Heart of The Emperor

Regular Chapter

As Princess Ling Meng started describing what happened, His Majesty's face slowly became more serious, a chilling coldness accumulating within his eyes. His Majesty's head was lowered as he listened quietly without making even the slightest movement.

This matter involved the safety of His Majesty's own daughter. In addition it had also dragged in another 'crucial' person. This person had often remained indifferent to political affairs, but his influence and the consequences that would result from his actions were simply too huge, so much so that the Emperor himself may not be able to bear it. It could even be said that the Emperor was unwilling to face it!

As an Emperor, at a time when His Majesty's own daughter had suffered from an assassination attempt, His Majesty would instead have to be concerned about a playboy debauchee. Could there be no love amongst the royal bloodlines? How sorrowful!

Finally...

"According to your story, Jun Moxie had went to deliver a warning to you before the assassination attempt occurred?" The Emperor pondered.

"Yes. Although I cannot be certain, I believe that there should not be any suspicions regarding Jun Moxie's movements. Maybe he found some clues regarding this incident," Princess Ling Meng firmly said in a low tone.

"Clues... Considering Jun Moxie's worthless character, how could he have any ability to find any clues... Never mind, these are all minor details now. At any rate, another master appeared and saved Jun Moxie before taking him away. In other words, Jun Moxie did not die, correct?" The Emperor's eyes turned mysteriously profound.

"That is so, Imperial Father," Princess Ling Meng knew that His Majesty had purposely avoided speaking about Ye Guhan even though he knew of his existence. She herself chose not to mention his name.

"If that is the case... then why is Jun Zhantian losing his mind? He even chose to disregard the consequences of drumming the Generals Summoning Drum!" The Emperor pondered about it. "His grandson is still alive and the Jun Family had yet to fall to the point of having no descendants. Why then would he act this way? This action of his is simply..."

His Majesty stood up and slowly stepped forward two paces, his fingers gently tapping on his forehead. His Majesty slowly continued. "His grandson is not dead, but Jun Zhantian inexplicably went mad, en... One thing is clear, Jun Moxie has yet to reach home. Hmm, I believe that Jun Zhantian must have received news that his grandson was in danger, but after Jun Moxie did not return for so long, he became mad. Hehe, it seems I have underestimated them. This stone... how many birds will it hit?" His Majesty gave a cold smile.

Princess Ling Meng suddenly remembered something, her beautiful face turning pale. If it was truly as she had imagined, then the consequences resulting from this misunderstanding would be something beyond her ability to bear!

"Since Jun Moxie's life was no longer in danger back then, why did you not send a message to the Jun Family? Meng'er, you were too careless this time... Meng'er, did you remember something else?" Seeing Princess Ling Meng's face turning pale, the Emperor smiled as he tried to suppress his anger. However, his eyebrows and eyes have already started showing some signs of his fury. His daughter had always maintained herself in both manner and conduct, why would she suddenly make this mistake today. Could it be that the assassination attempt had shaken her heart that badly?

"Imperial Father, before Jun Moxie's corpse was found... ah, I meant during the time when we were unable to find his body, I had... I had sent someone to inform the matter to Senior Duke Jun. It was only after the messenger had left that the old man appeared and carried away the injured Jun Moxie," Princess Ling Meng stammered in an awkward manner, seemingly having difficulty speaking.
