"Okay, shut up!"

Emperor Xia spat and sat back down beside the imperial desk, his expression becoming solemn and murderous again:

"You little slave! You must give me an explanation for what happened today!"

"The Japanese Crown Prince Sun Dachuan is no longer of any use to us, why do you still keep him?"

"What selfish motives do you have, you little dog slave!?"

"If it weren't for the Golden-clad Chief Constable Nie Zheng of the Divine Constable Department, who was grateful for my support and took the initiative to ask me to calm the matter down, if I had asked Lord Lu to report what happened in the secret passage to Zhuge Shenhou, how would I explain it to him?"

"You know! When I first ascended the throne, I promised him that I would not vent my anger on the late emperor's widow!"

"You little dog slave! You really deserve to die!"

"What does that matter, my Lord?"

Liu Jin sighed softly, "The late emperor did such a heartless, vicious and cruel thing to you back then. After our counterattack, we only settled accounts with his widow and did not drag him out of the underground palace to grind his bones and scatter his ashes. This was already generous and magnanimous!"

"Do you remember, Your Majesty?"

"During the winter solstice of that year, it was extremely cold, the coldest in a century! The Danlong Wall outside the Golden Throne Hall was covered with three feet of ice!"

"And the late emperor and those princes made you wear a single layer of clothes and walk barefoot to the observatory of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory step by step! Just for fun!"

"He is simply a beast among beasts!"

"In the end, I couldn't bear it any longer, so I threatened to die and carried you down the last jade steps!"

"On the sundial of the observatory, we, the master and the servant, hugged each other and cried bitterly. We almost froze to death! In the entire royal family, was there anyone who sympathized with us?"

"If it weren't for the time when the beautiful and compassionate Empress Dowager, who looked ageless, came back from confinement and angrily rebuked the late emperor, we, the master and the servant, would have been tortured to death in the palace by those beasts!"

By the end of his speech, Liu Jin was already in tears.

Emperor Xia Su Wudao was listening at the side, his eyes were also red and his expression was sad.

"I haven't forgotten!"

Suddenly, Daya stood up, drew out the sword hanging on the side of the dragon couch, and said sadly:

"My father gave me the name 'Su Wuyou', hoping that I would live a life without worries, without competing with the world, and be content to be a leisurely king in a small county in Bashu!"

"It's the late Emperor Ming Jing! No! It's Xia Lizong!"

"In front of all my brothers, he jokingly called me the most "unrighteous and unwise" person in the history of the royal family!"

"After I won the final victory, despite the opposition of the court officials, I resolutely changed my name to "Wudao" to commemorate the previous shame!"

"Tell me! Can I forget? Do I dare to forget!?"

Hear this.

Liu Jin quickly knelt on his knees and cried, "It was my fault! Your Majesty, please calm down! At least... I will always be loyal to you!"

Emperor Xia cursed angrily, "If you are really loyal to me, why do you keep that Japanese rapist? The rusty knife should be thrown away immediately after its last use! Don't you understand this principle?"

"Your Majesty, you are wrong! I kept this man for the sake of the imperial court!"

Liu Jin said: "In recent years, our East Factory's agents in the coastal areas have repeatedly reported that the overseas country of Fusang has been preparing for war and its ambitions have expanded. It has sent troops to invade and occupy many island countries. Who knows, one day it will invade the six counties of the East China Sea!"

"Therefore, we have the eldest son of Emperor Asuka in our hands, and he will be of great use in the future! I want to quietly make achievements at that time and then surprise everyone!"

"you......."

Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes: "Do you really think so?"

"Every word of this servant is true!"

"Forget it, Liu Jin."

Emperor Xia took a deep breath and said, "No matter whether your lies come from your heart or not, this matter has been properly concluded. I have also whipped you, and my anger has almost subsided."

"But the body of the late queen, according to Nie Zheng, has not yet completely decayed. Why do you think that is?"

"Hey, speaking of this, I also find it weird."

Liu Jin also looked confused: "I have been hiding the corpse of Queen Xiu in the tunnel, but no matter what method I use, I cannot completely destroy it. Not only that, in recent years, some fresh flesh has even grown under the rotting flesh!"

"what?!"

Emperor Xia's body trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Her head is still buried in the underground palace behind Jintan Temple. How can a person be reborn without a head?"

"Ham, who knows?"

Liu Jin shook his head. "However, there have always been rumors in the court that Queen Xiu...she might not be a human!"

