Chapter 315: Storm is Coming



"Your Majesty!"

Huang Pei was so frightened when he saw this scene that he almost lost his soul!

"Quick, quick, quick! Call the imperial physician!"

Huang Pei shouted at Dou Wu who was standing beside him, and took out the special silk handkerchief used by Emperor Yong from his bosom, wanting to wipe the bloody chin for Emperor Yong.

At this time, Emperor Yong raised his hand to stop Huang Pei.

He casually raised his sleeve to wipe away the bloodstain, his chest heaving violently, and when he raised his eyes again, they were red as if he wanted to eat someone.

"Ask, Huang Pei, ask me clearly!"

Emperor Yong's voice was extremely hoarse and his eyes were fixed on Liu Fuzi.

Huang Pei knew Emperor Yong well. If he didn't ask clearly at this time, it would be impossible for Emperor Yong to see the imperial physician.

He did not dare to delay and quickly helped Emperor Yong to sit on a chair beside him. Then he looked at Liu Fuzi with a sullen face and said sternly:

"Six Blessed Son, the Emperor is here, please tell us quickly! You said you heard it from Zhou Bo, when and where did you hear it? And what evidence do you have?"

Liu Fuzi had already recited the "confession" thousands of times in his mind, but now he pretended to be terrified and said haltingly:

"Yes...it was last year. I remember it very clearly. It was March 18th last year."

"I was alone in the palace. Late at night, I thought of my parents at home. I couldn't sleep, so I went to the back garden. I didn't expect to see a fire in the cracks of the rockery!"

"I know the rules. No fire can be lit in the palace without permission. If there is a fire, it will be a capital crime!"

"So...so I hurried over, but I didn't expect to hear a low whimpering sound."

"My scalp went numb. I never thought that someone was secretly offering sacrifices in the palace! I was close at the time and I overheard it accidentally."

At this point, Liu Fuzi burst into tears, "Slave...slave really doesn't want to listen, slave doesn't want to die yet!"

"Your servant...Your servant recognized that voice as that of Zhou Bo. I don't know who Zhou Bo was offering sacrifices to, and he said he hoped that he could go down and reunite with the princess."

When Emperor Yong heard this, he grabbed the armchair with both hands, and then he heard Liu Fuzi continue to say:

"Uncle Zhou said he would take good care of His Highness, but it's a pity that His Highness and that person didn't get to see each other for the last time."

"When I heard this, I knew something was wrong. I wanted to leave, but I was afraid of making any noise and getting discovered, so I could only continue hiding where I was."

"Then...then I heard Zhou Bo say...he said he couldn't tell His Highness the truth. If His Highness knew that his biological father had died tragically, he would definitely collapse!"

"And then... and then kept mumbling, saying sorry, Jaeyoung."

"I was struck by lightning at that time, because the emperor had just executed a spy from the northern country, Di Zaiying. The news spread throughout the palace, and I heard about it that afternoon!"

"The truth is... it is just like that. I have never concealed anything. Please spare my life, Your Majesty!"

Liu Fuzi was already crying bitterly, shouting for mercy.

Huang Pei listened to Liu Fuzi's very convincing words. Although he didn't know whether he had heard it with his own ears, he was afraid that Zhou Bomi's telling the truth during the sacrifice was true!

His Majesty has been brooding over the old relationship between Concubine Yu and Di Zaiying, and Zhou Bo is a subordinate that the Concubine can use, so I'm afraid His Majesty will believe it about 70% now!

Thinking of this, Huang Pei hurriedly turned to Emperor Yong, only to see that Emperor Yong's face was turning red and white, and it looked very wrong.

Huang Pei was extremely frightened and knelt before Emperor Yong. He patted himself and said:

"Your Majesty, if you are holding back your anger, and you beat or scold me, please do not hurt yourself!"

"Your Majesty, please vent your anger on me. I am a tough, sturdy and humble person. I am very resistant to beatings, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yong lowered his eyes and looked at Huang Pei, who was in tears. The anger that was surging in his heart and almost bursting suddenly subsided.

He suddenly bent down, covered his mouth and coughed heavily several times. When he looked up again, his palms were already blood red.

"Your Majesty!"

Huang Pei's face was distorted. Seeing Emperor Yong vomit blood twice, his heart ached and he wished he could take his place.

Emperor Yong looked at the blood-red palm of his hand and raised his lips faintly. A low laugh came out from between his lips and teeth. Then he raised his head and laughed loudly. His laughter was full of madness in grief and anger.

"Okay, okay, okay—"

Huang Pei's heart trembled when he saw Emperor Yong lose his composure like this.

When the emperor was still young, he was assigned by the late emperor to be by his side. He witnessed the emperor's growth from a child to a middle-aged man, and from a crown prince to an emperor.

Once upon a time, everything was perfect. The emperor worked hard to govern the country, and the emperor and empress were deeply in love.

Everything began to change when Princess Yu Liu of the Northern Kingdom sent a letter of surrender and a portrait.

So far, he has seen the emperor collapse three times.

One time was when Concubine Yu died.

The first time was when the red rope failed to be pulled in Guiqulaixiyuan seven years ago.

And this time, I learned that there were doubts about the Second Prince's background.

Every time it is related to Concubine Yu.

"Huang Pei..." Emperor Yong suddenly stopped laughing and spoke in a low voice.

Huang Pei was startled when he heard the voice, and he quickly raised his head and responded, "Your Majesty, I am here!"

Emperor Yong leaned back in his chair, raised his head and said calmly, "Send a message to Qiao Zhongguo, asking him to bring the second son back to the capital as soon as possible, and arrest Zhou Liu immediately."

"Don't let this Liu Fuzi die. I am still waiting for him to confront Zhou Liu face to face."

Huang Pei saw that Emperor Yong seemed to have calmed down, and he quickly responded with a "yes", and in his heart heaved a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Emperor Yong slid down from the chair without any warning.

Huang Pei instinctively raised his hand to help, and when he looked up, he saw that Emperor Yong's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and he was completely unconscious.

Huang Pei's head buzzed, and he was so frightened that his whole body trembled and he shouted loudly:

"Quick! Call the imperial physician!"

————

East Palace.

When Emperor Yong hurried to the imperial prison, the prince had already received the news.

The secret guard Mingfan stood beside the prince and whispered:

"Your Highness, Liu Fuzi is a man who can accomplish things. There will be no mistakes this time."

The prince nodded slightly, and raised the corners of his mouth for a long while, but his smile was full of sarcasm and bitterness.

If it weren't for his father's unconditional preference, how could he have been so cautious and roundabout in uncovering the truth, hurting his third brother and killing Liu Fuzi.

Father...you should know the truth by now, right?

What would my father's expression be like?

The prince lowered his head and smiled coldly for a long time.

Father, please also feel this pain.

The son, the mother, and Xiao Si have all experienced it, it is as painful as having your heart and liver torn out...

What will you choose this time?

"Mingfan, send a message to Baifan, the people at Huguo Temple...it's time!"

The storm is coming.

This wind... needs to get stronger!
