Chapter 1069: Chapter 69 I Want to Turn the Sky Upside Down! The Big Boss Behind the Scenes, Wang Shouzhe_4 Chapter 1069: Chapter 69 I Want to Turn the Sky Upside Down! The Big Boss Behind the Scenes, Wang Shouzhe_4 Dog food is not to be enjoyed alone; it’s more fun when everyone eats together~ At that moment, he pretended to be unaware and thanked him politely, “Annan thanks Your Highness. However, Annan has some other matters to attend to and must take his leave now.”

“Go on, go on, watch me duel with Shouzhe for three hundred rounds,” An Commandery Prince said with full confidence as he walked into the Four Seasons Garden.

Not long after, the disheveled voice of An Commandery Prince was heard, “I didn’t expect… cough, cough~ Shouzhe is in such high spirits, in such high spirits, Ming Yuan suddenly remembered I too have matters to attend to, so I shall not disturb any further.”

“Come back, it’s not what you imagine…”

“Better not…”

“Come back, I really have important matters to entrust to Your Highness.”

An Commandery Prince, with a stiff upper lip, apprehensively returned.

However, only a moment after hearing about the important matters, he ran out immediately, his expression one of utter despair as if forcibly fed an endless amount of dog food.

…

Imperial Palace.

Inside Zhuozheng Pavilion.

Five plump little wolf pups joyously jumped up and down, performing various tricks, aiming for the roasted Spirit Meat in Emperor Longchang’s hands.

The Pixiu of Divine Power Spiritual Treasures recently felt very depressed, as the Emperor frequently stuffed large amounts of roasted Spirit Meat into its stomach, not allowing any resistance.

If not for the Emperor’s extremely high martial power, the Pixiu would have started cursing long ago.

The Pixiu sulked alone, appearing gloomy, but the Emperor was having a great time. During this period, whenever he felt troubled, it was by this group of adorable little wolf pups that he was relieved.

While Emperor Longchang was enjoying himself.

“Your Majesty,” the Commander of the Internal Guard came to report, “Zhao Ge Elder and Zhao Zhikun seek an audience with Your Majesty.”

Zhao Hongbo?

As he was playing with the little wolf pups, Emperor Longchang frowned slightly, “What does that old guy want now?”

After hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand and said, “Just say I am busy reviewing petitions, let them wait outside Zhuozheng Pavilion.”

Wasn’t the Internal Cabinet just sent a bunch of petitions impeaching Wang Shouzhe? It’s “normal” for him to be a bit busy.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” the Commander of the Internal Guard took the order and left.

Zhuozheng Pavilion was not small in size and was equipped with formations that blocked sound and prevented the detection of God Sense. Naturally, there were hardly any who were bold enough to probe around with their God Sense within the Imperial Palace.

Thus, it was difficult to notice from the outside whatever misdeeds Emperor Longchang was committing inside.

As he continued feeding the little wolf pups, his interest waned somewhat, and he asked, “Old Yao, Zhao Hongbo that old guy usually doesn’t visit unless it’s something significant; he wouldn’t be bold enough to urge me to investigate Wang Shouzhe, would he?”

“That shouldn’t be the case,” Old Yao replied, “Zhao Ge Elder is always thoughtful and steady, not so rash. Moreover, he has brought Zhao Zhikun with him this time. Most likely, it must be something concerning Zhao Zhikun.”

“Haha, he just returned from the battlefield outside our domain, and he’s already in a hurry to request rewards for him. Humph, let them wait, let them be hung out to dry.”

Recently, without realizing it, Emperor Longchang’s disdain for the Zhao Clan had grown stronger, and he no longer saw things in a positive light.

After finishing his sentence, Emperor Longchang once again started feeding the wolf pups, casting the two from the Zhao Clan to the back of his mind.

This casting aside lasted for a full four hours.

Zhao Hongbo and Zhao Zhikun just stood like that outside Zhuozheng Pavilion for four hours, standing till the sun fully set, till the moon hung high, still wearing serious expressions, without uttering a word, and without a single complaint.

But as they were waiting, an old man dressed in the attire of a prince, wearing a crown of a prince, strode towards them majestically.

Even though his temples were grizzled and he looked aged, his brows exuded a martial nobility that made one feel favorable towards him at first glance.

Upon seeing him, the internal guard hurriedly saluted, “Greetings to Prince Dedesublime.”

Prince Dedesublime!

This was the only remaining prince from the lineage of An Commandery Prince and was only a little younger than Prince Dexin.

Zhao Hongbo and Zhao Zhikun also hurriedly greeted him according to protocol, “Greetings to Prince Dedesublime.”

At the same time, both felt alarmed, thinking it was a bad sign. Why would Prince Dedesublime suddenly appear at such a critical moment?

“Oh, isn’t this the Prime Minister?” Prince Dedesublime exclaimed as if he had just noticed the presence of the two Zhaos, his face full of surprise, “Are you bringing Zhikun to meet His Majesty? Why are you standing outside?”

Zhao Hongbo responded calmly, “His Majesty is currently busy reviewing petitions and asked us to wait a while.”

Wait a while?

Prince Dedesublime was slightly astonished, looking at the Commander of the Internal Guard beside him, “Prime Minister, how long have you been waiting here?”

“Your Highness, it has been four hours,” the Commander of the Internal Guard honestly replied.

“Four hours? His Majesty actually made the grand Prime Minister of the Internal Cabinet stand outside for four hours?” Prince Dedesublime wore a disbelieving “shocked” expression, “How could our Great Ancestor have so many petitions to review? Aren’t most mundane affairs handled by the Internal Cabinet? Prime Minister, this is your fault. Our Great Ancestor is advanced in years and has worried over Da Qian for a lifetime, and you still won’t allow him some peace? How exactly is your cabinet handling things?”

Thus, before Zhao Hongbo could react, Zhao Zhikun, full of youthful vigor, became somewhat restless. You, merely a retired prince without real power, dare to lecture the Prime Minister of the Internal Cabinet?

Zhao Hongbo stopped him with a look and then, as calmly as before, clasped his hands in explanation to Prince Dedesublime, “Recently, there have indeed been numerous troubling affairs. It is true that the cabinet has not managed efficiently, causing His Majesty hardship.”
