The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
90. Chapter 90: Ling Yu's Greed (1)
The concubine of the Ling Empire slowly closed her eyes, her fists began to clench even tighter as her graceful face involuntarily began to twist in a terrifying manner. After a long pause, his eyes finally opened and he inhaled some air.
"The Luo Family. and Gu Ruoyun... I have a whole new level of respect for you now! Despite your knowledge that my father has a daughter as strong as me, you still dare to hurt him! All right, don't blame me for taking revenge for my father!"
"Auntie."
Ling Yu raised his teary-eyed gaze and looked pitifully at Imperial Concubine Ling.
"Yu'er, send me my imperial edict. Gu Ruoyun must be present before me!"
Imperial Concubine Ling coldly stated.
General Luo was one of the people that His Highness relied on very much in the imperial palace and while Imperial Concubine Ling was indeed a favored concubine, it was, he would not be able to take down a general who had been given great authority by the Emperor himself. Gu Ruoyun, on the contrary, was different. Although the Hundred Herb Hall was powerful and influential, he was only a small apprentice. Shopkeeper Zhao of the Hundred Herb Hall was a clever person; he would never make the entire Azure Dragon Country an enemy because of an apprentice.
"Yes, Auntie."
Ling Yu was overjoyed, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
"This time, let's see how you will survive this, Gu Ruoyun! Even if you have a hundred lives, they won't save you now! As long as I have the imperial edict from my Aunt, Hundreds of Potions." Hall will be mine if I want it, let alone a little disciple like you."
It was clear that in Ling Yu's heart, as strong as the Hundred Herb Hall, it was only a small merchant shop that was helpless against the imperial power.
...
In imperial studies.
Zuo Shangchen was lazing on the sedan, his expression sleepy and disobedient. His almond-shaped eyes carried a hint of a seductive smile and he could not even be bothered to look at the Emperor properly, who was sitting on the throne.
"Zuo Shangchen, is this your idea of proper etiquette as the fourth prince of the Vermilion Bird Country?" Leng Yanfeng furrowed his brows, his grim face showing a cold and clear disgust.
Hearing this, Zuo Shangchen smiled.
Nothing compared to his incredible smile. Not only were the women enchanted, even men could not hold their breath in astonishment.
After he spoke, the sedan of Zuo Shangchen prepared to leave when the Emperor, Leng Wujing, suddenly spoke up to stop him.
"Stop!"
"Why? You are the ones who say that I don't understand proper etiquette. Don't tell me you're gonna stop me from leaving after saying something like that?"
Zuo Shangchen waved his fur fan and replied with a smile.
Leng Wujing narrowed his eyes. He always thought that He could see through anyone, but from the beginning, He couldn't read the naughty men, smiling at all ...
It was as if he was an enigma, filled with danger, a danger that frightened him...
Thas right. Afraid!
Even Leng Wujing did not know the reason. To really think that even as the ruler of a country, He would actually be afraid of a young man who was just in his twenties.
"Fourth Prince, let's be frank about this. Why did you come all the way from the Vermilion Bird Country to the Azure Dragon Country?"
"Oh," Zuo Shangchen stroked his chin and smiled lazily, "For one person."
"Who?"
"Gu Ruoyun!"
Gu Ruoyun's? Leng Wujing was stunned. Gu Ruoyun's... This name appears quite often these days. Who would have thought that Zuo Shangchen would come all the way here, just for him?
"Hmmm!"
Leng Yanfeng sneered, and replied impassively, "Zuo Shangchen, as far as I know, you don't even know Gu Ruoyun."
"We didn't know each other before," Zuo Shangchen raised his eyebrows, "However, I've long heard his name. I came from far away just to meet him. It is ridiculous that such an unparalleled genius actually happens. If I hadn't come here by chance, I wouldn't have known that such a talented person really existed in this world."
