Chapter 942: "Empress Dowager (1)"

Chapter 942: "Empress Dowager (1)"

If Jun Xie was truly going to do that, then all that the Emperor had previously done in scheme was deemed for nought.  

Even when Jun Xie knew the secret behind the Ring of Imperial Fire, he still held nothing but disdain for the throne of the Fire Country. The Emperor turned to look fearfully at Jun Xie and he could not help but think. [If he had not harboured thoughts of eradicating Jun Xie right from the start, if he had treated Jun Xie exactly like how he had treated all the other youths, would that mean that none of this would have happened?]

Alas, there was no medicine or cure for regrets under these heavens!

The Emperor sat trembling in his throne, and he suddenly felt cold and his body chilled. The chill ran through his entire body which suddenly made his own ring on his finger feel icy cold.

"I am the Empress Dowager"s grandson….. She will not….. She will not help you….." Till the last moment, the Emperor was still struggling against the fact.

"Oh? Is that so?" Jun Wu Xie"s lips curled up at the corners in a cold smile.

From the back of the main hall, three figures suddenly appeared.

The Grand Adviser was with the real Qu Ling Yue, and an old lady with a full head of white hair walked slowly into the main hall.

"Empress Dowager!" Lei Xi who had been been standing dazed within the main hall suddenly gasped in surprise when he saw the Empress Dowager.

The Emperor screamed out immediately: "Grandmother! Save your grandson! This conniving thief wants to take your grandson"s life!"

The Fire Country"s Empress Dowager was already coming close to a hundred years old and the long years had left indelible traces of its pa.s.sing on her countenance, but the poised and unperturbed demeanor she carried herself with however stood out the most.

Since the pa.s.sing of the First Emperor of this line, the Empress Dowager had a.s.sisted the late Emperor to ascend the throne. And after the late Emperor handed the throne down to her grandson, she had completely closed herself off and lived in seclusion within the Imperial Palace, never interfering with all affairs, big or small, be it in the Imperial Court or back within the Imperial Harem, never once asking about a single thing, to the extent that many of the Court Officials who attended Court every morning had almost forgotten the existence of the Empress Dowager.

Only the Emperor knew, that the one who held the most powerful fighters of the Fire Country, was the Empress Dowager herself!

Although she never once asked about Court matters, there wasn"t a single thing she did not know about what went on around her.

"Imperial Grandmother! Imperial Grandmother! Save your grandson!" The Emperor was almost scrambling and crawling as he escaped to come to the Empress Dowager"s feet. At that moment, the Emperor showed not a single ounce of the dominating air a ruler should possess, his old and tired face covered in tear streaks, his eyes filled with terror.

The Empress Dowager stood composed and dignified within the main hall, her deep and calm eyes tinged with the wisdom of one who had seen much trials. She looked down silently at the Emperor who was crying like a boy at her feet and she gave a heavy sigh.

"Does Your Majesty still remember the Decree the First Emperor laid down? Members of the Lei Family, always stand by their word. Do you still remember the circ.u.mstances under which the First Emperor ascended to the throne? When your Father handed the throne down to you, he had reminded you time and time again. So why are you now still so stubbornly attached to authority and power?"

The Empress Dowager was looking at the Emperor with helplessness in her eyes.

"Imperial Grandmother….." The Emperor looked up in astonishment, not believing he was hearing what the Empress Dowager was saying.

The last vestiges of hope that had just barely risen in his heart had been severed once more. The words of the Empress Dowager had just admitted that Jun Xie possessed the right to become the Emperor of the Fire Country. With the Imperial Decree drafted by the First Emperor himself in the Empress Dowager"s hands, those very words alone would be enough to forced the Emperor to abdicate the throne!

The Empress Dowager turned to look at Jun Xie. This was the first time that she was seeing the youth who possessed the Ring of Imperial Fire. When she had previously heard from Wen Yu telling her that the possessor of the Ring of Imperial Fire had appeared, her heart had been filled with surprise and joy. She had not thought that her own grandson would be so muddled in his head, to defy the First Emperor"s decree, and tried to kill off the possessor of the Ring of Imperial Fire.

