The Tyrannical Emperor Reborn Chapter 39 Part 3

Qi Junyou felt a sharp sting. The barb he had thrown had been turned back on him, driven in deeper than before, leaving him thoroughly uncomfortable.

Who exactly was Qi Junmu trying to sicken with these words? he fumed inwardly. The snow disaster in Qingzhou had taken lives too — it wasn't as if I had spent my days in pleasure and never tasted hardship. How could he speak to me like that?

Qi Junmu hadn't talked like this as a child. Now that he is emperor, it seems his tongue has been dipped in poison.

After Old Master Qiu slowly came to his senses, he recalled the harsh words Fang Zichen had left behind before departing. His face turned ashen, and he felt like crying but had no tears left.

A young servant came in to report: "Master, Village Chief Qiu is here."

Village Chief Qiu was the head of Daoxiang Village and also a distant cousin of Old Master Qiu's—they shared the same great-great-grandfather. Thanks to Old Master Qiu's influence, Village Chief Qiu held considerable authority in the village.

Fortunately, the closer they drew to the capital, the shorter Prince Ping's fangs grew. By the time they reached the outskirts, he had resumed his old demeanor—the elegant, carefree nobleman.

When Qi Junzhuo set foot in the capital, he felt the sunlight dazzle his eyes.

When he had left, the capital was still cold. Now he was back in light spring clothes.

Da Qi's reign era had changed. Emperor Jing's era had come to an end—permanently, in the past year. For a moment, he felt a strange sense of disorientation.

"My Lord, this humble one knows his mistake! Please be magnanimous and forgive this lowly man!"

"Now you're afraid?" Fang Zichen said coldly. "Where was this fear before? Pay up."

Only now did Qiu's second son realize exactly who Fang Zichen was. He dared not say a single word.

Old Master Qiu's heart ached at the thought of paying, but he had no choice—the Qin family soldiers had them surrounded. If Fang Zichen was bold enough to do this in broad daylight, it meant he didn't care what the townsfolk might say.

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."
