Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 166
Chapter 166: A Brother’s Dying Wish
“Are you Uncle Ye? ”
Having just reached the Palace Gate, a timid voice rang out. Ye Yu turned around in surprise.
He saw a dirty little girl holding half a portrait, looking at herself, comparing as she looked.
Ye Yu frowned, looking at the little girl. He felt that the little girl’s eyebrows and eyes were somewhat familiar. He asked, “Who are you? ”
“My name is Li Yiqiu. My father said that if he doesn’t come back, I should come find you,” Li Yiqiu said timidly, leaning her head against something.
Li Yiqiu? Hearing this name, Ye Yu suddenly came to his senses. “Are you Li Bufan’s daughter? ”
Li Bufan’s face flashed through his mind, and those eyebrows and eyes gradually overlapped with Li Yiqiu’s.
“Yes, are you Uncle Ye? ” Li Yiqiu looked at the half portrait in her hand, constantly comparing it to Ye Yu. Only half a portrait showed half of Ye Yu’s face.
“I am. ” Ye Yu stepped forward and picked up Li Yiqiu, then glanced at Liu Qi beside her.
Liu Qi understood and left the Imperial Palace, heading straight for the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion.
After a long while, Liu Qi returned to the palace where Ye Yu was. Li Yiqiu had already changed into a new set of clothes and was sitting at the table, gobbling down her food.
“Young Master, I’m back. ” Liu Qi’s expression was somewhat complex as he looked at Li Yiqiu.
“What’s the result? ” Ye Yu patted Li Yiqiu’s head and asked.
Liu Qi looked at Li Yiqiu, pursed his lips, and didn’t speak.
Ye Yu understood and took Liu Qi aside, asking, “What’s wrong? Did something happen to Li Bufan? ”
“Young Master, it’s like this. According to the information from the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion, Li Bufan and his wife are both dead. ” Saying this, Liu Qi handed a jade slip to Ye Yu.
Ye Yu’s face suddenly turned cold, and he took the jade slip and read it.
The more he read, the worse Ye Yu’s expression became. The air around them seemed to freeze. Liu Qi felt a bone-chilling chill rise in his heart. He knew that Ye Yu was truly furious.
“Uncle Ye, it’s cold,” Li Yiqiu’s voice rang out.
Ye Yu took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and turned to say, “Little Qiu, why don’t you go and rest? ”
Li Yiqiu nodded obediently, and Ye Yu then summoned a maid to take her away.
“Wan Dynasty, what a Wan Dynasty! ” After Li Yiqiu left, Ye Yu said coldly.
Li Bufan was Ye Yu’s capable subordinate. During the suppression of the Great Yan feudal lords’ rebellion, he had saved Ye Yu’s life several times. Their relationship was already as close as brothers.
However, after Ye Yu resolutely went to the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring, Li Bufan left Great Yan and disappeared without a trace.
Unexpectedly, Li Bufan had gone to the Wan Dynasty and even had a daughter.
“Young Master, according to the information from the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion, this matter is likely a trap to lure you there,” Liu Qi said, frowning.
“I know,” Ye Yu’s tone was icy.
According to the contents of the jade slip, after Li Bufan went to the Wan Dynasty, he lived in hiding as an ordinary hunter for a period of time.
But the key is, the Wan Dynasty is located in Yunzhou. If that person wanted to harm Li Bufan, why would they leave Li Yiqiu alive?
And how could a little child like Li Yiqiu travel alone from Yunzhou to Qingzhou?
This is clearly a trap.
“Then what does the Young Master plan to do? ” Liu Qi asked.
Although the Wan Dynasty is not a super empire, it has a solid foundation, with Void Refinement Stage experts stationed within the empire.
“Send a message back to the Zi Xiao Sword Sect, and have the Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast go to the Wan Dynasty to meet us. If it can’t come, then ask Elder Ji to make the trip,” Ye Yu said firmly.
Liu Qi nodded upon hearing this, and didn’t say anything more.
Yunzhou, Wan Dynasty.
Wan Qingsong lay in a rocking chair, enjoying the service of the maids around him. After eating a spirit fruit, he said, “You’re telling the truth, right? As long as that Li Bufan is killed, Ye Yu will definitely come. ”
“Yes, Your Highness. I understand him. Li Bufan is very important to him. If Li Bufan dies, he will definitely come for revenge! ” Beside Wan Qingsong, a pretty woman said.
“I hope you’re not lying to me. Otherwise, you know the consequences. Even if you’re the Emperor’s most favored Imperial Consort, it’s no exception,” Wan Qingsong said with cold eyes.
The woman quickly shook her head and said, “Your Highness, rest assured. Now His Majesty is trying to refuse to hand over the resources of the Hundred Dynasties War. As long as Ye Yu is eliminated, Great Qin will no longer have the confidence to compete. Then the Crown Prince’s position in the Wan Dynasty will definitely be yours! ”
“And what about you? ” Wan Qingsong asked playfully.
“This servant is also yours, Your Highness. ” The woman nodded, pretending to be shy.
Hearing this, Wan Qingsong laughed loudly and embraced the woman, carrying her towards the backyard.
An hour later, the woman got up from Wan Qingsong’s side, tidied her disheveled clothes, and returned to her palace chambers.
As soon as she returned to her palace chambers, the woman took out a portrait. The person depicted on it was Ye Xuan.
“My child, mother almost failed to kill that Xu, but this time, I will definitely help you kill Ye Yu! ”
The woman was none other than Ye Xuan’s biological mother, Wei Qionghua.
When Ye Xuan was just born, Wei Qionghua secretly attacked Ye Yu and his mother for the sake of the Crown Prince’s position, and almost succeeded.
Later, Ye Zhentian found out and wanted to kill this wicked woman, but because of the newborn Ye Xuan, he only secretly expelled her from Great Yan.
Unexpectedly, Wei Qionghua came to Yunzhou and was favored by the Yunzhou Emperor, taken into the inner palace.
Over the years, Wei Qionghua had been plotting in the Wan Dynasty, intending to bring Ye Xuan over to succeed the throne when she held power.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan later became the Crown Prince of Great Yan and even entered the Nine Spirits Sword Sect. The matter was temporarily put on hold.
This marriage incident reached her ears, and she made up her mind to help Ye Xuan remove the obstacle, Ye Yu.
“Imperial Consort, what are you looking at? ” A sudden voice rang out. Wei Qionghua was startled and quickly put the scroll into her storage ring.
“Greetings, Your Majesty. ” Seeing the Wan Dynasty Sovereign standing before her, Wei Qionghua quickly bowed.
Wan Bosong didn’t pay attention to Wei Qionghua’s small movements, but sat directly on the couch and rubbed his temples.
“Your Majesty, is something bothering you? ” Wei Qionghua stepped forward and pressed Wan Bosong’s shoulders.
“Nothing, it’s just the matter of resources. I’ve thought about it, and I’ll hand them over. After all, the rules of the Hundred Dynasties War cannot be broken. If next time Qingsong that boy can get a good ranking, and someone cheats, we’ll also have a say. ”
Mentioning Wan Qingsong, Wan Bosong’s face was full of pride.
After all, his own son had recently entered the Transformation God Stage, and was one of the best in the young generation of Yunzhou.
Many old friends praised him, Wan Bosong, for having such a good son!
