Evil Emperor his wild consort (Regular Updates)

The Xia Family Arrives 2

Pang Ran and the Fifth Prince's faces turned ugly. It's true, the Xia family had complete control over the succession of the Imperial Throne, but the Imperial Family certainly were not the Xia family's dogs! Aside from the line of succession of the Imperial Throne, other matters were determined by the Imperial Family themselves. The Xia family has never interfered. Yet this guy has humiliated them to such a degree!

However, compared to Pang Ran's temper, the Fifth Prince was far more stable. His eyes looked solemnly at Xia Yu, not saying a word.

Over the years, he has learned to conceal his emotions, otherwise, he probably would have been assassinated a few times already...

Noticing Pang Ran's urge to step forward in anger, Gu Ruoyan raised her hand, blocking his way. Her clear, beautiful eyes fell on Xia Yu's face, smiling softly, "It would seem that even the Head of the Xia family has never made the Imperial Family of Black Tortoise country his watch dogs, could it be that you have greater rights that the Head of the Xia family himself? Or have you always been yearning for the position as the Head of the Xia family? Do you plan on going beyond the sacrificial altar and taking over their kitchen?"

Her smile was light and clear, her eyes like sharp rays of light stared straight at Xia Yu.

Now it was Xia Yu's face that had turned an ugly shade. He was merely distant relative and did not have a prominent position in the family. However, the young girl's words had undoubtedly pushed him to where the wind and waves are the fiercest. If Master Xia heard this, he would never let him hear the end of it! Evidently, he had underestimated this clever and eloquent woman.

"Hmph!"

Xia Yu showed his disagreement, curled his lips coldly and shot a glance towards Gu Ruoyun's calm face, "You're the girl who's impersonating as the owner of the Hundred Herb Hall? You're already powerless to defend yourself, and yet you're still involving yourself in this matter? You're truly reckless!"

At that very moment, Pang Ran's clenched fist began to shake, his heart was desperately worried over Pang Zihuang—they've been standing here very far too long. He did not know if his Imperial Father could hold on any longer.

"Let's go."

As if reading Pang Ran's thoughts, Gu Ruoyun's eyes swept briefly over Xia Yu's arrogant face, coldly turned her gaze away, and icily gave the order, "Baobao, if anyone dares to stand in my way, kill without mercy!"

Kill without mercy­­–

The three words spoken sounded like thunder, exploding beneath the skies, making Lin Yue's face, which was originally filled with hope, fall like dead ash.

He had initially thought that this imposter would have been afraid of the Xia family; instead, she didn't even bother with giving face to them.

This is it. We're truly finished... He thought hopelessly. No! I don't want to die! Especially not in this uncomfortable place!

"Fifth Prince, Lord General, both of you and this woman will die a horrible death! Haha, I've already seen your destinies! If you kill me now, your days in the future will be filled with immeasurable suffering!"

"And you, the soldiers and officials of Black Tortoise country, my heavenly eyes have seen it, it was the Sixth Prince and this woman who conspired to poison His Imperial Majesty! Are you really siding with the enemy? How could my words possibly be lies? If you are truly loyal to His Imperial Majesty, you will join me and kill this wicked woman and avenge His Imperial Majesty!"

"Since I can read fortunes, I know what happens next, and soon the Hundred Herb Hall and the powers of the Xia family will arrive! If you help me defeat this woman, I will ask them to take pity on you, and request for you to receive a string of pills from the Hundred Herb Hall! Do not be afraid of their words! This woman may have a Martial King level spiritual beast, but the most powerful men of the Xia family are arriving soon, you only need to hold on for a little longer, and then you will receive endless glory and riches!"

Since the altercation began, many people had gathered in the entire passageway.

That included guards and eunuchs, even officials who have heard of His Imperial Majesty's demise due to poisoning.

In their opinion, every word the Imperial Advisor says is the truth. Since he says that that woman must die, she must die! Comparatively speaking, they would be able to meet with the Hundred Herb Hall and the most powerful men of the Xia family!

Hence, they all thought, as long as we defeat her, we will receive countless glory and riches!

Even though Xia Yu felt that Lin Yu's words were disgraceful, once he thought of how Gu Ruoyun had embarrassed him, he decided not to dispose him, only staring coldly at her pure and beautiful figure.

"I promise in the name of the Xia family, Lin Yu speaks the truth! The Xia family will reward whoever that defeats this woman with countless benefits!"

Upon hearing Xia Yu's words, the crowd rolled up their sleeves for battle, staring greedily at Gu Ruoyun's face.

"Grr!"

Baobao let out a low growl, its vicious pupils swept across the faces of the people who were preparing to step forward and its eyes were filled with menace.

A spiritual beast at Martial King level was certainly a huge threat to them, but the thought of obtaining a pill and promised rewards, the crowd marched forward after retreating two steps back.

People forget their fears when faced with greed.

They believed that since the Imperial Advisor had already seen their futures, it proved that no harm would come to them. This woman is the one who will die. So why should they retreat?

"Hahaha!"

Witnessing the situation, Lin Yue laughed loudly, his eyes were burning with sinister venom, coldly focusing his attention on the pure and beautiful figure.

"Damned girl, still remember my prophecy for you? Your entire family will die a horrible death because of you! Only you will survive, and end up sold off to become someone's concubine, and live the rest of your life in suffering! This prophecy will soon be fulfilled. So what if you had the General's protection, or a Martial King spiritual beast in your possession? Can you oppose the colossal powers of the Hundred Herb Hall and the Xia family?"

Death? That would be too easy for the girl! He thought. Since she was willing to throw away her own life by helping that good-for-nothing Pang Ran, she must bear the consequences! In order for everyone to understand the accuracy of his prediction, this woman must be sold off to become someone's concubine! Haven't I been doing this for many years?

From the very beginning, in order to be seen as a living and breathing celestial being, he had always predicted the fortunes of others, and then sneakily made his own predictions come true. He has even gone so far as to wipe out a few families for this! Of course, those people were innocent, but so what? For the sake of his rank and title, it didn't matter how many people had to die.

True enough, after everything he had done, he had become the Imperial Advisor of Black Tortoise Country, respected by all, because his predictions were never wrong!

Lin Yu smiled sinisterly as if he had already seen Gu Ruoyun's exceptionally miserable face, while he was the Imperial Advisor, set up on high, receiving high esteem and admiration from the entire world.

"Are you quite certain that the Hundred Herb Hall would lay their hands on me?"

Right when Lin Yue was indulging in flights of fantasy, a sound of light laughter was heard, and his heart thumped. He quickly regained his senses, smiled coldly and said, "Of course!"

"Oh, really?"

Gu Ruoyun smiled faintly, her finger stroking her chin, "Since when has the Hundred Herb Hall begun to listen to your commands? I've never heard of it. Unless you're implying that the Hundred Herb Hall actually belongs to you?"
