Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 876 - 865: Cowardly Emperor

"Your Majesty, please forgive us, we just don’t want to be under the State Preceptor’s control for long." Seeing Ye Qiu looking at them coldly, Zhang Yuwen suppressed his anger and said.

"So you just want to take things from the Ye Family for free?" Ye Qiu said sarcastically.

Zhang Yuwen clenched his fists, unable to bear such a gaze, and said righteously, "I never intended to take anything from Your Majesty for free. In fact, before coming, I didn’t know there were things here; it was purely out of curiosity. Doesn’t Your Majesty want me to depose the State Preceptor?"

"You speak reasonably, but we had just reached an agreement. Why secretly act behind my back? Whether you knew there was something here or not, shouldn’t you have told me first?" Ye Qiu looked at them and shifted his tone, "Let it go for today, I hope Mr. Zhang and your two cousins will be more discreet in the future. Late at night, Mr. Zhang is sneaking out with my concubine away from the servants, it doesn’t seem very appropriate."

After speaking, he turned his tone again, "However, if Mr. Zhang can’t bear to part with Princess Consort Yao, we can add her to our agreement. Anyway, we’ve already decided to set the Empress free; one more concubine is no big deal."

"Really?" Yao Qinxue looked at Ye Qiu in surprise, then pleaded with Zhang Yuwen with her eyes, "Cousin..."

She spoke these two words with deep affection. Beside her, Kong Suxin immediately darkened her face, but she couldn’t stop her cousin from rescuing someone. The resentment and apprehension filled the whole new room, as she intuitively disliked this cousin.

Zhang Yuwen did not look at Yao Qinxue, but addressed Ye Qiu, "I know Your Majesty does not have the heart to harm innocent women, why not release them together?"

Ye Qiu chuckled lightly, "I am an Emperor after all; how would the people view me if I release the harem? However, if Mr. Zhang asks, I can give you this face."

"Cousin, help me out, I don’t want to spend my whole life in this deep palace courtyard." Yao Qinxue tugged on Zhang Yuwen’s sleeve, not seeing Kong Suxin clenching her hand.

"What does Your Majesty require?" Zhang Yuwen did not directly answer, but the meaning was clear. Yao Qinxue’s face lit up with joy, while Kong Suxin lowered her head, silent.

"No requirements, just as a favor to Mr. Zhang." Ye Qiu laughed at this scene, admitting that today’s events were entirely for his amusement, intentionally making the two women jealous over Zhang Yuwen.

He was fascinated, thinking, last lifetime Kong Suxin could selflessly organize the wedding for Zhang Yuwen and Yao Qinxue, what about this lifetime? This lifetime, she and Yao Qinxue started from the same point; neither had lost themselves, nor had Yao Qinxue unexpectedly become involved with Zhang Yuwen. Would she give up? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

He guessed she probably wouldn’t, after all, the two loved each other, but what of the legitimate wife from the previous life, Yao Qinxue, what should she do? Would Yao Qinxue willingly give up her beloved Zhang Yuwen?

Ye Qiu thought it was quite mysterious, but what did their affairs have to do with him? Last lifetime aside, though the three had wronged him, two cuckolding him and one taking the Ye Family’s treasure, Zhang Yuwen ultimately took down the State Preceptor, so he magnanimously did not hold it against them.

But if they did something excessive again this lifetime, he would not be courteous.

"Thank you, cousin, thank you, Your Majesty!" Yao Qinxue never expected she would have a day to regain her freedom but was equally worried, as the State Preceptor was so formidable; could they succeed?

After the three left, Ye Qiu entered a space, and since the poison had cleared from his body and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians had been opened days ago, his cultivation speed had been rapid, with spiritual energy continuously pouring into him, allowing him to finally discover the abnormality of this body — it was a perfect physique for cultivation, even more remarkable than his sister Ye Ying’s.

So was his previous weakness justified? Did the State Preceptor know something, or did he do something to him?

"Where is your junior apprentice brother?" Days passed, and the State Preceptor finally sensed something amiss and asked another thin-faced little boy.

"I haven’t seen my junior apprentice brother for five days either." The thin-faced little boy asked in confusion, "Wasn’t it Master who sent him out for something?"

Gao Zhuo’s face darkened: "Go find him."

He thought of something and ordered, "Search the Imperial Palace and Zhang Family; if you don’t find him, bring Your Majesty and Zhang Yuwen to me."

"Yes."

The child first went to the Imperial Palace, seeing Ye Qiu showed no courtesy, "Your Majesty, have you seen my senior apprentice brother?"

Ye Qiu glanced at him, and coldly threw out two words: "No."

"Five days ago, my senior brother came to bring medicine to Your Majesty, and he disappeared after that. Shouldn’t Your Majesty give us an explanation?"

Ye Qiu leaned against the back of his chair, his expression inscrutable, "Those from the National Master Mansion always come and go freely in the Imperial Palace; how could an ordinary person like me stop Dao Yuan Immortal Leader? Dao and Immortal Leader asked the wrong person."

Listening to Ye Qiu’s casual, even sarcastic tone, the child was enraged: "I’m asking you a question, what kind of tone is that?"

"The tone of answering a question?" Ye Qiu grinned, showing a look of dismissiveness.

"How bold, daring to speak to me like that." The child was furious, then took action.

Ye Qiu’s face turned completely cold, unafraid of the rushing wind in the child’s palm, and said icily, "I think you’re the one being bold; I am an Emperor, who gave you the audacity to speak to me like this?"

"Insignificant lowlife, I’ll show you my power." The child shouted, about to attack Ye Qiu but was blocked by someone.

Seeing the person, his eyes grew sharper: "Zhang Yuwen, it’s you, such boldness!"

Zhang Yuwen wasted no words, directly engaging in a fight.

The victor was quickly decided, Zhang Yuwen being Prince Charming had cultivated for a short time, but his level was not low. In contrast, the child had an aloof attitude, actually just showy, using only despicable means.

"You are defiant; my master will not spare you." The child screamed.

Ye Qiu kicked him, smiling with satisfaction: "Your senior brother said the same, but he can’t speak now. If you don’t want to follow in his footsteps, answer honestly, is your master’s cultivation in trouble?"

Upon hearing Ye Qiu’s question, Zhang Yuwen was shocked. How did Your Majesty know to ask this? Could he have discovered something?

But all that was seen was the child shrinking his pupils, still stubbornly saying, "My master’s abilities are beyond your imagination. If you don’t want to die, release me quickly."

"Seems there really is trouble." Ye Qiu chuckled, "I ask again, did your master ruin my body? What purpose did he have in intentionally taking Ye Song and Ye Tai as disciples?"
