Chapter 57 The Killing Intent of the King of Jiangnan
The wedding is over.
The next day.
News of the Divine Martial King's wedding spread throughout the entire capital.
Meanwhile, news from outside the palace gates was spreading like wildfire among the people.
It became the hottest topic in Beijing.
After regaining consciousness, the Empress Dowager fainted again upon learning of the incident.
However, this caused chaos and unrest throughout the Empress Dowager's palace.
All the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Academy were summoned to the Empress Dowager's palace.
This commotion lasted for several days before the Empress Dowager's condition stabilized, but she was noticeably more listless and lacked energy.
This incident has seriously damaged the foundation of the Empress Dowager's power.
After taking care of the Empress Dowager for a few days, the Prince of Jiangnan returned to his own palace and immediately closed the doors to all visitors.
As the Prince of Jiangnan and the Empress Dowager's own son, his residence should have been bustling with visitors during the year-end season.
However, because of the incident at the palace gate, no one came to visit the Prince of Jiangnan's residence.
The main reason is that no one wants to offend Qin Wu.
It is still unknown what the Divine Martial King's attitude is towards the King of Jiangnan.
If visiting the King of Jiangnan would attract the attention of the living Yama King Shenwu, then it would be a great loss.
After several days of no one coming to visit, the King of Jiangnan could no longer suppress his anger.
"That damned Qin Wu, it's all because of him that I'm in such an awkward situation now."
"I must avenge this grudge, and I will make him pay the price."
"The King of Jiangnan said angrily."
He hadn't been treated like this in a long time.
"Your Highness, please calm down. It is not the right time for us to take action against the Divine Martial King."
His advisors offered their advice.
Currently, the Eastern Qin Emperor has considerable influence over his nine princes, except for the Prince of Qi. The other eight princes are all quite powerful.
They could easily handle one or two people.
However, they were powerless to deal with all the princes, let alone the now powerful and influential Divine Martial King.
No one knows whether the Divine Martial King has any hidden forces.
But they were certain that the Divine Martial King was very powerful, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to produce so many betrothal gifts on the wedding day.
That was a total of 180 cartloads of betrothal gifts.
You can't afford to give that up without a certain amount of money.
"Isn't it just a Grandmaster? Grandmasters aren't gods. With proper planning, they can be killed just as easily."
"I am not willing to accept this," said the King of Jiangnan.
Indeed, with proper planning, a Grandmaster can be killed.
He also possesses the tools to kill Grandmasters.
However, killing a Grandmaster requires careful planning.
“Your Highness, I know you have that thing that can help kill a Grandmaster, but a Grandmaster is not a fool. It’s not that easy to make a Grandmaster take it.”
His advisors offered their advice.
The main problem is that they only have one chance. If they fail to kill Qin Wu, they will have to bear the wrath of a Grandmaster.
Especially now that their relationship with the Divine Martial King is so strained, it's simply impossible for them to drug him.
In the past few days, they have been investigating a lot of things about the Divine Martial Prince's Mansion.
They couldn't possibly plant anyone in the Divine Martial King's Palace.
The people in the Divine Martial King's Palace are all people trained by the Divine Martial King himself, and have followed him for many years.
They can only wait for the right opportunity.
"How long am I supposed to wait? That damned Qin Wu, I will tear him to pieces sooner or later."
The King of Jiangnan also regained consciousness.
However, he really couldn't swallow this insult.
"Your Highness, our actions this time have drawn the attention of the Divine Martial King. We must be careful in our future actions, lest our years of planning come to naught."
The staff reminded him again.
His current concern is that Qin Wu will keep a close eye on them.
Although they do many things discreetly, it doesn't mean there are no clues to be found.
If the Divine Martial King discovers anything, they'll be in big trouble.
At that time, they will be targeted by the Emperor of Dongqin and several princes at the same time.
Even the Empress Dowager couldn't protect them back then.
Unbeknownst to them, Qin Wu had already sent people to the fiefdom of the King of Jiangnan because of this incident.
"Yes, I know."
The King of Jiangnan has calmed down.
"Tell your subordinates to be careful lately, and not to give them any leverage when they go out."
The King of Jiangnan gave another explanation.
"Your Highness, rest assured, I have made all the arrangements."
"That's what the aide said."
"That's good."
The King of Jiangnan was finally relieved.
