Facing General Luo, Gu Ruoyun’s expression calmed down but just as she was about to speak, her sharp eyes noticed an elegant figure who was standing a distance away from them.
She was as elegant as before and her exquisite makeup covered her original pale complexion. A trace of anger instantly flashed through Gu Ruoyun’s expression as she observed this woman.
That woman was still alive!
She had sent the Azure dragon out and yet she still lives! This was unfair! A woman as evil as her still roaming the earth, it was totally ridiculous!
“Greetings, Your Imperial Highness.”
Concubine Ling smiled as she walked towards Leng Moxuan’s side politely. “I heard that there was a person who wanted to assassinate Your Imperial Highness so I’ve come to see who that foolhardy person was!”
As she said this, her eyes swept over Gu Ruoyun. The coldness and elegance of her beautiful face shot out a stream of evil at her.
“Concubine Ling?”
A cold pair of eyes glared at Concubine Ling’s arrogant face. Gu Ruoyun laughed coldly, “You’ve arrived just in time! You had bribed the Dark Yin Palace and ordered them to assassinate me. However, they only ended up hurting the people close to me and even kidnapped a child to threaten me. As the person behind all this, how do you plan to settle this debt?”
Concubine Ling’s facial expression changed as she stared at Gu Ruoyun with hatred. She then turned to look at Leng Moxuan, timidly saying, “Your Imperial Highness, I have been wronged. All these years, all I did was to help Your Imperial Highness manage the Imperial Harem so how would I have the time to plan all this? It’s obvious that Gu Ruoyun thinks that it was not enough to murder my father and my nephew! She now wants to annihilate the entire Ling family! Such an evil woman should be chopped up into a thousand pieces and left to die without a complete corpse! If not, there would be no one else in Azure Dragon Country who can deal with her. She even dares to look down on you!”
All these words completely seeped into Leng Moxuan’s heart.
He laughed coldly, “General Gu, General Luo, what are the both of you still waiting for? Arrest this woman!”
“Understood!”
General Gu looked at Gu Ruoyun cruelly as he smirked. “Gu Ruoyun, it’s not me who wants you dead this time. You’ve crossed the line, don’t blame me for not thinking of our blood ties.”
He then ordered his soldiers to surround Gu Ruoyun.
General Luo hesitated and did not heed the order.
In that moment, Leng Moxuan raged, “General Luo, you’re really brave. You dared to not heed Our order! Do you not want to be a general anymore?”
Thud!
General Luo knelt down heavily on one knee and clutched his military seal in one hand. He said with a lowered head, “Your Imperial Highness, Gu Ruoyun is my only niece. Even if we aren’t related, I still believe what she had said. It was Concubine Ling’s fault to begin with. If Your Imperial Highness still wants to arrest her, it would be hard for me to follow your orders. It was wrong for Gu Ruoyun to barge into the Imperial Palace but she was not the only one who was wrong. Your Imperial Highness should question her and deal with Concubine Ling! A prince and a normal citizen committing the same crimes should be treated the same even if they are a concubine! If Your Imperial Highness does not give an explanation, I’ll gladly hand over my military seal and return to my hometown!”
It was obvious that General Luo’s actions proved that no matter what, he will stand on Gu Ruoyun’s side.
“Very well!!” Leng Moxuan laughed, “General Luo, since you have made such a decision, I shall honor it. General Gu, take this military seal. From now onwards, Azure Dragon Country will only have one general and that is you.”
