The Prodigal Son

Qin Yu felt that he was probably sick.

He knew perfectly well that Zhao Luan was manipulating him, yet he still thought there was some truth to what Zhao Luan said.

A friend in need is a friend indeed!

This is indeed the best time to see the people around you for who they truly are.

Qin Yu pondered silently for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Can I refuse?"

"Can't!"

Zhao Luan stopped pretending. "I will pardon your crimes as you wish! But since you have accepted the imperial edict, you are naturally responsible for organizing the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet! Otherwise, wouldn't this imperial edict become a joke?"

We can't refuse!

Then what the hell are you talking about?

This guy is clearly trying to pin the blame on me!

That's it!

Life is like that, since you can't fight it, just enjoy it!

When I become powerful in the future, I'll strip you of your imperial robes and make you sing "Conquer"!

Qin Yu's gaze swept over Zhao Luan's long legs, then he asked, "If I don't please the Empress Dowager, will His Majesty blame me?"

"Won't!"

Zhao Luan shook his head, "I will still protect you! I'll find you a quiet place to lay low for a while, and release you once the Empress Dowager has calmed down!"

Hearing Zhao Luan's words, Qin Yu was completely convinced.

He wanted to lock himself up to retaliate, and he said it in such a refined and elegant way!

"Then thank you very much, Your Majesty!"

Qin Yu was forced to take on this task.

Isn't it just about pleasing the Empress Dowager?

You want to lock yourself up and torture yourself? No way!

"Then it's settled! You think about how to proceed, and tell me what you need!"

As Zhao Luan finished speaking, she instructed Yun Ying, "Send two people to escort him back!"

Yun Ying accepted the order and immediately sent someone to take Qin Yu away.

After Qin Yu left, Shangguan Youyi immediately asked, puzzled, "The Empress Dowager originally intended to use the birthday banquet to make His Majesty lose faith in the world. Qin Yu thwarted the Empress Dowager's plan; can he still win her favor?"

"I hope he can do it!"

If Qin Yu can win over the Empress Dowager, then everything will be fine.

If Qin Yu fails to do so, she can use the pretext of protecting him to place him under house arrest, so as to prevent him from causing trouble all day long!

Otherwise, if he gets into a fight, he'll end up getting hurt too!

Release Qin Yu only after the bond between them has disappeared.

In addition, she also wanted to see whether Lü Si's provocation of Qin Yu to accept the imperial edict was just a squabble between two纨绔 (playboys) or someone wanted to use her to destroy the Qin family.

It would be even better if we could use this to expose some monsters and demons!

Therefore, this matter really has to be handled by Qin Yu!

Just as Zhao Luan was deep in thought, a female official rushed in to report: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei is throwing a tantrum outside the palace gates, clutching the memorial tablets of the Qin family martyrs, and demanding to join the late Emperor and Emperor Xiaowu..."

"..."

Zhao Luan's lips twitched, feeling both annoyed and amused.

That old villain!

The number one person below the Grandmaster level actually threw a tantrum outside the palace gates?

They've lost all sense of shame!

Zhao Luan cursed inwardly, then said calmly, "It's alright, he'll naturally understand when he sees Qin Yu..."

Halfway through her sentence, Zhao Luan's eyelids suddenly twitched.

not good!

With Qin Laohu's violent temper, he would definitely give Qin Yu a good beating if he saw him!

Then you'll feel the pain too!

Thinking of this, Zhao Luan suddenly realized something and hurriedly ordered Yun Ying, "Quickly, go and keep an eye on Qin Yu! I'll be there soon!"

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Yun Ying and Shangguan Youyi both looked completely bewildered.

"Go quickly!"

Zhao Luan didn't have time to explain and hurriedly ran outside.

Qin Fumeng cannot fight Qin Yu today, and he cannot fight Qin Yu until his bond with Qin Yu disappears!

Seeing Zhao Luan's anxious appearance, Yun Ying didn't dare to delay and rushed out immediately.

Outside, Qin Yu was leaving the palace, escorted by two imperial guards.

"stop!"

Suddenly, Yunying's voice came from behind.

Qin Yu turned around and immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

not good!

The female demon was probably still angry and wanted her guards to deal with her!

She pardoned herself, but her guards came and beat her again!

Then he'd say: "I have pardoned you, but if they want to beat you up, that's none of my business!"

This tactic is all too familiar!

The wind is tight, shout!

Qin Yu glanced at the imperial guards escorting him, "No need for you to see me off, I can go back by myself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yu immediately activated Wolf's Fury and Flash.

call out!

