Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Don't be fooled by how Celestial Master Zhang appears to be a good guy on the surface; in reality, he is a treacherous villain. Every time he is not around, he badmouths him in front of The Emperor, thinking he doesn't know about it. It's ridiculous; doesn't he realize that there's no secret that can remain hidden forever? Moreover, Eunuch Li by The Emperor's side is his man.

Zhang Celestial Master also looks down on his Gu technique. No matter what, he has won The Emperor's favor through real skills, unlike him, who relies on some uncontrollable divination techniques to deceive The Emperor and obtain high positions, clearly an itinerant world swindler. Sooner or later, his deception will be exposed, and we'll see what he's proud of.

"Brother Zhao, we both provide strategies for The Emperor, how could you talk about me like this? Besides, there is indeed the matter of the Thousand Year Striped Tiger. I saw it not long ago and reported it to The Emperor. If you don't believe me, you can ask The Emperor."

Zhang Celestial Master, being clever, decided to bring The Emperor into the conversation to avoid direct conflict with Zhao Yin.

Seeing his two confidants bicker, The Emperor also felt troubled. Both are indispensable assistants; losing either would be detrimental to him now.

The Emperor's expression turned stern: "Both of you, stop arguing. I have called you here today to discuss the matter concerning the War Prince."

Seeing The Emperor's displeasure, the two immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word.

The Emperor sighed and said to Zhang Celestial Master, "You must expedite the matter of the Thousand-Year Divine Tiger, and don't neglect the War Prince's situation either. Both of you are my confidants; if the War Prince seizes the kingdom, have you considered your fate?"

Zhang Celestial Master: "Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will spare no effort to assist The Emperor in eliminating these rivals."

The Emperor nodded with satisfaction: "Very well."

The arch-enemies both pledged loyalty, Zhao Yin naturally did not fall behind: "Your Majesty, my Gu poison has been refined to perfection. Even if we deal with the War Prince in the future, it is also applicable to other traitorous ministers in the court, helping Your Majesty stabilize the heavens."

"Ahahaha! Good!"

The Emperor, who was initially clouded with gloom, suddenly laughed heartily upon hearing this: "With you two ministers assisting me, why should I worry about unrest in the realm? What do traitorous ministers and thieves count for?"

Celestial Master Zhang and Zhao Yin exchanged a glance and promptly said, "The Emperor speaks truly."

The Emperor: "Now, let's begin discussing the matter of the War Prince, this treacherous minister."

Zhang Celestial Master: "Your Majesty, the Prince is currently seriously ill. Wouldn't it be better to have the Imperial Physicians intervene?"

The Emperor: "You mean poison?"

"Indeed."

"More than a hundred types of slow-acting poison have been administered; could it be that the War Prince is too robust physically? Over the years, he's remained unscathed." Upon mentioning this, The Emperor displayed a bitter expression.

That accursed War Prince seems to be like a nine-lived cat; no matter how we try, we can't kill him.

Celestial Master Zhang showed a puzzled look: "Your Majesty, have you seen him consume it with your own eyes?"

"Yes, absolutely, some poisons were administered in the Imperial Palace, and I watched him consume them myself, yet he remains unharmed, still living well to this day."

Zhang Celestial Master muttered to himself, "This shouldn't be! Could it be that the Prince's inner strength is so formidable that he subconsciously expels the poison?"

Zhao Yin sneered coldly, arrogantly saying, "My Gu poison is unmatched; no matter how deep his martial power is, in my hands, it's a dead end."

The Emperor was overjoyed upon hearing this, clapped his hands: "Good, Beloved Minister Zhao, serve me well, and I will not mistreat you."
