Chapter 1368 Your Majesty, please call me Prince!

Yangjin committed suicide.

He left no last words or suicide note.

Everything happened so suddenly, without any signs.

Emperor Wen went to see Yangjin for the last time, and then ordered people to hold a funeral for Yangjin with the ceremony of a prince's concubine.

As soon as Emperor Wen returned to his bedroom, Mu Shun came to report that the prince had arrived.

Not long after, the sick Yun Li walked in supported by a eunuch.

Yun Li came in and didn't even greet him, just stared at Emperor Wen.

Emperor Wen frowned slightly and looked at Yun Li in confusion: "Prince, what's wrong with you?"

"what happened?"

Yun Li stared at Emperor Wen with a face full of grief and anger, "You killed Yang Jin, and you still ask me what's wrong?"

Facing Yun Li's sad and angry gaze, Emperor Wen was suddenly a little confused.

Did you kill Yangjin yourself?

He thought it was the third brother who ordered someone to kill Yangjin!

As a result, the third brother thought that he was the one who killed Yangjin?

Just when Emperor Wen was secretly puzzled, Yun Li asked again with a face full of grief and anger: "Yang Jin has been placed under house arrest by you, why are you still unwilling to let her go? Do you really want to kill me and everyone around me?"

Yun Li seemed to be mad with anger.

He no longer even called him “Father”.

"Are you sick and confused?"

Emperor Wen raised his eyes slightly and asked, "When did I intend to kill you and everyone around you?"

Emperor Wen cast a deep gaze upon Yun Li.

Behead to kill!

He really saw that he was going to make a move on him.

So, he also saw the real purpose of Lao Liu's uprising?

Did he come here today to make things clear with me?

"Father!"

Yun Li suddenly raised his voice and yelled, "I'm not a fool! How long are you going to treat me like a fool? I know I'm not the crown prince anymore!"

He really understood everything.

After all, they, father and son, had reached this step ahead of time.

"So you understand everything?"

Emperor Wen had a calm expression and was not angry at Yun Li's rudeness.

On the contrary, he felt a little relieved.

This was a kind of relief that even he himself couldn't understand the reason.

"I'm not an idiot!"

Yun Li's eyes were blazing with fire: "From the moment you told me to rest and recuperate, I knew that I was just your pawn, just a stepping stone for that beast Lao Liu to rise to the top!"

Looking at the furious Yun Li, Mu Shun wanted to step forward and hold him back, but Emperor Wen stopped him with a look.

"That's your sixth brother!"

Emperor Wen emphasized in a serious tone.

"No!"

Yun Li roared angrily: "He is a beast! He is the bastard born from you and a lowly palace maid!"

Yun Li went all out, cursing like a scoundrel.

However, just after he finished cursing, Yun Li started coughing uncontrollably again.

After coughing for a while, Yun Li coughed up another mouthful of blood.

"Prince!"

Seeing this, Mu Shun hurried forward to support Yun Li who was coughing non-stop.

"roll!"

Yun Li pushed Mu Shun away, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and tried to straighten his body.

It seemed as if he was maintaining the last dignity of his status as a prince.

Emperor Wen couldn't bear it and sighed softly: "Third brother..."

"Your Majesty, please call me Prince!"

Yun Li's eyes widened with anger and he roared loudly.

At this moment, Yun Li seemed to have put life and death aside. He changed his previous submissive attitude in front of Emperor Wen and vented all his anger and unwillingness.

Your Majesty!

Prince...

Emperor Wen suddenly clenched his fists.

At this moment, there are no father and son, only king and ministers?

Maybe yes!

When he decided to take action against the third brother, perhaps the only relationship left between them was that of a monarch and his subject.

There is no longer any father-son relationship between them.

There is only a game between the monarch and his subjects.

"Prince..."

Emperor Wen compromised and ordered Mu Shun: "Bring a soft couch over for the prince!"

"No need!"

Yun Li gritted his teeth and growled, "Since I walked into this place today, I never thought I could walk out alive! I just want to ask you in person, why are you so cruel to me, why are you so biased towards that bastard?"

"why?"

Emperor Wen suddenly raised his voice and said, "Then tell me, why did you want to murder your elder brother?"

Listening to Emperor Wen's words, Yun Li couldn't help but reveal a tragic smile on his face.

He really knows everything!

"When you stepped on the corpses of your brothers to sit on the throne of the crown prince, did you ever ask yourself why?"

Yun Li asked Emperor Wen with disdain on his face, and at the same time stabbed Emperor Wen in the heart.

He is so cruel to me, why can't I be cruel to him?

Emperor Wen did not answer his son's question.

He had no answer.

Perhaps, asking this question was a mistake in itself.

How can there be so many whys in the world?

Power itself is appealing.

He ascended the throne by stepping on the corpses of his brothers.

What reason does one need for one's own son to follow in one's footsteps?

"Let me change the question."

Emperor Wen took a deep breath and said, "How do you want to rebel? Or, how do you want to... kill me?"

Emperor Wen stared at Yun Li with his eyes fixed.

Although they had already revealed their true colors as father and son, and although he had decided to depose Yun Li, he still felt a little sad when he saw Yun Li's current appearance.

I feel heartbroken for myself and for my son.

Yun Li sneered: "It's not me who wants to rebel, it's Tang Shu and Xiao Wanchou who want to rebel. They want to attack the emperor when he is offering sacrifices to the heaven, so as to win credit from that bastard Lao Liu! I just killed the rebels..."

Yun Li laid out his plan in full.

At this point, there is no need for him to hide anything.

Listening to Yun Li's plan, Emperor Wen couldn't help but nodded with a bitter face.

Not bad!

It's not in vain that he has been regency for so long.

This son does have some tricks up his sleeve.

Compared with the second and fifth brothers, he does look more like an emperor.

If there was no Sixth Brother, if he was not so cruel, perhaps he would indeed be the most suitable person to inherit the throne.

Emperor Wen sighed softly and asked again: "Since you have planned it all, why don't you wait until then?"

"Wait until then? Will you let me wait until then?"

Yun Li smiled sadly: "I have calculated everything, but I never expected that the bastard Lao Liu would suddenly raise an army to tip you off! Your Majesty, can you tell me how Lao Liu knew I was going to take action?"

He really wanted to know the answer to this question.

This was a question he couldn't figure out no matter how hard he tried.

Since everything has been laid out, there's no harm in asking.

He didn't believe that Lao Liu, that bastard, was capable of fortune-telling.

He doesn't think he's dumber than that bastard.

"I don't know how he knew that."

Emperor Wen shook his head with a tired look on his face: "Perhaps this is why neither you nor I are as good as him..."

"I'm not as good as him? How am I not as good as him?"

Yun Li exploded again, both dissatisfied and indignant: "Throughout history, every dynasty has never lacked good generals!"

"A ruler of a country should not be good at fighting wars, but should know how to use people well!"

"Besides fighting wars and playing some tricks, what else can he do?"

"Am I not as good as him in governing the country? Isn't it my contribution that helped him expand the territory?"
