The Seventh Prince shut his mouth and sat on his seat weakly. He seemed to be thinking, but after thinking for a long time, there was only bitterness on his face.
“What do you want to do?”
“If we let the experts in the capital make a move, Imperial Father will definitely find out.”
“Even the Prime Minister wouldn’t dare.”
“I dare!” Wen Chengshu shook his head.”
“My teacher once said that as long as it was for Great Chu and for His Majesty, he would not waver even if he were to die immediately.”
“But Teacher said that Xu Bai alone wouldn’t make him pay such a huge price.” “If it succeeds, then Xu Bai’s death is nothing. If it fails, then Xu Bai deserves the reward.’
Was he worthy of that reward?
The Seventh Prince silently mulled over Wen Chengshu’s words. Finally, he gritted his teeth and asked,””What do you want to do?”
“Take this and shine it in front of Xu Bai.”Wen Chengshu took out a mirror from his pocket and handed it to the Seventh Prince.””Alright.”
The Seventh Prince took it and sized it up.
This mirror was just an ordinary mirror. It looked normal, and even the patterns on it were particularly rough.
“This is just an ordinary mirror.”Wen Chengshu smiled.” But in this mirror, there is an article that Teacher personally copied. Your Highness, you should have heard of the Eternal Noble Spirit, right?””
The Seventh Prince was still looking at the mirror in his hand. When he heard this, he suddenly stood up.
“Back then, the Prime Minister wrote the Eternal Noble Spirit and killed thousands of miles of strange creatures. Legend has it that those who have ghosts in their hearts will feel fear when they see this text. The stronger the evil in their hearts, the stronger the backlash.”
“Do you mean to use this to test Xu Bai?”
Wen Cheng Shu nodded his head in agreement.
The Seventh Prince had a complicated look in his eyes.
“It is said that the Prime Minister is the most pedantic person in the world.”
“I didn’t expect him to be so open-minded in this aspect. As long as he passes the test, will he be able to pass the Prime Minister’s test?”
Wen Chengshu shook his head and said,” No, Teacher still doesn’t like Xu Bai. However, no matter how much he dislikes Xu Bai, he can tolerate everything in front of the Great Chu royal family and the world.”
“Like I said just now, Teacher has never done anything selfish in his life.
Otherwise, why would he always sit in such an important official position?”
“Teacher said that if he passes, it will be the blessing of Great Chu. At most, he won’t come into contact with Xu Bai to avoid dirtying his eyes.”
“There’s one last question. Why do you want me to do it?””
Wen Chengshu looked at the person in front of him who held a high position and slowly said what his teacher had said.
“You are different from the other members of the royal family. You have the blessing of the Sword Empress.”
“The only martial artist that teacher admires in this lifetime is the Sword Empress.”
“You are wrong in this matter, and you are wrong. Whether Xu Bai passes or not, you are wrong. However, with the blessing of the Sword Empress, you will not be punished by His Majesty.”
The Seventh Prince handed the mirror over, meaning that he did not want to do this.
However, Wen Chengshu did not take it.” This is a deal. Your Highness can take revenge, but you have to pay the price. If Your Highness doesn’t do it, then forget it. I’ll give Your Highness some time to consider.””
The Seventh Prince was stunned. He stood there and thought for a long time before silently putting the mirror back.
Wen Chengshu cupped his fists and turned to leave.
However, before he left, he paused for a moment and turned around to say something.
“Your Highness. mv teacher has a message for vou.”
“What words?” The Seventh Prince asked doubtfully.
Wen Cheng Shu organized his words and then said the rest.
“Teacher was just a poor scholar back then, and he also received the Sword Empress’s grace. Teacher said that the blessing that the Sword Empress bestowed upon Your Highness would not allow you to live a carefree life, so Your Highness had better restrain yourself in the future.”
With that, Wen Chengshu left.
The Seventh Prince sat on the ground, thinking about what Wen Chengshu had just said.
A moment later, he came back to his senses and held the mirror in his hand.
“Just this once. This time, it’s over. I’ll let you go. Will mother’s blessings be exhausted by me…”
The Seventh Prince’s bitter voice rang out in the empty hall.
On the other side, in the royal study.
Eunuch Wei knocked on the door.
Only after a sound came from inside did he push the door open and enter. He closed the door behind him and came before the Chu Emperor, handing over a memorial.
“Your Majesty, all the personnel have been gathered. As long as Your Majesty gives the order, the entire capital will be filled with bloodshed.”
The Chu Emperor was currently reading an ancient book with his head lowered. After hearing Eunuch Wei’s words, he picked up the booklet and flipped through it gently for a while before throwing it onto the table.
“Start from the periphery and gradually spread inwards.”
“Yes, sir!” Eunuch Wei replied respectfully with a troubled expression.
The Chu Emperor was an astute person and could tell with a single glance. He couldn’t help but laugh,””ls there anything between you and me that can’t be said?”
” The Prime Minister sealed the Eternal Noble Spirit into the mirror and asked the Seventh Prince to bring it over,” Eunuch Wei said.” He wants to test Xu Bai’s temperament.’”‘
Hearing this, the Chu Emperor nodded his head. He didn’t show any expression, merely expressing that he understood.
Eunuch Wei was stunned. To be able to get to his position, he was also a shrewd person. He quickly thought of the truth.
“This is…What does Your Majesty mean?”
“Yes.” The Chu Emperor didn’t avoid the Chaosang and directly nodded..
