The ugly girl's nirvana, the disabled prince's love

Chapter 258 Like being struck by lightning

The emperor knew that he might not be able to escape death today, but he would never let the prince succeed easily, even at the cost of his life.

He was so angry that he was shaking all over. He stood up suddenly, pointed at the prince and angrily said: "I have been on the throne for many years, and I have only cared about this country and the people of the world. But you are so cruel and ruthless that you want to usurp the throne. Do you think this throne can be obtained so easily?"

The prince's face darkened, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "Father, please don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. I have already given you a chance. Since you don't cherish it, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the guards behind him took a few steps forward. The heavy footsteps seemed to step on the emperor's heart with every step.

The emperor looked at the guards approaching step by step, but he had no intention of retreating. He straightened his spine and said loudly: "Even if I die, I will not let you, the rebellious son, succeed. Without the imperial seal, even if you sit on the throne, it is not legitimate, and no one in the world will obey you!"

The prince sneered, "Imperial Seal? Humph, Father, do you think you can stop me by hiding the Imperial Seal? I will find it sooner or later. However, if you hand it over now, I may be able to leave you with an intact body."

The emperor's eyes widened with anger: "Don't even think about it! I would rather destroy the imperial seal than let it fall into the hands of a disloyal and unrighteous person like you."

The prince's eyes were filled with rage, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Father, you are forcing me to do this. Someone, search this room! Turn this room upside down and find the imperial seal!"

Upon receiving the order, the guards immediately dispersed and began to search everywhere in the imperial study.

For a moment, there was noise in the imperial study. Books and memorials were thrown all over the floor. Precious ornaments were also broken in the panic, making crisp sounds, as if the dynasty was groaning in pain.

The emperor felt heartbroken when he saw the chaotic scene, but his eyes remained firm and he silently swore in his heart that he would fight this rebellious son to the end no matter what and protect the country passed down by his ancestors.

The prince stood aside, staring at the emperor with sinister eyes, waiting for the moment when the jade seal was found. It seemed as if he had already seen himself ascending the throne and controlling the world. Greed and madness were fully revealed in his eyes.

The guards searched every corner of the imperial study, but still found nothing.

A guard ran to the prince with a terrified look on his face and reported: "Your Highness, we have thoroughly searched the imperial study, but we can't find any trace of the imperial seal."

At this moment, Yu Gongchen felt a tightness in his chest, followed by a violent cough, as if he was going to cough out his heart and lungs.

He had been feeling a little unwell for the past two days, but he thought it was due to worrying too much about the usurpation of the throne and being physically exhausted, so he didn't take it seriously.

However, at this moment, he actually felt that breathing was becoming difficult, as if his chest was being pressed down by a huge rock.

He knew that his symptoms were very similar to the strange disease Ning Rouer had suffered from before. He was a little unsteady on his feet, so he slowly sat down and ordered the guards in a stern voice, "Go and bring the Imperial Concubine and the Crown Princess to me."

Yu Gongchen was infected with the new coronavirus. He felt weak all over, had a splitting headache, a burning throat, and kept coughing. Every breath was painful.

Soon, the Imperial Concubine and the Crown Princess were brought in by the guards.

The Imperial Concubine had a calm expression, but her eyes revealed worry and anger. Her posture remained dignified, but her steps were a little heavy.

The Crown Princess's face was filled with fear, her hair was a little messy, there were tears in her eyes, and her body was trembling slightly.

The guards escorted the two to the emperor. Yu Gongchen looked at the imperial concubine and ordered fiercely, "Imperial concubine, if you want to live, give me the pills you gave to Rou'er before."

The Imperial Concubine looked at the Emperor with a knife on his neck, her eyes flashing with determination, and she said to Yu Gongchen: "Let your father go, and I will give you medicine."

Seeing this, Yu Gongchen asked the guards to put away their knives.

The Imperial Concubine then took out the medicine bottle from her bosom and handed it to Yu Gongchen. Yu Gongchen hurriedly poured out the medicine and found that there were only two pills, so he shouted angrily: "Why are there only two pills?"

The Imperial Concubine said calmly, "There are only two pills left. You can take them first. They can relieve the pain, but they can't cure it. I remember Ran Ran gave me two bottles, but I can't remember where the other one is."

After hearing this, Yu Gongchen cursed and then swallowed the two pills. After a while, his condition improved significantly.

He then ordered the Imperial Concubine, "Imperial Concubine, think about it carefully and find that bottle of medicine for me as soon as possible, or I will kill the three of them."

Then he looked at the emperor, his eyes revealing ruthlessness and pride, "For the sake of our father-son relationship, I'll give you two days to think it over. If you insist on not handing over the jade seal, don't blame me for taking your life."

After saying this, Yu Gongchen turned and walked towards the door, but after just two steps he turned back with a perverted smile on his face.

"I have two pieces of news for you, one good news and one bad news.

The good news is that your eldest son Yu Gongxian was not dead before, he is Ren Jingzhi, the bad news is that I killed him when he went to the border this time. And Yu Gongyu contracted a strange disease at the border and died suddenly. Haha..."

When the Imperial Concubine heard this, she was struck by lightning and her face turned pale instantly. She widened her eyes and asked in disbelief, "What do you mean by that? How could my virtuous son still be alive? Didn't he die young?"

Yu Gongchen laughed proudly and said, "I heard that back then in Yinling Temple, the midwife was selfish and replaced her own grandson with the emperor's eldest son.

It was she who allowed Yu Gongxian to live for more than twenty years, but he died young. Three years ago, I poisoned him but failed to kill him. But God gave me another chance, and this time I finally killed him, haha......"

After he finished speaking, he ordered: "Watch them carefully, give them some water and some white flour buns."

After Yu Gongchen left, the emperor and the imperial concubine seemed to still be immersed in the earth-shaking words they had just said.

The emperor had a sad face. He looked at the imperial concubine and said in a hoarse voice, "My beloved concubine, I never thought that there would be so many conspiracies and crimes hidden in this palace. My dear... My dear..."

The Imperial Concubine was already in tears. She sobbed and said, "Your Majesty, I always thought Xian'er was no longer alive. I didn't expect... I didn't expect Jingzhi's child to be Xian'er. No wonder every time I see him, I always feel so close to him. This is blood relationship!"

My poor child, he still couldn't escape the clutches of this vicious mother and son!"

At this point, she was so angry that she trembled all over. "Your Majesty, we must avenge Xian'er and cannot let the prince succeed!"

The emperor clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with determination: "Don't worry, my beloved concubine. Even if I risk my life, I will not let him get what he wants. I have already arranged the jade seal, so he can't get it. It's just a pity for Xian'er and Yu'er..."

“Xian’er… Yu’er…” The Imperial Concubine finally uttered these words with difficulty. Her voice was as hoarse as the friction of broken sandpaper, and every syllable was filled with bone-eating pain.
