942 Empress Dowager 1 (1/2)

If Jun Xie was truly going to do that, then all that the Emperor had previously done in scheme was deemed for nought.

Even when Jun Xie knew the secret behind the Ring of Imperial Fire, he still held nothing but disdain for the throne of the Fire Country. The Emperor turned to look fearfully at Jun Xie and he could not help but think. [If he had not harboured thoughts of eradicating Jun Xie right from the start, if he had treated Jun Xie exactly like how he had treated all the other youths, would that mean that none of this would have happened?]

Alas, there was no medicine or cure for regrets under these heavens!

The Emperor sat trembling in his throne, and he suddenly felt cold and his body chilled. The chill ran through his entire body which suddenly made his own ring on his finger feel icy cold.

”I am the Empress Dowager's grandson….. She will not….. She will not help you…..” Till the last moment, the Emperor was still struggling against the fact.

”Oh? Is that so?” Jun Wu Xie's lips curled up at the corners in a cold smile.

From the back of the main hall, three figures suddenly appeared.

The Grand Adviser was with the real Qu Ling Yue, and an old lady with a full head of white hair walked slowly into the main hall.

”Empress Dowager!” Lei Xi who had been been standing dazed within the main hall suddenly gasped in surprise when he saw the Empress Dowager.

The Emperor screamed out immediately: ”Grandmother! Save your grandson! This conniving thief wants to take your grandson's life!”

The Fire Country's Empress Dowager was already coming close to a hundred years old and the long years had left indelible traces of its passing on her countenance, but the poised and unperturbed demeanor she carried herself with however stood out the most.
