Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 326

Chapter 326: Do It Tonight
Xuan Ruiquan smiled at Duan Yixin and answered, “He has hated me since I joined the imperial court. After tonight’s imperial banquet, he will be unable to do anything to us. Don’t worry. You should just enjoy this banquet and leave the rest to me.”

Duan Yixin stared at him for a while and nodded.

Emperor Yong’an, who was standing not far away from them, glanced at Xie Yanghui and asked jokingly, “Shifu, when will you take Shi Mei back home? Or have you decided to let her stay with A Quan from now on?”

Xie Yanghui sighed and shook his head, “I don’t want to force her. She lost her mother when she was born, and we have just reunited. It’s good that she is willing to recognize me as her father. Even if she is unwilling to accept me, I will follow her wishes and protect her from the shadow. I owe her so much in this life, and I had let your Shimu down.”

Emperor Yong’an looked at Xie Yanghui’s white hair and sighed in his heart. His Shifu’s love was so extreme that he almost lost himself after learning of his wife’s death.

Emperor Yong’an then looked at Xuan Ruiquan and sighed again. He realized that the way Xuan Ruiquan looked at Duan Yixin was the same as the way Xie Yanghui looked at his wife many years ago. This may not be a good thing for a man who wields enormous power and whose decisions may affect countless lives.

After feeling depressed for a while, Emperor Yong’an smiled and said, “It’s still some time before the imperial banquet starts. Let’s have a light meal to cushion our stomachs.”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yuanbo asked, “Your Majesty, where do you want to have lunch?”

Emperor Yong’an thought for a while and said, “It’s lively here. Let’s eat in the pavilion.”

“Then Nucai will prepare the meal. Your Majesty, Xie Guogong, please wait a moment.” Qiu Yuanbo left after saying that.

After he left, Emperor Yong’an looked at Xie Yanghui and said, “Shifu, let’s go. I’ve been working all morning, and I’m so hungry. The pastries there are very suitable for snacks while we wait for the imperial chefs to prepare lunch.”

Xie Yanghui agreed, and not long after, Qiu Yuanbo came back with a group of eunuchs carrying dishes.

When they were eating lunch, Ye Tianchi was so angry that he felt full. After leaving the lake, Ye Tianchi did not return to his mansion. He has summoned his followers, and an emergency meeting is currently being held.

In one of the rooms, a group of ministers and generals sat quietly. Sitting on the main seat, Ye Tianchi looked at his followers. Seeing them were discussing in low voices, he said, “We will do it tonight.”

As soon as these words came out, Cai Guiqi’s heart sank. Yesterday, he handed over all the evidence of corruption by Ye Tianchi, Duan Qinwang, and Huang Tai Hou to Emperor Yong’an. Although he is not smart, he knows that Emperor Yong’an will not sit still and wait for death after getting the evidence.

After handing over the evidence, he wanted to escape with his family, but Xuan Ruiquan sent the soldiers of the Jin Yi Army to surround his mansion secretly. They were hiding in the dark, and Cai Guiqi knew that the chance of his escape was zero. Since he couldn’t escape, Cai Guiqi could only pretend to be stupid and attend today’s imperial banquet as if he had never betrayed Ye Tianchi and the others.

But when he witnessed the confrontation between Emperor Yong’an, Xie Yanghui, and Xuan Ruiquan against Ye Tianchi, Cai Guiqi was convinced that something big would happen tonight. Therefore, after hearing Ye Tianchi’s words just now, Cai Guiqi knew that he was doomed. He wiped the cold sweat from his face with his sleeve, trying to minimize his presence.

After a moment of silence, Ye Tianchi looked at the generals and asked, “How is the preparation going?”

The general responsible for mobilizing the soldiers replied, “Answering Ye Cheng Xiang. Everything is going according to the plan. Our people have surrounded the Qian Qing Palace and are just waiting for your order.”

Ye Tianchi nodded and asked, “Is there no news yet from Duan Qinwang, Huang Tai Hou, and Xiong Nu’s envoys?”

The general shook his head, “The security in Dali Si has been very high these days. It is difficult to send messages, and we have lost contact with Duan Qinwang. As for Huang Tai Hou, she is still unconscious, and her life or death is uncertain.”

Hearing this, Ye Tianchi clenched his teacup, “Damn it, Xuan Ruiquan! He always hinders my plans!”

After cursing Xuan Ruiquan, he looked at the general and asked, “Are you sure no one knows about our plan?”

The general raised three fingers and said, “This subordinate guarantees with my life that no one knows our plan.”

Looking at the general’s confident and serious expressions, Ye Tianchi felt relieved. He took a sip of tea and glanced at Cai Guiqi, “Cai Shangshu, have you transferred the money?”

Cai Guiqi almost fell off his seat when Ye Tianchi called his name. He steadied himself and wiped his sweat.

“Ye Cheng Xiang doesn’t need to worry. The silvers were transferred two days ago and will arrive in Liang Province in half a month.”

Ye Tianchi nodded with satisfaction and said, “Well done. When everything is over, I will reward you heavily.”

Cai Guiqi quickly stood up, clasped his hands, bowed to Ye Tianchi, and said, “Thank you, Ye Cheng Xiang, for the reward.”

Ye Tianchi waved his hand and sneered, “I can’t wait for the imperial banquet tonight. It is indeed time for the Xia Empire to change the ruler’s surname.”

When all the ministers and generals heard this, they were all excited.

A minister laughed and said, “Duan Qinwang is imprisoned in Dali Si. The life of Huang Tai Hou is difficult to save. Ye Cheng Xiang, you will be the one to sit on the dragon throne. This subordinate congratulates Ye Cheng Xiang in advance for achieving your goals.”
