Chapter 3853: Meet the Patriarch (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Feng Wu reacted quickly.
She had planned for so long just to meet that legendary Patriarch.
She had thought that the Patriarch would come here to treat the king, but the old man was more respected than she had expected. He had asked the apoplexy-stricken king to go to him.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, Feng Wu wouldn’t be able to get in. She could only see the old man if she became someone close to the king.
Feng Wu had been lying in wait since the first time she met Princess Rao. No, she hadn’t started even before meeting the princess, but it was time to take action.
Soon, Feng Wu disguised herself as Little Zhao, and the real one was hidden away by the eldest prince’s men.
That was how convenient it was to have someone in court.
The eldest prince wasn’t included in the group that headed for the tower.
Thanks to Princess Rao’s subtle hints over the years, everyone had come to the conclusion that she was the closest to the Patriarch, who didn’t like the eldest prince at all.
In the end, the queen, Princess Rao, and a few eunuchs and maids went with the king.
Little Zhao, whom Feng Wu had impersonated, was among them.
Soon, they arrived at the tower.
The tower that wasn’t open to outsiders had countless seals, and ordinary people couldn’t get in. Right now, there was a giant eagle that was as tall as a grown man. It stood on its hind legs and stared coldly at the crowd.
The seals on the door had been lifted, but the eagle wasn’t happy to see so many people. It spoke in human language and sounded impatient. “No! There are too many people!”
The queen stepped out and smiled obsequiously. “We’ve left quite a few people behind so that we won’t disturb the Patriarch. How about…’
However, the eagle reprimanded her without hesitation. “Aren’t you going to disturb all these people?”
The queen blushed at the giant eagle’s reprimand, but she didn’t dare to retort.
Meanwhile, Feng Wu was talking to Little Phoenix.
“Is that that bird?” Feng Wu asked curiously.
However, Little Phoenix turned its head away and pretended that it didn’t hear her.
However, Feng Wu wasn’t going to let it go. She asked with a smile, “Is it the eagle that has stopped you from going in and fighting with you?” Little Phoenix looked embarra.s.sed and ignored Feng Wu.
Feng Wu was laughing inwardly.
By then, the eagle had finished scolding the queen and told them, “No more than three!”
Three? That included the king.
That was to say, apart from the king, only two people could go in.
Both the king and Princess Rao had to go in. As for the rest of the people…
Princess Rao smiled obsequiously. “Grandpa Eagle, when are we going to come out? Do we need to go into seclusion?”
The giant eagle didn’t like Princess Rao much and said coldly, “You’re coming out when the king recovers. Do you want to leave alone? Opening the seal is a big deal!”
Princess Rao was rendered speechless.
Feng Wu looked at Princess Rao in bewilderment. That didn’t sound right. According to Princess Rao, the Patriarch doted on her. Why would his eagle scold her? Moreover, it didn’t show her any respect and was only slightly better than when it spoke to the queen.
It didn’t take the princess long to make up her mind. She and the king would go in, and she would bring a maid with her. Of course, that was to take care of her father…