Chapter 943: "Empress Dowager (2)"

Looking at the delicately attractive and pet.i.te sized youth in front of her, the Empress" gaze fell upon the Ring of Imperial Fire upon Jun Xie"s hand.

"How are you related to Lei Qian?" The Empress Dowager asked gently.

Jun Wu Xie shook her head.

The Empress Dowager then asked: "This ring, belonged to the First Emperor"s Elder Brother, the Emperor of the Fire Country in his time, Lei Qian."

"Since you came to possess this ring, you must be linked to him in some way. But no matter, the First Emperor"s Imperial Decree is here, and since you are the possessor of the Ring of Imperial Fire, then from this day onwards, you will be the Fire Country"s Emperor."

Jun Wu Xie was just about to say something.

But the Empress Dowager continued on: "I know the Emperor had been guilty of quite a few wrongs that he had committed, and it is completely reasonable that you hold hatred against him. I do not plead for anything else from you, but to only ask that you spare him his life. Rest a.s.sured that henceforth, I will bring him back to my palace, and discipline his strictly, and will not allow him to create any more trouble for you."

The Empress Dowager had abided by the First Emperor"s decree, but she could not bear to see her grandson"s life end just like this. She had been herself with Wen Yu and Qu Ling Yue in a secret room at the back of the main hall for a long while and everything single word that the Empress had said earlier, she had heard them all clearly.

"Sure." Jun Wu Xie nodded her head. Killing someone off would be too easy for them, moreover she had not intended to take the Emperor"s life anyway. Instead of slicing a knife across his throat, it would be better that he was trapped within the Imperial Palace, and forced to witness the throne of the Emperor he valued the most, falling into the hands of the person he disliked the most, Lei Chen. The heart rending torment and the burning jealousy, would be hundred folds more agonizing for him!

"But, I need him to first hand over something to me." Jun Wu Xie said, her eyes narrowing.

"What is it?" The Empress Dowager asked.

"A piece of human skin map." Jun Wu Xie then replied.

The forlorn and despondent Emperor had suddenly stiffened his body when he heard Jun Wu Xie"s words, his eyes suddenly showing astonishment and disbelief.

And even for Wen Yu standing at the side, a strange glint had flashed in his eyes very briefly as well.

"Human skin map?" The Empress Dowager was obviously unaware of this as she looked down and asked the Emperor. "Do you have it? If you do, then hand it over."

The Emperor shook his head vehemently and the fear showing on his fear was even more intense than earlier.

"Imperial Grandmother….. your Grandson cannot….. cannot hand that map to anyone! Or your grandson will die! Those people will definitely take your grandson"s live!" The Emperor"s voice had completely distored suddenly.

"Those people?" The Empress Dowager still did not understand.

The Emperor said sobbingly: "Imperial Grandmother, do you still remember how the First Emperor"s Elder Brother went missing?"

The Empress Dowager replied: "Elder Brother Lei Qian had suddenly wanted to bring some men to go to a place outside of the Fire Country, but no one had mentioned where he was going to. How is that linked to this matter?"

The Emperor then said: "It is exactly because of that map! That was why Lei Qian had gone missing! That map was found by your Grandson while I was sorting through the items Father had left behind. But not long after your Grandson had just found that map, several mysterious men suddenly appeared. They held extraordinary powers, all of them possessing Purple Spirits. They told your grandson that they gave that map to Lei Qian many years ago but the map was not complete. They had wanted Lei Qian to use the Fire Country"s might to help them complete the entire map and it was because Lei Qian had gone out to search for the place indicated on the map that he finally disappeared….."

The Emperor was getting more fearful the more he spoke. Under the vast heavens, the things that could drive fear into the ruler of the mightiest country was few and far between. But the astounding power of those men caused the Emperor to fear even the thought of disobeying them!
