Chapter 277: Chapter 116: Return to the Court (8) The Emperor’s Generous Reward, Sharp Edges Fully Revealed_2

In fact, everyone knew that in his youth, Xiao Jinxing was the most favored by the Emperor. If it wasn’t for the accident, it would not have been his turn to become the Emperor’s most beloved. Now, the change in Xiao Jinxing...

Xiao Jinsen couldn’t help but clench his fist tightly.

Only to stop himself from venting his fury.

After all calculations.

He never expected that Xiao Jinxing could actually stand up again.

His figure so commanding, his looks peerless.

In this moment, it seemed as if all the radiance was taken away by him alone.

One couldn’t shift their gaze away.

Xiao Jinsen’s eyes tightened, a flash of murderous intent crossing them.

Xiao Jinxing made him truly feel threatened, and the only outcome for such a one is, death!

"Rise." Xiao Zhanping, too, took a while before he calmed down, and let Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi stand up.

The two of them stood up respectfully in the great hall, facing Xiao Zhanping.

Xiao Zhanping began to speak, his voice rising with excitement, "The plague in Yuzhou City has been controlled, and I am very relieved. The suffering of the people is my suffering. Now that Prince Chen has rescued the people from their hardships, I shall bestow a great reward!"

"This son thanks Father Emperor for the reward." Xiao Jinxing promptly knelt down again to receive the reward.

Ye Qichi also knelt down once more.

In ancient times, what was most annoying was having to kneel down all the time.

"You deserve it, rise." Xiao Zhanping said to Xiao Jinxing, a rare gentleness in his tone.

Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi stood up once more.

"This time Prince Chen’s trip to Yuzhou not only controlled the epidemic but also captured Chen Hezhi and his son, the former Military Governor of Yuzhou. Chen Hezhi, taking advantage of his Military Governor’s position, committed outrageous acts in Yuzhou City, bringing harm to the people and innumerable deaths and injuries among them. His crimes merit death." After Xiao Zhanping finished speaking seriously, his tone slightly softened as he said, "This is also a great achievement, hence a reward!"

"This son, thanks Father Emperor." Xiao Jinxing knelt down again.

Ye Qichi also knelt down on the ground beside him.

Pondering, can’t the rewards just be given out all at once?!

"Rise." Xiao Zhanping told them to stand up.

The two stood up once more, with immense respect.

"Ten Extremes Sect, a killer organization known in the martial world for committing atrocities. The court has sent forces to eliminate them numerous times, only to fail each time. On the return journey this time, Prince Chen eradicated Ten Extremes Sect and captured them. For this great achievement, a reward is inevitable."

"This son, thanks Father Emperor." Xiao Jinxing hastily knelt down.

Ye Qichi knelt down impatiently beside Xiao Jinxing.

This time Xiao Zhanping did not tell them to stand up immediately, but with a somewhat boastful tone, he spoke to the civil and military officials, "On this one expedition, Prince Chen has established three great merits for the court. In the history of Daxuan Kingdom, never has anyone had such a glorious record. Prince Chen, you truly have made your Emperor, extremely gratified."

"This son has only done his utmost to relieve Father Emperor’s worries and bring blessings to the people."

"What fine words, ’to relieve My concerns and bring blessings to the people’!" Xiao Zhanping’s face was unreservedly smiling as he looked at Xiao Jinxing, "Before I issue the imperial edict, I want to know, how did your legs recover?"

"Replying to Father Emperor." Xiao Jinxing spoke respectfully, "My legs have long been plagued by illness, and I had not expected them to get better. However, on the way to Yuzhou, I was assassinated, and thanks to Qi’er’s sacrifice in helping me, we escaped together. Then we fled into the forest; given both of our injuries were severe, we applied some herbal medicines. By a stroke of luck, these wild herbs not only aided in my body’s recovery but also helped my legs. After taking them, my legs soon regained some sensation. With Qi’er’s medical skills, using the properties of the herbs, she treated and cured my leg ailment."

Xiao Zhanping listened and nodded, "This can also be considered a blessing in disguise."

"It is all thanks to Father Emperor assigning me to go to Yuzhou that I had the chance to use these rare medicinal herbs." Xiao Jinxing hastily added.

"The matter of your assassination is still under investigation. I shall give you closure," Xiao Zhanping stated.

"Thank you, Father Emperor." Xiao Jinxing bowed his head in salute.

Ye Qichi followed Xiao Jinxing’s lead and kept bowing her head as well.

She certainly couldn’t admit that her legs were healed long ago.

To do so would be a crime of deceiving the Emperor.

However, right now, the reason she and Xiao Jinxing came up with is sure to infuriate Xiao Jinsen.

Xiao Jinsen could probably never imagine.

His attempt to assassinate Xiao Jinxing not only failed but actually cured his legs.

His heart must be twisted.

Xiao Jinsen was indeed twisted.

Hearing Xiao Jinxing’s explanation, he had to forcefully suppress the fury inside him.
