Chapter 181 Abdication Decree
Chapter 181 Abdication Decree
The long needle pierced into the philtrum. The emperor wanted to continue pretending to be unconscious, but the pain did not allow it. Su Que deliberately exerted force.
The emperor had no choice but to wake up and reached out to push Su Que, "How dare you! You want to murder me."
Su Que was nimble and grumbled, "Your Majesty really loves to confuse right and wrong. I was clearly saving you out of kindness."
She walked towards Qiao Chengwang with her back to the emperor, not even bothering to look at him.
This was the first time the emperor was looked down upon like this, and he found it hard to accept. He felt that all this was because of Su Heting and Qiao Xi.
They were the ones who took the lead in trampling on his dignity as an emperor, causing all the officials to rebel as well. Even Su Que, a little commoner, dared to attack him at will.
He pointed at Su Heting and cursed, "As a son, you are unfilial, as a minister, you are disloyal, as a member of the royal family, you disregard the royal family's dignity, you are not worthy of being a royal son, how can you have the face to succeed to the throne?"
"Since Your Majesty has spoken so, please write a letter of apology. After I have sought justice for my brother and the Yue family, I will take my wife back to the frontier."
Su Heting's expression was calm. "Not everyone is willing to take this position."
At that time, the late emperor was worried about the emperor, so he made him the crown prince when he was three years old. The burden of the family and the country has been on him since he was a child. He never dared to relax, but there were times when he felt breathless.
No one ever asked him whether he wanted to be the crown prince.
If the emperor had not been incompetent and foolish, turning Dayou into what he is today, and if it were not for revenge, he would have preferred to stay with Qiao Xi and live a peaceful life with them in northern Xinjiang.
The emperor was delighted when he heard this. "You are a man of your word. Take the imperial edict and leave the capital. You are not allowed to come back."
You are not allowed to force him to abdicate and seize the throne.
He looked at the people in the hall again and said, "You all heard it clearly. He said it himself. He will return to Xinjiang North."
As long as he is still the emperor, he will find a way to avenge today's humiliation.
All the officials looked at each other in bewilderment, and soon several of them took the lead and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. For the sake of the people of the world, please ascend the throne as soon as possible."
What a joke! They had just supported the prince and offended the emperor.
Given the emperor's temper, he will definitely take revenge on them later. I'm afraid that the whole family will be implicated.
How could the emperor be allowed to continue to stay in this position?
The emperor's smile froze on his face.
What does it mean that a country cannot be without a king for a day?
Isn't he human?
He is still alive and well.
He's not dead yet!
"You treacherous traitors!"
How dare they ignore him and urge Su Heting to succeed to the throne in front of him.
The emperor covered his heart with his hands, his liver ached with anger, and glared at everyone with bloodshot eyes.
Su Heting said calmly, "I would like to leave, but you've failed so badly as emperor that I have no choice but to stay and clean up your mess."
"puff!"
The emperor was so angry that he spat out blood.
"Why are you so shameless?"
Su Heting said calmly, "Born by a mother but not taught by a father, it's natural that he doesn't understand what a gentleman is.
However, I know that Dayou cannot fall into the hands of someone like you again."
He ordered, "Your Majesty is not feeling well. Send His Majesty back to the Yangxin Palace."
"you dare!"
The emperor was furious.
Su Heting wants to put him under house arrest.
But then he heard Su Heting slowly utter four words, "Write a confession of guilt!"
This time the emperor really fainted, and Qiao Xi and Lord Zhan personally sent him back to the Yangxin Palace.
But when he arrived at the Yangxin Palace, he was awakened again.
“I can’t write.”
The emperor glared at Qiao Xi, "You will never have a good ending if you behave like this today."
Qiao Xi looked at him and said, "You don't have to write it. Your confession of guilt will appear outside the palace tomorrow morning."
The Crown Prince had been enlightened by the Emperor, and he could imitate the Emperor's handwriting accurately, without expecting the Emperor to write it himself.
"As for our end, you won't see it."
The emperor's pupils suddenly shrank.
"You still want to kill the king, aren't you afraid that the local vassal states will use this as a means to attack you?
Even though you have hundreds of thousands of troops in the north and south of Xinjiang, some things are not as simple as you think."
Qiao Xi knew that things were not that easy, but, "You don't have to worry about these."
She brought the pen, ink and blank imperial edict to the emperor and signaled Lord Zhan and the others to leave.
Qiao Xi said slowly, "Do you want to know why you lost so miserably, and Su Heting's true identity?"
"What do you mean?"
The emperor was astonished. "Su Heting is not the second prince? He is Yi Qing's man, right?"
Qiao Xi simply said, "Write the abdication edict, and I'll tell you everything."
The emperor wanted to know, but he was unwilling to write an abdication edict.
But Qiao Xi didn't give him any chance at all. She took out a pill from her sleeve, pinched the emperor's chin and threw it into his mouth.
"Write, and you'll die with dignity. If you don't write, then I'll have to trouble the Crown Prince to imitate your notes.
But you won’t have a good ending.”
The emperor had Cao Ying give her the medicine before she left Beijing. She spit it out at that time and kept it with her. Later, she gave it to Lai Chijiao for research.
Lai Chijiao made another one based on that medicine, which was more toxic than Cao Ying's.
In her previous life, this medicine became the medicine in her body, and later combined with the poison given by the emperor, causing her to explode and die.
In this life, she will let the emperor have a taste of this.
The emperor's level of cooperation today will determine where and when he will explode.
Obviously, the emperor was unwilling to cooperate.
The emperor was horrified, "What kind of poison did you give me?"
And what did Qiao Xi mean by what he just said?
The prince is still alive?
"I'm returning the medicine you asked Cao Ying to give me. I just don't know if she has developed the next medicine in this life."
She took out another pill from her sleeve, “But it doesn’t matter, I already have one here.
As long as I feed you this medicine, you will explode within an hour."
Qiao Xi sneered, "Blood and flesh flew everywhere."
"You...you dare! I am the Son of Heaven!"
The emperor was extremely frightened.
Cao Ying did tell him that she would develop a subsequent poison that would cause Qiao Xi to explode and die, leaving no trace of her body.
But that was the destination he gave Qiao Xi when she had assassinated the leaders of various vassal states and the sword was no longer of any use.
Therefore, Cao Ying was not in a hurry to make the medicine. Why did Qiao Xi know about it and get the medicine?
"At this point, you still think I don't dare?"
Qiao Xi's face suddenly turned cold, his eyes sharp, "You have done evil, and even if you die a thousand times, it will not be unfair.
Besides, you killed me in this way before, and now I am just repaying you with a tooth for a tooth."
"You are crazy. If I kill you, how can you still be alive..."
Suddenly, he thought of something and looked down at the ground.
There are shadows on the ground.
Qiao Xi is not a ghost.
But now her expression was like that of a Rakshasa from hell seeking revenge. He couldn't help but shudder, "Have you died before?"
Qiao Xi nodded.
The emperor did not believe in ghosts and gods.
But he knew Qiao Xi. She was not the kind of person who talked nonsense. He didn't know what she meant by those words.
How could a dead person still be standing in front of him alive?
He also wanted to know why he lost.
And who is Su Heting?
Qiao Xi handed the pen to him, with an expression that said, "I'll tell you after you write it down." "Once you write it down, you can choose where to die."
But whether it should be done is another matter.
