Chapter 178: This Is A Disaster

The Princess of Xue scolded Qin He: "The Emperor has already announced it to the world; how could it be fake?"

"Isn't the Heir Apparent's Consort Qin Bi?" Qin He was unwilling, always feeling a sense of frustration: "Qin Bi is just a concubine-born daughter who just gained spiritual roots; how could she possibly capture a monster?"

The Princess of Xue took a sip of tea and lifted her eyelids: "You are also concubine-born. After you go out, don't always keep 'concubine-born' on your lips to belittle others; others can just as easily use your concubine-born status against you."

Qin He wanted to say that she was the main heroine, so how could she be the same as Qin Bi?

The words reached her lips, but Qin He couldn't spit them out.

At this time, in the Imperial Study of Great Yan, the Emperor of Great Yan had no heart for eating or drinking. The Emperor, who usually had good fortune, was restless for the first time. He called the Prime Minister and the Ministers of the Six Ministries to the palace, along with the Heir Apparent of He, one of the powerful officials.

He He Shizi Apparent of Rong didn't come; he was at home taking care of his children.

The Emperor of Great Yan had no choice regarding the Heir Apparent of Rong. Leaving his desk, the chubby Emperor paced: "My ministers, how could there be monsters in my Great Yan? Shouldn't there be monsters in Great Chu and Rongdi? My Great Yan has never had monsters!"

The Prime Minister frowned: "Minister of War, what was the monster rat's magic power like?"

The Minister of War said: "She didn't really have any magic power."

The Emperor of Great Yan immediately said: "Even without magic power, we cannot keep monsters and let them cause trouble."

No matter how he thought about it, the Emperor of Great Yan was uneasy. He immediately ordered: "Minister He, you must go to the Immortal Sect and ask them for guidance on how to deal with monsters. If there is one, there will be a second."

Minister He accepted the order and left. The Emperor of Great Yan continued to pace, then suddenly turned and asked the Minister of War: "How was that monster rat different from a human?"

The Minister of War thought for a moment and bowed: "Reporting to Your Majesty, she had a silver tongue and bewitched people's hearts. Whatever she said, you would subconsciously agree and stand on her side. Even people with cultivation seemed unable to defend against her."

"Oh my," the Emperor of Great Yan pounded his fist: "This is a disaster."

Monsters and humans, it's truly hard to tell the fake from the real!

Not being able to tell who is a monster is so distressing!

The monarch and ministers of Great Yan were worried. When the Emperor of Great Chu received the news, he was stunned at first, then burst into loud laughter, tears streaming down his face. He was simply overjoyed at their misfortune.

"A monster rat appeared in Great Yan?" The Emperor of Great Chu beamed, rubbing his hands: "Good, good! I've never liked that fatty; he eats well and sleeps well, what right does he have?!"

The Prime Minister of Great Chu was also happy: "I'm afraid the Great Yan Emperor's maxed-out fortune value can no longer suppress monsters."

The Emperor of Great Chu waved his hand: "Drive a few more big monsters to Great Yan."

The ministers bowed: "Your Majesty is wise."

On the Rongdi side, the Crown Prince of Rongdi was also overjoyed upon receiving the news.

"Good," the Crown Prince of Rongdi said: "Great Yan has finally produced a monster."

The Rongdi minister pondered, puzzled: "Has the Great Yan Emperor lost his fortune?"

"Hard to say," the Crown Prince of Rongdi couldn't figure out the situation.

The Crown Prince of Rongdi had known since he was a child that among all the countries, only Great Yan had no monsters. The Heavenly Dao was too bullying; it wasn't fair. Now it was good; Great Yan had monsters too, and the Crown Prince of Rongdi grinned.

The various Immortal Sects were also shocked by this. The Immortal Sects couldn't figure out why Great Yan had no monsters before, but now that monsters had suddenly appeared, the Mystic Masters and Art Masters of the Immortal Sects were shocked and busy calculating the heavenly secrets.

The people of Great Yan's capital, however, were talking about it with great interest. When they met, they had nothing else to say but to talk about monsters.

