Chapter 405 - 402
Inside the grand hall, he saw palace maids kneeling on the ground, trembling like sieves, not daring to breathe heavily. They were afraid that if the Emperor got angry, anyone who displeased him would lose their life.
The Crown Prince hurriedly entered the Imperial Palace upon hearing the news. When he heard the Emperor cursing in the bedchamber, he hesitated and did not dare to go in.
It was a little eunuch who quietly told Gao Demao that the Crown Prince had arrived. Gao Demao hurriedly took small, quick steps to greet him: "Your Highness, you should go in quickly!"
The Crown Prince did not move and looked at Gao Demao: "Is Father very angry?"
"Indeed! Before the battle report came back, the memorials from the new Governor of Yanwo and the Left Prime Minister’s son Li Mingrui arrived one after another. His Highness King Liang did not handle the disaster relief properly, inciting a rebellion among the people. Now, the entire Yanwo is waiting for His Majesty to send troops to suppress the rioters! His Majesty was already furious, and within half a cup of tea’s time, news of Daliang declaring war on our Jin Kingdom arrived! How could His Majesty not be angry?"
The Crown Prince’s fingers twitched. It seemed that the people he had sent had completed their tasks. He felt great joy in his heart.
This time, the rebellion in Yanwo and the outbreak of war in Chunmu Mountain happened concurrently. Knowing his father’s temperament, King Liang would undoubtedly be blamed.
Gao Demao noticed that the look in the Crown Prince’s eyes seemed much more stable than when he first arrived, and there was an inadvertent hint of joy in his brows. He hurriedly said: "If Your Highness has a good idea, you should quickly tell His Majesty. His Majesty’s headache is acting up, and his anger is not subsiding. If this continues, something bad might happen!"
