Volume 1_Chapter 259: Is he better looking than this King?

As this voice came, everyone looked toward the doorway.

And then, everyone saw Yun Qiyue and Qi Laotaijun walking in.

Qi Taihou, who had been very tough just a moment ago, had her expression change abruptly when she saw the two.

Especially since the Yun family's Old Master was following behind them.

For a moment, Qi Taihou only felt everything go black before her eyes, and she could no longer be tough.

With the appearance of Yun Qiyue and Qi Laotaijun, everyone became aware of what Qi Taihou had done.

And the reason why Qi Laotaijun had also been imprisoned together with them, besides Xuanyuan Kun wanting the Sheng family father and son to become the vanguard to force Ye Lanjue to abdicate, was actually another reason: Qi Taihou had harbored hatred for Qi Laotaijun for many years.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

You must know that Qi Taihou had lost her mother at a young age, and Qi Laotaijun's biological mother was the second wife of the Qi family.

Back then, Lady Qi had cultivated Qi Taihou with great care; even her own daughter, Qi Laotaijun, did not receive as good treatment as Qi Taihou.

In those years, the relationship between Qi Taihou and Qi Laotaijun was famous in Jingcheng.

Later, one entered the palace and became an imperial concubine, and later became the Empress Dowager, while the other married Sheng Mingzhi; both sisters had good destinations, which made many people envious.

But now, Qi Taihou actually said she had harbored hatred for Qi Laotaijun for many years.

The reason for this was actually because Qi Laotaijun was Lady Qi's biological daughter, and added to the fact that Qi Taihou had not had a very good life in the palace in the first half of her life, while everything for Qi Laotaijun had been too smooth.

Many people just felt incredibly speechless.

After all, Qi Taihou was the typical kind of person who wouldn't allow others to live better than her.

Moreover, Lady Qi had been so good to Qi Taihou, yet in the end, Qi Taihou harbored hatred for Lady Qi's biological daughter; wasn't this just like an ingrate?

Ye Lanjue was not interested in Qi Taihou's mess at all; seeing that Yun Qiyue was fine, Ye Lanjue felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Don't look at Ye Lanjue as someone who wasn't afraid of threats, but he couldn't help but worry about Yun Qiyue in his heart.

Ye Lanjue's men were also secretly looking for Yun Qiyue, but the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had both been captured, yet Yun Qiyue's whereabouts had not been found.

Now, he could finally breathe a complete sigh of relief.

"Come here." Ye Lanjue spoke, saying to Yun Qiyue. No

Yun Qiyue, in front of everyone, walked very obediently to Ye Lanjue's side.

As for the corpses and blood on the ground, for Yun Qiyue, that was simply not an issue.

It was just that the smell in the air was truly too unpleasant, which made Yun Qiyue unable to help but furrow her brows.

When Yun Qiyue walked to Ye Lanjue's side, Ye Lanjue took her hand directly and pulled Yun Qiyue to sit on the dragon throne.

Such behavior made many people's hearts surge, and Xuanyuan Kun was even more furious.

But, so what?

Ye Lanjue did not put Xuanyuan Kun in his eyes at all.

After the two sat down, Ye Lanjue began to deal with today's matters.

Only to see Ye Lanjue scan the crowd lightly, and finally, Ye Lanjue's light gaze landed directly on a young man.

This young man was one of Xuanyuan Kun's sons, the sixth in line, named Xuanyuan Ze.

In the royal family, Xuanyuan Ze was no different from a transparent person.

His biological mother was a foot-washing maid who became pregnant with him because Xuanyuan Kun was drunk.

However, because his biological mother's status was too low, even though she gave birth to an imperial prince, she did not rise in status because of her son; instead, because the child was taken away after birth, she fell ill from longing and died in depression.

And the Sixth Prince, Xuanyuan Ze, although raised by a concubine, his adoptive mother also died of illness, and in the entire royal family, he was the most cautious, usually not showing his face, and lived a very difficult life.

So, seeing Ye Lanjue look at him, he was nervous in his heart.

"Come out." Ye Lanjue spat out two words lightly, his tone indifferent.

Although Xuanyuan Ze did not know Ye Lanjue's purpose in calling him, he did not dare to disobey Ye Lanjue's words and walked out somewhat tremblingly.

"Come here." Ye Lanjue said two words again.

Although Xuanyuan Ze hesitated a bit, he still stepped forward.

Xuanyuan Ze kept walking forward, but Ye Lanjue did not tell him to stop, so he could only climb the steps and walk to the front of the dragon throne.

When he was only two steps away from the dragon throne, under Ye Lanjue's gaze, he did not dare to continue forward.

And at this time, Ye Lanjue spoke once again.

"Turn around."

Xuanyuan Ze was still very obedient and turned around.

Inside, until this moment, he was still very uneasy, but he tried his best to steady his mind and stood straight.

However, even with Xuanyuan Ze's performance, he did not win a single glance from Ye Lanjue.

On the contrary, Yun Qiyue, looking at Xuanyuan Ze, began to guess what the Imperial Uncle was going to do, and already had the answer.

Moreover, Yun Qiyue felt excited because of her own guess.

Little did she know, Ye Lanjue, who was preparing to announce something, suddenly turned to look at Yun Qiyue.

The light in Yun Qiyue's eyes was very obvious, which made Ye Lanjue very dissatisfied.

"You seem very happy." The voice clearly carried ill intent.

Hearing this, Yun Qiyue nodded, "Naturally happy."

If her guess was correct, wouldn't that be something to celebrate?

However, Ye Lanjue misunderstood, and the cold air around his body began to be released without cost.

Xuanyuan Ze, standing in front, only felt his back go cold; just a moment ago he could try his best to steady his mind and stand there, but at this moment, his hands and feet couldn't help but tremble.

With such coldness, Yun Qiyue was not a block of wood, so naturally, she couldn't help but feel it.

But, why?

Yun Qiyue looked at Ye Lanjue with some confusion.

And at this time, the officials below, although curious about the reason Ye Lanjue called Xuanyuan Ze up, also felt the sudden low pressure, so at this very moment, no one dared to look up.

Except for the Nanli National Preceptor Ouyang Xi, who had never been affected in the crowd.

At this very moment, Ouyang Xi's gaze had been on Yun Qiyue, never moving away.

It was just that his expression was somewhat unfathomable.

"Is he better looking than this King?"

Ye Lanjue asked.

Using a voice that only the two of them could hear, but the voice carried pressure.

Him?

Who?

Yun Qiyue was very puzzled.

However, to Ye Lanjue's words, Yun Qiyue also answered truthfully, "I don't know."

As the words fell, Yun Qiyue felt Ye Lanjue's gaze become even more unfriendly.

If it were anyone else, they would have been scared silly long ago.

But, Yun Qiyue was not just anyone.

Moreover, the relationship between Yun Qiyue and Ye Lanjue was already not what it was before.

So, after Yun Qiyue felt Ye Lanjue's displeasure, she only said, "I don't even know what the Imperial Uncle looks like, how can I compare?"

When saying this, Yun Qiyue also blinked innocently.

Although she didn't know who the Imperial Uncle wanted to compare with, she truly did not know what the Imperial Uncle looked like. ===== CHAPTER 260 =====
