Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife

Chapter 797: Preparing a Grand Gift for Him!

All around was solemn, with all things silent.

No one dared to utter a word; now, whoever dared to speak an extra word would face "death"!

Not everyone was like Lin Xiang, with an unyielding spirit unafraid of death. It was already hard enough for them to be placed under house arrest in Qianyang Palace, with no chance for further demands.

The eunuch left, smug, seeing that they had fallen silent.

Once the eunuch and palace maids had left, a few Ministers whispered angrily, "Those spineless bastards, scum, dared... to so ruthlessly murder Lin Xiang, truly unforgivable!"

"Yes, they will be judged sooner or later!"

"..."

The few Ministers roared, but their words sounded impotent and defeated.

Hard, too hard; to defeat Rong Si and reclaim the power for Your Majesty, it was nearly impossible.

So they could only shout a few lines, unable to do anything else.

"Your Majesty..."

One Minister looked at Rong Zhuo, eyes filled with helplessness and bitterness.

If the Da Liang were to fall into the hands of Rong Si and You Su, it would truly be on the brink of ruin.

Rong Zhuo looked up, gazing at the scenery outside the window, and softly said, "Now, we can only pin our hopes on cousin, hoping... he can successfully find cousin-in-law. Only they can unravel You Su’s conspiracy."

The Ministers spoke no further, standing quietly aside, with some going to gather Lin Xiang’s body.

...

In those days, Li Qingmu and Long Yue had been staying in the underground chamber beneath a cave.

You’er often went up to check the situation, finding that those traitors of Tianxing Pavilion were still guarding, having never left.

This was troublesome. Were they trapped with no way out?

"Ah!"

You’er looked at Li Qingmu and Long Yue with a worried expression, pointing upward.

"It’s okay, there will be a way out, in a few more days."

Long Yue’s injury hadn’t completely healed, making it unsuitable for her to leave.

Fortunately, everything was available here, even fabrics, so there was no need to worry about changing clothes.

"Ah, I’m so bored!"

Broken Jade had been squatting in the chamber for days, feeling very agitated.

He was a restless person, always wanting to wander around and play. Being suddenly confined made him very uncomfortable.

However, Zhe Feng remained calm; he was a person who loved peace. Being from the Tianquan Lineage, he usually practiced martial arts, and this dull lifestyle had already lasted for decades; he was used to it.

He turned to look at Broken Jade, frowning slightly, "Stay calm and wait, stop complaining, practice martial arts more so that when you meet You Su, you’ll have the ability to protect yourself!"

Zhe Feng’s words were earnest, but Broken Jade wasn’t pleased, "Hey, Zhe Feng, are you looking down on me? Even if You Su were here, escaping would be easy for me, okay?"

"No, you probably wouldn’t even take a step before You Su kills you."

"You... this madman, would you die if you didn’t undermine me?"

Broken Jade was furious, almost jumping up and cursing.

The two of them were bickering noisily, arguing incessantly, eventually waking Yaoyao, who was already asleep. The little one was disturbed and immediately became upset, puckering her lips and wailing loudly.

"Enough, the two of you!"

Li Qingmu finally couldn’t stand it anymore. They were living separately since there were many stone chambers, so each found a place to rest.

But even though they lived separately, the stone house’s acoustics were better, occasionally generating a buzzing echo, making it even more annoying.

Li Qingmu himself didn’t mind, but crucially, he had his wife and children with him. He couldn’t let them suffer!

"Hey, Li Qingmu, when can we get out of here?"

Broken Jade continued wailing, but not as exaggerated as before.

"Soon."

"Soon? How soon? Don’t fool me!"

"Not interested in fooling you, you’re unworthy."

Li Qingmu’s answer was maddeningly frustrating, making Broken Jade want to hit him.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t beat him, so he had to endure!

"We have to wait until his wife’s postnatal month is over to leave."

Zhe Feng, somewhat knowledgeable about this aspect, explained to him.

Broken Jade reflected a forlorn expression, but respecting women, he could only continue to endure.

It was truly painfully hard to endure!

Thus, after thirty-five long days, they finally prepared to leave.

At this time, the traitors from Tianxing Pavilion were still there!

But it no longer mattered.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A rumbling sound rang out, the opening beneath the stone bed split open, and Li Qingmu rushed out first.

"Who’s there?"

Outside the cave, upon hearing some sounds, two Tianxing Pavilion traitors cried out in alarm, ready to turn and investigate. However, a shadow flashed by, accompanied by a bright gleam of cold steel, and they felt a chill at their necks before their consciousness started fading.

"Thud, thud!"

The two fell forward, blood gushing from their necks!

Regarding these evil captors of Long Yue and her daughter, Li Qingmu felt no pity or hesitation, killing them directly. Long Yue and her daughter then emerged outside, escorted by Zhe Feng and Broken Jade.

"Waa, waa, waa..."

The light outside was blinding. Although Long Yue had covered the child’s eyes with cloth, she still cried heartbreakingly.

"There, there, don’t cry."

Long Yue hurriedly comforted the child.

Ah, while Yaoyao fussed, she wasn’t as quiet as her brother, for this little girl liked nothing more than crying, making everyone’s head ache.

"Let’s go find an inn to settle, and then we’ll head straight to the palace!"

Having lived in the cave for so long, they definitely needed a good clean-up. Thus, they quickly made their way down the mountain and rested briefly at an inn.

Meanwhile, they gathered some information.

And the news they brought back was quite shocking!

"Ascension ceremony?"

"Yes, three days from now is the new Emperor’s ascension ceremony. It’s said to be someone outside the Rong Imperial Family!"

Zhe Feng relayed the news meticulously, then saw Li Qingmu fall into contemplation.

"Outside the Rong Imperial Family... yet able to bypass Rong Si, then apart from You Su, it can’t be anyone else!"

"You Su... does he want to become the Emperor of Liang Country?"

Broken Jade looked astonished, "Being a State Preceptor isn’t good enough for him? Why does he want to be Emperor? Your mother... would she agree? Oh, right, they’re on the same front, of course, she would agree."

However, it still made no sense!

What exactly is Rong Si plotting? She can’t possibly be surrendering the throne so easily.

Oh yes, the Soul Enchanting Soup, could it be the reason for the Soul Enchanting Soup?

Indeed, only this item could make Rong Si yield the throne so obediently, considering that when Li Qingmu was Emperor, Rong Si had control of most of the power.

"Ha!" Li Qingmu chuckled softly, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile, "If he wants to become this Emperor, he must see if he has the capability! Three days later? Very well, by then, my disciple will have prepared a special gift for him!"
