Extra Story: King Yan 2

One month later.

The emperor was finally able to speak, and the first sentence was: "Call the prince and grandson to come."

When the prince and grandson arrived, the emperor asked: "Has the funeral of Prince An been settled?"

The prince replied respectfully: "Father, don't worry. A Yao has already ordered people to bury Prince An." After a pause, he said: "Prince Yan is still imprisoned in the clan residence. However, A Yao deliberately reduced his food, and he can only eat half full at each meal. Let him taste the suffering that Prince An has suffered."

The emperor escaped death this time, and lay on the bed for several months. He could only drink some soup every day, and he was so thin that he almost lost his trace. There were wrinkles and spots on his forehead, and he looked like he was not going to live long.

At this point, the emperor finally let it go and said slowly: "All these incidents are caused by the Prince of Yan. It is not appropriate to just lock him up in the prison of the clan. Since he has committed a serious mistake, he must be severely punished. Otherwise, everyone will follow suit in the future, and the court will be in chaos."

At least he is not too confused!

The crown prince and the prince looked at each other and said nothing.

The emperor took a deep breath: "We are father and son. Before I deal with him, I want to see this rebellious son again."

He wanted to ask the rebellious son in person why he did this!

The emperor was excited, and a strange red flush suddenly surged on his thin face, and he coughed several times. The crown prince hurriedly came forward and patted the emperor on the back for a while.

The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The prince hesitated for a moment before he opened his mouth to persuade: "If the emperor wants to deal with the Prince of Yan, why not just issue an imperial edict directly? Why summon him to the palace again?"

What if the Prince of Yan speaks without restraint and makes the emperor angry?

The emperor was extremely stubborn: "That rebellious son, can he really make me angry to death? I must see him."

The prince had no choice but to agree.

...

That afternoon, the Prince of Yan, who had been imprisoned in the Imperial Clan House for a year, finally saw the light of day again.

To say that he saw the light of day again actually meant that he came out of the prison of the Imperial Clan House and was escorted to the palace by a group of imperial guards in a blink of an eye.

The Prince of Yan was also very thin, with a lifeless look in his eyes.

After entering the palace, he did not go to the Purple Palace immediately. The Crown Prince stood in front of the King of Yan and said calmly: "Come here, help the King of Yan bathe and change clothes."

"No need." The King of Yan, who had been silent all the way, suddenly opened his mouth: "Isn't my father anxious to see me? I'll go to the Purple Palace now."

After a while, a sarcastic sneer appeared on the corner of his lips again: "It's just right for my father to see me in such a miserable state, maybe it can calm his anger. Don't be so kind. I'm going on the road like this, isn't it just what you want?"

The Crown Prince was in power, and his demeanor became more majestic and sharp. He didn't get angry when he heard it, and ordered the eunuchs standing aside: "Didn't you hear it? Come and help the King of Yan bathe."

The eunuchs rushed forward and "served" the King of Yan to wash clean and put on new clothes.

The King of Yan couldn't struggle, so he simply stopped wasting his energy and sneered and let people "serve" him.

When the Prince of Yan saw the old and lifeless Emperor at the Purple Palace, he did not feel guilty at all, but laughed strangely.

He first grinned, then laughed louder and louder, and finally laughed until tears came out.

The Emperor had a gloomy face and just looked at the Prince of Yan and laughed wildly.

The Prince of Yan laughed until his tears came out, but he didn't wipe them off. He just stood there looking at the emperor lying on the bed, neither kneeling nor begging for mercy: "Father has already made up his mind to execute me, the rebellious son, why did he have someone summon me to the palace? Do you want to see me, the rebellious son, for the last time?"

The emperor was so angry that his face turned blue, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Rebellious son! I think I have treated you well. You are my youngest son, and you are the legitimate son of Empress Xu. I have always favored you. Empress Xu was not a good woman, and I abolished her position as queen, but I never took my anger out on you. I still treated you as before."

"But how did you repay me?"

"I trusted you and took you to the temporary palace to relax according to your advice. You secretly colluded with Prince An and ordered people to assassinate me and the crown prince..."

"It's not right for your father to say that!" Prince Yan interrupted the emperor frivolously: "I do want to kill my elder brother. However, I blocked the sword that assassinated my father. If I wanted to kill my father, I could just stand by and watch."

The emperor sneered: "You still think that I will support you, and think that I will make you the crown prince after the crown prince dies. How can you bear to see me die, and how can you bear to give up the good opportunity you have painstakingly created?"

"Father thinks so, I have nothing to say."

Prince Yan shrugged indifferently: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Since I have lost, I will let my father deal with it. Is your father going to give me poisoned wine, or let me go to the execution ground and chop off my head?"

He glanced at the table beside him. There was a tray on the table, and there were wine pots and wine glasses on the tray.

"It seems that my father has prepared poisoned wine for me. Well, I can leave a whole body after death, and it will be more decent in the underground."

The emperor was choked and gasped.

The Prince of Yan laughed mockingly: "It's already this time, who are you still showing your reluctance to leave? Look at the state of the emperor, he won't live much longer. I will wait for you in the underworld. Soon, our family will be reunited in the underworld."

"You... you rebellious son! I really misjudged you and trusted you wrongly!"

The emperor trembled and squeezed out a few words. He was so angry that his eyes went dark and he fainted.

The crown prince, who had been standing by, frowned and immediately ordered someone to call Wei Yan in.

When Wei Yan came in, he saw that the emperor's face was turning blue, and he thought it was not good, so he hurried forward to give him acupuncture first aid.

The emperor's illness was the most important thing not to get angry. Every time he fainted, it was a gate of hell for the emperor. If he could not be rescued, he would die immediately.

For a while, the Purple Palace was in a mess again.

The culprit who caused all this had no guilt.

The King of Yan looked at it coldly for a moment, then walked to the table under the watchful eyes of the imperial guards, poured a glass of wine by himself, and drank it all.

The poisonous wine was extremely toxic. As soon as it entered the stomach, the King of Yan's face turned black.

The stomach was burning like fire, followed by a bone-eroding pain.

The King of Yan seemed unaware and praised "good wine". He actually poured another glass and drank it.

His eyes began to darken.

The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.

Well, just let it go!

From now on, I can rest in peace and reunite with my mother. No need to worry about scheming, no need to try so hard to please my father, no need to be so hypocritical with the officials in the court.

The body of the King of Yan swayed and fell to the ground dejectedly.
