Chapter 1921: More Than Enough
Meanwhile, King Dai was lying leisurely in the rear courtyard on a rocking chair while enjoying grapes. A married man’s happiest time was naturally when his wife returned to her parents’ home!
After returning from the court, he had discovered that his wife had been called back to the Meng clan residence. It seemed his father-in-law had something to discuss with her. He hadn’t inquired about that in detail, though. The Meng clan had a lot of things to worry about, and many of the things they discussed weren't things his little brain could understand.
Why does someone like me need to bring trouble on myself for no reason?
Isn’t it great to just enjoy my life as much as possible?
However, he felt that eating grapes all by himself was a bit too boring. After all, others from distinguished clans all had their concubines peel the grapes and feed them straight into their mouths. That sweet juice and those soft hands… Just the thought of it made him excited. And yet, Meng Chan kept too tight a leash on him, so he didn’t have any concubines, nor did he have any pretty maids.
Sigh… I want to cry just thinking about it.
Once I’m the emperor, I’m going to properly get a huge harem for myself!
Hmph, would Meng Chan dare to manage me then? The court alone would criticize her until she didn’t dare say a thing! An emperor pampering his women isn’t because of lust, but in order to spread his branches and leaves. That's part of an emperor’s duty!
If the imperial clan didn’t have enough heirs because of her jealousy, that would be a huge crime in itself!
Despite his wishes, he could only think about those things. After all, he wasn’t the emperor yet.
However, another opportunity had arrived today. He had sent someone to King Jin Manor, so now it would all depend on whether or not that woman knew what was good for her.
She’ll definitely understand, since it’s for the sake of the He clan.
Once Madam Jin comes over, she'll definitely act soft in nature. She's nothing like our family’s tigress.
Huh? Doesn’t that mean I'll be able to do whatever I want then?
Even the Worries Be Gone Rosemary could be saved.
As long as Madam Jin can please me, I'll let her father and those clansmen go.
Sigh, I really outdid myself this time! With this leverage in hand, their entire clan’s fate is in my hands; that’s more useful than any drug.
Today is a rare day when Chan’er isn’t home. She didn’t let me have any cute little maids, but things should be even easier now that I’m alone!
He was still a bit worried and ordered the gate servant, “Pass down this order. If Madam Jin comes looking for me, immediately let her in. Also, contact me immediately!”
“Yes, king!” The servant expressed his dedication and ran out to pass along the orders.
“Ah… I feel so damn good today,” King Dai said as he leaned into his chair and gently rocked back and forth.
That crown princess’ expression was so overcast and gloomy!
And that Zu bastard even vainly tried to bring me down! That guy is nothing more than a peasant through and through! He doesn’t know how to play politics at all. How could he be an opponent for a prince like me?
That idiot King Jin actually died to a brute like that. I actually have to thank him, now that I think about it… Without him, how could I have the chance to enjoy the blessing that is Madam Jin today?
When he thought about theoe things, he felt much better after the slap to the face he had suffered in the Imperial Palace.
Forget it, forget it. I’ll slowly settle the debt with him in the future.
After all, what the Qin dukes had lost this time was their legs, as well as their entire lifetimes of cultivation. Compared to that, what was a slap to the face?
Either way, Chan’er and father-in-law will figure out a way to retaliate. They’ll help us get revenge then.
While he was immersed in his happiness, however, a terrifying roar tore through the entire residence.
“Zhao Ping, crawl the f*ck out here right now!”
King Dai was caught off guard and shivered all over. He was so scared that he tumbled off of his recliner. Only after a while did he snap out of his daze.
What the hell is going on?!
…
A bit earlier, Zu An had walked up to the impressive King Dai Manor, with its large vermilion red gates covered in imposing rows of yellow copper rings. Several guards stood outside the king manor, as well as a gatekeeper who attended to those who came and went.
When he saw Zu An walk straight up to the main gate, the gatekeeper came over to him and asked, “What brings this distinguished sir here? Do you have an appointment or invitation?”
Zu An didn’t bother paying him any attention and walked straight up to the main entrance.
The gatekeeper’s expression changed, and he quickly gave the guards nearby a look. A vicious grin appeared on the guards’ faces.
There’s actually someone who dares to cause trouble in this king manor?
They had been bored since there was nothing to do, but then this pretty boy had come over to start something interesting! There wasn’t a hint of ki coming out of this person’s body, as if he were an ordinary person. Just a single punch of theirs would probably be enough to make him cry for a long time! As for his identity, what did it matter? Here in the capital city, who had higher status than a king?
When he saw the guards surrounding him, Zu An swept his gaze coldly over them.
The guards immediately felt as if they had been thrown into a frozen cellar, and they shuddered. It was as if a giant primordial beast were staring at them! They didn’t dare to budge in the slightest.
Zu An didn’t pay them any attention and walked straight up to the massive and imposing gate. His foot directly slammed into the two massive doors, and just like that, they came crashing down!
The gatekeeper had been about to ask why the guards hadn’t stopped him, but when he saw that, he immediately stopped cold.
This gate's materials had been carefully selected when it was built in order to make it look majestic and imposing, but they were also very practical. The whole gate weighed 500 kilograms! On top of that, the gatekeeper had heard that the king manor had even added some defensive formations on top of it.
And yet this youngster’s nonchalant kick was already enough to bring it down?
Is this power a mere human can have?
What followed immediately after was that line:
“Zhao Ping, crawl the f*ck out here right now!”
The gatekeeper’s eyes immediately rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.
