Chapter 532 (1/2)

The Empress' Guest (2)

Ye Lang’s calmness proved one point: this pretty boy was not as weak as the stories told.

Before anyone could think, Sir Tie Jing disarmed Gao Lei in a flash of lightning. This scared many people, for they did not know why Sir Tie Jing would be the one to take action. Ye Lang did not look like he was worth Sir Tie Jing’s time.

Even if the fight had to be broken up, since it was Zhao Yarou’s party, this was a job for the kingsguard- not him!

A string of even more unbelievable events happened.

“Mr Fox, my apologies if you were startled!” Sir Tie Jing’s apology was even more shocking. It was already an honour for Sir Tie Jing to defend him, there was no need for an apology- especially not for a person like Ye Lang.

Then, Zhao Yarou then slowly walked over, then said coldly to Gao Lei (who was now restrained), “You’re Gao Lei, right? Not bad, can’t believe you drew your sword at MY party, then pointed your sword at a guest I personally invited!”

Zhao Yarou’s frigidness sent chills across the yard. Gao Lei, who was now on the ground, and Lord Gao, who was watching far away, were sweating buckets as if they had met Death herself.

Yep, she was basically Death!

Everyone suddenly realised something. If Zhao Yarou mentioned he was a guest she invited. That meant the fox kid wasn’t here because of Li Yue, he was invited by the empress!

That meant Gao Lei was finished!

“Your Majesty, I beg you, forgive my son for his ignorance!” Lord Gao rushed over to beg her, falling on his knees.

“If he’s so ignorant, what’s the use of keeping him alive?” she scoffed coldly.

Lord Gao did not know what to say. He hadn’t expected his pleads for mercy to be used against himself.

“Your Majesty, I beg you to think this through!” Li Tianjun stepped up to help Lord Gao. This action greatly moved Lord Gao.

“I have thought this through. This person, shall not be forgiven!” replied Zhao Yarou coldly.

“Let him go…”

“I said I will not let him go, or were you not listening? Do not test my patience!” her voice grew colder.

“But I can’t move if you don’t!”

“?? What do you mean?” Zhao Yarou was confused. She turned around to look at Ye Lang. He wasn’t able to leave because Gao Lei, held down by Sir Tie Jing, was in his way.

All Ye Lang wanted was to leave, he did not care if Zhao Yarou sentenced him to death. No matter what, this was a person who’d just pointed a sword at himself. A person like that was not worth the risk of angering Zhao Yarou.

However, when he saw how pitiful Gao Lei was, kneeling in front of him, his heart melted and decided to help him once. Just once.

Sigh, I am a good person after all. “He’s in your way? Then we shall kill him!” said Zhao Yarou.