The various manors that had attended the flower-viewing party were also very lively, chatting endlessly: "You don't know, the people of the General of Suppressing Distance's manor were all blaming the General's wife. We onlookers also felt the General's wife was jealous and used her status as the legitimate wife to bully the concubine-wife. Who knew, when we turned around, oh my mother, the General of Suppressing Distance was holding a monster rat in his arms—a gray-haired monster rat, its eyes rolling around, looking treacherous at first glance."

Someone nearby listened nervously and asked: "Does it bite?"

"It bites."

"Was anyone hurt?"

"It became obedient after being hit with a shoe sole."

On the streets of the capital, everyone was discussing the monster rat.

While discussing, they would stare at this person and that person, scrutinizing whether they were monsters. It was no wonder the people of Great Yan were so paranoid; the concubine-wife of the General of Suppressing Distance didn't look like a monster either.

As it turned out, she was a monster.

The General of Suppressing Distance and his son went to the Duke Su Manor and were driven out.

He He Shizi Apparent of Rong sent Qin Bi and Rong Yang to sleep and walked around the room holding his restless youngest son. He had been reborn several times; Great Yan had never had monsters before. In the end, the General of Suppressing Distance favored his concubine and destroyed his wife, and after the General's wife died, the General became a first-rank official.

Later, later it was unspeakable; Great Yan was in chaos, and the little prince died to save him.

Could it be that Great Yan had always had monsters?

The summer was hot. He He Shizi Apparent of Rong signaled the servants to change a basin of ice. Holding his youngest son with one hand, he covered Qin Bi and his eldest son with a thin quilt. Whatever, he had a wife and children in this life; even if there were monsters, it had nothing to do with him.

He wouldn't be the Emperor in this life; if there were monsters, let the Great Yan Emperor worry about it.

Early the next morning, the streets were lively. Some people even ran outside the General of Suppressing Distance's manor to watch the excitement. Qin Lang and Rong Yan also went. The General of Suppressing Distance had an ugly expression and kept his doors closed.

Zhang Bing couldn't understand; Liang Yan was understanding, virtuous, and kind, so how could she be a monster?

The second young master was panicked and afraid: "Father, will the Ministry of War arrest me?"

"No," the General of Suppressing Distance said: "You are not a monster."

The second young master felt a little relieved. He didn't dare to go out and sat at home, restless.

The second young master went to find the General of Suppressing Distance again: "My mother is not a monster. It must be that Heir Apparent's Consort of Rong who used some monster magic to frame my mother. Father, we are the ones who know best whether my mother is a monster after all these years."

The General of Suppressing Distance thought this was also true, so he got up and went to the Ministry of War.

The Minister of War almost sprayed the General of Suppressing Distance out: "Framed? You still can't distinguish between a monster and a human? Zhang Bing, you are a second-rank military official; you simply cannot distinguish right from wrong."

The Minister of War went to the palace, and the Emperor of Great Yan ordered the General of Suppressing Distance to stay home and reflect on his mistakes.

Qin Lang ran to the Prince of Rong's manor in a hurry. He He Shizi Apparent of Rong was handling official business in the study while taking care of his children. Qin Bi was cooling off under a tree in the courtyard, and Rong Yang was flipping through memorials at a small desk.

"Sister." Qin Lang ran to the table, took a sip of tea, and babbled to Qin Bi about the General of Suppressing Distance's manor.

Afterward, Lady Jiang also came.

Hearing them talk about monsters, Lady Jiang listened carefully.

"What?" Lady Jiang couldn't believe what she was hearing: "What is wrong with this General of Suppressing Distance? Liang Yan has already revealed her true form; why is he still so obsessed? He actually thinks others framed Liang Yan."

"Exactly," Qin Lang turned to Qin Bi: "Is Zhang Bing's brain broken?"

Qin Bi was annoyed by the heat. She took some melon seeds and shared them with the two, saying indifferently: "It's not strange! You know monsters can bewitch people's hearts, right? This is the monster's ability."

Qin Lang pondered: "But Liang Yan has already revealed her true form; can she still bewitch people?"

Qin Bi reminded: "Don't forget Liang Yan still has a son." ===== CHAPTER 179 =====
