Chapter 197: The Disaster of Rosy
The two then followed Rosy, and Yao Tianshang naturally followed Yang Chen.
"The most heartless is the imperial family; killing someone is just a matter of words. Sigh..." Luo Tianyou looked at the bloodstains on the ground and sighed.
"Tianshang, you will stay here," Rosy said, pointing to a side room.
"Thank you, Celestial Empress. I take my leave," he said, giving Yang Chen a look that seemed to wish him good luck. In Yao Tianshang's view, Li Feng was simply seeking death, and Yang Chen was merely fulfilling his wish. Moreover, he had even secured a position for his father as the lord controlling the Eighteen Cities; his death was entirely a gain.
"Husband, you will stay next door. I will take Sister Mingyue away first and won't keep you company," Rosy said coldly.
Yang Chen pulled Rosy's hand and said, "Rosy, can't you accept what I have done?"
"Li Feng came to apologize in the first place, and he hasn't committed any major crime. You have already forgiven him; why still grant him death?" Rosy questioned.
Tian Mingyue tugged at Rosy and softly said, "Sister Rosy, your husband has his reasons for doing this; we shouldn't concern ourselves with it."
"Sister Mingyue, you don't understand. The Yang Chen I knew before was not like this. He wouldn't kill a human for no reason, nor would he force someone to death like this!" Rosy stared into Yang Chen's eyes and said coldly.
"If you cannot accept me like this, now or in the future, then you should leave me," Yang Chen said after a moment of silence.
"You! Fine! Yang Chen, consider this my mistake in knowing you. You got what you wanted from Yongbing Eighteen Cities and think you can just ignore me now? Fine! I'll act as if I've never met you!" Rosy's eyes filled with tears as she spoke, then she broke free from Tian Mingyue's hand and ran out crying.
"Husband, you can't say that to Sister Rosy! Husband, Mingyue isn't blaming you; perhaps what you've done really isn't right. Please think about it carefully. I'll go after Sister Rosy," Tian Mingyue said softly before chasing after Rosy.
Watching the two run out one after the other, Yang Chen remained silent for a moment before quietly saying, "Am I really wrong?"
"No! Celestial Emperor, you are not wrong! As an emperor, one must govern alone; how can one let others' words affect the decisions of the Celestial Emperor?" Yao Tianshang pushed open the door and stepped out, speaking solemnly.
“The Way of the Emperor, I understand better than you. It's just that I don't want those who care about me to be hurt because of me,” Yang Chen said seriously.
“Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but Consort Qian's interference in court affairs is already a violation of the laws of the harem, so I believe…” Yao Tian Shang had not finished speaking when Yang Chen coldly interrupted, “Shut up!”
“Is my consort someone you are qualified to comment on?”
“Celestial Emperor, honest words are often hard to hear! The harem must not interfere in politics; this has been the rule since ancient times, and the Celestial Emperor has emphasized this point before,” Yao Tian Shang said again.
“Be quiet, I understand.” Yang Chen took a deep breath, calming down slightly, and said, “Tian Shang, you should rest. I want to be alone for a while.”
“Yes, Celestial Emperor. I take my leave.” After saying this, Yao Tian Shang retreated back to his room.
Yang Chen also pushed open his own door and walked inside.
“My heart as an emperor is still not enough,” Yang Chen sighed and said bitterly. “An emotional emperor, I have yet to learn how to be.”
“To speak of an unfeeling emperor, I am not unfeeling enough, not ruthless enough, and not cunning enough. To speak of being emotional, I do not wish for anyone to interfere in my decisions; I cannot handle state affairs with emotions,” Yang Chen reflected inwardly.
Knock knock knock. A series of urgent knocks sounded at the door. “Husband, please open the door quickly.”
Yang Chen softly said, “The door is not locked; come in.”
Just after he spoke, Tian Mingyue burst in and said urgently, “Husband, Sister Qian took advantage of her familiarity with Yongbing Eighteen Cities and left Mingyue behind to go out of the city alone.”
“You mean Qian has left the territory of Yongbing Eighteen Cities?” Yang Chen asked.
“Yes. From Sister Qian's appearance, it seems she intends to venture into the wilderness. That’s why Mingyue rushed back to find you,” Tian Mingyue said anxiously.
“The wilderness? For Yongbing Princess, the wilderness is not very frightening. You should rest; I will negotiate with Yongbing Wang and have him send someone into the wilderness to look for Qian,” Yang Chen gently reassured her.
"Dear husband, will you let Mingyue sleep with you tonight?" Tian Mingyue said shyly.
Yang Chen looked at Tian Mingyue's bashful expression, nodded, and replied, "Alright, you can rest first."
"Yes, husband, Mingyue will wait for you," Tian Mingyue said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's.
Yang Chen nodded and then walked out.
"Tianshang, immediately head to the Return to Immortal Kingdom and deliver my decree. Search for Qian'er across the Four Continents. You must find her within a day," Yang Chen instructed at the entrance of the Yao Tianshang.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor."
Then, under the guidance of Tianyou Yongbing, Yang Chen arrived at Luo Tianyou's room.
"Taishan Lord, after arguing with me for a bit, Qian'er left via the teleportation array. I am worried about her safety; please send Yongbing to search everywhere," Yang Chen said anxiously.
"Dear nephew, Qian'er is just a bit wild; you don't need to worry. Let her calm down," Luo Tianyou said nonchalantly.
"No! Taishan Lord, I am increasingly uneasy. Please listen to me!" Yang Chen said directly in a commanding tone.
Luo Tianyou looked at Yang Chen's genuine expression and nodded, saying, "If Qian'er knew how much you cared for her, she would surely be very happy." He then shouted loudly, "Come here! Mobilize all Yongbing to find Qian'er. She’s about to get married and is running around everywhere."
"Yes, Commander!" someone outside responded.
"Taishan Lord, I will go arrange things first," Yang Chen said softly before turning to leave.
"Tian Cang Huang Li," Yang Chen whispered as he reached a corner.
Immediately, three shadows appeared before Yang Chen, kneeling on one knee and saying, "We pay our respects to the Pavilion Master."
"Release the highest mission, find Roxie in Four Continents for me! Time limit: one day!" Yang Chen commanded coldly.
"Yes, Lord!" The three then vanished in an instant, having used 'Ghostly Step'.
"Thump, thump, thump." Yang Chen's heartbeat quickened, a sense of frustration rising within.
"Could it be that Xier is really in trouble?" Yang Chen murmured.
"If Xier is really in trouble, I will punish you, Nine Clans!" Yang Chen shouted coldly, his aura suddenly erupting.
"Bang!" With a crisp sound, Roxie's name on the Celestial Ranking dimmed.
Yang Chen seemed to sense something and hurriedly took out the Celestial Ranking, feeling a chill in his heart. He then angrily shouted, "Who is it! I will punish you, Nine Clans!"
As he spoke, he continued to infuse the power of fortune into Roxie's name on the Celestial Ranking.
One hour later
"Celestial Emperor, news just came from Slaughter City. A woman was found eight hundred meters outside of Slaughter City, and according to reports, she is likely to be the Consort." A figure appeared beside Yang Chen and said.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen immediately used Demon God Flash to rush toward the teleportation array. At the same time, he continued to infuse fortune into Roxie's name on the Celestial Ranking.
