Chapter 81: The Lazy Gets Rewarded (2)
“How did you do it?”
“What?”
The eyes of the melting pot were burning.
“Your Majesty… no, I guess you can’t call me that anymore. The Emperor’s body is incurable. No doctor can cure his body.”
“Yes. And you even threw some tricks at it.”
Nokki's face hardened.
“I’m not feeling well, but it shouldn’t have gotten this bad. But you’ve managed to maintain it to the point where you can do it every day. I’d like to ask you this, how did you do it?”
“Do you think I understand if a guy like you explains it?”
“Hahahaha!”
Wi Yeon-ho laughed loudly and nodded.
“That’s true.”
“What if I admit it! Inma!”
“What can I do if that is the truth?”
Although Wi Jeong-han was furious, Wi Yeon-ho readily admitted it.
It was clearly meant to be provocative, but what could be done if it was true? Even if Nokki had explained it very kindly, it was obvious that Wei Yanho would not understand at all.
“And, well, it’s not that important. Anyway, what’s important is that something was done to His Majesty’s body, and I took care of it.”
“What kind of witchcraft have you committed!”
"yes?"
“It’s impossible. It’s impossible. It’s impossible even if you bring in the best doctor in the world. And you solved it? I can’t believe it!”
The melting reaction was natural.
All his schemes started from the fact that the Emperor was not feeling well. If the Emperor had not gotten better, no matter what Wei Yanhu said, the Emperor would not have taken Wei Yanhu's side.
That is why he paid such attention to the Emperor's body, which could be said to be the premise of all things. He investigated and confirmed every possible possibility that could occur, believing that if the Emperor were to recover even by one in a thousand, one in ten thousand, all his plans would fall apart.
He called all the doctors in the Central Plains to diagnose the emperor's condition. However, they all shook their heads. If it was a blocked vein like the Nine Yin or Seven Yin, it could be cured with elixir, but in the case of the emperor, whose veins were all blocked, even if the Great Immortal came, he would be difficult to cure. Didn't he hear this answer over and over again?
However, it was difficult to accept from a common sense perspective that it was Wi Yeon-ho, who was not even a member of the National Assembly, who fixed it.
"to……."
Wi Yeon-ho scratched his head.
“There are such cases in the world.”
“……What are you talking about?”
“Listen.”
When Wei Yanhu made a gesture of covering his mouth with his finger, Nokki closed his mouth for a moment. The current situation is the situation, but if he doesn’t resolve this curiosity, he won’t be able to close his eyes even if he dies.
“There are things that you have no choice but to admit, even if you don’t want to admit it. Because it’s been done to you so much, you want to believe that whatever that person says is a lie, even if they say they make porridge with rice. But if you look closely, everything they say is true.”
“What are you talking about, you punk!”
“This is my master’s story. He told me that the smarter you are, and the more you believe you are smart, the less likely you are to accept things that are outside your common sense. Then, words like ‘witchcraft’ and ‘fraud’ come out. He said that if you go out into the world and hear those words about a dozen times, you will be worthy of being his disciple.”
Nokki's face became blank for a moment.
“Of course, our master is the kind of person who automatically lies whenever he opens his mouth, so I just let it go…… But now that I think about it, everything he says is true. And now, Wang Goja…… no, Nok Gong-gong is proving it again.”
Nokki's face was distorted.
“So, you’re saying that even if others can’t, you can, and I can’t accept that?”
“It would be nice if everyone in the world understood perfectly even if I spoke to them like a dog, like a king… no, a green gong.”
Wi Yeon-ho shrugged his shoulders.
But that face looked even more hateful to Nokki's eyes.
'What the hell is that guy talking about?'
He is a reckless and thoughtless man, one of the most thoughtless he has ever seen, but he gets his way in absurd ways.
At this very moment, Nokki realized that there really is such a thing as having good fortune on one's side.
“You ruined everything.”
“No.”
Wi Yeon-ho waved his finger.
“I am lazy.”
Wi Yeon-ho said with a sigh.
“That’s the world’s greatest slacker. Have you ever seen a slacker do something? If you had just left me alone, I would have just stayed in my room, met His Majesty, and gone home. From then on, whether things went according to Nok Gong-gong’s will or not was none of my concern. But Nok Gong-gong was the one who got me caught up in a conspiracy and accused me of treason. But if you blame me, I’d feel wronged. Don’t you think so?”
The moment it melted, I was speechless.
“The young boy’s mouth is…….”
“Yes, thank you. I think that’s my only good point.”
“…….”
Thinking that his blood pressure might rise and he might collapse, Nokki turned his head and looked at the emperor. Rather than talking to Wei Yanhu, it would be better to talk to the emperor.
“I am glad that things have gone as planned, Your Majesty.”
“Just as I wanted…….”
The emperor raised both arms to the left and right.
“Do you find it strange that Goga doesn’t do what you want? Nokki, you don’t think Goga is just a puppet that you can move around as you please, do you?”
