Chapter 985 (The Death of Ye Hua)
Stepping lightly, Cheng Tian raised his head slightly. The lights in the Emperor’s sleeping palace were still on; he probably hadn’t slept yet.
“Your Majesty! Something big has happened!” Cheng Tian’s volume increased involuntarily. He had to wake up the emperor.
After shouting, Cheng Tian lowered his head, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. Even now, it felt like he was in a dream.
That damned Ye Hua, why is he still alive? Why hasn’t fate taken him away! Why does he continue to reappear!
“What’s all this noise! What big thing happened! Is this emperor about to die?” The voice of Huang Fei echoed in the sleeping palace, filled with deep dissatisfaction, as if his actions were being interrupted.
As the emperor spoke, Cheng Tian could hear the displeasure of a woman, some coquetry, and the emperor’s comforting words.
“Your Majesty, I have urgent matters to report, it’s of utmost importance!” Cheng Tian hurriedly declared.
A cold drink came from inside the room, and not long after, Cheng Tian felt the door in front of him being opened.
Bowing his body, Cheng Tian walked in with small, hurried steps.
Inside, Huang Fei, dressed in a white robe, sat in the study, pouring himself a cup of water.
“You disturbed this emperor’s leisure today. If there isn’t a sufficient reason, you should know the consequences!” Huang Fei said slowly without even looking at Cheng Tian, as if he was being interrupted in the middle of something.
Being with the emperor is like being with a tiger; there are no permanent favourites.
Cheng Tian directly knelt down at Huang Fei’s feet, respectfully saying, “Your Majesty, forgive me. I… I am incompetent!”
“Letting you go to the Ye family, how can you say you are incompetent? Does Ye Shen still dare to trouble you?!” Huang Fei questioned sternly.
Cheng Tian took a deep breath and knelt even lower.
“Your Majesty, it’s not Ye Shen from the Ye family who troubles me; it’s Ye Hua!!”
Huang Fei snorted, “Ye Hua?”
Judging by the emperor’s expression, it seemed he hadn’t recalled yet.
But just as he was about to take a sip of water, Huang Fei froze, looking down at Cheng Tian at his feet, “What did you just say!!!”
“Your Majesty! In the Ye family, Ye Hua is not dead! He has returned!!”
A crisp sound rang out.
The tea cup in Huang Fei’s hand fell to the ground, not out of fear but surprise.
As the cup shattered, numerous black-clad figures emerged from all directions; these were the people secretly protecting the emperor.
“Step back!” Huang Fei lightly commanded.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” In the blink of an eye, they all disappeared.
Seeing the emperor’s strong reaction, Cheng Tian also felt a bit flustered. He couldn’t understand why the emperor would react this way. Was it fear or something else?
“You mean the eldest son of the Ye family, Ye Hua?” Huang Fei slightly tilted his body, solemnly asking Cheng Tian.
Cheng Tian dared not look directly at Huang Fei and bowed sincerely, saying, “Yes, it’s that Ye Hua!”
Upon hearing this answer, Huang Fei slowly closed his eyes. That damned Ye Hua!
Why hasn’t he died yet? Wasn’t he supposed to be dead long ago? How did he come back again?
“Tell me everything you observed tonight!”
“Yes!”
As Cheng Tian recounted the events, Huang Fei’s gaze gradually became more serious.
The moment Ye Hua returned, he not only challenged him but also dismantled a large part of the Ye family. Is this still the same Ye Hua from before?
Huang Fei chuckled lightly. This Ye Hua is quite intriguing; he even seems to have lost his memory. Such a situation is indeed interesting!
‘However, Ye Hua! You shouldn’t have come back! Your return will displease many, including this emperor!’
“You may leave!”
“Yes!”
With respectful withdrawal, Cheng Tian, no matter how capable, was just a royal guard, essentially a shield for the emperor.
It’s that simple.
Some important matters were beyond Cheng Tian’s involvement.
Sitting in the study, Huang Fei had no mood for intimate moments with women. Faced with Ye Hua’s sudden appearance, he was a bit caught off guard and needed to come up with a strategy.
“Summon someone!” Huang Fei shouted in a deep voice.
Cheng Tian, who had just left, returned, “Your Majesty!”
“Summon Shan Junren!”
“Yes!”
Shan Junren was the prime minister of the capital, holding high authority and considered second to none in the city.
In the spiritual capital, besides the Qian family, the Shen family was also influential.
“Your Majesty~” A charming consort wearing light and delicate attire walked over gracefully, her soft tongue licking her lips.
Huang Fei, currently not in the mood for such things, spoke in a low voice, “You go back first.”
“Your Majesty~” The consort continued to act coquettishly, seemingly hoping to receive favour from the divine emperor. It would be such an honour, and if she could bear a son, her status would immediately rise. What a rare opportunity!
Huang Fei’s expression darkened, “This emperor doesn’t want to say it a second time!”
The consort was startled, then immediately respectfully said, “Your humble servant takes her leave. May Your Majesty rest early.”
Huang Fei nodded and waved his hand. The consort left with a hint of reluctance.
Huang Fei slowly closed his eyes, contemplating the sudden and overwhelming news.
However, at that moment, a dark figure slowly coalesced in the air – a man wearing a black cloak, his face indistinguishable.
Huang Fei glanced at him and said lightly, “Han Ya, you’ve come.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Han Ya’s voice was somewhat hoarse, making it uncomfortable to hear. However, upon seeing Huang Fei, Han Ya did not kneel but showed a decent level of respect.
“Wait for the Prime Minister,” Huang Fei said indifferently.
“Yes.”
After about the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, Shan Junren finally arrived.
“I, pay respects to Your Majesty!” Shan Junren was an elderly man with snow-white hair, but for a deity, it was just a guise. If he wished, Shan Junren could transform into a young man, but he simply chose not to.
“Rise.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
After Shan Junren stood up, he greeted the crow by his side.
The crow nodded in response.
Huang Fei spoke solemnly, “Ye Hua is still alive!”
Upon hearing this, Shan Junren visibly paused, while Han Ya remained relatively composed without significant emotional fluctuations.
“Your Majesty, could it be that the disturbance tonight was caused by Ye Hua?” Shan Junren asked in a low voice.
Huang Fei didn’t answer the question directly, “What intrigues this emperor is how Ye Hua, who was presumed dead, suddenly returned! Is this real or fake?”
Shan Junren tightly furrowed his brow, feeling extremely shocked. The fact that the eldest son of the Ye family was still alive… This was impossible.
As he pondered, Shan Junren looked towards the crow by his side.
However, Huang Fei also turned his gaze to the crow, seemingly waiting for confirmation from Han Ya.
In a soft voice, Han Ya spoke, “Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I personally witnessed Ye Hua being slain by the Demon Emperor. I threw his body into the Dao Sea. I can be absolutely certain of this.”
