My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 129: Lou Mu Yans Dead?

The news that Lan Si brought made the Lou Clans father and son fall into deep thought.

Have you investigated the force that attempted to assassinated Yaner? Lou Zhan Tian asked.

Lan Si slid his fingertip over the rim of the teacup and after a long pause, he replied: I suspect that there are influential officials of the Empire who colluded with other kingdoms powers. After all, Le Xiang and Hu Fei taking action against Lou Mu Yan meant that they should be chess pieces buried in Yanzhou Kingdom by that force.

Lou Mo Yu tapped his fingers irregularly on the table. Lan Sis words were exactly what they had guessed. If they followed this clue, then the Gu Clan was most suspicious.

Lan Si, now our main concern is when my familys Yaner could safely return. Lou Mo Yu temporarily put aside the complex affairs of the Kingdom. What he worried most about now was the safety of his treasured daughter.

Ling Yue Xins beautiful face was filled with worries, and there was a haze in her eyes: If any misfortune befalls my daughter, your Empire Academy wont be removed from the responsibility either. After all, that person named Hu Fei is your Trial instructor this time.

If anything happened to her baby girl, she must make the Empire Academy pay the price.

To begin with, she didnt approve of Yaner going to the Glacial Mountain Range for some Trial. If it werent that the Principal found her husband to discuss the details and guaranteed Yaners safety, how could she put her daughter in that kind of danger.

Lan Si also knew that this time Lou Mu Yan being knocked into the lava pond by Hu Fei was also the Academys responsibility. If it werent for Monarch Ming taking action to kill Hu Fei, he wouldve wanted to tear his body into thousands of pieces too.

Originally, he was just left as bait for fishing, but who knew he turned out to be a scourge in the end. This was also a lesson to be learned.

Dont worry. I can guarantee that Lou Mu Yan will be fine.

With the strength of Monarch Ming, he probably already found Lou Mu Yan. If even then she died, then Monarch Ming neednt bother living.

Despite hearing such assurance from Lan Si, the hearts of those in the Lou Clan were still not at ease. Now, Ling Yue Xin always carried the Soul Tablet, which had Lou Mu Yans Soul Energy within it, everywhere. Only when the Soul Tablet was intact could they temporarily feel relieved.

In a beautiful, imposing, and majestic Mansion in the Imperial Capital.

Gu Yan Ran played chess with Gu Yuan Kai in the study, when a black-clothed man suddenly appeared in the room on one knee.

Gu Yuan Kai stared at the chess game without lifting his eyelids and asked: Is Lou Mu Yan really dead?

The man in black replied respectfully: This subordinate has discovered what happened that day. If theres no accident, then Lou Mu Yan would definitely have died.

Then, he revealed the news that he inquired about, and he didnt hide the fact that Monarch Ming went into the lava to search for Lou Mu Yan.

Gu Yan Rans originally gentle and pleasant temperament had already undergone earth-shaking changes. There was always a lingering haze on her face, unable to be rid of, her face was pale, and her entire person looked gloomy and depressive.

Hearing that the masked man in red who rescued Lou Mu Yan at the auction last time disregarded his life and jumped into the lava to look for her, the jealousy in Gu Yan Rans eyes appeared as if it were about to erupt. She gritted her teeth and said bitterly: That womans just a vixen. This way of death is too easy on her.

Gu Yan Ran wasnt reconciled. In her heart, she didnt want Lou Mu Yan to die like this. It wasnt pity, but instead, the hatred in her heart made her want to torture Lou Mu Yan to death with her own hands.

Gu Yuan Kai placed a black chess piece on the board, his face calm, and his voice was stern: Yan Ran, you lost.

Gu Yan Ran looked down at the chessboard, feeling even more annoyed. Her expression was full of grievance: Dad, daughter really cant swallow this anger.

Now that her dantian was destroyed by Lou Mu Yan, and her entire cultivation base was useless, she would be gloated about and looked at with contempt and sympathy if she went outside. How she hated!

Once she was the most dazzling pearl in the freshman class of the Empire Academy. Lou Mu Yan was just a trash grit that chased after Chi Yi Xuan. Now she also tasted what it felt like to become trash, but it also made her feel even more resentful against Lou Mu Yan.

Yan Ran, that person already promised to repair your dantian after the matters done. The loss of your cultivation base is only temporary. Lou Mu Yan is also just a touchstone for you to grow into a strong person. You shouldnt accumulate too much resentment against her, otherwise youll definitely be troubled by heart demons in the future.

