The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
93. Chapter 93: Ling Yu's Greed (4)
"Yes sir."
Xunfeng and Moyu simultaneously clenched their hands, bowed and replied respectfully.
Since Gu Ruoyun had now moved away from the Hundred Herb Hall, Ling Yu and Zuo Shangchen were unable to find her. Zuo Shangchen did not say anything and turned to leave. However, Ling Yu was not easily pushed aside.
"I have an imperial decree of imperial concubines! Have Gu Ruoyun come here to accept it, immediately!"
Ling Yu raised his chin as his greedy eyes landed on the many precious herbs within the Hundred Herb Hall.
If I can obtain the Hundred Herb Hall, the Crown Prince will definitely pay attention to me. From then on, the next logical step was to become the Empress consort of the Crown Prince and one day, I would become the Empress, the mother of the nation.
"He's not in the Hundred Herb Hall. You've come to the wrong place."
Elder Yu's expression darkened. He answered without expression.
"I don't care where he is. Get him out to see me right now!" Ling Yu smiled coldly, "Unless he intends to disobey the imperial decree! At that time, even the Hundred Herb Hall would not be able to protect him! Furthermore, the imperial concubine had made another decision. Seeing the Hundred Herb Hall give shelter to my grandfather's murderer, they were hereby sentenced. However, the imperial concubine was compassionate. If you hand over the reign of the Hundred Herb Hall, then we will leave you with your life."
Of course, that last sentence was entirely from Ling Yu.
He had been eyeing the Hundred Herb Hall for more than a day or two. So why didn't he use this opportunity to steal the Hundred Herb Hall for himself? Even if the imperial concubine was angry at him the next time, he could offer her a precious potion stored within the walls of the Hundred Jamu Hall to calm her anger.
Ling Yu had planned everything perfectly. Unfortunately, it's easier said than done...
"God." Elder Yu smiled coldly, "What a barbarity at such a young age, little girl. I want to see how exactly you plan on taking our entire lives!"
This little imperial concubine's niece wants to kill me? He thinks. Haha, that's ridiculous.
"Based on old bastard! You are only a small merchant yet you have the guts to disobey the imperial power? My aunt is an imperial concubine! Why would he be afraid of a common merchant like you? I advise you to hand over the Hundred Herb Hall or else you will not be able to continue your stay in the Azure Dragon Country.
" Ling Yu knew that Elder Yu held a position of power and respect in the Hundred Herb Hall. So, he assumed that he was the true owner of the Hundred Herb Hall working behind the scenes! He did not even consider the possibility that Gu Ruoyun was the true owner. After all, Gu Ruoyun was just a little girl. In the days when the Hundred Herb Hall was built, he had yet to be born.
"Good...Nice work! Haha!" Elder Yu became angry but instead laughed. His eyes burned with flames as he said, "I'd like to see how you're going to do it. Show me how you will drive me out of the Azure Dragon Country!"
"I tried to warn you, but I saw that you would not heed my warning."
Ling Yu sneered, waved his hand, and gave orders to the people behind him, "Men! Take this old fart and take him to the imperial concubine."
However, just as he finished speaking, the figure of the old man suddenly disappeared. The moment he reappeared, he was already in front of Ling Yu...
Even before Ling Yu managed to react, Elder Yu's palm landed heavily on his chest, causing his entire body to fly backwards and hit the ground with a loud bang. Then, a voice filled with killing intent rang out in everyone's ears.
"Go from before me!!!"
The old man straightened his long sleeves with a flick of his wrist, his old face ice-cold.
"Yuk!" Ling Yu vomited two gulps of blood before spitting at him while gritting his teeth, "You old fart... Just hang... You'll pay for this!"
He hurriedly stood up, and left, with his tail between his legs towards the direction he had originally come from ...
