Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1252: This Slap Is for My Friend

Qin Yi finished speaking and no longer paid attention to Qiu Tang, and walked toward the Royal Family inside.

Before taking a step, Qin Yi paused and said calmly, "Come out."

A graceful figure emerged from behind the nearby rock garden; it was Yun Susu. She walked hesitantly to Qin Yi, lowered her head, and twisted her fingers into her clothes, looking very nervous.

"Qin Yi, I'm sorry!"

After a long time, Yun Susu spoke softly.

Qin Yi smiled, "It's okay, everyone has their own reasons for doing things. In my view, it may be wrong, but to him, it's right. Some things are fundamentally unclear, you don't need to apologize to me, it's not your fault."

Yun Susu raised her head, gritted her teeth, and mustered all her courage to say, "Qin Yi, can you spare my mother?"

"I can't."

Yun Susu's eyes dimmed and asked in panic, "Then what do you plan to do with her?"

"Kill her."

Yun Susu's face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled slightly, "Qin Yi, given that we know each other, can you kill me and spare my mother? She's doing all this for my sake, I beg you."

Qin Yi said indifferently, "I can't. As I said, when you do something wrong, you have to pay the price, no matter the reason."

Yun Susu's eyes showed a trace of resentment, "Am I just going to watch you kill my mother?"

"You can't stop me, nor can the entire Yunyue Empire. Don't do foolish things, and don't let more innocent people die, Your Majesty the Emperor."

Qin Yi finished speaking and started walking.

Yun Susu watched Qin Yi's back, clenched her teeth tightly, and tears fell down.

"Qin Yi, no matter the cost, I won't watch you kill my mother," Yun Susu shouted courageously.

Qin Yi seemed not to hear and continued walking, soon disappearing into the distance.

...

...

Qin Yi moved forward, his Divine Thought spreading, as his mind rapidly turned; where might Yun Mengyao be hidden?

On the way searching, Qin Yi eventually arrived at Anran Palace.

Anran Palace was a place Qiu Tang loathed; she never wanted to come here again in her lifetime. Qiu Tang knew herself and understood she would definitely put herself in someone else's shoes, maybe Yun Mengyao was held here.

Qin Yi approached and pushed the door open.

The hall was quiet; the roof that he had collapsed earlier had already been repaired.

Qin Yi's gaze moved to the teacup on the table, which was still steaming, indicating someone lived here.

Qin Yi's lips curled slightly, it seemed he was right.

"Who are you?"

Suddenly, a dignified voice came from the bed extending from the hall.

Qin Yi was slightly startled, feeling a bit disappointed, it wasn't Yun Mengyao.

However, the voice was somewhat familiar; it took Qin Yi a moment to realize who it belonged to—it was Emperor Yun Changqing, or rather, the former Emperor.

The gauze curtain beside the bed was lifted, and Yun Changqing, dressed in golden form-fitting clothes, got out of bed and looked at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi said indifferently, "Life is truly unpredictable. The last time I saw you, you were full of spirit and arrogance. But now, being a prisoner doesn't feel good, does it?"

Yun Changqing looked at Qin Yi in surprise, as if trying to recall when they met.

Qin Yi said calmly, "Don't think about it, I have seen you, but you haven't seen me."

Yun Changqing frowned, "Who are you?"

"Qin Yi."

Yun Changqing was surprised, "You're Qin Yi?"

"Absolutely."

After his surprise, Yun Changqing frowned, "Why are you here?"

"Previously, I came here to discuss with Qiu Tang about how to support Yun Susu to take the throne. Now I'm here to find a friend but didn't expect to run into you."

Yun Changqing exploded in anger, "You're in league with that bitch Qiu Tang!"

Qin Yi's eyes showed disdain, "Yun Changqing, you were once an Emperor, have a bit of grace. A day as husband and wife, a hundred days of grace, Qiu Tang was once your Empress, and now you call her a bitch. What does that make you? Are you just a patron?"

"Presumptuous, how dare you talk to me like that?"

Qin Yi snorted, "Be realistic, okay? A plucked Phoenix can't surpass a chicken. Not to mention you're now only a prisoner, even if you were the Emperor, how I speak to you wouldn't be excessive."

Yun Changqiang's eyes turned shady, "Did that bitch Qiu Tang send you?"

"She can't command me, I'm here for a friend. Meeting you here is purely coincidental."

Yun Changqing's eyes flickered, he stared at Qin Yi, "You're not in league with Qiu Tang."

"I'm not." Qin Yi paused, "Soon, I'll kill her."

Yun Changqing laughed out loud, as if he heard something unbelievable, "Ridiculous! Qiu Tang has a thousand Black Armor Warriors and a hundred Golden Warriors protecting her, you..."

"Now, there are only ninety-one Golden Warriors left," Qin Yi interrupted.

Yun Changqing froze, "What do you mean?"

"They tried to stop me from coming in, so I just killed nine."

Yun Changqing's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Are you saying you fought your way inside?"

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, "You could say that. At least Qiu Tang surrendered before me. She's right outside the Royal Room now; I can kill her anytime."

"Then kill her, quickly kill that bitch."

Qin Yi frowned at him, "Are you ordering me?"

Yun Changqing's eyes darkened but quickly returned to normal, "Qin Yi, help this Emperor regain the throne, and I'll make you the National Teacher. Above one, below thousands. From now on, you'll be second only to me."

Qin Yi's face was full of disdain, "Compared to Qiu Tang, I loathe you more. Only one person can be above Qin Yi, and that is my wife."

Yun Changqing was taken aback, "I don't know what I've done wrong to make you hate me so, but I think it must be a misunderstanding."

"It's no misunderstanding, you're the kind of person who is promiscuous, heartless, indifferent, and devoid of conscience—someone Qin hates most. You perfectly embody all these traits. I'm not killing you now because I've killed too many people in the past two days and I'm too tired."

Yun Changqing's eyes turned阴沉, "Qin Yi, if you help me regain the throne, I can give you whatever you want."

Qin Yi's lips curled into a cold smile, "If Qin Yi needs anything, I will personally take it, no need for anyone to give it to me."

With that, Qin Yi's figure flashed, directly appearing in front of Yun Changqing.

Yun Changqing was startled; Qin Yi's speed was terrifying, and he instinctively retreated.

"Smack!"

The resounding slap echoed in the hall, Yun Changqing cried out, half his face bloody and flew sideways, crashing into the wall, causing cracks to spread.

Yun Changqing fell to the ground, clutching his face and howling, looking at Qin Yi in horror. He was supposed to be in the Unification Realm of Great Perfection, yet he couldn't dodge Qin Yi's slap.

"Yun Changqing, this slap is for my friend Yun Mengyao. You shouldn't have targeted her."

Qin Yi said casually, then flicked his hand and left the hall.
