Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1246

The black and white seeds fell all over the ground, making a crisp and chaotic sound.

Cen Yuan sighed softly and looked away from the scattered chess pieces. "Father, are you worried about the Second Prince and Princess Yunlan?"

"I have raised my sons and daughters for more than ten years. They want to kill me. I will execute them according to the law. What do I have to worry about? I am worthy of the heavens above and the earth below. I will have the face to meet my ancestors in the afterlife. I am not worried about them."

Cen Yuan slowly stood up, picked up a black dot, gently stroked its smooth surface, and then sat back down. "Then father is worried that the Empress Dowager still has remnants and hasn't been cleaned up?"

"Even Ying Xiaoshan and Hong Yang have been eradicated. As the ruler of a country, why should I worry about this?"

Cen Yuan put the black piece back into the chess box and picked up a white piece to play with it. "So, are you worried that Booth's death will sooner or later lead to a war between the two countries?"

Emperor Mingde snorted coldly, "The Wan Kingdom is forcing the emperor to abdicate on my northern wing's territory, trying to destroy my northern wing and harm my people. Let them fight, I can just lead the army in person and fight them to the death! Why should I be afraid? Why should I worry!"

Cen Yuan's patience was exhausted. She threw the white piece into the jade box and raised her voice, "Then why are you so worried like a young wife all day? When you see me, you turn green like a dog seeing food!"

Emperor Mingde felt very embarrassed looking at the angry Cen Yuan.

Cen Yuan's cold and pale face was as clear as frost. "You summoned me to play chess with you, but you ruined the game after just a few moves. You summoned me to drink tea, but you told me to get out after just a few sips. Hey, Emperor Mingde, have you become too arrogant recently and feel like you can just burn bridges with me?"

Burning bridges across rivers!

These four words were like sharp arrows that hit Emperor Mingde's heart accurately, causing him unbearable pain. It even made his breathing become short.

He raised his scarlet eyes solemnly and stared straight at Cen Yuan.

Cen Yuan's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason and he was speechless.

He was sitting and Emperor Mingde was standing.

Eyes facing each other.

It was unknown how long it took before Emperor Mingde used up all his strength to say one sentence, "It's me, Beiyi. I'm sorry..."

Cen Yuan's heart stagnated, "What do you mean?"

Emperor Mingde walked towards Cen Yuan step by step, put his hand on his shoulder, looked away in great pain, not daring to look him in the eye, "I saw who poisoned you."

His words were like heavy hammers, striking Cen Yuan's heart word by word.

Cen Yuan's ears buzzed and his vision went dark uncontrollably.

He tried to concentrate, but the pain in his body surged like a tide, and every bit of his strength was swallowed up bit by bit by the pain.

I felt as if my whole body was pierced by millions of needles at the same time, and the pain was far beyond what a normal person could endure.

His face instantly turned as pale as paper, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his lips trembled slightly with pain.

He clenched his teeth, trying not to groan in pain, but his body trembled more violently.

“Cen Yuan!” Emperor Mingde was terrified, with an indescribable grief welling up in his heart, “Cen Yuan!”

Just by mentioning it, Cen Yuan became like this. One can imagine what kind of torture she went through in her previous life.

Emperor Mingde had never seen Cen Yuan so helpless.

However, Cen Yuan's consciousness began to gradually blur, his brain felt a stabbing pain, and everything around him became distant.

He tried hard to grab something, but his hands eventually dropped powerlessly and he fell into Emperor Mingde's arms.

The only voice that echoed in the entire hall was Emperor Mingde's furious voice, "Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician! Find Envoy Shen! Quick! Cen Yuan..."
