Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1253: Time’s Up

Qin Yi searched the entire Royal Family but couldn't find Yun Mengyao.

He could only helplessly return to the entrance of the Royal Family.

Qiu Tang, Yun Susu, and others were all there.

"I thought you would run?" Qin Yi looked at Qiu Tang and said.

Qiu Tang smiled slightly, "If I die, everyone else lives. If I run, everyone dies. This is a calculation I can still make."

Qin Yi looked at her, "Where's Yun Mengyao?"

Qiu Tang laughed, "You're so smart, why don't you guess?"

"My patience is limited."

Qiu Tang laughed and said, "I killed her."

Yun Susu was stunned, looking at Qiu Tang in disbelief.

Qin Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not get angry, "As clever as you are, you wouldn't do such a stupid thing. You know if something happens to Yun Mengyao, the entire Yunyue Empire would perish with her."

Qiu Tang said frankly, "I will never hand Yun Mengyao over to you."

"Then I might reconsider."

Qiu Tang laughed, "The Yunyue Empire has millions of troops; can you kill them all?"

"I have plenty of time." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Alright then!" Qiu Tang said with a bitter smile, "It seems I have never once successfully restrained you."

"Where is she?"

"At Susu's estate."

Qin Yi was slightly stunned, "It's indeed a good place; I really hadn't thought of it."

Qin Yi glanced at Qiu Tang, "There's one more thing."

"I've already prepared it for you a long time ago." Qiu Tang waved, and Yun Fu stepped forward and handed Qin Yi a folded map.

The map was made of beast skin, meant for long-term preservation. Qin Yi opened it for a glance, and it was very detailed.

He put the map away. Qiu Tang said, "Is it time for me now?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

Yun Susu's face instantly filled with panic, her body tensed, and she instinctively stood in front of Qiu Tang.

She understood that Qin Yi was about to act against her mother.

She looked at Qin Yi, her face full of pleading, "Qin Yi, I beg you, don't."

Qin Yi looked at her indifferently, silent.

Qiu Tang smiled bitterly, "Susu, step aside."

"I won't."

Qiu Tang patted her hair, "From now on, you'll have to rely on yourself."

After saying that, she forcibly pushed Yun Susu aside and walked up to Qin Yi, looking at him calmly, "Go ahead."

"Empress Dowager." Yun Fu exclaimed.

Qin Yi said expressionlessly, "Take care on your way!"

"Make it quick; my life has been hard enough."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, slowly raising his hand.

"Qin Yi, I'll take responsibility for my mother's mistakes. I exchange my life for hers; I'm begging you."

Yun Susu cried, pulling out a dagger, and thrusting it towards her own heart.

"Susu." Qiu Tang exclaimed.

Qin Yi also hadn't expected Yun Susu to do this and hurriedly raised his hand. Purple Light surged, directly restraining Yun Susu. But it was still a step late; the blade had already pierced two to three centimeters into her chest, blood oozing out, staining her chest red.

"Susu, don't." Qiu Tang rushed over in a panic, snatching the dagger from Yun Susu's hand, frantically applying medicine to her.

Yun Susu looked at Qin Yi, tears streaming down her face, "Qin Yi, I'm willing to exchange my life for my mother's, I'm begging you. Don't force me to hate you."

Qiu Tang admonished, "Susu, don't forget you're now the Emperor of the Yunyue Empire; you have your responsibilities."

Saying this, she looked at Qin Yi, "I take responsibility for my own actions. I don't need anyone to save me."

"I don't want to be Emperor, Qin Yi; I'll give the position of Emperor to you, just please spare my mother." Yun Susu cried and begged.

Qin Yi's eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking?

However, just then, a crisp voice came, "What happened here?"

Everyone looked towards the voice and saw Yun Qinglian stepping out of the carriage, her face full of confusion.

Qin Yi was slightly taken aback; although he had helped, according to cultivation, Bai Yichen should have woken up first, how could it be Yun Qinglian?

But he quickly understood, Yun Qinglian still had the power of the Heavenly Thunder Fruit and Beast Core in her body, it should be this power that neutralized the effects of the Thousand-day Drunk, allowing Yun Qinglian to wake up first.

Yun Qinglian jumped down from the carriage, walked over confusedly, and looked at Qin Yi, "What happened here?"

"Are you alright?" Qin Yi asked back.

Yun Qinglian rubbed her temples, "Except for a headache, nothing else is uncomfortable. By the way, weren't we in Fanhua City? When did we return to the Imperial City? I don't remember at all."

"You were affected by the Thousand-day Drunk."

"Thousand-day Drunk?" Yun Qinglian was shocked, then angrily said, "Lu Zhao did it?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

"Where is that bastard?"

"Dead."

Yun Qinglian was slightly stunned, "Good riddance, to dare to plot against this Princess."

Just then, Yun Susu knelt down with a thud facing Yun Qinglian.

Yun Qinglian knelt, and the surrounding soldiers, Black Armor Warriors, and Golden Armor Warriors all knelt down.

Yun Qinglian looked dazedly at Qin Yi, completely confused about the situation?

"Eldest Princess, I'm returning the throne to you, please help me beg Qin Yi to spare my mother." Yun Susu pleaded.

Yun Qinglian was even more confused, looking at Qin Yi and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

Qin Yi summarized the events of the past few days in brief.

After listening, Yun Qinglian was full of shock, not expecting she had been unconscious for seven or eight days, and so much had happened during this time.

Qiu Tang looked apologetically at Yun Qinglian, "Eldest Princess, the person who wanted to kill you was me, Susu knew nothing. So, I hope the innocent won't be implicated."

Yun Qinglian looked at Qiu Tang coldly, "I never underestimated you. But in the end, it turns out, you're even more formidable than I imagined. Lady Qiu, I've already promised Qin Yi to stay away from the court, so why do you persist in making sure I die?"

"If it were you, would you keep Susu as a hidden threat?" Qiu Tang asked back.

Yun Qinglian didn't even think, "Of course I would, because she is my sister."

Qiu Tang was taken aback, if Yun Qinglian had hesitated, she would never believe Yun Qinglian's words. But Yun Qinglian didn't even think, it was purely an instinctive answer, and instincts don't lie.

She smiled bitterly, "It seems I was indeed wrong; my outlook was too narrow. But the big mistake has been made, and there's no medicine for regret in the world. Kill me, I hope this matter ends here."

"If you want to die, I'll grant you that." Yun Qinglian directly drew the soft sword at her waist and thrust it towards Qiu Tang's throat.

Yun Qinglian was inherently someone who repays grudges, so she wouldn't hesitate to kill Qiu Tang.

But Yun Susu rushed over, blocking in front of Qiu Tang, and the sword point halted sharply just two centimeters from her throat.

Yun Qinglian's pretty face was full of fury, "Move aside."

"Eldest Princess, I am willing to die in place of my mother, please kill me, spare her." Yun Susu pleaded.

Yun Qinglian frowned, "Wrongs have a cause, debts have a creditor, this matter was not your doing, why should I kill you?"

"But she is my mother, everything she did was for me. Eldest Princess, if someone must die, please let it be me."

Yun Qinglian's eyes were cold, "Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"
