Chapter 2685: Chapter 2685: I Know You’re the Retired Emperor
He truly hated these two people. If it weren’t for them, he wouldn’t have ended up in such a predicament. Even if the throne no longer existed, there were many forces, and he wouldn’t be trapped in the Supreme Palace, unable to communicate with the outside world.
“Tsk.”
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?
“You all, leave.”
Qian Jiyun looked at the two young eunuchs in the hall and instructed.
“Yes.”
The young eunuchs hadn’t 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.
“Retired Emperor, we came from Ying City, bringing you a lot of news. Do you want to know about it?” An Jiuyue somehow had a booklet in her hand and waved it in front of the Retired Emperor.
She hadn’t even gone to see her son, and first came to deliver what Gong Jian had found in Ying City to the Retired Emperor.
“You—”
The Retired Emperor continued to stare at An Jiuyue and Qian Jiyun venomously.
No need to look, from An Jiuyue’s 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.
“An Jiuyue, I am the Retired Emperor, is this the attitude you use to speak to me?” He gritted his teeth and questioned.
“Alright, alright, we know you’re the Retired Emperor.”
An Jiuyue waved her hand dismissively at him, thinking this Retired Emperor really had no sensibility.
“What 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?”
“I am the ruler of Huayan Peak, and Jiuyue governs Wulong Mountain.” Qian Jiyun reminded him.
Don’t act like they’re relying on others and need to lower themselves; besides, he’s just a Retired Emperor without any authority, joking around?
“You, you…”
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, “Don’t be so arrogant, thinking your status allows you to act recklessly across the planes?”
“Let me show you, you must be eager to learn about your beloved Dowager Consort Yu’s news, right? I have it all here.” An Jiuyue didn’t argue further, tossing the booklet in front of him.
As for whether they’re arrogant, that’s not for the Retired Emperor to decide.
After all, if no one provokes them, they won’t 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 hadn’t intended to see.
But as An Jiuyue tossed it towards him, it opened coincidentally to a line about Dowager Consort Yu and the Fifteenth Prince’s execution.
The sight shocked him deeply, and he immediately picked up the booklet to carefully read those few lines.
“Qian Jiyun, An Jiuyue, you dare… you dare to murder the royal heirs!” 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 wouldn’t let her off.
