Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader-Chapter 1218 - 951: Blind Dog Eyes, Look Clearly at Who This King Is

Chapter 1218: Chapter 951: Blind Dog Eyes, Look Clearly at Who This King Is

"... Emperor, Noble Consort Wang is currently bathing, unable to come out in time to greet you. Please forgive her!"

"No problem! I also came here on a whim and did not notify anyone in advance. Ignorance is no fault. However, right now it’s broad daylight, why is Noble Consort Wang bathing at this time?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, the Noble Consort has been unwell since the previous Emperor’s time. After the previous Emperor passed away, her condition worsened. Doctor Chen prescribed a remedy in the past, requiring her to soak in a medicinal bath twice daily to alleviate and control her condition."

"I see, I will wait for the Noble Consort in the palace."

Jiang Dali’s Spiritual Sense continued to extend, and he heard a woman’s voice from the inner chamber of the palace.

"... Honored Concubine, the wind is strong outside today. Shall I put a cloak on you before you go to see the Emperor?"

"Hmm!"

A voice as melodious as an immortal maiden responded, followed by the rustling sound of clothing.

Evidently, the melodious voice belonged to a woman adding more clothes.

Jiang Dali slightly concentrated his thoughts, and was able to roughly sense the space of the room where the woman was, and how many people were around.

"After the previous Emperor passed, Honored Concubine, you’ve also become thinner day by day. I wonder why the Emperor is here to see you now."

Jiang Dali was quite puzzled upon hearing this.

The maid even dared to speculate on the Emperor’s intentions and speak this in front of the Honored Concubine. It was obvious that the maid was no ordinary person, perhaps highly favored, or Noble Consort Wang was usually so intimate with the servants that it led to negligence in discipline.

Jiang Dali suddenly had a thought and realized he was completely unfamiliar with the harem of Ming Country, knowing nothing about it. If a true expert imitated the old eunuchs and hid in the harem, they would indeed avoid his "surveillance" range.

"Don’t speculate about the Emperor’s intentions. One must be cautious in words and actions in the palace. I’m feeling weak suddenly, and since it’s windy outside, it’s inappropriate to go out to meet the Emperor. Go and invite the Emperor to come inside for a chat."

"Yes!"

"Something’s amiss..."

Jiang Dali officially determined that Noble Consort Wang had significant issues. Just the phrase "One must be cautious in words and actions in the palace" seemed to declare that these maids hadn’t been long in the palace. Requesting the Emperor to come inside due to feeling unwell was even more peculiar.

It should be known that Noble Consort Wang was the former Emperor’s wife. If she thus didn’t avoid the suspicion and allowed the New Emperor to come inside for a chat, it would damage the New Emperor’s reputation, leading to endless rumors in the harem.

Only the sound of the door creaking and the footsteps of the maid going to invite the Emperor were heard.

Jiang Dali flicked the knife handle on his back with his finger, releasing the control over the Breaking Realm Pearl, allowing the Primordial Spirit Power from the Heavenly Monk to come out and help with monitoring the surroundings.

His Spiritual Sense focused even more on the room where the Honored Concubine was, to listen to the movements at that moment.

However, the room was silent at that moment, and even the breathing of the Honored Concubine couldn’t be heard.

If not for the Spiritual Sense’s spatial sensing still working, Jiang Dali would have doubted if his sense had malfunctioned or been countered after being detected.

Suddenly, there was the extremely faint sound of "swoosh" within the room.

Jiang Dali and the Heavenly Monk were both greatly astonished, their spirits rising.

Because they heard it was someone emerging from the water, yet the person landed soundlessly, only the sound of clothes moving the water made them notice.

Such Qinggong indicated that the newcomer was extraordinary.

But the fact that someone could leap out from the water suggested they were hiding in Noble Consort Wang’s bathing tub, as there was no other water source suitable for concealment.

Who was this person?

Why were they able to hide in Noble Consort Wang’s bathing tub?

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen had already reached the door, escorted by two eunuchs.

The door opened with a creak, and Noble Consort Wang’s apologetic voice came, Zhu Yunwen standing at the door with a guilty expression said, "I have long heard that Princess Consort Wang was often unwell, but it wasn’t until today that I came to visit. It is my fault, what blame can there be upon you, Princess Consort?"

With that, Zhu Yunwen immediately stepped into the room.

The two accompanying eunuchs were about to follow but were immediately reprimanded by Zhu Yunwen.

"The Princess Consort is unwell, and except for me, none of you servants may enter to disturb."

The two attending eunuchs immediately stopped and bowed, feeling a strong sense of unease rising within.

Strange!

Too strange indeed!

Both felt something peculiar between Noble Consort Wang and the Emperor.

But having been reprimanded, they dared not risk the death penalty by forcefully entering to observe.

Jiang Dali’s Spiritual Sense captured this scene, he knew clearly that although Zhu Yunwen was pushed aside by him, he was still the Emperor, with Royal Bloodline flowing in his veins.

As long as he was still on the Imperial Throne, the monitoring personnel arranged would respect him, not coming in handy in critical moments—to put it cynically, why risk one’s life for just a few hundred taels of monthly salary?

If Zhu Yunwen truly had problems, he would have had ample time and opportunity to do unexpected things during his months away from the Imperial Palace.

The door shut with a "squeak".

Jiang Dali’s figure almost moved simultaneously, like a large bird soaring from the roof slope, flipping in the air, arms and legs spread, gliding towards the direction of the room.

Inside the room, Zhu Yunwen walked into the inner chamber, where, through the beaded curtain, he saw Noble Consort Wang along with a monk whose clasped hands emitted an aura of bloodshed, and was shocked, nearly exclaiming aloud.

The monk’s face was lean, yet his skin was exceptionally ruddy. His eyes carried a hint of kindness, about to speak with a smile when suddenly his expression changed, looking abruptly upward.

Almost simultaneously, it seemed like a massive object had fallen on the roof, shaking it, causing all the tiles to clatter rhythmically like an ensemble.

"Assassin!"

The sharp voice of a eunuch outside erupted but was crushed by a cold hum like a heavy hammer into everyone’s heart.

"Blind fools! Can’t you see who I am?"

"King!"

Inside the room, Zhu Yunwen turned as white as parchment, a cold shiver ran from his spine to his neck, electric-like expanding throughout his body.

Noble Consort Wang and the monk both changed color dramatically, looking extremely uncomfortable, locked by Qi Mechanism, not daring to move.

"I have something to discuss with the Emperor and Noble Consort Wang, all you servants, withdraw!"

Outside, Jiang Dali’s voice rang full and robust.

The door swung open proudly with a "squeak".

Jiang Dali’s hefty, imposing figure stepped in. His tiger eyes flickered cold lightning, targeting the three inside like facing a formidable foe, his lips curled into a slight cold smile.

"Is there a secret that needs discussing in this small room privately among the three of you? How about I forcibly join the conversation?"

...

...

(Today I’m feeling under the weather, might be a slight cold, can only update four thousand words.)
