Coming of the Villain Boss! - Chapter 84
Chapter 84: Gorgeous Doctor (31)
The appearance of the emperor changed things again.
After all, Lord Four was one of the emperor’s sons. He had been beaten to this condition, which would force the emperor to act accordingly.
Before coming out, the emperor had known how it all started. The master of Death Valley was indeed a big shot, but the royal family was not so weak to be bullied casually.
Just as the emperor was about to get angry, Qing Chen suddenly stood on the back of the stone lion. His height became higher than the average all at once, which successfully attracted the attention of everyone.
The crowd began to hear some faint oohs and ahhs.
Qing Chen could always amaze the public whenever and wherever possible.
Like a kaleidoscope, he would show different kinds of beauty each time.
Qing Chen was very satisfied with this and smiled. “Your Majesty, I have something to report.”
The emperor unhappily frowned. How was the master of Drunken Flower Pavilion also here?
Just now, Qing Chen had been lying on the stone lion. The emperor only noticed Ming Shu and didn’t see him at all.
“What is it?” The emperor asked unhurriedly.
Death Valley, Drunken Flower Pavilion… neither were easy to deal with.
Qing Chen’s glittering eyes swept across all the people present, and his following words were clear and sweet. “Lord Four gathers his own soldiers in secret and intends to rebel.”
The crowd went into an uproar the minute Qing Chen finished his sentence.
Although the emperor didn’t change expression, his eyes revealed a frightening light.
The last thing an emperor would allow to happen was rebellion.
“Qing Chen, what are you talking about?” Lord Four took the lead to get angry, but he was restrained by Ming Shu and couldn’t move. He could only yell at Qing Chen, “I had nothing against you, why are you slandering me? Father, I’m 100% loyal to the family, he’s talking nonsense, don’t listen to an outsider!”
The emperor looked at Lord Four with a gloomy gaze, but his words were said to Qing Chen with deterrence, “Master Qing Chen, do you know what you are talking about?”
This old guy dares to deter me!
Qing Chen held back the urge to swear at the emperor and continued: “Of course, if Your Majesty wants to see evidence, our Drunken Flower Pavilion can provide it.”
The emperor gave a look to the escorts. Taking the order, the escorts immediately began to drive the crowd out.
Lord Bai, with his daughter Bai Yanran still in bad condition, didn’t know whether they should go or not. He meant to seek justice for Bai Yanran, but how did the situation finally develop into Lord Four’s rebellion?
This change was so… so fast.
“Lord Bai and Lord Xiao, you stay.” The emperor opened his mouth.
Lord Bai and Lord Xiao looked at each other but then quickly moved their eyes away. Lord Bai ordered his people to take Bai Yanran back for treatment first, then he stood aside together with Lord Xiao.
Soon the crowd was cleared out, leaving only a few involved parties.
“Lord Four, do you have anything to say?” The emperor looked at his fourth child, who was in quite an awkward situation now, and asked this. It was hard to discern the emperor’s real emotions through his majestic voice.
“Father, you must believe me, I have no plans,” Lord Four argued loudly.
Lord Four knew very well his royal father’s personality. If he couldn’t make his father believe him today, he was afraid that…
“What evidence do you have, Lord Qing Chen? Present it now.” The emperor ignored his son and asked Qing Chen for evidence. “I must remind you, Lord Qing Chen, the consequences of provoking the royal family are serious.”
“I understand, Your Majesty.” Qing Chen took out a small whistle the size of a section of bone from his clothes, blowing it. No sound came out. But soon, someone appeared out of nowhere and handed something to Qing Chen.
Someone broke through the palace gates, but the escorts didn’t notice at all. The emperor’s whole heart sank.
This Drunken Flower Pavilion had become more and more elusive.
Qing Chen’s Drunken Flower Pavilion, under the guise of a brothel, was actually in the business of collecting information, assassination, robbery, etc. It was no exaggeration to say that he knew very well the major forces throughout the whole continent.
