Your father-in-law no longer had the cheerful and kind expression in the past, but instead had an unusually serious expression.
Your father-in-law's figure is slightly rich, his face is beardless, and his complexion is pale. At this moment, he has a straight face, which makes him even more eerie.
In the main hall.
Lin Bai stepped in, and seeing your father-in-law's complexion, he immediately felt something was wrong. He looked back at Patriarch Pan Qing and the other elders of the Tianshui Sect, and saw that they were too frightened by your father-in-law's expression to dare to speak.
As the servant in front of Emperor Chu, his words, deeds and expressions naturally represent Emperor Chu.
It can be seen from the expression on your eunuch's face...the Emperor Chu's decree probably came from bad people.
"Your Eunuch." After Lin Bai walked into the main hall, he hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed to your Eunuch.
Your father-in-law nodded slightly, and immediately said: "Master Wolf received the order, and His Majesty has an order... If Lord Wolf wears a mask to defeat the warriors from the Northern Territory and make us famous as warriors from the Eastern Territory, but if Lord Marquis Wolf unfortunately loses, His Majesty will still punish the crime!"
"This is His Majesty's decree."
"Does Lord Wolf understand?"
Your father-in-law asked coldly.
Ok? What does this mean? ...The sudden decree from Emperor Chu made Lin Bai a little puzzled.
I didn't understand what kind of sarcasm was in this decree at all.
"I understand." Although he still didn't understand, Lin Bai still wanted to follow up the edict.
After the decree was read out, a smile appeared on the corner of your eunuch's mouth, "Lord Wolf, His Majesty has lost his temper this time. Lord Wolf should keep a low profile recently, but please don't touch His Majesty again."
"Thank you, Eunuch, for reminding me." After reading the decree, your eunuch seemed to be a different person.
This made Lin Bai understand that the appearance just now was because your father-in-law deliberately acted like Emperor Chu was angry, just for Lin Bai and Tianshuizong to see.
Lin Bai asked again, "Dare to ask my father-in-law... What is your majesty angry about?"
Your eunuch smiled and said: "This old slave doesn't know, but... Lord Wolf, you can think carefully about where you have been these past few days? Who have you met? What have you talked about that you haven't seen?"
Where did you go? Who did you meet? What kind of unsightly things did you talk about? ... Lin Bai's heart immediately sank.
He has thought of it.
It must be because of Princess Qingyue.
Lin Bai smiled wryly... It seems that Emperor Chu already knew that Princess Qingyue asked him to investigate Huang Xuan's matter.
"It seems that Lord Wolf has already made a guess in his heart, so the old slave will leave." Your eunuch got up and left.
Patriarch Pan Qing sent your father-in-law outside the door, at the same time took out some good gifts and inquired about some news.
Not long.
Patriarch Pan Qing came back with a gloomy face, and said to Lin Bai, "Did you see your father-in-law's face just now? That's the face of Emperor Chu."
"Holy Son, what have you done these past few days to make His Majesty so angry?"
Lin Bai smiled wryly and shook his head again and again, "Isn't it because I met Princess Qingyue."
Princess Qingyue... Patriarch Pan Qing seemed to understand something.
Before Lin Bai went to see Princess Qingyue, Lin Bai also asked his ancestor Pan Qing about Princess Qingyue.
Pan Qing also belonged to the era of ten thousand years ago, and he was also one of the few arrogances in the territory of Chu State back then, and he was an old acquaintance with Emperor Chu and Princess Qingyue.
He also heard about things that happened thousands of years ago.
"Princess Qingyue asked me to investigate a warrior named Huang Xuan." Lin Bai told the ancestor Pan Qing about this.
"You agreed?" Patriarch Pan Qing's complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked.
Lin Bai shrugged helplessly, "Do I dare to refuse?"
Lin Bai did not mention the deal between him and Princess Qingyue, but directly stated that he could not refuse.
"That's right, Princess Qingyue has a very strong temper. If you dare to refuse, she may not be able to spare you." Patriarch Pan Qing also knew the temper of the eldest princess very well, so she gave a wry smile.
"I really didn't expect that she would still pay so much attention to this person?"
"Hey."
Patriarch Pan Qing sighed secretly, looking a little lonely.
Lin Bai asked with a smile: "Old Ancestor, don't you also have a secret affection for the eldest princess?"
"This, this, this..." Patriarch Pan Qing immediately panicked, "Don't talk nonsense, or I will sue you for defamation."
"I'll just ask casually, the ancestor doesn't have to be so nervous." Lin Bai smiled.
Patriarch Pan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "The eldest princess was the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital back then, and I don't know how many young talents fell under his pomegranate skirt."
Lin Bai smiled and said: "Well, I have met the eldest princess. Although thousands of years have passed, time has never defeated a beauty."
"The ancestor will bow down under her pomegranate skirt, and there is no shame in it."
"That's..." Patriarch Pan Qing smiled, but she suddenly put on a straight face, "Holy Son, don't talk nonsense, Princess Qingyue and I are best friends, and we have absolutely no other ideas."
Lin Bai didn't want to play tricks with Patriarch Pan Qing anymore, so he asked, "What does Patriarch know about Huang Xuan?"
Patriarch Pan Qing's face immediately collapsed, "Holy Son, I advise you not to pursue this matter any longer."
"Didn't you feel it? Your Majesty became angry just after you came out of Princess Qingyue's mansion."
"If you continue to investigate, His Majesty will not let you go easily."
Lin Bai frowned, and the thoughts in his mind turned, "So...the death of Huang Xuan really has something to do with His Majesty?"
Patriarch Pan Qing's eyes narrowed, "I didn't say that, but...it's rumored in the imperial capital."
He continued: "It is said that Huang Xuan and Princess Qingyue got too close back then, and Emperor Chu had just ascended the throne, and he wanted Princess Qingyue to marry the holy son of the Celestial Immortal Sect at that time."
"So I'm trying to find a way to get rid of Huang Xuan, put on Huang Xuan's hat of 'Nine Nether Demon Palace Remnants', and execute Huang Xuan to death."
"After Huang Xuan's death, Emperor Chu didn't even spare his family and friends, and executed them all."
Patriarch Pan Qing shook his head again and again, "It was also because Emperor Chu did so unfeelingly that Princess Qingyue and Emperor Chu broke up on the spot."
"Princess Qingyue has closed the gate of the mansion, and she is no longer interfering with the affairs of the world."
"It's been ten thousand years, I didn't expect that the eldest princess' anger has not dissipated."
Patriarch Pan Qing said again: "Ten thousand years ago, Emperor Chu had just ascended the throne, he was in his prime, and it was time to flex his muscles, so his policies were all vigorous and decisive."
"So in dealing with certain matters, it was indeed a bit extreme, which made Princess Qingyue very dissatisfied."
After finishing speaking, he advised Lin Bai again, "It's best not to continue investigating this matter, so as not to offend Emperor Chu."
Lin Bai knew what the ancestor Pan Qing was worried about.
Tianshuizong has been suppressed by the royal family of Chu for 100,000 years, and it is hard to take a breath now.
If Emperor Chu was offended and suppressed again because of this incident, then Tianshuizong would probably find it difficult to stand up again.
