Chapter 344 - 342: Don’t Be Fierce to Me!
With absolute confidence, the Empress Dowager felt assured on this point.
Moreover, she did not just sense it, she ’saw’ it!
This counts as one of her innate divine techniques as a creature of good fortune.
With the Empress Dowager’s permission, Qin Yu hesitated no longer, and holding Yan Yu, he walked into the nearest room.
The door had just closed.
"Whoosh!"
In the next instant, the figures of Qin Yu and Yan Yu suddenly vanished.
"???"
The Empress Dowager was momentarily stunned, her eyes widened considerably, and she murmured, "Disappeared again?!"
Qin Yu had appeared out of thin air, and she hadn’t figured it out yet.
Now, he had disappeared with little Yan Yu.
This made the Empress Dowager want to open the door to take a closer look.
However, at the moment Qin Yu vanished, the girl beside her, who looked like a porcelain doll, suddenly turned deathly pale, her body even trembled slightly, swaying precariously.
"Little Ling’Er!"
The Empress Dowager’s face changed abruptly, and without a moment to spare for the whereabouts of Qin Yu and Yan Yu, she took the girl by her side, and with a swift movement, disappeared without a trace.
...
Inside the Phoenix Carriage.
The chamber was resplendent with gold and emerald, lacking the serene elegance favored by cultivators, replaced instead with a dazzling brilliance, sparkling everywhere.
Clearly showing the preferences of the owner of this place.
In the room, there was a peculiar bed, its canopy as light as mist, woven from fine silk, embroidered with several phoenixes poised to take flight, signifying status.
Particularly unique was that atop the bed was a swirling cold air, making the temperature in the entire room extremely low.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, the Empress Dowager appeared with the girl, the bed canopy gently swaying, as if the phoenixes on it were about to break free and fly away.
Only after lying on the bed, did the delicate Princess Ling’Er’s brows slowly relax, but her body instinctively curled into a ball, a sight that tugged at the heart.
"Little Ling’Er, are you feeling better?"
The Empress Dowager sat by the bed, not daring to blink, though there remained an imperceptible trace of doubt in her eyes.
Just moments ago, Ling’Er was perfectly fine.
Moreover, she seemed in much better spirits, how did she suddenly become like this?!
Never had such a thing happened before.
"Better now."
Ling’Er’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s, carrying an imperceptible tremor, yet she forced a smile, trying to comfort the Empress Dowager.
Her understanding and consideration only made the Empress Dowager more heartbroken, "Ling’Er, how did you suddenly become..."
The girl gently lowered her gaze, seeming lost in thought.
Just now, Qin Yu’s appearance was like a gentle ray of spring sunlight quietly falling on her, warming her whole body, even alleviating the condition within her body.
Moreover, as Qin Yu came closer, that warm feeling grew stronger, like the spring sun rising higher, enveloping her tightly.
If he weren’t a stranger, she might have wanted to approach and bask in that warmth at the time.
However, when Qin Yu moved away, even disappeared, it was as if that sunlight was suddenly obscured by clouds, plunging her back into a cold and fiery abyss of pain.
Because of this, her condition took a sharp turn, becoming increasingly severe.
The Empress Dowager had said she was taking her to find a ’sun’.
Could it be...
The Empress Dowager was about to inquire further when a phoenix-shaped Sound Transmission Stone on the side of the bed gently flickered, spreading delicate ripples of spiritual light.
Initially, she intended to ignore it, but recalling the events of the day, she reconsidered, eventually reaching out to answer the transmission.
Silence reigned on the other end of the Sound Transmission Stone, as if not expecting it to be answered. After a moment, an angry yet authoritative voice suddenly resonated in the Phoenix Carriage.
"It’s been over a year, yet you finally answer my transmission?!"
"Where are you, return with Ling’Er within three days!"
"Do you hear me, my words!"
The Empress Dowager’s hand trembled for a moment, then hurriedly disconnected the transmission.
That was close!
She patted her bosom, as if still somewhat startled.
In a fleeting moment, the light of the Sound Transmission Stone flickered again, illuminating the Empress Dowager’s face, full of hesitation.
She looked at the nearby small and helplessly curled up Little Ling’Er, eventually sighed softly, and mustered up the courage to answer the transmission.
"You...don’t be fierce with me!"
The Empress Dowager, pitifully spoke, with a hint of grievance in her voice, muttering softly, as if greatly frightened.
"Fine, fine then!"
The voice on the other side was low and suppressed, clearly struggling to contain its anger.
"You also can’t threaten me, otherwise, I won’t return."
The Empress Dowager said weakly, her voice growing softer, like an insect, evidently very afraid of the other party.
No choice.
The other side was none other than the supreme Great Yan Empress!
In the entire Great Yan Immortal Country, only this Empress dared to roar at her.
Damn!
I am the Empress Dowager, how can she be so fierce with me!
Clearly, she heard that even the Empress must listen to the Empress Dowager, she had been pestering the Empress to get this position.
But...
Why do I still have to listen to her?!
Wasn’t my position as the Empress Dowager for nothing?!
"Tell me, where are you now?!"
A moment of silence from the other side of the Sound Transmission Stone, finally, the voice of the Great Yan Empress, barely holding back her anger, came through the void.
This creature of good fortune had already fled the Imperial Capital with Ling’Er for over a year, during which the Empress sent out countless transmissions daily, all unanswered.
The Empress Dowager finally picking up the transmission likely meant something had happened.
Worried?
A little, but not much.
After all, she was a creature of good fortune.
"I met Little Yan Yu."
The Empress Dowager said.
"Hmm? Why did you meet Yan Yu, where did you run off to?!"
The Great Yan Empress felt a headache, with Yan Yu’s speed, it would take at least half a year to reach the Imperial Capital, this creature of good fortune certainly ran far!
But at least they know where she is now.
"What about Ling’Er? How is her condition?"
Seeing the Empress Dowager not answering, the Great Yan Empress didn’t wish to waste her breath on further questions.
"She..."
The Empress Dowager’s gaze fell upon that frail and curled-up figure, her eyes full of deep guilt.
She clearly sensed it, yet could never find it.
Because, that great sun, hasn’t appeared in a long time...
"Your Majesty, Ling... Ling’Er is fine, just misses Your Majesty dearly."
Little Ling’Er forced her heavy eyelids open, her voice carrying an undertone of undisguised weakness.
These words nearly broke the Great Yan Empress’s heart, making her long to rush to her side immediately.
Finally, the Empress Dowager hung her head, listening honestly to the reprimands coming through the Sound Transmission Stone.
