Chapter 2031 Imperial Uncle, the World is Now in My Hands (2020)
The aide frowned deeply—he had unnecessarily lowered his voice earlier.
Recommended by the Empress Dowager and having served the Crown Prince for so many years, he finally understood that this was a piece of mud that could not be straightened even if it was broken!
The eldest prince shouted, but realizing the strange looks around him, he quickly shut his mouth and ran towards the palace.
He also has his mother, who has always been able to resolve any problems he has encountered in the past.
He has a mother who loves him, something that bastard Nangong Sijin can never compare to!
Ke Sijin clearly wasn't going to give him that chance.
He was directly escorted by the guards of the Dali Temple, taken away at the gate of the palace, thrown into the imperial prison, and convicted.
For some reason, once he was convicted, all his staff and guards chose to abandon him.
The eldest prince was confused and unwilling to accept it. With tears in his eyes, he stared at the unclosed prison door, pushed open the jailer's door, and tried to run away!
"I didn't buy the exam questions. I need to see the Empress Dowager. Get out of my way!"
He roared, and with a strength he didn't know he had, he pushed the jailer aside and ran forward with all his might.
The prison guards, mindful of his status, dared not harm him, and for a moment, he seemed somewhat unstoppable.
The eldest prince laughed again. See? He was born noble. Even if he was ignorant and incompetent, he still had a group of people fawning over him.
These good-for-nothings don't even deserve to stop him!
He took a step and ran happily to the door, but unexpectedly—
A long sword came out horizontally from the left. His neck was cold, as if it had been slashed open, but his breathing was still normal.
His steps faltered, and the eldest prince's eyes instantly turned red. He instinctively felt that if the sword were any closer, it would sever his throat, so he didn't even dare to scream.
A moment later, behind the longsword, Si Jin's bright smiling face came into view.
The young man stepped in slowly, his left hand firmly gripping the sword. He gave him a friendly smile, and the next second—bang!
He kicked him eight meters away.
As the eldest prince leaned back and slammed into the iron prison door, he seemed to pass out, just about to faint, when he suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder.
When he realized what had happened, he discovered that Si Jin had cut off one of his hands.
Ahhhhhh!!! He was in so much pain, but he dared not scream, afraid that if he made a loud noise, his throat would rupture and he would really die and never come back to life.
He hasn't even touched the seven newly acquired beauties in the palace yet!
The eldest prince felt an unprecedented threat. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his lips moved as he threatened Si Jin: "You...you will be punished. Aren't you afraid that the Empress Dowager will find out...ah!"
As he spoke, his left leg was pierced again, and he could even hear the clear sound of bones colliding with the cold weapon.
Si Jin stood before him, looking down at him with a cold gaze, his smile growing even more captivating: "Your Highness, what are you saying? The Empress Dowager is merely a woman in the inner palace. The inner palace is forbidden from interfering in politics; otherwise, all will be executed."
"What are you doing here with the Empress Dowager? Are you trying to harm her? Let me tell you, that's impossible. I will protect the Empress Dowager!"
The surrounding jailers remained silent, unaware that Si Jin had quietly changed her self-reference.
He stood up naturally, his clothes were snow-white, seemingly modeled after Shen Linyuan's style, yet he managed to avoid getting a single drop of blood on them.
The sword tip moved down, peeling away the skin bit by bit, severing the eldest prince's Achilles tendon, and spoke gently, killing him by destroying his spirit.
"Elder brother, when it comes to killing brothers, you're the one who set the precedent, aren't you? You killed your third brother, and now that I'm sparing your life, you should be burning incense in gratitude."
The eldest prince only then realized in a daze that he had said "朕" (the imperial "I").
How dare he...
"Furthermore, once the results of the palace examination are announced, I, the top scholar, will become the emperor. I will keep you here so that you can witness firsthand how I step by step ascend to the summit, the dragon throne, a place you will never be worthy of touching in your lifetime."
