Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 483 – It’s time for me to go back

The wind blew in from outside the hall, and the open windows swayed slightly. The faint smell of wood furniture in the room, which could not even be suppressed by the aroma of sandalwood, made him somewhat annoyed. The furniture had been in use for many, many years. In his identity, it was an incredible thing to do, but it was because he was him that he had to do it.

He was Chen Wunuo, the Holy Emperor of Da Xi.

Everything he did was an example, so even though the furniture in the room already had a faint decaying smell, he still couldn’t abandon it. He was perfect everywhere, and no one could question him.

Pure and honest?

Of course we have to start from the person at the very top. Although everyone knows that this is just an attitude, with the Emperor’s attitude, who would dare to live a luxurious life in sucigh-profile manner?

For some reason, he felt rather upset today. For the first time, he dropped his unfinished report on the table, then stood up and stretched. The scenery outside the window was just right, but he did not find it beautiful at all. He was tired of looking at it. It was an almost immutable beauty.

“Your majesty, Prince Su and the people from the Sanctuary have surrounded the people from the Ming Fa Si on Yonghua street.”

An old eunuch walked in quickly from outside with a solemn look on his face. The old eunuch was very old, so old that he could not find a centimeter of unwrinkled skin on his face. That wrinkled face was even more numerous than the gullies of the Northwest Loess Plateau. His body was no longer able to stand up straight. When he walked, his back was very straight.

His name was Wen En, a person who had already been a eunuch in the Imperial Palace for a whole one hundred and twenty years.

“Oh!”

Chen Wunuo only let out an indifferent “oh”, and did not say anything.

Wen En raised his head and looked at the face of the Sacred Emperor that he did not love, but he could not see any emotions from that face. Then, he suddenly understood. After all these years, when had he ever seen joy, anger, or sadness on His Majesty’s face? However, because he had never seen it before, he did not give up and looked again. After all, what happened today involved one of His Majesty’s sons, as well as the man who should have died but had not.

“Changot of tea for me.”

Chen Wunuo sat down and picked up the imperial report that he had thrown aside just a moment ago and wrote a few instructions on it with his pen. He frowned slightly. This was something that had not happened for a very, very long time. At his level and strength, there were very few people and things that could affect his state of mind.

He put the pen down again and stared at the imperial report in a daze. In fact, he did not even look at a single word on the imperial report. What he saw in his eyes seemed to be a completely different world.

Wen En tiptoed like an old cat, but still did not make a single sound. He changed a pot of tea for Chen Wunuo, and after waiting for a while, he poured a cup for Chen Wunuo. No one knew better than him when a pot of tea was the best to drink. At this time, he could not be mistaken. No one knew the taste of the Sacred Emperor better than him. The Sacred Emperor had even said that … There are a lot of things that we can reject, but we can’t reject this old thing Wen En.

Yes, this old thing was really useful.

Wen En stood by the side with his back arched. However, he did not think that it was that big of a deal. At his age, he no longer had any idea of what was beautiful or ugly.

“Your Majesty, is it...”

Wen En opened his mouth but he did not speak the rest of his words. He took a step back, raised his hand, and ruthlessly slapped himself twice.

Chen Wunuo was slightly taken aback, he turned his head and looked at him: “What are you doing?”

Wen En replied: “His Majesty said, eunuchs are not allowed to take matters into their own hands. This servant almost said something that I shouldn’t have said earlier.”

Chen Wunuo shook his head and laughed: “You have been cautious all your life, and that moment might have been when you had the most courage, but unfortunately, you once again forcefully suppressed it. If you really said something just now, I might have a whole new level of respect for you. ”

Wen En: “This servant is only this servant.”

Chen Wunuo acknowledged: “You understand this logic, so you have stayed by our side the longest.”

Just at this moment, someone said softly from outside, “Your Majesty, that person from Three Academies has come.”

Chen Wunuo lifted his head. There was some suspicion and then there was also sadness in his eyes. However, he didn’t say anything. Wen En turned around and left. Not long later, everyone around the hall was moved away, and in the huge hall, only Chen Wunuo and Wen En remained.

The third person quickly arrived and pushed open the door to the main hall with a creak. Then, he turned around and closed the door. Cen An’s footsteps were also light, but each step was firm. When she walked over, she did not bend, but remained straight as always. It was as if even the person who was sitting on the chair, the number one person in the world, didn’t have much of an impact on her. If it was anyone else who had entered this hall for the first time, they would have already been lying prostrate on the ground the moment they entered.

In the eyes of the commoners of the small countries controlled by the Great Xixi, the Sacred Emperor was a god. Just like how the people of the Buddhist Sect of the Western Regions would worship the Buddha. If these ordinary citizens had the chance to meet His Majesty Daxi Shenghuang, they would also prostrate themselves in worship.

“You haven’t been here in a long time.”

“Does Your Majesty wish me to come or not?”

“You’re still so direct and aggressive when you speak, you don’t leave anyone any face at all.”

“Because the Emperor didn’t give himself face either.”

The tit for tat.

Wen En secretly wiped the perspiration off his forehead, thinking that this was the only person in the world who dared to speak to the Holy Emperor like this. If it were anyone else, the emperor would have already been paralyzed with fear from the glare.

However, it was also strange that no matter what this grandma said in front of the Saint King, he wouldn’t get angry.

