Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

"You beast! What are you trying to do?! Do you really want to rebel?!"

Inside Chengxing Palace, King Dongli lay on his bed, breathing heavily as he asked Dongling Yu, who sat not far away. After saying this, he coughed violently, his pale face turning slightly red with anger.

Dongling Yu stared at him intently, seemingly annoyed by his coughing. He ordered a eunuch to give him some water to help him catch his breath.

A few days ago, he told the King of Dongli that he was actually his child with another man, and that Dong Tinglan was the true offspring of the Consort Li whom he had always longed for. The man was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted on the spot. Even today, he is still barely breathing.

Oh no, he was quite loud when he called him a beast.

"So what if they rebel! Didn't you originally intend to hand over Dongli to me?"

Dongling Yu shook the edict in his hand, which was burned to half its original size, and the words "Establish the Fourth Prince Dongling Yu as Crown Prince" could still be faintly seen on it.

He wheeled himself to the bedside, shoved the imperial edict in front of the King of Dongli, his eyes bloodshot, "Why did you burn it? Just because I'm a cripple now?"

King Dongli stared at the imperial edict before him, speechless. His tacit agreement was the best answer.

Dongling Yu tossed the imperial edict aside. "Three sons. If two die, who will you pass the throne to? You haven't had any heirs for so many years, and you probably won't have any in the future, right?"

"Dongling Yu!"

This was his secret and his shame, and it was revealed in public, especially by the child he had doted on for over twenty years. He found it all absurd.

"Ha, you're getting angry now." Dongling Yu found it extremely amusing. "You only care about your own face, without even asking about the lives of the other two children."

"What did you do to them!" Dongli King finally realized the meaning behind his previous words. Could this man be so crazy as to harm Jingming and Tinglan?

"I didn't do anything special, it's just that their lives are now in my hands." Dongling Yu took out the sandalwood box from his arms and waved it in front of Dongli King. Li Lian

Looking at the familiar box, he frowned. It turned out that what Dongling Yu had asked Zhuo Yi to retrieve was that Gu worm.

But the thought that his master had already lured out the Gu worms made him feel a little relieved.

King Dongli had a gut feeling that the box contained nothing good. His gaze followed the box as it swayed back and forth, and he asked in a deep voice, "What is this?"

“It’s something that can make Dong Tinglan suffer unbearable pain.” Dong Lingyu’s smile widened as he watched Dong Li Wang’s expression change. “I used this on him when he was ten years old. You have no idea how comical he looked back then, as if he wanted to die right away. It was more interesting than any play I’ve ever seen.”

King Dongli's face turned deathly pale, his chest heaving more violently, and he couldn't help but vomit another mouthful of blood. His spirits instantly weakened, but his gaze toward Dongling Yu was still piercing. "Tinglan has never done anything to wrong you, so why are you treating him like this?"

"Because it's fun. I stole his father and mother, and he still has to wag his tail and beg me like a dog. Don't you think that's interesting?"

These words sent a chill down the spines of everyone in Chengxing Palace, not just the King of Dongli. Lian An lay on the ground, his wound on his waist bleeding again due to the extreme emotional turmoil.

He stared at Dongling Yu's retreating figure with a gloomy face. The eunuch beside him noticed his expression and kicked him hard, "What kind of expression is that!"

Hearing the commotion, Dongling Yu turned to look at Lian An, surprised by the anger in his eyes. "What, are you standing up for Dong Tinglan?"

Lian An didn't answer, and Dong Lingyu didn't care either. Anyway, everything was going to end, and what he had stolen was his. If Dong Tinglan wanted to take it back, then he could go to hell with him.

"As expected, Dongling Yu detained Zeng Xi and the others."

In the study of the Fifth Prince's residence, Dong Tinglan, Jiang Heng, Mo Wu, Zhao Yi, and others were gathered together, looking at a map of the imperial palace.

Mo Wu circled a spot on the map, "I'll lock them up here."

Dong Tinglan tapped the table with his fingertip and said in a deep voice, "He did it on purpose."

Jiang Heng was currently monitoring everything happening in Chengxing Palace through 886. Dong Tinglan was right; Dong Lingyu's actions these past few days had been far too crude, as if he were deliberately exposing himself to everyone, afraid that others wouldn't know he was about to rebel.

"What do you mean?"

Mo Wu looked at the person next to him, waiting for an explanation.

Dong Tinglan briefly recounted what had happened at Lingyun Palace, and Mo Wu frowned, "You did it on purpose, deliberately provoking him and making him lose control."

Jiang Heng suddenly turned to look at him, her eyes wide open. Dong Tinglan smiled, pinched his cheek and gently tugged at it, but Jiang Heng slapped his hand away.

"Tsk." Dong Tinglan flicked his hand behind his back and said seriously, "He doesn't want to rebel. With his pride, he would never sit in that position with a disabled body and be pointed at and gossiped about. He just wants to lure me into the palace."

"Why are you being sent to the palace?" Mo Wu blurted out instinctively.

"He probably wants to die with me."

Dong Tinglan smirked, his eyes full of mockery. Anyone who didn't know better would think he had done something heinous to Dong Lingyu, which was why the other party was willing to risk his life to drag him down with him.

Now it's a test of who can stay calm the longest.

But it was clear that Dongling Yu was the first to give in. His lumbar spine, which had been broken by Dongting Lan, did not allow him to sit for long periods of time every day, and he was also fed up with having to rely on others for almost everything.

On the third day, before dawn, the eunuch delivering the imperial decree arrived at the Fifth Prince's residence. Thinking they would have to wait a while, they were surprised to find Dong Tinglan already seated in the main seat as soon as they entered the main hall.

The young eunuch met his gaze for a moment, then immediately lowered his head to look away. The reason was simple: the Fifth Prince was very different from usual today; his aura was intimidating.

"Your Highness, the King has issued an urgent decree summoning you to the palace immediately."

"Which king are you delivering the edict on behalf of? My father, or... Dongling Yu?"

Upon hearing this, the eunuch looked up in shock at the person above him, then knelt down and said, "Your Highness, you cannot say such things. There is only one king in Dongli."

Dong Tinglan dusted off his clothes, stood up, and walked towards the door. As he passed the eunuch, he said coldly, "I can go into the palace by myself. You can stay here."

The eunuch understood the meaning behind his words, got up and tried to run away, but a short arrow flew from behind and pierced his head, causing him to fall to the ground with his eyes wide open.

Dong Tinglan glanced at the arrow piercing his forehead, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Zhao Yi.

"When did you start liking to use this stuff?"

Don't people usually think that wielding a knife is more impressive, with its wide and sweeping movements?

Zhao Yi raised the crossbow bolt in his hand, his tone rather helpless, "Young Master Jiang said that wielding a knife and attacking people in the mansion would dirty the ground. He told us to use crossbows whenever possible to resolve the situation."

Dong Tinglan chuckled softly, "Quite particular."

Zhao Yi put away his crossbow and followed him out with long strides. "Prince Jiang should be at the palace with Mo Wu by now."

Dong Tinglan felt a headache coming on just thinking about it. In the middle of the night, the young prince insisted on going to the palace with Mo Wu to set up an ambush, and she herself had been blinded by lust and actually agreed.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wonder where the young prince had learned all those tricks, since he hadn't seen them in the stories he read.
