Chapter 75 Does the Emperor only have eyes for Lin Ye?
His calm and leisurely voice was obviously not loud, but it was clearly audible amid the screams in the dark cell.
It was even more terrifying than the screams in this dark prison.
After wiping the blood off his hands, he threw the handkerchief aside.
He slowly looked behind him. In this dark cell, there was a cabinet.
There are countless transparent containers in the cabinet.
Each of these containers actually contained an eyeball soaked in a secret potion.
These eyeballs stared straight ahead as if they were alive.
Anyone who enters the Privy Council's secret cell will have one eye left behind and will then be stored there to become a scenic spot in the cell.
Whenever the imperial physicians came to the Privy Council, most of them would faint from fright upon seeing this scene.
Therefore, the secret cell in the Privy Council almost became the place that the imperial physicians of the time least wanted to visit.
The prisoners who come here will be frightened when they see this scene, and they will be afraid to confess everything before the interrogation even begins.
[I don't dare to watch it anymore, it's so scary and perverted]
[Ugh, I'm going to apply to block the dark prison]
[If the hero falls into the hands of the villain, it will probably be worse than this]
[It doesn't matter. As long as the villain favors the princess, I can spoil him.]
Just at this moment another subordinate walked in quickly.
"Sir, Miss Pei just went to the princess's residence and brought those two people back."
Hearing this, Xiao Tingye's eyebrows moved slightly, and he picked up a red-hot iron in his hand. His tone was nonchalant and carried the pressure of a superior:
"Go tell Minister Pei that Miss Pei needs to be disciplined. If she says or does anything she shouldn't say or do in front of the princess again... then, I will make his daughter disappear from the capital."
"Yes!" The subordinate took the order and left.
Xiao Tingye raised his eyes, and the light from the window outside shone into the dark prison, outlining his handsome, open, yet chilling face in the dim light and shadow.
There seemed to be a cage hidden in his eyes, in which was once trapped the beast called desire, which was struggling in the mud and constantly trying to break out of the cage.
Now in this cage... the one who was replaced was her.
But the beast that once was had become a cage, trapping her with lust, violating everything about her...
There seemed to be a hint of desire in his eyes, breaking through the dusty soil and overflowing.
The more you get
The more you want.
Even want more...
It turns out that people cannot be content.
Desire was like an abyss, dragging him down continuously...
Never, never see the bottom...
Qianyuan Palace.
"Your Majesty, Princess Zhaohua is here." The eunuch reported respectfully.
As soon as the eunuch finished his report, someone came in.
"Your Majesty has summoned me. I wonder what you want to talk to me about?" Lin Zhaoyue walked in with a smile.
The emperor put down his pen and ink, looked at her, a hint of worry on his brow.
"How dare you ask me? Shouldn't you know everything clearly?"
Lin Zhaoyue knew it clearly, just as she knew that her father would summon her.
So she didn't take the initiative to enter the palace in the past two days.
Lin Zhaoyue slowly walked to the table.
The eunuch also tactfully stepped back to make room for her.
Lin Zhaoyue picked up the teacup and personally poured a cup of tea for the emperor.
"Although I have guessed a few things, your Majesty's worries should have nothing to do with me, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tea was already poured.
The emperor did not refuse Lin Zhaoyue's suggestion and picked up the teacup to moisten his throat.
"How can the Crown Prince's affairs have nothing to do with you?" The Emperor sighed. "You are his sister. Are you willing to watch him destroy himself?"
The Crown Prince's plea for Chu Yinyin has now caused dissent among all the civil and military officials in the court.
Not to mention his previous ambiguous relationship with a woman of questionable character like Chu Yinyin, and even his break with his elder sister because of it, which had already made the court consider deposing the prince.
If this continues, Lin Ye will no longer be able to be the crown prince.
He was so angry that he confined Lin Ye to the East Palace, wanting him to reflect on himself.
After finishing his tea, the emperor threw a few memorials aside and said coldly, "Look for yourself, these are all accusations against you."
Lin Zhaoyue raised her eyebrows.
Pick up those folders.
