Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

Chapter 150 – Can You Escape? (2)

It was no wonder that even after she’d woken up for so long, there hadn’t been a single news from any of the aristocratic clans.

They all thought that the people they’d sent out had been killed by my men?

After all, over two hundred inner force masters were not a small number. Other than her army and the combined now deceased 500 inner force soldier, there was probably no one else who could take them out…those old foxes would definitely abhor her for doing such a sneaky act! After all, they had lent her all their men!

“You–!” Zhao Yunqin was anxious. But nefore she could even open her eyes to roar, she was stopped by Mo Linyuan roughly holding the medicinal bowl to her mouth. She struggled, refusing her best to drink it, but Mo Linyuan was still young, and had great strength. With just one grab of her chin, she was not able to break free!

“What’s the hurry? What’s more important than your body? Here, drink the medicine obediently.”

He beamed, but the medicine bowl in his hand filled her mouth to the brim with speed to the point black liquid flowed out from the corners of her lips. Zhao Yunqin could only choke and whimper!

“Empress Dowager!” Mo Linyuan’s sudden action terrified everyone. They hurriedly surrounded him but ultimately took a step back. Zhao Yunqin’s face was pale as she held onto her neck with one hand, trembling, while Mo Linyuan had his vice grip on her.

“You–evil creature! This is unfilial!”

“Unfilial? It has already been two days since I’ve taken up court. Outsiders know that I am ‘heavily injured’ and can’t even get out of bed. It was all thanks to you, so how could I have the chance to be unfilial to you?”

As he spoke, he knocked the now empty jade bowl to the table at the corner of the bed, shattered the fine ornament to sharp pieces. He held a fragment in his hand and looked at Zhao Yunqin ominously.

“Tell me, now that you have no inner force experts surrounding you, how much chance do you think you have to escape if I were to kill you now?”

With this single sentence, everyone in the room quieted down. Zhao Yunqin did not even cough; her lips opened and closed, not a single word came out from her mouth.

Half of the Imperial army’s authority were in her hands, and the other half were in the hands of Mo Linyuan. If it was only that, she wouldn’t be afraid, but the inner force masters protecting her at the moment numbered less than 20 people. Since Mo Linyuan was able to kill all 500 of them, then he truly has the ability to kill her in the palace. Right now.

Meanwhile, Mo Linyuan really wanted to already finish her.

Unfortunately, his foundation was still too weak. Not long after he took power, he still only had forty or so inner force masters under his command, and he had sent them all out to pretend as the empress dowager’s soldiers, having them slaughter the soldiers from the other great families to promote conflict.

If he had more people, he would definitely make a move! It was a pity that they were both in a disadvantage. Even if Zhao Yunqin were to die, both sides would suffer. And when the time came, it would be the aristocratic families who will reap the benefits–and the gains wouldn’t even make up for the losses.

But regardless of what his strength was, Mo Linyuan did not show any signs of uncertainty on the expression of his face. He still acted as if victory was within his grasp.

“Have you decided? Royal Grandmother, you should understand what I mean.”

Zhao Yunqin forced herself to remain calm. “You…what exactly do you want? ” Now that the blade was pointed right in front of her and although she didn’t know why Mo Linyuan didn’t drive the sharp edge, she wisely chose not to provoke him.

When Mo Linyuan heard this, he paused for a moment before speaking.

“I would like to know where my royal father is.”

In the past, with Mo Linyuan’s absence in the country, she had always used the excuse that the emperor was gravely ill and was recuperating elsewhere to withhold him from the public and act as the regent. As a result, in these past few years, people had almost forgotten about the emperor, only assuming that he was dead somewhere.

However, that emperor was still, in fact, very much alive. She was sinisterly hidden by Zhao Yunqin, and the reason why she had kept him alive till today was because of a secret he would not reveal even if he was threatened with death.
