Chapter 634: Little Seven Was In Danger, He Was Framed!

He still did not feel contented even after he started taking the pills and gaining his power. His overambitious desire to be immortal eventually led him to fall for the plan.

A young maiden’s blood was the best for retaining longevity, but it could also lure one into the demonic path.

Every pill that the Emperor ate had blood in it.

Once the master had given his orders, the person would become one of their tools...

The night grew darker as silhouettes of trees swayed inside the palace’s inner court.

The Emperor was dressed in all gold as he sat in the darkest corner. His expression was not visible and only the bloodstain on his lips could be seen, making him look quite eerie.

From across the barrier screen, Eunuch Gao did not dare to raise his head to look. Trembling fearfully, he kept his head lowered. Even his fingers were shaking violently.

The Emperor glanced in his direction, his voice was cold when he spoke, “Did you see it?”

Eunuch Gao tensed up, his whole body was quivering as he responded loudly, “I did not see anything!”

The Emperor stared at him gravely and growled, “I like intelligent people the most. Since you didn’t see anything, go and get me a few more young palace maids!”

“But, but recently the.. the situation in the palace, Your Highness should be aware of it...” Eunuch Gao stuttered, pausing to swallow before he continued, “If this goes on, the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs would find out and it would be disastrous.”

Upon hearing this, the Emperor was suddenly enraged. He roared, “It was only a few palace maids that died, but the people at the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs just won’t stop looking into this. How dare they even want to launch an investigation!”

Truthfully, he was more scared than anyone that somebody would find out the details of the situation.

The royal family cannot worship the demon, it was a rule that their ancestors had passed down.

Although the Retired Emperor was not in the palace, his former subordinates still held partial military power.

He must not act rashly. If people were to find out that he drank human blood to become immortal...

Everything he had would all be taken away.

He could not lose the throne and even more so, the power in his hands.

He yearned for immortality so badly because he wished to sit on this dragon throne forever.

Even though he could dismiss the trusted followers of the Retired Emperor, the common people would never accept a person who ingested human blood as their Emperor.

Therefore, nobody knew about his secret.

He was about to complete the tactical formation to become immortal. All he needed was the blood of three more young and untainted palace maids.

He needed to think of a plan to silence the people from the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs.

The Emperor closed his eyes and was deep in thought when...

Suddenly, a noise sounded from the side of the barrier screen.

The Emperor immediately opened his eyes and looked towards the direction of the noise, yelling, “Who is it?”

The little one’s impatient body froze as he looked at the candlestick beneath his feet and closed his bright eyes. A menacing chill emerged from his head and swept across him.

He only paused for a split second before he came running in cheerful footsteps, still holding a pastry that he had gotten from outside. He took a bite and said in a frisky manner, “Father, it’s me! I was hungry and I couldn’t find anything to eat, so I came to find you.”

The Emperor gazed down at the little one standing near him. He shut his eyes for a moment as if he was confirming something and uttered “Come, come closer to me.”

The little one clenched his left hand, hidden underneath his long robes, while maintaining a bubbly facade.

Third Brother said it before.

No matter what kind of situation you encounter.

As long as you don’t show your true emotions to the other person...

The odds would be in your favor!

As he thought about it, the little one took another bite of the pastry and approached the Emperor in his usual manner.

One step, two steps, three steps later...

“That’s enough, you don’t have to come any closer.” The Emperor gave a warm smile and said, “Just stand there, I can see you clearly. Did you hear anything just now while you were standing outside?”

The little one knew that he was testing him. Third Brother had told him before that a great person should only fake 30 percent of his words, while maintaining 70 percent of truthfulness to convince other people.

It was a matter of how to put that 70 percent of truthfulness into words in order to dispel their suspicion.

“I did hear something.” Little Seven said while chewing a mouthful of pastry, both of his cheeks were puffy from being filled. He then continued in a coolly, “I’m not deaf, of course I can hear sounds. Were you talking to Eunuch Gao? What were you two discussing? Was it about tomorrow’s breakfast?”

Eunuch Gao let out a sigh of relief after he heard him.

He was worried that Little Seven would hear something at this critical moment and tell everybody.

Given the Emperor’s current position, Little Seven would be in mortal danger if he has really heard everything...

How fortunate! How fortunate!

Eunuch Gao calmed himself down.

On the other side, the Emperor laughed and replied, “Do you think that everyone only cared about eating, like you? Just go to the imperial kitchen if you are hungry, get them to cook you something delicious. I’m feeling tired, you should greet me good night and leave.”

“Yes! Can I take all the pastries outside?” The little one acted as greedy as usual.

The more he behaved like this, the happier the Emperor was. “Of course!” Everything was fine as long as he did not hear anything.

“Thank you, father.” The little one walked out energetically. When he extended his hand from his sleeve, it was itchy so he gave it a scratch.

The Emperor stared fixedly on Little Seven’s action as his gaze fell onto the back of his hand.

Little Seven had practiced martial arts since he was little, so he knew that the Emperor was staring at him like a snake staring at its prey. If the prey revealed its weak point, the snake would devour it whole!

The little one stood with his back facing the light and squinched his eyes as he gathered all the pastries on the table into his arms. He carried them and walked out of the royal chamber slowly and leisurely.

Seeing that the little one was gone, the Emperor’s expression darkened once more. “Send more people to guard the outside. From now on, no matter who, no one can come into my royal chamber as they please!”

“Yes.” Eunuch Gao shuddered, he clearly knew that the Emperor had a murderous intention.

The Emperor appeared as if he was thinking about other matters, before asking, “Did you see Little Seven’s hand?”

“Yes, I did.” Eunuch Gao answered respectfully, “Little Seven was still the same as the time when he was born. When there is too much aura of resentment and the weather is gloomy, his skin would become irritated. Apart from the time he had skin lesions at one year old, it’s been a long time since he has scratched from the itch. However, do not worry, I believe that he would recover in a few days.”

After hearing this, the Emperor slowly narrowed his eyes. Crimson red coursed through the veins in the corners of his eyes as he snarled, “Do you think that he heard what I said?”

The Emperor’s spoke slowly and every word was laced with an eerie sense of dreadfulness.

Eunuch Gao’s heart tightened as he stammered, “Prob... probably not.”

“Probably?” The Emperor turned his head over and looked at his reflection in the mirror. He could see his blood-stained lips under the bridge of his nose...

In that very second, the Emperor narrowed his eyes and growled sinisterly, “No, he heard all of it. He only pretended that he didn’t.”
