199 What Goes Around Comes Around 1

"Your Imperial Highness, a disaster is imminent!"

In the Imperial Study, Emperor Leng Moxuan had been having a discussion with his subjects. At this very moment, a eunuch, who had not announced his arrival at all, scrambled into the study. When he saw Leng Moxuan’s unhappy face, he immediately said, "Your Imperial Highness, Gu Ruoyun from the Gu household has forced her way into the Palace!"

"What?"

Leng Moxuan was outraged. He said with a steely, pale face, "Three years ago, no matter how rampant that Gu Ruoyun was, even when she had Concubine Ling’s family killed, We have never condemned her! But now, just because she thinks she has the Hundred Herb Hall to back her up, she actually looks down on Us and Azure Dragon Country! I want to see how the Hundred Herb Hall will defend her this time!"

Honestly, even if He was as trusting of the Ling family now, they were still relatives of Concubine Ling and they were also His important subjects. Gu Ruoyun had wanted to kill them and she had done so without any mercy. Only because of her relationship with Elder Yu from the Hundred Herb Hall did He not hold her accountable for it.

However, at this moment, even if the Hundred Herb Hall were to come forward they could not continue to defend her! Or else, how was the Hundred Herb Hall going to make a stand on this land?

He did not believe that the Hundred Herb Hall would become the topic of discussion of the public just because of one woman!

He thought for a while and continued, "I want one of you to go summon General Luo and General Gu for me! Today, I want to persecute that woman!"

No matter what, Leng Moxuan was the Emperor of the country. Now that someone had crossed the line in bullying Him, where does His dignity lie? This Gu Ruoyun really did not know her place, actually acting so arrogantly in Azure Dragon Country!

…

In the Imperial City, everyone witnessed Gu Ruoyun charging towards the Imperial Palace with a group of murderous people. A fervent discussion broke out immediately. Following that, they saw General Luo and General Gu leading the army and hurriedly making their way towards the Palace. With that, they knew that today the Imperial City was going to be bloody.

In the Imperial Garden, Gu Ruoyun coldly looked at the guards that surrounded her with insolence appearing on the corners of her lips. She yelled with an emotionless face, "Back off!"

Boom!

A strong burst of Qi hit the guards in the chest and in that split moment, the group of guards was all thrown into the air with their mouths spraying fresh blood. However, more guards came from all corners and surrounded Gu Ruoyun in the middle once again.

Suddenly, a domineering and overbearing voice came from behind of the guards with an unsuppressed rage, "Gu Ruoyun, you really are very daring! We had acknowledged the fact that you are a part of the Hundred Herb Hall so We have tolerated you but now you’ve gone too far! Even if Elder Yu were to come now, he cannot defend you at all!"

The chill from Gu Ruoyun’s body increased but her delicate and pretty face was calm. Her clear eyes stared quietly at the figure dressed in regal yellow coming from the behind the guards.

"My reason for being here has nothing to do with you. Hand over Concubine Ling or else I don’t mind bathing this Palace in blood!"

Leng Moxuan was completely enraged and his heart was consumed by limitless anger. He said as he gnashed his teeth, "Gu Ruoyun, you’ve killed Ling Yi and Ling Yu and have even crippled the Ling family’s only heir. That was all bygones but now, you actually have the audacity to come to the Imperial Palace and demand for Concubine Ling! If the Hundred Herb Hall were to defend you this time, it would be completely ludicrous! Do you think that by being this arrogant, Elder Yu would defend you like he did?"

After all, Leng Moxuan was the ruler of the kingdom. Firstly, he was angered by Gu Ruoyun. Secondly, every powerful influence of the four countries did not have the right to meddle with the Imperial Family! This was a rule which was understood by everyone. If the Three Great Authorities were to find out about this, the Hundred Herb Hall would be in deep trouble!
