Chapter 253 New and old grudges count from 1
Zhu Zhishun and the two officials seemed surprised that he would refuse...
No, to be precise, I didn't expect him to refuse so firmly, as if there was no room for negotiation whatsoever.
Yu Chi Rui clenched his fists, his face darkening before suddenly turning vicious. He grabbed Yu Chi Sheng by the neck and said cruelly, "If you don't want to abdicate, then die! Everyone in the Imperial Hospital can testify that you're beyond medical help. I can kill you now and say you've died, and no one will suspect a thing! Whether you agree or not, the throne is mine!"
"You...you...you actually dared to kill your father and your emperor?" Yu Chisheng was in great pain, but his heart ached even more than his eyes were red!
After the people from Beilin Kingdom arrived, Yuchi Ling arranged for people from Huaxiang Pavilion to enter the palace, disguised as palace eunuchs, to work by his side.
After he was poisoned for the first time, it was discovered that Yuchi Rui had bribed the people in the imperial kitchen to tamper with his food. Fortunately, the people in Huaxiang Pavilion checked his pulse three times a day and discovered the poisoning in time.
In order to lure the snake out of its hole, he followed Yuchi Ling's advice and kept quiet, allowing the person in the imperial kitchen to continue to poison the food.
Fearing that the Imperial Medical Academy staff might also be bribed by Yuchi Rui, the people from Huaxiang Pavilion administered a special medicine to him after the first antidote. This medicine was non-toxic, but it could alter his pulse, making it resemble that of someone who had been poisoned, thus deceiving everyone in the Imperial Medical Academy.
All he had to do was feign illness or sleep when someone came to see him...
Although he was prepared to face a coup from his son Yuchi Rui at any time, he still found it difficult to accept his son's ruthlessness and heartlessness.
For more than 20 years, he has never mistreated this son!
In the end, it was this son who colluded with the enemy country!
This same son was the one who murdered his father and killed his ruler!
Yu Chi Rui's five fingers gripped his neck tightly, the veins on the back of his hand and wrist bulging, but none of it could compare to the murderous intent filled with hatred in his eyes.
"Old man, I'll ask you one last time: are you willing to abdicate? If you sign the abdication document, I can spare your life. If you're not willing, then don't blame me for being impolite!"
“I…I am willing…to abdicate…” Yu Chisheng nodded with difficulty.
Seeing his pale and ashen face, as if he were about to die at any moment, Zhu Zhishun quickly stepped forward and said to Yuchi Rui in a low voice, "It would be best if he were willing to abdicate, so that we could avoid a lot of trouble."
With an edict of abdication, one doesn't need to waste much breath to make the officials submit.
King murder can only be a last resort.
Yuchi Rui loosened his five fingers.
"Qi Sui, prepare the brush and ink!" he ordered, turning around.
However, upon turning around, he suddenly discovered that Qi Sui had vanished without a trace.
Zhu Zhishun said, "Then please invite His Majesty to the Imperial Study."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly sniffed and even raised his hand to rub his nose.
The two officials next to him did the same thing.
Yu Chi Rui also noticed something was wrong; a faint floral fragrance had somehow filled the air, and his nose was itchy...
Before they could even figure it out, they all suddenly collapsed to the ground!
……
When they woke up again, they saw the man and woman who had been missing for many days and should not have been there. Their faces were full of panic, and their eyes were almost bulging out.
"You..." Yu Chi Rui had just opened his mouth when he suddenly found himself tied to a pillar.
Zhu Zhishun and the other two officials lined up in a row.
Ye Shishu brandished the whip in her hand, looking at them with a cold smile, especially Yu Chi Rui and Zhu Zhishun. She was so angry that she wanted to bite them and scratch them.
"Not killing you before was our biggest mistake. Today, let's settle both our old and new scores."
After saying that, she raised her whip and lashed it hard at Yu Chi Rui.
'Snap—Snap—Snap—'
Three lashes were delivered in quick succession, causing Yuchi Rui to scream in agony three times.
Just as Zhu Zhishun was watching with trepidation, the whip suddenly changed direction and came hurtling towards him—
The same three lashes caused him to scream in agony from the searing pain.
The other two officials were trembling, but Ye Shishu stopped after lashing Zhu Zhishun three times.
Suddenly, a strong smell of urine filled the air.
Ye Shishu glanced at the two officials and couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Oh, scared out of your wits? What will you do when I cut you into a thousand pieces later?"
One of the officials pleaded, trembling, "Your Highness, Your Highness... I confess... It was Prince Liang who instigated me to help him usurp the throne... Please have mercy on me, for my years of loyalty to the court..."
Another official also pleaded for mercy, "Your Highness and the Crown Prince, please have mercy... I... I was also misled by Prince Liang..."
Ye Shishu sneered, "If you two hadn't uttered a single word, I would have respected your integrity. I didn't expect you to betray us before the trial even started. Seriously, you really deserve to die. When the Emperor deposed Yuchi Rui from his position as Crown Prince last time, he already gave you a chance, but you didn't give up your treacherous intentions and dared to join Prince Liang in plotting to usurp the throne."
The two officials lowered their heads and dared not speak again.
Yu Chi Ling put his arm around Ye Shi Shu's shoulder and took the whip from her hand. "It would be just as satisfying to have someone else do it. Why bother expending your own energy?"
Ye Shishu smiled and said, "Don't worry, this little bit of strength won't affect the child."
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed a pair of hostile eyes staring at her stomach.
She looked at Yuchi Rui and raised her chin provocatively, "Yuchi Rui, you didn't expect this, did you? Not only do I have a legitimate grandson, but I also left Siming Mountain unscathed."
"How...how did you escape?" Yu Chi Rui glared at her menacingly, wishing he could bite her to death.
"Of course, it was His Highness the Crown Prince who saved me. You don't know, do you? Actually, we came back a long time ago, just wanting to see you all making a fool of yourselves." Ye Shishu thought of something and then raised her red lips with a wicked smile. "Oh, right, there's something else I need to tell you. Actually, the Duke of Wei didn't die. The person you were mourning was an old man with a terminal illness. When you poisoned the Duke of Wei, we had already escorted him out of Jizhou City. He's living quite comfortably in the former Prince Cheng's residence now."
"You bitches! You've been playing us for a fool all this time!" Yu Chi Rui cursed through gritted teeth.
Yu Chi Lingjun's face suddenly darkened. He released Ye Shishu, walked towards him, and kicked him in the groin.
"what--"
The screams were even more deafening than before.
Yu Chi Ling stopped, then took out a black pill from his waist, stuffed it into Yu Chi Rui's mouth, and pinched his cheeks to force him to swallow it.
"Cough cough..." Yu Chi Rui's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at him hatefully. "You...you...what did you give me...to eat..."
Compared to his demonic appearance, Yu Chi Ling's chilling aura was even more unsettling.
"The Heartbreak Pill will take effect in seven days. Even if Father Emperor is soft-hearted, no god can save you!"
"You...you...you're so vicious..." Yu Chi Rui opened his mouth wide, clearly wanting to scream, but Yu Chi Ling's kick had injured his genitals, making his voice hoarse the harder he tried.
Seeing him like this, Ye Shishu finally felt a sense of satisfaction at having avenged his great grudge.
Just then, Wu Yue arrived at the prison.
"Your Highness, the eldest and second young masters of the Ye family have entered the city, and they have also brought back Consort Zhu, a concubine of the Prince of Liang."
Zhu Zhishun, who had been feigning death after being whipped three times, suddenly raised his head, "Ning'er..."
