The Tyrannical Emperor Reborn Chapter 39 Part 1

Chapter 39

Qi Junzhuo and his party had no idea what the emperor was planning. Their itinerary had long been submitted, and their arrival in the capital was all scheduled.

On the journey, Yang Jinglei and Qi Junzhuo were fine—but Qi Junyou was like a lit keg of gunpowder, constantly hurling sarcastic barbs at the two of them.

Qi Junzhuo, for his part, showed no reaction at all. He remained so composed it was as if the person being mocked wasn't him, or as if the whole affair had nothing to do with him.

Yang Jinglei, by contrast, found it harder to keep his composure.

Guaizai's eyes turned red on the spot. He didn't even want his pancake anymore. When he saw the carriage stop in front of a pastry shop, he charged straight over.

"You pay for Guaizai's chickies!"

The driver shoved him aside. "Who do you think you are? How dare you block my young master's way."

A man stepped down from the carriage—about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

He glanced at Guaizai—just a village boy in a coarse brown shirt and a tiny straw hat—and gave a slight frown. "What's the matter?"

Once they had walked some distance, Shen Nian asked, "Lord Bai, my grandmother's illness—"

"A stroke strikes suddenly and is no small matter," Bai Feng said gently. "The old madam has likely been eating too richly. From now on, watch her diet closely and keep it plain and light. This kind of illness cannot be cured in a day—it requires long, steady care."

Shen Nian said, "We are much obliged to you, Lord Bai."

Bai Feng shook his head. "It is no trouble."

The Jia family's vegetable plot was right next to Old Man Qin's place, where Zhao Ger was staying. Fang Zichen passed by the Jia plot often, and every time he saw the cucumbers growing there, he'd swallow hard. If he hadn't worn a red scarf back in his youth, he might have considered sneaking in at night to steal some.

Old Madam Jia knew he had a taste for them. These past few days, she'd been picking cucumbers and bringing them over to his house.

"My lord, if you ever want some, don't just crouch by the roadside staring. Go pick them yourself—don't be shy."

The room fell utterly silent.

Shen Nian was the first to react. He looked toward the Emperor.

Qi Junmu gazed at A Duo, her face covered in blood, dead in a manner both tragic and fierce. His expression was calm. Shen Nian's lips moved, but in the end, he said nothing.

After a long moment, the Emperor spoke: "Bury her."

Leaving the western side chamber, Qi Junmu walked slowly, with Shen Nian half a step behind him.

Chapter 373 

The wheels creaked and rumbled as the ox pulled the cart with seemingly no effort at all. Each sack of cement weighed over eighty or ninety jin, and there were more than a dozen sacks loaded on the cart—yet the ox didn't seem to mind the weight at all, tugging along so easily it could almost break into a trot.

A small merchant who had come to gawk stuffed a few copper coins into a soldier's hand and asked if he could have a ride.

Of course he could.

Soon after, A Duo was brought in. Shen Nian had already been surprised to learn about the assassination attempt, but now he was even more shocked to see that the assassin was a woman.

At the sound of the Emperor saying her name—A Duo—Shen Nian's face went utterly blank.

He was so stunned that all expression simply drained away.

A Duo's hands were bound. She was a beautiful woman, with azure-blue eyes—clearly a foreigner from beyond the borders.
