The sharp sound was like a sharp knife, tearing apart the heavy atmosphere that filled the sky above the Heavenly Profound Palace. It was like a drop of clear water that had splashed into a pot of oil, instantly boiling and exploding!

As a popular person at Emperor Zhao’s side, Eunuch Tong was also the person he trusted the most. After being nurtured by the resources in the Zhao family’s cultivation treasure vault, he had long reached an extremely powerful realm.

However, what really made the civil and military officials in the hall lose control of their emotions was not the powerful mental power contained in Eunuch Tong’s words.

In fact, Eunuch Tong did not even use any mental power in his words. He only repeated what Emperor Zhao had said to him, causing a huge commotion.

Storm Calming was given to Wang Qilin, who was ranked third in the Hall Examination? This…

Was he crazy?!

This was too absurd!

Even Qin Hua’an suddenly raised his head at this moment. There was confusion and doubt in the depths of his eyes, but there was no feeling of joy towards the Lin family not being able to obtain Storm Calming.

There was something strange going on.

He knew that Emperor Zhao’s lifespan limit was approaching. Before he died, he wanted to arrange the inheritance of the throne and the strategies to target the Lin family, the Zhong family, and the Ye family.

He knew that Emperor Zhao was already somewhat unable to control Ye Longsheng from the Ye family at the front line of the Blue Wave River.

Ye Longsheng submitted petitions again and again, but they were all suppressed by Emperor Zhao. He even personally issued an imperial decree not to send troops to cross the Blue Wave River at all.

Repeatedly ignored, Ye Longsheng was disappointed and angry. He even ignored the Emperor’s decree and crossed the Blue Wave River to fight the Yuan Meng Empire’s army. Although he had won huge victories and even killed the other party’s commander-in-chief,

news of his great victory did not make Emperor Zhao happy at all. Moreover, it did not change Emperor Zhao’s thoughts of not letting go of the North Expedition at all. Instead, it aroused the fear in Emperor Zhao’s heart and he recalled the history of the Founding Ancestor’s rise.

The supervisor placed in Ye Longsheng’s army was a Gold-Purple Official, who had reached the seventh realm of Spirit Refinement, and a capable subordinate of Eunuch Tong. The two of them had even their cultivation sealed because they opposed the attack against the Yuan Meng army and were imprisoned in the camp. They were only released when the army returned victorious.

The Gold-Purple Official and the supervisor eunuch reported everything to the court, making Emperor Zhao, who was about to reach the end of his lifespan, afraid and angry.

As the current Prime Minister, Qin Lishi naturally knew very well.

He also understood that Emperor Zhao was setting up a huge chess game against Ye Longsheng.

Storm Calming, the Lin family, Qin Lishi, and even the Ninth Prince, who was known as an immortal in the depths of the palace… were all chess pieces on this chessboard.

However, Qin Lishi never expected Emperor Zhao to be so… crazy.

Because An Le had become the top scholar of the Hall Examination, this young man who was on good terms with the Lin Residence had a chance to obtain Storm Calming.

Logically speaking, Storm Calming should also be bestowed upon the top scholar.

However, Emperor Zhao had given Storm Calming to the Wang family’s Qilin Son.

Indeed, the Emperor had never specifically said that the top scholar would obtain the Storm Calming, but… such a change in the agreement naturally caused an uproar and shocked everyone’s emotions.

Qin Lishi’s mind raced. At this moment, his Primordial Spirit could not stabilize and burst out with intertwined mental energy.

What exactly did the Emperor want to do?

Suddenly, a figure appeared in Qin Lishi’s mind.

He turned around and glanced at Hua Jiebing, who was standing in the court.

He narrowed his eyes and seemed to be in deep thought.contemporary romance

At this moment, it was not only Qin Lishi who could not suppress his mental power. The civil and military officials in front of the Heavenly Profound Palace were all shocked to the point of mental power fluctuation.

They all guessed that the Emperor had taken out the second-grade treasure saber, Storm Calming, from the Dharma Treasure Vault to let the Lin family, who did not know the faction, choose a side to pave the way for the new Emperor Zhao to ascend the throne.

But now, the Emperor had forcefully rewarded Storm Calming to the Wang family’s Qilin Son…

This stunned many officials. They could not guess the meaning of Emperor Zhao’s actions at all.

Deputy Prime Minister Ouyang Xiangru could no longer maintain his calm. He frowned and walked out of the line.

“Your Majesty, Storm Calming is a second-grade Dharma treasure. It’s really inappropriate to reward it to the third place.”

Ouyang Xiangru said it tactfully, but the meaning in his words was obvious.

At this moment, Eunuch Tong, who was in charge of sending the message, lowered his eyes. After experiencing the initial shock, he seemed to have understood Emperor Zhao’s goal.

On the throne, Emperor Zhao smiled and said, “Storm Calming is a second-grade Dharma treasure, but the Dragon Blood Fire Glass Spear and Ten Thousand Year Pine Bone Bow that I want to reward to the second place and the top scholar are also second-grade. In terms of rank, they’re even better than Storm Calming.”

Ouyang Xiangru understood that this was premeditated.

They even went to great lengths to take out two precious second-grade Dharma treasures from the Dharma Treasure Vault as matching items to seal everyone’s mouths.

As for how to reward them, it was all up to Emperor Zhao.

Ouyang Xiangru returned to the lineup and glanced at Prime Minister Qin. At this moment, Prime Minister Qin had already calmed down. His expression was solemn, and there was no abnormality on his face.

Li You’an and Martial Chief Di Cang only felt that it was ridiculous.

Even the Second Headmaster of the Literary Department was speechless. Clearly, he did not expect Emperor Zhao to make such a decision.

What exactly did the Emperor want to do?

However, outside the Heavenly Profound Palace.

An Le and Ye Wenxi’s expressions turned ugly..
