Chapter 256: So What If the King of Miaojiang is Being Unreasonable?
Chapter 256: So What If the King of Miaojiang is Being Unreasonable?
Lu Yuan couldn't help but glance at the old man in surprise, clearly not expecting the old fellow to have such a treasure in his possession.
The King of Miaojiang winked at his grandson, "How about that? Isn't your grandpa amazing?"
Lu Yuan lowered his voice, "Where did you get it from? Did you steal it?"
The King of Miaojiang bristled, "What are you thinking? Am I that kind of person?"
It was clearly stolen!
The story was a long one. The Miaojiang tribes had been in constant civil war, and although the Bai family had unified Miaojiang, they had exhausted all their military might. Surrendering to the court was an inevitable choice.
But he couldn't possibly admit that he had demanded a high price from the Supreme Emperor Mantian and then snatched the Imperial Sword.
The Supreme Emperor chased him through ten mountain peaks.
He wouldn't return it, no matter what!
Just as Lu Yuan was about to bow to the Imperial Sword, the King of Miaojiang stopped him. With a serious expression, he said, "The Supreme Emperor said you don't have to kneel."
The crowd: "..."
The King of Miaojiang escorted Lu Yuan to and from court, and his habit of sending 'local specialties' to officials who had grudges against Lu Yuan was well-known. The civil and military officials had become accustomed to his unreasonable behavior.
But was it too much even for the Golden Phoenix Throne?
The King of Miaojiang proudly glared at the crowd, "So what if I'm being unreasonable? Come and bite me if you dare!"
The Minister of Revenue opened his mouth, "To reopen a case, there must be a reason..."
The King of Miaojiang slung the Imperial Sword over his shoulder and declared, "Last night, the Supreme Emperor came to me in a dream, saying that the souls of the Chu family cannot rest in peace in the underworld. There must be a hidden truth behind the Chu family blood case. He instructed me to bring the Imperial Sword he gifted me back then and inform His Majesty and all of you to reinvestigate this case!"
Minister Huo said, "Nonsense! Why would the Supreme Emperor come to you in a dream?"
The King of Miaojiang raised his eyebrows, "Go and ask him yourself!"
Minister Huo was left speechless.
Lu Yuan said, "Since the Supreme Emperor has come in a dream, there must be a hidden truth to this case. Surely you wouldn't want to blackmail even the Supreme Emperor?"
The Minister of Revenue gritted his teeth and stood on his right foot, "Lu Yuan, you—"
The King of Miaojiang pressed the Imperial Sword against his neck, "Hmm?"
The Minister of Revenue obediently knelt back down.
Zong Zhengxi turned to Xun, the Prime Minister, and asked, "Xun Aiqing, does His Royal Highness want to reinvestigate this case? Do you have any objections?"
Xun, the Prime Minister, bowed and said, "This subject has no objections."
The King of Miaojiang said with satisfaction, "That's more like it!"
Zong Zhengxi, feeling relieved, turned to Minister Xing and said, "Minister Xing, from today onwards, the Chu family's case is transferred to the Ministry of Justice. I hope Minister Xing can solve the case as soon as possible, bring the real culprit to justice, clear the names of the wronged, and let the deceased rest in peace."
Minister Xing held up his tablet and said, "This subject receives the edict!"
After the court session, the officials gradually left the Golden Phoenix Throne.
With the King of Miaojiang's assistance, Lu Yuan had an easy victory today.
Although he had his own methods, he had to admit that it would have required some effort.
The King of Miaojiang asked casually, "How about it? Do you want me to accompany you to court from now on?"
Lu Yuan asked, "Aren't you returning to Miaojiang?"
The King of Miaojiang slung the sword over his shoulder, "I'll go back later!"
The main thing was to resolve his troubles first; otherwise, how could he face Xian'er?
He wanted to get rid of these scumbags and return to boast to Xian'er.
"Hey, we were just talking about you, and here you are!"
The King of Miaojiang turned around and smiled, greeting the passing Xun, the Prime Minister.
Beside Xun, the Prime Minister, was a scholar that the King of Miaojiang didn't recognize.
The scholar disdainfully said, "It's just cheating with the help of the Imperial Sword. What's there to be proud of?"
