Chapter 71 Li Yunhuai
The nights in the capital are exceptionally quiet, especially the winter nights, which are cold and quiet.
Xie You, wearing a black nightgown, took out a map of the palace from his arms and took a look.
He paid someone to draw this map.
He rarely entered the palace, except when Xie Anci took him there a few times when he attended palace banquets.
Later, he realized his feelings and stopped going to the palace. He didn't want to see Li Jinchen.
Xie You performed Qinggong and flew towards the palace.
The biting cold wind cut across his face like a knife. Xie You was in good shape and soon reached the outer wall of the palace.
He looked around and made sure there were no patrolling guards. Then he jumped lightly and jumped into the palace.
The roads in the palace were complicated. Xie You relied on his memory and the map in his hand to carefully avoid the patrol teams. Xie
You looked for several places where Li Jinchen often stayed but didn't see a single person.
After wiping the dagger on his hand, Xie You was about to look again when a figure flashed in front of him and grabbed him.
In the quiet study, only Eunuch Sun was standing by the desk, looking drowsy.
In the secret passage of the study, Li Jinchen turned on the lantern and hummed a little tune.
His voice gradually became unlike his own. When he walked to the end of the secret passage and pressed the switch next to him.
The stone door slowly opened, and a man who looked exactly like Li Jinchen was chained and tied up, with many torture instruments placed beside him, which were obviously used recently.
"Li Jinchen" holding a lantern slowly walked up to him and pulled off the mask on his face with his hands.
It was a face that was four or five points similar to Li Jinchen, but younger.
With an evil smile on his lips, he brought the lantern close to Li Jinchen's face.
"Cough cough cough...Li Yunhuai?" Li Jinchen's face was covered in blood, and only his eyes were unusually bright.
"Well, logically, I should call you my royal brother." Li Yunhuai placed the lantern in his hand on the table next to him and slowly lit the candle in the secret room.
"Get lost! I feel disgusted when I see you now!" Li Jinchen frowned, all the wounds on his body were caused by Li Yunhuai.
Li Jinchen never thought that his father had a son outside, and he had been paving the way for him since before.
Even his most trusted eunuch Sun was Li Yunhuai's man.
He still remembered that day when he sealed the Regent Palace, and when he was restless, he was knocked down by a cup of tea by eunuch Sun, and when he woke up again, he was tied to this place.
The secret room in the study.
He had never discovered that there was a secret room in the study before.
Li Yunhuai actually told him that his father had a beloved woman, and that woman was not his mother.
Li Jinchen was unwilling to believe that the kind father and gentle mother in his memory...
were all fake!
They pretended to be respectful to each other, making Li Jinchen think that they were in love.
Li Jinchen could never imagine that the late emperor was just compromising for the sake of face.
His father didn't like him the most, but the shameful son in front of him!
How much did his father love this young man in front of him?
He was willing to abandon his own son for him.
Li Jinchen went from being shocked and heartbroken to calmly accepting.
But he was unwilling to admit defeat. Even if he died, he would kill this young man in front of him who had the same father as him and his different mother!
Li Jinchen stared at Li Yunhuai in front of him with a vicious look.
Li Yunhuai looked calm and smiled.
"I?" Li Yunhuai walked to the rack next to him, his slender fingers glowing white, and he gently stroked the torture instruments on it.
Suddenly, he pulled out a long whip and swung it at Li Jinchen, "Now I am the emperor, you will die in this dark secret room!"
Snap, snap, snap...
The long whip kept swinging at Li Jinchen, and he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from making any sound.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Yunhuai was panting with exhaustion and threw the long whip on the ground.
"Cough cough cough..." Li Jinchen finally couldn't stand it and coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the blood soaked his clothes.
Li Yunhuai moved a chair and sat opposite Li Jinchen.
He panted and smiled, "I didn't expect you to be so tough and still be alive after all this?"
"Cough cough cough... Didn't you achieve your goal? Why do you look like you hate me so much?" Li Jinchen was puzzled.
Li Yunhuai and his mother both received the love of their father, and his father even paved the way for him for so many years.
Li Jinchen didn't understand, why was Li Yunhuai still dissatisfied?
"Hehe, because I hate that man, I hate your mother, and I hate you even more!" Li Yunhuai laughed in a low voice, and he stood up suddenly.
"Do you know where this place is?" Li Yunhuai grabbed Li Jinchen's collar, and his handsome face was particularly distorted.
Li Jinchen shook his head, and the pain in his body almost made him suffocate.
"This is where my mother and I have lived for several years! That old guy made us hide here for his reputation."
"He couldn't even give my mother a concubine." Li Yunhuai's eyes were red, and in addition to hatred, there was also a bigoted madness in his eyes.
Li Jinchen looked at Li Yunhuai who was in a frenzy, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
But all this was not caused by him.
Li Yunhuai covered his face. He still remembered the year when he was six years old, which was also a winter night.
He really missed his father so much that he didn't want to stay in this dark and damp secret room.
So he slipped out quietly when his mother wasn't paying attention.
The warm candlelight made the study room particularly cozy.
As soon as Li Yunhuai came out, he saw Li Ji, their father, holding Li Jinchen.
Li Jinchen curled up in Li Ji's arms, and the two looked like a loving father and a filial son.
Li Ji obviously saw him at that time. The always kind father showed murderous intent to him for the first time, and it was a warning look.
Li Yunhuai knew that Li Ji wanted him to go back and be a shady son forever.
From then on, Li Yunhuai began to hate Li Ji, Li Jinchen, and Li Jinchen's mother.
He wanted to lock Li Jinchen and his mother here one day.
Now, it has finally come true.
Li Yunhuai had a bloodthirsty smile on his face.
He lifted Li Jinchen's chin and forced him to raise his head.
"I hate Li Ji very much, and I hate that his blood is flowing in my body."
"Now that I have everything from him, do you know what I want to do next?" Li Yunhuai asked Li Jinchen, but he obviously didn't want to hear Li Jinchen's answer.
Li Jinchen shook his head silently. This madman seemed to be able to do anything.
"I will destroy Aolong Kingdom! I will personally hand it over to Zhao Jingxing! Hahaha..." Li Yunhuai laughed crazily.
He wanted to give away Li Ji's life's work! Let that old man not be able to sleep in peace in his grave.
"Uh, cough cough cough...you are crazy!" Li Jinchen roared.
