Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

“Thank you for your concern, Second Prince,” Fang Dongyun said with a cupped fist.

“It’s good that you’re alright, my sworn brother!”

The Second Prince's expression seemed magnanimous, but in his heart, there was a faint haze.

He always felt that Fang Dongyun and the Eleventh Prince were hiding something from him.

Tap, tap, tap—

The sound of a cane hitting the ground echoed in the Temple of Heaven.

Even without looking, everyone knew that the person coming out was the Thirteenth Prince. After all, no one else used a cane.

“Huh? What’s this?”

Everyone suddenly noticed that when the Thirteenth Prince came out, he was carrying a minor official in the Secret Realm Division's robes on his shoulder.

With a bang!

Zhou Haochen casually threw Sun Mu to the ground and reported to Emperor Qian Yuan.

“Father, this is a White Lotus Sect traitor that your son captured in the Earth Mother Tree Realm.”

“In your son's opinion, the changes in the Earth Mother Tree Realm are inextricably linked to the White Lotus Sect.”

As soon as Zhou Haochen said this, the civil and military officials were in an uproar.

“Thirteenth Prince, is this true? You can't just accuse people at will.”

“How could I speak nonsense?”

Zhou Haochen snorted coldly, his expression slightly cold.

At this moment, the most uncomfortable person was Song Heng.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, he was in charge of the White Lotus Sect case.

Now, the White Lotus Sect had caused such a big disturbance under the noses of Emperor Qian Yuan and the civil and military officials. Song Heng could not escape the blame.

Forget about entering the cabinet, it would be a blessing if he didn’t end up in the heavenly prison.

Song Heng's face was gloomy and uncertain, changing continuously. He obviously knew how dangerous his situation was.

“Your Majesty, please allow this old minister to enter the Earth Mother Tree Realm to capture the traitors.”

Song Heng took the initiative to volunteer. Even now, he only used the word 'traitors' and did not mention the White Lotus Sect, obviously still harboring illusions.

“Enough!”

Emperor Qian Yuan roared, the True Dragon was enraged, and the anger soared to the sky, changing the color of the world.

Bang—

Bang—

Bang—

Everyone present knelt down, prostrating on the ground.

This was the wrath of the Son of Heaven.

When the Son of Heaven was angry, millions of corpses would lie down!

“Song Heng, is this how you handle affairs?”

“You have disappointed me too much!”

Song Heng swayed twice, his face as pale as a sheet.

Emperor Qian Yuan's words were so severe, showing the extent of the anger in his heart.

It was almost like an erupting volcano, no different from one.

Emperor Qian Yuan stared at Song Heng coldly, his eyes indifferent, as if he were the Heavenly Dao presiding over the trial.

“Song Heng, you are not young anymore.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the extent of Song Heng's swaying increased.

Song Heng understood Emperor Qian Yuan's subtext.

He was old and should retire and return to his hometown.

This was already Emperor Qian Yuan's preferential treatment to him.

If he didn't know what was good for him, what awaited him would not be his hometown, but the heavenly prison.

Even though he was reluctant to give up power and yearned for the position of Grand Secretary.

Faced with such a big hole, he could only choose to retreat bravely.

Song Heng kowtowed heavily to Emperor Qian Yuan.

“Your Majesty, this old minister is old and his energy is insufficient. Please allow this old minister to retire and return to his hometown.”

“I grant it!”

In a few words, Emperor Qian Yuan dismissed a minister.

When the Second Prince saw Song Heng retire, he wanted to defend him a few words.

But before he could speak, he noticed Emperor Qian Yuan's extremely cold expression, as cold as the ten-thousand-year-old black ice in the Arctic.

Instantly, the Second Prince chose to shut up.

Seeing the Second Prince suffer, the Crown Prince felt extremely happy, as if Zhu Bajie had eaten a ginseng fruit.

If the occasion wasn't right, the Crown Prince would have liked to laugh three times on the spot to vent his joy.

