Chapter 116: The Ups and Downs in the Palace
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Ke Ruan stood in front of the officials. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he couldn’t help but turn sideways and look over.

The next second, he was stunned.

The person was wearing a moon-white silk robe, with a blue leather belt patterned by dignified and graceful composite flowers tied around his waist. His black hair was worn in two pigtails and tied up by the hair crown. In front of his forehead, there was a white hair wiping. He had a pair of fathomless starry eyes and he was very thin.

Qi Cheng had had whiskers for such a long time that Ke Ruan completely forgot that he was still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.

With this posture, he certainly looked like the ‘handsome youth’. Compared to the modern ones, he looked more mature, with his brows full of heroic spirit.

However, this was not important. The most important thing was that Qi Cheng’s dressing was obviously in mourning. Walking to the center of the throne room, he was neither haughty nor humble. He stood there without any movement, let alone respectfully calling Ke Ruan “Your Majesty”.

Ke Ruan couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up in his heart, feeling worried as well.

“Qi Cheng, what are you doing? This is treason.”

Sure enough, a minister soon spoke.

Qi Cheng said coldly, “How come this is treason?”

Lin Qingye’s eyes were full of worry. Just as he was about to say something, Qi Cheng seemed to know that Lin Qingye wanted to plead for him and said, “General Lin, you don’t have to speak for me.”

The officials began to discuss noisily, while Ke Zhan on the dragon chair did not look angry and raised his hand to silence them.

Qi Cheng looked at Ke Zhan. “Today I come here only for two things. First, even if the grievances of the Qi family are cleared, none of the 107 lives can see it.”

Got it. He doesn’t forgive Ke Zhan.

“Second, General Weiyuan is my father’s official position. I don’t dare to use it.”

Hurriedly winking at Lin Qingye, Ke Ruan signaled that Qi Cheng couldn’t go on. Didn’t he see that his father’s expression was getting worse and worse?

Ke Zhan was the ruler of a country after all. He was already a praiseworthy emperor, for he could write a decree blaming himself. Now Qi Cheng made him embarassed again and again. Even Ke Ruan felt that he could not bear it anymore, let alone Ke Zhan.

“Qi Cheng, you’re too arrogant.”

“That’s right, this is a blessing from His Majesty. Better be grateful for that.”

“That’s right.”

……

Qi Cheng smiled coldly and lowered his eyes. Ke Ruan trembled. Brother, calm down.

He was the only son of the Qi family. Whywas he so stubborn?

“Continue,” Ke Zhan said with anger.

Qi Cheng said, “Therefore, Your Majesty, please restore the name of General Weiyuan to my father, not me. Honest men make great contributions and accomplish great tasks by themselves. Even if I want a title, it should be attained by myself. Also, Your Majesty, please allow me to act under General Lin’s command.”

At that moment, Ke Ruan felt that all the tense and serious atmosphere in the throne room was swept away. Ke Ruan and Lin Qingye both let out a sigh of relief.

This was the highest realm of pretending.

If not on this occasion, Ke Ruan would have applauded him.

Ke Zhan’s expression was instantly relaxed. Compared to Qi Cheng’s insistence on going against him, Ke Zhan naturally ignored his small self and the previous disrespect.

“Alright. You deserve to be the son of General Weiyuan. I agree.”

No one saw Qi Cheng’s coldness hidden under his long eyelashes. How could he forgive his family grudges with a simple decree? His father dedicated his whole life to the country. How could his loyalty come back with a simple restoration of the title?

But…

Looking at Lin Qingye, Qi Cheng could only see his side profile from this position. His cold eyes suddenly softened.
