Chapter 643: Chapter 643. Surrounding The Palace Late at Night

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Emperor, why is Chen Qie feeling uneasy tonight? Did something happen to Chun ‘er?”

Consort Li clutched her chest and felt flustered and uncomfortable. She was restless, and her right eyelid twitched, making her even more uneasy.

“Nothing will happen to Chun’ er. I’ve already sent people to Mo City to look for him. I heard that Xiao Ying’s brother is still in Mo City. They used to be friends, so they shouldn’t do anything to him!”

The old Emperor sighed. He was getting old and worried. Although he hated Yelii Chun for leading his troops to surround the palace and rebel, it was because of that demoness. Chun’ er had been drugged by the love spell and could not help himself. The old Emperor did not blame him. He had to find his son. Even if Chun’er was stupid, it was better to find and keep him by his side than not having a son.

”Chun’ er treated Xiao Ying like that; how could her brother not be angry’ I just hope that Su Qing can cure Li’er, and for the child’s sake, Xiao Ying can forgive Chun’er.”

Chapter 648: The Battle!

“Hopefully. Su Qing took Li’er and left for half a month. I wonder if he was saved or not?”

The old Emperor’s eyes reddened when he thought of his grandson. That child was his favorite grandson. His eldest and second sons had many children, but because their father rebelled, the old Emperor was disappointed in these grandchildren and sent them far away.

Since Li’er was born, the old Emperor had high hopes for him. Li’er’s mother was the Great Tang’s princess, and her uncle was the Great Tang’s Emperor With an illustrious status. Furthermore, they had helped the Tartan Kingdom a lot. The old Emperor was grateful to Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu and valued his grandson.

The child was poisoned at such a young age, but as the Emperor, he was powerless. This made the old Emperor sad, heartbroken, and even guilty.

Li’er is blessed with great fortune and a great future. As long as Su Qing is around, he’ll be fine.”

Consort Li was very confident in Su Qing’s medical skills. She felt that Su Qing was like a god in heaven. As long as Su Qing was here, no matter how sick he was, she could snatch him back from the hands of the King of Hell.

-Yeah, Li’er is blessed. At the critical moment, his aunt came.”

The old Emperor nodded. With Su Qing around, he would be able to save his grandson.

“Your Majesty, go to sleep. You’ve been haggard lately.”

Consort Li’s heart ached as she advised the Emperor to sleep. For Li’er and Chun’er, he worried day and night that he had aged a lot.

“Alright, let’s sleep. They might be back soon.”

The old Emperor nodded and accompanied Consort Li to the bed. The old Emperor could not bear the burden of these days of suffering and was so tired that he broke out in a cold sweat after just two steps.

“Ding ding dang dang…”

The sound of weapons clashing came from outside the palace. A soldier ran over to report.

“The Emperor is in trouble. The King of Qing has rebelled.”

“What?”

The more the old Emperor worried, the more he feared. The King of Qing was his half-brother. Strictly speaking, he was an illegitimate child. When his father went hunting, he met a maid and was moved. He doted on her once, and later, this woman gave birth to the King of Qing.

After his father learned of this, he brought the Qing King back to the palace and ordered the lowly maid to be killed so that the Qing King would acknowledge himself under the name of the old Emperor’s mother.

The King of Qing had always acted as if he did not fight for anything and was very popular with his father. However, because of his humble background, his father did not make him the Crown Prince. He only gave him a piece of land so that he could live a carefree life.

Usually, the King of Qing was very low-key and obedient to him. However, in the past two years, rumors existed that the King of Qing was recruiting soldiers and buying horses. He had sent people to investigate, but they had not found any evidence, so they had been put aside.

He had thought that the Qing King’s territory was insignificant and would not threaten the Tartan Kingdom much. Even if he had ambitions, they would not be helpful, so the old Emperor did not care about him. He did not expect the Qing King to rebel suddenly.

“Emperor, the guards can’t hold on any longer. Let’s protect you and leave!” The shouts of killing outside soared into the sky. The Emperor’s guards were unable to hold them back. The personal guards hurriedly advised the Emperor to leave. It would be too late by the time the Qing King and the others rushed

The old Emperor and Consort Li had no choice but to follow the guards and escape. The remaining Royal Guards fought to the death against the enemy, buying more time for the Emperor to escape.

The old Emperor and Consort Li left the Royal Palace under the protection of the guards. They wanted to find the city guards to come over, but the King of Qing’s men had already sealed off the road from the Royal Palace to the city guards. A few guards risked their lives to charge in, but they were outnumbered. They watched as the Royal Palace was taken over, and the city guards did not know.

The old Emperor raised his head and sighed. The heavens had killed him!

Consort Li’s hair was a mess from running. She was wearing shoes that were not for running at all. She was so tired that her face was sweaty, and her ankle was injured. She was in a sorry state. Her eyes were filled with panic and helplessness. Death was not scary, but it was always a pity that she could not see her son and grandson one last time.

Consort Li, don’t be afraid. I will accompany you.”

The old Emperor held Consort Li’s hand as he watched the Qing King surround him with his men. He knew that he would die today.

“Big brother, you didn’t expect this, did you?”

The King of Qing looked down at his brother from his horse. His eyes were proud and arrogant. After enduring for many years, he finally awaited this day. From today onwards, he would be the Emperor of Tartan. What did it mean by the son of a maidservant’s blood being too lowly to become the Emperor? F * ck him. Today, he was going to hold his head high and let the world see that the son of a maid had become the Emperor of Tartan.

After enduring hardships and tasting gall for so many years, he finally found an opportunity. This was the heavens helping him.

“Wild ambition.”

The old Emperor gave the Qing King a contemptuous look. Although a disaster was imminent, the old Emperor showed no fear. He stood straight, and the wind blew his hair. Although he was in a sorry state, he did not lose the dignity of an emperor. He looked at the Qing King and rebuked him angrily.

The Qmg King raised his head and laughed arrogantly until tears came from his eyes. He looked down at the old Emperor and said,

“Ambition? Perfect, I like this phrase. I am a wolf, and I will tear apart all of you hypocrites who bullied my mother and me. The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. I will kill you. However, I feel sorry for you. By the way, I forgot to tell you that I’ve dealt with all your exiled grandsons. Don’t woriy, I’ll cut off the roots and ensure you have no descendants.”

Hearing that his grandchildren had been killed, the old Emperor could no longer take it. He pointed at the King of Qing and cursed,

“A child is innocent. You’re worse than a beast!”

The Qing King laughed loudly when he saw the old Emperor trembling angrily. “Bastard, your father bullied my mother and even gave her death. At that time I swore I would ensure he had no descendants. Don’t worry; I will never use the surname Ye Lui to declare myself Emperor. I will use my mother’s surname which you all call lowly. I will kill all of you so-called noble people. Not only your grandchildren but all of the Ye Lui family members will die. I will make this surname disappear from the Tartan Kingdom.”

The Qing King’s face was dark, and his voice was filled with hatred. He had personally seen his mother die, and he had seen her helplessly stretch out her hand to him for help as she hung from the beam. At that time, he had sworn to bury all the people of the Ye Lui family with his mother.

After waiting for more than 20 years, this opportunity had finally arrived!

Just as the King of Qing raised his knife and was about to cut down the old Emperor and Consort Li, two soldiers ran over to report,

“King Qing, bad news..”
