Chapter 760 – Who is the Enemy

With a “pa da” sound, the full ink red brush fell from Chen Wunuo’s hands onto the table. The red spot made it look like a wound, giving off a feeling that blood was still warm. The news traveled very quickly from the Northwest. Not long after the Buddha activated the teleportation circle to the Northwest, news of Chen Zhongqi’s death reached Chen Wunuo’s ears.

Wen En stood beside Chen Wunuo, feeling extremely afraid in his heart. It was because he discovered that the Sacred Emperor seemed to have aged several tens of years in that instant. The Sacred Emperor had always been a person that could make people disregard his age. He himself was alserson that could ignore the passage of time … It was only at this moment that the traces of time on his body would bared their fangs and brandished their claws so brazenly.

Who is Chen Wunuo?

He was a super existence that could suppress anything negative in his charm and cultivation level. He could walk on the streets while wearing cloth clothes to obliterate all living beings, but when he was willing to display his strength, the whole world’s people would worship him.

However, at this moment, he seemed to be unable to suppress his emotions.

He was silent, a terrible silence.

“Your Highness...” Your Majesty. ”

Wen En uttered in a probing voice, but he realized that his voice was a little hoarse. The Sacred Emperor clearly did not display anything, but that kind of bone scraping grief made Wen En’s heart tighten as well.

“Hmm?”

Chen Wunuo tilted his head as he looked at Wen En, then laughed, and actually laughed. Ye Zichen smiled as if nothing had happened … It was just as if nothing had happened.

“I’ve dropped my red ink brush, help me change another one.”

“Yes.”

Wen En immediately turned around, thinking that with the Emperor being so calm, it must not be a good thing.

Just as he turned around, Chen Wunuo, who was behind him, suddenly could no longer stay still. With a crashing sound, he swept all the memorials on the table to the floor, along with the expensive tea set and the items displayed on the expensive table.

Bang!

The table was kicked away by him and smashed into pieces against the wall.

The imperial report fell to the ground, and the ink from the inkstone spilled out, leaving a shocking red mark on the wall. Wen En knelt down withump, pressing his forehead against the ground. “Your Majesty, your Majesty is grieving for you.”

“Suicide?”

Chen Wunuo held a piece of jade in his hand and it instantly turned into fine powder that fell to the ground.

“I, Chen Wunuo’s son, actually committed suicide?”

He let go of the jade and it disappeared into nothingness.

Wen En knelt at the place where the voice was trembling and said, “From the news I received from the Buddha, it seems to be true. Even the Yuwen Clan did not think about this, the assassin obviously came prepared at the time. Not only did he want to kill the Duke, he even wanted to kill Yu Wende. The person who attacked was so powerful that even Su Mengmu could not stop him … However, it is not that there are no doubts because Yuwen Fang did not make his move. ”

“He’s afraid of death!”

Chen Wunuo’s face was ashen, veins on his forehead were popping up. “He knows that quite a few experts from the Summoning the Spiritual World have gone to the northwest, and are only waiting for him to reveal a flaw. “My subject actually dares not to protect my son for his own life.”

He turned his head abruptly with reddened eyes, “Tell me, is there any use in me keeping such a vassal?”

Wen En continued to kowtow, “Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Your Majesty’s body is more important … This old servant has already replied to the Buddha, telling him to thoroughly investigate everything, and not to let go of even the slightest detail. ”

“Yu Wende has already rushed over from the northwest. He knows that he cannot escape the death penalty, so he personally came to Jinling to die.”

Chen Wunuo slammed the imperial report on the table. He didn’t look like a Saint King at all. Wen En had followed him for many years, but this was the first time he had seen the Sacred Emperor have such a side to him. He originally thought that he understood the Sacred Emperor well enough to be able to work by his side, but now, he suddenly realized … Actually, he didn’t know anything about the Sacred Emperor. The reason he was able to follow the Sacred Emperor in the First Extreme Temple was because the Sacred Emperor understood him.

Yes, it’s not that I understand your majesty, it’s that your majesty understands me.

When he thought of this, Wen En felt a wave of lingering fear. If he were to really use the little bit of trust that the Saint King had in him to do whatever he wanted, he would have died many, many times over already.

“He came to die?”

Chen Wunuo walked to the window and looked a little calmer than before: “He wants to use his own life to protect their Yuwen Clan, but his life can be exchanged with ours for a life?”

“Your Majesty … This matter is indeed a bit bizarre. No matter what, Yuwen Clan cannot let go of this responsibility.

“Bigger …”

Chen Wunuo raised his hand as if he wanted to cut something, but in the end, his hand just stood there stiffly.

“If... If only Fang Zheng was here. ”

He suddenly said this sentence, causing Wen En to tremble in fear. Wen En subconsciously raised his head to look at Chen Wunuo, but he realized that he was unable to see through the expression on the face of the Sacred Emperor, and he was also unable to discern the actual meaning of his Majesty’s words. It was good enough that Fang Zheng was still alive. If only Fang Zheng was still alive, suching wouldn’t have happened.

And everyone in the Holy See knew that Fang Zheng’s death was closely related to the recently passed Prince.

Chen Wunuo’s hand, which was frozen in midair, suddenly clenched tightly, as if he had grabbed onto something ruthlessly. It was as if he had just crushed that piece of jade, and it was so ruthless that Wen En wanted to pounce over and pry open his Majesty’s finger, worried that his nails would pierce through his palm.

“Pick up the imperial report and send it to me at a different table.”

