Chapter 245 Even the world is not enough to compare with my Qingqing
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingshi, who was originally resting quietly with his eyes closed, couldn't help but open his eyes.
He was standing right in front of the emperor's throne, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in the boy's eyes.
Even now, the dog emperor is still thinking about these things.
He did this just to see Xiao Jiwu struggle and suffer, and finally make a decision, to prove that interests are ultimately above everything else, and to prove that he is right.
And seeing Xiao Jiwu suffer seemed to satisfy his malice.
Unfortunately, Xiao Jiwu would never do that. He knew better than anyone what kind of person his partner was.
Xiao Jiwu was the one who even sacrificed her love for him.
There are some things that the Dog Emperor will probably never understand...
As for Xiao Jiwu, his eyes darkened the moment he heard the voice, and he spoke coldly to the emperor: "Father, can't you see the current situation clearly? It is you who has no choice now, not me."
His eyes were filled with mockery, and his voice was terrifyingly cold. "So what if I came to the throne illegitimately? If Your Majesty wishes to decree this, I will be the Crown Prince. If Your Majesty does not, tomorrow, I will ascend the throne."
Xiao Lingan was horrified when he heard the sound. He had obviously not expected this result. He immediately frowned in anger and coughed for a while, his face flushed red: "Cough cough, you rebellious son, cough cough... cough cough..."
"How dare you! You don't hold the position legitimately, cough cough... If you hold the position illegitimately, how can the court officials obey you, and how can the people of this world--"
He was once a prince. Even today, it is obvious which is more important, the whole world or a little pet that can be replaced at will. But Xiao Jiwu actually, actually!
Before Xiao Lingan could finish, Xiao Jiwu interrupted him with a cold voice, "If I hadn't considered this, why would I have kept you here today? And please don't blame me for being cruel. This is all because of what you taught me. If a father can kill his son, why can't a son kill his father?"
"Besides, there's no such thing as blood ties in the royal family. The throne beneath my father has long been piled with corpses and blood. He doesn't need a little blood from me."
"There is only one thing that makes me different from you, my father. To me, even the whole world is not enough to compare with my Qingqing."
"As for whether he obtained the position legitimately, anyone who dares to discuss it can be killed. It will only cause a little trouble."
Hearing this, Xiao Lingan stood up trembling with anger, pointing his finger at Xiao Jiwu viciously: "You, you, you, rebellious son——"
Xiao Jiwu was too lazy to listen any further. He interrupted Xiao Lingan again, "Your Majesty, you should know that I have never had much patience. If a calamity were to befall me, even if it meant patricide, people would simply say 'it's fate'. And your Majesty, do you think I would care about being called a calamity? I've long been accustomed to it. Please don't be ungrateful."
When Yun Qingshi heard this, he immediately became unhappy.
Why is Xiao Yunqi calling himself a disaster star? He's clearly not!
Yun Qingshi really wanted to correct Xiao Jiwu's words, but unfortunately he couldn't move at all, so he had to give up and planned to talk to him after returning.
Xiao Jiwu continued to ask the emperor, "So, has Your Majesty made a decision? Whether you will live out your life in peace or die today, it all depends on Your Majesty's decision."
Yun Qingshi's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Good thing he's dead! The dog emperor should have died long ago!
Xiao Ling'an gradually calmed down at this time. Hearing this, he looked outside the hall again. Knowing that he had lost his power, he closed his eyes and finally made a decision.
He then snorted coldly and sat back on the throne and ordered Liu Kanghe: "Liu Kanghe, prepare the writing brush and ink."
Liu Kanghe was relieved when he heard this and quickly stepped forward to serve: "Yes."
Seeing this, Yun Qingshi, who was sitting on the chair, felt relieved but even a little bit couldn't believe this fact.
He didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Not only was he safe and sound, but Xiao Jiwu also became the crown prince so smoothly.
It was so smooth that he became the crown prince without much bloodshed.
These are two completely different paths from what is written in the book.
He also understood why Xiao Jiwu did not directly ask the emperor to write the decree of succession. If he had written the decree directly, it would definitely have caused a lot of discussion and countless rumors. In this way, if he became the crown prince first, it would be legitimate, and even if people talked about it, they would not dare to say anything.
The road ahead will be much smoother, and since the Dog Emperor values his life so much, it is inevitable that he will agree to Xiao Jiwu's request.
Regardless, this is undoubtedly a good result.
Thinking of this, Yun Qingshi became much more energetic, and his eyes were shining.
At the same time, Xiao Jiwu seemed to have sensed something and took the boy's hand to comfort him.
Xiao Jiwu felt relieved only after the emperor had written the edict of enthronement and read it personally.
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory needs to select an auspicious day to officially enthrone the crown prince.
He didn't want to waste any more time, so he told Ying San to put away the imperial edict. He then gently and carefully picked up Yun Qingshi from the chair and walked out.
When they reached the front of the palace, Xiao Jiwu ordered Yingyi, "Yingyi, you stay here and find out who sent the letter to our father. Capture that person. Anyone who dares to harm Eleven will be punished by death."
Ying Yi quickly responded: "I obey your orders!"
Glancing at the people outside, Xiao Jiwu thought for a moment before leaning closer to Yun Qingshi and asking gently, "Qingqing, who gave you the muscle softening powder just now? Is he here now?"
After asking, Xiao Jiwu gently adjusted the way he held the young man so that Yun Qingshi could see the scene in front of the hall clearly.
When Yun Qingshi heard the voice, he immediately opened his eyes wide and looked around.
That official Zhang not only forced him to drink the muscle softening powder, he also almost hurt Changshun, and wanted to arrest other people in the palace and put them in jail!
Yun Qingshi is not a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied. He has always held a grudge, and he still holds a grudge now.
Soon, Yun Qingshi found Zhang Li who was being escorted by two soldiers in the crowd.
However, it seemed that after a while, the effect of the medicine had lessened, his fingers could move slightly, and his eyes were more flexible than before.
Yun Qingshi then tried to make some noise to signal Xiao Jiwu.
Xiao Jiwu understood immediately, and his sharp eyes fell on Zhang Li.
Zhang Li, who had just held onto a glimmer of hope, was now completely terrified. He kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Prince Yi, spare my life. I know I was wrong. I was blind and didn't recognize a great man. Please forgive me this time. I beg Your Highness..."
Yun Qingshi was speechless. After hearing this, he snorted in his heart: Bah, why didn’t you think of this moment when you forced him to drink the muscle softening powder? Why didn’t you know to leave him a way out when you forced Changshun? Now you know to beg for mercy, but it’s too late!
Yun Qingshi was too lazy to pay attention and simply chose to close his eyes.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiwu left a few words lightly: "Ying Yi, kill him."