“Second brother, you lost a Minister of the Six Ministries. I'll see how you fight with me?”

“I'll let you have Fang Dongyun.”

Half an hour later.

In the Golden Luan Hall.

Zhou Sheng and Leng Shangyun returned from the Earth Mother Tree Realm.

Immediately, Leng Shangyun reported the situation in the Earth Mother Tree Realm to Emperor Qian Yuan.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, I encountered a White Lotus Sect demon impersonating a minor official of the Secret Realm Division in the Earth Mother Tree Realm.”

“The heart of the Earth Mother Divine Tree was stolen by the White Lotus Sect demon. I chased after him all the way, intending to keep the White Lotus Sect traitor, but unexpectedly encountered Taishu Qing outside the space node.”

“I couldn't take down Taishu Qing alone and was blocked by him, allowing the White Lotus Sect traitor to escape.”

“In addition, the nine secret vaults in the Earth Mother Tree Realm suffered heavy losses. The specific losses have not yet been fully counted.”

As soon as Leng Shangyun finished his report, the civil and military officials in the Golden Luan Hall instantly exploded.

The heart of the Earth Mother Divine Tree was actually stolen.

This was simply a great humiliation!

The losses were too heavy!

With the loss of the tree heart, the condition of the Earth Mother Divine Tree was very bad. With a little carelessness, Da Yu might completely lose this divine tree.

As for the name Taishu Qing, it made the old ministers who had experienced the last struggle for the throne tremble with fear.

Taishu Qing was Zhao Wang's loyal follower and was also among the top three on Emperor Qian Yuan's wanted list.

The Earth Mother Tree Realm incident involved the White Lotus Sect and the remnants of Zhao Wang.

Didn't that mean that the remnants of Zhao Wang and the White Lotus Sect were colluding together?

This was a complete disaster.

Song Heng, who had been silent and like a transparent person, suddenly felt that retiring and returning to his hometown was not a bad choice.

It was both the theft of the tree heart, the White Lotus Sect, and the remnants of Zhao Wang.

This water was too muddy.

His old bones couldn't take it.

“Heh—”

“What a White Lotus Sect, what remnants of Zhao Wang!”

“How did they get into the Earth Mother Tree Realm? How did they find the space node? Where did the Secret Realm Division's official robes on them come from?”

“Zhou Sheng, give me an explanation.”

Emperor Qian Yuan's almost roaring voice made everyone in the Golden Luan Hall suffocate, not even daring to breathe heavily.

With a bang!

The sound of Zhou Sheng kneeling down was as heavy as it could be.

“Your subject deserves to die!”

“You know you deserve to die?”

“Zhou Sheng, for your incompetence, you are sentenced to the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Prison. Without my order, no one is allowed to visit Zhou Sheng.”

The Golden Luan Hall was silent.

The eighteenth level of the Heavenly Prison was the most dangerous place in the entire Da Yu.

None of the officials who had been imprisoned there had ever been able to retreat completely.

Zhou Sheng was considered hopeless.

Now it was the Crown Prince's turn to feel uneasy.

All the civil and military officials knew that the Crown Prince and Zhou Sheng were brothers-in-law, each having taken one of the Wang family's twin sisters as concubines.

This made the Second Prince, who was impotently furious, feel slightly balanced.

He lost the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the Crown Prince lost the head of the Secret Realm Division.

Losing together was better than winning alone!

After a dozen breaths, Emperor Qian Yuan slightly calmed the anger in his heart and said slowly.

“Ai Qing, the Earth Mother Tree Realm case will be handled by your Town Demon Division.”

“Within seven days, I want a result.”

“Your subject obeys!”

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice had just been dismissed, and such a monstrous case as the Earth Mother Tree Realm naturally fell into the hands of the Town Demon Division.

It was just a pity that this case was a hot potato.

In the Golden Luan Hall, many people were ridiculing Yu Shenxing for being unlucky and taking over this mess.

At the same time, they were also grateful that Emperor Qian Yuan had not asked them to investigate the case.
