Useless
After drinking a third of the tea, the Saintess could not endure it anymore and begged for mercy.
Zhang Ronghua pretended not to hear and continued to drink his tea.
After drinking the cup of tea, he handed it to his cousin and stopped in front of her again. He waved his hand and temporarily relieved the pain in her body. âTell me!â
âOld Man Seven Absolutes.â
âWhere?â
âHe should be in the capital. Iâm not sure where he is.â
Seeing that Zhang Ronghua did not believe her and was about to attack again, the Saintess hurriedly corrected her words, âAccording to our agreement, when the plan succeeds, he will take the initiative to find me.â
This was all they found out.
Although the matter of the Tenth Prince had been sealed, so many people were imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. The soldiers of the Five City Defense Divisions had been sealed. Only they knew if they would secretly tell others.
Coupled with the palace, it was impossible for the mastermind to not know the many actions of the Xia Emperor.
At this moment, Old Man Seven Absolutes was probably hiding deeper than a rat. How could he show his face if he found a rat hole to hide in?
âIâll leave it to you.â
After saying that, Zhang Ronghua left with his cousin.
He returned to Xuanhe Hall.
His cousin was waiting at the door. He entered the hall and told him the news.
âThe reputation of the imperial family has been completely lost by this trash!â The Crown Prince slapped the table in anger.
âWhat happens next is no longer something you can interfere in. You performed well this time. Youâll be promoted to the deputy commander of the Flood Dragon Guard.â
He looked at the door.
âLet your cousin in!â
âCome here.â
Hearing his cousinâs voice, Zheng Fugui ran in. Although he was rash, he still bowed and cupped his fists, âZheng Fugui greets Your Highness!â
âWhat reward did I hear you ask about just now?â
âThis, thisâŠâ
Seeing him touch the back of his head in an honest manner, the Crown Prince smiled in a rare manner.
âYouâve also contributed to this matter. Tell me! What do you want?â
âI want to enter the Flood Dragon Guard.â
âYour cousin can authorize that. Make another request.â
Growl!
His stomach let out a disappointing cry. He had been busy since noon and had lived until now. The sky was almost dark and he had not even taken a sip of water. When he thought of the delicious food of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, he blurted out, âI want to eat the feast of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant.â
âHahaâŠâ The Crown Prince was amused.
He looked at Qingâer.
âBook the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant and let them eat to their heartâs content tonight.â
After a pause, he spoke again.
âAlthough youâve just entered the Flood Dragon Guard, your cultivation is good. Coupled with the credit of this time, Iâll promote you to captain.â
âThank you, Your Highness!â
When he left the hall, he was still smiling from ear to ear. The captain was in charge of 50 subordinates. Was this considered reaching the heavens in a single step?
He changed into the flood dragon armor and hung the flood dragon sword. He was wearing black armor and looked very energetic and imposing.
He spun in front of Zhang Ronghua and grinned, âHandsome?â
âSecond in the world.â
âWhoâs first?â
âOf course itâs me.â
âThen I have no objections.â
As he spoke, he left the East Palace and walked towards the Heavenly Fragrance Building.
Halfway there.
Zheng Fugui recalled something else and asked, âWhat should we do with them?â
âThis concerns the reputation of the imperial family. The Tenth Prince will be given a cup of poisonous wine. The others will be secretly executed.â
The result was similar to Zhang Ronghuaâs guess.
As the Crown Prince entered the palace overnight and sent over the evidence he had grasped, the poisonous wine in the palace had already been sent to the Tenth Prince. He had to drink it even if he did not want to.
The others, including Concubine Wanâs family, were secretly executed.
Old Man Seven Absolutes was captured by the people of the True Dragon Hall. The True Dragon Hall was one of the four great departments of the Great Xia Empire. It was specially used to deal with demons, ghosts, and sects. It had monstrous power and was in the hands of the Xia Emperor.
They arrived at the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant.
The shopkeeper was a beautiful woman called Xiao Mi. She was about 26 or 27 years old. Her entire body emitted a ripe smell, like a peach, causing people to want to take a bite.
She quickly walked forward and bowed, âGreetings, Lords!â
âIs the food and wine ready?â
âThe chef personally took action. Itâs already done. Weâre just waiting for you.â
They went straight to the third floor, in the largest and most luxurious single room.
Xiao Mi clapped her hands and the maid served the delicious food one by one. She placed them on the table. There were a total of 21 dishes, all made from the meat of demon beasts. Their appearance was exquisite and the fragrance assaulted the nose.
She placed another pot of wine on the table and introduced, âThis is the Sky Jade Brew sent by the East Palace. They asked me to hand it to the two lords.â
She kept her gaze on the wine pot.
The golden wine pot was adorned with mountains, rivers, sun, and moon. It was very beautiful.
Zhang Ronghua noticed it. âYou want to drink it?â
Xiao Mi hesitated and gritted her teeth. In the end, she could not resist the temptation and nodded lightly.
The reputation of the Sky Jade Brew was too great. It was even a spirit wine that was priceless and extremely rare. It was specially provided for the members of the imperial family to enjoy. Even a prince could only drink a pot a month.
It could not even be seen on the market. Even if she had run the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant for so many years, she had only heard of it and had never drunk it.
Now that the opportunity was in front of her, desire overcame reason, so she spoke presumptuously.
She said, âA glass of wine for 1,000 taels!â
âMoney is not omnipotent. There are many things in this world that money canât buy,â Zhang Ronghua said.
âI misspoke! I wonât disturb the two lordsâ meal. Iâll wait outside. Call me if you need me.â
The door closed.
Zheng Fugui was still red in the face and did not say a word from the beginning to the end. He was still very nervous.
Zhang Ronghua teased, âDonât tell me you fancy her?â
âNonsense!â
âYou better not have such thoughts. If Uncle finds out that youâre looking for someone 11 years older, heâll break your legs.â
He took the wine pot and poured two cups. The wine was golden in color and contained dense spiritual energy. It was fragrant and dense.
Zhang Ronghua took a sip and put down the wine glass. He sighed, âA glass of wine is comparable to a low-grade Profound-rank medicinal pill without any side effects. Coupled with the lingering taste, no wonder itâs so famous.â
Halfway through, he stood up from his chair. âIâll go relieve myself.â
Seeing his cousin leave, Zheng Fugui felt guilty. He secretly poured a glass of wine and arrived at Xiao Miâs place. He blushed and stammered, âHere!â
âThat lord knows?â
âHeâs my cousin. Hurry up and drink it. When he comes back from the toilet, you wonât have the chance.â
âIâll give you money.â
âI donât want money! Hurry up.â
Xiao Mi still could not help but take the wine glass and drink it in one go. Feeling the delicacy of the Sky Jade Brew, she sighed, âMoney is indeed not omnipotent.â
She added, âThank you!â
When Zhang Ronghua returned, he saw that his cousin was restless and lowered his head to eat. He asked curiously, âWhatâs wrong?â
âThis dish is too delicious. Cousin, eat more.â
Zhang Ronghua did not think too much about it and continued to eat.
After drinking the Sky Jade Brew, the dishes were also finished.
This meal was very worth it.
After leaving the restaurant, he walked towards his new home.
