If Emperor Yuan had been in a coma for a long time, they might have had the courage to take the step of forcing the emperor to abdicate. However, when Emperor Yuan woke up, no one dared to act rashly, and they all looked like quails.
However, as soon as Emperor Yuan woke up, he heard the secret guard report that several princes had joined forces to forge the imperial edict and forced the Third Prince to death under the Imperial City. The latter was straightforward, did not say a word, and followed the order to commit suicide. The always stern and cold emperor was silent for a few seconds on the dragon bed, vomited a mouthful of blood, and fell into a coma again.
That night, basin after basin of water was carried in and out of the sleeping chamber. The imperial guards were on high alert, surrounding the entire palace with strict defenses, and the entire Imperial City had entered a state of martial law.
All the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Courtyard were gathered around the dragon bed. When the emergency occurred earlier, the old imperial physician took the pulse and said there was a glimmer of hope. After the second attack of breathlessness and fainting, he took the pulse again, and couldn’t help but shed old tears, silent.
Death was the fairest thing.
Even this talented and accomplished tyrant, in the face of death, was no different from ordinary people.
“It’s strange to say, the body and bones of Emperor Yuan have always been strong and sturdy, and although this disease came suddenly and fiercely, it’s not impossible to survive either.”
Yu Beizhou said in a tone that was both indifferent and detached. “It’s a pity Senior brother, you did it in one go. On the second day, when he had a brief revival, the imperial edict to execute the Fourth and Sixth was only half written, and he passed away.”
The white-robed prince could no longer listen, he grabbed Yu Beizhou’s lapel and pushed him hard against the wall.
The force was so great that it was even more violent than the wrestling in the snowy field before, full of anger, making people’s backs hurt from the impact.
Zong Luo’s chest was heaving, obviously very angry, and he said word by word, “Yu Beizhou, that’s your father!”
Such an aloof attitude that didn’t concern oneself really angered him.
“Hahahaha, my father?”
Yu Beizhou let out a series of short breaths, laughing so hard that he was out of breath. “What nonsense is Senior brother talking about?”
“Do you really think that if you give me back the identity of a prince, all these can become mine? You should know that in his previous life, Emperor Yuan was planning to call you back, who knows if he wanted to recognize you regardless of blood ties, what a great paternal love!”
This time it was Zong Luo’s turn to be silent.
Identity could change, but people’s feelings could never.
Emperor Yuan had so many princes, even if he gave each prince the right to choose, he did not pour so much effort and love into each prince.
What Yu Beizhou said was absolutely correct.
Even if Zong Luo gave it back to him, he couldn’t give him these emotions that were stolen due to the identity swap.
Emperor Yuan’s love was the emperor’s expectation for the heir. There might be paternal love, but it would only be given to the heir from beginning to end.
This importance was based on the premise of the heir, it would not be given to the civet cat that the Yu family used to swap the prince, let alone him, a wandering soul and wild ghost who had taken over the nest by transmigrating inside the book.
Zong Luo’s heart completely calmed down and was immersed in ice water. “You came to find me, let me not go, simply to want to say these?”
These words, for him now, had no effect other than intensifying the pain.
The accumulated pain was too much, and people would become numb, like a skin that couldn’t feel the reaction.
“I said, I came to help Senior brother.”
Facing the gaze of the white-robed prince, Yu Beizhou said calmly. “In his previous life, Emperor Yuan could exile Senior brother to the frontier, based on the premise that Senior brother really knew nothing about this. If Senior brother just rushes up to confess, Emperor Yuan will only feel that he has been fooled for decades. Apart from a death decree, Senior brother will get nothing.”
This also fits with Pei Qianxue’s warning.
Zong Luo had no evidence to show Emperor Yuan why he would know this. It was known by accident, or known from the beginning, or even conspired with the Yu family.
“Moreover, in order to avoid the fate of the previous life, Senior brother even used a death escape halfway through this life. When he came back, he pretended to lose his memory and sight.” Yu Beizhou said with deep meaning and playful tone. “You guess, the always suspicious Emperor Yuan, after knowing that you are not his blood, will he associate this matter together?”
Zong Luo dared not gamble. Because he knew that what Yu Beizhou said was all true.
The former may still be okay, although the latter had been arranged for a long time, there may also be loopholes.
If something really was found out, it might not be as simple as a stable death decree.
Yu Beizhou really came to help him.
The hand that Zong Luo used to hold his lapel also slowly lost its strength and was retracted to his side.
“Why are you…?” He struggled to ask.
“Oh my.”
Yu Beizhou’s tone deliberately became sweet and insincere. “Senior brother, don’t misunderstand. It’s just that it was not easy for this Junior brother to resurrect Senior brother. If Senior brother is going to simply and decisively cut his throat again, wouldn’t this Junior brother’s previous painstaking efforts be in vain?”
“Instead of being determined to die, why not consider the suggestion this jJunior brother made earlier?”
He had given everything to go back in time once.
He had already lost everything and couldn’t go back a second time.
“Yu Beizhou, I’ve said it before, I’m not the Third Prince before the age of seven—”
Yu Beizhou chuckled and casually interrupted him. “If Senior brother just wants to say this, then I’ve known it for a long time.”
He’s not a fool. The change in the Third Prince before and after the age of seven was so big, how could he not see it?
Moreover, there was no soul in the Great Wilderness that couldn’t be captured by the Twenty-Four Star Soul Locking Array.
Unless he came from heaven, he was a reincarnated immortal.
Only an immortal could break free from the puppet strings of a puppet show when millions of people all over the world were pleasing him, high above, and bestow upon him supreme pain and fiery hatred.
“So what?”
Yu Beizhou had known for a long time that what he had tried so hard to keep was a real exiled immortal.
Even if all his suffering came from this person.
