Chapter 374 – Summons From The Empress (2/2)

Chun’er became startled and replied: “No, nothing, nothing’s wrong!”

Lei Yu knew something was up with her and continued: “Don’t worry so much, there’s no one else here.”

While trembling a bit, Chun’er breathed out before hesitatingly saying: “Mister doesn’t know but ever since Prince Luminous got sick, no one paid too much attention to it. But when her conditions became worse, Princess’s body was like mud and her bones extremely brittle. She wasn’t able to move at all and no one knew how she had contracted such an illness. Several imperial doctors had no way of healing her and even accidentally broke some of her bones in the process. That’s the reason the imperial doctors had their heads decapitated. Mister is still so young so Chun’er didn’t want…”

Chun’er hadn’t managed to finish her sentence when Lei Yu suddenly covered her mouth and pushed her against a round wooden table beside them. Chun’er’s eyes went round and wide! She thought Lei Yu was a gentleman because he never called her in the entire night. What she didn’t expect was that Lei Yu was actually such a pervert to act now. She was just about to scream out when a voice came from the door: “Mister, please come with me to the Luminous Palace to treat the Princess’s illness.”

Lei Yu released his other hand from holding onto Chun’er and stood up, pretending he was in the middle of doing something perverted towards her. That military officer came in with a faint smile as he noticed the scene. “There’s no need to rush Mister. When you have healed the Princess’s illness, you can have as much beauties as you want.”

Lei Yu lightly nodded his head towards Chun’er and left the Cold Morning Palace with the military officer.

Chun’er stood there in a daze while in thought. She then ran towards the door and said to herself: “Mister was saving me! He was afraid that military officer would hear what I had just said! I’ve misunderstood Mister’s intentions!” After pausing for a bit, Chun’er’s red lips parted a bit as she whispered: “Mister, you must come back safe and sound.”

Outside a sign that said Tranquil Palace, Lei Yu was a bit confused and asked: “Aren’t we going to where the Princess stays? Why am I brought here?”

The military officer replied: “The Empress wants to meet you first and not because we don’t trust Mister. There are protocols in place with everything, and we are dealing with the Princess’s precious body, right?”

Lei Yu didn’t care about the response since he wanted to come here since yesterday. When his spiritual senses swept out, he could sense a non-human existence at this location. If his guess wasn’t wrong, then that non-human existence should be the so called Empress Guo.

The military officer spoke some words with the maids in front of the entrance. One of them went inside and a while later, they invited Lei Yu inside.

This Tranquil Palace was more than double the size of Cold Morning Palace where Lei Yu stayed at. The floors were laden with rugs with different kinds of embroidery. The furniture were mostly made out of red wood and looked extremely sturdy.

Sitting on one side of a bench was a noble looking lady dressed in dark purple phoenix robes. She was about forty years old but still looked rather elegant. Even though her demeanor was less than half of Telephassa’s aura, one could still tell that she was a beauty when she was young.

But was this really the case? Lei Yu didn’t believe the current looks of this non-human existence was real and determined she must have used some type of ability. What surprised Lei Yu yesterday was that underneath this seemingly ordinary body was actually someone that had cultivated the demon’s path to the late Soul Splitting stage.

“You’re the Mister that tore off the reward notice? I really didn’t expect you to be this young, and it has made this Empress somewhat worried. Are you sure you’re capable?”

Lei Yu was neither haughty nor humble. He noticed the palace maid next to the Empress repeatedly give him eye signals but Lei Yu continued standing there calmly. He had no thoughts of bending his knee to this Empress so he coldly responded: “Whether I am capable or not would be seen after I see the Princess, so what use is there to guess my abilities? Unless your Empress has eyes that are able to see one’s ability with a glance?”

“What an arrogant tone!” Empress Guo suddenly stood up and shouted, causing the palace maids near her to quickly kneel down. Lei Yu didn’t even bother looking her in the eyes as he was thinking to himself: “What a ghost of a thing! You have the ability to harm others but none whatsoever to save them. Looks like you’re definitely not something good!”
