Chapter 180 My Own Child~
"Outsider?" Xiao Yulan chuckled. "Xiao Jingrui is not an outsider either. After all, the Heavenly Master is also of the Xiao family's bloodline. So if Xiao Jingrui takes the throne, the Great Zhou will still belong to the Xiao family."
"You know?" Seeing that the other party was unmoved, the emperor pretended not to understand and stopped beating around the bush.
"I want to join forces with you. As long as you can help me kill that beast, I will give you the throne after I die. I don't have much time to live anyway."
Bu Ruo was unhappy when he heard what the emperor said.
"Your Majesty, can you clearly understand your position now? Given your current situation, do you think my prince needs you to give way?"
"You want to join forces with my prince now, but it's only because your good brother, Prince Su, who is from the same mother, suddenly became mentally ill on the way to the capital and couldn't bring the military token you secretly sent to rescue you. That's why you want to use my prince to help you deal with Xiao Jingrui."
"Once Xiao Jingrui dies, you will continue to cling to the throne and then pass it on to one of your sons. Whether they are suitable to be emperor is not even within your consideration now. You just want your offspring to continue to sit on the throne."
"Haha, but you might be disappointed. Do you think we're the only ones holding the cards? Listen carefully to what I'm about to say. It's best to have Eunuch Li send a doctor over, otherwise I'm afraid you'll be pissed off to death in a moment."
"Your good son, oh, I'm talking about your biological son this time, ha, the Third Prince, you know there's a woman in her fifties in his mansion, right?"
The emperor looked at Bu Ruo's gloating eyes and gradually felt a bad premonition in his heart: "What do you want to say?"
"Haha, do you know who that woman is? She's the eldest princess of Beining State. Somehow, she was tricked by your third son into secretly coming to the Great Zhou and staying there for several years."
"Princess Beining has her own private soldiers and secret guards, and all of these secret guards are now in the hands of your third son, waiting to take advantage after Xiao Jingrui and you are both defeated."
"There's another yellow bird. You probably guessed who it is without me telling you. After all, you only have two sons."
"Sixth Prince, it's true that he's hated the palace since he was a child, and it's also true that he doesn't like the throne, but he hates you. He hates you for not trusting his mother, and he even heard you secretly tell Eunuch Li that you wanted to execute his mother."
"He wants revenge, but he knows he'll never be able to establish his own power as long as your adopted son is around. He's been away from the palace for so many years, and he's recruited almost half of the bandits in the Great Zhou Dynasty to form his own private army. Among them are some cunning men who want to become officials and make a fortune. They just want to take your life."
"So what if you're the emperor? Look at the queen you married. She cheated on you and poisoned you. The son you carefully raised for twenty years isn't even your own. One of your other two sons colluded with the eldest princess of an enemy country for the throne, and the other has been plotting your death for years."
"Look at my prince. He has the Bu family army, the armored guards, and even a disciple of a god like me as his wife. What can you compare with my prince?"
"Oh, by the way, let me tell you one more thing. I'm already pregnant with twins. My prince is going to have a baby soon, his own~"
"So tell me yourself, does my prince need you to give up the throne? If I were you, I would lie down on the dragon table in front of me and cry with my face covered. It's so miserable... It's so miserable."
The emperor almost died of anger after hearing what Bu Ruo said: "You...you..."
"What do you mean? Is there something wrong with me? It doesn't matter, just point it out. I won't change it anyway."
Just as the emperor was about to faint from anger, Bu Ruo's hand flashed, and a golden light struck the emperor's brow.
"What did you do to me?"
The emperor looked at Bu Ruo in shock. The poison in his body had been tormenting him every day these days, but after Bu Ruo shot golden light at him just now, he clearly felt that the anger that had been pressing on his chest was dissolved.
"Princess Zhan, if you can..."
"I can't." Bu Ruo refused flatly.
"I can indeed dissolve the poison in your body, but I won't do that. I'll just let you live a few more days. Don't die so early."
"Everything you did to the prince is enough to deserve death a thousand times. And what about my parents and brothers? Do you think you did it perfectly? Even the passing of a goose leaves its mark. I haven't yet avenged what you and your cheap son did."
"You sent assassins to kill us. I remember every single thing, so how could I possibly save you? Only by seeing you suffer and despair can we vent our hatred."
The emperor looked at Bu Ruo breathing the air greedily. He hadn't had a good breath for such a long time.
"Ninth brother, ninth sister-in-law, if you can save my life, I will issue an order to abdicate right now and give the throne to you."
When the emperor knew that Bu Ruo could save him, his eyes lit up. No one wants to die. Compared to being alive, the throne is nothing. As long as he is still alive, he can just take the throne back. This... is human nature.
Bu Ruo laughed: "Your Highness, see, only when it happens to you will you feel the pain."
"Your Majesty, please stop sitting there and daydreaming. Do you want my prince to clean up your mess now that you're giving up the throne? Once the mess is cleaned up and all your real and fake sons are mostly dead, you can then claim that it was my prince who forced you to write the abdication edict."
"You've got a good plan. You've made up all your wits. Do you think we're all fools?"
The emperor's face froze, but he still said stubbornly: "I don't think so. I... just want to live a few more years."
"Tsk, who doesn't want to live a few more years? Don't even mention that you're the emperor. Even that idiot in my family is terrified of death."
"We won't cooperate with you, and don't even think about using my prince to do anything. I'm a disciple of God, and I can see through your thoughts at a glance."
"We will take the throne, but not now. We will take action after you have finished fighting each other. Don't worry, this throne can only belong to my prince."
The emperor looked at the couple below and said, "Today you have to agree, whether you agree or not."
"Since I summoned you into the palace, I have made complete preparations. There are countless guards and secret guards outside. If you can't heal me today, I will not allow you to leave the door of this imperial study today."
Following the emperor's order, all the guards who had been outside the imperial study ran in, and there were also secret guards in the dark.
"How about this, Princess Zhan, would you like to reconsider this? I'll give you a chance to change your mind."
