Chapter 2696: Chapter 2696: Get Us a Boat

"Let’s go see the children first."

When Nuonuo teaches the treehouse and Zhou’er to cultivate, they can guide them from the side.

But now, without them around, three blabbermouths teaching Lu’er, she’s really afraid they’ll teach Lu’er to go berserk.

The Emperor watched them leave and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But thinking about the identities of these two, they didn’t need a welcome reception, so he said nothing.

As for the Retired Emperor’s affairs, he also felt they should quickly be handled. It’s been delayed for so long. If it drags on further, it would really make him seem like an incompetent Emperor.

"Eunuch Fu, summon General Zhou to the palace," he instructed the newly entered Eunuch Fu.

"Yes, Your Majesty. This servant obeys the order," Eunuch Fu paused his step after entering and then retreated.

...

In the Supreme Palace.

The Retired Emperor had indeed vomited several mouthfuls of blood, and he couldn’t get out of bed, his face pale like a piece of paper.

But the blood he vomited wasn’t out of anger; it was from being hit by a Paper Person. Because he didn’t believe An Jiuyue’s warnings, after An Jiuyue left, he tried to secretly write notes.

He planned to place them in a usual spot where he contacts his people, when the eunuchs and palace maids in the Supreme Palace were inattentive, so his people could rescue him.

Who would have thought, after writing just a few words, with the two young eunuchs noticing nothing, as he secretly felt proud, a gust of wind struck him.

And then, he was hit with One Palm Strike on his chest, directly spitting out old blood.

And the paper he’d secretly written half of ended up in the Paper Person’s hands. The Paper Person squeezed the note a few times with its hands, and the note turned into a pile of powder.

Finally, he could only lie in bed, gasping and spitting up blood, while hearing the young eunuchs urgently summon the Imperial Physician Xuan.

Only then did he understand that An Jiuyue was serious; these two Paper Persons didn’t care if he was the Retired Emperor and would truly do such harm to him.

This time, it was just internal injuries and blood vomiting. Next time, who knows if he’ll be as lucky.

He gritted his teeth, cursing An Jiuyue in his heart countless times.

Since this woman appeared, everything he did went wrong; she’s born to be his bane.

Yet, he couldn’t do anything about An Jiuyue. She was the High Priest Demon Heart of Wulong Mountain, a person who could crush him with a single finger.

No matter how unwilling, he had to be content and couldn’t continue any further actions.

Otherwise, his life might genuinely be at risk.

...

In the harem, by the Lotus Pond.

Looking at the pool filled with lotus flowers, the four children weren’t interested in cultivation; they all wanted to pluck lotus leaves, especially Nuonuo, who’s small and excited, wanting his brothers to make lotus leaf clothes for him.

"Brother Lu, ask the eunuchs to get us a boat, so we can go over."

"Um..."

An Yilu hesitated, not because he was unwilling, but because he thought the four of them being children, without an adult accompanying them, going to the pond to pluck lotus leaves might not be safe.

"Nuonuo, let’s wait for Dad and Mom to come over, and then we can go pick the lotus leaves, okay?" he suggested.

Anyway, he would never allow his brothers to paddle a boat to pick lotus leaves alone. If anything happens, with him being the only one who can swim, which brother would he save first?

"No, no, Dad and Mom are busy. We can go pick them ourselves." As soon as Qian Yinuo heard they had to wait for Dad and Mom, he immediately disagreed.