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Queen Mingyue and the former queen once had a fight in the harem. Queen Mingyue, as the chief saint of Feixian Island, was even slightly defeated!"

"Fuck the hell!"

Emperor Xia suddenly lost his temper, cursed angrily, picked up the imperial porcelain on the table and smashed it!

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Liu Jin did not dare to dodge and let the porcelain hit his "indestructible body of diamond" and shatter into powder.

"How many times have I said this! You are not allowed to mention "that woman's" name in front of me! From the moment she abandoned me! My heart has already died once! I don't want to die a second time!"

"This slave deserves death! This slave will never dare to do it again!"

Knowing that he had touched a sensitive spot, Liu Jin quickly kowtowed and admitted his mistake.

After a while.

Emperor Xia calmed down a little and said coldly:

"I'll ask you one last time, is Sun Dachuan dead?"

"Death to death!"

Liu Jin gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, you know me well. If I take action myself, no one will survive!"

"Okay, Liu Jin, I can spare your life this time, but you have to pay a price."

Emperor Xia said quietly.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

"Hand over the 'Tianxing Card' that I bestowed upon you!" Emperor Xia said in a tone that did not allow for any room for negotiation.

"this......."

"immediately!"

"Yes!" Liu Jin gritted his teeth, took out a half-moon shaped token from his arms, and presented it with both hands.

The token was inlaid with a gold border, and right above it were engraved with eight large, flamboyant Chinese characters: "Execute first and report later, imperial authorization."

"You are dismissed."

Emperor Xia waved his hand in the air, and a terrifying suction force appeared in his palm, which actually sucked the token over from a distance!

"May I ask your Majesty, with this Heavenly Order, what do you intend to do..."

"Good question."

Emperor Xia said coldly: "From today on, this token no longer belongs to your East Factory. I will give it to the West Factory."

"Your Majesty wants to give...the Western Factory?"

Liu Jin's hair stood up all over his body. "Didn't Your Majesty promise me that within five years, after Jiang Wunian's death, the Western Factory would be disbanded and completely erased from Daxia's history?"

"That was before."

Emperor Xia's eyes were cold: "Over the years, your East Factory has increasingly disappointed me. A dog is lazy and good at eating, and half of it is useless. I have no choice but to train another dog that is better at hunting, although..."

"It may be no more loyal than that lazy dog."

Liu Jin gritted his teeth and wanted to persuade him again, but seeing his master's gloomy expression, he had to grit his teeth and said: "I almost made a big mistake today. Your Majesty has made such a decision, and I dare not object, but..."

"Your Majesty, to whom do you intend to give this token? Directly to Jiang Wunian?"

"Do not."

Emperor Xia shook his head, his eyes were mysterious: "Jiang Wunian voluntarily took the poison, and he won't live for many years. I will give this token to another rising star!"

"Who!? Who can make His Majesty so favored?"

Liu Jin's voice was trembling.

"You should have heard of this man's name at today's court meeting." Emperor Xia said with a gloomy face.

"Could it be..."

Liu Jin frowned, "The famous man around Lady Wan, the young eunuch from the West Factory who saved the Fourth Princess from the assassins of the Youluo Cult a few days ago, Yu Huaian?"

"That's him."

Emperor Xia's eyes were cold and sharp: "This boy is young and handsome, eloquent, and has good skills. Most importantly, he is very good at serving my Imperial Concubine."

"He can serve my woman and risk his life to save my daughter. Isn't such a capable servant worthy of this reward?"

"In addition, you also know that for the upcoming Moon Festival, I must please the Imperial Concubine and ask her to help invite the Duke of Liang to complete the feat of "slaying the dragon and enshrining the gods", otherwise..."

"I can't sit still for a day on this throne. You should understand how I feel, right?"

"I naturally understand your majesty's painstaking efforts."

Liu Jin bowed his head and said yes, muttering with emotion: "Ah, if Concubine Wan can really invite Duke Liang, then the servant of the West Factory, no matter how much reward His Majesty gives him, I will never be jealous!"

Mentioning this heavy topic.

The master and servant fell into silence.

After a long time.

Above the dragon table, a hoarse sigh came:

"Ajin, my life has been like walking on thin ice. Do you think... can I make it to the other side?"

"Yes! I definitely can! I am willing to risk my life to escort Your Majesty to the other side!"

Liu Jin gritted his teeth.

"Okay, Ajin, you can leave now."

"I am reviewing the memorials and will be going to see Queen Wan later."