“How could that be, Your Majesty?”
The green one ground his teeth.
“I know very well that you employed me because you thought it was for the sake of future generations. So now you are going to abandon me. You no longer have to worry about future generations. Isn’t that right?”
“You know very well.”
The Emperor did not deny it. Even though numerous grandees were watching. Having regained his health… no, having found it to the point of excessive health, there was nothing left for him to be concerned about.

“I know you worked for Go.”
“…….”
“Whether there was a conspiracy or another ulterior motive, I must admit that thanks to you, Gao was able to achieve what he wanted. However, Nokgi… should have done it moderately. If you had not tried to make the Emperor a puppet and monopolize the imperial family, if you had simply remained a powerful official, Gao would not have kicked you out. Greed is endless, and greed inevitably brings a price.”
The emperor laughed lightly.
Nokki tightly closed his eyes as he watched the Emperor radiating a spirit he had never seen before.
There is no such thing as a servant under a servant.
He is the son of the previous emperor who was like a tiger. And he is the younger brother of Yi Wang-ya who is more fearsome than a tiger. There is no way that such a person would be weak. If it weren't for his health problems that are currently occurring, he would have become a tyrant.
That hidden temperament is now beginning to emerge.
“……Your Majesty, what you said was not wrong. It was my fault for not having thought that this day would come.”
“You know very well.”
“Your Majesty.”
The green dragon raised its head. Its eyes glared at the emperor with the venom of a poisonous snake.
“Even a mouse will bite a cat when cornered. But did you think that Green Goat would just stick his neck out when he was cornered in this situation?”
The emperor flinched as he looked into the poisonous eyes of the green dragon.
The man before my eyes is my classmate, the eunuch. No matter how much he protected me, he was someone who manipulated the world as he pleased. The downfall of such a person could not be this easy.
“I know there is someone who moves you.”
For the first time, Nokki flinched at the emperor's words. Nokki, who never lost a shred of composure even when he was cornered,
“Yes. Your Majesty, of course you knew.”
“Then I have a question……”
The emperor's face was filled with majesty.
“Answer me. Is your master greater than the Emperor of the Great Ming? Is your master more fearsome than the Emperor? Is your master more worthy of the title of master than Gao?”
To all those questions, there was only one answer that Nokgi could give.
“Of course, Your Majesty.”
The emperor's eyes wavered.
“The emperor is the most noble person in the world. But doesn’t that title come from status? The emperor is the most noble person in the world, but conversely, he is just the luckiest person in the world. There is no need to be fierce, and there is no need to compete. In particular, Your Majesty ascended to the throne very comfortably thanks to Wang Ye’s concession.”
“Yes, you!”
“From my perspective, having crawled up from the bottom, Your Majesty is nothing more than a fool. I dare not compare him to you. He has achieved all of this solely through his own strength. He is incomparable to Your Majesty, who has seized the position of the most noble person in the world simply because he was born the son of the former emperor.”
“Do you dare to insult me?”
“I am not insulting you, but telling you the truth. How could I dare insult Your Majesty? However…….”
Nokki laughed bitterly.
“It’s not something I can tell a lie… I can’t do anything about this melting.”
“Yes, you!”
The emperor's face trembled. As his wrath filled the hall, the officials turned their faces and lowered their heads. They did not want to be noticed by the angry emperor.
“What are you guys doing! Kill that guy right now!”
"your majesty!"
Nokki stretched his back and shouted.
“Didn’t I tell you? From now on, I will bite Your Majesty. It is the worst possible situation, but I have only one way left to turn this situation around.”
The emperor stared at the melting pot without answering.
“Your Majesty is being humble. If it were said that the thugs from the world of martial arts committed treason, and when their true intentions were revealed, they killed Your Majesty and fled, no one would question it. Especially if that statement came from my mouth.”
“This… this wicked bastard!”
The emperor suppressed his anger for a moment.
It wasn't because I thought I had to keep calm. It was because I noticed that none of the ministers here were criticizing Nokki even though such outrageous words had been uttered.
Not everyone is following the melting pot.
I don't think he said that out of bluff because I know too well what kind of person Nokgi is. If they side with the Emperor here, their heads will be cut off when Nokgi's words come true.
That's why I'm keeping an eye out for it.
That fact instantly brought the Emperor back to the cold reality.
“Are you trying to kill Gore?”
“I didn’t think it would come to this. But Your Majesty, you should have thought about it. Why did I protect the Crown Prince? Don’t worry. Even if a tragedy were to occur here, all those involved will be exterminated, and Your Highness the Crown Prince will become a sage king.”
The emperor was about to say something in rebuttal, but Nokki cruelly raised his hand and silenced the emperor.
“The conversation ends here, Your Majesty. What are you doing? Subdue the rebels!”
"insect!"
At that moment, people dressed in black fell from the ceiling of the palace.
