Chapter 274 - Became Empress!
Chapter 274 Became Empress!
Hua Qiyue turned around, absolutely shocked. She saw two ragged men in their twenties. Their faces had some bloodstains. But all those couldn’t hide the fact that they were handsome. And they looked very alike.
“Caining? Caiqing? Is that you two?” Hua Qiyue looked at those two secret guards, totally stunned. After all, they used to be her secret guards, and they had done a great job.
It was just that the relationship between the Changjing Kingdom and the Yuewu Kingdom was not very good. So how did they come all the way here?
“It’s really... our Princess!” Caining looked at Hua Qiyue’s stunningly beautiful face and got so excited that he became dumb.
“Brother Caining, Brother Caiqing, why did you two come here?”
Tianci ran over and pulled Caiqing’s hand. “Hey, big brother, are you injured?”
Caining and Caiqing looked at each other and both smiled. Yun Shimo involuntarily frowned as he came and saw this scene. It seemed that Hua Qiyue had more and more handsome faces around her.
Hua Qiyue noticed that they were all seriously injured, so she immediately brought them back to the inn so that Yun Shimo could make some medicine to help them heal.
After Caining and Caiqing had got themselves cleaned up, their normally handsome faces were revealed. It turned out that they hit the road from the Changjing Kingdom. When Huangfu Shenglin became the emperor, he made Hua Liting the prime minister and Hua Qiyue her empress.
Although the empress was missing, her name was not. The Emperor Huangfu Shenglin was great at taking care of the state affairs so the ministers did not dare to oppose that act.
Therefore, Hua Qiyue was then the empress of Emperor Huangfu Shenglin!
After Yun Shimo heard that news, he took a deep breath. Huangfu Shenglin really worked so hard to try to take away his lady. He even did that!
The person who injured Caining and Caiqing was a disciple from the Blood Sect. It was only lucky for Caining and Caiqing to know a little about rune so they managed to escape.
“Mom, what is an empress?” Tianci blinked his eyes. He curiously glanced at the furious Yun Shimo. “Is she the wife of the emperor?”
Ji Feng couldn’t help laughing. He had long abandoned the idea of owing Hua Qiyue. But he stood by her side silently. When he saw Yun Shimo just now, he found himself some fun.
“Yes, an empress is the emperor’s wife. Changing Kingdom’s Emperor has taken a fancy to you mom. Tianci, you are going to be the Crown Prince!” Ji Feng laughed and said jokingly.
Tianci straightened his chest. “No, I don’t want to be the Crown Prince. I just want to be my mom’s son!”
No matter how strong the temptation was, he had to resist it. Well, his mom wouldn’t like him to be the Crown Prince!
Hua Qiyue patted him on the head. “Good, rejecting all the ill-disposed temptations, you really take after me!”
“Haw, haw, of course, I do!” Tianci was very proud. Those two were so alike in their tempers, which made Yun Shimo gnash his teeth.
That girl was so complacent about herself after being appointed as the empress, so did she actually somewhat like Huangfu Shenglin?
Yun Shimo stood up abruptly and said with a long face, “We are going back to the Changjing Kingdom now!”
He had to pull Huangfu Shenglin from the emperor’s chair and kicked his ass mercilessly until he was willing to write a letter to divorce Hua Qiyue, or he wouldn’t let him go!
“Excuse me, there is an appointment with Duanmu Jing tomorrow night, and moreover, Xuanyuan family’s business has not yet been resolved, and you are leaving now?” Hua Qiyue raised her eyebrows and questioned. Yun Shimo furrowed his brow. This was another thing he had to worry about.
Although Xuanyuan family was not one of the big families in Xuanyuan City, it was still big as a hermit family. Not even Murong Family could be a comparison.
It was impossible for outsiders to find Xuanyuan family’s stronghold. So what Yun Shimo could do was only to stay here and wait for people from Xuanyuan family to come to him.
“How about this, we will stay here and deal with Xuanyuan Family first. It will not be too late when we go back. The empress is just a title without any meaning, and it won’t do anything bad to you,” Bai Qianxue said faintly, and his slender fingers were stroking a white Jade flute.
That flute was a premium spirit weapon, only inferior to a divine weapon.
“City Master Bai is right. Let’s stay here first, and plus... Xuanji may come back to Xuanyuan City to find us,” Ji Feng smiled and said.
However, the word “Xuanji” really made Yun Shimo sick. He furrowed his brow again.
Nevertheless, if he hadn’t tackled the problem with Xuanyuan Family, he would never go back to the Changjing Kingdom. After all, it was time to deal with the bad blood between the two families.
Yun Shimo stopped making any sound. He had to stay here, whether he wanted to or not.
It was time for dinner.
Hua Qiyue took a look at the dishes on the table. Since there were two more people—Caining and Caiqing, Hua Qiyue purposely ordered the waiter to cook several more dishes.
The waiter was afraid of Yun Shimo, so he dared not let Hua Qiyue and the other people felt slighted.
“The red, steamed fish tastes great, and the Xuehuashenshan, nice name, by the way, is also a special dish in Xuanyuan City. You can give them a try.”
Bai Qianxue was never talkative, but he introduced two dishes and moved them to Hua Qiyue.
Hua Qiyue was embarrassed. She raised the corner of her mouth.
