The ancient martial arts master traveled through time

Since Ye Tingshen had already decided to exchange for the Seventh Prince, he naturally began to do the finishing work.

Even if he is not in Zidan, he can only feel at ease if Zidan is in his own hands.

He came to a remote palace where his good father, good mother, and good brother were imprisoned.

That’s right, Ye Tingshen’s heart has become somewhat indifferent to the so-called family affection, and he has no psychological burden in imprisoning them.

Since nothing he did was recognized by his father, the emperor, and his mother, and they turned a blind eye to the suffering he endured and were so cruel to him, and he was locked up in a water dungeon for several months right after he came back, and they didn't care, then there was no need for him to act like a loving father and a filial son.

Pulling them down is also a way to give myself an explanation for what I have done over the years, because they have made me so heartbroken.

"Father, Mother, you are already old and should have enjoyed your retirement. From now on, let someone else share the hard work with you!"

The Zidan Emperor and the Empress began to curse at Ye Tingshen the moment they saw him: "Rebellious son! You are a traitor! How dare you attempt to usurp the throne? You have lost all conscience. Even if you get the throne, all the ministers in the court will not submit to you." The emperor's eyes were wide open and his beard was shaking with anger.

Ye Tingshen smiled and looked at his father, whom he once respected the most, with disdain.

"Royal brother, how could you treat father and mother like this! Even if they are wrong, you shouldn't treat them like this. They are already old. Why do you have to be angry with me? They love me too much as their son. They are not wrong. I am wrong. I shouldn't have accepted father and mother's arrangement. I shouldn't have married your fiancée. I shouldn't have been the crown prince. I will return Shuangshuang to you and the position of crown prince to you, okay? After all, we are brothers, and father and mother are your parents who gave birth to you and raised you. How can you bear to lock them up here?" Ye Tingwei said it with emotion, as if Ye Tingshen was really the evil and rebellious person.

Ye Tingshen hated his brother's hypocritical face the most. A sneer appeared on his lips, and his eyes were as cold as ice. "Is this king cruel? Is this king a traitor? I am just taking back what belongs to me. I didn't take your lives, so why are you so excited?"

Even after being exposed, Ye Tingwei didn't feel guilty and wanted to continue to persuade him, playing the emotional card. But Ye Tingshen interrupted him: "Okay, fourth brother, ask yourselves, who fought so hard to protect this world of Zidan, and who spent five years of hardship to exchange for this peaceful life? But how did you treat me? Do you really treat me as a family member?"

A trace of guilt flashed in the queen's eyes. She avoided looking at Ye Tingshen, not daring to look him in the eye, but she quickly suppressed it. She thought Tingwei was still young, so what was wrong with the elder brother giving in to his younger brother? Isn't she just a woman? Isn't it just the position of crown prince? Why can't he give it to his younger brother? In the final analysis, it was the elder brother Ye Tingshen who was narrow-minded and incompetent, and was reluctant to give his things to his younger brother. Thinking of this, she felt that she had done nothing wrong. The one who was wrong was Ye Tingshen. He shouldn't have come back to snatch everything from his younger brother. "You unfilial son, you are the eldest brother, what's wrong with giving in to your younger brother? Isn't this what you should do? It's really a waste of our cultivation of you!"

"Cultivation?"

Ye Tingshen laughed heartily, his voice echoing throughout the palace. "Cultivate? What you call cultivation is treating me like a chess piece, putting me in front when needed, and never stepping on me?"

Ye Tingshen almost roared in anger.

After yelling, I felt much better and the depression dissipated a little.

He continued, "However, everything I did back then was done willingly. Now, I no longer wish to be manipulated by you, and you don't need to put on such a false expression. From now on, this is where you will spend the rest of your life. Never even think of leaving this place."

He didn't want to pay any attention to these two ugly faces. No matter how much he said, they wouldn't listen. He really didn't want to stay with them for even a quarter of an hour longer.

After saying that, Ye Tingshen turned and left, leaving the emperor, the empress and his brother standing there dumbfounded.

What does he mean? Does he want to lock us up here forever?

No.

Ye Tingwei panicked. He didn't want to stay here forever. He pleaded loudly and stumbled out, "Brother, I know I was wrong. Please don't go. Let me out, okay? Don't go..."

When they reached the palace gate, they were stopped by the imperial guards. The gate slowly closed, blocking out Ye Tingwei's request. Ye Ting breathed a long sigh of relief and left.

The prime minister's family was stripped of their official positions and exiled to the Qingshuang Tower, where they were imprisoned for life. He originally wanted to kill Bai Shuangshuang to avenge himself, but Bai Dandan kept begging him for help because she saved his life, so he had no choice but to spare her life.

He replaced the court with his own confidants to ensure that the Purple Pill was in his hands. He would keep those who could be used and kill those who refused to obey. This was his usual style, but he did not act too drastically because he still missed the warmth his father and mother had given him when he was a child.

Now he has been chilled to the bone and is about to leave here, so there is nothing to worry about.

Finally, he gathered all his secret guards in the imperial study and ordered them to protect his kingdom. Thirteen of them, with clear divisions of labor, responded in unison, "We will defend the kingdom for you, Your Highness, and await your return."

The secret guards were a little reluctant and worried, but they dared not disobey the prince's orders and had to follow the arrangements.

"After I leave, the Seventh Prince will temporarily take over the throne of Crown Prince. You will assist him well."

"Yes."