Chen Wunuo’s tone suddenly became calm, as if nothing had happened. When he turned around, there was no longer any expression of sadness on his face. The anger, sadness, and other complicated things all disappeared. Everything that had happened just now seemed to be just Wen En’s imagination, or as if time had suddenly stopped, and something had been erased by the flow of time, Wen En did not see anything.

Chen Wunuo sat down on the chair and closed his eyes, “The table is broken, let’s change it to something even bigger.

He pointed outside and said, “Clean Jingyuan up, I plan to move in there for a while. The matters of the Holy See, you can report it to the quiet garden in the future. ”

He waved his hand. “Just leave the new table by the quiet garden.”

Wen En crawled on the ground as he retreated, only after getting to the door did he dare to stand up. When he walked out of First Extreme Palace, he felt that his clothes were already drenched, and unknowingly, he was sweating so much. In that short period of time, no one could guess how many things the Holy Emperor had been thinking of in his heart. Wen En knew that he couldn’t do it, and if his master, Su Ruhai was here, he might be able to guess a bit more than, but it was meaningless.

Thinking of Su Ruhai, the news that he had come out of seclusion. He just remembered that he didn’t have the time to mention this matter to His Majesty. Thinking about the reaction of his Majesty just now, Wen En decided to wait until his Majesty calmed down.

The quiet garden had been abandoned for a long, long time.

The quiet park was next to Yanying Palace, which was the residence of the Divine Empress.

Wen En suddenly realised what his Majesty meant … His son was already dead, and the saddest person in the world was his mother. The Sacred Emperor had to consider too many things, so when he broke down, his sorrow would be transformed while the Divine Empress would be different … The Divine Empress had never participated in the matters of the Holy See, nor had she spread the news. She lived in seclusion in Yanying Palace, to the point where people often neglected the Divine Empress’s existence.

But if anyone truly neglected the Divine Empress’s existence, then it could only be said that he was an idiot. Some people said that Yuwen Clan of the Northwest was one of the large clans with the lowest status. Even though it was the only family in the Great Xi Empire that had been conferred the title of a king of the opposite sex, it had never once left the Northwest. However, for those who thought like that, they had already forgotten what the difference was between the Yuwen Clan and the Divine Empress’s clan.

The Great Xixi Kingdom has existed for thousands of years. The Divine Empress has only given birth to the eldest grandson … The empress dowager of the main palace of the previous Sacred Emperors all had the surname of eldest grandson. No one knew what role this mysterious and low-key family played in Da Xi. His Majesty had suddenly asked to move to the quiet garden … It was clearly to appease the Divine Empress, but was it really just to appease the Divine Empress herself?

If the Divine Empress got angry, would that huge and mysterious clan emerge from the water?

Wen En was so scared that his heart was trembling... The consequences of this incident were far more complicated than they had imagined. If the Divine Empress was unable to accept the fact that her child had died in Yuwen Clan of the Northwest, the Divine Empress’s family would pursue the responsibility of the Yuwen Clan, so how could His Majesty pacify them? Even if the king were to pacify him, could he do so?

If there was any conflict between the Zhangsun clan and Yuwen clan, it would definitely not be a blessing in disguise.

Hope... I hope that the Divine Empress still does not know of this matter. Let His Majesty have enough time to resolve it.

Wen En prayed in his heart before speeding up his footsteps.

Yanying Palace

The Divine Empress sat upright on a chair, her expression neither sad nor happy, and when she heard the news, she did not even react in the slightest. She only waved her hand to tell the person reporting the news to withdraw and then said two words lightly … I know.

In the current world, there were many beauties that were renowned throughout the world. For example, the previous number one beauty of the martial arts world, Xu Meidai. There were many, many others. This kind of situation would always cause many people to daydream about it. However, only those who had seen the Divine Empress knew that even if those legendary women were even more beautiful, they would still not be able to reach the Divine Empress’s level.

Because the Divine Empress was not only beautiful, she was also tall.

This tall man was noall man, but rather a naturally formed being. Even the most outstanding girl in front of her would be imperceptibly shorter than her. Although she never went out as if she had locked herself up in Yan Ying Palace, that kind of majestic aura still wasn’t something that could be restrained.

“Boots, call Uncle Wu in.”

Her tone was as flat as ever, without even the slightest bit of trembling. Compared to the Saint King who slammed the imperial report down on the table in the First Extreme Temple, she was terrifyingly quiet. No one knew just how much of an untouchable power she had hidden in this silence.

The maid that called for Boots hurriedly ran out. She could see how much pain the Divine Empress was in, even though the Divine Empress had not expressed anything.

The old man known as Fifth Uncle quickly walked in and bowed down. “Empress, is there something you need for me?”

“An item is dead.”

The Zhangsun Divine Empress spoke word by word, as if she was reciting something. Under this extremely oppressive atmosphere, she spoke word by word, causing everyone’s heart to feel as cold as the wind and snow.

“This... “How is this possible?!”

Fifth Uncle’s face instantly turned snow-white.

“I’ll have to trouble Fifth Uncle to take a look at the northwest for me, then help me bring the item back.”

“But Your Highness, His Highness has been relegated to the northwest … “Without the decree of the Sacred Emperor, we can’t even bring back a corpse.”

“Fifth Uncle, what’s your surname?”

“Surnamed Zhangsun …”

The Divine Empress acknowledged, “Since you haven’t forgotten your surname, then do as I say. “Bring the corpse back and help me ask who the enemy is, Yuwen Clan.”

She raised her hand and slowly moved it across her face. “I won’t listen to any explanation. I will only ask who my enemy is.”
