Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 240

Chapter 240: Gossip Expert (3)
Hearing Xin Yuzheng’s words, Wan Sifan’s eyes flashed for a second. As the rumor goes, if someone wants information about everyone and everything in the Xia Empire, they should talk to Guan Zhiyao and Xin Yuzheng instead of buying information from Jiang Hu. It seems that this rumor is indeed true.

Wan Sifan sighed and said sadly, “Ben Wang has been bedridden since Ben Wang was a child and has been staying at home since then. Because of this, Ben Wang doesn’t know about many things or hot topics circulating outside now. Tonight is the most important annual imperial banquet of our empire, and Ben Wang worried that if anyone talks to me, they will leave disappointed because of my lack of knowledge.”

He paused, looked at Guan Zhiyao and Xin Yuzheng, and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Ben Wang wonder… can two Da Rens share some knowledge with me?”

Looking at his sad and depressed expression, Xin Yuzheng couldn’t help but feel pity for this Qinwang, who was born sickly. He smiled and asked kindly, “Wangye, how about we tell you about the hottest topic outside right now?”

The goal was achieved, and Wan Sifan nodded gratefully, “Ben Wang will be very happy to hear Xin Da Ren’s story.”

Seeing Wan Sifan’s pale face finally showing a glimmer of happiness, Guan Zhiyao and Xin Yuzheng smiled and began to tell him everything that had happened recently. When they arrived at the Qian Qing Palace, where the summer banquet would be held tonight, everything Wan Sifan wanted to know had been answered.

Guan Zhiyao saw that most of the people had arrived, and the main hall of Qian Qing Palace was crowded. He looked at Wan Sifan’s pale face and thin body and worried that he would faint before he reached his seat in the front area.

After thinking for a few seconds, Guan Zhiyao asked, “Wangye, how about we accompany you to your seat and continue our conversation?”

Wan Sifan looked at him and saw the worry in his clear eyes, then he looked at the main hall full of people and found out the reason for Guan Zhiyao’s worry. After more than twenty years, Wan Sifan smiled sincerely for the first time.

“Sure.”

Guan Zhiyao smiled, and the three of them walked toward the front area where the members of the imperial family and high-ranked officials were seated tonight. As Guan Zhiyao and Xin Yuzheng accompanied Wan Sifan to his seat, many ministers and generals greeted the three of them politely.

Although Guan Zhiyao and Xin Yuzheng only served in the imperial court as fourth-rank ministers, their connections are very wide because of their friendly and easy-going personalities. Because of the two old ministers, Wan Sifan finally experienced the feeling of being the center of attention and being surrounded by important people.

He looked at the two old ministers, and his heart moved. Wan Sifan smiled and lowered his head slightly as something flickered in his deep eyes.

When the three of them arrived at the front area, Wan Sifan asked, “Guan Da Ren, Xin Da Ren, how about sitting here together with Ben Wang?”

Guan Zhiyao shook his head and said, “Wangye, it’s not appropriate.”

Seeing that he could not let the two of them stay any longer, Wan Sifan smiled and said, “It’s a pity that you two can’t accompany Ben Wang, but Ben Wang enjoyed our conversation tonight. Let’s talk again next time.”

Xin Yuzheng smiled and nodded, “That’s for sure. We should meet and chat when Wangye has time.”

“Then it’s decided.” Wan Sifan said in a good mood.

Seeing that all the guests had arrived, Guan Zhiyao said, “Wangye, it’s time for us to go to our seats. Let’s meet again later.”

Wan Sifan nodded and said, “See you later, Guan Da Ren, Xin Da Ren.”

The two old ministers clasped their fists and said, “See you later, Wangye.”

When Guan Zhiyao and Xin Yuzheng walked to the middle area to find their seats, Wan Sifan’s smile disappeared instantly. He sat down in his seat and lowered his eyes. Cold aura was all over his body, making people afraid to approach him.

Xie Yanghui, sitting opposite Wan Sifan, witnessed all this. He touched his chin thoughtfully and looked at Wan Sifan for a long time. It wasn’t until Wan Sifan raised his eyes and smiled at him that Xie Yanghui looked away.

Seeing Xie Yanghui drink the wine calmly, Wan Sifan narrowed his eyes slightly and then lowered them again. In the bustling and joyful atmosphere of the main hall, Wan Sifan sat alone and felt bored. Not long after, Emperor Yong’an finally arrived.

“His Majesty has arrived! Huang Tai Hou has arrived!”

After hearing the announcement, everyone waiting in the hall returned to their seats. The moment Emperor Yong’an walked past the main entrance of Qian Qing Palace, everyone present knelt on the cold ground and kowtowed.

“Long live the Emperor for ten thousand years. Long live Huang Tai Hou for a thousand years.”

After Emperor Yong’an and Huang Tai Hou sat down on their throne on top of the long stairs, Emperor Yong’an waved his hand and said calmly, “You may rise.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

The guests thanked Emperor Yong’an and took their seats one after another. Seeing that Xie Yanghui and her son were sitting in the front tonight, Dai Qianyi smiled and looked at Xie Yanghui, “Unlike previous years, Ai Jia sees that Xie Guogong can come back to attend the summer banquet this year.”

Xie Yanghui stood up, clasped his fists, and said calmly, “Thanks to His Majesty’s blessing, Chen can attend tonight’s banquet.”

Hearing Xie Yanghui’s words, Dai Qianyi’s smile instantly stiffened.

She narrowed her eyes and thought, ‘Does he mean that he can come back alive because of His Majesty’s help? Does he know something?’

Dai Qianyi lowered her eyes and thought, ‘No. Xie Yanghui won’t be able to know. Everyone who knows has been dealt with, and Duan Qinwang is currently in the prison of Dali Si. Could it be… Duan Qinwang already confessed everything to them? Duan Qinwang is indeed a risky chess piece that cannot be kept anymore. He should be dealt with as soon as possible.’
