Chapter 2681: Chapter 2681: Completely Dumbfounded

He was locked up in the Supreme Palace all day, what else could he know? Even if there was something happening outside, he couldn’t hear it, and all of this, wasn’t it brought upon him by this unfilial child before him?

Now he thinks to come here and pry for information?

Even if he really knew something, would he tell this unfilial child? Just wait, for the day he regains full power, he wants to see how this unfilial child can still provoke him.

“What exactly do you want to say? Could it be you’ve forgotten that the matters outside have long been isolated from you!” he said through gritted teeth.

“Indeed, if Father hadn’t reminded me, I might have truly forgotten.”

The Emperor found a chair to sit down on the side, watching the Retired Emperor with much interest.

“However, Father, since this place has been isolated now, you might as well stay here peacefully and not think of reconnecting with the outside world. After all, Prince Zhan and Prince An Yang have already returned.”

“What?”

Upon hearing this, the Retired Emperor was completely dumbfounded.

Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue have returned? When did this happen? Weren’t they always at Huayan Peak or Wulong Mountain, why have they returned?

He was just wondering, how could the affairs in the Northern Lands have been discovered so quickly?

Even though this unfilial child was formidable, it was unlikely for him to uncover matters in the Northern Lands. After all, the Northern Lands were barren; nothing could be accomplished there. He had put in a lot of effort to build those private soldiers.

Unexpectedly, they were destroyed by the two of them, Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue?

Why did they choose to return now? Even if they came back a year or two later, allowing him to gain some profits from the drought in the Northern Lands, his plan could have succeeded.

“How is it possible they have returned, do you think by saying this, I will believe you?”

He thought, certainly, this unfilial child was trying to deceive him. If Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue had returned, that would indeed be a surprise; after all, he had heard that even the people on Huayan Peak had no news of them.

Suddenly they have returned? Who would believe such a tale?

Surely this unfilial child couldn’t pry anything out of his mouth, so he deliberately mentioned Qian Jiyun and his wife to make a case?

“Do you think by bringing them up, I will… you wish! I know nothing, and you expect to extract information from me?”

“Hmph.”

The Emperor snorted lightly, rolling his eyes.

In these times, no one believes the truth. What must he do?

“Forget it, there’s nothing worth saying. Some matters are best left to Jiyun and Jiuyue to personally tell you when they arrive; it won’t be long now.”

He thought, once Gong Jian arrives in Ying City, Jiyun and An Jiuyue will hand over everything to him and should be able to return soon.

“Father, do you think the two children born to Dowager Consort Yu in Ying City should be brought back for you to see by Prince Zhan and Prince An Yang?”

“You—”

The Retired Emperor felt a surge of anger stuck in his throat, neither up nor down, feeling dizzy in his head.

He deeply regretted it; why hadn’t he chosen those loyal concubines to go to Ying City back then, but chose the promiscuous Dowager Consort Yu?

She went to Ying City and accomplished nothing significant for him, instead engaging in affairs there, causing him to be ridiculed by this unfilial child.

“Get out, get out!”

He grabbed something at hand and hurled it towards the Emperor.

This unfilial child deliberately brought up this matter to upset him, didn’t he?
