Chapter 796 Grand Imperial Sire (1)
Ye Qingtang turned around and strolled back .
The little Emperor was in the Blood Moon Elder’s hands, and he bit the Blood Moon Elder the moment he returned to his senses .
The Blood Moon Elder’s reaction was very fast, and he lifted the little Emperor up immediately . Imitating Ye Qingtang’s stance, he raised his hand and slapped the little Emperor’s bottom .
“Damn! How dare you think of biting me?”
The little white tiger watched the little Emperor from aside and suddenly felt that this scene was seemingly familiar .
“How will you release His Majesty?” Long Jiang took a deep breath and asked .
Ye Qingtang did not hurry to reply Long Jiang and spoke to Qu Xiangyang instead . “I have something to ask you . Come over first . ”
Qu Xiangyang took a step forward .
“Please speak, benefactor . ”
Ye Qingtang asked softly, “Is Her Lordship whom you mentioned the lady who assisted the former Emperor?”
Qu Xiangyang was rather taken aback .
“Yes . ”
“Do you know where she went?” Ye Qingtang asked .
Qu Xiangyang shook his head .
“Her Lordship left hurriedly back then and did not say anything to us . Moreover, she was with the Grand Imperial Sire on the last day and disappeared afterward . ”
Ye Qingtang frowned slightly as she did not expect the outcome to be like this .
From what Qu Xiangyang had said, the last person who interacted with that lady was Nine Nights Dynasty’s Grand Imperial Sire?
Ye Qingtang pondered for a moment and looked at Long Jiang . “I want to meet the Grand Imperial Sire . ”
“What?” Long Jiang was a little stunned .
“As long as the Grand Imperial Sire gives me a reply to a question, I’ll release your Emperor,” Ye Qingtang said .
Although she was rather confident that the lady was her mother, she needed to confirm it once again . Furthermore… she needed to know where that lady went .
Long Jiang’s expression darkened .
The Grand Imperial Sire was extremely ill and had been bedridden for years . His body was very frail, and if this person was allowed to meet the Grand Imperial Sire…
Long Jiang was caught in a dilemma .
The Great Emperor’s only child was the little Emperor, and Long Jiang himself was not the young man’s opponent . If the other party really killed the little Emperor, Nine Nights Dynasty would no longer have any ruler .
“I… I agree, but you must promise to release His Majesty after you meet the Great Emperor . ” Long Jiang compromised as he had no alternative .
“Okay . ” Ye Qingtang nodded .
Helpless, Long Jiang could only lead Ye Qingtang and the rest back to the palace .
The deaths of the father and son of the Qin family were gratifying to the people .
Moreover, Qin Long’s action of self-protection at the last moment stirred the dissatisfaction of the masses .
When the crowd was gone, the corpses of the father and son of the Qin family were abandoned on the corners of the street without a single person to collect their dead bodies .
Passing through the glamorous corridors of the royal palace, Long Jiang stopped outside the living quarters .
“The Grand Imperial Sire is inside . I’ll go in first to report to him . ”
Ye Qingtang nodded in agreement .
The little Emperor had a twisted expression as he watched Long Jiang enter the… He secretly took a peek at Ye Qingtang but frantically looked away in fear when Ye Qingtang’s eyeballs moved .
In no time, the main entrance to the living quarters was opened .
“The Grand Imperial Sire told you all to enter,” Long Jiang said .
Ye Qingtang and the Blood Moon Elder entered the living quarters .
Although it was daytime outside, the living quarters were dim without a ray of light shining in . The thick curtains blocked the sunlight that entered through the window, and the massive living quarters were only a little lit up by candles .
The moment Ye Qingtang entered, she smelled the faint smell of herbs .
“Grand Imperial Sire, I’ve brought them in . ” Long Jiang walked to the bedside and slowly lifted the bed curtains .
