The Tyrannical Emperor Reborn Chapter 84 Part 1

Chapter 84 

A stray descendant of the fallen Yunhai nobility, wandering in Da Qi—she would have been subject to all sorts of constraints and manipulation. She had not seized the chance to kill him, but had saved him instead. He owed her that debt, and he had kept his word by never mentioning it.

"I do not want to hear about all that between you and her," Qi Junmu said. "I want to know what you plan to do with her. Keep her in your residence for life?"

"No, no—Yunhai is gone. I'll send her away from the capital," Qi Junzhuo said quickly, a little flustered.

That alley wasn't a dead end. Anyone living in Hezhou knew there was a path behind it that led straight to Shanniu Slope outside the city.

And what was Shanniu Slope? That was the city's burial ground—the place where they laid the dead to rest.

The old man was dressed in a new brown set of clothes, but the hems of his trousers, the ends of his sleeves, and his cuffs were all caked with yellow mud.

Qi Junyan and Qi Junyou did not linger either. They had narrowly escaped with their lives, having not been purged by the Emperor, and neither wanted to spend a moment longer in this perilous palace than necessary.

Qi Junzhuo was the last to leave. He looked at Ruan Jiqing and asked, "Eunuch Ruan, is His Majesty all right?"

Seeing it was him, Ruan Jiqing offered a kind smile. "Do not fret, Prince Jin. His Majesty is fine. Return to your residence for now—everything will become clear tomorrow."

Zhao Ger had no idea what was going on, but he knew something was wrong. He was just totaling the accounts and planning to send someone to investigate when he saw a customer buying half a roast duck and walking out of the shop. The man hadn't even reached the street when a burly man rushed over and grabbed him.

"Lao Xu, you've got some nerve! You still dare come to this shop for meat?"

"What's wrong? Why wouldn't I dare?"

"You don't know?"

"Know what?"

None of them had truly understood Qi Junmu. These past days, Qi Junmu's subtle coldness toward the Lin family had all been attributed to Shen Nian. None of them had realized that the source of it all was Qi Junmu himself.

With that thought, Lin En turned to Shen Nian, who had been standing quietly behind Qi Junmu all along. "When the rabbit is dead, the hound is boiled," he said. "Marquis Zhenbei, seeing all this today—aren't you afraid?"

[兔死狗烹 (tù sǐ gǒu pēng): lit. When the rabbit is dead, the hound is boiled; fig. Trusted aides are eliminated after they outlive their usefulness.]

"Are you the manager here?"

"Yes. Is there something I can help you with?"

"My surname is Yu."

Zhao Ger remembered—Feng momo had mentioned him once. The Yu family apparently had a son who'd fallen off a horse a few years ago and ended up bedridden. But "bedridden" didn't quite fit—he couldn't speak or move. Fang Zichen had been there at the time and said it was a vegetative state.

Xia Guo spent a long time ferreting out the affairs of the Lin family. It turned out Lin Xiao's concubines had gotten pregnant before, only for the Lin household to force miscarriage-inducing drugs on them.

Yue shi's body had been damaged in those years, leaving her unable to bear more children. Qi Junmu could well imagine the reason for that damage—after having her own child taken away and sent into the palace, her postpartum depression must have been severe.

Qi Junmu thought that she had done this because she did not want Lin Xiao to have children with anyone else.