The King of Miaojiang smiled in response, "Speaking of cheating, Xun, the Prime Minister, is probably the founder of this practice! Xun, the Prime Minister, is my grandson's essay useful?"
The scholar was completely confused.
Lu Yuan was a clueless fool, and he had a plan?
Xun Prime Minister calmly said, "Let's go."
"Yes."
The scholar quickly followed.
The King of Miaojiang extended his hand, "Hey, don't go yet, I'm not done speaking! How is your son's injury?"
Xun Prime Minister paused on the steps, his gaze steady as he looked ahead, "Thanks to the King of Miaojiang's blessings."
The King of Miaojiang watched his back, laughing, "It's a small matter, not worth mentioning. If your son likes it, I'll send him more!"
Xun Prime Minister didn't respond and left without looking back.
The scholar escorted Xun Prime Minister to the carriage and bowed, "I bid farewell to the Prime Minister."
The driver of the Prime Minister's Mansion lowered the carriage curtain.
As the carriage left the palace, Xun Prime Minister's hand gently rested on the table, crushing the corner of the table.

Meng Qianqian was going out today for two reasons. First, Yun Xiayao had finished making the clothes for Liu Qingyun, and she was going to Smoke and Rain Pavilion to collect them. Second, she had made pills and ointments for Liu Changsheng.
Liu Changsheng had been disabled since childhood due to an illness, and she had been trying various methods to treat him.
Liu Qingyun also wanted to visit Meng Qianqian's tea house, so she took Bao Zhu Zhu with her and boarded the carriage.
Bao Zhu Zhu had not been out for several days and was extremely excited, chattering all the way.
Under Liu Changsheng's management, the tea house's reputation had spread throughout the capital. Whenever people mentioned tea, the first place that came to mind was Gathering Immortal Pavilion.
Not only was the tea selling well, but the cosmetics were also in high demand.
Liu Qingyun looked at the bustling shop and asked indifferently, "Is this the tea house you opened?"
Meng Qianqian nodded, "What do you think, Mother?"
"So-so."
Liu Qingyun got off the carriage, holding Bao Zhu Zhu.
Bao Zhu Zhu spotted Liu Changsheng and wiggled her little butt, stubbornly squeezing through the crowd.
With her tiny arms and short legs, she wasn't even as tall as the counter, but she wasn't afraid of being stepped on.
"Bao Zhu Zhu!"
Taner pouted and caught up with her.
Bao Zhu Zhu searched for Liu Changsheng everywhere.
Every time she passed a room, she poked her head in to take a look.
She was adorable with her jade-like skin and mischievous nature, and she could make the ladies and young mistresses laugh.
"Oh, isn't this the little mistress of Gathering Immortal Pavilion? You came alone? Where's your mother?"
A regular customer recognized her and waved at her with a smile.
Bao Zhu Zhu shyly covered her face and turned to run, looking incredibly cute.
Suddenly, she bumped into the leg of a young woman.
Her little forehead hurt, and she fell to the ground with a thud.
The woman knelt down and gently touched her forehead with a smile, "Little sister, does it hurt?"
Bao Zhu Zhu shook her head.
Her gaze was drawn to the bracelet on the woman's wrist, which was a handmade rope made of red thread with several colorful shells, looking extremely beautiful.
The woman followed her gaze and looked at her bracelet, then took it off and handed it to Bao Zhu Zhu, "Little sister, do you like it? I'll give it to you."
Bao Zhu Zhu shook her small hand seriously, "I can't accept it."
The woman smiled gently, "It's okay, you can have my things."
After speaking, she put the bracelet into Bao Zhu Zhu's hand and gracefully walked away.
She was like a gentle breeze, leaving no trace behind.
"Where did she go?"
Taner frowned suspiciously, supported herself with one hand, and quickly climbed up the stairs, kneeling on one knee in the hallway.
In the air, there was only a lingering faint fragrance and Bao Zhu Zhu, who was holding the bracelet with a blank expression.
Seeing that Bao Zhu Zhu was unharmed, Taner breathed a sigh of relief and said suspiciously, "Just now, there was a dangerous aura!"
