Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 210 Take action

"Father, do you think that since you summoned Pei Xu, there will be room for resistance?"

Pei Yunqing sneered and looked at the old emperor coldly.

He would never allow himself to fail, otherwise all his efforts would be wasted. He would never allow such a thing to happen!

"I'm telling you, stop dreaming. Even a Daluo Jinxian can't save you. Look at you now. What's the difference between being alive and dead? Do you still expect your concubine to save you? At this point, I'm not afraid of you knowing that Concubine Liu was someone I specially arranged to be by your side. As for Concubine Shu, she died a long time ago, and all this is because of you."

Pei Yunqing sneered, completely shattering the old emperor's hopes.

You have to be a little ruthless in life, so that you can achieve your goals.

Ever since Concubine Liu was sent to the emperor, she has been highly favored. Even now, the old emperor has never doubted her.

"This bitch, she actually betrayed me, I'm going to kill her, bitch!"

The old emperor said angrily that if he was not paralyzed in bed and could never get up again, he would immediately draw his sword and kill Concubine Liu.

"It's useless to be angry. You are already exhausted and it's impossible for you to make a comeback. If you are willing to write a letter of abdication, I can consider making you the Supreme Emperor. But if you don't cooperate, don't blame me for being rude."

Pei Yunqing was already murderous, and he had lost his patience. Most importantly, he couldn't figure out Pei Xu's thoughts and didn't dare to delay any longer.

Pei Xu was not like the crown prince, who could be easily killed by him.

"If you really have the guts, just kill me. I will never write you a letter of abdication. I will never acknowledge you as my heir."

In the old emperor's mind, any of his sons could inherit the throne, but Pei Yunqing would never be recognized by him.

Because he knew that Pei Yunqing wanted to be legitimate, and he would not let Pei Yunqing get his wish.

"So what if you don't acknowledge me? If I sit on that throne, I'll be the emperor, and all the ministers will have to come and pay homage to me."

Pei Yunqing sneered. He had now let it go and was no longer obsessed with legitimacy.

"Father, since you're so obsessed with the pursuit of immortality, why not take more elixirs? Who knows, you might actually get what you want."

As soon as Pei Yunqing finished speaking, Hu Dequan walked over from the shadows, and in his hand was the emperor's elixir.

This is not an elixir, but a deadly poison.

The emperor knew it, but he had no way to escape.

"Hu Dequan, how dare you!"

Hu Dequan is his confidant, or rather his former confidant.

Now he has become Pei Yunqing's minion.

"You are such a heartless person! I really misjudged you!"

He trusted Hu Dequan so much that he dared to put the third brother's life in his hands.

"Your Majesty, I had no choice. Please don't blame me."

Hu Dequan lowered his eyes and spoke. He had finally figured it out. Since he had followed Pei Yunqing, he could no longer think about his old master, otherwise he would end up pleasing neither side.

"Hu Dequan, what's your last resort? I trust you so much."

The old emperor held a high position and had not been threatened with his life for many years, so he naturally could not understand the difficulties of an old eunuch.

He looked at Hu Dequan with hatred, wishing he could tear him apart alive.

But Hu Dequan no longer cared about his anger. At this point, Hu Dequan just wanted to protect himself.

"Your Majesty, please save some strength."

Hu Dequan looked at the old emperor's cloudy eyes and knew that today was his end.

"Stop talking nonsense to him and quickly give him the medicine."

Pei Yunqing didn't want to see the master and servant reminiscing about the past. He arranged for Hu Dequan to take action today in order to completely extinguish the old emperor's hopes.

Hu Dequan knew that Pei Yunjing had lost her patience, so he immediately took action.

Now that the emperor is dead, Pei Yunqing will be the only one who has the final say in the palace.

After drinking this bottle of medicine, the emperor will not die immediately, but he will not survive the night.

After Hu Dequan drank the pill, he took small steps back to Pei Yunqing without saying a word.

"Father, enjoy your last moments. You don't have to worry about being alone on the road to the underworld. After all, your sons are waiting for you. And I will also send Xiao Ba, the one you place your hopes on, to find you."

Pei Yunqing had already made up his mind at this time. Since he had already killed his father, he was not afraid of killing another brother.

The old emperor wanted to say something, but he collapsed on the bed with powerlessness all over his body, unable to speak anymore.

Pei Yunqing had wanted to do this a long time ago. If it weren't for the four words "legitimate", he would not have kept the old emperor until now.

No matter which world he is in, he seems to be the dispensable one. He does not like his father and does not have such tough means. But now he is finally no longer merciful.

Now the throne is destined to be his.

So what if there is no imperial edict? The emperor is dead, and he is the only adult prince.

If Xiao Ba died again, he would be the only prince. Who else could the ministers choose besides him?

Pei Yunlin didn't know that danger was already looming over his head. He still hoped to escape from the control of his fifth brother and meet his father.

He didn't know how his father was doing now, but he was just a 12-year-old boy. If he were asked to turn things around on his own, he would not be able to do it at all.

"Xiao Ba, I heard you've been having some thoughts lately. How about I come and talk to you?"

Pei Yunqing came out of the emperor's bedroom and went to Pei Yunlin's residence.

He knew that Pei Yunlin didn't want to see him, but there was nothing he could do about it, since he had the upper hand now.

"Fifth brother, we have nothing to talk about unless you agree to let me see the emperor."

Pei Yunlin subconsciously took a step back. Although he didn't know what Pei Yunqing was thinking, Pei Yunqing never came to see him and just had someone monitor him. Therefore, he immediately guessed that Pei Yunqing's coming this time must be no simple matter.

"If you want to see the emperor, of course you can, but not now, but in the evening."

What he saw was not the living emperor, but the emperor's corpse.

Pei Yunqing needed a suitable person to discover that the emperor was dead, and Pei Yunlin was the most suitable person.

"Really? Fifth brother, have you finally agreed to let me see the emperor?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Pei Yunlin's eyes, but he quickly calmed down. He realized that his fifth brother's sudden concession was definitely not a good thing. He was afraid that something had happened to his father.

"Xiao Ba, now that you've said that, how can I bear to refuse you again? Don't worry, I will definitely let you see the emperor."

The more Pei Yunqing said this, the more scared Pei Yunlin became. He always felt that he had walked into a trap.

But the trap was right there, and he couldn't see through it.
