After saying that, Shen Wangshu slowly took out the abdication edict from his sleeve and shook it in front of the old emperor.
The old emperor's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes were full of shock.
"You...you all want me to die?"
Shen Wangshu ignored the old emperor and simply spread out the imperial edict in his hand. "I have already written this abdication edict for the emperor. Now, I am waiting for you to affix the imperial seal."
Looking at the abdication edict, the old emperor's expression changed again and again, and his eyes were filled with pain.
He looked at Shen Wangshu, his eyes filled with sadness, "Why... why are you all like this... why do you treat me like this?"
Shen Wangshu curled his lips and chuckled, "Why? Your Majesty, shouldn't you reflect on what you have done over the years?"
Looking at the undisguised disgust and hatred in Shen Wangshu's eyes, the old emperor suddenly remembered Shen Wangshu in the past. Although Shen Wangshu didn't like him at the time, there was still fear and respect in his eyes.
But what about Shen Wangshu now?
Her eyes were full of hatred towards him, and even contained a hint of sarcasm.
He once thought that Shen Wangshu really loved him, but now he thinks that he was just deceiving himself.
After a long while, he finally said in a hoarse voice, "I ask myself, I have nothing to owe you, why did you betray me?"
Chen Wangshu sneered, "Your Majesty is truly a forgetful person. Do you still remember how you treated me in the past? If your Majesty hadn't taken a fancy to his own daughter-in-law, and hadn't hesitated to forcibly seize her and bear the infamy of taking her into the palace, how could I have fallen into this situation now?"
The old emperor was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "But that's all in the past. Why won't you let it go? I really love you..."
"Let go? Love me?"
Chen Wangshu snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, you sound so easy. Can we really forget those humiliating past events? And if Your Majesty truly loved me, why would you force me into such a desperate situation? Why would you keep me under house arrest and make me the talk of the people of the capital?"
"Your Majesty, do you know that what I desire is not the wealth and splendor of a canary? Nor is it that I can only earn your dignity by wagging my tail and begging for mercy!"
Hearing Shen Wangshu's words, the old emperor didn't know what to say, and just stared at her in a daze.
Shen Wangshu didn't waste any more words with the old emperor, "Since the emperor is unwilling to hand over the jade seal, then I have no choice but to do it myself."
After saying that, he winked at Lianzhi.
Lianzhi understood and immediately stepped forward to search for the imperial seal.
But the old emperor obviously disagreed. He pushed Lian Zhi away and said, "Get out! Why should I give you my things?"
But he suddenly found that his whole body was weak and he had no strength at all. Pushing on Lianzhi was like punching cotton.
He even stumbled and rolled off the bed because of his unstable center of gravity.
Lianzhi was startled and subconsciously took a big step back. His hands were shaking because of nervousness.
"My Lady, this..."
"What are you afraid of? The emperor accidentally fell down, what does it have to do with you? Keep going!"
Shen Wangshu waved his hand.
Seeing her so calm, even with a hint of smile on her lips, Lian Zhi suddenly felt that the empress in front of him seemed a little unfamiliar.
But she also understood in her heart that the Empress had been holding on all these years. If she didn't have that hatred in her heart, it would have disappeared long ago.
Thinking of this, Lianzhi took a deep breath, as if he had made some important decision.
"Yes, I know what to do."
After saying that, Lianzhi quickly approached the dragon bed and bent down to search for the jade seal.
The old emperor looked at her actions, frowned instantly, and fell to the ground and shouted, "How dare you! How dare you do this to my things?!"
Lianzhi paused in her movements after being yelled at by the old emperor, but it was only for a moment before she continued searching.
"Get out! Get out! Didn't you hear what I said?"
…
The old emperor was so anxious that his face turned red and his neck became thick, as he was about to get his things taken away by others. But he was determined to get them back even if he had to crawl.
However, he was easily subdued by a pretty young palace maid beside Shen Wangshu.
The young palace maid looked young and thin, but she was extremely cruel.
"How dare you! Let me go! Let me go!"
Shen Wangshu looked at the old emperor's embarrassed appearance and felt happy.
She slowly walked towards the old emperor, stopped in front of him, and looked down at him condescendingly. "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, I didn't want to sleep with you for the first time, and you humiliated me in this way. Now, I am just asking for justice."
Although the original owner is gone, the memory is still fresh in this body.
The night she was sent to the palace, she was tied up on the bed and no matter how much she begged for mercy, it was useless.
Hearing this, the old emperor's heart trembled. He had indeed acted too ruthlessly back then.
But that was also because he liked Shen Wangshu and wanted to get her so much that he would not hesitate to use force.
But I didn't expect that she had really been holding a grudge against him in her heart for so long...
But he tried so hard to make up for it later, but she was still not satisfied. Now she has even learned his tricks and is trying to usurp the throne!
...
"You won't succeed. My things are mine forever. No one can take them away!"
The old emperor shouted and struggled hard, trying to break free from the restraints, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free and was tied up even tighter.
