Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1124: Yun Jiu

Yun Mengyao was clearly uninterested, yawning and casually saying, "We're all locked up, whatever happens outside has nothing to do with us. Just relax, maybe the Emperor kicked the bucket, it's no big deal."

Yun Susu: "..."

Although she knew Yun Mengyao was speaking without thinking, that was still her father after all.

"Mengyao, actually my father has a lot of helplessness, even though he holds great power..."

"I don't care about him; I only know he's a greedy, fickle old lecher. Plus, he disgusts me."

Yun Susu: "..."

Of course, Yun Susu knew how much Yun Mengyao detested the Emperor. When the Emperor rewarded women, it was always like that, either with gold and silver treasures or with a title. But clearly, Yun Mengyao loathed it.

Yun Susu had nothing more to say.

"Then rest early! I'm just worried that if Qin Yi sees we haven't returned, he might impulsively come to the Royal Family to find me. I'm afraid the commotion earlier was caused by him."

Yun Mengyao's eyes flashed, seeming to be more alert, "You have a point, Qin Yi is impulsive, reckless, and daredevil enough that he might really come looking for us. We need to find a way to inquire about the situation."

Yun Susu looked puzzled, Yun Mengyao actually said Qin Yi is brainless? If Qin Yi is brainless, then doesn't that make everyone else in the world idiots?

The three women approached the courtyard gate, and Jin Die stepped forward to knock.

Normally, people knock when entering a door, but they knocked before going out because there were guards outside and the door was locked from the outside.

"Creak!"

The heavy vermilion door slowly opened, and several Royal Warriors stood straight outside.

"Third Princess."

Although Yun Susu was detained, she was still the Third Princess, not someone these people could afford to offend.

So, the leading officer was very polite.

Yun Susu asked, "Why the noise and commotion outside, what's happened?"

The officer hesitated for a moment, appearing to consider whether to tell Yun Susu.

"What's going on? Even though my father detained me, I am still the Royal Family's Third Princess. Don't I have the right to know?" Yun Susu's tone turned serious. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The officer hastily replied, "I wouldn't dare! Reporting to the Third Princess, it's like this, someone just intruded into the Royal Family, causing such a big commotion. My apologies for disturbing the Third Princess's rest."

"Someone intruded into the Royal Family at night?" Yun Susu asked in surprise, "Have they been caught?"

The officer replied, "I have been standing guard here, didn't participate, don't really know."

"Alright! It's been tough on you, General." Yun Susu said, giving Jin Die a look.

Jin Die understood, stepped forward and handed the officer two Gold Coins.

"Third Princess, this..." The officer hesitated, looking troubled.

"When the Princess rewards, you should take it." Jin Die stated.

"Then, thank you for the Third Princess's reward." These soldiers' salary wasn't high; two Gold Coins equaled half a month's salary for them.

Yun Susu smiled, stepped back a few paces, watching the officer close the door.

"You haven't asked enough questions yet, why didn't you ask more?" Yun Mengyao asked.

Yun Susu laughed, "They're constantly standing guard here and know nothing. Asking more won't help. Once news spreads tomorrow, asking will surely yield more."

"Definitely Qin Yi," Yun Mengyao stated.

Yun Susu asked in surprise, "Why are you so sure?"

"Isn't it obvious? Besides him, who else would have the guts to break into the Royal Family at night?"

Yun Susu nodded slightly, worrying, "The Royal Family is far from simple as Qin Yi thinks, experts abound. I wonder how he's doing right now?"

"Don't worry! Perhaps Qin Yi can't confront them head-on, but if he wants to leave, no one in the Royal Family can stop him." It has to be said, Yun Mengyao understood Qin Yi well. And she had a kind of inexplicable confidence in Qin Yi, always feeling he was capable of anything.

Actually, after spending more time with Qin Yi, everyone had such a feeling.

This is Qin Yi's charm; being by his side naturally gives a sense of security.

"But this guy is so clumsy, to be discovered before finding us. When we meet next time, I must laugh at him properly. He has moments of failure too." Yun Mengyao was full of schadenfreude.

Yun Susu was utterly baffled and speechless, finding it hard to understand Yun Mengyao's mindset. Qin Yi broke into the Royal Family at night for them and was discovered, yet she thought about how to laugh at Qin Yi. It was truly inexplicable.

...

...

The grand hall, large enough to accommodate hundreds, was adorned with luxurious carvings, reached the pinnacle of opulence, even the pillars were coated in gold paint, decorated with Auspicious Beasts. Under the flickering candles, the entire hall glimmered like a dreamland.

However, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely oppressive, as if even the air was frozen.

At this moment, there were more than two hundred people kneeling in the center of the hall. Most shocking was that all these people were Body Integration Realm experts, which would surely surprise outsiders.

Body Integration Realm experts are powerful enough to establish a sect.

There were more than two hundred here, all kneeling on the ground, heads lowered and breath held, while the entire hall remained silent as the grave.

On both sides of the hall stood two rows of Black Armor Warriors, each wearing fierce masks, with armor and long swords in black color.

Those in the know recognized that these were the Emperor's Guard of the Yunyue Empire, known as the Black Armor Warriors.

Beneath the black armor, each of them had reached the Unification Realm.

There were only twenty Black Armor Warriors in the hall, but what kind of power would twenty Unification Realm experts represent? Just thinking about it is terrifying. Not only that, it's rumored there are thousands of Black Armor Warriors, meaning thousands of Unification Realm experts.

Of course, as rumors go, no one has ever seen a thousand Black Armor Warriors in person.

At the far end of the hall was a high platform, with a golden throne large enough to be used as a bed.

A tall, elegant middle-aged man sat upon it, wearing a golden crown and golden garments.

This was the highest authority in the Yunyue Empire, the current Emperor, Yun Jiu.

From appearance, this Emperor didn't look like a ruler holding great power, but rather like a scholarly gentleman, for both his looks and temperament were overly elegant.

However, those familiar with this Emperor's history knew that the gracefully elegant man before them once exterminated six brothers for the Emperor's throne. It was said that tens of thousands perished, turning the entire Royal Family into a Corpse Mountain and blood sea.

That is to say, beneath Yun Jiu's elegant facade lay a profoundly cold-blooded and heartless soul.

In truth, anyone with a bit of intelligence could grasp that those who ascend to the Emperor's position are unlikely to be kind-hearted.

Yun Jiu gazed warmly at those kneeling below, without a hint of severity or aggression. Yet those kneeling felt as if sitting on pins and needles, each terrified to even breathe, with sweat dampening their foreheads, faces laced with horror.
