Evil Emperor’s Wild Consort

“Yes, Master.”

Xunfeng and Moyu simultaneously joined their fists, bowed and replied respectfully.

Since Gu Ruoyun had now moved out of the Hundred Herb Hall, both Ling Yu and Zuo Shangchen were not able to find her. Zuo Shangchen said nothing and simply turned to leave. However, Ling Yu was not as easy to get rid of.

“I have the imperial concubine’s imperial decree! Get Gu Ruoyun to come out here to receive it, immediately!”

Ling Yu raised her chin as her greedy eyes landed on the many valuable herbs within the Hundred Herb Hall.

If I could obtain the Hundred Herb Hall, the Crown Prince would surely take notice of me. From then on, the next logical move would be to become the Crown Prince’s consort and someday, I would become the Empress, the mother of the nation.

“She’s not in the Hundred Herb Hall. You’ve come to the wrong place.”

Elder Yu’s expression darkened. He replied expressionlessly.

“I don’t care where she is. Get her out here to see me this instant!” Ling Yu smiled coldly, “Unless she intends to disobey the imperial decree! By then, even the Hundred Herb Hall wouldn’t be able to protect her! Furthermore, the imperial concubine has made another decree. Seeing as the Hundred Herb Hall is giving shelter to my grandfather’s murderer, they are hereby sentenced to punishment. However, the imperial concubine is merciful. If you hand over the reigns of the Hundred Herb Hall, then we’ll leave you with your lives.”

Of course, that last sentence came entirely from Ling Yu.

She had been eyeing Hundred Herb Hall for way longer than just a day or two. So why would she not use this opportunity to steal the Hundred Herb Hall for herself? Even if the imperial concubine got angry at her at a later time, she could offer her the precious herbs that were held within the walls of the Hundred Herb Hall to pacify her anger.

Ling Yu had it all planned out perfectly. Unfortunately, it easier said than done…

“Heh.” Elder Yu smiled coldly, “Such savagery at such a young age, little girl. I’d like to see how exactly do you plan on taking all of our lives!”

Having lived for so many years, this was the first time he had met such a courageous little girl. Even though the Hundred Herb Hall now belonged to Gu Ruoyun, he was still a member of the Dongfang family.

This little imperial concubine’s niece wants to kill me? He thought. Haha, it was ridiculous.

“You old fart! You’re just a measly merchant and yet you have the gall to disobey the imperial powers? My aunt is the imperial concubine! Why would she fear a mere merchant like you? I’d advise you to hand over the Hundred Herb Hall or you won’t be able to continue your stay in the Azure Dragon Country.”

Ling Yu could tell that Elder Yu held a position of power and respect in the Hundred Herb Hall. So, she assumed that he was the real owner of the Hundred Herb Hall who was working behind the scenes! She did not even consider the possibility that Gu Ruoyun was the real owner. After all, Gu Ruoyun was only a little girl. In the days when the Hundred Herb Hall was built, she had yet to be born.

“Great… Just great! Haha!” Elder Yu grew angry but laughed instead. His eyes were set ablaze with a fiery flame as he said, “I’d like to see how you’re going to do it. Show me how you’ll be driving me out of Azure Dragon Country!”

“I tried to warn you, but I see that you’re not going to heed my warning.”

Ling Yu sneered, waved her hand, and gave an order to the people behind her, “Men! Take this old fart and bring him to the imperial concubine.”

However, just as she had finished speaking, the old man’s figure suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Ling Yu…

Before Ling Yu even managed to react, Elder Yu’s palm landed fiercely on her chest, causing her entire body to fly backward and hit the ground with a loud thud. Then, a voice filled with murderous intent rang in everyone’s ears.

“Get out of my sight!!!”

The old man straightened his long sleeves with a flick of his wrist, his elderly face cold as ice.

“Cough, cough!” Ling Yu spat out two mouthfuls of blood before spitting at him while she gritted her teeth, “You old fart… Just you wait… You’ll pay for this!”

She hurriedly stood up, and left, with her tail between her legs towards the direction that she had initially arrived from…
