Chapter 93 I Can Abdicate
"Everything I did before was my fault. I dare not ask for your forgiveness..."
The emperor looked sad.
The person in front of him had gloomy eyes, and his eyes were bloodshot like a wild beast about to lose control.
The emperor believed that if he didn't have these guards around him.
Xiao Yan's sword might have stabbed him without hesitation, rather than at Xiao Yan himself.
Xiao Yan wanted to kill him more than anyone else.
He also hated him more than anyone else.
In fact, the emperor also knew in his heart how much Xiao Yan hated him.
It's just that he has been deceiving himself.
Or maybe he didn't care before.
He was the emperor and Xiao Yan was just the crown prince.
Even if he did something wrong, Xiao Yan couldn't blame him.
There was nothing I could do about him.
Just like he slaughtered the entire Jiang family, Jiang Yu did not dare to show any resentment.
This is imperial power.
He is the emperor, and everyone and everything should obey him.
But now, Xiao Yan went from drawing his sword and pointing it at him to pointing the sword at Xiao Yan himself.
Perhaps he would commit suicide in the next moment.
I am about to lose my only son.
The emperor was really panicked and regret almost overwhelmed him.
"But that day, I told you that my willingness to fulfill your wish was genuine. It wasn't some new scheme on my part, it came completely from my heart..."
A sigh escaped the emperor's trembling lips, his face full of regret:
"But by the time I sent people to pick them up, they had already disappeared."
The emperor did not mention the discovery of bloodstains, he only said that Meng Mingshu and her daughter were missing.
Worried that Xiao Yan would continue to misunderstand that he was the one who took action, the emperor added:
"After learning that Meng Mingshu was pregnant, I only wanted to take her back to the palace to rest and take care of her. How could I possibly do anything to her and her daughter..."
All of this was not my original intention. It must be the work of evil people, causing you and I to become enemies..."
"The most important thing now is to find them first. You must not act impulsively.
If something happens to you, who will Meng Mingshu and her daughter rely on when they return to the palace? "
This was the first time the emperor was so humble.
He was really scared.
During this period of time, he repeatedly dreamed of the scene like today, dreaming that Xiao Yan discovered the truth and that father and son turned against each other.
I dreamed that I had lost my son and my country was in turmoil.
Xiao Yan lowered his eyes and pondered the emperor's words. Jiang Yu also stood up at this moment.
"Your Highness, what His Majesty said is true. Cui Zhe and I have been searching for the Crown Princess for some time now, and now we have a clue."
There was mockery in Xiao Yan's narrow eyes.
"Jiang Yu, now even you are trying to fool me."
"If you have any trace of her, how could the person who married me today be this bitch?"
Xiao Yan looked directly at the emperor:
"If I'm not mistaken, the drug was administered after the wedding ceremony."
"This medicine is in today's drink. Once I drink it, I will be unconscious and can be manipulated by you like livestock and bred, right?"
A guilty look flashed in the emperor's eyes.
Xiao Yan's words were extremely unpleasant, but the emperor could not say a word in rebuttal.
Because this is the naked truth, and it was also what he and the Queen Mother originally planned.
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming tense, Jiang Yu spoke again.
"Your Highness, I acknowledge my guilt."
Jiang Yu knelt down and said, "I have deceived you, but I haven't found any trace of him yet. But I know one thing: if he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body."
“The fact that the bodies of the Crown Princess and her daughter have not been found is enough to prove that they may not have met with an accident.
It is very likely that they are waiting for Your Highness to rescue them."
The emperor agreed repeatedly: "Yes, Jiang Yu is right."
"Yan'er, put down your sword and temporarily put aside your hatred. Right now, the most important thing for us is to find the Crown Princess."
"After you find her, I can abdicate in advance. You can even abolish the harem and make Meng Mingshu your only queen! I will do whatever you say!"
Unfortunately, Xiao Yan didn't believe a word the emperor said.
It is said that a king never jokes, but in this world, let alone calculating people's hearts, even killing innocent people is nothing to the emperor.
The emperor had gone back on his word many times before, but without any consequences.
"Your Majesty's promise is worthless."
Xiao Yan's narrow eyes were filled with mockery and bloodshot.
"I know what you care about. It's not about me, your only son, but about the continuation of your family line, so that the kingdom you worked so hard to build will have someone to carry on your legacy."
He had already seen clearly the emperor's cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness.
"You've brought our family to this point, and I won't let you get what you want."
He couldn't defeat the emperor, not because he couldn't defeat the old man himself, but because he couldn't defeat the imperial power.
Anyone is an ant in front of imperial power.
But even an ant will fight back if persecuted to this extent.
"The child in Meng Mingshu's arms will be the last child I have in this life."
"Find her, she and the child are safe, and your Majesty has a bloodline still alive in this world."
"If I can't find her..."
The emperor's hands trembled, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
"Yan'er, what do you mean?"
"what you up to?"
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he saw a mocking smile on Xiao Yan's lips.
Seeing the sword shining with cold light and extremely sharp, Xiao Yan took it and was about to stab it towards his body.
The emperor was so angry and anxious that his body was shaking slightly.
"Rebellious son! Quick, stop him!"
The emperor's lips trembled violently.
In order to avenge him and the fact that they used him as a tool to continue the family line, this rebellious son castrated himself!
His only son!
A dignified prince! With the most noble blood flowing in his veins, no one in this world has a more noble status than Xiao Yan!
If he became a eunuch, the emperor could imagine how future generations would laugh at him for hundreds or thousands of years to come.
Mocking Xiao Yan's transformation from a crown prince to a lowly eunuch.
Mocking him for forcing his only son into such a state.
Laugh at his empty-handed efforts.
Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes went dark and his face turned pale.
Fortunately, Jiang Yu was closer to Xiao Yan than the others, and he moved extremely quickly. In almost an instant, he snatched the sword from Xiao Yan's hand and threw it to the ground.
The imperial guards then immediately surrounded Xiao Yan to prevent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from acting impulsively.
"Rebellious son!"
The emperor covered his chest with his hands. He could see that Xiao Yan was determined to take revenge on him, even at the cost of hurting himself.
"You win..." The emperor sighed helplessly. He seemed to have aged ten years overnight. His figure became more hunched and his face became paler.
