Chapter 2685: Chapter 2685: I Know Youâre the Retired Emperor
He truly hated these two people. If it werenât for them, he wouldnât have ended up in such a predicament. Even if the throne no longer existed, there were many forces, and he wouldnât be trapped in the Supreme Palace, unable to communicate with the outside world.
âTsk.â
An Jiuyue touched her forehead with one hand and let out a slight tsk.
They had fallen to the point of being watched, yet here they were still trying to threaten her. She asked, does anyone still believe these threats?
âYou all, leave.â
Qian Jiyun looked at the two young eunuchs in the hall and instructed.
âYes.â
The young eunuchs hadnât seen Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue before, but listening to their conversation with the Retired Emperor earlier, they could guess who they were. They responded and obediently left.
âRetired Emperor, we came from Ying City, bringing you a lot of news. Do you want to know about it?â An Jiuyue somehow had a booklet in her hand and waved it in front of the Retired Emperor.
She hadnât even gone to see her son, and first came to deliver what Gong Jian had found in Ying City to the Retired Emperor.
âYouââ
The Retired Emperor continued to stare at An Jiuyue and Qian Jiyun venomously.
No need to look, from An Jiuyueâs serene expression, he could tell how disastrous the situation in Ying City was for him.
But he still wanted to see, to know how much Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue had uncovered, how many cards he still had left.
âAn Jiuyue, I am the Retired Emperor, is this the attitude you use to speak to me?â He gritted his teeth and questioned.
âAlright, alright, we know youâre the Retired Emperor.â
An Jiuyue waved her hand dismissively at him, thinking this Retired Emperor really had no sensibility.
âWhat of the Retired Emperor? In the Daqing Kingdom, are two powerful princes like me and Jiyun not more formidable? Just an unseen old man in the deep palace, what, does the Retired Emperor still wish to overturn the heavens?â
âI am the ruler of Huayan Peak, and Jiuyue governs Wulong Mountain.â Qian Jiyun reminded him.
Donât act like theyâre relying on others and need to lower themselves; besides, heâs just a Retired Emperor without any authority, joking around?
âYou, youâŠâ
The Retired Emperor was so furious at them he was trembling all over, nearly grinding his teeth to dust.
His poisoned gaze seemed ready to tear them apart, âDonât be so arrogant, thinking your status allows you to act recklessly across the planes?â
âLet me show you, you must be eager to learn about your beloved Dowager Consort Yuâs news, right? I have it all here.â An Jiuyue didnât argue further, tossing the booklet in front of him.
As for whether theyâre arrogant, thatâs not for the Retired Emperor to decide.
After all, if no one provokes them, they wonât disturb anyone, right? Only someone like the Retired Emperor, who constantly wishes for their demise, could attract their attention.
The Retired Emperor lowered his gaze, looking at the booklet he hadnât intended to see.
But as An Jiuyue tossed it towards him, it opened coincidentally to a line about Dowager Consort Yu and the Fifteenth Princeâs execution.
The sight shocked him deeply, and he immediately picked up the booklet to carefully read those few lines.
âQian Jiyun, An Jiuyue, you dare⊠you dare to murder the royal heirs!â Whether Dowager Consort Yu lives or dies means nothing to him; though she is his woman, she had betrayed him. Even if Dowager Consort Yu were alive, he wouldnât let her off.
