Chapter 1556: Chapter 1556: A Mere Insignificant Life
“When you commanded someone to poison the court officials, did you not think of yourself as the Emperor? When you desired the lives of the Longhu Guards, the Three Guards, and the imperial guards, intending to incite internal strife, did you not think of yourself as the Emperor?
And when you sent people to the border, plotting to poison the soldiers of Daqing Kingdom, provoking a war, did you not consider that you were the Emperor of Daqing Kingdom?
Oh, now that you’ve been poisoned and your life is threatened, you remember that you’re the Emperor?
Dog of an Emperor, you really are lucky, caring only about your own life, aren’t you? Do the lives of others mean nothing to you, mere weeds in your eyes? Or is it that this throne is really so comfortable to sit upon?
Not knowing how to govern the nation, only threatening others with their lives, is this what you call being an Emperor? That everyone must listen to you?
Listen to you for what? To make Daqing a place of total chaos, where the people have no means to live?
“You… you…”
The old Emperor trembled, pointing at An Jiuyue, unable to articulate a complete sentence.
When had he ever made the nation such that the people had no means to live? If it weren’t for that rebellious Third Prince, if it weren’t for Qian Jiyun, Prince Zhan Yun, always pressed against him, how could he possibly have ended up in this situation?
If he hadn’t fallen into this predicament and needed to fight back, why would he have targeted those outside?
So, wasn’t all of this because of that rebellious son and Qian Jiyun? It was their doing; all of this was their fault, and it had nothing to do with him!
“What a clever tongue you have, what does a woman like you understand? This is all the fault of that rebellious son. If he had not turned against Us, why would We act in such a way?”
“Heh.”
An Jiuyue let out a cold laugh.
“So, you think that when you want to take the Third Prince’s life, he should just obediently give up his own life to make you feel secure?”
“I am the Emperor, the world belongs to Me, let alone his insignificant life,” the old Emperor said bluntly.
In his heart, except for himself, the lives of all others were worthless; he believed he could take them whenever he wished.
An Jiuyue furrowed her brows, feeling very displeased with his words.
“Qian Jiyun, feed him another pill of poison. For someone like him, he deserves to suffer twice as much!” She stood up and said to Qian Jiyun.
“You… ugh!”
Before the old Emperor could react, Qian Jiyun had already stuffed another “pill of poison” into his mouth.
By the time he was free, it was too late. With the lesson from before, he didn’t even need to retch because it was impossible to vomit it out.
“Antidote, give me the antidote!”
“Pfft!”
An Jiuyue stepped back, truly laughing out loud.
“We poison you and then immediately give you the antidote? Dog of an Emperor, do you think we have nothing better to do than to indulge your whims?”
Was it that they really had nothing else to do than to administer poison only to offer the antidote right after?
Well, this might not be poison, but for the old Emperor, it was something he could not tolerate daily. She was eager to see who else in the world could have as miserable a time as the old Emperor would have!
“Forget about the antidote, my ‘poison’ has no cure. Every night at midnight, you will suffer unbearably for a full hour. Tonight, you can have a taste of that agony.”
“You… Poisonous Woman!”
The old Emperor looked up at the high and mighty An Jiuyue, who, in his eyes, was as terrible as a devil.
