Chapter 1079 (2/2)

The emperor was aware of Gu Yiyi. She was irresistibly adorable and even the eldest prince who had never fallen for anyone before could not help falling in love with her and wanted to make her his side consort 1.

The emperor had agreed to it although he knew that the eldest prince had forcibly brought Gu Yiyi back to the palace.

The eldest prince would be the crown prince of Tianyue Kingdom in the future while Gu Yiyi was only an ordinary lady. He could naturally make anyone his consort. Moreover, Gu Yiyi would only be a side consort. Hence, she was not a threat to the princ.i.p.al consort.

However, the emperor had never thought that Gu Yiyi was so powerful and could ruin the entire Tianyue Kingdom.

“Open the palace’s gate.” The emperor had suddenly made up his mind. He got up from the Dragon Throne, staggered to his feet, swaying a little.

Shocked, the eunuch’s eyes widened.

“Your Majesty, we can’t do this. Once the gate is opened, the spirit beasts would rush into the palace. Hundreds and thousands of people would lose their lives!”

“Well, tell me. How many people have died in front of the palace gate?”

“None of them survived!”

“Since you know that the entire army has been wiped out and even the retired emperor could not stop these spirit beasts, do you think this small palace gate and the weak forces left in the palace could stop them? Tell me. Besides the people that the eldest prince had brought with him, how many more people have died?”

Stunned, the eunuch contemplated.

It had been a few days since the spirit beasts had come into the imperial city. However, it seemed that besides robbing the people, they had never hurt anyone. They only beat up the man who had bullied the spirit beasts and then rescued the spirit beasts from them.

“Open the palace’s gate. If we don’t open it now, it will be too late when they barge into the palace themselves.”

The emperor closed his eyes.

It was just a short moment, but he seemed to have aged a few decades. He even had a little hump on his back.