Qing Chen handed the evidence to the emperor. Lord Four was still held by Ming Shu. He couldn’t see what Qing Chen had handed over to the emperor, so he stretched his neck to look, feeling both uneasy and angry inside.
Why did Qing Chen, the she-male, also make trouble for him?
“Guards!” the emperor suddenly roared. He looked at Lord Four with an ambiguous gaze and ordered, “Go search Lord Four’s mansion.”
“Father…” What did Qing Chen show the emperor exactly? “Father, I really am not rebelling. You must believe me, someone is making up things to slander me.”
The emperor sneered and ignored Lord Four’s pleas.
Qing Chen covered his face with a fan, revealing only a pair of fox-like eyes, and winked at Ming Shu.
Ming Shu habitually responded with a smile, glittering lights radiating out from her beautiful eyes. She looked lively and happy.
However, apart from this, one couldn’t tell any of her other emotions.
Ming Shu took out a packet of cakes from her clothes, transferred Lord Four to Liu Feng, then walked to the side, resuming her “happy time.” The emperor glanced at her, seemingly dissatisfied, but remained silent. He stood alone on one side with hands clasped behind his back, looking deep into the palace gates.
Compared to a person who only wanted to stop and interfere with Ming Shu, Qing Chen’s way of helping was obviously more “popular” with Ming Shu.
The guards sent out by the emperor soon returned, bringing back a lot of things uncovered in Lord Four’s mansion. There was not only a brand new dragon robe, but also a few captured subordinates. Frightened by the majestic image of the emperor, the captured ones confessed everything easily.
Lord Four tried to stop them from confessing, but in the face of facts, all of his arguments and explanations seemed to pale, and finally he became so angry he fainted.
“Old Four, you disappoint me.” The emperor shook his head, his majestic face showing a bit of pain, but it was immediately replaced by fury. “Guards, take Lord Four down.”
The emperor looked at Lord Bai, intentionally or unintentionally.
Under the elusive gaze of the emperor, Lord Bai suddenly became nervous.
He was aware that the emperor let him and Lord Xiao witness this scene today to deter them… Although the emperor was old now, he knew everything on the continent as if looking into a seeing glass.
Since he could punish Lord Four without any hesitation, naturally he would find ways to deal with them, who seemed to have surpassed the royal family these past years.
The guards took the order to seize Lord Four. But Liu Feng was holding Lord Four and he didn’t seem to want to let him go. After confronting each other for a little while, it seemed the two sides were going to fight again. Qing Chen spoke out in time.
“Your Majesty, may I make a request?” Qing Chen asked, but his tone was not one of asking a request.
The emperor was impatient internally, but he pretended to be listening on the surface. “What request, just say it.”
“I hope Your Majesty will leave Hong Yan to Miss Zhi Po. The man used to be a disciple of Death Valley, and it is reasonable to let Death Valley punish him.”
The guard beside the emperor whispered something in his ear.
Pondering for some time, the emperor answered, “The request is granted. Once that person is arrested, he will be transferred to Death Valley. But… I hope master Qing Chen will not intervene in the royal family’s affairs.”
“I’m busy, all right?” Qing Chen couldn’t help rolling his eyes.
“What did you say, Master Qing Chen?”
Qing Chen immediately forced a smile. “Nothing, Your Majesty, please rest assured. I’m not interested in the royal family’s affairs.”
“Remember what you said today.”
The emperor glanced at Ming Shu, who was still eating, then he sneered and left with his guards.
Liu Feng let go of Lord Four with the consent of Ming Shu. But Ming Shu came forward suddenly and knocked out one of Lord Four’s front teeth in front of the remaining onlookers. She shook her fist and waved. “Okay, take him away.”
“…” Your Majesty, come back! Look what this woman has done!
Liu Feng’s face twitched with his speechlessness. He was 100% sure that if Miss and the master of Drunken Flower Pavilion teamed up, the entire continent would not be enough for them to play with.
Lord Bai and Lord Xiao had their own scheming to do and had no intention to stay, so they also left. Before he made his exit, Lord Bai gave Ming Shu a hostile and meaningful look.
