Chapter 523 Save your life
"Haven't you always wanted to go downstairs to see your queen? I won't let you do that."
When Emperor Chu heard this, he instantly became angry and his face turned red and his hands shook. His lips trembled and a low roar came from his throat.
"You, you killed Yi'er?"
"Yuanshi, aren't you afraid of being punished by God for doing this?"
Empress Dowager Yuan sneered, "God's punishment? Why should I be afraid of such an illusory thing?"
"I am afraid that I cannot avenge myself and take away the Chu family's kingdom. If there is any benefit, I will do it."
"Although I am a woman, my ability is no less than that of you royal descendants. The Chu family has been in power for hundreds of years. Now is the time to let someone from an aristocratic family take over the throne!"
Veins bulged on Emperor Chu's forehead as he uttered a few words with difficulty.
"Yuan... Yuan, the ancestors of the Chu family fought desperately to establish the Western Shu Kingdom. You are trying to usurp the throne, and you will not have a good death!"
Queen Dowager Yuan glanced at him coldly. Not only was she not angry in her heart, but a hint of pride appeared on her face.
The more Emperor Chu hated her, the more excited she felt.
The angrier he got, the happier she became.
After all, no matter how angry he was, it was just a last-ditch struggle before death and it couldn't change anything.
The Chu family is destined to perish in her hands!
Empress Dowager Yuan looked at Emperor Chu's face, which had turned blue with anger, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
“I advise you to save your energy. Maybe you can live a few more days. Then you can see with your own eyes how your son is buried, and see how the Western Shu Kingdom you protect changes.
Emperor Chu's eyes were wide open with anger, his gaze was as sharp as knives, and he wished he could eat Empress Dowager Yuan alive!
"Yuanshi, even if I become a ghost down there, I will not let you go!"
Empress Dowager Yuan looked disdainful and said, "Do you think I'm afraid? I've killed hundreds of Chu family members, if not a thousand. Has any of them turned into a ghost and come to me to claim their lives?"
Apart from Chu Yi who suddenly scared her tonight, Empress Dowager Yuan felt more and more that Chu Yi was not a ghost at all, but someone pretending to be a ghost.
However, once you enter this palace, don't expect to walk out safely!
The palace is full of her people inside and outside. Since someone is rushing in to die, don't blame her for being ruthless!
Retracting her thoughts, Empress Dowager Yuan sneered and continued to say to Emperor Chu: "Since you are about to die, I might as well tell you the truth. It is not me who is plotting to usurp the throne. There is someone else sitting on the throne. What can you do even if you are angry?"
"There is no one left in your Chu family. The reason why I kept you was to use your son's pure yang bloodline to open the gate of the forbidden land. Unfortunately, no one in your family has the bloodline that can open the switch of the forbidden land formation."
"Now I have figured it out. Instead of being obsessed with the treasure map in the forbidden area, it is better to directly destroy the Chu family and support someone to firmly establish the throne of the Western Shu Kingdom."
"At worst, I won't want the things in the forbidden area. Anyway, if I can't take it away, others may not be able to take it away either."
"I'm tired of this cat and mouse game. It's time to call it a day!"
"Puff!" As soon as these words came out, Emperor Chu was so angry that he spat out blood.
He knew that Queen Dowager Yuan was ambitious, but he didn't expect that she would support someone else to sit on the throne.
Empress Dowager Yuan has no children. Isn't this equivalent to handing over the kingdom of Western Shu to other people?
Emperor Chu's eyes were bloodshot, and he said angrily: "Yuan Shi, do the people know that you did this?"
Empress Dowager Yuan looked disdainful. "They are just a bunch of lowly and unruly people. What if they know or not? Do I care?"
"In this world, whoever has power and influence has the final say. Since those unruly people respect me, they should support what I do."
"After all, if I hadn't been in charge of the government, the Western Shu Kingdom would have been destroyed by other countries long ago. How could they have the peaceful life they have now?"
Emperor Chu clenched his teeth and stopped talking.
He finally realized that the reason why Queen Dowager Yuan came to him was to irritate him.
She was filled with a strong sense of superiority, and only by saying these things in front of him could she show off.
When Empress Dowager Yuan saw that he stopped talking, she also felt bored.
She taunted a few more times, picked up the lantern and turned away.
After making sure that Queen Dowager Yuan had gone far away, Ji Yuntang suddenly decided to let Hua Feixue go.
As soon as he left the space, he could not wait to rush to Emperor Chu, holding his hand and calling out: "Father, Father, are you okay?"
After calling out several times, there was no response from the person on the bed, so Hua Feixue hurriedly looked at Ji Yuntang.
"Princess Ye, what happened to my father? Go and check on him."
Ji Yuntang asked Hua Feixue to stand up, put his fingertips on his wrist, and began to feel his pulse.
After a moment, Ji Yuntang withdrew his hand and said, "His body was already in a bad condition, and he was just provoked by Empress Dowager Yuan. He fainted from anger. I have a Gu Yuan Pill here that can help you save his life temporarily."
As she spoke, she took out a black pill from the space and stuffed it into Emperor Chu's mouth.
Then he said: "You guessed correctly. Your father's tendons in his hands and feet have been severed. I can perform surgery to connect them, but not now."
"One operation takes at least five or six hours. There is simply not enough time."
"Besides, his current condition makes it difficult to move him. If we want to perform surgery, we have to find a way to remove the chains on him, otherwise the surgery cannot be performed."
Hua Feixue's eyes fell on the four iron chains, which were thicker than a baby's arm. He gritted his teeth and said, "The key must be with the old witch. I'll go get it."
Ji Yuntang grabbed his sleeve and said, "Don't worry, leave the key to me. I'll find time to steal the key for you tomorrow. I've saved your father's life with medicine, so he'll be fine for now."
Hua Feixue felt relieved when he learned that his father could still undergo surgery.
He asked Ji Yuntang, "So what should we do next?"
Ji Yuntang did not answer but asked, "Your Highness, did you just hear Nanny An say that Empress Dowager Yuan is going out tonight to visit the Imperial Master?"
Just now, she was too far away from Queen Dowager Yuan and could vaguely hear these words, but she was not sure whether she had heard them correctly.
Hua Feixue thought about it carefully and nodded, "Yes, I heard it too. Is there any problem here?"
Ji Yuntang narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You think there is no problem, that is the biggest problem. Which normal person would not stay in his own bedroom in the middle of the night and run to another man's bedroom?"
