Chapter 906 Past Life 14
The emperor carefully wiped the dragon throne, which he had sat on for over twenty years, observing it closely for the first time.
After a century of history, the dragon throne remains as vibrant as ever, unlike them, whose people have changed from generation to generation.
"His Majesty!"
The old eunuch looked at the emperor and felt a strange sensation rising in his heart upon seeing his behavior.
Upon hearing this, the emperor did not stop what he was doing. He continued until he had circled the dragon throne once before slowly sitting down.
"Have they arrived yet?"
The emperor was naturally asking about Yun Yichen, who had stormed in. Now the entire palace was in his hands, and the emperor was waiting for him there.
"Your Majesty, we have arrived outside the palace."
No sooner had the guards finished speaking than a commotion erupted, followed by a troop of soldiers rushing in.
The emperor did not give any orders, but the guards stationed in the palace did not need anyone's instructions and all stood in front of the emperor.
They were all royal guards, born to protect the royal family. Now that Yun Yichen had stormed in, they naturally had to do everything in their power to protect the emperor, even knowing that they themselves were in grave danger.
But as long as one of them remains, it's impossible for anyone to get past them.
Compared to the fierce battles outside, the real showdown between masters took place inside the main hall. Yun Yichen had anticipated this situation, so he brought along the bodyguards he had trained himself.
The two sides faced each other and immediately clashed. Yun Yichen and the emperor stared at each other, neither of them uttering a word.
As time passed, both sides suffered casualties, but due to the superior numbers, Yun Yichen's side was clearly in a better position.
After a long and chaotic battle, coupled with the enemy's deliberate rotations to wear them down, the guards gradually began to weaken.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yun Yichen's men wiped out the entire enemy force.
"So? Now you're all alone. Are you going to die on your own, or do you want me to help you?"
Yun Yichen's voice carried far in the empty hall. The emperor looked at him and saw no smugness on his face despite having won.
"You have achieved your goal."
The emperor spoke slowly, but Yun Yichen shook his head.
"No, I haven't achieved my goal yet. Killing you is just one of my wishes. Besides you, there's the Crown Prince, the Empress, and all those who harmed the Gu family and Shushu. You should all die."
Yun Yichen spoke the most terrifying words in the calmest tone.
The emperor had tried every means to get the crown prince to leave, and now that he heard Yun Yichen hated him so much, he couldn't help but worry about Lu Youming.
Now that his children are all gone, what will happen if something happens to the crown prince?
The royal family cannot be without an heir; the Lu family must rise again!
How could the emperor's thoughts escape Yun Yichen's eyes? Seeing the worry in his eyes, Yun Yichen finally smiled.
"I suppose Your Majesty is unaware of this! In fact, you have more than just Lu Youming as your son. There is also Xu Yunzhi, the new emperor of Jin who has just ascended the throne. He is also your son."
Yun Yichen's words were so shocking that the emperor's eyes widened instantly.
"What did you say?"
Seeing the emperor's expression, Yun Yichen deliberately said, "Your Majesty, don't you know? You've met the Emperor Jin before. I thought Your Majesty had recognized him as your son."
Yun Yichen added fuel to the fire, and the emperor could no longer sit on the dragon throne.
He stood up slightly, looked at Yun Yichen below him, and questioned, "What exactly is going on?"
Although he wanted to say that Yun Yichen was deliberately trying to anger him, the emperor gradually began to believe it when he thought of Xu Yunzhi's appearance.
Yun Yichen naturally wouldn't let him die without knowing the truth, so he revealed the fact that the eldest son of the Gu family and Xu Yunzhi were twins, and both were born to Consort Yun.
When the emperor heard these words, his face contorted in pain.
"You mean Gu Jin lied to me!"
Thinking of Gu Jin's past relationship with the seventh prince, Bai Xu, the emperor's eyes almost welled up with tears.
But this is for the best. At least even if he dies now, his descendants can still become the rulers of a country.
The emperor quickly regained his composure, and Yun Yichen found his behavior utterly shameless.
But he couldn't do anything about the emperor's idea, because Xu Yunzhi was indeed his and Consort Yun's son.
In their previous life, the Gu family was completely wiped out. How could Yun Yichen and Xu Yunzhi have known that their son was actually from the lineage of the Seventh Prince?
Although they all share the surname Lu, they are not from the heartless imperial lineage.
Yun Yichen was in a bad mood and naturally didn't want to waste any more words with the emperor. He hadn't come to reminisce with him.
Now that the palace is in his hands, it's time for him to go see his parents and relatives and apologize to them. Yun Yichen raised his hand, and Zhong Lin raised his long sword and thrust it towards the emperor. With a soft thud, the sword pierced the old eunuch's body instead.
"You, how could you?"
Neither the emperor nor Yun Yichen expected the old eunuch to step forward and block the sword.
"Your Majesty, I am sorry, but I have no regrets. In the next life, I will serve you again."
After the old eunuch finished speaking, his head lolled to the side and he breathed his last.
The emperor had previously said that the old eunuch was nothing but a servant and not worthy of the title, but seeing him actually die, the emperor was still somewhat saddened.
After all, they've been by my side for years. Even if it's just a cat or dog, I'd be familiar with them, let alone a person.
"Now that you're dead, don't look for me in your next life. Find a better family to take care of you!"
As the saying goes, a dying man's words are kind. Looking at the old eunuch's corpse, the emperor ultimately showed him mercy.
When she turned around again, Yun Yichen was already standing in front of her.
"After all, you are an elder. I didn't want to do it myself, but it seems fate has decreed it. So, I, your nephew, will see you off!"
Yun Yichen did not use a sword, but instead inserted a silver needle into the emperor's body. Then the emperor fell straight backward and lay on his dragon throne.
After dealing with the emperor, Yun Yichen looked at Zhong Lin and asked, "Where is the Crown Prince?"
Zhong Lin clasped his hands in a fist salute: "The Crown Prince has been captured by the Imperial Household Department and is awaiting Your Majesty's decision."
Yun Yichen had always had people planted in the palace. The emperor changed his clothes with Lu Youming one night and no one could find him. As it turned out, Yun Yichen's years of planning had not been in vain.
At least within the palace, finding someone is not difficult.
"Take him to the Empress's bedchamber."
Yun Yichen spoke calmly, but Zhong Lin knew that his master was probably about to unleash a major move.
Yun Yichen led his men to the inner palace, which was already in chaos. The young women, especially those of low status, were all afraid of being implicated and were preparing to run away with the money they had saved over the years.
