Now, the throne belongs to Ye Ren.

Ye Ling had long wanted to eliminate this treacherous Fourth Imperial Uncle.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a reason to do it.

In order to keep Ye Ren calm.

Ye Ling was in front of him.

It will always be the peaceful and beautiful scene of "a loving family".

I've wanted to kill him for a long time!

Now, I'm saying these words.

It was all just a grand facade, making Ye Ren believe that the emperor had good intentions.

Ye Ren knew that Ye Ling didn't really want to let him go.

But he couldn't expose this insincere talk.

He could only say this reluctantly.

"Your Majesty, please punish me severely according to the laws of the Great Yuan Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to be exiled! Even if I never return to Dayuan City for the rest of my life!"

"Besides, isn't my being far from Dayuan City exactly what His Majesty wants?"

"Nonsense!"

Ye Xin immediately said sternly.

"How dare you presume to guess His Majesty's will!"

Ye Ren immediately stood up.

Aggressive!

"Third brother! Stop pretending to be a good guy here!"

"You think I don't know that you and the second brother both wish me dead!"

"If it weren't for an imperial edict left by my father, ordering my second son to spare my life no matter what!"

"The second son killed me long ago after he ascended the throne!"

"Outrageous! How dare you show such disrespect to the late Emperor! How dare you speak so rudely! How many heads do you have to chop off?!"

"I only have one head! If Ye Ling wants it, let him have it! Anyway, I live in fear every day in this palace, terrified that the Emperor will cut off my head one day. I might as well just kill me now!"

Ye Ling's face was ashen.

She looked at him with a frown.

"Fourth Imperial Uncle, I can pretend I didn't hear what you just said. Please have some self-respect."

"You don't need to pretend you didn't hear me! Just issue the decree to kill me! Wasn't the second son's killing of my son a warning to me back then?!"

Ye Ling slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"Fourth Imperial Uncle! Back then, Ye Xiaobei beat someone to death in the street! According to the laws of the Great Yuan Dynasty, that would be punishable by beheading! Wu Ying was merely acting in accordance with the law!"

"It was you who were determined to make Father Emperor break the law! Father Emperor protected Ye Xiaobei, but who will give justice to the innocent people who died tragically!"

Ye Ren shouted sternly!

"He was just a lowly commoner! He's dead, so be it! His life is nothing compared to my son's!"

"Fourth Imperial Uncle! Don't forget, Ye Xiaobei's noble status is not because of any great achievements he has made, but because he is of royal blood!"

"Without the royal family identity, Ye Xiaobei is just an ordinary citizen!"

"But the royal family's status is given by the people! Without the support of the people, can the Ye family hold onto the throne? Can they gain control of the world?!"

"Could Ye Xiaobei possibly be of royal blood?!"

Ye Ling presented the facts clearly to Ye Ren.

He knew.

even so.

Ye Ren wouldn't listen to reason.

He was blinded by hatred.

The Wu family must be destroyed!

But Ye Ling is determined to protect Wu Ying!
