BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1530: I Hold You, Rest
“This item is quite evil. An Jiuyue, better not to touch it. Let him hold onto it.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll stick them all onto Lan Zhengfeng without missing a single one,”
“Good.”
An Jiuyue nodded.
She didn’t really believe that these charms could do anything; they were just tricks used by Taoist priests to deceive people.
But just because she didn’t believe, didn’t mean Lan Zhengfeng didn’t either. Looking at his eyes now, he was so terrified that he wasn’t even afraid of death anymore; he was just afraid that she would stick these charms on him, which made her feel quite vindicated.
When they used these things on her mother back then, why didn’t they ever consider that they might end up in the same situation? It truly served them right.
The two of them quickly dealt with Lan Zhengfeng’s affairs—of course, it was all done by Qian Jiyun while An Jiuyue just watched.
Afterward, they took a few children back to Ming Gu County, placed them in the medical center, left behind a bottle of antidote pills, and then departed.
They didn’t hurry to leave Ming Gu County right away but first went to the Lan household to see if the remaining people of the Lan family deserved to live.
Unexpectedly, the people of the Lan family were indeed disgustingly vile, and the common people of Ming Gu County had also suffered greatly from the harm they had caused.
Compared to the previous Luoyang-Shao family, they were equally reprehensible, if not more so.
Thus, there was no reason for the people of the Lan family to keep living. Those who had committed evil were all directly dragged to the city gates and executed, women included, as they all had blood on their hands.
“This Lan family, really is…”
Sitting on the back of a triceratops, hurrying back to the capital, An Jiuyue didn’t even know how to describe the Lan family anymore.
They were nothing but a small family, yet they managed to climb higher and higher by seizing tiny opportunities, without ever considering doing good deeds, invariably choosing to commit utterly conscienceless acts.
By doing so, they were deliberately risking their own lives; in this case, their deaths were not unjust, and they indeed had it coming.
When they left Ming Gu County, they saw the common people spitting at the bloodstains on the execution grounds, showing just how deeply the Lan family was hated to the bone.
“Stop thinking about it. I’ll hold you, rest.” Qian Jiyun didn’t want her to dwell on those who shouldn’t be in her thoughts. He held her in his arms and forced her to rest.
An Jiuyue wasn’t tired, but since they traveled at night on the triceratops, she should sleep. So she peacefully fell into a deep sleep in Qian Jiyun’s embrace.
Since Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue left the capital, the old emperor, leveraging the absence of Eldest Brother Yan by their side, indeed made several disturbances.
But Eldest Brother Yan wasn’t easy to bully, and he managed to suppress the old emperor thoroughly each time.
‘Bang!’
A loud noise erupted as a two-meter tall vase directly fell on the old emperor, shattering and making a tremendous sound.
“Damn it, does that scoundrel really think I can’t handle him? What exactly is happening at the southern border? Didn’t I order you to rush there at top speed? Why is there still no news?”
His bloodshot eyes turned fiercely towards the eunuch cowering at his side, and he barked his question.
“Your Majesty, news from the southern border won’t arrive so quickly,”
The eunuch was helpless and speechless; that was the southern border they were talking about, not the Luoyang Residence close to their capital. Even if they had sent someone to gather intelligence about Prince De, it would still take time.
Only a few days had passed, and it was likely that the people they sent hadn’t even reached the southern border yet.
