Chapter 455: Assassin (1)

Under the emperor's imperial decree, Zhou Jing became the registrar of the Imperial Astronomer Bureau, but he had yet to take office. He would only officially take office when he returned to the capital, so he was still quite free at the moment.

The Emperor went south for an autumn tour and only brought some close officials with him. This was unlike the capital, the center of power where the court officials gathered and the undercurrents surged, so Zhou Jing had yet to be involved in the true dispute in the royal court.

In the next few days, Zhou Jing frequently went to the palace and presented more Longevity Pills to the Emperor.

The Emperor praised the effect of the Longevity Pill and was not stingy with his rewards. He even brought him along to inspect the Son of Heaven's Temple that was being built. Everyone in Ning Tian Prefecture now knew that Perfected Master Windwalker was extremely favored.
