Chapter 397 Prince Yong has passed away

"You, you, you...you rebellious son!"

Hearing that his own son dared to tell him to get out, King Yong was so angry that his face turned red and his hair stood on end.

"Why did I work so hard? Isn't it all for you and our descendants? You don't make any progress and don't even help me, but you still complain. Tell me to get out of here. You're just pissing me off to death!"

Xiao Yi looked at him coldly, perhaps because he was extremely disappointed, he did not show any emotion at all after hearing these words, and even sneered.

"For me? You are so shameless. You and your group of male favorites are planning to rebel every day, isn't it because you are unwilling to accept it? You are obviously the eldest son, but the emperor does not make you the crown prince. You are unwilling and resentful, so you want to seize power and usurp the throne every day. If you really want to do it for me, have you ever asked me whether I really need what you call "for my own good"?"

Prince Yong thought he was acting on impulse and was just speaking in anger. "Who wouldn't want the throne of the world? Don't you want to be the emperor, second only to the emperor and above all others?"

"I don't want it..." Xiao Yi spat out a mouthful of blood, his voice choking, "I don't want any throne, I just want my mother to come back..."

Over the years, he has lain in the arms of so many women, but why is none of them as warm as his mother's?

A small figure always appeared in front of his eyes, white, plump and soft, chasing him and calling him brother.

Fortunately, he will be reunited with them soon.

Prince Yong was still chattering, "Mother, mother, you just can't forget her, right? A real man, one who accomplishes great things, doesn't mind trivial matters. If you can't even forget such a small matter, how can you be qualified to be my son?"

So, in his eyes, his mother's death was just a trivial matter?

So in his heart, I am not qualified to be his son?

That would be a bad idea, Xiao Yi thought.

Anyway, he didn't want to stay in this rotten world anymore...

"Did you hear me? Don't pretend to be dead..." As Prince Yong spoke, he felt something was getting more and more wrong. He quickly reached out to smell his breath, and a chill instantly rose from under his feet.

"Yier, don't scare father... father didn't mean to yell at you..."

Too many things happened today. The plan that had been deployed for many years was ruined overnight. He was restless and irritable, with a rage pent up in his heart, so he couldn't control his temper even when speaking.

But Xiao Yi was his only son after all. How could he bear to let him die?

"Yier, Yier, wake up, wake up!"

He held Xiao Yi's lifeless body in his arms and shook it desperately.

Upon seeing this, the court doctor hurried to invite Yi Ziyan, "Mr. Yi, please persuade the prince. This dead man cannot be resurrected. The prince must be buried first!"

Yi Ziyan also knew that it was not a good idea for King Yong to hold a corpse all the time, so after hesitating for a moment, he walked in.

He reached out and hugged Prince Yong from behind, "Prince, please accept my condolences. I'm sure the prince's spirit in heaven wouldn't want to see you so sad..."

Before he could finish his words, he was thrown away by King Yong, "Come here, Yi Ziyan is plotting to kill the prince, arrest him for me!"

After hearing this, Yi Ziyan was stunned.

Although he couldn't see, just by listening to these cold words, he could imagine how resentful the look in Prince Yong's eyes was when he was looking at him.

But he still called out, "My Lord, are you really going to be so heartless?"

"I did kill the prince, but I told you, I thought he was an assassin and wanted to kill you, so I killed him!"

"Over the years, I knew that our relationship was not open to the public, but I said nothing and hid behind you silently."

"I will kill those who are inconvenient for you to kill, and I will do those things that are inconvenient for you to do. I am willing to do anything for you..."

He did so much, and this is the result?

King Yong almost gritted his teeth and said, "But you can't give me a son!"

Not only was she unable to have children, but she also lost her only offspring.

What hope does he have now?

Yi Ziyan opened his mouth in astonishment, unable to refute.

It turns out that in his heart, his son is the most important.

What then are all those pledges I made to myself?

When Yi Ziyan was dragged to the dungeon by the palace soldiers, he didn't even struggle.

The dungeon was filled with the stench of decay.

Many prisoners were imprisoned here, and many of them were tortured to death by Yi Ziyan.

Now, he has become one of them...

The next morning.

As soon as the palace gate opened, a memorial was delivered to the palace.

Xiao Bicheng opened it and took a look, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha, this is really retribution, Prince Yong's uncle has done so many evil things, now it's finally his turn!"

Bai Yingxue came in holding the child and asked with a smile, "What good thing happened that makes the prince so happy?"

Walking over and taking his fat son, Xiao Bicheng teased him while saying, "This morning, Prince Yong's Mansion sent a memorial to the palace for funeral inquiries, saying that their Prince Yong's Mansion had an acute illness and died suddenly."

"Why is it so sudden?" Bai Yingxue felt a little strange. "Could it be that Prince Yong is playing some tricks to escape from the capital and join the Xichuan Army?"

"Smile, come on, smile..." Xiao Bicheng made faces at the kid while saying, "No, the imperial guards came to report last night, saying that something seemed to have happened to Prince Yong, and he wanted to find a doctor. After being rejected, he found a palace doctor to treat him. I'm afraid something really happened."

After all, Xiao Yi was the only son of Prince Yong's family. No matter what Prince Yong did, he would not curse his own son's death.

Bai Yingxue waved her hands and asked the palace servants to leave. "What does the Crown Prince plan to do?"

Raising his eyes nonchalantly, Xiao Bicheng said, "The Prince Yong's Mansion asked the Clan House to send someone to take care of the funeral, and I will naturally approve it."

After all, only Duke Zheng has been dealt with, and Prince Yong is imprisoned in the name of protection. In theory, he is still the prince of Daye.

The reason why he is still kept here is, firstly, to stabilize some officials of Prince Yong's party in the capital, and secondly, to wait for Yang Lie to suppress the Xichuan Army.

As long as the Xichuan Army can't get up, Prince Yong will be of no use.

"By the way, how is the talent show you've been organizing going?" After Xiao Bicheng had enough of entertaining the child, he looked up and asked Bai Yingxue.

Now that Prince Yong's palace is about to fall, he can take advantage of the opportunity of selecting talents to fill the Eastern Palace. Not only can he consolidate some of his important officials, but he can also give some officials of Prince Yong's party a chance to surrender.

When talking about this, Bai Yingxue kept smiling, "It's almost arranged. I'll bring you the shortlist in two days."

Xiao Bicheng reached out and stroked her cheek with satisfaction, "Xue'er, you are really becoming more and more sensible."

"Your Highness, you are too flattering. This is what Xue'er should have done." Bai Yingxue lowered her head shyly, suppressing the hatred in her heart.

Oh, you are already a eunuch, yet you still want to harm those women.

But what does this have to do with her?

Those women will never have children anyway.

As long as she has the royal grandson in her hands, no one can affect her status.
