Chapter 823
At that moment, she had only caught those few words; the old coot seemed to have said something else, but she hadn’t heard it clearly.
In no time, a slew of imperial military and political bigwigs rushed over, only to discover that all the heirs to the throne were dead, except for her. That’s when Geshu Tang stepped forward. She thought he would seek revenge for his brother; who knew Geshu Tang would turn out to be so spineless, actually shouting, “This girl should be Empress!”
Ye Xingguang: “!!!”
Even now, Ye Xingguang still believed that Geshu Tang was biding his time for revenge, a gentleman’s vengeance ten years in the making. Look, now he had her tightly in his grip, and on top of that, he was forcing her to break up with the big cancer, so now she had to hustle for her own lifelong affair!
“What are you thinking about, over here?” Li Yu raised his hand, tapped her on the head, then grabbed her hand and led her to meet the old king.
Before leaving, he tossed a sentence to his entourage, “Arrange for their accommodations.”
This arrangement referred to Ye Xingguang’s entourage, including Gui Baili and Deputy Han…
On the cobblestone path, only Li Yu and Ye Xingguang were left. They passed through the garden, walked by the lakeside, and Ye Xingguang instantly saw a pavilion in the middle of the lake at the end of a winding corridor. Inside the pavilion, there was an old man with white hair fishing!
From her angle, she could see the back of the white-haired old man, identical to the one in her memory.
Yes, it was him!
Beside the white-haired old man, there was a young woman speaking to him.
Ye Xingguang had good hearing, and as she walked along the winding corridor, she overheard the young woman saying, “Haven’t you always valued him? Now that he is willing to be your successor, what more could you ask for?”
The white-haired old man snorted, “Humph! When I begged him to take the role, he ignored me. Now that I’ve chosen a second successor, he comes crawling back? Forget it, a good horse doesn’t turn back for grass! Yesterday, he brushed me off, but today, he’s not worthy of me!”
Eh, what was that supposed to mean? Was it possible that the successor the old coot had once chosen was now begging to be reconsidered?
Please don’t agree to it!
That was what Ye Xingguang thought to herself.
“Brother Yu, that white-haired old man is the vampire king, isn’t he? What’s his name? What are his likes? How can I win him over? Quick, quick, quick, give me on-the-spot coaching!” Ye Xingguang muttered under her breath.
Li Yu yawned lazily, looked down at her, and said, “Sis, do you really need to win him over? If he didn’t fancy you, would he let his successor marry you?”
“You have a point there! So, how should I address him? Should I call him ‘old gentleman’?”
“Chen Fengdu.”noveldrama
“Hm?”
“His name.”
“Oh oh oh.”
So the vampire king was named Chen Fengdu. All these years, this was the first time she had learned the name of the vampire king.
Li Yu instructed her in a low voice, “Now, run over there and tell him that you don’t want to marry me at all, that you want to marry your family’s big tumor. If he dares to separate you and your big tumor, threaten to throw yourself into the river and commit suicide.”
Ye Xingguang: “…”
Ye Xingguang: “Brother Yu, I’m a mermaid, is threatening to drown myself really threatening?”
Li Yu coached her again, “That’s true. Then it’s ‘cry, make a scene, hang oneself.’ If he does not agree to make your big tumor his successor, just give him a hard time. Then I’ll chime in from the side, saying that I don’t want to be the successor and that we have no chemistry.”
