Chapter 1036 - Caught?

Chapter 1036: Caught?

“I have just dispatched the Min Family to fetch the Elder Prince and he can’t wait to return to the capital. What is he afraid of? Has he done what he is supposed to at Li County? Any progress at all?” The King shouted furiously, and tossed the petitions to the ground.

De Fu could tell that the King was really mad at this moment.

During the past few days, De Fu could tell that the King had been in an unpredictable mood. He had always liked the Crown Prince and he always saw him as the heir. Everything went well, but now he was getting very dissatisfied with the Crown Prince.

However, De Fu was just a servant who should not talk too much. So he said, “It might be another issue, let’s wait and see what the Crown Prince has to say. Also, the Min Family has already left the capital and in a couple of days, the Eldest Prince will be home. I don’t think that the Crown Prince’s return will affect this matter,” De Fu said briefly.

It was impossible for him to say something bad about the Crown Prince.

He was just a servant and it was not something he ought to do. So he could only switch the focus to the Eldest Prince instead.

Only then did the King feel slightly better.

They were just talking when the Empress Dowager arrived.

The King frowned – he was not in the mood to meet the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager was already inside.

The moment she walked in she said, ” King, why did you ask the Min Family to bring the Elder Prince home? Are you going to grant him the title of lord?”

“…”

“Everything is going so smoothly right now, what are you making trouble for? The Crown Prince is good enough for you. He should do things well.”

The Empress Dowager was really furious. She had just learned that the Eldest Prince was being brought home!

......

She was wondering what the King was up to!

“You should not be so messy in dealing with things!” the Empress Dowager said angrily.

The King had a terrible look on his face as he turned to the Empress Dowager. “Mother, this is the Saint Divine Land, and I am the King, not you, right?”

The Empress Dowager was very furious, but when she heard his words, she suddenly became clear-minded.

She just could not stand how ridiculous the whole thing was, so she came to interrogate her son without noticing that she had been over the top.

The King had gotten increasingly suspicious these years.

The Empress Dowager calmed herself down and said, “I am just feeling responsible. You are on the throne, and I am just a woman.”

“Then you take care of what you are responsible for and do not come to care about what happens in the court,” the King said with a cold face.

The Empress Dowager left timidly.

The King swept away everything on the table. He, who had been in a bad mood, felt even worse after hearing what the Empress Dowager said.

De Fu arranged servants to sort things out.

***

One night passed by.

The following day when he went to the morning session the King had a terrible look on his face.

“King, good news from Li County.”

Only then did the King feel his mood lift. Good news from Li County?

“Prime Minister Chu says that they have caught the thing which hurt the people.”

“Oh? Already?” The King looked very motivated.
