Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

Chapter 39 – Blackmail (2)

For a long time, the hall was enveloped with an oppressive aura, making everyone feel as if their hearts were being constricted. Ye Li laughed in a sinister fashion as he walked in front of Mo Linyuan. He looked down at his tiny frame from above, “Is there something for me to see? Well? Hand it over.”

Immediately, one could hear the sound of people in the surroundings swallowing their saliva. The emaciated Mo Linyuan looked so weak and fragile in front of Ye Li, who was tall and large as a bear—as if he would break with a single twist. But he stood unyielding, his expression was placid and even had a bit of sereneness to it.

He quietly placed an item in Ye Li’s hand.

“This is…”

Only quite a few people could see what seemed to be an object made from jade being handed to Ye Li. Since it was small, from their distance they weren’t able to see it clearly.

When Ye Li caught sight of the jade at the young man’s hand, his expression instantly turned extremely unsightly! He turned it over and saw that the words ‘The Eternal Ye Dynasty’ engraved on its back. This made his entire body turn cold and his limbs become stiff!

Because this was a treasure taken from the pit in the abandoned courtyard!

After discovering the treasure, although he did not send his people to guard it in the open, he had his trained experts to secretly watch it. This brat could not have stolen the treasure after he had it secured. Therefore, the only possibility was that he had taken it the night he had found the treasure; this brat sneakily brought it out from below!

And now, he was giving it to him—the hidden meaning was too obvious. This was a concealed threat!

Once this Imperial Jade Seal would wind its way to other people’s hands, his ambitions would be revealed immediately! His grand plan—all his plans would be in vain! The most serious consequence was that none of the members of the Ye Family could escape death!

Thinking of this, Ye Li’s eyes surged with killing intent. He used his internal energy to shatter the jade, and then suddenly lifted Mo Linyuan up, fiercely pushing him against a huge pillar.

“You’re courting death!”

All of the female servants in the hall kneeled down, and all of the guests who came to attend the banquet had solemn expressions as their bodies tensed up.

Mo Linyuan’s pale face gradually turned red as he was being suffocated, but there was no fear in his eyes. He grabbed Ye Li’s hand with one hand and his free hand pointed towards the direction of the Zhao Emperor. This blatant threat made Ye Li even more mad!

His meaning was very clear. Since he was able to take out this Imperial Jade Seal, he might also have taken something else that could kill him. However, Ye Li’s real motive was to usurp the throne of the emperor. Currently, the Zhao Emperor was here—if he saw and hear something he shouldn’t have, then an imminent disaster was to befall on him.

Therefore, although Ye Li wanted to directly strangle Mo Linyuan to death, the veins on his arms only bulged from holding back and the fingers on the little boy’s neck were lackluster.

Being threatened in front of his face, even if he wanted to smother this slave to death, he could only hold back!

At this moment, even if Official Liu couldn’t bear to leave, he also didn’t dare to touch Ye Li’s tiger whiskers. On the other hand, when the Zhao Emperor saw Mo Linyuan point at him, he folded his fan and said with an indecipherable smile, “General, don’t get angry just yet. This emperor sees that this little guy is too serious to be playing. Why isn’t he speaking? What kind of riddle are you two on?”

Hearing the voice of the Zhao Emperor from behind him made Ye Li’s body quiver imperceptibly. He glanced at the Zhao Emperor who could have him killed in the blink of an eye. Straight away, he felt the distinctive feeling of fear and his back became covered in cold sweat.

Indeed, he should have killed this little slave back then! He shouldn’t have been threatened now!

“No… it’s nothing, Your Majesty.”

There was only silence before Ye Li began to laugh dryly. He suddenly let go of Mo Linyuan and said, “These two children…are people close to my daughter. They said that my daughter is in danger at the moment, but I don’t trust their words. So, this general wanted to see if they are speaking the truth or not. And this boy is only a mute.”

“Is that so?” The Zhao Emperor replied in an ambiguous manner, making Ye Li unable to comprehend the meaning behind his words.