At a glance, everyone was criticizing her for not disciplining her children properly as the eldest sister, and for allowing the prince to have an affair with Chu Yinyin.
She was very familiar with several of the names, as they were old ministers who had always been dissatisfied with her power.
These old ministers hold important positions in the court and are very supportive of the prince.
The conservatives had repeatedly rebuked her for being in power and said that all power in her hands should be handed over to the prince as soon as possible.
He also repeatedly complained that he should not be too close to the crown prince, fearing that he would undermine the crown prince.
Now he is accusing me of not caring about the prince.
How shameless.
"Didn't everyone want me to stay away from the prince at the beginning? Now they are scolding me again. Father, do you think it is appropriate to let such shameless old ministers stay in the court?" Lin Zhaoyue said in a calm voice.
Hearing Lin Zhaoyue's words, the emperor frowned, "They are all elders in the court. You'd better not target them."
He knew his daughter well, and she was probably thinking of taking action against these old ministers.
Lin Zhaoyue said nothing, but raised her eyebrows slightly.
"The Crown Prince has lost his moral integrity, and now everyone in the court, even the common people, is talking about it. Father, like the other court officials, feels that the Crown Prince's behavior is his responsibility, isn't it?"
The emperor's expression suddenly turned ugly.
He had indeed thought about it, but not much.
"He's your biological brother, and he always listens to you. I just think that if you can take good care of him, maybe he can turn over a new leaf and won't do such outrageous things in the future."
[Alas, the emperor just doesn't want to depose the crown prince because Lin Ye and the princess are born to the same mother, and he has his own selfish motives.]
[The main reason is that the emperor father was too narrow-minded. He didn't expect that in addition to the crown prince, the princess could also inherit the throne.]
In the feudal era, when there were male heirs, it was indeed difficult to imagine that a daughter could inherit the throne.
[Don't worry about your son. Just make the princess an imperial concubine. The second male lead will give the kingdom to the female lead in the future. By then, you won't be able to close your coffin properly.]
"Do you really want all your efforts over the years to go to waste? Zhaoyue, I have always doted on you, but you'd better think this through carefully!"
He was indeed very disappointed with Lin Ye, and even had the idea of deposing the crown prince.
Especially on the night of the palace banquet, he really wanted to beat that kid to death.
He actually treated his sister like this for a woman like that.
It's simply treasonous!
But after deposing the crown prince, he had no choice but to appoint another prince as the crown prince.
Apart from Lin Ye, there is no other suitable candidate.
Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips, "Father, have you forgotten what I said? Even if he is my own brother, I can give him up."
"I have indeed protected him these years, but if I raise an ungrateful person who will turn against me, why would I do such a stupid thing?"
The emperor's expression was also somewhat gloomy, and he was a little bit incredulous. "Do you really want your brother to step down from this position?!"
Lin Zhaoyue had already slowly walked down, turned around and saluted the emperor very respectfully.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to discuss the Crown Prince's affairs with me in the future."
"The Crown Prince is capable of breaking up with his own sister for a woman, disregarding right and wrong, and disregarding propriety, law, and morality. If he were to become emperor someday, has your Majesty ever considered... that the country would be destroyed in his hands?"
"Then have you ever thought that if the crown prince is not him, then who could be the crown prince?!" The emperor was a little annoyed and his tone became a little heavier.
Lin Zhaoyue slowly raised her drooping head, but in this moment her cold and calm eyes suddenly revealed a sharp edge.
"In the eyes of the emperor, is there only Lin Ye?"
At this moment, the emperor's expression was as if he was hit by the sharp edge that was approaching him, and his eyes became uncertain and shocked.
[What the hell does the princess mean by that? ? ]
【Blind guess that the princess will support another brother?】
[But this look makes my scalp tingle! ! Why do I feel like the princess is becoming more and more like an empress! ]
[Goosebumps, everyone...]
The emperor stared at Lin Zhaoyue for a long time, as if he was confirming something.
However, Lin Zhaoyue slowly lowered her eyes, naturally hiding the sharp edge she had just shown.
