Chapter 581.2: Forcing, Rebellion

Forcing, Rebellion (2)

As such, just having her protected under his wing wasn’t enough. That way, no matter how much she does, others all won’t see it as her accomplishment. That’s why, although he couldn’t bear, he still needed to push her. In the past, it’s not that he’s never pushed, just it was all very gentle, and afterwards, it was usually just left unsettled, the effect very limited.

Now that there was the opportunity, and also someone by her side, naturally need to nicely make use of the situation.

“Wan Wan, I won’t force you, it’s fine. There’s me for all things.” Li Hong Yuan softly said.

But, Jing Wan who had her eyes closed didn’t see Li Hong Yuan’s extremely indifferent expression, even carrying a bit of chilliness. He knew that he was her weakness, and as long as it was related to him, other people and matters all need to move aside. Have to say, Li Hong Yuan, towards Jing Wan, from the start, was just full of schemes and endless calculations.

Sure enough, a moment later, Li Hong Yuan obtained the answer he wanted.

“Take down, and beat to death.”

Li Hong Yuan smiled. Even if the others had the intention to plea for Qing Ju, seeing Li Hong Yuan’s expression, they also didn’t dare to open their mouth. Regardless of what his attitude was like towards Jing Wan, in their eyes, he was still the most terrifying existence. One glance, one look, can just make one tremble in fear.

“Many thanks wangfei, this servant will hereon bid farewell.” Qing Ju loudly kowtowed three times towards Jing Wan. There wasn’t resentment in her eyes. Instead, it was more tranquil than any other time. She was someone carrying guilt. If able to, in the final moments, use her life to establish wangfei’s authority, then it can be considered slightly atoning for her sins a little.

Jing Wan didn’t open her eyes, not looking at Qing Ju one last time.

Li Hong Yuan lightly stroked Jing Wan’s back again and again, pacifying her emotions.

Jing Wan’s mood afterwards naturally wasn’t high, her spirit a bit wilted.

Jing Wan temporarily didn’t realize, but Gong mama and them nevertheless noticed that something was different. Wangye had wangfei loved to the bones, hating that he can’t do everything for her, so to suddenly push her like this, there certainly must be a purpose. And this purpose, after Jing Wan went to sleep in the afternoon, when Li Hong Yuan was looking at the world map, they roughly guessed.

On the inside, they didn’t dare to believe, but thinking it over, it seemingly really was something their master would do.

———As soon as he ascends the throne, he will personally take to the battlefield as the emperor, letting the empress govern the country.

This matter, when it happens, don’t know what kind of reaction the court officials will have.historical

Encountering such a ruler, the officials will probably always be bordering between feeling gratified and having a headache.

The banquet in the palace still continued on. Generally, it will all need to last half the afternoon. With the wine goblets intertwining, regardless whether it was knowing or not knowing, the emotions on everyone’s face all may not necessarily be real. At the palace banquet, these people were forever the best actors, and the ones whose acting skills were lacking, for the most part, belonged to the invisible type, obediently sitting there eating their own things.

TN: All

Luo Pei Shan although was on sick leave, but everyone all knew that this was just an excuse. That’s why, when he and Luo Old Madam still separately brought their son and daughter-in-law into the palace today to pay respect for the new year, no one felt there was anything wrong. Just, aside from the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, the others all weren’t brought along.

However, even during this New Year’s celebration, there were still people that won’t settled down, having Li Hong Yuan brought up whenever possible, provoking Le Cheng Emperor’s wounded old heart that.

Le Cheng Emperor had given Li Su Yan a secret decree, yet still haven’t received news, just knowing that that bastard son was getting closer and closer to the capital, and his decree on the surface also wasn’t obeyed, traveling at a neither quick nor slow pace, making Le Cheng Emperor reside on the brink of going berserk at all times. And certain people that were targeting Li Hong Yuan just thought that their plans in obstructing him had succeeded. According to the information, for Li Hong Yuan to return, still need at least three to four days. This time was more than enough. When time comes, they will lay out an inescapable net. They refuse to believe that he’ll still be able to survive.

Le Cheng Emperor repeatedly got stabbed with the dull knife, having a hard time dispelling the gloomy anger, drinking quite a bit of wine. This time, didn’t he precisely just get drunk, going to Qian Chen Hall’s side hall to rest. Because there were people harboring ulterior motives, they naturally just followed over to serve, and there wasn’t just one like this. After bickering a few words, even more people just joined in. Afterwards, the imperial concubines also weren’t willing to be outdone. Even if their own child was still small, they still all pulled along, wanting to promote their existence in front of Le Cheng Emperor.

Thus, under intentional or otherwise guidance, the entire imperial family all gathered in one place, while the court officials were in another place.

Everyone all wanted to squeeze before Le Cheng Emperor, but Le Cheng Emperor just felt his ears buzzing loudly, making his head increasingly want to split open, “All shut up for this emperor.”

In the side hall, everyone immediately quieted down, looking to Le Cheng Emperor, seemingly somewhat apprehensive.

“Your Majesty, don’t be angered, we all are just worried about your Majesty’s esteemed body.” Noble Consort Su who was sitting to the side softly said.

However, Le Cheng Emperor right now won’t be consoled by words like this, his gaze ice-cold, full of vicious currents and gloominess, “Worried about this emperor’s esteemed body? You all probably can’t wait for this emperor to quickly drop dead!”

“How can your Majesty say this, you are the ruler, the father, the husband, so that is just our sky, our everything.” Noble Consort Su’s tone didn’t change, but if carefully examining, these words really weren’t that sincere. Moreover, she was entirely sitting upright, completely not having the intention of approaching Le Cheng Emperor. Was this how a consort consoling the emperor should look like?

