Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 206 Furious

Pei Yunqing couldn't help but frown when he thought of Liu Fei.

Although the hatred in the woman's heart remained unchanged, her methods were not cruel, and she did not provide him with much help.

When Pei Yunqing was training her, he spent a lot of energy and raised her to suit the old emperor's preferences. Otherwise, she would not have been so loved by the old emperor.

"Don't worry about her. She's just a woman. She won't cause any trouble."

Pei Yunqing's tone was indifferent, as proud as before, and he seemed to look down on everyone.

He has not yet told Hu Dequan that Liu Fei is his.

Pei Yunqing was still worried about Hu Dequan, feeling that he might betray him at any time.

Although Hu Dequan's loyalty to the emperor was not that strong, he was a coward and always wanted to leave a way out for himself.

He was able to betray the emperor and join Pei Yunqing's camp, and now he can also join others in order to survive.

"I asked you to keep an eye on Xiao Ba recently. How's your watch going?"

Although Pei Yunqing didn't intend to kill Pei Yunlin now, if Pei Yunlin had any intentions, he would never let him go.

"There's nothing unusual about the Eighth Prince. He's just a young boy. Prince Su has already rejected him, and no one will help him."

What Hu Dequan said was true. Pei Yunlin was now isolated and helpless, with no chance of turning things around.

"Whether he has help or not, keep a close eye on him. That kid has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. I don't believe he'll just accept his fate like that."

Pei Yunqing didn't understand Pei Yunlin, but he understood Pei Yunlin himself. How could he have other thoughts about his brother who shared the same blood with him?

It is not easy to produce good bamboo shoots from bad bamboo.

"I understand, Your Highness, don't worry."

Hu Dequan responded in a low voice. Although he didn't understand why the Fifth Prince was unwilling to let the Eighth Prince go, he just followed his master's orders.

"Of course I feel at ease with you watching over me. After all, Xiao Ba was raised under your care. If it weren't for you, Xiao Ba probably wouldn't have grown up so well."

Pei Yunqing glanced at Hu Dequan and said in a mocking tone.

His father was very busy and did not have much fatherly love. Even though he knew that he had few sons, he was still unwilling to focus on them, so all these things were done by his close attendant Hu Dequan.

During the days when Pei Yunqing lived in seclusion, Hu Dequan often visited him on behalf of the old emperor.

If there had been no fight for the throne, Pei Yunqing might have had some respect for Hu Dequan, but in the face of interests, all those small favors he had shown him before were wiped out.

"Your Highness, His Majesty is very busy with government affairs, so most of the princes have been raised under my care. It is precisely because of this that I secretly hope that Your Highness can show leniency to the Eighth Prince."

Although Hu Dequan is selfish, he is still somewhat soft-hearted towards children.

Pei Yunqing found it particularly ironic. If a selfish person cannot be completely selfish, he will sooner or later die from a little bit of soft-heartedness.

Just like Hu Dequan was hesitant at the beginning, and then he also suffered losses in this matter.

If Hu Dequan had made a firm choice at the beginning, whether to support him or continue to support the emperor, he would not have ended up like this today.

Although Hu Dequan is now working for Pei Yunqing, he cannot gain his trust and is often ridiculed by him.

"Hu Dequan, if you're thinking about pleading for Xiao Ba, you might as well think about yourself. Your wavering makes me doubt that you're not really loyal to me."

Pei Yunqing didn't have the patience to waste time with him, so he just made things clear.

Hu Dequan seemed to be surprised that he would say that, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, but it was quickly replaced by panic.

"Your Highness, I absolutely do not have such thoughts."

Pei Yunqing ignored him and strode towards the old emperor's bedroom.

The old emperor had been imprisoned by him for a long time, and his expression was very ugly when he saw him.

"You evil creature, what are you doing here?"

The old emperor knew that Pei Yunqing would never turn back from his ways. At this point, there was no turning back for him and his father.

Pei Yunqing didn't mind him calling him a bad boy. As long as he could sit on the throne, what did it matter if he was scolded a few times?

"Father, if you feel good scolding me, then go ahead and write me the abdication edict. I don't have the patience to waste time with you."

Pei Yunqing would come over to force him from time to time, but he never took action.

The emperor thought that Pei Yunqing didn't dare to touch him, but that was not the case.

If it weren't for Pei Xu's intervention, the emperor would have collapsed long ago.

And now he could only ask Concubine Liu to feed him the "magic pill", but the effect of the "magic pill" did not seem to be as good as he imagined. The old emperor looked so energetic.

"Evil creature, I told you long ago, don't dream, unless I die, you will not be able to sit in that position."

The old emperor threw the inkstone away casually, but it did not hit Pei Yunqing.

Pei Yunqing was a young man after all, so he easily dodged it.

"Father, you are old. It's time for you to make way for the young. I really don't understand what the point of you persisting is."

Pei Yunqing sighed and looked distressed.

But the old emperor was not moved by this. He wished he could kill Pei Yunqing with one punch.

Now that he has taken the "magic pill", his health is much better than before. He feels that he can sit on the throne for a few more years and is even less willing to abdicate.

What's more, he was forced to abdicate by his son. How could he have the face to face his ancestors after his death?

"You beast, when you were not in good health, I asked someone to take good care of you, but you turned out to be such a heartless person."

The old emperor was extremely angry. He really regretted not letting Pei Yunqing die, so that the prince and the third son would not have died.

"It's a pity that it's too late."

Pei Yunqing expressed the old emperor's thoughts, and he looked into the old emperor's eyes with indifference.

"Father, you only have eyes for the Crown Prince and Third Brother. Have you ever really thought of me? I used to look forward to you coming to see Mother and me, but you never did. Now you tell me all this, do you really think I'll feel anything? I tell you, I don't care at all. Nothing can attract me more than power."

Pei Yunqing's face was full of ambition. His words were certainly false, but his pursuit of power was very real.

When the old emperor heard his words, he was stunned for a moment, but he was not moved.

Regardless, his son betrayed him.

"Get out, get out of here."

The old emperor was furious and felt ashamed of his own daze.

Pei Yunqing shrugged indifferently, and then winked at Liu Fei, indicating that their plan needed to be accelerated.
