"Elder Qianji, you don't believe that it will work?" The King asked with displeasure.

He had made a perfect plan, and yet now he was being questioned about it? He was really annoyed. He had arranged many imperial soldiers to surround Lord Huai, so it would not be difficult to get Lord Huai to the court. What was the point of questioning him about it?

Elder Qianji was not even bothered to speak with someone so arrogant.

All they needed to do was to wait for the result.

Sure enough…

After some cups of tea, Elder Qianji saw the men that the King arranged to do the mission return, looking anxious. After all, just before they went out to do the mission, eunuch De Fu was imprisoned. They were very afraid about their future, since someone like De Fu could be punished like this.

"My King, when we arrived at Lord Huai's Mansion, Lord Huai wasn't there. The imperial army did not know what was going on. They are now all going about looking for him. King, what should we do?" the imperial soldier asked.

What?!

The King sprang up in fury.

Lord Huai wasn't in Lord Huai's Mansion?

He had arranged 500 people to guard Lord Huai's Mansion, and yet they had no idea that that man was gone until he arranged for him to be escorted here.

What was going on?

"Go and find Lord Huai! Look inside Lord Huai's Mansion and outside as well! Close the gate, and no one is allowed to go in and out! Make wanted posters too, now! Anyone who sees Lord Huai and reports it will be given 10,000 liang! Anyone who can escort Lord Huai to the governmental office will be given 10,000 liang in gold as well as official title and mansions! Go now!" The King bellowed. "De Fu, I will make an imperial order now!"

Hearing that, the imperial soldier nodded and quit.

No one responded to the King about his order. The King furiously bellowed. "De Fu!"

People exchanged a strange look between themselves.

De Fu had been just sent into prison for a while and yet the King seemed to have forgotten about it.

One of De Fu's disciples asked with a shivering voice. "My King, I will serve you instead."

"Who do you think…" The King suddenly thought of something and supressed his anger. "Come and serve me."

De Fu was no longer mentioned.

De Fu had been serving him for dozens of years and he was used to that.

He should not have done that to De Fu, but he was the King and he could not recall his order.

Anyway… the King was in the middle of writing the imperial order.

Elder Qianji added. "I told you, King, that you are doing everything in vain, and so it is."

"…"

"This solution won't work. King, think of other solutions. You have five days, if you can't get the Golden Rolls, we will no longer give you the pills. We will get the Golden Rolls alone," Elder Qianji said expressionlessly. Then he left.

The King was furious, but he had no choice but to nod.

He did not dare to throw his temper at people from Piaomiao Pavilion.

When the imperial order was given… the King became even more angry. He smashed everything in Qianqing Palace, so that he could feel slightly better.

Then he went to Weiyang Palace.

That was where the Queen lived when she was alive. Weiyang Palace was empty since the new Queen was never set up.

Honored Princess Jing had always wanted to move in, but was turned down by him subconsciously.

The Queen…
