Chapter 624_1

"Emperor, take care of your dragon body, and don't let anger harm your health," Li Sheng, the butler, seeing Huangfu Jing so agitated, hurriedly advised, his heart secretly mourning for Empress Ceng's wife. The Emperor had always held prejudice against Empress Ceng's wife, and restrained himself from acting upon it; however, with Ceng Lu's incident now, even if the Emperor did not deal with Empress Ceng's wife at present, her fate would surely not be good.

"Enough, there is no need to advise me. If I could be so easily angered, I would have died of rage long ago. Leave now, and today's matter must not be mentioned to anyone, especially not a word in front of Empress Ceng," Huangfu Jing ordered coldly. With internal and external troubles besetting the court, he did not plan to move against Empress Ceng for the time being. Since she was a piece on the chessboard, she should be utilized to her full potential; casting her aside now would be a pity.
