Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 327

Chapter 327: The Lazy Bum Causes Trouble (2)

Do you know what the scariest thing in the world is?

When people cling to a false hope and fall into disgrace.

Do you know why people gamble? Everyone knows it’s hard to win, but they still gamble. Why?

Yes.

Just in case, they might win.

That’s what corrodes people.

We fell into that trap. We were all worried. When we were alone, we worried and said we should run away.

But we weren’t brave enough.

Just in case, Wei Yanho was returning without problems.

Just in case, Wei Yanho was sane.

Even in the imperial palace, he wouldn’t act normal.

Yes, right.

We should have known.

That it was a terribly foolish idea.

Terribly, terribly foolish.

***

What is the most important condition for paradise?

Delicious food?

Food that makes your eyes pop open with just one bite?

Or an incomparable beauty?

Others might say that, but Wei Yanho would scoff.

Wei Yanho knew.

The most important condition for paradise is peace of mind. Wei Yanho, who had eaten a lot of delicious food, knew that nothing made sense without peace of mind.

This place met at least the first condition of paradise.

“Haaam.”

Wei Yanho was very relaxed.

“How nice.”

The sunlight was perfect. Too much sunlight could be unpleasant, but the sunlight coming through the window was perfect.

‘And the wind is cool.’

A cool breeze was constantly coming in through the window. Wei Yanho took a deep breath.

‘Good design.’

He didn’t know if it was because of the design of the building or just luck, but this was the perfect place for a lazy bum.

Wei Yanho didn’t have to get out of bed.

‘When will they call me?’

Yi Wangya had said seven days, but he probably didn’t mean it seriously. But Wei Yanho had already been there for almost seven days.

‘I could stay a little longer…’

The imperial palace was really the imperial palace.

The bed was so comfortable that it was impossible to get up, and the blankets were so soft and warm that it was impossible to take them off.

Besides…

*Knock knock*.

Wei Yanho poked his head out when he heard a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

The door opened carefully, and the maids came in with a large tray and placed it on the floor.

“We have brought the food.”

“Thank you. You don’t need to bring so much food. It’s a hassle.”

“Please let me know if there is anything you need.”

“Eh, I have a question.”

“Tell me.”

Wei Yanho scratched his head uncomfortably:

“Is there a chamber pot here?”

“A chamber pot?”

“Yes. Yi Wang… no, the person who brought me here said I shouldn’t go out. If I could go out, I would ask, but they won’t let me out, so…”

The maids looked at each other:

“I’m sorry, we can’t put a chamber pot here. It’s the rule of the palace, so if you need one, use the bathroom outside.”

“Hmm, I understand.”

“Then…”

The maids left carefully. Wei Yanho was used to those looks.

‘It’s understandable.’

Those beautiful women worked hard, but Wei Yanho had been eating and sleeping for seven days.

It was understandable that they looked at him disapprovingly.

But if you can’t stand that, you’re not a man.

Wei Yanho understood with a big heart.

“But I have a problem…”

Wei Yanho was also human.

As a human, he had to go to the bathroom. Even warriors have limits. He could burn everything in his stomach using meditation, but it wasn’t a good idea.

‘It’s very exhausting.’

Even for a lazy bum like Wei Yanho, it was better to move than to do that.

The problem was that Wei Yanho had eaten too much for seven days, and he couldn’t eat any more.

‘If I had eaten less, I could have held out for ten days.’

How foolish is the human being. He should have eaten less, but he didn’t expect to stay so long.

“What do I do?”

Wei Yanho looked at the door and began to think:

“Should I go out?”

After seven days, Wei Yanho began to put on his shoes.

***

“What is he doing?”

Nokgi slammed the table.

“He hasn’t moved from the room.”

“How is that possible?! What did the maids say?”

“…They say they haven’t seen him get out of bed. When they bring the food, he is always in bed, and when they collect the dishes, the dishes are empty.”

“He was in bed then?”

“Yes.”

“Is someone hiding? Is he trying to hide someone?”

“We have considered that, but I don’t think so. If an expert wanted to hide someone, he wouldn’t use that method.”

“Yes, right.”

Nokgi gritted his teeth:

‘This guy is like a turtle!’

He is human. He is human!

How can he not leave the room for seven days?

“Are there any changes?”

“…Not yet.”

Nokgi shook his head in despair:

“I can’t stop him from seeing the emperor. Yi Wangya is pushing too hard. I can’t wait any longer.”

“There is no way.”

“Useless!”

Nokgi shouted:

“You must find a way! How can you be a eunuch of the East Palace if you just wait?”

“Just… wait a little longer.”

“Wait? What will happen?”

“Even though I am an expert, I must go to the bathroom. Since there is no chamber pot in the room, he will come out eventually.”

“Hahahaha.”

Nokgi laughed in frustration:

“I have to wait for him to go to the bathroom. Nokgi, how have I come to this?”

The eunuch did not dare to raise his head at Nokgi’s lament.

“What if we poison the food?”

“It’s impossible. The rumor that he defeated the Dark King has already spread. We cannot defeat him with poison.”

“Hmm…”

Nokgi rubbed his face:

‘How can someone like that exist?’

Even if it were the Supreme Sovereign, the leader of the Righteous Martial Alliance, he wouldn’t be so frustrated. At least, with the Supreme Sovereign he could try something. But Wei Yanho was uncontrollable.

Even with the blood decree, there is no way.

Even with the blood decree, it was impossible to infiltrate Wei Yanho’s residence, assassinate him, and escape without being discovered. Wei Yanho is already an expert that few can defeat.

‘Besides, it’s not the right method.’

It is foolish to fight someone who uses fighting as a weapon. Even if you win, you will suffer damage. If you can’t blame Yi Wangya, you will only suffer.

“I have reached my limit.”

He was trying to divert the emperor’s attention and using somewhat coercive methods to stop the meeting, but he no longer had any excuses.

Yi Wangya was doing everything possible to convince the emperor.

He was using the emperor’s distrust of Yi Wangya, but it was no longer enough.

“What should I do?”

Nokgi had already planned to use information from Dongchang to trap Wei Yanho. He had created a trap from which he could not escape.

But no matter how perfect the trap was, it would be useless if the target did not fall into it.

“I don’t know what Yi Wangya is planning, but Wei Yanho must not meet with the emperor. This is not just a matter of the imperial palace. Their meeting could ruin the plan we have been preparing for so long!”

He trembled at the thought that the plan might be ruined. Useless tools are discarded. Nokgi had to succeed to survive.

“Somehow! Find a way! Somehow!”

At that moment, someone shouted:

“Report!”

Nokgi’s eyes lit up when he heard the voice. Reports are made face to face. Guards shouldn’t do that, and a broken rule is not a rule.

But Nokgi waited without getting angry.

Everyone knew his temper. The fact that they reported that way meant that the situation was urgent.

“The target has left the room!”

“What?!”

Nokgi jumped up:

“Is it true?”

“The guards who were watching him chased him and reported.”

“Prepare! An opportunity has arisen! If we miss it, we will all suffer! Hurry!”

“Yes!”

The eunuchs ran out, and Nokgi prepared and ran out. As he headed into the depths of the imperial palace, Nokgi clenched his fists.

‘He has taken the bait.’

The big fish had finally taken the bait. Whether Nokgi could catch it or not depended on his ability.

“Kukukuk!”

Nokgi laughed sinisterly.

Wei Yanho’s only mistake was falling into the hands of the best fisherman in the imperial palace. Nokgi quickened his pace, thinking about how to catch him.
