Chapter 80: The Empress Retired

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The queen’s expression darkened as she looked at Li Ling with a fierce expression.

At a time like this, Li Ling was actually still fooling around!

The queen glared at Li Ling, then looked at the protocol officer.

The protocol officer immediately accepted the order and announced to everyone, “The princess isn’t feeling well. She will withdraw from the competition today! Everyone else, please participate as usual!”

As soon as the protocol officer finished speaking, there was a discussion in the crowd.

“We came here today to see the princess’s little phoenix. Why is she withdrawing from the competition?” Someone looked in the direction Wen Qiong had left in and asked curiously.

“That’s right! If the princess withdraws from the competition, will Miss Li directly advance again?” Someone already realized that Li Ling was probably going to benefit greatly this time!

“Maybe Miss Li can directly enter the finals and even win the championship!”

When everyone looked at Li Ling, they saw that her eyes were filled with disappointment and even hatred.

Everyone was puzzled. Could it be that Miss Li wasn’t satisfied with directly advancing?

“Hey, haven’t you heard? The Li family was very lively yesterday. Is it because the princess withdrew from the competition?” Someone whispered and glanced in the direction of the Li family’s seats.

“Really? What happened?” Someone immediately asked curiously.

“I heard that something happened to the Second Elder of the Li family!” That person continued to talk about the news he had obtained.

“I heard it was with the demon—” The man immediately stopped when he realized he’d said something he shouldn’t have. He covered his mouth with his hand.

However, with just a few words, the person beside him quickly understood what he meant.

“Are they coming back?” Someone became afraid, and his voice trembled.

“No way! Is the empire going to suffer another round of bloodshed?” Some people had already foreseen the terrifying scene that might happen in the future.

“Gee! It happened hundreds of years ago. Weren’t those things sealed long ago?”

“In my opinion, as long as the queen is around, we don’t have to be afraid of those things!” But some people believed in the queen’s ability.

“The queen has been the best monarch in our empire in a hundred years! You must believe in the queen!” the man said firmly.

“I think the princess’ withdrawal from the competition definitely has nothing to do with those things. Maybe the princess is really feeling unwell!” Someone immediately looked for other possibilities.

“What’s wrong with the princess? I’m really worried about her health!”

Everyone began to discuss the princess’s health again.

When Kong Rui heard these people’s discussion, she suddenly realized that the queen had probably heard about the Li family’s incident yesterday, so she wanted Wen Qiong to go back as soon as possible.

If what happened to the Second Elder of the Li family was true, the person who did it might be hiding among them.

If that was the case, was he targeting the Li family or someone else?

Judging from the queen’s protectiveness of Wen Qiong, she definitely didn’t want Wen Qiong to be exposed to such danger. After thinking this through, Kong Rui was even a little touched by the queen’s great “maternal love”!

However, her maternal love was too singular. It could only accommodate one person…

As the queen of the country, she couldn’t bring herself to be magnanimous. She was just using the trust of these people to gain power!

Kong Rui raised her eyebrows slightly as she sighed helplessly. It seemed that she could only find another opportunity to save the little phoenix!

Since she had directly advanced, Kong Rui had no interest in the following competition. She was about to leave when she was suddenly blocked by someone.

Kong Rui froze for a moment as she looked at Nie Yin, who was standing in front of her. “What are you doing?”

“Where are you going?” Nie Yin stared at Li Ling, as if trying to read her expression.

Kong Rui wasn’t in the mood to deal with Nie Yin, so she said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back and rest first!”

Nie Yin narrowed his eyes and said after a while, “Leave after watching my competition!”

Kong Rui frowned and felt that Nie Yin’s request was a little strange.

Lei Peng had just comforted Fu Jiao when he heard Nie Yin’s words. He said to Li Ling, “Young Master Nie hopes that you can see his true strength!”

Hearing Lei Peng’s words, Kong Rui raised her eyebrows slightly and suddenly felt that Nie Yin was really a little strange.

Why did he want her to watch his competition? Could it really be as Lei Peng had said, to prove his strength in front of her?

Why?

Was this a challenge?
