Chapter 149 – Can You Escape? (1)

Zhao Yunqin had only just woken up from her abrupt shock and she already heard such stimulating words. Immediately, she felt her chest tighten, as if breathing had become difficult and it hurt to inhale.

However, this was only the beginning. Mo Linyuan glanced at the medicine bowl that had already cooled down and said with an ambiguous smile.

“Ah, my memory is really fuzzy these days–my royal grandmother hasn’t drunk her medicine yet? Come, this grandson will feed you.”

Hearing this, one of Zhao Yunqin’s trusted aides rushed over to grab the bowl. “Your Majesty, this medicine is already cold, allow this servant to change it…” but before she could finish speaking, the rest of her words gradually died down as she was stared down by Mo Linyuan’s ice-cold eyes.

He pinched the edge of the bowl and jestingly smiled at her. “Did I allow you to speak? Offending this emperor for a small matter, do you want to die?” It was only a few threatening words, but they made even the tip of her fingertips chill in terror!

Seeing this, Zhao Yunqin looked to the people around her for help, but they all only lowered their heads in fear. At the moment, the young Emperor’s killing intent was too strong, thus they all had a feeling as if they had been frozen in place.

“Come now, royal grandmother. Drink some medicine.”

Zhao Yunqin currently didn’t know what kind of attitude she should have facing Mo Linyuan. For these past few months, the youth in front of her had constantly opposed her, which made her angry and vexed all the time—she wished she could strangle him!

Nevertheless, when she did make her move, Mo Linyuan was still standing even if she had utilized all her strength and methods; she originally looked down on him a little, but now– all that was left was fear.

“What are you trying to do?”

Zhao Yunqin slapped away the spoon that Mo Linyuan reached out towards her and angrily, fearfully said, “So what if it was This Dowager who did it? Do you want to settle debts? Hah! Don’t forget–this one still has the five hundred thousand army! Of the three great families of the Mo country, who wouldn’t listen to the commands of those above them? Only a few inner force experts died; with this setback you think you are already on This Dowager’s level?”

These blatant words had stolen all the limelight; it was naturally breaking decorum. Everyone looked in horror towards Mo Linyuan for his expression, only to see him listening very calmly. His phoenix eyes were half squinted, his exquisite face still carrying a hint of a smile.

“You’re done?” He pursed his lips slightly, looking harmless. “Drink the medicine after you’ve finished speaking. Those five hundred people are nothing at all–I have already forgotten about them.”

Nothing at all? Zhao Yunqin’s heart felt even worse! The five hundred people who died were all genuine inner force masters! And deathsworns at that! These assassins had been training for years, and it was a feat to even get ahold of all 500. Now that everything had been destroyed, Mo Linyuan still treated the matter as something so casual in his eyes?

In the midst of her irate thoughts, she then heard Mo Linyuan continue—apparently, he was still unfinished with his tirade.

“Royal Grandmother has been unconscious for a few days, I’m afraid she is ignorant of the current affairs.” He held the medicine bowl as he slowly spoke, “Although, to my royal grandmother the death of a few inner force masters is a minor deal, on my end, it took a lot of effort to gather more than two hundred inner force masters. After that…when the three families went to quietly collect their own people’s corpses, I sent people to attack them. Now, don’t you think there should only be a few survivors, right?

Look at it this way: first, you find them to borrow their soldiers for the purpose of getting rid of me, but then, you betrayed them and slaughtered all of the deathsworn you have ‘borrowed’, greatly weakening their force. Right now…who knows how much they hate you.”

It took Zhao Yunqin awhile to understand what Mo Linyuan was implying. He was actually saying that he had found someone to pretend to be her man, and while she was unconscious, had him attack the people of the three great families to create the impression that she had destroyed the bridge after crossing the river*?!

*T/N: turning her back on their alliance after it has served her purpose.
