Chapter 278 The Regent's Beloved 22
Yexiao looked at the two people kneeling on the ground with a complicated expression, and his thoughts were pulled back to his previous life.
In his previous life, because of his hesitation, Ye Shang's ambition grew, and he teamed up with his own son, the third prince Ye Yi, to give him a chronic poison.
His health deteriorated day by day, and he gradually became weaker. Finally, he was driven off the throne like a stray dog and died in a dark corner.
At that time, he was thinking, how great it would have been if he hadn't had so many concerns. Although his father had left a way out for Ye Shang when he ascended the throne, Ye Shang's methods were still very immature at that time, and he was not without a chance.
Fortunately, God heard his prayers and gave him a chance to start over!
Ye Shang knelt on the ground and waited for a long time for the emperor to speak. He thought the emperor wanted to humiliate him.
He slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with resentment and hatred. Since he was going to die anyway, why should he endure the humiliation of a midnight snack?
"Oh, Yexiao, if you have the guts, just kill me. Otherwise, as long as I am still breathing, I will one day take back everything that belongs to me."
Ye Shang glared at the emperor fiercely, veins popping out on his neck, and he gritted his teeth, looking like he wanted to eat the emperor alive!
The emperor sneered, "Oh, everything that belongs to you? I wonder when this throne has belonged to you?"
How arrogant he is! He has already become a prisoner, yet he still dares to speak nonsense!
Ye Shang glared at him resentfully: "Ye Xiao, what are you so proud of? If my father hadn't passed away early, do you think you could be sitting here? When my father was still alive, he said many times that I was the most suitable person to take this position!"
When the emperor heard him mention that the late emperor no longer had the resentment and anger he had before, a smile appeared on his majestic face. After going through so many things, he no longer felt unfair because of the late emperor's partiality!
He walked up to Ye Shang step by step, bent down condescendingly, and said in a voice that only Ye Shang could hear: "What a pity... Even if the late emperor was interested in you, what would it matter? Didn't he still pass the throne to me before he died!"
The emperor's words were like a sharp knife stabbing into Ye Shang's heart, and this was what Ye Shang was most unwilling to accept!
He was so close to that position. If he was given a little more time, he would be able to sit there successfully!
The emperor stood up straight and said expressionlessly: "Come here, drag him away!"
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, several imperial guards came forward and dragged Ye Shang and Su Wan'er out of the hall like dead dogs!
Ye Shang was dragged by the Royal Guards, but his eyes were fixed on the emperor's cold face, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered.
The winner takes all!
He knew that what was shattered today was not only his dream of becoming an emperor, but also his chance to survive!
This time, Ye Xiao was determined to carry out a major purge in the imperial court. No one who participated in it could escape this reckoning. At the very least, their property would be confiscated and they would be exiled. At the worst, their entire clan would be implicated!
Ye Shang was a member of the royal family after all, so the emperor still gave him a bit of royal dignity. After announcing his crimes, he rewarded him with a cup of poisoned wine, and he died with his eyes open!
The emperor also rewarded the third prince with poisoned wine, who cried bitterly and confessed that he was just confused for a moment.
Su Wan'er was pulled into the prison van along with the Su family, and was sent to Caishikou with the enthusiastic farewell of rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs from the people!
The moment the cold knife fell, Su Wan'er shed tears of regret.
She regretted it!
Why had she been so possessed by the devil in the first place, thinking that the ancients were stupid and that she could easily seize the world if she wanted to?
If she hadn't been so obsessed with traveling through time and space and living a glorious life, and had just been an ordinary person, she would still be the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, living a simple and happy life!
If she could do it again, she would definitely behave herself...
Su Wan'er's head fell to the ground before she could finish her confession.
Su Li was standing in the crowd wearing a veil. The moment Su Wan'er's head fell to the ground, she sensed a slight fluctuation of spiritual power in the air.
She released her spiritual sense and was surprised to see that Su Wan'er's soul was still lingering in the human world. At this moment, her soul was wrapped in a soft white light and flew out in one direction.
Su Li was stunned by this scene. If she was not very sure that Su Wan'er did not know how to practice, she would have thought that she was practicing some kind of martial arts to help her be reborn!
There must be something strange about Su Wan'er!
Su Li did not immediately stop the ball of white light from taking away Su Wan'er's soul. She followed Su Wan'er not far away until she saw her soul being carried into the Princess's Mansion by the ball of white light.
Su Li became even more curious, and followed in after becoming invisible.
At this time, in the eldest princess's backyard, Princess Xinyi, who was feeding the fish by the lotus pond, suddenly fainted.
The maid waiting on the side was startled and immediately rushed forward to catch Princess Xinyi who was about to fall to the ground.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?"
"Someone, the princess has fainted! Someone come quickly!"
The little maidservant's voice was so loud that soon someone came running over in a hurry!
A group of people brought the unconscious Princess Xinyi back to the courtyard where she lived!
When Su Li arrived, he just saw the ball of white light carrying Su Wan'er's soul rushing into the center of Princess Xinyi's eyebrows!
Is he trying to take over someone else's body?
Su Li was no longer surprised, she was shocked!
Even for cultivators like them, they only have one chance to take over another's body after they reach the Golden Elixir stage. However, Su Wan'er, a mortal, once again entered someone else's body!
What exactly is that ball of white light?
Su Li curiously probed into Princess Xinyi's sea of consciousness and was surprised to find that Princess Xinyi's soul was still there!
Just fell into a deep sleep!
However, after just a few breaths, she discovered that the soul of the princess she loved had weakened a lot, while Su Wan'er's soul had become stronger.
Su Li suspected that the previous "Su Wan'er" might be the same as Princess Xinyi. She just fell into the water and became unconscious, and was eventually taken over by Su Wan'er from the 21st century. She died quietly and became Su Wan'er's nourishment!
Seeing that Princess Xinyi's soul was getting weaker and weaker, Su Li pinched a few incantations and pulled Su Wan'er's soul out of Princess Xinyi's sea of consciousness.
Su Wan'er was still sleeping, and seemed to be feeling uncomfortable, with a frown on her face and her body curled up!
The moment Su Wan'er's soul left Princess Xinyi's sea of consciousness, her brows, which had been furrowed in discomfort, relaxed and her face became visibly redder!
She only felt that the feeling of being pressed down by someone and unable to breathe had disappeared, and she had no idea that she had been on the brink of death!
The eldest princess, who was still crying, heard the court doctor say that the princess was fine and just needed to recuperate. She was so happy that she kept saying, "Amitabha, may the Bodhisattva bless you!"
