Chapter 55 Emperor Qing's Scheme
It was as if the peerless expert who had just severely injured a ninth-rank master with a single move was not him at all.
Li Yunrui looked at Ye Tian, smiled dreamily, her eyes filled with endless love and pride.
"My God, you will never let your mother down."
···········
Watching Hong Sixiang being carried away by his men, Li Yunrui's worry and tension finally vanished completely.
Instead, there was endless ecstasy, and a deep-seated, morbid, and obsessive love for Ye Tian!
She took Ye Tian back.
Subsequently,
Her beautiful phoenix eyes, like burning flames, were fixed on Ye Tian, as if she wanted to devour him completely!
"Tian'er,"
Li Yunrui's voice carried a hint of husky allure, as well as an irresistible magic.
She slowly walked towards Ye Tian. Her exquisite figure, wrapped in gorgeous palace attire, appeared even more graceful and charming.
The air was filled with a captivating fragrance, and a faint, almost imperceptible... The scent.
"My goodness, you were absolutely amazing just now!"
Li Yunrui walked up to Ye Tian, stretched out her slender hand, and gently stroked his cheek, her eyes filled with undisguised infatuation and possessiveness!
"Mother, you startled me!"
Her voice was charming and seductive, with a hint of deliberate coquetry and teasing.
Looking at her alluring eyes and fragrant breath, Ye Tian felt a sense of helplessness.
He knew that his crazy foster mother was probably about to start causing trouble again.
"Mother, you flatter me." Ye Tian tried to remain calm and distance himself from Li Yunrui.
However, Li Yunrui seemed oblivious to his intentions, and instead became even bolder, pressing her soft and elastic body tightly against Ye Tian's!
"Tian'er,"
Her red lips brushed against Ye Tian's ear, her breath sweet as orchids, her voice filled with endless allure.
"You must have been terrified just now, right?"
"Don't be afraid, Mother. Let me comfort you."
As she spoke, she stretched out her arms and hugged Ye Tian's neck tightly, then pressed her glossy red lips against his once again!
boom!
In Ye Tian's mind, it was as if a thunderbolt had exploded once again!
He felt that all his rationality and all his defenses had completely collapsed at this moment!
Li Yunrui's kiss was more passionate, bolder, and more frantic than ever before!
An indescribable electric current surged from the soles of Ye Tian's feet straight to the top of his head!
It made his whole body feel numb and his blood rush!
He could even clearly feel the primal urge within him, which had been suppressed for so long, raging wildly, wanting to completely possess the beauty before him!
However, at the very last moment before he was about to lose control!
Ye Tian suddenly bit his tongue!
The intense pain instantly brought him to his senses!
He used all his strength to push Li Yunrui away from him, and then, looking disheveled, he stumbled back several steps, creating a safe distance between them.
"Mother!"
Ye Tian's voice was slightly hoarse, and also carried a hint of anger!
"Please, have some self-respect!"
He looked at the disheveled woman before him, her eyes alluring, her face flushed with desire, and felt a mixture of helplessness and a touch of disgust.
He knew he couldn't go on like this any longer!
Otherwise, sooner or later, he will completely fall into this woman's arms!
Li Yunrui was pushed away by Ye Tian, a hint of hurt and resentment flashing in her eyes.
But she quickly regained her languid and charming demeanor, gazing at Ye Tian with a lingering, meaningful smile.
"Tian'er,"
Her voice had a slightly husky, alluring quality.
Are you afraid?
"Are you afraid you'll fall in love with your mother?"
"Are you afraid of becoming trapped in your mother's gentle embrace, unable to extricate yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian felt a chill run down his spine!
He knew that this woman was too smart!
That's terrifying!
She seemed to have seen through the deepest fears and desires hidden in his heart!
"Mother is joking," Ye Tian said coldly, trying to remain calm. "I have important matters to attend to, so I must take my leave now."
After saying that, he stopped looking at Li Yunrui, turned around, and fled the bedchamber, which was full of temptation and danger, in a disheveled state.
Li Yunrui watched Ye Tian's retreating figure, a smug and alluring smile appearing on her face.
She stuck out her delicate tongue and gently licked her red lips, which still carried the scent of Ye Tian, her eyes filled with endless infatuation and possessiveness.
"My goodness!"
She murmured to herself, her voice filled with undeniable confidence.
"Do you think you can escape?"
"Heh, how naive."
"You'll be mine sooner or later."
"You will never escape my grasp!"
Her laughter echoed for a long time in the empty bedchamber, filled with a chilling madness and obsession.
·······
The news that Ye Tian had severely injured Hong Sixiang with a single move at the Princess's residence and displayed terrifying Grandmaster-level strength spread like wildfire throughout the capital at an astonishing speed!
In an instant, the government and the public were shaken, and the whole country was in an uproar!
A grandmaster at the age of thirteen!
This is simply unprecedented and will never be repeated!
This news shocked and disbelieved not only ordinary officials and citizens.
It instilled a deep sense of fear and unease in those who had participated in or knew the inside story of the Taiping Villa massacre!
.
