Chapter 132 Zhu Yi Loses Everything

Chapter 132 Zhu Yi Loses Everything

Qingbao suddenly stopped.

This confirmed her earlier suspicions.

Looking out the window into the room, Qingbao's gaze met Xia Jingheng's.

Xia Jingheng smiled gently and nodded to Qingbao.

The Empress Dowager said from the side, "This child is both clever and adorable. I wonder what kind of good fortune the Su family has accumulated over many lifetimes to have such a wonderful child as Qingbao."

She developed a slight curiosity about Qingbao's biological father.

"Yes, the little girl was talking to herself and got herself all worked up. She's so cute." Xia Jingheng's gaze was gentle.

The Empress Dowager was taken aback. "You can't see him?"

"Who?" Xia Jingheng asked in confusion.

The Empress Dowager stiffly turned her head to look at Fu Tu in front of Qing Bao.

Such a big man is right here, and yet the Crown Prince can't see him—

The Imperial Palace.

Zhu Yi returned looking disheveled, his white clothes covered in dust.

Xuan Yue turned around and rushed to greet him, "Brother Yi, what's wrong?"

"They took Xia Jingheng away from Zhenguo Temple, but they never expected that the old monk would pay the price with his own suicide..."

Zhu Yi's eyes grew increasingly dark and deep.

He believes that people should cherish their lives, especially those with spiritual cultivation like themselves and the abbot.

Unexpectedly, the abbot, who had devoted himself to Buddhist practice for many years, was willing to die for others.

It's simply—

madness!

"If we hadn't acted impulsively back then, killing many guards, incurring karmic ties, and damaging our cultivation, that old monk wouldn't have been able to protect Xia Jingheng at all!"

Xuan Yue gritted her teeth.

Nineteen years ago, she shouldn't have killed mortals!

Otherwise, how could the two of them combined not have been able to break through the Buddhist teachings of Zhenguo Temple, allowing Xia Jingheng to live for another nineteen years?

If the price to pay is damage to one's cultivation, that's one thing.

Unfortunately, the biggest threat was not eliminated...

What a huge loss!

My heart is bleeding!

"Hahaha." The Emperor stood up from the ground, sat back on the dragon throne, and exuded a certain air of authority.

"I told you, good will always triumph over evil. If you don't want to suffer the same fate as you did nineteen years ago, you'd better be sensible and leave on your own, otherwise..."

"Do you have the right to speak?" Xuan Yue waved her hand, knocking the emperor off the dragon throne.

The magic touched the emperor and then quickly bounced back.

It struck Xuan Yue in the chest.

She clutched her chest, took a few steps back, and looked at him in disbelief. "How could you..."

"Oh no, he has the aura of an emperor!" Zhu Yi's expression changed.

The aura of an emperor can protect the emperor's safety; whoever touches it will suffer the consequences.

It wasn't there a few days ago, how come it's here now?

The emperor smiled and took two steps forward. "Didn't you want to kill me? Come on, do it."

Xuan Yue Zhu Yi took a half step back, watching him warily.

Zhu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, "No wonder you dared to ignore my warning and issue an imperial decree to Si He. So, it was Qing Bao who brought back imperial aura for you, is that it?"

"From beginning to end, you've been keeping us occupied, showing no concern for your own safety whatsoever, just trying to buy time for Qingbao to pick up Xia Jingheng!!!"

After saying this, Zhu Yi himself couldn't believe it. As an immortal, he had been outmaneuvered by a group of mortals time and time again.

His chest heaved violently.

I feel offended!

"Congratulations on your correct answer, but it's too late. I am right here. If you have the guts, then kill me. Otherwise... I will not grant you any of your requests!"

The emperor remained calm and upright as he confronted the two men.

"How dare you!" Xuan Yue roared in anger.

How dare a mere mortal speak to them like that?!

Zhu Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Very good, very good..."

Now that things have come to this, it's no use for them to trap the emperor in the palace.

Qingbao is too cunning.

This game caused him to lose everything!

If they don't leave soon and make proper plans, they might really have to confront them.

"Walk!"

The words were spoken.

The two transformed into two beams of light and disappeared from the palace.

The barrier shattered with a snap.

The eunuch quickly pushed open the door and entered, bowing low as he cautiously asked the Emperor, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his face calm and composed. "I am the Son of Heaven, how could I be afraid of a mere immortal?"

After saying that, he reached out and pressed down on his trembling legs.

Damn leg, what are you shaking for?!

General Su's Mansion.

Su Xiao was placing the memorial tablet of Old Lady Su into the ancestral hall and kneeling down to burn incense and pay his respects.

At this moment.

Su Mengmeng walked in, looking at Su Xiao pitifully.

"Father, just now Mengmeng saw Madam bring a lot of people into the General's Mansion. Are they here to hurt Mengmeng? Mengmeng is so scared."

Since Si Yao's death, Su Mengmeng's sense of insecurity has only grown stronger.

Thinking about everything she had done to Qingbao, she couldn't sleep every night, fearing that Qingbao would retaliate against her.

There was such a commotion outside the Su family's house.

Su Mengmeng subconsciously assumed that those people were also there to help Qingbao deal with her.

First her mother died, then her grandmother died, and then her aunt died.

Next, it will either be her or her father...

She ran fearfully to the ancestral hall and sought refuge with her father.

Su Xiao placed the incense sticks in the incense burner, turned around, and frowned. "So many people? Men and women? What are their identities?"

“There are both men and women. Mengmeng doesn’t know who they are. Daddy, Mengmeng is scared…” Su Mengmeng hugged Su Xiao’s leg.

Her voice was soft.

Su Xiao summoned the butler.

The butler bowed his head and said, "Madam said that these are all distinguished guests, not people we can afford to offend, so they have all been sent to Madam's courtyard."

"Among them was an elderly lady with an extraordinary air about her, and another man, also a master, who looked about the same age as the general. Both in appearance and demeanor, he was exceptionally outstanding..."

The butler had never seen such elegant and refined people before, and he was deeply impressed by them.

Even if the Emperor himself came, he would probably not be as handsome and noble as that seated young master.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiao felt a strong sense of crisis.

He flicked his sleeve behind him and strode out.

Su Mengmeng and the housekeeper caught up as quickly as possible.

Arriving at the gate of Sihe Courtyard.

Several women were guarding the courtyard gate; judging from their clothing, they did not appear to be from the general's mansion.

"Who are you?" Fan Zhi reached out to stop Su Xiao, her face stern.

The butler said, "How dare you! This is our General Su!"

This is General Su's residence, and General Su is the undisputed master of the house.

What guest would dare to stop the male host?

"General Su? Si He's husband?" Fan Zhi looked him up and down.

A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Compared to her prince, they are like clouds and mud!

"That's right, you all move aside!" Su Xiao said with a stern face, about to move forward.

Fan Zhi continued to block her way, her tone stern, "Even if you're General Su, or even if you're a member of the imperial family, you can't go in without orders!"

"How dare you stop me!" Su Xiao's face was filled with anger.

"No, could it be that Si He and that man are doing something shady inside? That's why they sent people to guard them!"

"Well, you've even dared to steal someone from the General's mansion! Sihe, you're really something, doing such a shameless thing just to force me to divorce you!!"

"Get out here right now!"

Su Xiao pushed Fan Zhi aside.

An angry kick.

Then they kicked the courtyard gate open!