Sure enough, Chen Wunuo only laughed helplessly, and put down the brush in his hand: “You can’t leave some face for us if you’re still in front of the servants under us?”

“Then just let him out, I have something to say to you.”

“Oh …” Wen En, you may go. ”

Wen En thought to himself that this was the most miraculous thing that had happened, but he did not dare to show it as he quickly bowed his head and left. As they walked, they thought to themselves, this could also be considered as giving orders to the Saint King. Under the heavens, even the Divine Empress, a person that would make people feel fear at first glance, probably wouldn’t dare to speak to the Divine Emperor in such a manner. In front of the Sacred Emperor, everyone was a servant, but she wasn’t.

Wen En knew who she was, but not many people in the world knew that she was the Three Academies’s Principal. Fortunately, Wen En was one of them. That was why Wen En was so grateful at times, because his Majesty did not hide many of his secrets from him.

“Why did you come here?”

Chen Wunuo pointed to the chair in front of him.

Cen An didn’t sit, he only stood there with cold eyes looking at Chen Wunuo: “Do you really want to kill everyone?”

Chen Wunuo was slightly stunned, and then, shook his head: “I am Daxi Shenghuang, I said that there were some things I needed my son to do, so I had to give it to them. If I interfere with what they do, then it’s not fair to them. ”

“Then is it fair to the people of Ming Fa Si who have sacrificed half their lives for Da Xi?”

“Of course not.”

Chen Wunuo answered: “But they are not my sons.”

Cen An: “Even if your son did something wrong, you don’t care?”

Chen Wunuo: “The time has not come yet... You know, I’ve been sitting here too long. For my sons, it was a sad and terrible thing to do. They’ll never see hope, and I don’t want them to end up ruined by it. So they have to see some hope, so that their lives don’t end in a gray mess. ”

Cen An, “You sacrificed so many people, including the subordinates that were once the most important to you, just because of this?”

Chen Wunuo leaned back in the chair, allowing himself to feel slightly more comfortable. “You don’t know anything about Holy See, so it’s best if you take care of Three Academies. After all, that was the place where we first met. That was also the place where I cultivated together. ”

Everyone knew that His Majesty the Sacred Emperor would visit the Three Academies once a month to take a look at the future pillars of the Great Xias. So everyone used a lot of praise for him, because he valued the young so much. Just the thought of it alone was enough to cause every young man in the Da Xi family to be overwhelmed with emotions. But no one knew, that when Chen Wunuo was young, he had once cultivated in the Three Academies, so no one knew … Cen An was his Junior Sister.

Maybe only Cen An knew what he was thinking, the reason he went to Three Academies every month was not only to see the future pillars of power, but also to see her.

When he thought about how this man was good to him, Cen An’s heart softened a bit.

“I know you don’t want me to participate in the matters of the Holy See. You think that as long as I do participate, people will change. I’ll listen to you. I’ll do whatever you want me to do. I’ll always listen to you. Even if you say that we can only meet once a month, I will still listen to you and never complain about it. ”

Chen Wunuo’s expression changed, “It’s all because of you.”

“I’m not suffering.”

Cen An said: “All these years, I have never felt myself to be bitter. You are the Holy Emperor of the Great Xi Empire, and you have the time to accompany me for one day every month. I am already one of the happiest people in the world. I know very well that even your wife may not be able to see you once a month. So I’m content, and I won’t complain about it. I was just thinking, you don’t have to work that hard. ”

Her tone relaxed, “But, I can’t... You can’t just watch these youngsters become innocent victims just like that. ”

Chen Wunuo sat up straight, a sharp glint flashed past his eyes: “Is it because of those youngsters, or because of Fang Zheng?”

Cen An was stunned for a moment, “You... “What do you mean?”

Her expression suddenly changed and her body couldn’t help but tremble slightly. “Could it be that it was because of me that you got him killed?”

Chen Wunuo’s eyes became dazed for a moment, but he shook his head: “No, Fang Zheng is my most capable subordinate, and you are the woman I care about the most. I have suspected many people, but I have never doubted the loyalty you two have to me. He died because it was time for him to disappear. And you, you will never disappear. As long as I exist, you must exist to accompany me. ”

Cen An’s expression became a bit more relaxed: “Take it that I’m begging you, okay? As long as those young people were elsewhere, they would be useful to Da Xi. If you are worried, I don’t think they will work hard for Da Xi anymore. Can you give them to me? They were all sent to the academy to be guards. I’ll help you keep an eye on them and make sure they don’t cause trouble. ”

Chen Wunuo originally wanted to reject, but when he saw Cen An’s pair of eyes, his heart softened. This is the first time you’ve asked me to do something for someone else. ”

After he said that, he fell silent for a long while, then shook his head: “Forget it … I’ll listen to you. ”

He looked outside and pressed a bell on the table. A moment later, Wen En jogged in from the outside: “Your Majesty, what orders do you have?”

Chen Wunuo ordered a few sentences according to Cen An’s instructions, Wen En immediately turned and ran out, his speed was even faster than before.

“I’m going back.”

Cen An glanced at Chen Wunuo: “After all, my appearance here is not good for you.”

Chen Wunuo nodded, “That’s right, you should go back now... There are still a dozen more days until that day, but I am very happy, this month … I saw you twice. ”
