Chapter 116 A Decree to Seek Peace and Divorce from the Emperor
The Fifth Princess arrived late.
When she arrived, she saw only a head lying on the ground.
"Whose head is it this time?"
Last time, it was General Su's concubine; could it be this time?
"Your Highness, it is General Su's mother's." Minister Li was covered in cold sweat and trembled as he hid beside the Emperor.
The room was filled with ghosts and evil spirits, but the dragon aura around the emperor made people feel safer.
The Fifth Princess was shocked: "When will Su Xiao arrive?"
"Before you chop him up, remember to tell this princess not to be so impulsive. Sihe and Qingbao haven't divorced yet."
These words gave Qingbao a hint.
Qingbao's ears twitched as she looked at her mother.
Si He understood and knelt down before the Emperor. "Your Majesty, Old Madam Su is vicious. She has tried to kill Qingbao and gouge out Qingbao's eyes more than once."
"Now that she is dead, the schemes and plots she spoke of have not disappeared. She wants to trap me and Qingbao in General Su's mansion forever, so that we can never leave for all eternity."
"Your Majesty, please grant me permission to divorce General Su Xiao. Otherwise, I fear I cannot protect Qingbao while I am here."
After saying this, she solemnly kowtowed.
The emperor fell into deep thought.
Recalling the insane conspiracy that Old Lady Su had just described, even he, a king, felt a chill.
It seems he has no choice but to get involved in this matter.
"I……"
The Emperor was about to speak.
Rumble—
For some reason, the sky outside suddenly seemed to darken.
Two claps of thunder, but no rain fell, as if to warn us.
The emperor felt a vague unease.
"Qingbao, what's going on?"
Qingbao's face was solemn. "What else could it be? There's someone with supernatural powers interfering from behind. You give your orders, and I want to see if he can kill you!"
"Chop...chop me to death?" The emperor was horrified!
This was the first time he had ever heard of lightning striking him to death.
He's the emperor, you know!
"Besides you, there's me too. You're an emperor, protected by a true dragon. Even immortals would have to think twice before trying to harm you. I'll stand here to protect you!"
The little guy wasn't even half the height of the emperor, holding a pen behind his back, looking like he was about to fight.
Such a tiny thing, yet it claims it will protect me!
"Your Majesty... Forgive my indiscretion, but since this is a warning from Heaven, Your Majesty should follow Heaven's arrangement to avoid harming your health..."
Before his promotion, Minister Li was an official who offered advice and criticism.
They're always so fearless.
The emperor was about to scold him.
Rumble—
A bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck at the emperor's feet, burning off a corner of his dragon robe.
The emperor's face instantly darkened.
What kind of good weather is this? They even interfere in people's divorces.
Sihe and the Fifth Princess were shocked and turned pale.
Minister Li was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"It's all the will of Heaven! It's all the will of Heaven! Please, Your Majesty, do not defy Heaven!"
The Fifth Princess also knelt down with worry. She looked at Si He with difficulty and said, "Father..."
Si He closed her eyes and clenched her fists.
“Princess Qingbao, I know you are exceptionally capable, but the outside world is the heavens. His Majesty has treated you well. Do you want His Majesty to defy the heavens and meet a bad end?” Minister Li advised Qingbao.
Qingbao sighed, "Uncle Emperor."
"I'm here, I'm here!" Upon hearing Qingbao call him, the Emperor quickly responded.
"Give me three days. After three days, I will bring my mother to the palace and ask for a decree for divorce. Is that alright?"
Qingbao didn't want to implicate the Emperor and the Fifth Princess, because if something really happened to the Emperor, the Fifth Princess would feel guilty.
The Emperor quickly nodded, "Yes, as long as you can..."
—Defying the heavens!
Qingbao was confident in her abilities, but she needed to go to the underworld to retrieve some items first.
