Chapter 2234: Chapter 2234: Could it be a Fake Mother?
They were eating here, while the New Sovereign Emperor was standing over there. No matter how they looked at it, it felt way too awkward, and it made her appetite drop by three degrees.
Clearly, her husband’s cooking was so good, and the dishes were so delicious, but having a living, breathing person standing there watching them eat really affected their appetite!
Upon hearing this, Yuu Rong fell silent.
No wonder he felt something was off earlier—it turned out to be this.
“Exactly, he doesn’t need to hover around us. Why not just go do his own thing?” He nodded, thinking the New Sovereign Emperor should be busying himself elsewhere.
“This Portrait is still useful.”
Leng Yikun spoke up. He didn’t believe the Former Sovereign Emperor’s portrait would be useless.
After locking down the target and removing the Disguise Technique, they’d still need the Portrait to identify the person. If not, would they have to bring everyone back to the palace and ask the New Sovereign Emperor to recognize them one by one?
He felt that would be quite the hassle. It’d be more straightforward to deal with the target on sight—eliminate them directly.
“High Priest, Master Qian, I have a gut feeling that if we don’t kill this Former Sovereign Emperor the moment we find him, he might just have the ability to slip right under our noses.”
He voiced the vague sense of unease in his heart. This Former Sovereign Emperor was indeed quite clever.
“You’re not the only one with that gut feeling.”
An Jiuyue’s lips curved slightly as she spoke.
If the Former Sovereign Emperor didn’t have some kind of Protective Charm, would he have dared to relinquish the throne so directly?
“Earlier, I overheard them mentioning the Dark Token. This thing should ideally be in the hands of the Former Sovereign Emperor.”
If they could ensure it was in the Former Sovereign Emperor’s possession, they could seize it directly and hand it over to whoever needed it. But if it wasn’t with him, it might be in the hands of his most trusted ally.
If that were the case, merely killing the Former Sovereign Emperor wouldn’t prevent an internal war within the Jun Empire.
“This Dark Token—what exactly is it?” Yuu Rong asked.
He was genuinely curious about the Dark Token. From the way the New Sovereign Emperor and the ministers had been talking earlier, it seemed like this Dark Token was some kind of omnipotent object for their nation.
Even the person sitting on the throne could be toppled with it?
“Catch the person and you’ll find out. Eat more.”
As Qian Jiyun spoke, he picked up some food and placed it into An Jiuyue’s bowl, which immediately drew the displeasure of the little baby.
“Food, Nuonuo’s food!”
Wasn’t his dear dad supposed to be giving him food? So why did the food on the chopsticks end up in his mom’s bowl instead? This was so unfair.
Mom’s already a grown-up—she can pick food on her own. Unlike him, who’s so little, with hands too small to hold chopsticks properly. He can’t even eat on his own. It has to be dad and mom feeding him!
“Mom, the food is Nuonuo’s!”
An Jiuyue was holding her chopsticks and was about to eat the food when she heard her son’s words. She froze.
Lowering her eyes, she looked at the food near her mouth, then turned to glance at her little baby. With a flick of her chopsticks, she extended the food toward him.
The little baby saw his mom offering him food and happily opened his mouth wide. “Ah.”
But after keeping his mouth open for quite a while, he realized no food landed inside. He looked up at his mom again, only to see her hand with the chopsticks swirling the food in front of his face before deftly placing it into her own mouth.
Little Nuonuo: “…”
This—is this a fake mom?
But as her son, he didn’t dare say this out loud—they might gang up on him for a double beatdown.
