Chapter 638 “State Teacher’s Beating (1)”
The guards were extremely polite to the two elders and made an inviting gesture: “Elders, please this way.”
The first elder didn’t struggle or anything, after all, he’s the one that wants to go despite not being invited. However, this wasn’t the case for the second elder. The old man in the background grew even more flustered and didn’t know what to say or do.
At the end after much pondering, the second elder could do nothing but to run out after the first. He knew there’s no way to avoid this.
……When the two first arrived at the White Moon Palace, they quickly discovered that there were a lot of people present and their eyes were all cast over to their direction. It was giving the two seniors very strange vibes, especially from Di Xiao Wan who was clearly seething with anger like a beast ready to tear them up!
“Majesty!”
Due to how emotional the first elder was, he promptly pushed the second elder aside to make his own audience. But upon meeting Di Cang’s murderous gaze upon turning around, any word the senior wanted to say were squashed. He didn’t know how to take in the situation….
“Where is my wife the Queen?” The man’s voice was dreadfully cold as he eyed both seniors now that they are here: “I will give only this one chance!”
“….” The second elder looks up in confusion after taking to the knee.
Didn’t His Majesty instruct me not to divulge the doings of Her Highness? Why is he asking me in front of so many people?
“Fire Plume!” Di Cang roars, “Take him outside and beat him to death with the rod!”The red man shuddered at the command, his eyes showing a glimmer of panic. The bird man knows enough that once the matter with the second elder was finished, he would be next in line…. However, this loyal follower also understands that this whole situation with Bai Yan leaving mainly lies in him for not carrying out the order as told. If there’s any punishment to be had, he would take it without rejection.
“Sire!”
Seeing how Fire Plume’s about to carry himself away, the second elder finally fell into a huge panic. Hurrying to speak: “But it was you who had me send my people out to monitor Her Highness, did you not? You also told me not to tell the public. I did as you instructed, but last night my people went missing and now I don’t know where the Queen is after her disappearance…”
Bang!
Di Cang’s fist directly made a hole in one of the granite tables here in the garden: “You continue!”
Making a heavy gulp at the scene. the second elder nevertheless continues his story despite the unease: “Did you forget Sire? About twenty days ago you summoned me to the mountains. There you gave me the order to monitor the Queen and all her actions.”
Twenty days ago?
The complexion in Fire Plume’s face could only be called horrific in how dreadfully pale it had become.
He’s been with the king the entire time. If he thought back to twenty days ago, Di Cang should still be at the border fighting with those from the Celestial Realm in charge of guarding the seal.
In that case, who could’ve summoned the second elder?!
“Sire, you also told me that you have no feelings for the Queen, claiming she’s only a mortal woman who gave birth to your son. You also told me she’s an unclean person who’s been keeping contact with another man from the human world and that you only promised her everything thus far is to get her to willingly marry you….”
The second elder bowed his head deeply in fear at this stage. The old timer doesn’t understand what or why he’s being told to say everything in public, but once opened he’s not going to stop because the pent-up frustration inside him has reached a boiling point as well.
“In particular is when you said the Demon Realm is especially important to you. In comparison to sacrificing a single woman, you would do it without a second thought. And there’s another part. You told me that if the Queen dares to leave this place, you would have her not be able to see the little prince again in this entire lifetime.”
Boom!
The man was so angry now that his oppressive aura was now openly seeping out, causing everyone within the White Moon Palace to feel like they’ve been thrust inside hell itself!
Step by step, the Di Cang’s murderous figure has come before the shivering elder responsible for the misunderstanding. The poor senior didn’t even dare to look up, only staring straight at the floor like it’s the only way it could keep his sanity in check.
