Chapter 2183: Chapter 2183: Something Bad Has Happened

The little one glanced at his mother, then at his father, who was ready to feed him.

But he didn’t want to behave obediently. What should he do?

An Jiuyue looked at the little one’s face, which was full of grievance, on the verge of tears, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Alright, Nuonuo is so good. Let your father feed you, and once you’re done eating, Mother will take you to the garden to pick flowers. We’ll make a garland for your father, okay?”

Little Nuonuo didn’t quite understand, but since his mother didn’t pick him up, he had no choice but to give in. Reluctantly, he let his father feed him one bite at a time.

On the other side, the Central Emperor lay miserably on the ground, watching the two eat their meal.

“Yuu Rong, Yi Kun, come over and eat too.”

An Jiuyue was eating herself but didn’t forget to call Yuu Rong and Leng Yikun over to join them.

As for the Central Emperor, as long as they were here, he wouldn’t be able to escape. Once they were full and satisfied, they could deal with him properly and also assess who else in the Central Imperial Country could take charge of the situation.

“Alright.”

Yuu Rong responded, then glanced coldly at the Central Emperor, throwing out a casual threat.

“Stay put. If you dare to move, you’ll wish you hadn’t!”

The Central Emperor trembled. The beating he had endured earlier had been no joke. Even though he had taken medicinal pills, his body still ached terribly. He had no desire to take another round of punishment.

“Prince, should we head over?”

Meanwhile, the Ninth Prince’s personal guard whispered quietly.

Seeing that the commotion over there had subsided, heading over now shouldn’t be a problem, right? Although the Emperor wasn’t much of a person, he was still their emperor from the Central Imperial Country, wasn’t he?

At the very least, they needed to get him freed.

“Not appropriate at the moment.”

The Ninth Prince shook his head. They were having their meal—if he went now, what could he do? Stand there watching them eat? It would be awkward for everyone involved, including himself.

Better to wait until they’d finished their meal, then head over afterward. By then, his mother—the Empress Dowager—would likely have arrived as well.

As for the Central Emperor, whether he lived or died wasn’t within his calculations. From the moment he had joined forces with the Emperor of Beikun and schemed against the Yiinn Family, he should have anticipated such an end.

On one side, An Jiuyue and her group were enjoying their meal; on the other side, a nanny rushed into Ci’an Palace.

“Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, something terrible has happened!”

“What’s the matter? Look at you, panicking like this. Didn’t you go to meet Jin’er?” The Empress Dowager put down the teacup in her hand, raised her eyes, and calmly asked the breathless nanny.

“No, it’s not that.”

The nanny shook her head and took quite some time to catch her breath.

“It’s the Emperor—he encountered… he encountered the High Priest Demon Heart and their group in the garden.” She finally managed to say.

“What did you say?!”

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager shot up from the soft couch in shock.

“How could this be? How did they arrive in the Central Imperial Country so soon? Moreover, they’ve already entered the palace? How did they get in, and why wasn’t any news passed along?”

What were the palace guards and imperial guards doing? Strangers had infiltrated the palace, and they hadn’t reacted at all?

“Empress Dowager, now is not the time to ask such questions. The Emperor is still in their hands.”

The nanny was utterly exasperated with the Empress Dowager. In such a dire situation, none of her questions touched on the critical issues.

How they got in wasn’t important anymore—they were already inside. Who could possibly chase them out now?