Before the two imperial guards could even react, Qin Yu had already run quite a distance.

"Quick, after them!"

Seeing Qin Yu run away, Yun Ying quickly gave chase.

He ran, she chased!

He wanted to sprout wings and fly.

Whether it was the explosion of potential or the activation of the Qin family's barbarian bloodline, Qin Yu made a quick escape.

Qin Yu ran out of the palace, holding his breath. As soon as he reached the palace gate, he heard an exaggerated cry.

"Your Majesty, what a misfortune for my family! What shame I have!"

"If only I had followed you in death!"

"Emperor Xiaowu, this old minister misses you so much! Let this old minister go to the netherworld and lead your horse for you..."

Qin Yu rushed out of the palace gate and saw an old man with gray hair lying at the palace gate, throwing a tantrum while holding several memorial tablets.

The palace guards didn't dare to help, and since they couldn't just watch, they simply knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

Qin Yu's eyelids twitched.

That is……

Old man!

"Old man, what are you doing?"

Qin Yu turned back, panting heavily, and asked.

Qin Fumeng's crying suddenly stopped.

Qin Fumeng was taken aback when he saw his grandson standing in front of him, panting heavily.

Then, she burst into tears!

"My dear grandson! It's all my fault for being useless; I couldn't save you!"

Qin Fumeng burst into tears, and dropped the memorial tablet he was holding on the ground.

Qin Yu's face darkened. "Old man, do you have to get so worked up?"

Qin Fu wiped away his tears and wailed, "My dear grandson, don't stand in the sun! Don't let your soul dissipate! Go under the eaves quickly, let Grandpa look at you a little longer..."

What is that?

Qin Yu smirked, looking at the old man with a speechless expression.

So he thinks he's a ghost?

"I'm perfectly fine! What the hell are you crying about!"

As Qin Yu spoke, he stepped forward to help Qin Fumeng up, saying, "Get up quickly, don't embarrass yourself here!"

Ok?

He's not dead?

Qin Fu was startled and quickly grabbed Qin Yu's hand and squeezed it.

It's hot!

It has a body!

"You...you're really not dead?"

Qin Fumeng looked at his grandson in disbelief.

That doesn't make sense!

He was released just as I was exerting my strength?

Didn't His Majesty shout for war and slaughter yesterday?

Why are you suddenly being so easy to talk to today?

"nonsense!"

Qin Yu bent down to pick up the memorial tablet from the ground, urging, "Hurry up, His Majesty's men are catching up!"

What?

His Majesty's men are catching up?

Qin Fumeng's expression changed drastically.

The next moment, Qin Fu grabbed Qin Yu and roared with fire in his eyes.

"You beast, how dare you escape from prison!"

Before Qin Yu could react, Qin Fumeng's fists rained down on him.

"Holy crap..."

"You old bastard, you're fucking insane!"

"I didn't escape! Ouch..."

Qin Yu screamed repeatedly.

Qin Fumeng not only ignored him, but also resorted to the battlefield tactic of grabbing someone's tongue.

He covered his mouth with one hand and unleashed the Pegasus Meteor Fist with the other.

Under the absolute suppression of Qin Fumeng's power, Qin Yu had no power to resist and could not even cry out. He could only frantically accuse his great-grandmother in his heart.

How could I have given birth to such a bastard!

She's got some tricks up her sleeve, and she's using them all on her own grandson!

At this moment, Yunying finally caught up with her men.

Seeing Qin Yu being brutally beaten, the group not only did not stop him, but instead watched with glee.

I told you not to run!

Weren't you running pretty fast just now?

Why aren't you running anymore?

Live it!

Yeah, beat them up, beat them up hard!

Yun Ying silently cheered for Qin Fumeng in her heart.

"stop!"

Suddenly, a furious voice exploded in Qin Fumeng's ears.

Upon seeing Zhao Luan, Qin Fumeng was momentarily stunned.

But Qin Fumeng not only didn't stop, he attacked even more fiercely.

"You beast, scream harder, scream more pitifully!"

Qin Fu lowered his voice to remind him, releasing Qin Yu's mouth, but his fists continued to pound.

"You beast!"

"They dared to escape from prison?"

"My Qin family has served the emperor and the country for three generations, and we are a family of loyal martyrs. Even if we die, we, the men of the Qin family, will die with honor!"

Qin Fu roared furiously, as if afraid Zhao Luan wouldn't hear him...
