Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1249: You Forced Me

Qiu Tang remained silent for a moment before speaking slowly, "Very well, I shall be frank. They are helping me because of the antidote to the Cold Sui Pill."

"Cold Sui Pill?" Qin Yi frowned. He knew about the Cold Sui Pill. It's an elixir used to control people, with extremely rare ingredients for alchemy. Once ingested, it feels like falling into an ice cave when it acts, with coldness seeping through the bones. Without timely treatment, the bones and meridians will freeze and shatter, leading to death.

Qiu Tang said, "All one hundred Golden Armor Warriors have ingested the Cold Sui Pill, and only Yun Changqing has the antidote. However, I have found the antidote, which can completely eradicate the poison of the Cold Sui Pill in them. With the added benefit from my father, they are willing to help me."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "What about the Black Armor Warriors?"

"Yun Zheng, the leader of the Black Armor Warriors, grew up with me since childhood."

Qin Yi was taken aback.

Afterward, Qin Yi slightly raised the corners of his mouth, "You have taken advantage of time, place, and people, combined with unparalleled wisdom, your success is inevitable."

Qiu Tang smiled, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome! But you shouldn't have schemed against me."

Qiu Tang sighed, "Scheming against you was not my wish."

Qin Yi smiled without agreeing or disagreeing.

Qiu Tang spoke lightly, "I got married to Yun Changqing when I was thirteen; in the vast Royal Family, I only had him, but he did not belong to me. Once the passion faded, there was only endless indifference. The Royal Family is the largest power structure in the Yunyue Empire, but it's also the coldest place, lacking even a trace of human kindness."

Qiu Tang paused and continued, "Living in this deceitful Royal Family, I walked the edge of death several times. In the vast harem, in the struggle for favor, everything that could be done was done. Actually, I had two children before, but they are no more. Susu is my only relative in this world, and I will never allow her to walk my old path again. I want to give her the peak of power, a position where she can control her own life."

"You should follow her wishes, rather than making decisions on your own. What you give may not be what she wants."

Qiu Tang's face showed deep disdain, "Qin Yi, I don't want to discuss who's right and wrong with you because you have your thoughts, and I have mine. Susu is pure-hearted, utterly unsuitable for life in the Royal Family. With her character, if I don't fight for her, she would be swallowed without leaving even a scrap.

As Empress, but to Yun Changqing, I can be discarded like a worn shoe when unhappy and thrown into the cold palace. I can tolerate these, but I will never allow him to use Susu to balance the forces between the princes and princesses."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "You're right. Right or wrong is no longer important. In fact, Yun Qinglian has already agreed with me, once we return, she will leave the Imperial City and flee far away."

"That's what she promised you. She's the Eldest Princess of the Yunyue Empire, with royal blood flowing in her veins. No matter when, if she raises her arm and calls out, there will be massive support, causing endless trouble for the Yunyue Empire. As long as she lives, Susu's throne will not be secure."

Qin Yi said indifferently, "That's because you don't understand her."

Qiu Tang replied similarly coolly, "Perhaps. But I must eliminate the danger in its cradle. What Susu won't do, I will. All the bad things, the evil things, I will do them."

Qin Yi was silent for a moment, "Is Yun Mengyao well?"

"Not well!"

Qin Yi looked at her indifferently.

Qiu Tang said, "Whether she's well entirely depends on you. Qin Yi, if you hand over Yun Qinglian, and are willing to abolish your cultivation and stay in the Yunyue Empire to assist Susu, I can ensure not a single hair on Yun Mengyao will be harmed. Otherwise..."

"This is the second time you've used a friend to threaten me. If you speak it out loud, there's no doubt you will die."

Qiu Tang's voice abruptly stopped, staring blankly at Qin Yi, "Looks like you refused."

"Go back!" Qin Yi stood with one hand behind his back, looking at her indifferently.

Qiu Tang's mouth twitched furiously, her eyes turned sharp, "Qin Yi, I hope you won't regret it."

Qin Yi remained silent, not agreeing nor disagreeing.

Qiu Tang turned and left.

"Mother, what did Qin Yi say?" Yun Susu asked anxiously.

Qiu Tang gave a bitter smile.

Yun Susu's eyes dimmed; she should have foreseen this. Given Qin Yi's character, how could he easily compromise?

She walked to the edge of the city wall, looking at Qin Yi below, "You better leave! I will personally bring Yaoyao out to give to you."

Qin Yi gave a faint smile and then raised his hand, releasing a terrifying palm wind.

"Boom!"

The towering Star Road gate exploded directly, fragments flying everywhere.

Behind the gate, dozens of soldiers vomited blood and perished. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Qiu Tang said in a deep voice, "Susu, stop struggling. It's useless, if he were so easy to compromise, he wouldn't be Qin Yi."

Yun Susu was full of worry; they were once friends, how did it come to this?

Qiu Tang looked at the Golden Armor Warriors beside her, "Take action."

"Yes!"

The Golden Armor Warriors retreated at the order.

The carriage creaked as it rolled into the Imperial City.

The civilians on the street had been dispersed, and the wide road was filled only with waves of soldiers, each nervously watching Qin Yi.

They had long heard, Qin Yi fought his way back, and millions of soldiers hadn't been able to stop him.

Qin Yi's eyes were bright, Purple Light surged in his palm, spreading outward.

A massive purple blade over ten meters long hovered in mid-air.

God Slaying Blade!

Qin Yi's hand slowly dropped, the enormous blade shadow descended with terrifying destructive power.

"Boom!"

The ground shattered, huge stones flew apart.

The broad street was completely destroyed by that single blade, a ditch tens of meters long appeared on the ground, hundreds of soldiers turned into blood mist, buildings on both sides collapsed instantly, the smoke and dust rolled like waves, covering the sky and sun.

"Creak, creak..."

The carriage swayed as it moved forward slowly.

The soldiers who were lucky not to die were terrified out of their minds, retreating continuously.

They continued all the way to the front of the vast Royal Family.

Along the way, buildings collapsed, corpses piled like mountains, rivers of blood flowed.

The sky above the Imperial City was filled with a dense blood mist, lingering for a long time, as if even the heavens were weeping.

The carriage stopped at the square in front of the Royal Family.

The light in the sky dimmed, blocked by something.

Qin Yi slowly raised his eyes, looking at a thousand Black Armor Warriors, and a hundred Golden Armor Warriors, standing proudly in the air.

Yun Zheng looked at the lone proud figure standing below with complicated eyes and spoke, "Qin Yi, go back! It's still not too late to turn back now."

Qin Yi looked at him indifferently, showing a smile devoid of any warmth, and said calmly, "My friend is inside."

"Qin Yi, you fought your way here, slaughtering millions of soldiers, isn't it enough? Do you have to make the Royal Family bleed as well?"

Qin Yi replied softly, "We could have been friends, but you forced me."

"Qin Yi, with us here, don't even think about setting foot within this Royal Family." The man in Golden Armor, with a sinister look in his eyes, shouted at Qin Yi. He was Yun Fu, the leader of the Golden Armor Warriors, and the direct disciple of Qiu Tang's father.

At this level, people are usually granted the imperial surname by the Emperor.

To these people, bearing the Yun surname is an honor, but Qin Yi looked down on them because they could even abandon their own surname; they were not worthy to be called Qi Refiners.
