The Tales of a Blessed Daughter - Chapter 177

Chapter 177: The Emperor Who Reigned the Shortest

The old man in white hurriedly explained, “We did not harm Princess Consort Guang Pingwang. We have been treating her well. We will release her now.”

He originally wanted to use Su Yan to threaten Guang Pingwang, but after personally enduring his anger, the old man in white did not have any thoughts of resisting.

Anyone who had never experienced the pressure of death would never understand.

Gu Ruoyun raised the bow in his hand. His expression was ice-cold and he was unmoved.

Suddenly, a wave of white smoke filled the air and enveloped the white-robed men.

Gu Ruoyun aimed his bow and arrow at a single direction and shot it straight out.

With the sound of the arrow piercing through flesh, the white smoke disappeared. At the same time, only Nalan Chen was left on the ground in the chamber. All the white-robed men had disappeared.

The general took a step forward and asked, “His Royal Highness, we’ve discovered a secret passage. Should we send our troops to chase after them?”

Gu Ruoyun rubbed his bow and arrow and replied, “No need, withdraw our troops.”

A weak voice suddenly came from the ground.

“Save… me…”

Nalan Chen tried his best to keep his eyes open and extended his finger in Gu Ruoyun’s direction.

Gu Ruoyun mocked him for not being able to see the situation clearly and turned to leave.

The soldiers behind him also did not look at the Emperor on the ground. Their faith had always been Gu Ruoyun.

Nalan Chen could only watch as they walked away. In the end, he spat out a mouthful of blood and was completely silent.

The white-robed men who had escaped had left through a tunnel built by the previous dynasty.

As soon as he came out, Liu Runyan spat out a mouthful of blood.

There was an arrow stuck in his chest.

The people around him cried out in panic, “Young master, hold on, we’ll treat you right away.”

The old man in white said, “We still need to find a place to hide as soon as possible. With the power of Guang Pingwang, they’ll find us soon.”

Liu Runyan smiled bitterly, “No need, he won’t chase us.”

He was a martial arts practitioner and the arrow in his heart was only a little away from his heart. He would not naively think that Gu Ruoyun had made a mistake.

This was a warning. If he had not sent Su Yan back, it would have been impossible for them to escape.

The old man in white still did not understand.

Liu Runyan shook his head and said, “Now that we have our revenge, don’t mention this matter again in the future.”

The old man wanted to say something but the threat that Gu Ruoyun had brought them was still lingering in his heart. He did not say anything else.

The doctor of the white-robed man walked out and looked at the arrow on his chest. He said, “Young master, there’s poison on this arrow.”

Even though he said this, his expression was not one of panic. Instead, there was a hint of confusion.

Liu Runyan asked, “What kind of poison?”

The doctor said strangely, “This poison is not poisonous. It will only leave a scar on the wound.”

Liu Runyan suddenly laughed. Guang Pingwang was really holding a grudge.

At the same time, he was also shocked by his scheme. He had probably already plotted against him when he appeared on that day.

He could not help but rejoice at his choice. Such an enemy was too terrifying.

The Imperial Kingdom’s new Emperor, who had just taken office less than three months ago, had passed away.

In the morning court, the ministers were all standing below, but there was no one on the throne.

The ministers were all discussing among themselves. There was no one left in the imperial family. There was only a princess left. What should they do with the throne.

Everyone’s eyes turned to look at Guang Pingwang.

Let’s not say that there was no emperor. Even if there was, Guang Pingwang had the final say.

So when the Emperor suddenly passed away, everyone was only discussing but not panicking.

To put it bluntly, Gu Ruoyun was the uncrowned king in their hearts.

Gu Ruoyun did not speak. His expression was indifferent and he did not seem to care about the affairs of the world.

Old Master Su was pushed out by someone. After all, they were related by marriage.

Old Master Su walked forward and bowed. Gu Ruoyun stretched out his hand and supported him. He knew why he had come and asked, “Who said that the Imperial Kingdom does not have a prince?”