Gu Yuan Kai was a clear-headed and rational person. He didnt agree with his daughters endless hatred towards Lou Mu Yan. If a heart demon appeared, then itd be exceptionally difficult in the future to advance to a high-level Sword Master.

Gu Yan Ran also knew that what her dad said was truth, but the long-standing grievances had already been buried in her, so how could it be resolved. Unless she personally killed Lou Mu Yan, then could her hatred by dispelled.

Dad, when that time comes, I want to massacre the Lou Clan with my own hands. A ruthless look flashed in Gu Yan Rans eyes. Even if Lou Mu Yan died, shed also make the Lou Clan pay the price by having their entire clan exterminated.

Gu Yuan Kai not only didnt feel frightened by Gu Yan Rans cruelty but was instead very gratified. This was right. This was the daughter he had carefully nurtured.

Alright. Ill let you personally exterminate the entire Lou Clan when that time comes.

The next day, Lou Zhan Tian took Lou Mo Yu into the palace to find the Emperor and the Imperial Teacher to settle their debts, and also personally led people to smash the Empire Academys inscribed boards.

Afterwards, the door of the Lou Clan remained closed and there was a faint sound of crying that came from within.

This also confirmed the news that Lou Mu Yan had died in the Glacial Mountain Range. In addition to those who gloated and watched the good show, there were also some people who sympathised and felt sorry about it.

The Lou Clans father and son did this as they wanted to let the secret forces in the dark relax their vigilance and lure the snake out of the cave.

As if they would tolerate venomous snakes on the bed, spying from the darkness¹. Failure to remove them wasnt only harmful to the Lou Clan, but also to the entire Empire.

A secret room in the Imperial Palace.

A middle-aged man in a purple robe sat on the main seat, and the Emperor Yun Tian Chen and Imperial Teacher Yun Cang sat beneath him with respectful expressions.

The man held a string of Buddhist beads in his hand. Each black bead was very smooth, and could be seen that it was caused by frequent rubbing, Lou Mu Yan is really dead?

According to the current information, she should be dead. Yun Cang sighed. It was a pity for such a good seedling that was Lou Mu Yan. He originally even wanted Ruan Li to focus on raising her.

Yun Tian Chen was silent for a while and said: I feel that Lou Mu Yan may not be dead.

Hearing what the Emperor said, the purple-clothed mans expressionless face displayed a bit of interest, Why do you say so?

I found that the Lou Clans reaction to the news of Lou Mu Yans death appeared normal on the surface, but theres just something that feels wrong.

Yun Tian Chen paused, then continued to say: I know that all the descendants of the Lou Clans main bloodline have a Soul Tablet. You would know whether ones dead or not by looking at the Soul Tablet, so whether Lou Mu Yan was dead or not after falling into the lava pool, the Lou Clan would know the clearest.

Coming to the Imperial Palace to cause trouble and smashing the Empire Academys inscribed board, although it appeared to be venting, but based on my understanding of the Marshal and General Lou, if the Lou girl really died, then they would definitely have already done something crazy long ago, and not just touch the surface of things.

Yun Cang furrowed his brows and asked: You mean to say they did it for others to see?

Indeed. Let alone the Lou Clans fear of that hidden power, even our Imperial Family must also find the power that will secretly endanger Yanzhou Kingdom. Yun Tian Chen nodded.

The middle-aged man in purple chuckled lightly and his eyes that looked at Yun Tian Chen carried a rare hint of admiration.

Indeed. The Lou Clan is indeed pretending. That old little kid Lou Zhan Tian already came to find This Honour² to discuss this.

¹I think its a play on How could one tolerate people snoring by their side on the bed? Also meaning, How could one tolerate others encroaching on own territory? Similar idea, how could one allow snakes to encroach their territory.

²honestly, Chinese people and their love of addressing themselves with their own titles instead of me/I to show their status like (This Highness used by Ming Xiu), (This Monarch used by Bing Ji), now used by this person lol. I even considered This Magnificence to translate but thats just too much now HAHA. Honestly Im just randomly assigning a word to them now. XD After translating to Sword Venerable, I even considered changing to This Venerable, but even when the same word is used, sometimes it might have slightly different connotations, so I left it. Plus I wasnt bothered HAHA. Now, I just remembered that theres still Your Excellency that I havent used. Hmmm, who should I use that for next HAHA

Edit: Somehow I found out that might actually translate to Your Honour so I changed it. Now where can I use This Eminence now that Ive got that too hmmmm. Honestly, its not important. Im just being fussy.
