Chapter 1138: Chapter 555: If the Rabbit Has It, This King Wants It Too! (Part 2)

However, he was not a stubborn person. Even though Xiaoqi was only ten years old, he already had the appearance of an adult and was mature enough.

"Forget it!"

"Let it be as it should be."

Chen Xuan was quite open-minded, as long as Xiaoqi was happy, that was fine.

Age was secondary.

"By the way, are you going with Father to the Ritual Department or to the Three Judicial Departments?"

Chen Xuan had just asked when Zhan Tian spoke directly, "Come back with me to the Three Judicial Departments, to the tenth floor. The Burial Grounds are about to open, and you need to hone yourself well inside."

In an instant, Xiaoqi had a bitter face but dared not refute.

"Tomorrow night, you can go out and have fun with the Bamboo Garden group."

"Thank you, Master!"

He had just been worried that he wouldn’t be allowed to go, but now he was relieved.

...

Chen Xuan watched the departing carriage, "Grown up, ready to fly on your own."

He felt happy inside but also a bit of loss.

In any case, it felt somewhat strange.

Shaking his head, he then walked towards the Ritual Department.

"Xiaoqi has exited seclusion, and Double Five, he can also cultivate the Sacred Body."

In the room, Chen Xuan sent messages to several women.

"That’s great."

In the Primordial Realm, Lan Meng’Er cried with joy. Xiaoqi, her son, was so outstanding, how could she not be happy?

Hearing the sobbing from the Communication Spirit Talisman, Chen Xuan really wanted to tell her, "Your son seems to have someone already."

But in the end, he didn’t say it.

"So when are we going to the Imperial City?"

The question was asked by Ning Xin.

And the other women were all looking at the Communication Spirit Talisman, waiting for Chen Xuan’s answer.

"Let’s just forget it."

"Xiaoqi was taken away by Elder Zhan. There’s still some time left before the Burial Grounds open, and Elder Zhan wants to hone him well."

Upon hearing this, the women all showed disappointment, but they also knew it was all for Xiaoqi.

"Okay, we’ll go when it’s about to open."

"Hmm!"

Afterwards, there was some idle chatter, and half an hour later, Chen Xuan placed the Communication Spirit Talisman into his embrace.

On the following day, Xiaoqi returned to the Three Judicial Departments very late.

However, that night he was caught by Zhan Tian and brought to the tenth floor of the Library Pavilion, beginning a new round of inhumane training.

This was what Zhan Tian personally said.

Because Xiaoqi only hadn’t entered the last few rooms on the tenth floor, and those were the most perverse.

Back in the day, Zhan Tian was also severely reprimanded there.

Several days later.

Chen Xuan had just gotten up and arrived in the courtyard, enjoying the morning air.

When he saw Kang Bai rushing in.

"What’s the matter?"

"Someone from the Imperial Palace has come to deliver an edict."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan frowned but instantly guessed, "It should be that Qin Ying is about to exit seclusion. Is it to ask the Chief Eunuch to go?"

"I don’t know. The Imperial Eunuch delivering the edict is still waiting."

"I came here to ask you, should I inform the Chief Eunuch?"

"Moreover, the Imperial Eunuch delivering the edict specifically named the Chief Eunuch to receive the edict."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan’s face turned cold.

Was this Emperor Yu’s test?

If it was a pre-dug pit to refuse the edict, that wouldn’t be a small crime.

But Chen Xuan did not care about this.

"No need!"

He directly refused, "Just say he’s seriously injured, bedridden for recovery, and cannot come out to receive the edict!"

"Really like that?"

Kang Bai confirmed by asking.

"Then you go and call the Chief Eunuch."

"Then I won’t do it."

Kang Bai shook his head like a rattle-drum; he wasn’t going.

"Then that’s it. Anyway, you said it, if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up."

"Hehe!"

Chen Xuan chuckled lightly.

...

In the main hall of the Ritual Department.

The Imperial Eunuch delivering the edict sat, took a sip of tea, and then gently put it down.

"Why hasn’t the Chief Eunuch arrived yet?"

An acute voice sounded, but no one answered him. The maid on the side kept her head down; she didn’t dare speak at such a time.

"Hmph!"

He snorted coldly, looked at the maid with a somewhat chilling gaze, "Go take a look."

"Yes!"

The maid nodded slightly and was about to go when Kang Bai came in at this moment.

But when the eunuch saw only him, his face immediately turned ugly, "Where’s Chief Eunuch Liu?"

"Still hasn’t woken up!"

Kang Bai replied blandly.

"Hasn’t woken up?"

The eunuch thought he had misheard.

"Lord Kang, are you joking with my family?"

"No!"

Kang Bai said very seriously, "The Chief Eunuch is seriously injured, sleeping within an array, and only wakes up at intervals."

"Can’t he be awakened? My family still has to return to the Imperial Palace and report to Your Majesty!"

"No!"

Kang Bai shook his head, "The array can only be opened by the Chief Eunuch himself. Forcibly breaking it would affect the Chief Eunuch. Your Majesty is benevolent and wouldn’t blame the Chief Eunuch for such a small matter, right?"

"You...?"

The Chief Eunuch was so angry that Kang Bai was using Emperor Yu to suppress him.

"Deliver the edict, after the Chief Eunuch wakes up, I’ll convey it on his behalf."

The smile on Kang Bai’s face disappeared, just an imperial eunuch delivering an edict, daring to be presumptuous at the Ritual Department.

This was because the news of the Chief Eunuch’s ’serious injury’ had been out for so long, and each of them started to have ulterior thoughts.

If it was before... huh!

"Fine, fine!"

The eunuch sneered, then opened the imperial decree.

Kang Bai and the maid beside him both knelt down.

"By the mandate of Heaven..."

...

The Imperial Eunuch delivering the edict left the Ritual Department in a huff, while inside the hall, Kang Bai held the imperial decree.

"Qin Ying will exit seclusion in three days." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"All officials to welcome!"

"Such grand ceremony!"

Kang Bai muttered to himself. This kind of treatment, even the princes of Great Yu hadn’t had.

If Qin Ying were a prince, he would undoubtedly be the sole candidate for the throne.

At the same time, not only the Ritual Department—both the Three Dukes and high-ranking officials and families of Great Yu received this decree.

However, when the Imperial Eunuch delivering the edict arrived at the Three Judicial Departments, he encountered the same situation as at the Ritual Department.

Zhan Tian was on the tenth floor and hadn’t even shown up.

It was Wu Yue who received it.