Yun Shimo had a sense of grievance. Why that girl was surrounded by cute guys all the time, but he did not have any pretty ladies with him? Not even Princess Qianyang. Since she had taken the Forgetting Pill, she would no longer pay any attention to him. But she had a crush on Bingyi.
Princess Qianyang sat next to Bingyi, and her smile was so sweet. She even put some pork into Bingyi’s bowl.
Bingyi blushed, but he did not want to scold her in front of everybody. So he just made a noise with his nose and mumbled, “Don’t give me food, I hate it!”
Princess Qianyang was stricken for a few seconds. She pressed her lips, feeling wronged, but she did not say anything. And then she became quiet and well-behaved again.
Hua Qiyue knew that Yun Shimo had given her the Forgetting Pill, but she did not know the pill could be so effective that she even forgot her.
However, this version of Princess Qianyang would be much happier than she was before.
Tianci glanced at Princess Qianyang curiously and tugged at the corner of Hua Qiyue’s clothes stealthily. “Mom, why do I have a feeling that sister princess has changed from a witch to a little princess?”
Hua Qiyue burst into a gentle laugh. “Tianci, don’t mention that in front of her, alright?”
Tianci nodded his head, not knowing whether he really understood it or not.
Caining and Caiqing had been starving for days. After they saw the table full of dishes, they couldn’t help but start to devour like wolves, negligent of their looks.
Bingyi finished one bowl of rice. When he was ready to leave to get another, Princess Qianyang stopped him and said, “Let me do it.”
Everyone was very shocked to find Princess Qianyang had said that. Her little bashful face was not fake, and no one could fake that. Then the crowd turned to look at Yun Shimo, who seemed fine with that and helped Hua Qiyue get a bowl of soup.
Bingyi snorted. He did not pass the bowl to Princess Qianyang but stood up and quickly gave the bowl to a waiter.
Princess Qianyang pressed her lips and was still looking at him gently, and then she looked at Hua Qiyue and the other people as if she didn’t know them.
“Princess? Did you really forget us?”
Tianci was so curious that he asked. Hua Qiyue raised her eyebrows, noticing the confusion in Princess Qianyang’s eyes.
“I don’t really remember much... Oh, what’s your name, cute boy,” Princess Qianyang smiled and asked.
Hua Qiyue was mentally impressed by Yun Shimo. So a pill could solve every problem? Why didn’t he gave Princess Qianyang the pill in the first place?
Oh no, by then, Yun Shimo was not powerful enough to make that pill.
That dinner was really peaceful. After all, Princess Qianyang had become a good girl. Despite the tiny contradiction between Yun Shimo and Bai Qianxue, the dinner was really smooth and peaceful.
——————————
In Xuanyuan Family’s old house, Liu Shaoming was carried in.
The elders were standing in the hall, looking at Liu Shaoming’s pale face as he lay on the stretcher. Their faces were serious.
Xuanyuan Qing’er went down on her knees, and the Second Elder stopped her and helped her to her feet. “Qing’er, don’t do this. This is not your fault!”
People remained silent. Tears welled up in Xuanyuan Qing’er’s eyes. “Grandpa, the elders, Patriarch, you must bring us justice. Several of our people were killed, and Brother Liu was even disabled. Grandpa, you must bring us justice...”
Xuanyuan Qing’er could not hold back her tears.
Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan furrowed his brow and turned to look at one of the family’s disciples. “Shaoqing, tell me what had happened the other day.”
Then the man called Shaoqing told everything that had happened that day. The elders’ faces got even gloomier.
Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan took a look at Liu Shaoming who was in a coma. He said gently, “You guys carry Liu Shaoming back and let him rest. The family storehouse will be responsible for the treatment.”
A few disciples responded and carried Liu Shaoming away. The Second Elder let someone escort Xuanyuan Qing’er away and then joined the other elders in the meeting.
Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan sat in the front, listening to the other elders’ speeches with a long face.
“I didn’t expect the brat Yun Shimo to be so powerful. Shaoqing said he had at least reached the first level of Holy God... It’s inconceivable!”
“Yes, it is. He only used one year to do that. Did he... Did he know that Princess Qianyang has the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead in her?”
“We should be to blame. We did not work hard enough to find a loophole in the big array. Shaoqing said that the primordial energy was very volatile one day, so what had happened that day?”
“Yun Shimo is so powerful. With Hua Qiyue and Bai Qianxue, those people are invincible. It is no longer wise to send disciples out there!”
“If that is the case, then only by our actions can we kill those evildoers all at once!”
The elders were having a heated discussion. Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan was on the side, listening quietly. Xuanyuan Quan’s look was serious with his brows furrowed.
Xuanyuan Family had had the upper hand in the battle and the grievance with Yun Family for many years.
Then, Yun Shimo had promptly reached the first level of Holy God, and his power became fierce, which was a quite big threat to Xuanyuan Family.
Therefore, it was a must to get rid of Yun Shimo, and it could no longer be delayed. But in order to do that, the elders had to be the ones who did the job.
However, there were only three elders who were at the first level of Holy God in Xuanyuan Family. The other elders, however, were at the great completeness of Round Sun. As for Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan, he was at the medium level of Holy God...
They did not know how powerful Bai Qianxue was. So just to be safe, Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan had to go with the elders.
“How about this. Three days later, I will go to Xuanyuan City with everyone to kill Yun Shimo and the Old Yun. Then I will come back,” Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan finally spoke.
