The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people
Chapter 211 Heartache
Shentu Jue kept his lips tightly closed. Facing the crazy and frenzied woman before him, the unignorable stench in his mouth and the pain gradually churning in his stomach almost paralyzed his brain.
He was clearly thinking of revealing the words that he had discussed with the high priest before, but when the words came to his lips, he inexplicably changed direction and began to talk incessantly, telling out all the secrets that should have been hidden in his heart.
"This prince had a close relationship with the Daqian Emperor several years ago. If it weren't for his help, how could my father have died so coincidentally, right when my eldest brother was inspecting the border, far away from the imperial city? Everything was the result of this prince's careful planning.
This prince is a legitimate prince, and the Langwa should have been mine. Unfortunately, my father is blind, so I will personally correct his decision. Sooner or later, Daxia and Daqian will fall into my hands. You are only fit to crawl on the ground and be my dogs..."
Liang Chongyue looked at Shen Tu Jue, who was laughing crazily and didn't forget to cover his mouth to stop him. He was another man whose mind was full of dogs. He was an incompetent man who could only fantasize.
Liang Chongyue picked up the branding iron at hand and, under Shentu Jue's horrified eyes, directly inserted the branding iron into the cell. The hot iron poked at his body, which made Shentu Jue wake up in an instant.
After Shentu Jue's screams of pain finally stopped, Liang Chongyue slowly spoke:
"This princess is asking you what benefits you promised Daqian. Stop dreaming here, or next time this iron will burn more than just your arm."
The smell of burning clothes and flesh came, Liang Chongyue put away the branding iron and walked away from the cell filled with the fishy smell.
When Shentu Jue was burned by the branding iron just now, he couldn't hold on for a moment, his feet slipped, and he knelt directly on the smelly liquid, and a lot of the splashed liquid fell on him.
The majestic image of the emperor in the past is gone, and now he is just a prisoner waiting for his fate in this dark cell.
Shentu Jue covered his scalded arm with one hand and struggled to get up from the ground. His leg was injured when he was being chased. When he knelt just now, the injured part hit the ground directly, and the pain was no less than that in his arm.
Shentu Jue sat back on the stone bed beside him. His uncontrollable mouth and the increasing number of secrets he was talking about were enough to make him feel hopeless. He leaned against the stone wall, looking like he had accepted his fate.
"The Emperor of Daqian heard from somewhere that the heart blood of those born with white hair is the best medicine for nourishing and prolonging life. He told me to secretly send Ayu to Daqian and he would guarantee that I would ascend to the throne."
"I did as I was told, but Ah Yu was young at the time, and since childhood, my mother had treated him as a disgrace, keeping him locked up in a tent. No one was allowed to speak to him, and I was the only one who would visit him occasionally. After my mother died, within two months, the new queen ascended the throne. I was so focused on seizing power that I neglected to accompany him.
When I agreed to Daqian's request and went to see him, he had been forgotten in the tent. The iron chain around his neck bound him so that he could only move around in the tent. He relied on wild grass on the ground to fill his stomach every day, and ate the mice and snakes that occasionally crawled into the tent. I don't know how long he had been hungry.
When I took him out of the tent, his eyes were very sensitive to light. He could only stay in the tent for a long time. He could only come out for a walk when the sun went down and the sunlight was not so glaring.
I've been with him for three months, and he already sees me as his salvation. Hahahaha, he didn't even resist when I took his heart blood. What a hopeless idiot..."
Liang Chongyue sat on a chair beside and listened quietly. There is no one in power who is not cruel. Fratricide is an inevitable ordeal on the road to succession.
Since ancient times, imperial families have valued having many children and good fortune, so that they can have more choices when it comes to the heir to the throne.
However, those who are not worthy of their position will surely suffer disaster. Liang Chongyue is ready to adjust his original plan.
She can use an incompetent person as long as he is obedient enough, but she cannot use a shameless person. Such a person will be rotten to the core no matter how strong the medicine is.
The system on the other side frowned. It didn't expect that Shen Tu Yu, who was beaten up by it, would have such a tragic experience. It regretted that it had been too harsh.
No wonder he looks so stupid, not smart at all, and followed a bastard. Fortunately, he met the host, otherwise his life would be completely over.
There are so many beasts in this world that look like humans, and you can't tell them apart even if you look carefully. No wonder the host says that humans are scarier than ghosts.
"So why wasn't he sent to Daqian but stayed with you? And even came to the capital?"
"Because he's obedient, he does whatever I tell him to do. The old emperor of Daqian loves him dearly. It's a pity that he only listens to me. When I'm not around, he'd rather die than let anyone take his blood away. To prolong his life, the old emperor of Daqian even locked him up with chains and kept him there for a while.
When he was finally sent back, his body was covered in knife wounds, just like the torture of slow slicing in Daxia. But the flesh on his body was still there, and he was still alive.
"As long as Ayu is in my hands, the old emperor of Daqian will have no choice but to send someone to help me seize power in order to prolong his life. In exchange, I will use Ayu's blood to feed him for three whole years."
"Over the years, I have used up all kinds of precious herbs, finally making that old thing unable to live without A Yu's blood. I sent A Yu to the capital with the intention of taking advantage of the old emperor's desire for longevity and tricking him into believing that A Yu had been captured by the King of Xia and his life or death was unknown. I could then use him to start a war with your Great Xia. No matter which side wins, I will reap the benefits."
"I just never thought that among King Xia's group of incompetent heirs there would be someone like you. It's a pity that you're a woman. It's impossible for you to ascend to the throne in this life. Everything you do is just a wedding dress for others. How about we join forces? After the matter is accomplished, I will follow your Great Xia customs and carry you to be my queen with a grand ceremony."
Liang Chongyue had already witnessed Shentu Jue's shamelessness, so he ignored him and continued to ask:
"Tell us everything you've been conspiring with the old emperor of Daqian over the years."
Liang Chongyue glanced at the system that was rolling its eyes at Shentu Jue. Upon receiving the host's gaze, the system immediately adjusted its sitting posture and nodded at the host.
Soon Shentu Jue's information appeared on her panel, with many marked places and quite a few additions and modifications.
As Shentu Jue explained word by word, the content on the panel automatically changed without Liang Chongyue having to do anything himself.
An hour later, Liang Chongyue got the completely authentic information after the changes.
