"Xixi!"
Upon hearing these words, Old Master Luo's heart was instantly shocked.
What did Yan Xi mean by that?
Was she going to send them away?
No, that's not right!
To be precise, she wanted to send him away!
Old Master Luo's nerves were thick and he often missed subtle hints.
But this time, he suddenly became clear-headed and understood Empress Dowager Yan Xi's intention at once.
"You want to send me away, and never see me again! Is that it?!"
Empress Dowager Yan Xi didn't reply to him and only said, "I am Empress Dowager Yan Xi of Great Chu. It's impossible between us."
She couldn't possibly abandon Great Chu to leave with him.
After so many years of longing, how could Empress Dowager Yan Xi not understand that Old Master Luo had been anxiously and sullenly orbiting around her, his frustration and melancholy coupled with his hesitation to speak clearly?
But it was precisely because she knew that she couldn't agree.
And she definitely couldn't leave with him!
The Great Chu Holy Emperor had been kind to her!
She had sworn to protect the Great Chu Sacred Dynasty for him until his bloodline grows strong enough to ascend the throne!
She would not leave the Great Chu Sacred Dynasty.
"Impossible my foot!"
Old Master Luo exploded in anger.
The words he had been afraid to say just moments ago, now spilled out in his fury.
"You are my woman! We have just slept together! Your name is still inscribed in the Luo Family Ancestor Temple! If you leave, you must leave with me!"
"Impossible!"
Empress Dowager Yan Xi shook off his hand and, with a resolute expression, said, "Back then, when I was gravely injured and fell off the cliff, it was the Great Chu Holy Emperor who saved me!"
"These years, it was he who took in a disheartened me, providing shelter in the Great Chu Imperial Palace! He provided resources for me to increase my strength!"
"If it weren't for him, I would have died long ago!"
"Luo Tong, you wouldn't even have the chance to see me again today!"
"So there's no need for further words! I will not leave with you!"
"The Great Chu Sacred Dynasty is now my second home, and it will also be my battlefield where I will confront all challenges!"
"No matter what happens, I will not leave here!"
Empress Dowager Yan Xi said this and promptly left with a flick of her sleeve.
"You all can leave! From now on, pretend we never met!"
She said through clenched teeth.
She should never have let her emotions take control.
She still had the entire Great Chu Sacred Dynasty to shoulder, she couldn't act willfully.
"Xixi!"
Old Master Luo was so anxious that he almost rushed out, but Luo Qingtong held him back firmly.
"Grandfather, let's go first."
"No way!"
Old Master Luo firmly disagreed.
"Qingtong, you don't know your grandmother's character. Since she has said such things, once we leave this place, she will truly…" act as if she has never seen us!
She will completely forget about us!
The rest of his words, Old Master Luo couldn't continue.
He thought that after clearing up the misunderstanding, he and Yan Xi could return to the past, but he didn't expect another problem to arise now!
All because of that damn Prince Ning!
As Old Master Luo thought this, he tried to rush out again but was stopped by Luo Qingtong's next words.
"Since you know that is Grandmother's character, it's useless to chase after her!"
"Besides…" Luo Qingtong looked at him with twinkling eyes: "Grandfather, the medicine pill I gave you has a time limit."
"After today, you'll revert to your old decrepit appearance! Do you really want Grandmother to see you in that state again, instead of this handsome and dignified look you have now?"
