Chapter 450 Norio (43)
Consort Xu, no, she should now be called the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace, has never seen the new emperor.
He even slapped a palace maid when he heard her talking about the new emperor.
After being turned away several times, Li Tian'ao went to sit with the Empress Dowager of the West Palace. The Empress Dowager of the East Palace was so angry that she smashed many cups, but Li Tian'ao still did not appear.
It's unclear when exactly, but rumors started circulating in Beijing that Li Tian'ao wasn't participating in the talent show because of the new national advisor, Xiong Bufan.
When Xiong Bufan went out to buy food, some people who recognized her whispered behind her back, attacking her appearance and physique.
Those things that weren't heard at the time are collectively referred to as "not said".
But there were always a few daughters from families with high-ranking officials who started to provoke Xiong Bufan.
Xu Yao was one of them. She kept arranging for her servants to inquire about Xiong Bufan's whereabouts, not for any other reason than to mock Xiong Bufan.
The emperor cousin is hers, and even the Grand Preceptor cannot take him away.
Xiong Bufan was still buying food on the street when a fierce-looking young lady approached from the opposite direction, followed by a bunch of thugs.
Xu Yao: "You are the Imperial Advisor Xiong Bufan?"
"ill."
Xiong Bufan only cared about food and couldn't be bothered to argue with this person.
Seeing Xiong Bufan scolding her, Xu Yao didn't dare to hit him, but she overturned the stall and said, "Stop eating, I'm talking to you."
Looking at the pastries scattered all over the ground, Xiong Bufan felt his fist harden. "Pay up."
Seeing Xiong Bufan's appearance, Xu Yao was still a little scared, but she stubbornly said, "I will pay for this. I advise you to stay away from my cousin the emperor, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Xiong Bufan slapped her across the face. Wasn't the angle at which she turned her neck just so that Xiong Bufan could hit her more easily?
Xu Yao covered her face, "You dare hit me? Do you know who I am?"
Xiong Bufan slapped him again, this time with even more force. This guy is just crazy.
Xu Yao fell to the ground, realizing that Xiong Bufan was very fierce. Her maid helped her up, asking, "Miss, are you alright?"
"Xiong Bufan, you just wait!" With that, Xu Yao turned to leave in a huff.
Xiong Bufan grabbed her hair and said, "Give me the money. You haven't given me the money yet."
Xu Yao was pulled backward, screaming as she did so. Her maid, Xiao Cui, quickly took out a money bag and gave it to Xiong Bufan, saying, "Let go of my young lady."
"it is good."
Xu Yao and her group fled in panic. Xiong Bufan held the silver in a daze, still not understanding what was so good about that stupid Li Tian'ao.
Kongkong: "Bufan, I have a good mission. Do you want to do it?"
There, food and drink are plentiful, there's no need to socialize, and gold and silver are everywhere.
Upon hearing the news of gold and silver everywhere, Xiong Bufan shamelessly became tempted. "Where is it? I'm going there."
"It's another world, perfect for you."
The mission seemed good. Kongkong thought that as long as he could avoid everyone, Xiong Bufan could calm down and focus on his cultivation, allowing him to consolidate what he had learned.
But the world has just turned around, and Xiong Bufan is about to live a good life. It would be a little hard to leave him suddenly.
Xiong Bufan: "Could you ask that world to wait a bit? I'll be done with this soon."
Kongkong waved its claws and sent a message to the Heavenly Dao of that small world, replying in a moment: "Okay, but hurry up, or I'm afraid it will be too late."
"Uh-huh."
Xiong Bufan did not linger on the street, but flew directly to the palace.
Li Tian'ao had just finished the morning court session and hadn't even had time to take off his dragon robe when he saw Xiong Bufan approaching. He said happily, "Bufan, you're here."
Xiong Bufan: "Long Aotian, do I look like a god to you?"
“Extraordinary, you are a god.”
Having received a satisfactory reply, Xiong Bufan turned and left the palace.
Li Tian'ao stretched out his hand, opening his mouth several times but no sound came out. He had heard the rumors in the capital and wanted to know what Xiong Bufan was thinking.
While Fahe was still playing chess with the Emperor Emeritus, Xiong Bufan suddenly appeared beside the chessboard and said to Fahe, "Yin Yang Head, do you still have any silver hidden away?"
Another person came asking for money. Fahe bent down and pried off a piece of silver from the sole of his shoe. "Take it and go play somewhere else."
Xiong Bufan took the silver and kicked Fahe aside, saying, "You're filthy. No wonder the silver doesn't like you."
He was beaten even after giving the silver. Fahe said, "If you don't want it, you can give me the silver."
"dream."
The retired emperor went over and helped Fahe up, saying, "Don't always hit him."
"none of your business."
Xiong Bufan stretched out his hand, and the two thought he wanted money again. But the Emperor Emeritus reached into his belt and found a gold ingot.
As a result, Xiong Bufan produced a red fruit in his hand and then placed it on the chessboard.
"I'm leaving, don't miss me." After saying that, Xiong Bufan lay down straight.
"Where are you going?"
Fahe ran over and hugged empty air; Xiong Bufan lay stiffly on the ground.
The emperor stuffed the red fruit into his bosom, then hysterically shouted, "Someone, summon the imperial physician!"
Fa He gently checked Xiong Bufan's breathing; he was no longer breathing. This man had actually stopped breathing.
"Xiong Bufan, get up quickly! I still have silver, lots of silver..."
There was only endless silence in response to Fahe; Xiong Bufan remained lying there like a small mountain.
The imperial physician acted quickly, taking Xiong Bufan's pulse. This Grand Preceptor had always been healthy; it was unclear what had gone wrong.
This pulse check revealed that there was no pulse at all.
Several imperial physicians came afterward, and all came to the same conclusion.
When the Emperor Emeritus saw that Xiong Bufan was dead, he breathed a sigh of relief. At least there was no sword hanging over his head anymore, and he no longer had to worry about having his treasure stolen the next day.
Fahe preferred to believe that Xiong Bufan had returned to heaven after completing his mission, rather than that he had died.
The time of the gods is always very precious.
Li Tian'ao was the one least willing to believe that Xiong Bufan had left; he was the emperor, and he possessed all the wealth in the world.
Given Xiong Bufan's greedy nature, she should have stayed and tried every means to make money, instead of leaving quietly without even saying goodbye.
He had known Xiong Bufan the longest, so why didn't he leave him a single word?
This is unfair.
The day after Xu Yao returned, she heard the news of Xiong Bufan's death. She was overjoyed, thinking it was retribution for beating her.
Heaven has eyes; it took that fat and ugly old woman away, and now no one will compete with her for my cousin the emperor anymore.
But before they could enjoy their joy for long, the mansion was surrounded by the Imperial Guards, accused of harming the Imperial Preceptor Xiong Bufan.
Xu Yao couldn't say anything except that she felt wronged; she had clearly only threatened the person, and she herself had been beaten up.
Why should she be dragged down with Xiong Bufan just because he died?
The furious Li Tian'ao ignored what Xu Yao was saying. If it weren't for this woman, Xiong Bufan might not have left so easily.
This could be considered misplaced anger, but Li Tian'ao is the emperor, and whatever he says goes.
