Chapter 455: He Has Come To Propose 10

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“This servant views both you and the Head Grand Secretariat as Northern Liang’s… powerful ministers.” Zhu Shen was initially going to say ‘important ministers’—but after a moment of thought, decided to use the more accurate phrase, ‘powerful ministers’. “You hold power over life and death second only to the emperor. That is something most people can only dream of, yet the Head Grand Secretariat couldn’t care less about it and plans to resign. From the perspective of an ordinary person such as me, there are two possibilities. One, it could be that he has more important things at hand than being a Head Grand Secretariat. If not that, it is possible that he’s just tired of being a powerful minister…”

Li Ruoxuan chewed on those words. “Is there anyone who could get tired of holding power?”

“The Head Grand Secretariat doesn’t seem like someone greedy for power…” Zhu Shen muttered.

“So, am I greedy for power?” Li Ruoxuan cast a sideways glance at Zhu Shen.

Zhu Shen responded immediately, “That’s not what this servant said, but…”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Ruoxuan.

“If I’m the kind of person who likes to take things fast and enjoy the thrill of watching others fall from heaven to hell in an instant, then Jiang Yeqian is the kind of person who likes to take things slow. He enjoys the painful struggle of a person falling from heaven to hell. In all honesty, I think he’s more shameless than I am, and it’s only our methods that differ. So, I find it hard to believe that he’s someone who doesn’t enjoy power.”

Zhu Shen thought about what his master had said.

Li Ruoxuan said playfully, “Zhu Shen, anyone who climbs their way up to the position of a powerful minister enjoys the feeling of holding power more than you’d imagine.”

“...” Then, why would the Head Grand Secretariat want to resign? Zhu Shen too was confused.

Li Ruoxuan said, “If it’s not the second possibility you mentioned, then it must be the first.”

Zhu Shen was doubtful. “Does the Head Grand Secretariat have something more important than being the Head Grand Secretariat?”

Li Ruoxuan stroked his chin. He looked at the rain and sighed slowly. “But what could be more interesting and worthwhile than being a Head Grand Secretariat?”

Zhu Shen, “...” Were there any more powerful positions in the world other than being a Head Grand Secretariat? Other than being the emperor, that is, but Zhu Shen did not dare say that.

Li Ruoxuan let out a sigh—he could not figure it out. He rubbed his temples and said, “Maybe the answers will show after he resigns.”

“Your Excellency, this servant doesn’t believe that the emperor will let the Head Grand Secretariat resign so easily,” Zhu Shen said with apprehension.

Unexpectedly, Li Ruoxuan nodded. “I agree.”

“??” ‘If you agree, then why do you believe that the Head Grand Secretariat would resign?’ After all, Zhu Shen knew that the empress had?high regard for his Excellency. However, there remained some inexplicability in the empress’s high regard for him.

At this time, Zhu Shen was unsure that if he was to mention that the only position in the world more powerful than the Head Grand Secretariat would be the emperor, whether it would help Li Ruoxuan have a clearer guess about Jiang Yeqian’s future.

Was there really no position more interesting in this world than being the Head Grand Secretariat?

If there was, it would have to be at the ghost organization.

Unfortunately, there were no ‘ifs’.

Hence, this led Li Ruoxuan to have a very different take on the possible reason behind Jiang Yeqian’s resignation.

The Qi Residence.

Qi Qingyao had instructed Dabao to take the Pill of Omnipotence, but he said he did not have the heart to do it. He wanted to stash it first, then eat it later.

Qi Qingyao, being a woman of action, was impatient.

“What if it were to get stolen and eaten by someone else if you don’t take it now? That pill is worth five million taels! Oh, sweetie. Don’t be so troublesome!”

When Dabao heard that, he immediately grabbed the pill and threw it into his mouth.

Due to his hastiness, he did not chew the pill before swallowing it.

Qi Qingyao asked, “How does it taste?”

Dabao smacked his lips. “I swallowed it before I could taste it.”

Qi Qingyao, “???”

He gobbled the pill up without even tasting it, just like how Zhu Bajie had devoured the Ginseng fruit!
