The Tyrannical Emperor Reborn Chapter 67 Part 2

Lin Xiao's implication was clear: with Chang Sheng dead, the West Frontier Army's morale was shaken, leaving them vulnerable to the Western Di. To maintain stability, the Emperor would not move against the North Frontier for the time being.

The others thought it over and found the reasoning sound. Someone muttered under their breath, "Marquis Zhenbei is truly fortunate. He got off easy this time."

Lin Xiao gave him a cold, expressionless glance, then turned and strode off.

Huang Bingzhong had offended the prefect’s son. After weighing it over, Huang Zheng decided to gather some gifts and drag Huang Bingzhong with him to make amends — to admit he’d offended the young master.

Though Huang Bingzhong was at fault, it at least gave them a reason to go to the prefect’s residence.

Fang Zichen called Da Li back from the yamen and had him receive the guests.

The servants took the gifts, and Da Li led the Huang father and son to the main hall, served them tea, and said the master was busy—they'd have to wait.

Chapter 67 

As Ruan Jiqing had expected, the news of Chang Sheng's death in the North Frontier made Lin Xiao frown deeply.

The disappearance of the West Frontier General and his death were two entirely different matters. If he was missing, as long as no body was found, there was still a sliver of hope that he might be alive.

But dead meant truly dead.

And the secrets a dead man carried would likely never be uncovered by anyone.

Fang Zichen choked for a second. Caught under Zhao Ger's teasing gaze, he didn't flinch or skip a beat: "I was just blowing smoke to lighten the mood! Can't you take a joke?"

Zhao Ger laughed, then turned to serious matters. "What's your plan for the Huang family?"

"Support the Wang family," Fang Zichen said.

The Wang and Huang families didn't get along—both were in the grain trade, and as the saying goes, rivals are destined to clash.

Qi Junmu smiled—yet at the words "the Empress," his eyes held no warmth at all. He said: "I only spoke a bit too freely because I did not want you to feel uneasy. But here, it is just the two of us. Let us speak of no one else."

Strangely enough, if Shen Nian were a woman, Qi Junmu could simply make her a consort and favor her as a matter of course.

Then neither the court nor the rear palace would have any grounds to object—not even the Empress could do anything but accept it with grace.

Zhao Ger motioned for Xiao Feng to follow inside, dug through a box under the bed, and handed him some watercolors.

The moment Xiao Feng saw the watercolors, all his sulking about being left behind vanished. He beamed. "Thank you, Uncle Zhao."

"Your Uncle Fang made extra last time. You should thank him."

Xiao Feng pouted. "Last night, he said he was going to—marry me off, to Wang Mazi, for two jin of rice. Uncle Fang is mean."

Qi Junmu's magnanimity and candor brought a faint flush of embarrassment to Shen Nian, who had clearly caught the implication beneath his words. A man who showed not a flicker of emotion on the battlefield now found his heart pounding like thunder at a single sentence.

 

It was the first time Shen Nian had ever experienced such a feeling—rather novel, in its own way.

Shen Nian gazed at Qi Junmu, ripples stirring in his eyes.
