Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 382
The Sixth Prince himself also understood Yu Yan’s strength. It was precisely because of Yu Yan’s prowess, combined with the deep trust he had from the Emperor, that there were only three people serving in this vast Yangxin Hall, and even the Hidden Guards were not arranged.
Everyone had suspected the possibility of eunuchs confusing the Emperor to hold power, but Yu Yan had never shown any obvious ambition. His strength was indeed rare in the mortal world. Generally, cultivators who reached the Void Refinement Realm held themselves with pride and seldom participated in these mundane worldly affairs. So, even if someone had the intention, they couldn’t find anyone to oppose Yu Yan.
But now, what did he see? Before his father’s bed, was that Yu Yan’s corpse? His whole chest had been hollowed out!
This Qian Ding Sect Leader, Chen Muxue, who seemed so unassuming, actually had such power?
The Emperor steadied his breathing and then spoke coldly with a sneer, "Old Second..."
"Father, you don’t need to worry! Everything will be fine!" The Second Prince immediately stepped forward, his face full of excitement, his voice filled with the affection of a devoted son, as if he were the Emperor’s only good son, "There will no longer be bad characters like Yu Yan to hold you hostage. You don’t need to be afraid. Whatever happens, just tell me. I will climb mountains of knives and dive into seas of fire without hesitation!"
The Emperor’s words were stuck in his throat, nearly choked by a fit of rage, and dizziness overcame him as his blood surged upwards.
"Father! If you’re feeling unwell, please lie down!" The Second Prince immediately moved forward upon noticing.
It seemed he was helping the Emperor lie down, but in reality, the Second Prince forcefully pinned the Emperor’s frail body down.
The Emperor, thinking about how Yu Yan’s corpse had just been kicked onto this bed, even saw dark red bloodstains on the blanket, felt a wave of nausea. As soon as he was pressed down, he immediately bounced back up, retching and throwing up all the chicken soup he had previously drunk. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"Father!!" The Second Prince’s acting was all emotion, without technique. He shouted loudly, tears in his eyes, waiting for the Emperor to finish vomiting before pressing him down again, pulling the blanket over to cover the Emperor’s mouth and the remaining vomit on his body with a seemingly indifferent glance.
The Emperor now felt somewhat like "the children in the southern village bullying me for my weakness and old age."
Not to mention the Emperor, even the Second Prince felt slightly disgusted. A flash of revulsion crossed his face, but to play the part of a good eldest son, he once again wore an expression of filial devotion.
The Sixth Prince, seeing this, was alarmed, wondering when the Emperor’s good son had become the Second Prince. Wasn’t it always the Fifth Prince?!
No, this is completely unacceptable. With the Second Prince’s rapid ascent to power, would that mean his own chance of succession, excluding the Fifth Prince, would have to rank beneath this rubbish, the Second Prince?!
The Sixth Prince was alarmed inside, not caring about Chen Muxue or Yu Yan, and hurriedly stepped forward, crying with snot and tears, "Father! You must take care of your health! Nowadays, eunuchs are so vile, I thought Yu Yan was truly by your side sincerely, but didn’t expect this! I arrived too late!"
The Emperor’s mouth and nose were covered by the blanket, and trapped beneath it were the remnants of the Emperor’s own vomit. The sour and foul scent masked his nose and mouth, causing him to roll his eyes several times.
The Second Prince sat by the bedside, his hand firmly pressing down on the corner of the blanket near his thigh, while the other side was pressed behind the Emperor. However, in the current state, the Emperor, within such a confined space, found it difficult to lift his back to free the blanket.
Seeing the Emperor rolling his eyes in anger after he mentioned Yu Yan, the Sixth Prince suddenly became a bit flustered.
