Chapter 351: Extra 7: The Underworld
Ye Xun was standing there in a daze, obviously he hadn’t recovered from the shock of being stabbed through the heart by his uncle.
However, in just a few breaths, Emperor Taicheng and the Second Prince seemed to have reached some agreement and surrounded him. Especially Emperor Taicheng tightly grasped his son’s hand, his expression was tense, leaving no doubt that if Ye Xun had not died, Emperor Taicheng would not mind letting him die again. If I had known this, I should not have spared his life. My hard work throughout my life was completely in vain, and it was all destroyed by him in the blink of an eye.
Emperor Taicheng gritted his teeth.
The prince sat there, wanting to say something several times, but in the end he said nothing.
Even though the prince only knew what happened after his death from a few words, he also knew what would happen to his son if it weren’t for Xiaojiu’s protection when his father was furious. After that, Xiaojiu brought him to his side and raised him personally, fearing that he would die halfway. It can be said that he was very affectionate and treated him as his own son. At least when the prince was alive, he never treated him so carefully, but he didn’t expect that he would end up like this.
And this shouldn’t be Xiaojiu’s responsibility. As the saying goes, people leave and tea gets cold, and the royal family is even more cold-hearted. He was a scapegoat at the beginning, and his death was not clean in the end. If it was someone else, I’m afraid they wouldn’t dare to get involved in it, and it would be good enough if they didn’t add insult to injury. Only Xiaojiu was willing to speak for him at that time.
The prince knew that since he had helped Xiaojiu to be born smoothly in this world, he had never let him down. It was his own son, but now he had ruined all of Xiaojiu’s feelings.
Noticing that the Second Prince suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his way, the Crown Prince did not resist, but lowered his eyes and said nothing, avoiding his son’s gaze.
The Fourth Prince had no grudge against the Crown Prince, but Ye Shuo had saved the Fourth Prince’s life after all. The Fourth Prince had no chance to repay him when he was alive, and now he was repaying his brother a little. Moreover, Ye Xun’s actions reminded the Fourth Prince of the Thirteenth Prince, who was also repaying kindness with enmity. The Thirteenth Prince had no feelings for him after all, but the Fourth Prince felt that it was not too much to call the man in front of him a beast.
