Chapter 150: You're so stupid
"I'm ready to depose the Crown Prince, but the Queen's father is the Prime Minister, and there's also the Heavenly Master... I'm not completely confident. If they force the emperor to abdicate, it will be the end of our Xiao family, and the royal family of the Great Zhou will have to change their surname from now on."
Ancestors of the Xiao family: Changing the surname...that won’t happen.
"I intend to use the opportunity of a showdown with the Heavenly Master to have the secret guards and palace guards apprehend him, but I don't know if it will work."
Ancestors: You are so stupid that we don’t know if it will work.
"I have already issued an order for Prince Su to return to the capital a few days ago. He is probably on his way now. My health is getting worse day by day. If we can capture the Heavenly Master, I will directly depose the Crown Prince and let Prince Su succeed to the throne one day."
"As for the Ninth Prince... I was forced to cooperate with Bei Ning once again and had them lead the Ninth Prince to the border. His princess also went there recently. If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely not be able to return this time."
Ancestors: ...
Ancestor One: "Let go! Let go! Don't stop me, let me go down and kill this idiot. He is an idiot, and his brother, Prince Su, is not smart either! And the throne, why doesn't he go to heaven!"
Second Ancestor: "Grandfather, please sit down and let me do it. I'm going to kill this traitorous beast! Originally, I only thought he killed his brothers and sisters and his father and mother in order to seize the throne. I didn't expect that he would actually collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and this is not the first time!"
Ancestor Three: "I'll go! Let me go! I was saying that Ruo'er used to buy roast chicken and sneak in to seduce us when she had nothing to do. Why hasn't she come lately? It turns out that bastard took us to the border!"
"This bastard has deprived me of the only joy I've had in hundreds of years. I'm going to die with him."
The emperor didn't know that he had aroused the anger of his ancestors, and he was still talking to himself.
"Ancestors of the Xiao family, please bless me to succeed. I know that my ninth brother is the most suitable candidate, but... after all, he is not from the same mother as me."
"I killed my father, the emperor, who doted on him the most, and forced his mother, the empress, who loved him the most, to death. If my ninth brother succeeds to the throne in the future, given his temper, he will definitely make my deeds public. I and my few useless sons will die without a burial place."
"But I don't regret it. The only thing I regret is that I could only poison him and not kill him. This is all because of the three thousand armored guards my father gave him. If it weren't for those armored guards, he wouldn't be alive today."
"Father, you are biased. If you had given the Iron Guard to me, I would have killed Xiao Yulan long ago. And I wouldn't have been afraid of the Heavenly Master."
The ancestors of the Xiao family were furious when they heard this, especially the late emperor. If the late queen had not kept stopping him, he would have gone down to clean up the mess himself even if it meant risking his life.
"Hey, calm down and don't be anxious. He won't live long in his current state. There's no need to put yourself at risk."
"You've done enough for the Xiao family. You saw through his true nature early on and gave the Armored Guards to Xiao Yulan to protect him. Before you died, you gave the Bu Family Army to the Bu family to provide him with the strongest support. You did a great job."
The founding ancestor of the Xiao family was trying to persuade the late emperor when suddenly a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Hey, hey, hey! Stop howling! That damn Heavenly Master is here to find this idiot."
"Hahaha, now we're going to have a good show. Watch them fight each other. I won't feel bad if either of them dies. It would be best if they all die to make way for Xiao Yulan and his wife."
It is said that the ancestors of the Xiao family could play together with Bu Ruo, because they all just like to watch the fun and don't mind making trouble.
Now it was gradually getting dark. The Taoist priest opened the gate of the ancestral temple and stood with his back to the light, which frightened the emperor.
"Tian...Tianshi? Why are you here in the ancestral temple?"
The Heavenly Master walked in with his hands behind his back and knelt on the cushion beside the Emperor: "Of course, I am here to worship my ancestors just like the Emperor."
The emperor's mood was like a calm lake suddenly thrown with a stone: "What did you say? Who are you worshipping? Whose ancestors?"
The Heavenly Master didn't even glance at him. After kowtowed three times, he said in a cold voice, "Of course it's the ancestor of the Xiao family."
The Emperor found it extremely difficult to breathe. He sent secret guards to investigate the origin of the Heavenly Master, but they could not find any information. It turned out that...
"Are you from the Xiao family?"
The Heavenly Master finally gave the Emperor a look and said, "Yes, this Heavenly Master also has the surname Xiao, and it's the same Xiao as the Emperor. This Heavenly Master thought the Emperor had already found out. It seems that your secret guards are not very useful."
The emperor was frightened and subconsciously looked towards the door.
"No need to look. Everyone outside has been stunned by this Heavenly Master. Now it's just you and me here. If the emperor has any questions, please feel free to ask."
"After all, we are both descendants of the Xiao family. Although this Heavenly Master wants to overthrow the Xiao family and kill all of their descendants, I will also let you die a clear death because of your pitiful stupidity."
The emperor looked at him in shock: "Why? Since you are also a descendant of the Xiao family, why would you want to destroy the Xiao family and overthrow the Xiao family's rule? What benefit would this bring to you?"
The Heavenly Master said sarcastically, "Haha, descendants of the Xiao family? Do you think everyone wants to be a descendant of the Xiao family?"
The Taoist priest raised his head and looked at the tablet, his voice filled with endless hatred: "If you think about it, I can also be considered your ancestor."
"I am the fifth son of the third generation ancestor of the Xiao family. My mother once entered the palace to become a maid in order to escape death, but the then emperor forced her to have sex with him after drinking. That time, my mother became pregnant."
"When the Emperor found out, he initially didn't want to care, but under pressure from the Empress Dowager, he finally gave my mother a promised status. He then abandoned my mother in a remote palace and left her to fend for herself."
"The people in the palace always follow the wind and insist that my mother deliberately climbed into the emperor's bed and conceived the dragon seed, so they humiliated my mother in every way."
"Actually, it wasn't my mother who delivered the hangover soup to that bastard emperor. It was another palace maid who was close to my mother. But that palace maid was having an affair with a guard, and they had agreed to marry her when she was released from the palace. That night was the day they had agreed to meet, so she asked my mother to deliver the soup on her behalf."
"My mother agreed out of pity, but she never expected that she would end up getting herself into trouble."
"The maid felt very sorry for my mother because of this incident, so she cut off her future and asked the steward to go to my mother's palace to serve. During that time, she spent almost all the money she had saved, but it was still not enough."
"After my mother gave birth to me, her life became even more difficult. She relied on the silver and gifts secretly sent by the guards to survive every day, and had to endure the humiliation from the other concubines. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's emphasis on the heir to the throne, my mother and I would have been tortured to death long ago."