However, regardless whether these words were true or false, it still more or less gave Le Cheng Emperor a bit of comfort. In his eyes, Noble Consort Su’s words can’t be more correct. He was precisely their everything. Whether it’s giving or taking, that was all based on a word from him.

“Alright, all of you go out. Without this emperor’s permission, all not allowed to enter.” Le Cheng Emperor impatiently waved his hand.

Quite a few people hesitated, but still started moving outwards. However, there were also those that were still steadily sitting there like a firm mountain.

“In this prince’s view, it’s best to not leave.” Kang Qinwang suddenly opened his mouth.

Le Cheng Emperor’s sharp gaze shot over, “Bastard thing, you dare to disobey this emperor?”

“Look at what imperial father is saying. However, in the past, when this son obediently listened, you similarly scold and order around, not giving a good face. This son is already this old, still need to have some dignity and face. That’s why, those in the past, this son has truly had enough of. Today, since imperial father said it’s disobedience, then will just disobey for once. Someone come—-”

Following Kang Qinwang’s call, a bunch of imperial guards came pouring into the hall, having everyone surrounded. Every entrance all got tightly blocked, and the blades in hand brightly pointed at them.

If this still can’t make them realize what happened, then really just an idiot.

And in the wake of a few palace servants getting killed, the screams also rose along with, each and every one hugging their heads scurrying about.

Kang Qinwang snatched over a blade, striking towards his nearest two brothers that were relatively young, “If you don’t want to die, then all shut up for this prince.” Kang Qinwang who still somewhat had the upright air of a nobleman earlier, this while, exposed his true colors. Holding the bloody blade in hand, he had an excited look, shaking in excitement from his soon to come true wish.

In an instant, two more people died, yet they didn’t dare to make another sound.

Le Cheng Emperor shook all over in anger, pointing at Kang Qinwang, “You, you, you unfilial son, to actually dare try to rebel and seize the throne? How dare you!”

Kang Qinwang walked closer while holding the blade, carrying a twisted smile, “Look at what imperial father is saying, this son is already doing it, so what’s there to not dare?” As he said this, he lifted the blade, closing in on Le Cheng Emperor little by little, “Actually, coming to this step, this son also didn’t want to, but this was all forced by imperial father. This son is the eldest di son, so should ought to be the legitimate heir apparent, but how did you treat this son? You support up the other brothers, encouraging the other brothers to belittle this son. Whatever others do, it’s always right, and whatever this son does, it’s always wrong. Especially Li Hong Yuan, clearly a unfilial and disgraceful bastard thing, yet you still have him cupped in your palm. However, reality proved that he is actually the most treacherous one. No matter how much you pamper him, he still didn’t have you taken seriously. However, don’t worry imperial father, this son definitely will help you with your troubles, and nicely punish him.”

Le Cheng Emperor shook even more violently. On one side, it’s because of anger, and on the other side, it’s because of fear. His body subconsciously backed away, “Someone come, someone come, have this bastard taken down for this emperor, Yu Zhong Qing......”

Kang Qinwang mockingly laughed, “Imperial father, you sure enough have gone senile. Nicely look around, these people are all the imperial guards. The imperial guards, do you understand? What it means, you should be more clear than anyone.” In the past, when facing Le Cheng Emperor, Kang Qinwang always carried reverence and would, because of his one line, just get stirred up. Looking at it now, he was also nothing much. Sure enough, this feeling of controlling other people’s life and death truly was satisfying, too satisfying.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible! Yu Zhong Qing, where is he? Where is he? Get in here, immediately get in here to see this emperor!”

And sure enough, outside the door, someone walked in, his posture very upright, holding the handle of the blade in hand, his back against the light, giving off an indomitable air

Usually, when facing Le Cheng Emperor, Yu Zhong Qing would always have his head and eyes lowered, yet now, he was looking directly at the other party, not yielding in the slightest, his gaze also very tranquil, “Your Majesty.”

Le Cheng Emperor suddenly discovered, Yu Zhong Qing’s betrayal actually made him even more furious than his son’s rebellion. “Yu Zhong Qing, this emperor treats you quite generously, placing a heavy responsibility on you, yet this is how you repay this emperor? You actually dare to betray this emperor!”

“Imperial father, why say it like this, this is the so called, ‘the fish pursues water plants to reside, the bird selects a good tree to perch. A fine bird will choose a tree to nest in, a virtuous subject will select a lord to serve.’ Sir Yu merely feels that selecting this son is more suitable, that’s all, so how can it be said as betrayal?”

Le Cheng Emperor deeply hated. His eyes were like wanting to cut up Yu Zhong Qing. However, Yu Zhong Qing had already lowered his eyes.

Kang Qinwang turned his blade, pointing it towards Le Cheng Emperor’s Chief Eunuch, “Go fetch a blank imperial decree over.”

That eunuch didn’t dare to disobey, hastily leaving, and after him even followed an imperial guard.

“You want to force this emperor to write an edict, you think the court officials are all stupid? Moreover, just you, you bastard thing who have no morality, no abilities, killing your own brothers, wishing to kill the ruler, and commit patricide, still think of sitting onto the throne?”

Once again getting belittled by Le Cheng Emperor, Kang Qinwang’s eyes turned red from anger, raising the blade and madly hacking around, “Shut up, shut up, you old thing, shut your mouth——”

There was a moment where it directly swung over towards Le Cheng Emperor. Although he didn’t get injured, seeing that bloody blade flash before his eyes, the fear brought about was hard to imagine. Le Cheng Emperor stiffened in fear, naturally not daring to rashly open his mouth again.
