Chapter 636 Better than being a tyrant
"Don't worry, the pulse is fine, and the child is fine too. Maybe the child is just anxious and wants to come out." Doctor Xiao Wang went out after taking Xiao Jiuyue's pulse.
As they left, Doctor Xiao Wang handed Dong Gui a pill and said, "If the birth is difficult, take this pill and feed it to the princess."
"Okay." Donggui solemnly put the medicine in his arms and went in to prepare.
"Yu'er." Su Su entered the room and looked at Xiao Jiuyue, who was lying on the bed and ready to give birth. She comforted her, "Don't be afraid, the baby is almost full-term. Even if you give birth now, it won't be a big deal!"
"I'm not afraid." Xiao Jiuyue felt her stomach tighten and ache. She said, "Xiao Xingxing must have figured it out!"
"Yes, let Xiao Xingxing and Chao Chao play together when the time comes. They are only a few months apart in age." Su Su felt relieved when she saw the midwife delivering Xiao Jiuyue steadily.
…
Shengjing.
"Father, you go first!" Jun Lie and Emperor Jing entered the palace together through the secret passage. Everything was going smoothly, but who knew that there was a traitor and the other party directly burned down the Yangxin Palace.
"Lie'er, go away!"
Emperor Jing sat on the dragon throne. Instead of leaving, he took out an imperial edict from the secret compartment and gave it to Jun Lie.
"Father, the fire is not that big now, we can leave safely." Jun Lie covered his nose, looked at the secret passage in front of him, and urged anxiously.
"No." Emperor Jing shook his head and looked at Jun Lie and said, "I know that your mother was killed by the Imperial Noble Consort!"
Jun Lie's pupils trembled, his fists clenched tightly, and his ink-black eyes stared at Emperor Jing without blinking.
"Lie'er, back then, the prime minister from the imperial concubine's mother's family single-handedly controlled the court. For the sake of the throne, I had to... keep it a secret." Emperor Jing touched the dragon throne. The golden dragon throne looked even more magnificent under the reflection of the fire rising into the sky outside!
"What happened next? You still favored the Imperial Concubine and never thought about avenging your mother!" Jun Lie will always remember that in the last scene, his mother protected him in her arms and finally hid him in a water tank to save him!
"No." Emperor Jing looked at his angry expression and said, "Over the years, I used the Prime Minister to secure my position in the imperial court and even exiled Jun Chen to Jiashui City. Isn't this revenge?"
"Heh." Jun Lie chuckled. The raging fire and thick smoke outside choked him from time to time, making him feel like he was back in the past when he was only six years old and was trapped in a fire with his mother.
"That's because Prince Duan's actions threaten your throne. Otherwise, would you have gone into exile?"
"If the Imperial Concubine and the others hadn't been stupid, would the palace have been lost?"
"Even so, you are reluctant to let the Imperial Noble Consort and Prince Duan die."
"In your heart, the only thing that matters is the throne beneath you. To you, your mother is just one of your many concubines."
Jun Lie's eyes grew increasingly cold, and beneath his calm voice was a raging rage!
"Lie'er." A flash of regret flashed across Emperor Jing's face. He denied, "No, your mother is different from others!"
When he was at his lowest point, he met Concubine Rou, the woman who was like the wind.
"It's different. Mother died for you, but the other concubines didn't die for you." Jun Lie said sarcastically, "When the palace was breached, the one who ran the fastest was the Imperial Concubine!"
"When we were in Tongzhou, the Crown Prince was seriously injured and had a broken leg, the rebellious Prince Duan died, and the Imperial Noble Consort went crazy, so you thought of me!"
"I don't want your throne." Jun Lie sneered and said, "I don't need you to give it to me!"
At this point, he had brought all his elite troops and had already taken control of most of the palace. The throne was within his grasp.
"Lie'er." Emperor Jing held his chest and said, "I am the emperor, but I also have my own difficulties!"
"You don't have to act anymore." Jun Lie stepped forward, looked at him and said, "Are you afraid that I will kill your sons?"
Emperor Jing's eyes fluctuated for a moment.
"You're afraid that when you return to the court, the ministers will curse you as a tyrant who almost became the king of the ruined country because of your favoritism towards the princess who married you!"
"Death is a relief for you!"
Jun Lie stepped forward, lifted him up, and took the imperial edict with him. He walked directly into the secret passage and said, "Now is not the time to die."
"Jun Lie!" Emperor Jing was so angry that he shouted at him, "Put me down!"
"Father, how can I watch you die?" Jun Lie not only did not let him down, but walked even faster.
Jun Lie was a martial artist. Ordinary men had no power to fight back in front of him, not to mention Emperor Jing who had always lived a life of luxury and was in poor health.
Emperor Jing couldn't struggle anymore, so he simply gave up and walked out of the secret passage. Emperor Jing looked at the imperial edict in his hand and said, "Didn't you say that you didn't need me to escort you?"
Emperor Jing had a blank expression on his face. After his thoughts were exposed, he was too lazy to pretend to be a loving father and a filial son.
"Is this a gift from you? I picked it up from the table." Jun Lie played with the imperial edict in his hand. In other people's hands, it was like a treasure, but in Jun Lie's hands, it was just like a toy!
Emperor Jing's mouth twitched with anger.
Jun Lie casually opened the imperial edict and looked at the decree of succession. His eyes flickered slightly. Emperor Jing took a deep breath and said, "Lie'er, this imperial edict was originally prepared for you."
"If I hadn't deposed the Crown Prince and wanted to make you the Crown Prince, the people in the palace wouldn't have regarded you and your mother as thorns in their eyes."
Emperor Jing looked at him. He was exactly like Concubine Rou. The only difference between him and Concubine Rou was his resolute expression. Concubine Rou was gentle and free like a breeze.
But Junlie has a resolute look in his eyes, which is completely different from Concubine Rou.
"Hmph." Jun Lie snorted lightly, showing no intention of responding to Emperor Jing's emotional play.
Emperor Jing continued, "You were so smart back then. Unfortunately, after your mother got into trouble, I sent you to the cold palace. Are you blaming me?"
"Do you know that if you weren't sent to the cold palace, do you think you could grow up alive?"
As soon as Emperor Jing finished speaking, Jun Lie said, "Then I have to thank you, father, for your painstaking efforts."
"As a father, I am very happy to see that you are now both civil and military. I am relieved to leave the country of Nanyue to you." Emperor Jing said in a serious and heartfelt voice: "I am old, and it is time to hand over the world to the young people."
"Even if you don't want to hand it over, you have no face to sit on the throne again! Otherwise, everyone in the world will spit at you and drown you!" Jun Lie's words made Emperor Jing's face turn black!
"But rest assured, Your Majesty. As your son, I cannot afford to lose this person. When the time comes, I will tell you that Concubine Zhao has evil intentions and intends to murder you and disturb your mind. The palace is not suitable for you."
"I went to Tongzhou to recuperate because of my father's illness!"
After Jun Lie finished speaking, Emperor Jing's expression looked a little better. Although he seemed a little useless, at least it was better than being a tyrant, right?
