The two sons of the Hu clan, Hu Tianqing's elder brother, had entered the Upper Realm's Celestial Gate since he was young. He, Hu Zhiwei, was naturally nurtured as the heir of the clan. Therefore, Hu Zhiwei did not stay in the Hu clan's headquarters at a very young age. Instead, he followed the merchant group from all over the country to train.    

This also caused Hu Zhiwei to actually not be very familiar with this Empress sister of his.    

The Empress slowly spoke: "Why are you in such a hurry to see Bengong, is there something you need?"    

Hu Zhiwei nodded, then said, "There is indeed something important that needs to be discussed with the Empress right away."    

The Empress's expression slightly changed, and she said slowly, "But what happened within the clan?"    

Regarding Hu Zhiwei's movements, she was still clear. Her younger brother had just arrived at White Emperor City with the merchant group yesterday, and he had come to see her in such a hurry today. Something big must have happened.    

"Sort of!" Hu Zhiwei nodded and said, "I wonder if the Empress has heard of Su Ming."    

The Empress pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Bengong has never heard of this person!"    

Seeing this, the expression of the eunuch beside the Empress changed slightly, then he whispered a few words to the Empress.    

The Empress's face instantly changed, and her phoenix eyes angrily opened as she scolded: "Bastard, why didn't you tell Bengong about this at the first possible moment!"    

The eunuch was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Your Ladyship, please calm your anger. This matter also happened yesterday. This servant also heard the palace's people chatting and found out. He didn't know if the matter was true or false so he didn't tell your Ladyship."    

When he saw this situation, Hu Zhiwei, who was at the side, had a dumbfounded expression. He didn't know what this eunuch had said to the Empress, but he couldn't ask too much.    

"Alright, alright, there's nothing else for you. You can leave first." The Empress frowned and waved her hand.    

After the eunuch left, the Empress slowly said, "The Su Ming you mentioned, is he the person with the Third Prince?"    

Hu Zhiwei was slightly stunned. "Yes, it is him!"    

The Empress whispered, "What's wrong with him?"    

Afterwards, Hu Ziwei told the Empress everything that had happened.    

The Empress's expression changed, she slammed the table and angrily shouted: "What did you say!"    

Hu Zhiwei said, "The process of the matter was not exaggerated in the slightest. If your Ladyship does not believe it, Housekeeper Hu can also testify."    

The Empress coldly said, "What a good Su Ming, to actually dare to do such a thing to the Hu Clan! Someone come!"    

"Your Ladyship, please slow down!" Hu Zhiwei stopped her, "Your Ladyship, don't be in a hurry to get angry."    

The Empress frowned, "What?"    

Hu Zhiwei slowly said, "A Su Ming is naturally insignificant, but your Ladyship just said that this brat is with the Third Prince..."    

The Empress's expression changed and she said, "You mean to say that the Third Prince also has a part in this matter?"    

Hu Ziwei said, "It cannot be said to be absolute, but since this brat is part of the Third Prince's faction, then there will more or less be the shadow of the Third Prince behind this."    

Hearing Hu Ziwei's words, the Empress fell into deep thought.    

"You're right" The Empress said slowly, "The current structure of the Imperial Court is changing, even His Majesty has a headache. This Su Ming matter is small, if it involves the Third Prince then it will be troublesome."    

Hu Ziwei said coldly, "The Third Prince has been opposing our Hu Clan and His Majesty for a long time. Why not take advantage of these few opportunities to suppress him?"    

The Empress pondered for a long time and finally said, "You don't need to worry about this matter for now, I have my own way of dealing with it."    

Seeing this, Hu Zhiwei did not say anything else.    

"About the Skysplit Tower smelting trial, how are your preparations!?" The Empress suddenly said.    

Hu Zhiwei smiled and said, "Your Ladyship, don't worry. I've been visiting master teachers for the past few years, and with the guidance that Big Brother gave me from the Upper Realm, it's not an exaggeration to say that even in the entire Huai Nan Kingdom... Besides those old fellows, no one amongst the rising stars is a match for me! "    

The Empress exhorted: "You must not lower your guard. After all, this Heavenspan Tower trials not only look at combat!"    

"Your Ladyship can rest assured." Hu Zhiwei said confidently.    

The Empress nodded and said, "In order to deal with this Su Ming, I will most likely have to rely on you to land in the Skysplit Tower smelting trial."    

Hu Ziwei was slightly stunned. "Skysplit Tower smelting trial? This Su Ming was indeed recommended by the Third Prince, but as far as I know, this year, there is only one place in the official circles outside of the Imperial Family. There are so many guests under the banner of the other ministers of South Huai. I don't think it will fall on Su Ming."    

The Empress said with an ugly expression, "Your news is outdated. According to Bengong, this only slot has already fallen on Su Ming's head!"    

"What!" Hu Zhiwei's expression changed greatly.    

Then, the Empress told Hu Zhiwei everything that the eunuch told her.    

Hu Zhiwei's face instantly turned ashen.    

"There's such a thing!" Hu Zhiwei said with an ugly expression, "This Master Ling Yun is indeed a swindler. He even said that he was an immortal from the Upper Realm. I didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to deal with Su Ming!"    

The Empress said in a low voice, "Anyway, it's always good for you to pay more attention."    

Hu Ziwei nodded and said, "Your Ladyship, don't worry. If Su Ming really survives the Skysplit Tower's trial, I will definitely make sure he doesn't leave the trial alive!"    

The Third Imperial Residence.    

As soon as Su Ming and Situ Zhong stepped through the door, Nangong Xin said with a happy expression, "Mr. Su, good news!"    

Su Ming indifferently said, "Is there a quota for the Skysplit Tower smelting trial?"    

Nangong Xin nodded and said, "Today, in the Imperial Court, they didn't break the agreement and nominated you, Mr. Su. Now, all that is left is the opinion of the South Huai Guards."    

Su Ming nodded and said, "There shouldn't be any problems with the South Huai Guards."    

When Nangong Xin heard this, he was overjoyed. He knew that Su Ming had naturally taken care of the South Huai Guards commander on this trip.    

"Since that's the case, then Mr. Su can start preparing for the trial." Nangong Xin said with a smile.    

Situ Zhong and Shangguan Jie also congratulated him, "Congratulations, Mr. Su!"    

Su Ming slightly waved his hand and said, "It's not too late to congratulate me after I pass."    

Situ Zhong smiled and said, "We all believe that Mr. Su will not have any problems. When Mr. Su really passes the trial, the Hu merchant group and Empress will no longer be in our eyes!"    

Nangong Xin was slightly stunned and said, "Why did you suddenly mention this?"    

Situ Zhong then slowly told Nangong Xin about the assassination and the Hu merchant group.    

Shangguan Jie's expression slightly changed as he said, "This matter must have already caused a ruckus at the Empress's place."    

Nangong Xin thought for a long time and said, "Don't worry, the Empress will go down and settle it. Mr. Su only needs to prepare for the trial."    

Su Ming nodded: "I heard... This Hu Zhiwei is also on the list for this trial."    

Hearing this, Situ Zhong said with a solemn expression, "That's right. Mr. Su needs to pay attention to this person. In the Skysplit Tower smelting trial, he will be one of your formidable opponents."
