Waiting outside the door was an inconspicuous ordinary carriage, and it was at the small gate of the Ye family. Chu Qing wore a hood, and there were not many passers-by, so no one noticed that someone from the Ye family had left.
Along the way, Chu Qing thought about the emperor's purpose. Why did he summon him suddenly or secretly? Could it be that the emperor planned to attack in the palace
Impossible, the emperor should not be so stupid.
In this way, Chu Qing came to the palace.
In the palace, Chu Qing was taken directly to the imperial study, and the emperor was sitting on a chair, separated from him by a layer of yellow gauze curtain.
This made Chu Qing unable to see the emperor's face clearly, and at the same time, the emperor could not see Qing clearly.
Seeing that Chu Qing was being brought, the emperor waved his hand. When other palace people saw this, they bowed and left.
"Is this person Chu Qing?" the emperor asked.
Chu Qing stood and saluted the emperor: "Chu Qing, a common man, has met your majesty."
Although he talked about the common people, Chu Qing showed no respect at all, and even the salute was very perfunctory.
Seeing that Chu Qing did not kneel down, the emperor sitting behind the gauze curtain frowned slightly, but she was more worried about other things now and did not care about these false gifts: "I heard that you have a Nine Lives Gate in your hand?"
Chu Qing nodded: "Yes."
"I hope that you can take the initiative to hand over the Nine Lives Sect to the imperial family." The emperor said slowly, with an undeniable toughness in his tone.
But Chu Qing laughed when he heard this. Could it be that the members of the royal family got to the position by being thick-skinned
Now that Chu Qing is in his hometown, he doesn't dare to move, so he pretends to be confused and asks: "Your Majesty, why do you want the common people to hand over the Nine Lives Sect?"
A hint of impatience flashed in the emperor's eyes. When he thought that he would be able to get the organization later and get rid of the person in front of him, he suppressed the anger in his heart: "I have been feeling uneasy recently, fearing that someone He wants to murder me, so he wants to move the Nine Lives Sect to my side to protect me."
Before Chu Qing could say anything, the emperor slowly said: "Chu Qing, I hope you can contribute to my country."
Chu Qing sneered in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. He thought of Ye Chenxi's words, and like the emperor, he secretly suppressed the anger in his heart and said respectfully: "Yes. The common people will present the token of the Master of the Nine Lives Sect to him now." Your Majesty. The common people are willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty.
After saying that, he took out the Sect Master's Token. Chu Qing was more thoughtful and only took out half of the Sect Master's Token. Anyway, the emperor had never seen what the complete token looked like.
Sure enough, when the emperor saw the token, he lost his original reserve and came down directly to take the token from Chu Qing's hand.
Seeing that Chu Qing handed over the things very sensibly, the emperor smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, you are so knowledgeable. I am very happy, so I will stay and have a meal. Come."
An attendant pushed the door open and came in: "Your Majesty."
"Take Chu Qing to the side hall and prepare for dinner." The emperor said.
The attendant lowered his head: "Yes."
After saying that, he led Chu Qing away.
The emperor didn't know where he was looking, but he was stroking the Jiu Sheng Sect Master's token in his hand. The token still retained Chu Qing's body temperature, which made the emperor feel uneasy.
"Chu Qing..."
The emperor sighed softly, looking reluctant to give up on his face, but actually he had murderous intentions in his heart.
Since this Chu Qing no longer has the support of the Nine Lives Sect, he naturally has no use value.
Moreover, this person was extremely capable and was not a creature in the pool. Although he had only met a few times, the emperor could tell that Chu Qing was arrogant. If Chu Qing was spared, maybe this person would come to take revenge on him one day.
Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes showed murderous intent. It took him a long time before he put away the token of the master of the Nine Lives Sect.
