Chapter 128

Over the past few days, the spies Qinghua had left outside the divine palace reported back that Shen Ye had not once stepped out of Qinan Divine Palace. Initially, because Alanruo had vanished, Qinghua had been bent on cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots; she had wanted Alanruo dead. Yet now, with Alanruo temporarily out of reach, Qinghua's anxious heart slowly began to settle. So what if she went into hiding? If she had the ability, let her hide for a lifetime! Otherwise, the moment she showed her face, she would be finished! Having already pinned the murder of the King on Alanruo, Qinghua had ensured that Alanruo was entirely out of the running for the throne. That being the case, Qinghua was no longer in any great rush to hunt her down and eradicate her completely. Qinghua's current plan was to knock all three of Xiangli Que's children out of contention, stripping them of any eligibility to inherit the throne. Only then would the royal clan have no choice but to welcome back Junuo, who had been stripped of her title and reduced to a commoner. For by that time, Junuo would be the only one remaining with any qualification to ascend the throne!
