The Tyrannical Emperor Reborn Chapter 45 Part 2

"Does every one of you share this view?" Qi Junmu’s gaze swept across the assembly. When it passed over Shen Nian, he paused for just a breath—but quickly moved on, letting no one notice.

After the Emperor asked this, the court fell utterly silent. Not a single person spoke up for Shen Nian.

A few military officers showed flickers of hesitation on their faces, yet with so much evidence stacking up against Shen Nian, no one dared speak up for him. It was common knowledge that when it came to parsing words and picking apart phrases, they rough-handed military men could never keep up with the civil officials. One ill-chosen word, and even a good case could turn sour.

Fang Zichen had theory but no experience; Zhang Fan had experience but no theory. One talked while the other worked. Though they used different materials, they ultimately reached the same goal by different paths.

Zhang Fan threw himself into the paper mill with single-minded devotion, forgetting to eat or sleep, his heart fired with the passion of research. Fang Zichen, on the other hand, disappeared the moment mealtime arrived. After thirteen days, they produced toilet paper.

A vague unease began to creep into Shen Nian's heart.

That unease soon became reality. Not long after the commendation for the West Frontier was issued, word came from the North Frontier that Chang Sheng had vanished without a trace from the northern territories.

When word reached the capital, the entire court and all under heaven were thrown into uproar.

Shen Nian raised his heavy gaze to the Emperor, who sat unmoved upon the dragon throne.

Her daughter had only been allowed to stay because Madam Wei had begged the madam on her knees until her forehead was raw and bleeding. The child was pretty, and if no one bought them out soon, the madam might decide to train the daughter for the trade too.

But a woman from the pleasure house — her whole life was bound to that house. Some found a new life upon leaving; others fell into a different kind of abyss. They were treated like rats in the street, despised by everyone — men looked down on them, and women and gers loathed them even more.

The wealthy men who wanted to buy her out only intended to keep her for a few years of amusement. Once their interest faded, she and her daughter would likely be left with nothing. That's why she'd refused all previous offers.

While the Emperor was setting these things in motion, many people both inside and outside the palace were unable to sleep.

Within the palace, the first was naturally the Empress Dowager. The last time, the Emperor had explicitly rejected her proposal on Shen Nian's behalf, which had greatly displeased her. Later, Lin Xiao had managed to soothe her and suppress her anger.

But because of that, whenever the Empress Dowager heard anything about Shen Nian being highly valued by the Emperor, her mood turned foul.

Today was especially so.

That evening, the three brothers sat together, faces practically buried in their bowls, both hands grabbing at the food, grease smeared all the way to the backs of their heads.

Three gluttons sat in a row — quite a fearsome sight. In no time at all, they'd devoured pork leg chunks the size of fists.

Gungun stared longingly at Zhao Ger beside him: "Daddy, want more."

Guaizai never had to ask. The moment his bowl was empty, Xiao Feng used his chopsticks to fill it again.  

This kid could eat a lot. He didn't just eat chicken well, he could finish a whole plate of pork leg by himself too.

Though called a pavilion, the structure was more like a small courtyard, with two side chambers and a large yard, and the tower itself rising beside them.

Emperor Jing had envisioned standing atop the pavilion to watch performances of mythical beasts in the courtyard below.

But after its completion, the pavilion was abandoned.

It was very tall, and climbing up step by step took a considerable amount of time.

Qi Junmu led the way, with Shen Nian following behind, one step apart—close enough to reach out and touch. Neither spoke along the way.
