Chapter 489 - 136: The Way of Balance! All Pretense Torn Away (Part 3)
Thinking of this.
Wei Hongfang relaxed a bit and immediately ordered a sedan chair to be prepared, ready to head to the palace.
Meanwhile, Yun Hu and Guan Bao also received the message from the palace, albeit later than Wei Hongfang.
They knew it was the Supreme Emperor Yan Fuhai summoning them.
Both Yun Hu and Guan Bao realized.
This was their opportunity, they were finally remembered by Yan Fuhai.
"Second Brother!"
Guan Bao looked excitedly at his second brother.
"I told you, our good days as brothers are coming soon!"
Yun Hu also tried hard to restrain his excitement, for the closer they were to this moment, the more they couldn’t show any sign of an issue.
After adjusting his breath several times.
Yun Hu was ready to take Guan Bao to the palace together.
,,,
Soon, Wei Hongfang’s carriage arrived at the palace first.
Upon seeing Yan Fuhai sitting in the courtyard.
Wei Hongfang went forward immediately without hesitation.
"Your servant kneels before Your Majesty, please calm your anger."
Originally intending to praise Wei Hongfang with a few words.
However, these first words made Yan Fuhai noticeably pause.
"Calm my anger? How do you intend for me to calm my anger?"
Looking at Wei Hongfang with interest, he couldn’t quite understand what suddenly prompted this reaction from the latter.
Just that, kneeling on the ground.
His eyes fixed on the ground, Wei Hongfang didn’t notice the change in Yan Fuhai’s expression.
He continued with a tone of anxiety.
"A Grandmaster came to challenge at the palace gates, your servant received the news too late, the two guarding the palace are your servant’s adopted sons, and they lost the duel, which not only disgraced themselves but also Your Majesty!"
,,,
It’s clear now.
Wei Hongfang seems unaware that his two adopted sons combined forces to defeat the Grandmaster!
"Get up first!"
Signaling with a wave, he directly indicated Wei Hongfang to rise.
But.
"Your servant dares not!"
Having been beside Yan Fuhai the longest, Wei Hongfang was very aware of Yan Fuhai’s mood.
Needless to say, serving an emperor was akin to serving a tiger, and this was evident with Yan Fuhai.
Friendly one moment, possibly sentencing you to death the next.
The key thing is, you can’t show any dissatisfaction and must thank them for sentencing you.
"To be honest, your servant once said that guarding the palace is not a simple task, but your servant’s two adopted sons are too young and impulsive, they’ve pleaded for this for a long time before your servant relented, feeling sorry for them."
"That’s why I entrusted this matter to them!"
This was a premeditated excuse by Wei Hongfang.
So speaking of it, he felt no mental pressure, and instead, it appeared quite fluid.
"Hmm?"
This statement caused Yan Fuhai to pause.
He glanced at the kneeling Wei Hongfang before raising his eyebrows toward the direction of the bedchamber’s entrance.
Being a Land Immortal, Yan Fuhai couldn’t casually intervene at the moment.
But he still had a bit of perception.
Yun Hu and Guan Bao had already arrived, but without his summons, given their status, it was impossible for them to enter Yan Fuhai’s bedchamber like Wei Hongfang!
"That old dog!"
Sure enough, outside the bedchamber, upon hearing Yan Fuhai shift the blame onto them, Guan Bao immediately felt anger.
But Yun Hu raised his hand to restrain Guan Bao.
"Calm down!"
This was in the palace, and especially outside Yan Fuhai’s bedchamber, some things couldn’t be said carelessly.
Yet even so.
Yun Hu’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
Originally thought, even if they lost, Wei Hongfang would speak up for them, and they wouldn’t face any punishment.
But now it was good, just that they won.
If they had actually lost, and Wei Hongfang shifted the blame onto them, could they still survive?
Originally thought.
Maintaining basic decency among each other was still quite good.
But now it appears, if others don’t want decency, then none shall have it!
,,,
"So, according to your words, it was your two adopted sons acting independently, losing face, and it has nothing to do with you?"
Not only did Yan Fuhai have no intent to remind Wei Hongfang, he continued the conversation in this direction.
Somehow finding it quite interesting.
Yan Fuhai didn’t really care about the relationships between his subordinates.
As long as they were obedient and followed orders, that was sufficient!
Moreover.
Being an emperor, Yan Fuhai was inherently skilled in the art of balance.
Recently, Yan Fuhai indeed felt that Wei Hongfang had become much more lax than before.
After all, under his rule, Wei Hongfang was the only useful one.
Perhaps feeling there’s no one to compete for favor, leading to complacency.
Just in time.
The arrival of Yun Hu and Guan Bao could serve to balance Wei Hongfang.
To prevent Wei Hongfang from thinking he was the only one under Yan’s command.
However, this didn’t mean Yan Fuhai was planning to abandon Wei Hongfang, but rather simply to make him work more earnestly in the future.
But.
Wei Hongfang didn’t possess Mind Reading Magic, naturally unaware of Yan Fuhai’s thoughts.
Upon hearing this, he didn’t hesitate for even a moment and immediately nodded in response.
