Chapter 309 I Want You to Be Neither Live nor Die

"Long live the emperor." In the Yinfeng Palace, all the court officials and guards knelt before the emperor.

"Get up, Chu Ziyi, take your men to confiscate the property of all the ministers who have surrendered to Shangguan Nanfeng and exile them." The emperor looked at Shangguan Nanfeng, whose face was as pale as death, and gave the order directly.

"Yes!" After Chu Ziyi received the order, he left quickly with his men.

Many people secretly wiped their sweat. Fortunately, they were determined and did not turn against the second prince. It turned out that all this was the emperor's calculation.

Tonight in Dongyou is destined to be a restless night.

"The imperial family is the most ruthless. Your Majesty, you have done so much, even using us mother and son, just to force Shangguan Nanxing to agree to succeed the throne, right?"

Concubine Hui laughed at herself. Now she was wearing the queen's clothes, half lying on the ground, and she had already figured everything out in her mind.

"I didn't use you, but you were the ones who sought death first. I was just using your tricks against you. Also, I gave you a chance at that time, but unfortunately you were blinded by greed."

The emperor looked at Concubine Hui without the slightest pity. She had previously admitted that she was the one who murdered Xing'er's mother, but he had not yet settled the score.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, do you really think that everything is under your control?" Concubine Hui seemed to have thought of something and smiled coldly.

"Take Shangguan Nanfeng to the Heavenly Prison, and let Concubine Hui stay. You have worked hard in the Golden Palace these days, so go back. Nanxing and Yue girl should also go back."

After hearing Concubine Hui's words, the emperor felt no wavering at all. Now he was only thinking about how to avenge Concubine Xian.

"Yes." After everyone performed the ceremony, they left in an orderly manner.

After they left the palace, they all looked back. After dawn, Dongyou was about to undergo a drastic change.

"Yuer, father..." Shangguan Nanxing finally spoke on the way to send Su Yue back to the Princess' Mansion.

"When Chen Wanwan and I went to see Chu Ziyi before, we knew the emperor's plan." Su Yue sighed lightly, but still said it out loud.

Before, when she went to find Chu Ziyi and was ready to bring Chu Ziyi into the palace to help Shangguan Nanxing, she didn't expect that Chu Ziyi saw her coming and directly told her the emperor's plan.

Even Chu Ziyi's request for leave to rest was deliberately arranged by the emperor to provide convenience for Shangguan Nanfeng and others. As for the fact that the palace was controlled by Shangguan Nanfeng so quickly, it was also the emperor's secret instruction to pretend to surrender.

It's really sad that the emperor did so much but just forced Shangguan Nanxing to succeed to the throne.

I wonder if the emperor in the previous life, when he was forced to abdicate by Shangguan Nanfeng, also wanted to use the same trick of torturing Shangguan Nanxing as he did in this life.

Thinking of this, Su Yue denied it in his heart. First, the emperor in the previous life did not do so much. Second, when Shangguan Nanfeng forced the emperor to abdicate, he killed the emperor directly. There was no such thing as the imperial seal disappearing.

Maybe in the previous life, Shangguan Nanxing publicly refused the throne, and the emperor had given up on him, so he made Shangguan Nanfeng the crown prince.

However, Shangguan Nanfeng's style of doing things made the emperor hesitate, and Shangguan Nanfeng noticed it and wanted to kill him.

The emperor also did not expect that the person who was appointed as the crown prince would be so eager to abdicate, which allowed Shangguan Nanfeng to take advantage of the opportunity and force the emperor to abdicate successfully.

Thinking of this, Su Yue felt that everything made sense.

"Yuer, will you blame me?" Shangguan Nanxing heard Su Yue's words, and looked at Su Yue who had been silent, so he pulled Su Yue's hand and asked anxiously.

"Why should I blame you?" Su Yue was stunned. She really didn't expect Shangguan Nanxing to ask such a question.

"The emperor has too many frustrations. Even though my father loves my mother so much, in the end, it was also to consolidate the emperor's position. There are many beauties in the harem. If I were the emperor, I would..."

Shangguan Nanxing paused and finally expressed his thoughts.

After hearing this, Su Yue was also stunned. It turned out that Nan Xing had always been worried about this aspect.

"What about you? Can you also have three thousand beauties?" Su Yue chuckled, stopped and looked at Shangguan Nanxing.

They walked slowly. There was no one else on the road at this time, only a few guards followed them.

"No, I won't. If I had that idea, I wouldn't have been unwilling to accept the throne. This farce is also due to me."

