: Alchemist Guild
Sima You Yue's mood was extremely good as she lay on the bench sunbathing. She had just given a batch of pills to Sima You Ming and the others. From his own mouth, she found out about the Nalan Clan's reaction. When they saw the men who had come to scout out the situation have such a surprised reaction they saw them take out a second batch of pills, she would feel all happy inside whenever she thought of what Nalan He and the others would look like.
"Young Master, it will be the Emperors birthday banquet in two days, will you be going?" Chun Jian asked after pouring her a cup of tea.
Sima You Yue took the cup. Thinking of how Fatty Qu had told her that many powers were going, she said, "Going. Why would I not be going. I still want to see how Nalan He looks like right now".
"Im just afraid that the Nalan Clan will come and pick a fight with Young Master." Chun Jian said.
"A piece of trash that lacks even the strength to truss a chicken; in front of such a large audience during such a public occasion, what can they do to me." Sima You Yue said, "Im afraid that the they will go and pick a fight with Grandfather."
This was the most important point within her considerations.
Right now, the battle between the two of them had entered the white-hot phase. She was afraid that Nalan He, in light of the fact that so many Alchemists had appeared, would not let go of this chance to find trouble.
"That Nalan Clan is a large family with great accomplishments; its just that they dont have an option of continuing things like this. Is there any way of directly killing them?" Sima You Yue looked at the tea leaves in her cup as she mulled it over.
"Young Master, no matter what, we cant directly kill those from the Nalan Clan." Chun Jian said as she heard Sima You Yue.
"Why?"
"Because the Emperor does not permit it." Chun Jian said, "General dominates the army, and even though the Nalan Clan is just another clan of people, they are still a power necessary to keep the equilibrium in the capital. The General's status made it so that he was only able to pressure the Nalan Clan but unable to wipe them out."
"Then who is capable of wiping them out?"
"The Emperor!" Chun Jian said, "And it is only him who has the capability to wipe out a clan as large as theirs. It has always been only him who has this kind of power."
"The Emperor?" Sima You Yue thought of what Sima Lie has said before and shook her head. That guy had even thought of using the Nalan Clan to weaken their Sima Clan, why would he even think of exterminating the Nalan Clan.
"This isn't a method either. As long as we manage to find a weak point, it will be good." Chun Jian said "I heard that the General has said before that the current Emperor is heavily suspicious. If we are able to make use of this point"
Sima You Yue's eyes flashed as she paused for a moment before standing up from her chair. She pinched Chun Jian's face as she said excitedly, "Chun Jian, you really are this Lord's Little Sack of Knowledge. I will go and look for Grandfather to discuss it with him."
After saying this, she rushed outside, leaving behind a stupefied Chun Jian.
"Young Master He really is completely different from how he used to be"
Two days later, the Emperor of the Dong Chen Country's 105th Birthday Banquet was held. The Imperial Family had thrown a huge feast for him with numerous guests. The First Prince and Third Prince took charge of it as all the first rate powers of the entire country were invited to the large banquet held in the Imperial Palace.
Since Sima Lie was the General, he was in charge of ascertaining the safety and orderliness of the banquet and had to go the Palace much earlier. It was only when evening came that Sima You Yue, Sima You Ming and the other two took a Beast-drawn carriage and headed to the Imperial Palace.
When the Beast Carriage arrived at the entrance of the Palace, they were pulled down by a group of people.
"What's wrong?" Sima You Ming opened the carriage door and asked.
SIma You Yue looked out the door and saw a group of soldiers standing in front of their Beast-drawn carriage, pulling them to a stop.
"So it was the First Prince." The Soldier who was taking lead of the other soldiers seemed to recognise Sima You Ming as he waved his hands, saying, "The First Prince has passed down orders that in order to show respect to the Emperor, everyone is not allowed to ride on Beast-drawn carriages tonight as they enter the Palace. So I invite this Lord and the other Lords to get down from the carriage and enter the palace on foot."
"Everyone else has to do this as well?" Sima You Qi asked.
"That's right. All the Beast-drawn Carriages have been parked at that area." The leader of the group point at the empty area at the side.