Deep within the palace, in the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
When the Empress Dowager learned of this news from her trusted eunuch, her wrinkled yet well-maintained face turned deathly pale!
The prayer beads in her hand, due to excessive fear, fell to the ground with a "clatter" and shattered into pieces!
"What did you say?!"
The Empress Dowager's voice trembled slightly, almost uncontrollably.
"That Ye Tian, he... he's actually a Grandmaster too?!"
She simply couldn't believe her ears!
Back then, that vixen Ye Qingmei already made her feel uneasy, as if she had thorns in her back!
Now, Ye Qingmei's son is even more monstrous and terrifying than his mother!
A grandmaster at the age of thirteen!
This is simply defying the heavens!
The thought that she had participated in the conspiracy against Ye Qingmei filled the Empress Dowager's heart with endless fear and regret!
She was afraid, afraid that Ye Tian would uncover the truth of what happened back then!
She was afraid, afraid that Ye Tian would avenge his mother!
"Quickly, go quickly and invite His Majesty here!"
The Empress Dowager gave the order in a trembling voice, her face filled with fear and unease.
She knew that this time, she was probably really in big trouble.
.
Inside the Cold Palace.
Empress Guo, who had long been banished to the cold palace, was emaciated and mentally unstable, was completely terrified when she heard the news!
Her cloudy eyes were filled with unbelievable fear and despair!
"Ye Tian, Grandmaster,"
She muttered to herself, her voice hoarse and filled with fear.
"No, impossible, this is impossible!"
She couldn't accept that Ye Qingmei's son, whom she had once regarded as a thorn in her side, had grown to such a terrifying level!
These days, she has been having nightmares every night, always dreaming that Ye Qingmei has turned into a vengeful ghost and come to take her life!
And now, Ye Qingmei's son has also acquired terrifying strength that could easily crush her!
How could she not be terrified and utterly horrified?
"ah--!"
Empress Guo, the deposed empress, suddenly let out a piercing scream, then her eyes rolled back and she fainted from fright.
She knew that she was completely finished.
What awaits her is an endless torment and revenge that is even more terrible than death!
.
The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study.
As Emperor Qing listened to Hong Sixiang's detailed report on Ye Tian's strength, his face darkened to the point that it was almost dripping with water!
His deep eyes were filled with disbelief and shock, as well as a deep sense of apprehension!
"Grandmaster,"
"A grandmaster at the age of thirteen,"
Emperor Qing chewed on these words repeatedly, his voice filled with endless complexity and a hint of barely perceptible fear!
He knew that he had ultimately underestimated that child!
He thought Ye Tian was just a young genius with some talent and a bit of cleverness.
But I never expected that he would be so monstrous!
This is practically the second Ye Qingmei!
Do not!
She is even more terrifying than Ye Qingmei back then!
Even more difficult to control!
"Your Majesty," Hong Sixiang said, his voice trembling as he clutched his broken leg, "this Ye Tian is truly terrifying!"
"He is not only incredibly powerful, but also ruthless and lawless!"
"Even this old servant nearly lost his life!"
"If we allow him to continue growing like this, he will likely become a major threat to our Qing Kingdom sooner or later!"
"Your Majesty, we must find a way to eliminate him completely as soon as possible!"
His voice was filled with resentment and fear.
Upon hearing this, a cold killing intent flashed in Emperor Qing's eyes!
Of course he knew that Ye Tian was a huge threat!
He certainly wanted to nip this threat in the bud!
but,
How easy is that?!
A grandmaster at the age of thirteen!
Such talent and such strength are simply unheard of and unseen!
You want to kill him?
Perhaps only by taking action myself will there be a slight chance!
but,
Once he makes a move, it means that he will completely break ties with Ye Tian and the mysterious forces behind him!
He couldn't predict what terrifying consequences it would trigger!
not to mention,
Beside Ye Tian was a mysterious woman who was also a Grandmaster!
And, Wu Zhu, whose whereabouts are mysterious and whose strength is unfathomable!
If they join forces,
Even Emperor Qing would probably have to think twice before acting!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Emperor Qing roared madly in his heart, his face filled with barely suppressed rage and a trace of helplessness.
He felt as if he had been outmaneuvered once again by Ye Qingmei's son!
This Ye Tian is even more cunning and troublesome than his mother!
"Your Majesty," Hong Sixiang said cautiously, looking at Emperor Qing's furious expression, "you don't need to worry too much."
"That Ye Tian, although powerful, is not invincible."
"As long as we plan carefully and deal with it cautiously, we will definitely be able to find a way to restrain him."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing took a deep breath and tried to calm his agitated emotions.
He knew that what Hong Sixiang said at this moment was not entirely unreasonable.
Although Ye Tian is a prodigy, he is not an invincible god.
Every human being has weaknesses.
What he needs is time.
We need time to thoroughly investigate Ye Tian and the mysterious forces behind him.
It also takes time to plan and strategize properly.
Lay down a net big enough to capture Ye Tian and everyone connected to him!
"Issue my decree."
Emperor Qing's voice returned to its usual calm and profound tone.
