Chapter 1001: The Emperor is Here

The gift for Quuen Mother was decided but there was a problem with the chef.

Chen Xiaobei could cure the chubby royal chef, but the idiot's character was problematic; he had taken goodies from Li Xiang and then double-crossed him! He nearly had Li Xiang killed!

Chen Xiaobei wanted the chubby idiot to suffer, not cure him!

"Ah, forget it. Later, I'll ask Tanaka Tsuyoshi and Cang Jingu if they know any other reputable chefs."

Chen Xiaobei put this matter behind for the moment.

After a while, the ambulance rushed to the scene.

......

In the Imperial Household Agency hospital.

Only the members of the Imperial family could access this private hospital. No commoner was allowed to enter!

Nikkawa Okazaka was immediately sent to the operating room.

One by one, the members of the imperial family and the high-ranked officers rushed to the hospital.

The hospital was jam packed with luxury cars, even more extravagant than a motor show.

Nearly all of the people on the highest tier of Japan's pyramid had gathered here.

They were all whispering amongst themselves. Clearly, they were in no place to talk about a matter like this. Only those in the highest of the highest tier of the pyramid could decide what to do with this matter.

"They're here! The Emperor and the Prime Minister's cars are here!"

"Make way... Make way..."

There was racket as the sea of people parted, standing obsequiously on each side.

The emperor and prime minister were the highest power in Japan. However, the emperor was like the king during the old time. With the presence of the emperor, the power of the prime minister would be weakened. Now, his power was equivalent to Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Under normal circumstances, the prime minister would be in the eyes of the public, handling the daily affairs whereas the emperor who oversaw major political events would be behind the scenes.

Both men actually showed up today!

The impact of Chen Xiaobei's Nutbuster Kick was potent! One kick and the entire nation was shaken! How much cooler could it get?

"Make way! Make way..."

The first to get down the car was a man in his sixties. He was plain-faced with dyed black hair and was a little on the plump side. He was dressed in a suit and had on a pair of shiny shoes. One look and you can tell that he was a high-ranked officer of Japan.

"The prime minister of Japan, Yamaguchi Takaki."

Chen Xiaobei's eyes gleamed, immediately identifying the man's identity.

He had done some fact-finding beforehand and had seen his pictures. That was why he recognized him.

Ding!

[Cultivation: Garbage. Health: Crap. Combat power: 5!]

Chen Xiaobei had taken the opportunity to use his Netherspirit Battlescouter to spy on the Yamaguchi Takaki's cultivation.

"My guess is right! He's trash!"

Chen Xiaobei chuckled to himself; it was exactly as he had forecasted.

According to what he had read off the internet, this prime minister was a workaholic. He worked more than 12 hours every day. Without time to train himself, how could possibly have any cultivation?

"Your highness!"

Yamaguchi Takaki bowed and then walked to the other side of the car and opened the door.

Everyone, including Chen Xiaobei turned their attention to him.

The person who was about to get alight the car was Japan's Emperor, Nikkawa Uchu!

The article on the web said that this old emperor was already in his 70s and his health was in a critical condition. That was why, he was ready to renounce the throne right after the wedding of Nikkawa Okazaka so that his son could take over as Emperor!

Chen Xiaobei did not expect the old emperor to make an appearance.

Creak!

The car door was opened.

An elderly man with snow-white hair got off the car slowly.

Despite his old age, the old emperor Nikkawa Uchu had good Qi; in fact, he looked rather exuberant!

His health aside, his Qi, compared to the 60-year-old Yamaguchi Takaki was far better.

"Was the information on the internet false?"

Chen Xiaobei was perplexed.

By reason, which Emperor, in good health, would willingly give up the power and the throne?

That was especially true for Chinese emperors who desire longevity. Which, to put in plain words, meant that they were possessive of their power.

"Oh, right! Longevity!" Chen Xiaobei's eyes lit up. He had just figured out the reason for Nikkawa Uchu's abdication.

Ding

[Cultivation: Middle phase of Celestial cultivation. Health: 90,000. Combat power: 90,000!]

"What the... What the f*ck"!"

Chen Xiaobei jumped. The internet rumored that the emperor in critical condition but what they did not mention was that he had such powerful cultivation.

Not only was he healthy, he would have no problem living for another hundred over years!

Based on this reason alone, we can deduce that this old emperor had his heart set on cultivation. In order to become more powerful, he had actually decided to let go of the throne!

To assuage his people, he pretended to be very sick.

As the saying goes, you cannot have your cake and eat it.

Between power and strength, Nikkawa Uchu chose the latter.

Not only did he give up power, he also used the country's best resources on himself! He could not care less about his son; all he had in mind was to become more powerful!

That was why he was able to achieve today's cultivation.

Compared the likes of Cao Zhenyang and Zhuang Hao who wielded great power but were not willing to let go of their national affairs and family affairs. That was why they could never become truly powerful!

Chen Xiaobei could tell that this old emperor had a heart of stone!

He was willing to put everything down! How ruthless!

'Make way! Make way..."

Yamaguchi Takaki trotted ahead to clear the way like an old palace eunuch.

Nikkawa Uchu on the other hand, walked briskly toward the door of the operating room. He stood silently still with a blank expression on his face, keeping everyone guessing what was on his mind.

Even Chen Xiaobei dared not act rashly. He set his Qi aside and stood aside quietly.

Time passed slowly.

Finally, a doctor walked out of the operating room.

Nikkawa Uchu, who had been silent, finally opened his mouth and asked glumly, "Doctor, how is my son?"

The doctor swallowed hard before he stuttered, "The crown prince's condition is stable. He is not in any danger but his vital part is completely... Completely defunct... An ordinary medical procedure would not be able to do anything to salvage..."

But Nikkawa Uchu was completely uninterested in his son's injury. He merely asked, straight-faced, "Will he be able to attend his own wedding?"

"I'm afraid not..." The doctor said, "The part that was injured will require him to be bedridden for at least two months!"

Nikkawa Uchu's expression turned frosty. He swept his gaze across the room and said in a stern manner, "I want all of you to utilize your contacts to hire as many famous doctors as you can!"

"Famous doctor?"

Chen Xiaobei raised his brow, a plan brewing in his head.
