Chapter 1241: The News Brought by Li Heng!

"…Even now, I cannot conclude whether the Prime Minister was expressing his own will or His Majesty's will on that day," King Song muttered, then sighed.

Wang Chong was silent. If it were him, he would never be this confused, but King Song was clearly different. 'The bystander has a clear view while the participant is confused.' King Song was currently the 'confused participant'.

"After that day's incident, did Your Highness not go to the Imperial Palace to pay the Sage Emperor a visit?" Wang Chong asked.

King Song shook his head.

"I tried, but His Majesty refused me every time. His Majesty is no longer meeting anyone. In this more than half a month, you are the first person His Majesty has decided to have an audience with. I don't know if it was because of you, but today is the longest His Majesty has participated in a court session in this time period. We don't even know if His Majesty will attend tomorrow's court session or how long he will last!"

King Song's face was fraught with concern.

Wang Chong's heart also sank at these words, and he once more recalled that distant sound that seemed like a bell, a chime, and also none of these things. He had already heard this sound twice now, and each time, the Sage Emperor had hurriedly departed soon after.

Have things already reached that stage…

Wang Chong's heart hung heavy.

If this were anyone else, Wang Chong might have believed that someone was controlling their mind or there was some scheme afoot in the Imperial Palace. But this person was the Sage Emperor of the Great Tang, the supreme existence of the Central Plains, the lynchpin of the Divine Land. Even the most unyielding barbarian would adopt a respectful expression when discussing the Great Tang's Sage Emperor.

Wang Chong was confident that no one could control him. But…

Wang Chong glanced at King Song, hesitant.

Only someone who could look very far into the future would know what was happening. But at this moment, nobody except him, not even King Song, knew what was happening to the Sage Emperor.

No one could imagine the price that came from failing to break into the Divine Martial realm. Wang Chong didn't know what state the Sage Emperor's body was in, but his current state was clearly extremely dire. This was no longer a matter that concerned the Sage Emperor alone, but had major ramifications for all the people in the Central Plains.

It was precisely after the Sage Emperor passed that the Great Tang descended into a period of many troubles!

Wang Chong took in a deep breath, suppressed that worry in his heart, and continued. "And afterward? Your Highness should have gone to see Li Linfu. What did he say?"

"The Lord Prime Minister did not state anything directly, only said that he discussed matters in the court according to their own merits. However, in his words, he was constantly implying that this was His Majesty's will," King Song said.

The carriage was immediately plunged into silence as Wang Chong leaned against the compartment wall and frowned. Wang Chong had a rough grasp of King Song's mindset. The Sage Emperor was publicly acknowledged as a sovereign for the ages, and his ambition to expand the borders of the empire was even greater than King Song's. But this desire was in direct contradiction with what Li Linfu implied, stirring doubt in King Song's mind.
