Chapter 2870: Tang Yuehua's Reminder_1
Upon hearing this sentence, Xue Ye's pupils contracted...
He silently thought, "Sure enough, Tang San must have told Tang Xuanzhu about the matter, or why would she suddenly enter the imperial palace today!"
"Next, she's most likely going to question why I did this!"
With this thought, his tone grew slightly colder, and he narrowed his eyes, saying, "Tang Xuanzhu, do you mean to suggest that Tang San's kidnapping near the Tiandou Empire Palace has something to do with me?"
Tang Yuehua shook her head, denying, "No, Your Majesty the Emperor, you misunderstand, that is not what I meant!"
"I merely think it's necessary to remind Your Majesty that since Tang San could be kidnapped near the Tiandou Empire Palace, it's very possible that the next victim could be a member of the royal household!"
"Thus, we need to strengthen the defensive measures around the palace!!"
Xue Ye was taken aback as this was completely different from what he had anticipated!
Furthermore, from the former's tone, it seemed that she was unaware of the identity of the mastermind behind Tang San's kidnapping!!
For a moment, he felt a sense of relief...
But he still put on a thoughtful expression, "Hmm... What Tang Xuanzhu says does make sense, If Tang San could be kidnapped near the palace, it indeed signifies that the defenses are clearly insufficient!!"
"Tomorrow, I shall dispatch soldiers from another region of the Sky Dou Empire to bolster our defenses!!"
He paused for a moment, then urgently added, "By the way, Tang Xuanzhu, is Tang San alright?"
Tang Yuehua nodded slightly, "Back to Your Majesty the Emperor, although it's unknown what happened after Tang San was kidnapped, he has now safely returned and is not in any serious trouble!"
Xue Ye then pursed his lips, "It's good that he is well. Should anything have truly occurred to Tang San near the palace, I, as the emperor, would bear some responsibility."
The light in Tang Yuehua's beautiful eyes flickered, "Your Majesty speaks too gravely, you have the weight of the empire on your shoulders, and naturally, you cannot be expected to attend to everything!"
After a few more casual exchanges, Xue Ye lost interest in the topic, "Tang Xuanzhu, is there anything else? If not, I shall convene the Daijin to discuss urgent matters!"
Tang Yuehua also heard what this implied...
Again she said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I have another question, it's about the Crown Prince. He hasn't been to Moon Pavilion to study lately, do you happen to know the reason?"
Usually, Qing He would study tea art with her!
But recently, he hadn't been visiting Moon Pavilion at all, which made her somewhat curious!
Xue Ye hesitated for a moment, "Qing He? Right, I don't think this has been mentioned to Tang Xuanzhu yet!"
"Actually, a short while ago, Qing He was accepted as a disciple by Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, and so, most of his time is spent studying at the sect!"
"This has led to him unavoidably neglecting his studies at Moon Pavilion, for which I ask for Tang Xuanzhu's understanding!!"
After hearing this, Tang Yuehua showed a look of sudden realization...
"I see, if it's Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect personally teaching him, then surely the Crown Prince will be able to learn more!"
"If that's the case, it's alright if his courses at Moon Pavilion are delayed!"
Xue Ye then showed a satisfied expression, "It is good that Tang Xuanzhu understands. In a while, I will make a visit to Moon Pavilion to see how Tang San is doing."
Tang Yuehua did not say more, bowing with a fist, "Then I will await Your Majesty's visit to Moon Pavilion, I take my leave!"
With that, she left the palace with a graceful gait...
...
Inside the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
Qin Ming looked at the two individuals before him, his pupils shrinking suddenly, and immediately said with a respectful tone, "Prince Xue Xing, Senior Douluo of Poison!"
Du Gu Bo's face remained expressionless as he gave a noncommittal "hmm"...
Xue Xing glanced at Qin Ming and said indifferently, "Teacher Qin, it seems that you have adapted to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Naturally, Qin Ming did not dare to deny it. "Yes, Prince Xue Xing, it is my honor to be a teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"
In fact, there were very few geniuses at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so few that they could be counted on the fingers of one hand!
However, this was to be expected since the academy existed primarily to admit noble scions!
Xue Xing withdrew his gaze and said with his hands behind his back, "If you encounter any difficulties at the academy, you can tell me at any time."
Qin Ming slightly bowed his head and said again, "Thank you, Prince Xue Xing!"
Seeing this, Xue Xing made a simple gesture and then turned to leave...
One would have thought Du Gu Bo would leave with him, but unexpectedly, he just stood there...
Qin Ming looked up, swallowed hard, and asked softly, "Um... Senior Douluo of Poison, is there anything else you need?"
Du Gu Bo said coldly, "You are the Teacher Qin that Yan Zi mentioned, right?"
Qin Ming felt a chill down his spine, "Yes, Senior Douluo of Poison, you can just call me Qin Ming!"
Du Gu Bo paid no heed to his comment and continued, "Yan Zi has given you a high evaluation for your teaching abilities, which even surprises me!"
One had to know that his granddaughter had changed over a dozen teachers at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, yet not one could satisfy her!
Except for Qin Ming!
Qin Ming chuckled and said, "Senior Douluo of Poison flatters me. It is Yan Zi's talent that is outstanding; as a teacher, I can only play a guiding role!"
Du Gu Bo's gaze deepened, "No need to be modest, I do not easily praise people!"
After a pause, he added, "By the way, what about that kid named Yu Tianheng? Yan Zi keeps talking about him in front of me, and I want to see for myself what this kid is really like!"
Anyone who could attract his granddaughter's attention definitely would not be ordinary!
Qin Ming's expression turned a bit unsightly, "This... Senior Douluo of Poison, the situation with Tian Heng is a bit abnormal, and I'm afraid he won't be able to see you!"
Du Gu Bo's expression suddenly turned much colder, "He can't see me? Is he dead or disabled??"
Qin Ming didn't know how to explain at the moment, so he could only respond, "It's neither, Tian Heng has suffered a severe psychological trauma!"
Du Gu Bo showed a disdainful look, "Hmph, since he's not dead or disabled, why can't he see me??"
"Take me to him!!"
It's just some psychological trauma, is that even a matter worth mentioning?
Qin Ming's brow furrowed, and he suddenly said, "Senior Douluo of Poison, I must remind you that Tian Heng is a member of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan and has attracted a great deal of attention!"
"Should anything happen, I am afraid it will not end well!"
Hearing this, Du Gu Bo's attitude underwent a subtle change...
"The... Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, eh... Not bad, not bad at all. What's going on with you, Teacher? I'm just going to take a look at the kid, I won't do anything to him!"
If he really did anything to him, Yan Zi would fight him to the death!
With the conversation having reached this point, Qin Ming found it difficult to refuse any further...
"In that case, please follow me, Senior Douluo of Poison. Yan Zi is likely to be there as well!"
