignificant weaklings, ended up making foolish mistakes and ultimately bringing about their own demise.
The Central Plains Dynasty has lasted for hundreds of generations, and its reign is expected to last for more than ten thousand years. How could it collapse in his generation?
But if we just leave it alone, sooner or later, Qin Yiyao will grow up, and then even if the Central Continent Dynasty tries its best to deal with her, it will only become an ant...
Moreover, some unsettling voices have begun to emerge within the Central Plains Dynasty.
It's a dilemma.
“Your Majesty, caution is certainly beneficial, but if we continue to be so cautious, won’t that allow the rumors outside to continue to spread, making things even more difficult to handle later…” Consort Lan’s voice, like a silent snake, darted into Xuanyuan Wuji’s ears.
She was Xuanyuan Wuji's bedmate, so she naturally knew this man's character.
Therefore, a simple reminder is enough.
And this time.
"boom!"
The door to the imperial study was pushed open, and a beautiful woman with a captivating charm strode in, her anger palpable.
"Your Majesty! My son has already lost his left hand. Do you still intend to send him to the cold palace to reflect on his actions?!"
Among all the concubines, Consort Shu was considered particularly arrogant. After all, she came from a prominent family in the Central Plains Dynasty, and the patriarch was a sage who helped the royal family guard the southern border of the Central Plains.
Not to mention that having Xuanyuan Sheng gave her even more confidence in the palace, where a mother's status depended on her son. Now, with her son's arm severed, she disregarded her image and stormed into the imperial study to question Xuanyuan Wuji.
Although Consort Shu herself didn't have a very presentable image.
"calm down."
Xuanyuan Wuji frowned and said coldly.
This Consort Shu is becoming more and more domineering!
"Calm down?! If I calm down, what will happen to Sheng'er?!"
Consort Shu said angrily, "Your Majesty! Kill that little wretch immediately to restore the prestige of our Central Plains Dynasty!"