Shangguan Nanxing also stopped and looked at Su Yue very sincerely.

"I believe you." Su Yue chuckled, but her heart was touched.

Nan Xing's consideration was not unreasonable. In the previous life, Shangguan Nanfeng took concubines not only to consolidate the throne but also for their beauty, and Su Xin was one of them.

Thinking of Su Xin, Su Yue suppressed her smile. She had been back for so long and had been so busy with matters in the palace that she had forgotten about Su Xin.

"Nanxing, Qing'er is dead, right?" Su Yue lowered his head, his tone was dull and it was impossible to tell what emotion he was expressing.

"Well, I don't want to hide it from you, but I don't know how to tell you appropriately." Shangguan Nanxing nodded slightly after hearing Su Yue's words.

"Nanxing, take me to the Sky Prison. I want to see someone." Su Yue took a deep breath, then looked up and looked at Shangguan Nanxing.

"Okay, I'll take you there." Shangguan Nanxing noticed Su Yue's emotions and didn't say much. Instead, he held Su Yue's hand tightly and comforted her silently.

Now, only Concubine Hui and the emperor were left in the Yinfeng Hall of the imperial palace. The guards were afraid that Concubine Hui would hurt the emperor, so they tied her up tightly.

The situation at this moment is the opposite of what it was not long ago.

"Concubine Hui, I have always known that you are smart, but you are too smart." The emperor stood beside Concubine Hui and finally spoke.

"So what if I'm smart? I can't compare to your partiality, Your Majesty." Concubine Hui lowered her head and sneered.

"Concubine Hui, if you still think you can make a comeback, then I can tell you that your brother is dead. He sacrificed his life for the country on the battlefield."

The emperor looked at Concubine Hui's unmoved expression and bluntly told her what she cared about most.

"How is it possible? How could my brother sacrifice his life for the country..." Concubine Hui raised her head and looked at the emperor with disbelief after hearing the news.

"It must be you. It was you who gave the signal, right? It was you who killed my brother!" Concubine Hui looked at the emperor and asked again in a shrill voice.

"Whatever you think, I don't want to say more. You can stay here because I just want to know one thing."

The emperor looked at Concubine Hui and saw that her eyes finally had some spirit. Then he continued to talk about what he wanted to know.

"Since Your Majesty already knows, why does he need to ask again and again?"

When Concubine Hui saw the emperor's expression, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. The emperor was really affectionate. He still couldn't forget that woman after so many years.

"So it's really you, right?" The emperor's aura turned cold, as if he had become a different person, and he looked at Concubine Hui and asked.

"Give me back my son's life!" Just when the emperor was about to do something, the crazy Concubine Yu rushed in with a dagger.

The emperor didn't want to be disturbed, so he asked the guards at the door to leave, which gave Concubine Yu the opportunity to take advantage of.

As for Concubine Yu, after learning that Concubine Hui had been captured and had been staying in Yinfeng Palace with the emperor, she sneaked over with a dagger in hand under cover of darkness.

Along the way, everyone was busy cleaning up the mess in the palace and no one noticed her at all. Even if they did, so what? With Concubine Yu's identity, which servant would dare to stop her?

Besides, after Concubine Yu rushed in and saw that Concubine Hui was tied up, she rushed over with a knife and stabbed Concubine Hui.

The emperor was shocked and pulled Concubine Yu over, only to see a dagger inserted straight into Concubine Hui's right shoulder. Concubine Yu was so strong that she even pierced Concubine Hui's shoulder.

"Concubine Yu, what's wrong?" The emperor looked at the somewhat crazy Concubine Yu, and a trace of doubt flashed through his mind.

"Hahaha, Your Majesty, you don't really think that everything is as planned by you, do you? Hahaha..."

Concubine Hui looked at the emperor's expression, suppressed the pain in her body, and laughed heartily.

"Your Majesty, our Xuan'er is gone. She killed him." Concubine Yu turned her head, looked at the emperor, tears streaming down her face.

After Xuan'er passed away, she felt like every day was a year, and finally waited for this day.

"What?!" The emperor was shocked and then looked at Concubine Hui with great anger.

"Why? Besides Shangguan Nanxing, do you care about other sons?"

When Concubine Hui saw the emperor's expression, she was no longer afraid. Now that she was at the end of her rope, she would rather die than let the emperor have an easy life.

The emperor stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Hui's neck. Just when Concubine Hui felt she was about to be freed, the emperor suddenly let go.

"Empress Hui, I will make you wish you were dead!"

The emperor's voice exploded above Concubine Hui's head, and she was finally afraid.
