Chapter 360 Interrogation
Prince Zhao continued, "Your Highness, you have almost no support now. How can you maintain your position as Crown Prince?"
"It would be better to be decent and give up the throne of Crown Prince. Perhaps you can live a few more years like your uncle, safe and sound, and not lose your life. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it."
Huo Yuchen remained calm and composed as usual.
He said expressionlessly, "Then who should the throne be given to? Prince Zhao? Prince Duan? Prince Qi? Or one of the other sons of my uncle?"
After hearing this, King Zhao's expression suddenly changed, and he looked terrified.
Could it be that Huo Yuchen already knew their plans and calculations?
But he immediately denied his idea.
The things he did were so secretive that no one could detect them.
Maybe Huo Yuchen was just testing him.
This kid is so cunning that I almost fell into the trap he set.
Thinking of this, King Zhao calmed himself down and hid his emotions well.
He spoke again, "Although your maternal family was extremely powerful in the past, you will not live long!"
"Although your health has improved slightly, the power of your maternal family has almost completely collapsed, and it is simply unable to support you to sit firmly on the throne of Crown Prince."
"The most important point is that Emperor Wu of Qin has always been wary of Queen Wei's family. Not only has he not shown you any favors, he has also been deliberately suppressing you..."
"How many people would truly support a Crown Prince who has no favor, no power, and is extremely weak? There is absolutely no way you can hold on to the throne of Crown Prince."
When saying this, King Zhao's tone was arrogant and confident.
It was almost thought that his few words had sentenced Huo Yuchen to death.
Huo Yuchen didn't take King Zhao's nonsense to heart at all. The expression on his face was surprisingly calm, but the aura of a superior was extremely terrifying.
How could he expose the powerful force in his hands and let this old fool know about it?
His uncle had been secretly helping him stabilize the army's morale, and Bai Wuji was now safe and sound. Furthermore, the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, and the Minister of Revenue's Mansion...
These forces are his strong backing. Now, among all the princes, no one can compete with him.
As for his father's favor, he didn't care about it at all.
Huo Yuchen gazed at King Zhao with pity. Even if he wanted to strike this old fool, now was not the time. Perhaps, when he passed away, he could kindly reveal a little to him so that he could die in peace...
Thinking of this, Huo Yuchen showed a cruel and cold smile on his face, and the intimidating aura around him suppressed the people around him into silence.
At this moment, a deafening roar was heard from outside the cell, followed by several footsteps of varying lengths, and the faint sound of a wheelchair turning in between.
Huo Yuchen knew that Bai Wuji, Baili Qingyun and Huo Qing had arrived.
Perhaps, it’s time for the show to officially begin.
Two huge surprises appeared at the same time. I wonder if his uncle, the emperor, can bear it?
A deep and rich voice came from far away and stopped abruptly when it was about to reach the cell door.
When King Zhao saw the three tall figures at the door, he couldn't help but scream, "How...how is this possible?"
In front of him, Huo Qing was sitting in a wheelchair, but his complexion had become much rosier and he no longer looked as thin as before. It was obvious that he was slowly recovering.
You have to know that when Huo Qing was rescued, his face looked like a skeleton, with only bones left in his body. He was still unconscious, and even his breathing was extremely weak.
But now he appeared alive in front of King Zhao. How could he not be visually shocked?
There was another person who stood there with a handsome appearance and an astonishing aura. His appearance shocked King Zhao so much that he was stunned and speechless.
Bai Wuji was seen standing tall and straight with high spirits and grace, his two slender legs able to walk freely.
How could he still be the sick person who relied entirely on a wheelchair to walk?
Didn’t they say that his legs were crippled by poison?
How is this possible?
He had heard the secret guards come to report many times that Bai Wuji's body was covered with sores, his muscles were atrophied, and he was unable to move.
Later, after Baili Qingyun tried every possible way to treat him, he was finally saved from the brink of death.
There were many imperial doctors in the palace who had taken Bai Wuji's pulse, and almost all of them made the unanimous judgment that Bai Wuji would never be able to stand up again in his lifetime.
For the rest of his life, he could only rely on a wheelchair and survive in a weak state.
However, Bai Wuji has now completely recovered from the poison and can walk freely.
This is simply incredible.
"Bai...Bai Wuji, has your poison been completely removed? Have you fully recovered?" King Zhao asked in a trembling voice of disbelief.
Bai Wuji guessed that he would not believe it easily, and no one would believe that he could recover completely.
If all this had not happened to him, he would probably find it hard to believe.
Bai Wuji was too lazy to waste time explaining himself. He was not vague at all. He mobilized his internal energy in his hands and struck the ground beneath his feet hard.
A clear palm print appeared on the bumpy stone ground beneath him. The ground shook violently and a cloud of dust rose slightly.
Baili Qingyun coughed twice and began to complain.
"General Bai, I know you are a skilled martial artist. Even if you have recovered, there is no need to scare me like this, right? That sound almost deafened me..."
Huo Qing also started joking.
"Seeing that his martial arts skills have fully recovered, I am even more confident about his future recovery."
"When the time comes, we brothers will go to the battlefield together to fight and kill the enemy. We will kill all the barbarians and drive them all back to their homes in the wilderness."
The brothers' cheerful laughter echoed in the cell.
They completely ignored King Zhao, as if he were an invisible ball of air.
When Prince Zhao saw Bai Wuji's move, he knew that all his and Prince Duan's plans had failed.
With Bai Wuji, thousands of soldiers will be willing to support Huo Yuchen. With Bai Wuji as a strong backing, the generals in the army will definitely respond to his call, and no one will dare to have any dissenting thoughts.
Because Bai Wuji and Wei Zixing are the two living signs of the Qin State, and their strength is unmatched.
